Chapter Six: An Unexpected New Friend

Starfire stopped crying, and sat up as Robin wiped her tears away with his finger. "You okay, Star?" he asked.

"Yes, I feel better," she answered, still feeling sad, but happy to be with Robin and in his arms for once. "I believe you were right... I feel..."

Robin interrupted, "As though you just got a lot of your chest?" he offered.

Starfire's eyes widened. "Yes, exactly, Robin, how do you know?"

Robin smiled a little, slightly curving his lips upward, "Let's just say I've experienced it before,"

"Have you?" asked Starfire, "What happened?" she asked.

Robin smiled a little bit, happy to have Starfire back as his friend, and told her the story of how Batman taught him how it was okay to let your feelings out. Starfire was attentive during the whole thing, laughed at appropriate parts and her eyes welled up with tears during the intense and dramatic parts, and by the time he was finished, he was positive she had forgiven him and they were still friends.

"Yeah, so that's sort of what happened to me," finished Robin.

They were silent a moment, and Robin felt peaceful, and happy…glad to be able to trust someone with his past, and very happy that Starfire wasn't pressing him for details, as most people were. She understood how it felt….finally…someone understood. Robin never felt so not alone and comforted about his tragic past until then.

"Thanks for listening Starfire…" he whispered, "I am so sorry; I haven't been acting nice to you lately,"

"You are most forgiven…but, Robin, do you miss your family?" she asked.

Robin was silent, and Starfire thought she had said something wrong, "I apologize, it is not my business," she said quietly.

"No Star, it's okay." answered Robin, "Yes, I do miss my family… every day, every hour of my life, I miss them," he confessed.

Starfire looked up into his eyes, "I did not know, you seem so much happier than sad," explained Starfire.

"You can't hide sorrow, Starfire, it has to be let out," he repeated. "If you don't, you are wearing a cover to hide it… a shield…a…" Robin tried to explain.

"A mask?" offered Starfire.

Robin looked surprised, then answered, "…Yeah, I guess... a mask,"

Starfire nodded, "And is mine gone?" she asked, staring into his eyes.

Robin looked into her eyes as well, "….yeah, it's gone…" he smiled and leaned forward to…

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!" rang the alarm, surprising Robin as he jerked away from Starfire and ran to the Common room, greeting the rest of the titans as they were all gathered around the computer.

"What's the trouble?" asked Robin urgently.

Raven looked annoyed, as did Cyborg but Beastboy looked confused, and Terra and Sandra looked happy.

"No trouble," said Cyborg, looking furious.

"But an invitation," said Raven, as she rolled her eyes.

"Huh?" asked Robin in confusion.

"Robin, we've all been invited to a party hosted by the mayor!" shrieked Sandra, happily.

"What?" asked Robin, still confused.

"Here," said Raven as she thrust a piece of paper to Robin and Starfire, who leaned over and read the fancy hand writing…

Dear Teen Titans,

You are most warmly invited to the Jump City 'City Hall' Party in honor of the good deeds you have done and the lives you have saved. We citizens are most grateful for your protection and we wish to welcome your newest member Wondergirl. You are expected to be there, since you are the guests of honor, and we also suggest that you dress for the occasion, fancy. Please do not arrive in uniform. The party will be held on Friday, November 23, and will begin at precisely 9:00. We hope to see you there, and you are also expected to bring dates.

Sincerely,

Mayor Humphrey Sneeb

Robin and Starfire looked up from the invitation, Robin looking horrified and Starfire looking slightly excited.

"That alarm is for EMERGENCIES ONLY!" ranted Cyborg, as he stormed around the room in rage.

"How fun this will be!" she exclaimed, "But please tell me, what are dates? We are expected to bring fruit?"

Terra and Sandra laughed rudely and Raven glared daggers at them, and they immediately shut up. Beastboy laughed a bit, "No Star, dates are bringing someone to any sort of occasion and usually it's a romantic sort of thing." He explained.

"Oh," said Starfire, and her face fell. "Must we?"

Cyborg nodded his head, "I wouldn't worry about you, Starfire." Robin stared at Cyborg in slight suspicion.

"Oh, for Christ's sake, Robin!" groaned Cyborg. (A/N: Sorry for using 'Christ,' I didn't mean to offend anyone)

"Well that's settled," said Robin, "We're all going!" he said, and Raven's eye twitched.

"Does that include me?" she nearly moaned.

"Yes, of course!" he said absentmindedly.

Raven scowled and transported back into her room to meditate and Terra and Sandra immediately left to go discuss what they were going to wear. Cyborg said something about calling Bee, and Beastboy also left to spy on him, leaving Starfire and Robin alone.

"Um, Robin?" Starfire asked awkwardly, "Will you go with me to this party?"

Robin looked surprised, 'What do I do?' he thought frantically.

'You say yes, dumbass.

I do?

Duh!

But why, shouldn't I go with Sandra?

Did she ask you?

No… but-

But nothing, who cares about Sandra, you love Starfire.

WHAT? Are you out of your mind?

No, I am merely a subconscious voice inside your head battling over one opinion over another. You are only trying to decide what to do, so I have no identity, technically.

Uh-huh…you got a name?

Some people call me George.

Okay George, what should I do?

Well, I vote go with Starfire.

Why? I don't think I love her.

Do you really? My oh my, how clueless we truly are.

Not helping George.

You should also know that the first sign of insanity is talking to yourself, and not to mention, naming yourself.

OH, HECK WITH THIS!'

Robin blinked and looked back into Starfire's hopeful face. "I'm sorry Starfire, I'm going with Sandra, she asked first," he lied, and felt guilt stab him in the chest as Starfire's face fell and her eyes lost their happy tone to them.

"I'm really sorry," he apologized, looking sad.

"It's okay! It's not a problem…" she answered, looking as though she would cry, "I think I will go and cleanse myself…" she said, making up the first excuse that came to her mind, and floated out of the room, but leaned against the hallway wall, near the Common room and sat down, burying her face into her knees.

Robin sat down on the sofa and groaned. 'What did I do?' he thought miserably, 'Shut up George' he commanded and got up surprised to see Sandra walk in from the kitchen, as she had been hiding, and was smirking.

"Well Boy Wonder, I hear you rejected the happy alien," she grinned, "But I am confused, Robin, I did not ask you. Aren't you being a little too overconfident?" she asked, licking her lips seductively.

Starfire gasped, and felt her heart stop, 'He lied to me? …Of course he did, why am I surprised?' But despite her attempts of being strong and holding tears in, they slipped and she covered her mouth to muffle her sobs. But she continued to watch…

Robin's male instincts kicked in and he grinned, "But you were going to ask me, right?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Sandra winked at him and floated on her back in the air, "…Maybe, why, what would be your answer?" she asked.

Robin smirked, "Why don't you ask, and find out?"

"No fair," pouted Sandra, "Tell me,"

Robin laughed at her frustration, "You'll know if you ask!"

Sandra laughed, and tried to act serious, "Tell me, or else!"

Robin smirked, "Or else what? Just ask, then you'll know!"

She looked thoughtful for a moment, then set herself onto the ground and walked towards Robin. "Okay, Wonder Boy," she said in a dangerous voice, and pushed him down onto the couch on his back and climbed onto his body, her legs spiraled across his chest, moved her body slowly down until she could feel his breath on her neck, and kissed him passionately on the lips.

She lifted her mouth off to breathe, and then whispered into his ear, "Want to go to the party with me?"

Starfire looked as though she was going to explode with anger as she watched them in pure misery and jealousy. She also felt anger…for not just Sandra, but for Robin as well.

He lied to her… and what's more, he didn't love her. She couldn't watch anymore… it was too painful.

She felt more tears spill out of her eyes, and she raced to her room, where she sobbed and sobbed in misery and anger.

Meanwhile, Robin was grinning like a pervert, underneath Sandra, and smirked. "Yeah, why not?" (A/N: Anyone who wants to attack Robin in the next chapter, I will allow you to be in a mob of Robin-haters… and I'm being serious. ATTACK THE ASSHOLE!)

Sandra lifted herself off him and grinned, "Okay then," and blew him a kiss as she walked out of the room smoothly… then raced to Terra's room as soon as she left The Common Room, spazzing like an idiot and squealing the entire way.


An hour later, the alarm went off again, and all the titans raced to The Common Room.

"Another party?" muttered Raven.

"No, we've got major attacks on Jump City," replied Cyborg seriously. "We have two robbers at the bank, Dr, Light attacking the mall, Control Freak at the move theatre, Cinderblock off of highway 35 East, and RedX at the museum.

"Whoa…" was all Beastboy could say.

"Sounds like a good day for criminals," muttered Raven.

"Okay Team, here's what we'll do. Raven, you'll take Dr. Light," Robin ordered.

"Looking forward to it," she answered sarcastically.

"Beastboy, you'll take Control Freak," ordered Robin.

"Okay, dude." Said Beastboy, and he and Raven left to go fight the villains.

"Cyborg and Terra, you'll take Cinderblock." Said Robin.

"Were on it," yelled Cyborg as he and Terra raced to the T-car.

"Sandra and Starfire, you'll go and fight the robbers, I'll handle RedX," ordered Robin once again.

"No, Robin, come with me, I feel safer with you." Pleaded Sandra, not pleased about working with Starfire, who remained silent, feeling depressed, and not really listening.

"Fine," smiled Robin, giving in, "But Starfire, can you handle RedX?" asked Robin.

"I will be fine." Said Starfire softly. "Go ahead,"

"Okay, good luck!" he called and raced to the bank on his R-cycle, with Sandra on his back seat, even though she could fly. (Figures…)

Dr. Light was no problem for Raven; he got one look from her, and fell to his knees begging for mercy. It took no more than five minutes, and Raven left to go to her favorite poetry café, Misunderstood and almost smiled as she spent the rest of the evening in blisswith tranquil music and poetry readings, sipping mint tea in silence.

Beastboy on the other hand had difficulty with Control Freak, who had managed to let out the all the evil characters from Lord of the Rings, and caused Beastboy to spend the rest of the evening attempting to destroy the ring. Finally, Beastboy found it, and destroyed it… only to find out that it was the wrong ring and he owed a man a new wedding ring….

Finally he ended it when he managed grab Control Freak's remote and stomp on it flat, glaring at him and snapped, "I'm so not paying for that wedding ring, dude!"

Terra and Cyborg had no difficulty whatsoever at stopping Cinderblock, when Terra discovered that he was a rock, and split him in two. Cyborg had convinced her to go to a car show with him and show off the T-car, and spent the rest of the night laughing at the simpler cars, who were nothing like the 'one and only T-car!' and got themselves kicked out.

Sandra and Robin basically showed up at the bank, dodged a few bullets, and ended the fight when Robin threw a bird-a-rang at one of the robbers, who made a big deal out of it and threw himself onto the ground sobbing, while his partner looked extremely embarrassed and mildly horrified. It didn't even take a half an hour, and Sandra dragged Robin to the movies with her for the rest of the night.

Starfire, on the other hand, barely had the strength to arrive at the museum. She floated in and spotted RedX throwing valuable diamonds into a bag. She knew he was smirking, despite the mask.

"Those diamonds do not belong to you!" she ordered, "Surrender them, and leave, I do not wish to fight you!"

RedX looked thoughtful for a moment, then answered, "No, I don't think I will…" and broke into a run setting up his traps along the way, and dodging starbolts until he reached the exit.

Starfire dodged flying X's and managed to not get slammed with a red gooey substance, the same horrible fate Beastboy experienced. She flew outside the door, but RedX was no where to be seen. She searched frantically around the building, and looked up and saw him leaping across a building to another.

Starfire flew up and raced towards him, hitting him with starbolts and attempting to hit him with her eye beams, but he dodged them as well. He stopped suddenly, and turned around, and shot Starfire with fiery red X, strapping it around her arms, and immobilizing her for the moment.

Starfire, though not able to use starbolts, shot the bag out of his hands with her eye beams, scattering the diamonds all about the roof of the building. She felt her strength return and burst out of the X bounding her arms together, and flew to RedX, kicking him in the face and shot an eye beam into his chest.

"Fine, take your prize, babe," he spat, thrown against the wall and wincing in pain, "But your boyfriend owes me a belt," he said and started to sprint away.

"He's not my boyfriend…." She whispered quietly, then felt the rage from today, and yesterday well up inside her as she said louder, "He is NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Starfire yelled and hurled a bright starbolt at RedX who was caught off guard and thrown off the building, screaming…

Starfire laughed for a moment, then screamed in horror and fled to the side of the building at which RedX fell and flew off towards him. She caught him just before he hit the ground, and was unconscious. (RedX was unconscious, not Starfire)

Starfire, not knowing what to do, flew back to titan's tower, carrying RedX, and set him down on her bed.


"Oh please don't be dead!"Starfire whispered frantically, and rushed to get bandages and medicine for his wounds inside the infirmary.

When she came back, she propped him up against a pillow, and carefully peeled the uniform off his chest, and gazed miserably at the purple and black bruises and cuts she had given him.

"Please…please don't be dead," she murmured, and pressed her ear to his chest… Very faintly, she heard… 'Thump, thump, thump…' and she smiled happily.

"You are not dead!" she cried happily and almost hugged him. "Now I must fix you," she said seriously, and wrapped many bandages around his chest and treated his cuts.

She noticed a rather deep cut at the side of his shoulder, and reached over him for a bandage, when his hand shot up suddenly, and pulled her slightly closer to him, so he could see her eyes.

He opened his eyes repeatedly and looked up into Star's beautiful face and asked softly… "Are you an…angel?" he asked, half dreaming.

Starfire blushed and shook her head, "I am so sorry, RedX, I have injured you greatly, and almost killed you…"

"Oh it's you…" RedX panicked as he remembered the incident, and got off her bed in a flash.

"…wait, let me get this straight…your… helping me?" he asked, lifting his hands to his face suddenly, "And you didn't take off my mask…why?"

Starfire was silent, "You can take off the mask when you are ready to," she answered, "And yes, I healed you, I apologize for what I did… it was inhuman and cruel,"

RedX stared at Starfire, "Not inhuman, but yes, cruel, and painful…" he muttered, as he pressed his hand on his chest and winced at the reaction.

"What happened to you?" he asked seriously, looking into her eyes, noticing how dull and sad they were, unlike her old bright and happy ones, even when in battle. "I mean… what did they do to you… to set you off like that? It was a little scary…"

"You never knew what I was like in the first place," she snapped in annoyance, "How do you expect I am different?" she asked.

RedX looked away, "Your right, your right! But you definitely are different. Stronger and not as happy." He remarked, "I'm guessing it has something to do with Robin? Told you, you should of gone out with me!" he shook his head, smirking a bit.

Starfire closed her eyes as tight as she could and tried to think of anything to make her happier. She couldn't think of one thing. "Please!" she thrust the bag of diamonds she had intended to hide and return to the museum at RedX, "Please take what you desire… but please leave me alone, please…" she whispered, her tears spilling over her cheeks, soaking her skin. "Please, you are healed… just leave me alone!" she cried, and broke down into sobs, for the umpteenth time.

RedX looked awkward, "Something you want to tell me, cutie?" he asked, feeling pity for the sobbing alien, "Did…uh… Robin forget your anniversary of something?"

Starfire looked at him in slight confusion, wiping the tears from her face, "I am not sure what this…anniversary is, is it some sort of ritual?"

RedX looked amused, and almost burst out laughing, "Are you serious?" and stopped laughing as he saw her sad and embarrassed face, "Not a big deal, but now I'm interested, what happened?"

"Why should I tell you? You are nothing but a criminal!" she said, her caution rising.

RedX's face turned hot under the mask, and he glared angrily, "Yeah, so? Criminals are humans too, did you ever think that maybe we steal and break into things for a reason? Maybe we have families to take care of, maybe it's the only job we have!" he snapped, "And besides, I'm not RedX now! I'm trying to help you!"

Starfire looked shocked, then said softly, "Then who are you?"

"Uh…call me… Charlie… your friend," he said.

"Okay Mark, nice to meet you, I am …Kori." said Starfire lifting her hand to shake hands with him. "Your friend as well,"

RedX, (behind his mask), grinned and shook her hand, "Pleasure to meet you, mind telling me what's on your mind?"

Starfire felt herself open up to her new friend, (though she wouldn't admit it), and explained what happened, from when she got sick two yesterday, to earlier this afternoon where she saw Sandra and Robin.

...8 miutes later...

"-and then the alarm went off, and I was sent to stop you," Starfire finished, looking depressed and unhappy.

"…. Damn…" muttered RedX, and he breathed in deeply. "And I thought it was over an anniversary…that really sucks…" he said, in slight anger. "Don't waste your emotions on Robin, he doesn't deserve you!" he snapped, although pleased at her blushing.

"And Sandra!" continued RedX, "What a major bitch! She should go trip into a pool of acid," he ranted.

"Yes, thank you for your sympathy, but what should I do?" she asked, her eyes looking at him, pleadingly.

RedX was surprised, "What? How should I know?" then stared at her in pity, and felt guilty, "You really love him, don't you?" he asked.

"I love him so much, it hurts!" Starfire blurted out, and a single tear slid down her cheek. "Why, though? Why do I have these emotions of love! Why did I have to love…him?" she said in a barely audible voice.

RedX tried to think of a possible answer, but couldn't. He sat there and patted her back as she wiped tears away.

"I am so tired of crying!" she said, frustrated, and almost laughed.

RedX smiled, "Then don't." and suddenly his head shot up, and he smiled. "I have an idea…but you need to let me go back to the city,"

Starfire looked hesitant, "What is your idea?"

"Kori, if you are my friend, I need you to let me go, just trust me."

"I trust you," she replied honestly, "Now please tell me,"


The next morning, Starfire strode outside humming happily to herself, and joined the titans in eating breakfast, as she opened the fridge and picked out some mustard and got a straw. (Yum…-drool-)

"Hey Star, could you get me some ketchup for my tofu eggs?" asked Beastboy, with his mouth full and blowing 'eggs' everywhere.

"Beastboy, that's disgusting, stop!" snapped Sandra, who had been out all night dancing with Terra, and was drinking coffee, trying to hide the gray circles around her eyes.

"He can do whatever he wants, who said you could boss him around?" growled Raven, from the other side of the table.

Terra immaturely stuck her tongue out at Raven, who rolled her eyes and resisted the temptation of plunging a fork into Terra's tongue.

"Of course, Beastboy!" said Starfire happily, still humming and floating around.

Sandra glared angrily at her, 'What's she so happy about?' she thought, and scooted closer to Robin and wrapped her arm around his waste and whispered something that made him blush madly into his ear. (SLUT! sry...it slipped...)

Starfire turned pink, but nonetheless continued to hum cheerfully.

That got Robin's attention. Fast.

"Hey Starfire, you okay?" he asked, untangling himself from Sandra.

"Yes, I am fine, are you alright this morning?" she asked, sipping her mustard innocently.

"Yeah, I'm okay…" he answered, looking confused.

Sandra looked annoyed. 'Honestly, she just got dumped, what's that bitch's deal?' and glared angrily at the happy alien, then smirked. "Hey Star, do you have a date for the party? I don't think you should go if you don't… puts a bad image on the Teen Titans, you know."

Raven looked up angrily from reading, and looked about ready to say something nasty, but was stopped by Starfire answering.

"Why yes, I do, why do you ask?" she answered, trying not to laugh, and succeeding.

Robin nearly spit out the juice he was drinking, and looked up at Starfire, turning red. Sandra looked surprised, and then annoyed.

"WHO?" Robin nearly shrieked, and the rest of the titans looked with interest.

"Yeah who, Robin said NO, remember?" smirked Sandra.

"I know," said Starfire, still smiling. "I am not going with him!"

"…who are you going with?" asked Robin, clenching his teeth, and vowing to add whoever she was going with onto his assassin's list.

Starfire grinned and turned bright red, "RedX, why do you ask?"

Robin fell out of his chair...


Rose: HAHAHA! HUZZA, I AM DONE!

RedX: mwahaha, Robin fell out of his chair!

Rose: cliffhanger...yeah!

RedX: thats cruel.

Rose: Yep! But don't worry, my reviewers, I shall update a lot on spring break!

RedX: let's take care of those pesky reviewers, shall we?

Rose: pesky? NO! I love them all! (sends fruit baskets to all reviewers)

HOW COOL IS THAT? lol. Thanks for reviewing! KEEP ON REVIEWING PLEASE!

Shekron Kaizar- I know, when I first heard Cyborg's song on TV, I totally laughed my head off! It's so...random! Thanks for reviewing! It was short and sweet, I enjoyed it!

Jackdaw- Hello again! You like cats? Cool! I'm a cat person too. Croutans are little pieces of dried bread, usually used in salads, or sometimes in fondu. They're good, but I perfer bacon bits. Kerry? That's fine, I don't care. Thanks for answering!

gladdecease- you don't like mustard? I practically LIVE for mustard, lol. Seriousness? There might be more of that, but I'll try to add humor along the way. Everyone deserves a comic relief every now and then. I know, politics are so boring, and I hate how people get so worked up about other people's opinions. You thought Starfire's past was realistic? thank you, that was exactly what I was aiming for! Your reviews always make me smile, I hope you liked this chapter!

D-I-WaRrIa- I am not copying your idea, I swear! I really won't use RedX/Star, unless I need to! Oh and by the way, of course I love you not just for your pairings! It's only your opinions, and I shouldn't judge you for what you like, when it's over romance issues. I promise I'll review and read if you ever decide to do a rob/rae. Heck, I'd review even if it was a giz/cy...but I'm not giving you ideas...right? lol. HAHA, You really don't like Bush, do you? Lol. That made me laugh so hard. Me?

Oh yeah, my grammer...sorry, I really need to read over my stuff better, sorry it's annoying, I know. Let me know if there's anything else that sucks! It's always good to hear what I need to improve! Slade/Star story? How...strange. Oh well, I bet it got flames...poor author, flames are just pointless. (usually..) Thanks for reviewing! Oh, and one more thing...

omg, I know, everyone always bashes the girls, but never the guys! Although, I DID see someone bash Cyborg. Meh, it was a really stupid reason. But I think Raven is hardly ever bashed, I mean, she is sometimes... but she has so many fans! They practically take over half of fanfiction..it's scary... and usually when she's bashed, they are sending in flames but the second...THEY SCARE ME.. Yeah, but Star's bashed occasionally, and Terra's always bashed, (YES!) But normally by people who hate her for no reason, and that just takes the fun out of it... (sigh) I think the guys aren't bashed because, your right, it's sexist. ugh. It's not like WE should bash them, but make people know about how its only the girls getting bashed. Anyways, thanks for reviewing...I kinda got carried away with the answering thing...whoops...oh well! Luv ya!

Metalligoth- no problem about the swearing, doesn't bother me. Alright, next chapter...er...includes fancy parties? I don't think music is nessicary there, but I'll be sure to use those fight scene songs. Arch Enemy...my older sis said that they are an awesome group, do you recommend any CD of theirs? (I'm a music freak, and I'm always looking for new bands and styles of music to listen to) Club songs..gives me an idea! I could use thoses...thanks for the idea! Alright, now I need to go check out the lyrics, and feel free to reccomend or suggest anymore songs, I'm always open for ideas!

StarfireRobin4ever- burnt cookies? Ew... AHH! MCDONALDS! IT BURNS! (I am so frightened of Ronald McDonald...it's like, not funny...) CURSE YOU RONALD! Bush fan? Cool, I'm not much of a politics person. You have an evil cat?...creepy, I like dogs, they're cool. But I think I'm more of a cat person, since I live with four of them! You don't like mustard? (GASP) I love mustard!...mayo must burn and die... (lol) Thanks for reviewing!

Molly- flower girl? Sure, whatever. YAY MUSTARD! Politics bore me.Meh, I don't feel like typing anymore. Bye.

dramaelfie- Thanks! hope you liked this one!

Kori- Nice to meet you too, Kori! I am Rose! Mustard? I love mustard! Yes, politics are so boring, I want to sleep every time I'm forced to watch a debate...ugh. Evil Doom Monkeys? Haven't heard THAT one before...lol. Thanks for answering my poll and reviewing!

starfirelynn69- yes, poor Star! I almost hate myself for writing it... Mayo? I'm a mustard freak! Bush? Lucky for you, he won! I don't really much care for politics, so it doesn't matter to me. Thanks for reviewing!

FallingDarkAngel-YAY! FORGIVNESS! (gives you bone crushing hug, and huge candy bar) Lol, I did not slap you...I caught myself before I did! (Sorry, I got too excited, lol) YAY, SOMETHING HAPPENED TO TERRA! (laughs evilly) SUFFER...SOMETHING, TERRA! lol, did you enoy this chapter? I know you might not like RedX, but he's being nice in this story. I don't think I'll resort to star/redX though. TERRA AND SANDRA MUST BURN!

Okay, to serious Rose: Hey, are you okay? You seem upset about something, and I know it's not my bussiness, but I hope your okay! (if I was next to you, I'd hug you) Hope you solve your problem, I don't like having my favorite reviewer sad...it makes me sad. Poor FallingDarkAngel, I hope you get better!
