Hey everyone! Something was wrong with my Internet Friday and Monday so I couldn't update, and as most of you already know, I don't get on the computer on the weekends. So, people are saying that it's no longer a rumor that you can't respond to your reviewers, and that it's a rule. I personally don't agree with this rule, but will still abide by it and just aknowledge ya'll. After all, they didn't say that that's against the rules.

Thank ya'll so much for reviewing! I ask you all to please read and review for my other story, A Haunting at Jump City High, which you can access through my profile. I've also posted a few oneshots, and I'm working on another right now, which might not be up for a while because I got this really bad case of Writer's Block with it and can't think of anything to write. This chapter I ran into some problems with, and it took me a while to write. Also, two of my oneshots (Take Your Sweet Time and Why Don't You Kiss Her, I believe) which I've written, people are asking me to write more for them. Please read them and give me your opinion on if you want more or not. I highly value people's opinions. Here's your story!

Chapter Three: Complications
"Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them."-Unknown
"Raven, remind me to never go shopping without Robin again." Starfire said, striding into ops, weighed down by at least twenty bags. She dropped them on the floor and sat down on the couch next to Raven. "I can't stand all those freaky stalker guys trying to follow me around. They were everywhere today. Oh, hey, Bee." she continued, finally noticing her other friend.
Bumblebee looked up from the magazine she was reading. Her eyes were red and puffy. "Hey, Star." she replied in a slightly choked voice.
"What's wrong?" Starfire inquired, placing a hand on Bumblebee's shoulder and looking at her worriedly.
"Did you happen to see the front page today?" Raven asked, using her powers to levitated the newspaper into Starfire's lap. Starfire picked it up and glanced over the front page, the main article catching her eye.
"Is this-no way. I don't believe it!" she exclaimed after reading the text. "I'm going to knock some sense into him! I can't believe he'd do this to you, Bee!" Star bolted up from the couch and flew from the room and down to the garage. Robin and Beast Boy glanced up as the door slammed open, revealing a very livid alien princess. "CYBORG!" she bellowed. "YOU GOT SOME ESPLANIN' TO DO!" Cyborg's head appeared from under the T-car.
"Hey, Star." he said. "What's wrong?"
"Why don't you tell me?" Starfire hissed slamming the article down on the hood of the car. Cyborg got out from under the car and picked up the paper as Robin and Beast Boy wandered over. Robin gently placed a hand on Starfire's shoulder and pushed her feet to the floor. "Cyborg, Bumblebee is upstairs right now, and she's crying. How could you do that to her?"
"I ain't cheatin' on Bee with Jinx! That's just nasty!" Cyborg said.
"Yeah, well you'd better tell that to her!" Starfire snapped. A few seconds later, the door opened again and Bee emerged and said good bye to everybody.
"I should really get going. With Aqualad in charge and Mas and Menos still not understanding English, I really shouldn't have left the Tower. I'll see you guys later." And without so much as a glance back, she walked away. Cyborg stood there and stared in shock, not moving, watching as her car faded into the distance until Starfire hit him on the back of the head. "Are you insane? Go after her!"
"What's the point, Star?" Cyborg muttered.
"The point? The point?" Starfire screeched. "The point is is that she loves you, and she deserves to know the truth about that article. Now, you can either go tell her yourself, or I can make you go tell her. Cuz if you don't, Cyborg, it'll only make things worse."
"She's not gonna listen to me."
"How do you know that?" Robin said before Starfire could speak. "How do you know she won't listen to you?"
"Just try, dude." said Beast Boy.

"So remind me why you're getting so dressed up to go to dinner with Robin." Raven said as she watched her best friend throwing unsatisfactory outfits out of her closet.
"Because, Raven," Starfire replied holding a short, white silk dress up and looking at the effect in her mirror, "I just have this weird feeling that something's gonna happen tonight, you know?"
"No."
"Oh, well I do. No go away please, I need to get dressed. Besides, aren't you going to the movies with Beast Boy tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Aren't you the least bit excited?"
"Half of me is dreading it and the other half is looking forward to it."
"The two of you have been going to the movies every Saturday for four weeks and still don't consider yourselves a couple? Do you guys have, like, commitment issues or something?"
"No." was the response.
"Oh. Can you please leave?" Starfire asked again, and Raven left. Star closed her door and threw off her uniform, sliding into the silk dress and adjusting the thin straps that held it up. The skirt flared softly and stopped just above her knees. Grinning to herself, she picked up a diamond necklace that Robin had gotten her and fastened it around her neck. Pulling her hair into a simple bun, Starfire slipped into her strappy, white shoes and prepared to leave.

"'Aren't you going to the movies with Beast Boy tonight?'" Raven repeated under her breath. "Joy. Another stupid comedy movie. You're going to have so much fun with him." she told her reflection sarcastically. "So much fun." She glared at herself and surveyed her choice in outfit. Baggy black pants with a studded belt, black vans, and a black long-sleeved shirt. Maybe there was too much black. Nah. It was okay. She brushed her hair and hurried out the door.
