Starfire opened one eye. "What? Where am I? What…happened?" She looked lazily at the screen before her and gasped loudly. "July eleven…two -thousand …SEVEN!"

She ran out of her room and into the common room. " No," she whispered to herself. " This cannot be happening. Was I really gone for that long?"

It was midnight and all the titans were asleep. But when they heard a familiar bloodcurdling scream, they instantly bolted up from their beds ands ran towards the common room.

"Yeah, Star. And after Robin took you to the medical room, you haven't woken up since now," Cyborg explained to the poor, frightened girl.

" Yes, but what has happened since I have been asleep? Where is friend Beastboy?"

" Well, BB left us a year ago. We haven't seen him since. We've asked him why he left us, but I think I know why. I think he was disappointed that Robin and Raven started to date and without you here things have been falling apart. He always had a little crush on Raven, you know," He said glancing at Raven and Robin.

Starfire looked at them. They still looked the same from when she last saw them. Her lip began to tremble. " So both of you friends are do the earthly ritual of 'dating'?" Robin looked at her and nodded, embarrassed. He and Raven were too afraid to hurt Starfire's feelings by telling her, and hadn't said a word to her since she had wakened up. Robin thought she was going to cry. He looked at her with all the sympathy he could find in himself, his heart breaking in two. He still loved her, even if he never got to tell her. But he was with Raven now, even though their relationship would never be as strong as if he and Starfire would have one.

" Um… Starfire I –" He was cut off by a smile on Starfire's face which was gleaming with pride.

" Friends! You have finally gotten together! I could never be happier! Let us rejoice and celebrate the festival of Zuaksnar!"

Everyone had confused looks on their faces. " So you're not mad?" Robin asked in a whisper.

"No! Of course not! Why, if I shall not be happy and joyous for you, that does not make me your friend, right?" She gave them all lung-crushing hugs, but hugged the strongest when she got to Robin and Raven.

"Sooooo, what exactly is 'Zuaksnar?" Raven asked in a weak voice.

" It is a celebration that a friend throws when he or she finds out about two friends that have become lovers!" She smiled gleefully at them. Robin looked embarrassed.

" Uhh…. Starfire, we never even slept in the same room together."

"Okay, we shall celebrate tomorrow." Starfire walked out of the room.

'Wonder why she's not flying?' Cyborg asked himself.

ROBIN'S POV

I thought as I lay I my bed that night. Starfire was actually here. When I heard that scream, I felt the feeling of excitement in my stomach. When I saw those beautiful green orbs staring at me, words couldn't even describe how they lit the room up. Now was the time I could tell her how I feel about her. But then I realized I already had Raven.

Then I thought about Raven. I wasn't really in love with her. In fact the only reason I started dating her was because I was trying to get myself to get over Starfire's coma. The most I thought of Raven was as a sister. She was just too…unstarfire-ish for me. We would never have anything to talk about. The farthest we got with each other in this so-called relationship was a peck on the cheek. We never even held hands or gave each other hugs. But I just couldn't break up with her. I wouldn't want to destroy my friendship with her, or hurt her feelings. I would just have to wait.

But Starfire acted so happy for us. Why? I always thought she had feelings for me. I knew that smile was a fake though.

STARFIRE'S POV

I could not bring myself to believe what Cyborg had told me. My dear Robin and my best friend Raven? This was all too much for me. I felt I had to act blissful for them. That look of sympathy Robin gave me was too gloomy for words. I knew he could see right through me. He was the only one who could. I knew that I had pulled it off on Friends Cyborg and Raven. But I also knew that I would never be able to trick Robin. That smile. That idea of the Zuaksnar celebration. Misery consumed me at the thought of me lying to them. I just wish that Beastboy 'd been here to cheer me up with his, as Cyborg called them " corny", jokes. But he wasn't. And it was all because of Robin and Raven.

I felt like I was bound to have a heart attack anytime though. I felt betrayed. I felt sad. I felt…alone. I picked up my suitcase and packed some of my clothes. Maybe I could visit my k'norfka Galfore in Tamaran. He would make me feel better and glorious in a hutyr!

(A/N: hutyr means second in Tamarainian.) I smiled to myself. That was my real home now. Being here with the Teen titans, or three of them at least, was not going to be fun, not without Beastboy or Robin and Raven being two, as Beastboy said it, "lovebirds". My heart heaved with pain. Everything was wrong.

(Regular POV)

Starfire got up to the roof. She had left notes on all of her friends' doors, saying that she was off to Tamaran. She looked around at her surroundings and sighed. This was going to be a long night.

Robin woke up to hear the sound of something being dragged along the floor. Was it...luggage? He opened his door and found a note that read:

Dear friends,

I am off to Tamaran. Please do not go after me. I will be spending a little time there, most likely a year. Do not worry, I will come back. As to seeing I have been asleep for two years, my Galfore might be worried that I have not visited in a very long period of time. I need to get away from the tower for a while, with all the strain that I contain in myself.

Starfire

She was going to fly to Tamaran? Robin knew that she had anxiety problems with stress. She would probably pass out while she was only halfway there! And for a year? She just woke up! He couldn't bear her absence from the tower again! He had to stop her. Sweating in panic, he ran up to the roof. He was too late. Starfire had already taken off. He could see her figure in the moonlight.

"STARFIRE!"

She was just above the tower when he called out her name. She had a sudden frown on her face and her eyes were beginning to droop. She suddenly dropped her suitcases and began to hyperventilate. 'Oh no, it's happening,' she thought to herself. She passed out and her body fell daintily through the sky. Robin gasped. He positioned himself and caught her in his arms.

"Starfire! Are you okay? Say something!"

She smiled weakly at him and then passed out once more. He tried not thinking about how soft her hair was or how beautiful and peaceful she looked when she slept.

" Yo, Robin!"

His thoughts were disrupted by a voice.

Cyborg came running to him, followed by Raven.

"What happened?"
