Sorry for all the late chappies, having slight writers block. Will be some songs in this one, and the next one. WARNING VERY LONG CHAPTER! PERPARE FOR A LONG READING TIME! (Also standard disclaimer applied)

Mîr had finally fallen asleep, around 4 am, after her chat with BB. She felt a lot better knowing that he didn't hate her anymore. But still she was puzzled at her own actions, feeling as sad and depressed as she was after Aqualad's departure. Now however she felt much better, even though she had gotten only four hours of sleep. She had heard all of the other titans get up but still remained in bed. Then she began to recount all the times she had heard doors open. She counted four times, since her room was closest to the briefing/living room she had heard each one of her teams go in for breakfast. But now that she thought about it why only four? Someone still must not have not gotten up, she decided to get up and see for herself.

Mîr got up and slipped on a pair of jeans, then one off her favorite tank-tops colored crimson. Last a light jacket over the tank-top since it was slightly chilly out. Mîr found her CD player and slipped into her coat pocket before leaving her room. Slipped on the headphones and listened to a quick song, just to wake her up.

'Here I am – this is me, there's no where on earth I'd rather be.' the song began ' Here I am - it's just me and you, tonight we make our dreams come true

It's a new world - it's a new start

It's alive with the beating of - young hearts

It's a new day – it's a new plan

I've been waiting for you

Here I am'

Mîr loved this song. It always woke her up in the morning. As she neared the door to the living room she turned off the music and took off her headphones, laying them on her shoulders. She opened the door to see the each titans doing there normal morning activities. Raven silently reading a book in a dark corner, occasionally sipping a little out of a cup of tea. Cyborg gorging down breakfast as fast as possible to go play video games with BB and Robin eating a normal pace near them.

"Morning Mîr." Robin said looking up from his plate. She nodded hello and looked around. Starfire was apparently the one titan whom had not woken. She lifted an eye as she watched Cy stuff fork-full after fork-full of scrambled eggs down.

"What's the rush?" Mîr asked sitting down next to Robin. "The eggs going to run away or something?"

"Orning îr." Cy managed to say not stopped his eating pace. BB sat neat to him waiting patiently.

"The Gamestation company is having a huge game release this morning." BeastBoy said. "Owners of a Gamestation just have to log on and they get access to the brand new, never before seen, world premier of…." He took a dramatic pause. "MEGA MONKEYS 5!" Mîr honestly didn't understand how a simple game could mean so much to the two. Then again she had her fair share of waiting past midnight at stores for various items to come on sale. She shook her and as she watched Cy and BB run over to the couch and began to hook up the Game-station.

"Where's Star?" Mîr finally asked looking at Robin.

"Good question." Robin said looking around also. "Hope she's alright." He got up and put his dish in the sink. "Maybe I should go check on her." He began to head to the door when Mîr stopped him.

"Hold you horses lover-boy, maybe I should do it." She smiled wryly and opened the door. Robin gave her a quick annoyed look, then stated.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Then the door shut, silencing Mîr's reply.

Mîr walked casually up to Starfire's door. She was slightly worried about her. Robin hadn't even noticed she had not joined them that morning. He seemed pretty upset after she mentioned it to him. Mîr reached up and knocked on the door. There was no reply at first then a small voice answered.

"Yes? Who is there?"

"Star it's me Mîr, may I come in?" The door slid open. Stars room inside was unnaturally dark. Her curtains closed tightly over the windows. Mîr soon spotted Star sitting on her bed, staring a something in her lap. Mîr walked over and sat next to her.

"Cute calendar." Mîr noted looking at it. It was a kitten themed calendar, this month's kitten being a black and white one sitting in a basket.

"Yes." Star stated dully "It is. May I help you friend Mîr?" She asked standing and walking over to a dresser and placing the calendar on it. Mîr followed her.

"I- I mean Robin and I where worried about you. You didn't show up for breakfast this morning and …" She trailed off when she saw Star looking at her with some interest.

"Robin was worried about me?" She asked.

"Why wouldn't he be? You are normally the first one up in the morning." Star seemed to be blushing slightly. Mîr then saw a pile of pictures sitting alone on her dresser. She walked over to the pile and picked them up.

"May I?" Mîr asked, referring to the pictures. Star nodded her head and went back to sit on her bed. Mîr started to look through the pictures with interest. Some of them where slightly blurred. Apparently these where the first pictures she had ever taken on earth. Most being, what Mîr guessed to be buildings, people, animals, and flowers.

"These are really good." Mîr said walking back over to Star's bed and sitting down next to her.

"I have become better at the camera of pictures." Star stated looking at some as well. Mîr continued to look through them when she reached the last one. It wasn't a picture exactly. It was a slip of film paper with 5 smaller pictures on it. Like one you would get from an old fashion picture booth from a boardwalk. They where all very funny. The first being nothing but a green blur, but the next showed Mîr who was in the booth, Starfire and Robin. The picture was slightly blurred but the two were still visable. The next one showed the two smiling and waving at the camera. The one after that had had them both making faces. Mîr laughed at the pictures causing Star to look over as well.

The final one showed Robin with one of his arms around Star's shoulders. Star had done the same and both titans where smiling and making peace signs at the camera.

"When where these taken?" Mîr asked handing her the strip. Star smiled.

"Right before my sister came to earth." Star said. "We had all gone to the boardwalk, I believe it was called, Robin showed me this machine and we had our photographs taken. Then we went on the Wheel of Ferris." The morning events had now perked Mîr's interest to a high level.

"So…" She began. "You like him… don't you?" She stated suddenly. Star seemed extremely surprised.

"I like him as a friend yes." She said. "What other way is there?"

"Let me state it another way." Mîr said. "Do you love him?" There was a long silence after Mîr's question. Star was either confused or embarrassed. Finally Mîr spoke up again.

"Hay it isn't my place to meddle, I'm sorry." She said trying to make Star feel somewhat better.

"No, you have said nothing to offend me. I just never thought about it. Yes I am his best friend, but…" Star trailed off and Mîr decided to change the subject.

"So, why a sudden interest in the calendar." Mîr asked remembering how Star had been staring at it when she first came into her room. Mîr walked back over to it and looked it over. Then noticed something, the square containing the days date had party balloons on it and a birthday cake.

"Is today…your birthday?" Mîr asked surprised. Starfire sighed and walked over.

"Yes, I did not remind anyone because I did not anyone to go to all the trouble of celebrating." Mîr was in shock. Starfire, the cheeriest of all the titans didn't want to have her own B-day party! It was rather hard to believe.

"Oh Star, the team would want to know. Celebrating wouldn't be a burden, it would be fun. I think you should go tell everyone." Mîr said. Star smiled and nodded her head. Both girls headed for the door when Mîr came up with a better idea.

"Hold on a second I have a really good idea, wait here would you?" She asked Star. Star nodded yes and went back towards her bed. As Mîr left she saw Star open the curtains and let light come flooding into her room

Mîr hurried back to the living room to let all her friends know that it was Stars birthday. She had so many fun ideas in store. A Surprise party sounded the best to her but she would want to see what everyone else thought first. She finally reached the door and opened to see something she didn't expect. Robin was no longer in the room and Cyborg, Raven, and BeastBoy all looked very concerned.

"What's going on?" Mîr asked as the door closed behind her. Raven was the first to speak up.

"We just received a call from a guy who says he found…something interesting." She said avoiding saying exactly what it was. BeastBoy looked very upset and this made Mîr wonder if it had anything to do with Terra.

"What exactly was found?" Mîr questioned. Cyborg stood up and went over to a computer under the giant TV screen. He typed something in and soon a picture appeared on screen. It was a mans face, really a masked face. Half of the mask was orange with a black outlined eye, the other half black.

"This is Slade." Cy explained. "He's the one…" Mîr cut him short seeing BB's face growing angrier.

"I know what he did, BeastBoy told me." Saying this caused both Raven and Cy to give off stunned looks. Cy continued

"Anyways, some guy found something of his at his old lair. Robin took off as soon as he heard."

"You have any idea what it is he found?" Mîr asked sitting down next to BB.

"No clue, we're still waiting for Robin to come back." Raven said sounding concerned. Some where in the tower the titans heard the sound of Robins R-cycle pulling into the garage. There was utter silence as the four titans listened as the boy wonders footsteps grew louder and louder. The footsteps passed the room they all waited in and began to die as he headed for what Cy and BB called the "obsession room". The room was completely silent again until Mîr remembered what she had come to say.

"On a more subscribing note," She began. "I found out why Starfire has been in her room all morning." This perked everyone's interest ad waited for Mîr to continue. "She thought it would be too much trouble to through a party for her."

"Why would be throw a party for her?" BB asked.

"Because today is her birthday." All the titans gasped in surprise at the news.

"Why didn't she tell us?" BeastBoy cried jumping up from the couch.

"I already told you, she though it would be too much trouble." Mîr repeated. "Anyways I was thinking of maybe doing something outside. Like a…" Before Mîr could finish a roar of thunder echoed through the tower. BeastBoy screamed like a girl and jumped into the air. This later caused fits of laughter from Cy and Mîr. Though Mîr though she saw Raven laugh some. She walked over to the window, the sky had suddenly turned dark during her time in the briefing room and it was now pouring down rain.

"So much for an outside party idea." She sighed leaning into the glass.

"We can always have a party in here." Cyborg suggested.

"Yeah! With ice cream and cake and candy. The Ice cream won't last long outside anyways" BeastBoy added. The party idea might be a disaster after all.

Mîr hurried back to Starfire's room once all the party plans where made. Star was still sitting on her bed when Mîr came in, playing with some cards.

"Crummy weather isn't it?" Mîr noted as Star began to hand her cards for there game of Go-Fish.

"Yes the weather is most horrible, but perfect for cards." Star said placing down a pair of 3's. "I heard Robin walk past my room a few minutes ago." Star continued. "Has something upset him?"

"I really don't know." Mîr said placing down a pair of 6's. "While I was in here they team got a call from some guy who found something having to do with Slade." At the sound of Slade's name Star sigh and dropped her gaze from her card hand. "Something wrong?" Mîr asked putting down her cards.

"Whenever Slade is around Robin does not act like himself. He is… cruel." Hearing such words from Star was harsh. Mîr wasn't blind to the slight attraction the two titans and hearing Star say such things about him was slightly shocking.

"Sometimes it seems that he does not trust us in capturing him. He does not believe we are good enough, that only he can catch him." Star touched a spot on her arm where she remembered he had shot her. He had been under Slade's control, she knew that now but the injury still hurt at times.

"I'm sorry Starfire." Mîr said softly. "That must have been horrid, but the good thing is that it was in the past. Wounds will heal." Star looked up and smiled at her friend. Her advice made her feel somewhat better.

"Besides it's your birthday! No tears or bad memories allowed!" Mîr said waging a finger at her. Star laughed and continued to play Go-Fish. A few minutes later Star noticed something falling out of Mîr's coat pocket.

"Friend Mîr, what is that?" She said pointing to it.

"Oh, it's my CD player, I forgot I had it." Mîr placed down her card hand and took it out. Star seemed to take a lot of interest in the device.

"How does it work?" Star asked picking it up.

"Well." Mîr said grabbing the headphones that where hanging down from the player. "Put these on and I'll show you." Star obeyed and slipped on the headphones. Mîr took the player itself into her hands and turned it on. She skipped through a few songs until she found one she thought Starfire would like. Star smiled and closed her eyes listening to the song. Suddenly Mîr felt her T-communicator vibrate at her side. She slipped it out and read the text message apparently sent by BeastBoy. It read: Mîr we need some help! Get back here now!

"Star I'll be right back; you can keep listening to the song." Mîr said getting up. Star nodded and began to hum to the music. Mîr hurried down the hallway and ran into the living room expecting to see it in flames or worse. But instead she found everything peaceful. Tons of streamers and balloons where up everywhere and food was laid out on a table.

"Where's the big emergency?" She asked seeing Cy tying some balloons.

"Well Mîr." BeastBoy said coming up from behind her. "Your party idea is great and all but there's one problem."

"And that problem is?" Mîr asked putting her arm on her hips looking slightly annoyed.

"WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRESENTS!" He semi-yelled. Mîr rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Raven just left 15 minutes ago with a list of gifts we wanted to get her and money for them. You forgot didn't you?" BeastBoy froze remembering Raven shouting at him about something and him ignoring her.

"He-he, Opps." He said smiling. Mîr laughed and threw an arm around his shoulder.

"Young changeling" She began acting wise and superior. "I have foreseen this and in the case asked Raven to purchased two gifts with my mu-la." She smiled laughing. BeastBoy smiled and thanked her then hurried off to help Cy with some plates and cups.

The rest of the party planning went pretty well. Raven returned with the presents and she and Mîr wrapped them. When everything was set and ready Mîr went and got Star. It was still raining and this made the living room twice as dark with the lights out. As soon as Star and Mîr walked in the light flashed on and everyone yelled 'SURPRISE!' Starfire was over joyed and hurried over to get all her friends hugs. As Cy began to cut up his famous 6 layer cake Star looked around looking slightly hurt.

"What's wrong Star?" Mîr asked walking over to her.

"Friend Mîr I am very grateful for all of your party making but, where is Robin?"

BAD ROBN! BAD, BAD,BAD, BOY! Anyways, very long sorry about that. And if anyone is wondering the song is from the soundtrack Spirit- Stallion of the Cimarron. Very awesome soundtrack might I add. Fluffy-ness coming soon. Please review.
