"Starfire?" robin called again. No answer "star?" no answer.

A muffled sob could be heard from in the room then shuffling of feet and lastly her closet door gave a creaking moan as it closed. Robin, fearing she was in danger, opened her bedroom door faster than you can say odamodapea. He scanned the pastel purple room, but nothing appeared to be missing other than the tameranian herself.

"Starfire" Robin said gently looking behind her bed. No one. He walked to the closet silently and tugged at the door.

"Go away" Starfire called pulling the slit that had been opened shut again

"Starfire what's wrong" Robin said not budging the least bit.

"N-nothing I-is w-w-wrong" Starfire stuttered hiccuping.

"Then why are you hiding in the closet?" Robin asked

"Just please leave me alone" Starfire cried

"Starfire." Robin said "it's me Robin"

"I know, just please leave my room." Starfire said

"Star open the closet door now" Robin commanded

"No" Starfire said like a stubborn child not wanting to go to bed.

"If you don't open it I'll be forced to break it down and I don't want to hurt you" Robin said quietly

"I'm not opening it!" Starfire said

Robin quickly kicked down the door and dug through the pile of clothes on the closet floor in an attempt to find starfire.

"Yo robin!" his communicator called

"What" Robin said sighing

"Are you coming down here sometime this year?" Cyborg asked

"I'll catch up as soon as I find starfire" Robin said

"What did she go missing or something" Cyborg asked confused

"She won't come out of her closet" Robin said shaking his head in dismay.

"Well try and hurry up you might want hear what this dude is saying" Cyborg said

"Record it, I'll be down there as soon as I can." Robin ordered

"Starfire." Robin said again

he saw the clothes pile rustle a bit and dug there. His hand ran across something smooth and warm. He found her at last, but she was wearing some fancy dress and upon her head there sat a crown.

"Why were you so worried about me seeing you like this?" robin asked puzzled

"and what's going on?"

"I can't get it off" Starfire said tugging at the crown.

"Why did you put it on anyway?" Robin asked puzzled

"Robin, the cloaked dude managed to escape" Cyborg said from his communicator

"That's okay, look you guys meet in the living room in an hour or two." Robin said into his

"Alright something weird is seriously going on, you don't want to listen to the recording now? Who is this and what happened to robin?" Cyborg said

"Starfire and I need to talk" Robin said simply turning his communicator off

in the T-car on the way home:

"They've been acting strange lately, you think somethings up?" Cyborg asked

"Dude Robin never acts like that something must be." Beast boy said

"For once I'll have to agree with Beast boy" Raven said

"No you agreed with me once before" Beast boy cut in

"Big whoop, one more time" Raven said sarcastically

back in Starfire's room:

Starfire lifted her hands which were raw and red up to her head and pulled at the crown once again. "It won't come off"she repeated sadly

"Why?" Robin asked baffled

"I was looking at this" Starfire said sadly lifting the silver book.

"Olette takaisin kotiin viela kerran" robin said confused "what does that have to do with anything?"

"I didn't recognize it at first so I opened to the first page and was sucked into a memory world. By the second and third time I opened it, it was by some pulling force. I didn't want to and now look at me." Starfire said as high heels magically appeared on her feet "it's transforming me back into what I once was"

"What's that?" Robin asked confused

"A princess" Starfire said avoiding his eyes

"What will happen?" Robin asked worriedly

"Eventually I'll disappear back to tameran, and I will forget all of you" Starfire said biting her tongue to hold back the tears.
