REVIEWS:
Jackdaw: Thanks, I appreciate your poll answer.
FallingDarkAngel: LONG REVIEWS MAKE ME FEEL HAPPY AND FUZZY! H...scared me...but I'm glad your so...enthusiastic?...lol. Haha, 'thats right, fear the monkeys' thats hilarious! Your plan...is...so...awesome! LETS DO IT! My plan for Terra is:
Plan: Bald and Burn
We will need the following:
-one flame thrower -a flyswatter -spandex, (preferably robin's bright green spandex )- piano wire -whaving cream -razor - one gallon of ice cream -a thumb tack -and of course, a video camera...MWAHAHA!
What we do: First, we lead drag her by the hair, over to a doorway, and leave her there. When she get's up, she will see the ice cream. good. She will walk to the ice cream, being the nasty eating machine she is, and trip over piano wire and land with her hands out streched, trying to stop herself. She will slam her hands on the ground, stabbing a thumb tack into her left hand and scream in pain, setting off a voice activated motion censored flyswatter to come and start to wack her. (suffer the flyswatters...) She will try and run away, and fall into a deep hole, bouncing back up from the spandex stretched across the hole, and land saftly on the ground. She will most likely be very freaked out and paranoid, and walk very fast, tripping over MORE PIANO WIRE! and falling, this time her hands away, and her head smalling into a pile of shaving cream. A motion censored razor will be released and her head will be completely SHAVEN. MWAHAHA! when she gets up, she will be completely hit with a flame thrower and destroyed...are we forgetting something? The video camera? don't worry, we'll use it...TO BROADCAST THE WHOLE THING, LIVE! You like? lol.
Gladdecease: spandex is the reason there are things wrong with the world...i don't know how...but I'm pretty sure its right... lol. Yeah, its pointless to date, i think, when you can't drive, I mean honestly! Say you're going to the movies... and you need to get picked up... imagine what he/she would said: "Yeah, so my mom will pick you up..." do you have any idea how awkward that would be! awkwardness frightens me... And i agree with you. dating is pointless at this age. let it burn. (lol) Thanks for the cyborg suggestions, let the cy/bee pairing emerge! leaving Raven and Star left to deal and fight their battles...alone. Thanks for reviewing!
starrob: would you seriously cry forever? I updated for you! Thanks for answering my poll!
Metalligoth: 'Kay, suggest any particular songs? I'm always up for suggestions, but it's funny. Your review was seriously r-rated, and this review above was totally like: "You swear a little too much, but i like it". Hmmm, if I post yours up, will she/he get all weird about it? Oh well, you suggested first! Okay, are you saying my chapters should have some sort of song for each one? Name some songs, and maybe more suggestions, and I'll post them up, if I think they would go with the chapter. Honestly, when I get money, I'll be sure to buy those C.D's. Yes, Robin is indeed a cocksucker. I have no idea why I still keep him in the story...oh wait, yeah I do, I love drama. Thanks for the review! Be sure to give me the lists of songs, if you want me to use your idea!
dramaelfie: Um, thanks for being honest, but I don't think you want to continue reading if you don't like the swearing. I'll try and tone it down though! Thanks for telling me, I didn't know.
starfirelynn69: You know the grey words always at the bottom of each summary of each story? The words that tell you that this is a drama, or romance, or humor, or action/adventure? Thats what genre is! I was a little offended by your statement, how you said that gay marrage disgusts you...can you tell me why? I support it, and I understand that it is your opnion, but I would be grateful to know why it disgusts you. Because that sorta made me upset. But yes, you may kill sandra when you are done...after everyone ELSE has their turn. (stares in fright at the angry sandra-hating reviewers)
StarfireRobin4ever: ha, did sandra's head really taste like preppy bith? HA! Thanks, I really don't want it...but I sorta need it for the story... you really chose E? oh! That is so nice! I ALMOST MADE SOMEONE CRY! ohhh the power...lol. Thanks for reviewing! Please continue, your reviews I always look forward to!
Angelina Johnson: Yes, I know A was good! Sorry, error. I mean A, G. Thanks for answering the poll! You got your penname form Harry Potter, didn't you? (sorry, but i was wondering before and it was driving me mad! So i looked it up, and no i am not a harry potter freak) Thanks for reviewing!
Stargirl1066lkl: F? right. I'll be sure to do that then. Make sure that your hit list and torturing is done while being video taped, I want to watch! (lol)
Ldy-Flor: hello again! I wonder if I can do weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! did it show up? hmmm, we shall soon see.

I read it. it rocked. thanks for reviewing!
Brazen Blueberry: I love your penname! Is this honestly one of the best stories you have ever read? Naaa. I doubt it, read some of the stories listed in my favorites, and maybe you'll change your mind. But I love the flattery! (blushes) Robin is indeed a prick. (shoots rubber band at robin) SOAK UP THE PAIN, BOY WONDER! (Robin is hit, and falls to the floor and starts to sob)
RedX's Girlfriend: YOU CREEPY THING, STOP REVIEWING! (lol) RedX won't insult you (holds RedX's mouth shut as he starts to shout loud...rather rude things in your direction)
RedX: BUT SHE'S CREEPY!
Rose: sigh no she's not.
RedX: is she hot? (is smacked by Mad Mod and Starfire)
Rose:...(is being glared at visciously by Mad Mod and Starfire)...no...right? (they both nod, and put their weapons away)
RedX:...what about this Lisa?
Rose: don't go there.
Molly: LISA! WHAT! NO, REDX! PLEASE, I AM NO UN-HOT!
RedX: I am so wanted.
Rose: (glare)
Molly: so are so cute!
Rose: (muffles laughter as RedX grins)
Starfire: (shoots starbolts at Molly who runs away in fear, and Mad Mod begins to throws bombs at her and Molly runs away screaming)
RedX: I am SO wanted.
Rose: (shoves him off his seat)
RedX: ow! (curls up on floor and begins to sob)
Rose: soak up the pain! (shoots small rubber bands at him, and he starts to wimper)
Chapter Five: Happiness Doesn't Hide Sorrow
The titans stood in shock as Starfire left the room. Starfire had a brother? He died? Raven frowned, 'Why didn't I know this? I can sense sadness... was this something Starfire was hiding? Why would she hide this?'
Beastboy shifted on the couch, shaking Terra off him, who was still clinging to his chest and crying softly and obviously faking. "Uh...did anyone know this?" he asked, and watched all the titans shake their head no.
"What's the big deal, I mean, Robin's parents died in front of him! Her brother died. She should get over it, and not act so moody." replied Sandra, rolling her eyes. 'All that bitch wants is attention'
Robin gazed fondly at her, "Sandra's right, Starfire's behavior is no excuse for what she did. I think she was getting mad for no reason."
It was Raven's turn to roll her eyes, "Robin, I honestly am sorry that your parents died, but don't gloat about it."
"You think it's something I'm proud of!" snapped Robin, very touchy on the subject.
"No, but I think you are using it as an advantage, boy 'wonder'. Starfire's brother died, and I'm guessing she was close to him. You indicated that Cyborg was acting like her older brother, in a way as though it was stupid! Robin, you of all people should understand what it is liketo loose a brother. ReallyRobin, don't be so insensitive. You know you should apologize, and I'm going to make this pretty simple. If you don't apologize, expect death," Raven's eyes narrowed and she advanced on Robin gliding slowly towards him, "very soon..."
Sandra stepped protectively in front of Robin, and glared at Raven, but Robin stepped forward. "Your right, Raven, I should go apologize to Starfire," and walked away, then quickly glanced back, "And Raven?"
"Yeah?" she growled.
"I'm really sorry for what I said, I really am." he apologized, looking guilty.
Beastboy smiled at him, and Raven looked shocked. "You are...forgiven, I guess. Go apologize," she ordered, but nonetheless looked happier.
Sandra's eyes widened and she frowned unhappily. She and Terra looked at each other and both left to go to their rooms, sulking and rolling their eyes, whispering to each other, and soonstarted to giggle and the words 'Half demon, alien, bitch, and ugly' were heard as they walked away.
Raven grimanced. How the hell she ended up living with to usless preppy bitches...she didn't know. At least there was Beastboy and Starfire, or she would probably loose her mind. She floated towards her room to endure another long afternoon of meditating and controlling her emotions, but was stopped by Beastboy who said,"Hey, Raven?"
She looked back at him, surprised. "Yeah what?"
Beastboy squirmed uncomfortably, "Hey, are you okay? I mean...you were limping when you walked in, and I noticed some cuts on your legs, did Terra do that to you?"
Raven nearly smiled at his concern. "Most of my major wounds I healed, this I can deal with until I get more energy and control over my emotions."
"I can help, I mean, I can treat them...if you would like...I mean...I know sort of...how to bandage wounds...and stuff," he stammered.
Raven blushed, 'He really does care, doesn't he?' "Sure Beastboy, thank you."
He beamed and ran to get the first aid kit, as Raven made herself comfortable on the couch.'Wait...what am I doing? He's going to see these wounds and freak out! He's going to think we were in some sort of death match! ...at least he'll know the truth...right?He should see Terra for who she really is, not just some blond skank. Honestly, what does he see in her? What does Robin see in Sandra?Makes me sick, watching them, Starfire actually made Robin seem like a nice guy when they used to hang out...well,Starfire does that with most people. Heck, she could date Slade, and we probably wouldn't hate him! Ha, Starfire and Slade...wait...no,ew. Never mind. (A/N:couldn't resist, sorry)Oh, here comes Beastboy, just act natural, don't break things, don't break things, damn he looks hot, DON'T BREAK THINGS, DON'T BREAK THINGS...' (A/N: yeah, Raven sounded OOC, sorry about that, I'll try to not do that)
"Hey Raven, now let's see those wounds!" said Beastboy eagerly.
"Yeah.." she said, and carefully took off her cape and rolled up the sleves of her leotard, wincing in slight pain and at the look Beastboy had on his face.
"Oh my god..." he breathed, her wounds werenumerous andbloody. Her arms were covered in cuts and there was a large cut across her leg, going from the heel to nearlyup to her thigh. Her right arm looked purple and blue, with many bruises and looking slightly misplaced. She watched his face go from horror to anger.
"She did this to you?" he nearly yelled. "Terra did this? I don't believe it!"
"Beastboy, calm down." said Raven softly, although enjoying his anger to Terra.
"No! This is just...like Cyborg said, SICK!" he ranted. "And we thought Terra and Sandra had it bad, oh my god! They didn't have anything like this! We got to show Robin, now!"
"Beastboy, no. Watch." Raven ordered, and summoned as much energy she could and placed her right hand on her leg, and within seconds, the leg shimmered brightly and died down to reveling a her bare and pale leg un-touched and fully healed, with no scar. She sat back on the couch and breathed deeply. That took lots of energy, and she needed a nap, desperately.
"Whoa..." was all Beastboy could say, "That was really cool, I didn't know you could do that!" he said, grinning.
She smiled slightly. "Yeah, I can heal. How do think I am able to move after battles? I heal myself." she explained.
"Wow, that's awesome, Raven!" said Beastboy. "You look pale though, are you getting sick again?" he asked, his concern coming back.
"No, I'm just...tired," she said softly and yawned.
"Want to sleep here?" he asked, but she had already collapsed onto the couch and deeply dreaming and smiling. He smiled softly, and got a blanket and pillow and set her up comfortably and sat next to her, reading his usual 'Moped Dreams', circling his favorite mopeds, and their costs and occasionally looking at Raven and smiling at her soft breathing.
With Starfire:
"I walk a lonely road
The only road that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone"
Starfire sighed deeply. The song playing on the radio matched almost exactly how she felt. Only it didn't mention hurt, misery, or feeling cold. She shivered and wrapped her blanket tighter around her. She felt a tear slide down her cheek, and furiously wiped it away.
'Stop crying you stupid girl, you are only allowing Sandra to win... oh god, I sound like Blackfire...' thought Starfire and grimanced. Why couldn't she choose who to like? Why did it have to be Robin? 'So why do I like him?' she thought.
'Well let me see...he's smart, and handsom, and talented, and determined...' Starfire continued and slipped into a dreamy and warm state, picturing Robin and her together and dreaming of him, 'He is also honest and caring, he is hard working, and passionate when fighting, he usually knows the best things to say...and I love him.' Starfire sat up suddenly and gasped.
She loved Robin. She loved him so much, it hurt... and he didn't love her... she let out a soft cry of anguish and got up. Her body filled with pain and sorrow. Shecouldn't describe it, her body felt cold and clammy, and felt as though she would faint. She couldn't think straight, and she felt as though she could throw up and the pain was rising from her chest to throughout her body and she felt pain everywhere.Starfire began tofrantically searched for something to relieve the pain, anything to relive pain!
She went into the medicine cabinent and looked and read the labels on the bottles, and found a small knife sitting at the bottom of the cabinent.. An idea suddenly flashed into her head and she smiled for a brief moment, then screamed and threw the knife on the ground and ran out of her bathroom, locking the door behind her.
'What was I thinking! No, I will never do that, that will just bring more pain...' she told herself, 'I could never leave Raven, she needs me, she can't fight Terra and Sandra on her own! And Silkie needs me, and what about Galfore? Starfire, you selfish girl, never think like that again!' she ordered herself and sighed deeply.
She felt slightly better, and changed from her uniform into blue stetchy soft pants, and wore a yellow sweater. She took her favorite book from the shelf and settled herself near the window and started to read 'The Hobbit' to make her feel better.
A few minutes later, she heard footsteps from down the hall and froze. 'Oh please be Raven or Cyborg,' she prayed, but no such luck.
"Hey Star, can I come in?" came Robin's voice from outside.
Starfire flinched, she didn't want to talk to him...he'd ask about her brother...
"Hey Star, you there?" called Robin, sounding a little worried.
Starfire glanced at the door, and took a deep breath and answered back. "Yes, what is it you want?"
Robin breathed a sigh of relief. "To come in, I want to talk to you."
Starfire frowned, she didn't wish to talk to him, but sighed and answered, "Very well." and got up to open the door for him. "Yes?" she asked, not allowing him to enter her room.
"Um, are you going to leave me out here?" he asked, feeling awkward. "Can we sit down?"
"Yes, if you like." she answered shortly, slightly resembling Raven's monotone-like voice.
Robin took a deep breath and began to talk. "Listen Starfire, I wanted to apologize," he began. "I wasn't being fair and I should of been nicer to you." he answered. "But I can understand how you feel, I mean, my brother died too, and in front of me. Same with my parents, but I know loosing a brother is just as bad, I'm sorry." he said with difficutly, "Try to understand though, you must try to get along with your team mates, and you can't attack them," Robin explained, being fully aware that Starfire knew to not attack a team mate, and that his words were as useful as a textbook in Beastboy's room.
Starfire was silent for a while, then finally spoke. "I am sorry for your family. I understand too," she answered.
Robin looked surprised, "Yes, your brother died, I'm real sorry Star, but-" he was cut off.
"You misunderstand me Robin," she interrupted. "My family too perished in front of me, you are not alone." she said, forcing a comforting smile.
Robin sat in shock. Starfire? The happy bubbly alien? Watched her parents die? No way, she couldn't of, she was acted too...unaffected.. happy
Starfire must of read his thoughts, "I know it may not seem so Robin, but my family did die. Royalty is always in danger on my planet, and it is not common for whole families to be slaughtered." she said almost bitterly. "Our enemies know who to attack to weaken our planet, and unfortunatelymy family was attacked when our enemies from the south side of the galaxy came.My entire family was captured, and only Blackfire and Isurvived. Webarely escaped from Tamaran, and agreed to travel to different planets to try and loose the people trying to follow us. Galfore and our armiesfought off the enemies, and eventually Blackfire and I were able to return, but my sister was not the same person when I returned..."
It was Robin's turn to apologize. "Starfire, I am so sorry, I had no idea."
Starfire gave him a small smile. "My father always told me to try and find the best in people, and to try and stay happy, no matter how bad things seemed."
Robin looked sad, "You can't hide sadness Starfire," he answered. "You need to let it out,"
Starfire's eyes grew dark and cloudy, glowing green, and jerked towards Robin suddenly and angrilly snapped, "Watch me!"She gasped at her mean remark and her eyes captured their usual brightness again, and filled with tears. "Robin, I am so sorry," she cried, and Robin watched her and wrapped his arms around her, hugging heras she started to sob and cry for all the sadness she had been holding in for so long...
