"Robin, get up! We're going to Dominic Port! The sooner we find Slade, the sooner you can reunite with your team," said Batman in the Batcave over the intercom in Robin's room in Wayne Manor. (A/N did u get that?)
"Ok, Ok, I'm up," said Robin and got up and went to his bathroom, took a shower, and got dressed in his uniform and went to Batcave.
"Dominic Port is about a thirty minute drive, depending on traffic conditions," said Batman as Robin entered his underground lair.
"Awesome."
The Old Warehouse in Dominic Port
Batman kicked the door down and he and Robin entered the Old Abandoned Warehouse. It was pitch black inside, the only light in the room was from the door behind them, the sun's rays hadn't reached very far in the room.
"And….how are we suppose find Slade in the dark?" asked Robin, breaking the silence.
"Split up," was all Batman could say and Robin did so. They put on their night goggles to see in the dark.
"There's nothing here!" yelled Robin from across the Warehouse. He met up with Batman a few minutes later and they left Dominic Port.
2 Months Later
"Hey, Star," said Robin. It was time for Robin and Starfire's little chat on the phone.
"How's everyone there?" asked Robin.
"Well, Beast Boy and Cyborg are at the arcade, Raven is meditating somewhere, and I am talking to you. Nothing new," said Starfire.
"Oh."
"Eight more months."
"Don't worry, Star, I'll be home soon."
"I hope so."
"So, anyway, what have you been up to?"
"Um…shopping, shopping, and shopping."
"Right," said Robin as if he knew she would say that.
"Well, I gotta get going, there's a sale at the mall."
"Alright, bye," said Robin.
"Wait," said Starfire.
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too Star."
"Bye," said Star and hung up.
She went up to her room and changed into a denim mini skirt and a v-collar white tank top and a long tan jacket and step-ins. She went into Robinson's May first and found a cute long white skirt and Ralph Lauren perfume and bought them. Then she went into Hot Topic and bought two Happy Bunny shirts, one was pink and the other was blue. She went into Boarders and bought two Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul books and Enya-A Day Without Rain CD. She went into Sharper Image and bought a CD changer with surround sound. She went into Best Buy and looked at the digicams, laptops, and ipods, she had absolutely no idea how to use them so instead she bought DVDs. She passed by a jewelry store and admired the ring that was white gold and had three diamonds, she wished she owned it. The bags she was carrying got really heavy. Just then, she bumped into someone.
"Starfire?" said the familiar voice.
"Oh, hello Speedy," said Starfire.
"What are you doing with all those bags?" asked Speedy.
"I was shopping, but it turns out, I need Robin for this."
"Robin? Why Robin?"
"He's my boyfriend."
"Oh," said Speedy with a hurt look on his face but looked at the floor so Starfire couldn't see.
"So what brings you to the mall?" asked Starfire.
"Got bored at Titans East Tower, decided to browse around here."
"Oh."
"Hey, do you need help with those bags?"
"That would be great." Starfire handed Speedy the five shopping bags and they walked around the mall together.
"Those bags aren't heavy?" asked Starfire.
"No."
"Hey, I'm hungry, wanna get something to eat?" asked Starfire when they were in front of the food court.
"Sure."
"Want some pizza?"
"Sure." They stood in line for the pizza.
"One pepperoni pizza, an iced tea and……Speedy, what do you want?" said Starfire.
"Um, pepperoni pizza and a coke."
"Make that two pepperoni pizzas, one iced tea, and a coke please," said Starfire to the employee and she handed her two plates of pepperoni pizzas, the iced tea, and a coke.
"$5.25," said the cashier woman.
"I'll pay for it," said Speedy and he handed the cashier woman six dollars and she gave him seventy cents in return.
"Thanks for paying," said Starfire.
"No prob."
After eating their pizza, Speedy wanted to take Starfire to the arcade to impress her.
"Starfire, there's an arcade on the other side of this mall, wanna check it out?" asked Speedy.
"Um, sure. Why not." They went to the other side of the mall and entered the arcade.
"Is it always so noisy in here?" asked Starfire over the noise.
"You'll get use to it," said Speedy. He took out five dollars and exchanged it for tokens.
"So, what do you wanna play?" asked Speedy.
"Um, I don't know. I haven't even seen half of these games before," said Starfire.
"Let's race." Without hesitation, Speedy grabbed Starfire's hand and pulled her over the racing games. He led Starfire to one racing booth while he took a seat on the booth next to hers.
"What do you do in this game?" asked Star.
"Race. Right pedal is gas, left pedal is brake, steering wheel is in front of you, steer it to stay on the road and pass other vehicles, ok?"
"Um, I think so." Speedy deposited four tokens in the token box, two for him and two for Star.
"Manual or automatic?" asked Starfire.
"Automatic," answered Speedy and Starfire moved her steering wheel to highlight 'Automatic' and stepped on the gas pedal. Speedy chose manual. He was an awesome racer, he owned a stick shift and was a pro at racing. The race began and Speedy made his way to first place while Starfire was in sixth place. She struggled to get past the other racers. The race ended and Speedy had won while Starfire was still in sixth place.
"You are a good racer, Speedy," complimented Starfire.
"Thank you. Oh, wanna play DDR?" said Speedy.
"DDR?"
"Dance Dance Revolution. I love that game. Come on."
Speedy took Starfire's hand and led her to DDR. There was a line, but when the arcade goers recognized Speedy and Starfire from the Teen Titans they immediately let Star and Speedy have a turn. Speedy took his place on the left pad and Starfire followed and took her place on the right pad.
"Ok, so when those oncoming arrows hit those top arrows, you step on the right arrow on the floor, ok?" explained Speedy.
"Ok."
Speedy chose a song to dance to and they began. People from the arcade started to form a crowd around DDR. The arrows started out slow then went faster and faster. Starfire had a hard time keeping up, but Speedy was awesome. He hit every one of those arrows. Starfire finally realized why he was nicknamed Speedy. He was fast, too fast. Three rounds past by and Starfire's score was a 'D' while Speedy's was an 'A'. Everyone in the arcade applauded. Speedy led Starfire from DDR and the crowd followed asking for autographs.
"No autographs today, I'm spending the day with Starfire," announced Speedy to the crowd and Starfire blushed and they walked out of the arcade.
Starfire was amazed of how Speedy and Robin look so much alike. Starfire looked up at Speedy (Speedy and Robin are about three inches taller than Starfire) and was lost. She remembered her Robin and how they would spend time together on the roof, in the park, in the mall, and in the lounge. She suddenly realized that she has feelings for Speedy. No, I can't have feelings for Speedy! Robin's my boyfriend! I can't 'cheat' on him! I need to talk to someone, I need to talk to Raven. But since she's not here, I guess it couldn't hurt to 'hang out' with Speedy, Starfire was trying to figure out what to do. But since none of the other titans were there, she decided she would savor the moment. At around 6pm, Speedy took Starfire home.
"Hey, Starfire, I know it's a little early, but, would you like to go out sometime, you know, like a date?" asked Speedy.
"Speedy, Robin's my boyfriend, I can't cheat on him," said Starfire.
"Then, do you wanna go do something as friends?" There was a pause.
"Um, yes," was Starfire's answer. Speedy sighed.
"Ok, we'll go do something tomorrow as friends then."
"Ok."
"Pick you up at six." Starfire nodded and gave him a hug. She couldn't resist. Speedy was a little surprised by what Starfire had just done, but he hugged back. She pulled away and gave him a smile.
"Thank you for such a wonderful day, Speedy," said Starfire and Speedy smiled back.
"My pleasure. See ya tomorrow at 6," said Speedy and drove off.
"Bye." Starfire entered the lounge and found Raven reading a book on the counter and BB and Cyborg playing a game on the GS2. When they heard Starfire walk in, they paused their game and turned to face Starfire.
"Hey Star, we saw you at the arcade earlier," said Beast Boy.
"You did?" said Star.
"Oh yeah, and you weren't alone." This caught Raven's attention and she turned her attention from the book to the conversation going on between Starfire and BB and Cyborg.
"We saw Speedy with you," said Cyborg. There was a short pause before Starfire decided to answer.
"I...uh, bumped into Speedy at the mall…and…we were bored so…we went over to the arcade," explained Starfire. BB and Cyborg had 'not buying it' faces.
"Ok," they both said at the same time and turned their attention back on the GS2. They believed Starfire.
"Raven, can I talk to you?" asked Starfire.
"Sure." Starfire pulled Raven out of the lounge and into the hallway.
"What is it, Star?" asked Raven.
"It's Speedy."
"What about him?"
"I think I may like him more than my friend."
"What! But Starfire, you have Robin!"
"I know, I don't what to do, Raven. Please help me."
"Well, who do love? Robin or Speedy?"
"I……..don't know. Robin is kind, caring and competitive and Speedy is kind, helpful, and carefree. I love them both." There was slight pause.
"Follow your heart. If it's Robin you love most then that's fine, if it's Speedy then that's fine too. But whatever choice you make, me, Cyborg, and Beast Boy are gonna back you up and respect your decision."
"Ok, thanks Raven."
"No problem."
"And you should know, I sorta have a date with Speedy tomorrow. But it's not a date, we're going to 'hang out' as friends."
"Ok, Starfire, as friends," said Raven and went back to the lounge to continue reading her book.
Follow my heart to wherever it takes me. I love Robin but I also love Speedy. I need to think things over. Starfire went to her room and dialed the number of Bruce Wayne's manor. Alfred answered the phone.
"Hello?" said Alfred.
"Hi, is Robin available?" asked Starfire.
"No, I am sorry, Master Grayson is out at the moment, but I can take a message."
"No, it's ok. Just tell him this is Starfire and to call me back."
"Will do." And they hung up.
Starfire connected the CD changer and surround sound she had bought earlier and played the Enya-A Day Without Rain CD. She lay face-up on her bed staring at the glowing stars on her ceiling and wondering what Robin is doing this very minute.
