Chapter 13 (The Return of Koffman)
A/N: I don't own any sections of the lyrics in this chapter… But I'm still allowed to sing along right? ;)
Starfire followed the nurse and even though Robin was behind her she felt scared and alone. It didn't help when the doctor said, "You're Starfire? Oh I thought you were a ghost, did you know your skin is like white?" Dr. A Choo Koffman returns! What was Star supposed to say to that? After noticing her now whitish complexion, she had taken to ignoring mirrors. She didn't care what she looked like anyway… As long as she was beautiful in Robin's eyes… And also didn't have a huge zit in the middle of her forehead, other than that she was fine with how she looked. Though it still wasn't very flattering to be called a ghost but whatever.
"Oh yes, I'm glad you came, you don't look well at all…" Dr. A Choo Koffman said. Robin had began to go a little white himself… Star cocked her head slightly to the side trying to take in what the doctor was telling her. "We'll have to run more tests, you seemed perfectly healthy last time but…" The doctor continued talking, as if it were a speech that he had given a thousand times. "But what?" Robin had been quiet so far, but he was starting to get worried again. "Well, you can never be exactly sure… Come along Starfire…" As the door opened Robin could hear everything else in the doctor's office. Sneezes, coughs, hiccups, and various wheezing sounds filled his ears. He realized Star wasn't sick like the other people in the office. She was different, so much different, than all the others. She was a hero, an alien hero. And if something happened to her, it wouldn't just affect her. It would affect Robin, and the rest of the team, the people in the city, and the villains. But nobody could ever replace Star. Not on the team, and not in Robin's heart.
Star snuck one last look at Robin before the door shut behind her. She was strong but on her own she always felt so helpless. When people asked her questions she didn't know that answers. Somehow she always came off clueless, unless Robin was there. Robin always knew the answers to questions, that was just one of the many reasons she loved him. Dr. Koffman pushed Star into a strange room full of strange things… Gizmos, gadget, doohickeys, thing-a-mag-jig-ie-bobs, just plain random machines. She'd been in the room once before and yet it still scared her a little. I mean what did all these machines do, anyway? She was about to find out.
Robin sat quietly alone in the office. He looked around for entertainment, anything to get his mind off Star. He got a strange tickle in his stomach when he thought about her… Aha! He picked up a book out of the crate that was hanging on the wall next to him. "Daisy's trip to the Doctor, sounds exciting…", Robin put back the book and looked at more books, they were all similar. He sighed, waiting was boring, and he wasn't the most patient person… He took out his communicator; well would you look at that… It has a radio…
"Hello people of Jump city this song is from Kat to Omen here it is "I Think I Love You", by The Partridge Family:" This evening I'm right in the middle of a good dream, when all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain, before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head and spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread: I think I love you! Robin switched stations, I mean there had to be a station that wasn't playing a love song right?
"Hey 'yall this here song is to Somebody special from a kid named Ash, take it away with "You can't hurry Love" By the Supremes:" I need love, love, to ease my mind I need to find, find someone to hold, mine, but mama says,"You can't hurry love. No, you just have to wait." She said, "Love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take. You can't hurry love, no you just have to wait you have to trust good time no matter how long it takes…" Robin cleared his throat, widened his eyes and changed the station, again.
He wasn't what I wanted, what I thought no, he wouldn't even open up the door. He never made me feel like I was special, like I was special, cause I was special, Uhuh. – "And that was Avril Lavinge with "He wasn't" So all you guys out there better get your acts together or some girl will write a song about you and make a lot of money off your stupidity… Well it's Avril's hour here on 99.9 the Snog so here is her hit song, "Too much to ask." It's the first time I ever felt this lonely, wish someone could cure this pain… Robin turned off the Radio, "I'd rather read 'Billy gets a shot'…"
