A Bird's Reality

Authors note: First chapter was alright and quick but hopefully the next few chapters should be better. Left Robin thinking about his date, now let's see how it goes.

Chapter 2: A bird's first date.

This time our fearless leader got an early start by waking up before anyone else and deciding to make breakfast. The thought of Starfire accepting his offer was so appealing to him that he wanted to do something nice for everyone. "Be yourself, just be you and everything's going to be fine." He kept thinking of Raven's words to himself over and over and hoping it would work.

Just as he got finished the first person that entered the kitchen surprised was Raven, she knew exactly what was going through his little mind. She didn't say a thing until she seen her favorite mug filled with her herbal tea just the way she liked it. "Damn Robin, I know you're excited about your date with Star, but did you really have to go through all this?" Raven asked blankly. "Of course not, but I wanted to do something nice for all the team's hard work." She rolled her eyes knowing that the breakfast was just to impress the princess of course, but she played along.

Everyone else came in at the same time smelling the goodness of the fresh cooked breakfast that beheld them, even BB was surprised when he saw his section of tofu fixed especially for him, he almost cried. "Oh Robin! You made the breakfast all by yourself for us to eat!" he heard his princess behind him giving him the biggest hug he could ever imagine.

As they ate he kept glancing at Starfire trying to find the right words. "Be yourself, be you." He took a quick glance at Raven who happened to be glancing back at him, motioning him to make his move. Surprised at what Raven was trying to make him do he let out a quick laugh at which everyone looked at him. Looking around surprisingly he finally said, "Um…Starfire, can I talk to you privately?" "Why yes Robin."

"Star…I wanted to ask you something." "What ever could it be that you are wishing to ask?" she said to him. He took her hand and looked her straight in her emerald eyes and took a deep breath. "Star…will you…go on a date with me?" "Excuse me friend Robin, but go with you where?" "On a date?" "Um…a what?" "Ahh!On a DATE!" he yelled at the top of his lungs once again while hearing a "we heard you" come from the kitchen. "Of course I'll go on this date with you Robin." He saw how happy she looked and the big blush she carried on her face. "Alright, how about 7:00 tonight?" he suggested and she happily agreed to it, then they went their separate ways.

It was 6:47 that night and he was still getting ready for his date when he heard a knock on his door. "Robin, open up." Raven's voice echoed outside his door. He hurried and slipped on his pants to answer to the dark girl that stood in front of him, "So…may I help you?" he said slyly as she slipped into his room. "To tell you the truth, I don't need help with anything, you do." Looking at his suit, which was the colors of his uniform, she giggled to herself, "You might want to pick something that matches boy wonder." Blushing foolishly he changed what he was wearing after she left and gave him some pointers on how to treat the beautiful alien.

As he walked into the living room he saw Starfire waiting for him in the most beautiful pink spaghetti strap dress, with a slit on the right side. He knew right then and there that his life was going to be perfect and this fairy tale he was living was as real as it could get.

"So…how do you like the food Starfire?" he asked to break the silence between them. "Oh, it is most delightful Robin!" At least he knew she wasn't having a bad time with him, which lifted his spirits. As the dessert was being brought to them a song he heard before came on. "Star, after we have dessert, would you like to dance?" he finally asked her, "Oh yes I would!"

As they got on the dance floor he slid his arm around her waist and held her gently. Using his other hand to take her right hand into his. She also took the right to position herself by putting her hand on his shoulder and letting him take her other hand into his. They started to sway this way and that not letting each other go. To him it felt like they were the only two there, no one else, he thought of Raven's words again, "Be yourself, and everything's gonna be fine."

"Robin?" he heard Starfire say while laying her head upon his shoulder, "Yes?" "This is the best date I ever been on." Looking into her eyes once again he said, "Me too." Not knowing what was gonna happen next, he suddenly felt his hand upon her cheek and she didn't dare think to remove it when all of a sudden she felt her soft lips against his. Right then and there she too knew she was living in a fairy tale and found her knight in shining armor.

Author's note: I really don't like the fact of robin/starfire but hey I got to deal with it.
