Chapter 15 (Telling Star (Or How to Avoid It))

A/N: No I won't kill Star off too much. Half dead maybe… Hey she's a superhero, she's gonna be fine. Probably…

Robin stood in the hall for some time, still in total shock. He knew he'd have to go back in that dreaded room. He'd have to tell her. He was only a teen, why couldn't the doctor just do his job and tell her? Robin couldn't even tell her he loved her! How could he tell her she was dying? Tears pulled at his eyes but he brushed them away, he had to be brave. For Star.

"Are you going to be ok?" Dr. A Choo Koffman asked. Robin managed to nod. Then the doctor tried to joke, "I think you are more shocked then she's going to be." Robin eyed the doctor hating him very deeply. The doctor wiped the smile off his face, "Well we can't stand here forever… Oh… Heh heh… That's my beeper… Better be going!", he dashed off. Robin cheeks burned red, he fought the urge to run after him and hit him. This doctor was more annoying than Mad Mod. And Mad Mod was pretty darn annoying.

Robin finally opened the door to the room Star looked up, as she saw him a smile exploded on her face. She stood up and walked over to him, "You see Robin, I am fine." Robin sighed, and he opened his mouth to tell her the truth when a nurse came in. The nurse started tidying up the room but it was obvious to Robin that she was spying on them for the doctor to make sure he told her. But he couldn't. The nurse flashed Robin a say-something look. He finally answered, "Sure, Star, sure." Star smiled and took his arm and they walked out together. The nurse helplessly watched them go.

"Surely by now, the team must wonder what is taking us so long?" asked Star. Robin had been unusually quiet. It scared her when Robin was quiet; she never knew what went on in his head. Perhaps he had thoughts of another girl? Surely being a hero he had no time… But then again she would never know, she sighed. She eyed Robin, with him as her best friend she knew him pretty well. He seemed somewhat uncomfortable… Well more than usual, like there was something he wasn't telling her. She winced they were walking pretty fast, and with every step she took she'd get a little 'zap' of pain, "Robin, slow down." He stopped so suddenly that she nearly ran into him. She turned to face him looking him straight in the mask, "Friend, Robin, is there something you have not yet said to me?"

Anything he hadn't told her? Hmm, nope nothing… Well except that she was dying, her heart was melting, she shouldn't fight, and that she only had two weeks to live at most, oh yeah and that he loved her. So just the usual, nothing major… But poor Robin being the very sad confused hero that he was said, "No, nothing that comes to mind, why?" He even forced a smile on his face. The smile did not reassure Star; in fact it made her panic more, "Robin you are acting most strangely, and I do not know why… Has something happened? Have I done something? " Her innocence was killing him, "No Star, who haven't done anything, you've been great. You're prefect… I guess I just have a few things on my mind…" Even in the pale glow on the moon, he could easily see and read her emotions. They had just started walking and she was tired. Unlike Star.

Star clasped into the bench behind her, "Robin I do not understand." He sat next to her, "Neither do I Star. Life is just like that sometimes." "Like what?", she asked gaze curiously at his eyes, concealed safely behind his eyes. "Confusing, Sometimes life is just confusing, and it takes you by surprise." "I love surprises", for a second that old glow surfaced in her eyes; gleaming and shining like a gem. "Not all surprises are good Star", Robin sighed. Star stared into the night sky, the pain had momentarily disappeared. So she was free to enjoy herself. Amazing she could feel so great just sitting and talking with Robin… All alone with Robin in the moonlight… It was actually pretty romantic... She smiled, she realized how tired she felt she didn't think she'd ever be able to make it to the tower if she walked, and her powers weren't dependable these days…. Suddenly she was filled with courage, no not enough courage t tell Robin she loved him, but enough courage to lay her head on Robin shoulder. She closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.

Robin turned his head still not believing what had just happened. Star's head was on his shoulder. "That turned out pretty well." It had, except that he hadn't told her that he loved her, or that she was going to die. But in that moment nothing mattered all that mattered was that Star, the girl he loved, was next to him, with her head on his shoulder. "She thinks you are a pillow." Robin mentally told himself to shut up. He tucked her hair behind her ear. Then he picked her up, and carried her home.

A/N: and thanks Ravenfan16, TheNextTitan, stormcloud-23. Thank you ALL! Dances around wildly! Regains sanity

TheNextTitan- My ideas usually come from real life. If you've ever had a crush on someone, well there is always this thing in your head going, "Should I tell them? Should I not tell them?" Well Robin's voice goes,"I should tell her, but I can't tell her…" And the whole disease factor. I'll tell the truth: I have a character named Kat, she is my favorite! And she is sick a lot. Star is a lot like Kat in this story. Except Kat is sick because she is possessed (hey two in one!) And Star is sick because- well you'll have to figure that out yourself! Thanks for asking!

A/N: Oh yeah If you have ANY questions, feel free to ask. I will reply to questions!
