Oh! I am SO happy to hear such a great response for my last chapter:Hugs you all: I do this for you guys! Well, okay, it's decently fun for me too, but that's beside the point… but see, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have any reason to update, or even post these stories, so I aim to please! I really just try to write something that I would want to read. I come up with a sketchy premise and hopefully a whollop of an ending and then let my fingers work their magic from there! Now on to my thank yous… I had no requests for anything to (metaphorically) give you guys, so since I got such a good response for the last chapter, you each get 1 extra wish upon a shooting star the next time you see one! That's right! I'm giving you 2! In order to work this I shall give up one on each of mine for each one of you (since it's like my good luck symbol anyway, I think I'll be alright, besides, I just love y'all that much!). So, THANK YOU: Savvy(If you want you can have 2 extra!), evilsangle, Techna (I had hoped this would appease you), Lintilla, CuTtErWiThAcAuSe (there's enough Rob/Rae in the end to count), ReggieTuesday(hey Reg, profess away!), also Hermie, and MCD.

Aaronfors: Yay! I'm addictive! I've always wanted to be addictive! Oh, you meant my story? Well, I guess I can take at least partial credit for that –so yay still! And thank you oh so much for your review. For some reason, it just made my day. (I still can't believe you're 16). Anyway…no more twitching for you! Chapter 8 is here now!

Evilevergreen: once again, yay! 2 reviews! Yes, that would have been sad to kill off Robin after all that they'd been through, and I DO like to throw you curve balls, just not really THAT bad…hopefully (hehehe) and yes. I have a name for my comp too! I call it Meru. Like from the PS2 game 'Legend of Dragoon'.

Kissa123: Smiles lots one of the best stories you've read? Well wow! I don't even know how to take that compliment, so I will just say, Thank you oh ever so much. That just gives me more motivation to start writing another story! I will at least write another Rob/Star one shot here soon. I really need one of those. And hey, if you have a suggestion, I shall try to oblige. Something to get me going wouldn't be a bad idea at all!

DarkWindingRose: :brain rattles in head: OKAY OKAY….here :hands over chapter 8: will this appease you for now? (hehehe)

CherryJade: Maybe I'm trying to make you crazy…or maybe I'm not –you'll have to find out, for now you can rest peacefully in the fact that I love that you review (so, I wouldn't put you in TOO much pain… PS, I would love to see Raven just mentally throttle Robin myself.

Scott Okragleski: sorry, I haven't barely had a chance to read over my own chapters to edit them, much less read anything else. I shall try hard to remember for next time. And sure PM me the joke. And hahaha…you are no longer in "the loop" about my story…yay, the excitement builds. –Oh, and you know Raven can't take a joke…

Bethany Elise: I was like, "The part from 'The Sandlot'?... OH!" yeah! I didn't even think about that, but that is so totally cool. I love that movie! And thank you for the compliments. I never think of myself as a good writer. I've just got great material to work with!

--Whew! That was a lot, but please…don't stop reviewing! I will always try my hardest to respond to each and every one of you!

(and BTW, I'm updating this while I'm at work…SHHHHHH! Don't tell!)

Disclaimer: Isn't Robin a hottie? I mean, whoo…Oh and BB's not too bad in the fun department, and Cy's got this whole suave thing going and… -not quite a "disclaimer", but really…who cares?

Down Time

"…and then Starfire brought us here where we met all of you," Cyborg finished up his account of the days harrowing events and glanced around the room at the faces taking in his every word. Beast Boy, surprisingly enough, was staring back at him in awe, as though he'd never before heard the account of what had happened to him just that day. Beast Girl sat next to him with the same expression of wonderment, only her head had tipped ever so slightly to the right with every gasp of excitement and fear, so much so that in the middle of Cyborg's oration, her head had touched Beast Boy's shoulder and they jumped back and turned away from each other, both sticking out their tongues in disgust before continuing their captivated listening. Cy gave him a nod and tipped his hat (yes, his cowboy hat) to him in understanding. Starfire had been leaning on one elbow with her chin in her hand checking her nails as if disinterested, though she was truly far from it. Raven, of course, showed no emotion whatsoever, and Ted was nowhere to be seen…again. "So, do y'all have any idea as to what we do now?" he asked finally breaking the silence that had since entered the room at the close of his tale.

Starfire leaned farther over the back of the couch and gestured to Raven. Cyborg had to try very hard to concentrate on her face and not to stare at what she was so blatantly exposing by her posture. "Raven," she stated authoritatively, "you and Ted go see if you can dig up some spells or enchantments of some sort that will send these two back to their own world," at her mention of his name, Ted popped back into view. Cyborg could tell that he was obviously much more comfortable in her presence than any of the others. He reasoned that it may be a sign of the same link in this world that he could see between Robin and Starfire from his own. "Cy, can you hook Beast Boy up to your diagnostic machine and see if you can find any sort of chemical imbalance or other reading that could help us out?" Cy nodded once again, this time to Starfire. "Good. Cyborg, you and I will go check out the location at which you entered our world and see if there are any clues to anything there. Not that I've got my hopes up or anything, but it's our only lead at the moment. And BG? Can you hold down the fort girl?"

"You can count on me!" she squeaked as she popped up off of the couch and saluted.

"Good. Then Cy can we…" she continued, but was rudely interrupted by Beast Boy.

"HEY! Why do I always have to be the one to have the tests tested on! I mean, it's not fair! It's always, 'Beast Boy, do this…and Beast Boy do that… and Beast Boy we need you to be our guinea pig,'" which he illustrated by rapidly morphing into and out of the form of the well known rodent, "and I'm sick of it! Why can't Cyborg be your test subject? Huh? Huh?"

Starfire responded by marching over and sizing him up –which she could easily do because of her extra tall figure, "Because I said so. Besides, Cyborg's systems are designed to reset themselves in different climates, or in emergency situations such as this and there's no way that we could detect abnormalities in his system, so just suck it up and deal with it."

Upon saying this, she turned her head quickly to glance back at Cyborg and threw him a wink as though she were trying to trick Beast Boy, even though Cyborg knew that everything she'd just said was true. 'This chick knows her stuff and she's holding all of the cards,' he thought with a smirk, almost slightly turned on by the domineering manner in which she was carrying herself.

"Now, as I was saying…" Starfire continued, "Cy can we borrow the T-Car to get us out there faster?"

Cy's face lit up at this, "Hey girlie, why don't y'all take the 'Sandrunner'. It'll get ya out there quicker an' you can test out the new atm'sphere converter. -But sweetheart, shouldn' we all be gettin' some sleep right 'bout now anyhow?" To illustrate his point he directed her attention to the harvest moon already gleaming high in the night sky.

"Right, we should all get some rest," she stated this, almost as though she had thought of it herself. Then she turned her attention to Cyborg, "You can sleep in Cy's room. I know he's equipped with at least two of everything you'll need for the night."

"Sure as Texas chili'll burn a hole through a city boy's stomach!" Cy exclaimed with a grin and he led Cyborg out of the room where they continued their conversation about different conversion techniques and how adaptability can actually limit some components and blah, blah, blah…Beast Boy wasn't really listening. His only thoughts were concentrated on his well being as usual.

"So, where am I supposed to sleep then huh?"

Starfire glanced around the room and her eyes landed on Beast Girl, who on instinct glanced around the room as well, in hopes that Starfire truly meant to see someone else who just happened to be standing behind her, "You, can sleep in…"

"…in here! I'll sleep in here!" Beast Boy interjected quickly. "Just give me a pillow and I'll curl up on the couch and be just fine." He slipped into the form of a small puppy and hopped up onto a couch cushion just to show Starfire how serious he really was about not sleeping in a room with that girl.

As Raven, Ted and BG exited, Starfire just shrugged and passed him a throw pillow before yawning and heading off to bed herself.

Beast Boy closed his eyes tentatively and drifted off into a fairly restful sleep considering the situation. He wouldn't have slept so well had he noticed the small pair of eyes watching him intently from the corner.

As the sun peeked its ray's into the main room, it witnessed the eyes reappear and creep closer and closer to Beast Boy. Soon they were inches away from his own, with only one purpose behind them…

"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!"

"Yeeeeaaaaaaahhh!" Beast Boy squealed as his own eyes bolted open and found themselves staring into a pair of perky, wide awake, expectant one's. He would have fallen off of the couch had she not parked herself dead on top of him allowing him no room to move.

"Why aren't you up yet?" she pondered, not really caring for an answer.

"Dude! Get off of me!" he yelled adamantly, shoving her to the floor.

"Ow!" She rubbed her elbow in pain and looked up at him, on the verge of tears, "You didn't have to do that you know!"

Finally gathering his senses and waking slightly, Beast Boy apologized, "Hey, look. I'm sorry. You just scared the bajeezus out of me! Are you okay?" She pulled away and cradled her arm. "Look, let me see that. Maybe I can fix it for you. I don't want you to be mad at me."

She popped up off the floor, and turned to him, flashing a mischievous smile. "Psyche!" she cried as she ran off toward the exit giggling.

Beast Boy looked shocked but quickly recuperated and responded with the only weapon he had: the throw pillow -which he quickly launched across the room at her. "I will so get you!"

"Everyone remember their assignments?" Starfire asked an hour later to her teammates who had congregated in the main hall. They all nodded in agreement except Beast Boy who only half nodded, as he was keeping one eye trained on Beast Girl at all times, -that, and he still was not looking forward to becoming 'Test Subject A'. "All right then. Let's move!"

At her command, they set out on their designated missions, Raven flinging her cape around her body as she turned to leave the room, dragging Ted behind her, Cy hauling a disheartened BB off to the testing facility, BG bounding out of the room as if someone had told her there would be ice cream sundaes waiting for her in the control room, and Starfire flicking her head to the side in a gesture designed to make Cyborg follow in compliance, though all he could do was stare at her now exposed neck.

Starfire led Cyborg back to the shop where she grabbed two helmets from the wall and threw one to him before shoving hers over her head and flipping up the visor. She then pulled out what looked to him like a motorized scooter with no wheels. "How's this thing going to work?" he asked disapprovingly.

"Like this," she said, expertly mounting the board and grasping the handles. "You better hang on real tight boy. Wouldn't want you to get dented or something," she stated almost mockingly as he hopped on behind her. He barely had time to throw his arms around her tiny waist before she turned the handle forward and threw her foot back, igniting the engine, lifting the board off of the ground and sending the Sandrunner hurtling forward. Cyborg only had time to freak out for one split second as they sped through the slit of an exit and out into the city.

They were traveling at speeds Cyborg had barely seen his T-ship do in space, so he had just mere moments before yelling at Starfire to stop. And actually, he ended up being grateful for her advice to hold tight because the jolt upon stopping caused him to slide sideways, leaving only his grip on her to keep himself steady. He yanked off his helmet and let out a sigh of relief. Starfire dismounted and whipped off her helmet as well, causing her glistening red hair to cascade down her face and shoulders randomly before she shook it back out of her eyes. "I warned you," she stated matter of factly.

"Yeah, I know," he said dropping his head a bit, "I gotta learn to trust you more. It's just that…you're so different from my Starfire back home. She doesn't know the ins and outs of things like you do."

She smiled at this, taking it as a compliment and stepped out into the 'crash site', "Now, lets see what we can find."

They searched for about an hour, sectioning off the places on which any land had been disrupted, but just as Starfire had expected, they found nothing of value. "Let's head back and see if the others found anything," she said finally, sounding to him as if she had somehow failed him miserably, before once again slipping on her helmet and situating herself on the Sandrunner. Cyborg shook his head in wonder at the level of perfection that she seemed to always wish to accomplish, even when it wasn't within her grasp. 'Gosh that girl just drives me crazy. --Cyborg, you stop that now. Just remember your sweet little Starfire back home, worrying her head off about you and not this vixen version and you'll be just fine,' he thought as he climbed on behind her –just before catching a glimpse of her black satin thong as she bent forward to adjust the gear. 'Oh, lord have mercy.'

Hehehehe…
