Starfire tried to float to her room, but still could not muster that joy of flying that use to come so easily. How could this have happened? Beast Boy shouldn't be dead. He couldn't be dead. He would come back, surely he would. Stopping by Beast Boy's now deserted quarters, she opened the door to find Silkie sitting at the front. He looked up at Starfire expectantly but seeing her face so downtrodden he crawled forward and looked up at her from her feet.

Involuntarily, Starfire's eyes welled over with tears which began to fall softly onto Silkie's head like a warm rain. Reaching down she picked up the mutant larva and held him close to her chest as the tears continued to pour out of her eyes. Turning she left the room and returned to the hallways. She knew what needed to be done. She had to watch the disc that Beast Boy had left for her. She wasn't sure what was on it, and frankly, she didn't care. But if it was from Beast Boy, it may be all she had left of him.

She gently set Silkie on her bed, where he crawled over and curled up on her pillow looking up at her mournfully. She went to her desk, unplugged her laptop and brought it to her bed, where she flipped it on and let it whirr to life. Finally, after an eternity the computer was ready to go. Popping the CD into the disc drive, she pulled Silkie into her arms and held him to her chest. Silkie curled up against Starfire's warm body and cooed in contentment.

With a sudden flash the screen came on, and there was Beast Boy, sitting in that chaos he claimed was his room.

X'hal, Grogh dor lofula Starfire, said Beast Boy as he raised his right hand in greeting "By Xhal's will, it is wondrous to see you dear sweet Starfire," whispered Starfire translating what Beast Boy was saying for herself.

Hey Star, hope I said that somewhat right. I got one of your friends from Tamaran to teach me that much.

So yeah, I guess Robin gave this to you. This is my goodbye. I know I didn't want to make this, I know you don't want to watch it, but still, I think it's important for both of us.

Beast Boy gave a shy smile as he continued Well, Star, there's something I want to tell you, and I hope you don't get weirded out by it. I love you Starfire. I've loved you for the longest time.

Beast Boy blushed on screen, the same way Starfire was now Okay, so its not like I want to marry you or make out with you or anything like that. But I do love you as a friend. You're a shining light, to me and this team. You were awesome for so many reasons. At any time you could make a person feel like they were the most important person in the world. Whenever I was around you, it was impossible for me not to smile at least a little bit.

No one was kinder than you Star. Remember when I tried to play that joke on Cyborg, and you got caught in it instead Starfire nodded silently Sure you were angry but you forgave me in an instant, so much more than I deserved.

Beast Boy gave a little laugh Hey, remember when we visited Tamaran, Blackfire was trying to get you married cause she wanted that shiny super powered jewel thingy? Starfire's eyes involuntarily flashed green as she remembered that adventure. Why bring that up? I remember how shocked we all were. I mean, seriously, you're our age. And have a husband? No way was that going to happen, not on our watch. I don't know if you knew it, but Robin was pissed. Like seriously pissed. Like you would have thought we had ripped off his mask in public. I hope you know why. Robin loves you Starfire, not love like Cyborg, Raven or I feel for you. Like is in complete and total love with you and he's been so for the longest time.

Starfire's eyes grew large. Robin felt the same way she did? She was angry for a moment. She couldn't believe that Robin had felt for her for so long and had not done anything about it. But that feeling passed as Beast Boy's message from the past played on.

Star, I know I may be stepping outside my bounds in telling you, but let's face it, I'm not too worried about it. And the reason I'm telling you this is because I know how Robin is going to react to it. He's going to blame himself and he's going to shut himself in his room and not come out. You can't let him; otherwise I know its going to be a repeat of the whole Slade incident and with Terra and me. Please promise me you'll take care of him.

"I promise," said Starfire with a small smile.

Well, I guess that's it. Take care Starfire, and watch out for Silkie. Remember, no more radioactive Zorka Berries. I love you.

The screen faded as Starfire's eyes welled up involuntarily with tears. This had ripped off the scab of grief that had formed, but even now she could feel the emptiness in her heart began to fill ever so slightly. She would never forget him.

"X'hal, Beast Boy, velo alanaae ceeaP touo ruyo xcne feli, velo uyo," whispered Starfire as she hugged Silkie.

"X'hal, love and peace to Beast Boy. Beast Boy I love you."
