After watching the ship fly into the sky, Robin realized what he had done. Letting a single tear from his eye, cold-hearted Robin turned to see three very sad Titians. He knew he was in for an earful.
Cyborg was the first to break the uneasy silence, "I quit." he said sadly.
Beast Boy, looking serious, said emotionless, "I quit, too."
Raven sighed and looked Robin straight in the eye, "You have no team left, I quit also."
"Y-You can't just quit. The city needs us." Robin tried to convince his broken-up team.
"Starfire needed us, too." Cyborg said, and then turned to walk away.
"One little mistake she made, Robin. How many times did you hurt her?" Beast- boy yelled, trying to hold back tears.
"We can't stay after what you have done. YOU broke our team." Raven said, walking with Cyborg, and escorting a very sad and angry Beastboy to the door.
Robin didn't take in what had all just happened, in fact, he was in denial. He thought his team could never be split up, that they were as tight as magnets attracting each other. They were magnets, only repelling one another.
All Titians, including Robin, packed their things, and left the Tower.
Years past, and lives were lived. Every Titian had there new place in the World. Cyborg, part time mechanic, part time high school football coach. The three stayed in touch for awhile. Raven went to collage and was expelled for almost blowing up the whole campus. She later, became a librarian enjoying the company of her books and her torn-up mind. Beastboy tried odd jobs for awhile; mowing lawns, babysitting, and even working at some restaurants. He soon settled to work at a major horse racing production. Once they lost contact with Raven, BB and Cyborg lost contact, too.
Cyborg came home from a game his varsity team had just lost. It was the last game of the season, and a huge uproar. He had even almost lost his job that night. His team was undefeated, until their last game. The game ended with the other team 52 and their team a lousy 8 points. He had yelled at the team and was on the verge of being fired. He had so much anger from 10 years ago, when Starfire left. He had always had a bead temper, until he met her. She taught him the meaning of life; To enjoy what you can. Everything she loved was taken away from her that single, May night.
"RIIIIIINNNNGGGG!" the sound of the phone bounced about the room. Cyborg slowly answered it.
"Hello?" he solemnly said.
"Hey Victor," A lady said. This lady's name was Lisa and was Cyborg's new girlfriend. She reminded him of Bee, who was the only one he knew he could truly be happy with. Victor was his REAL name, and the name he went by now.
"Hey baby," he answered into the phone
"I heard about your job. I'm so sorry. I know you wanted to be undefeated AGAIN for the 8th year in a row. I know! I'll take you out to see Freaky Scary Movie Monster Madness 384. Uh? Wouldn't you like that?" Lisa tried to make him feel better.
Cyborg sighed, "Okay, You know me two good. I HAVE seen Freaky Scary Movie Monster Madness 1 all the way to Freaky Scary Movie Monster Madness 383. I haven't seen the 384th one yet. Afterwards can we get pizza?" Victor now sounded happier.
"Anything to make my lovable, tin man happy." Lisa said sarcastically.
"Pick you up in 10 min." He happily said into the phone.
"Love ya."
"Love ya, too. Bye, bye." Cyborg set the phone down and left to change into casual clothes. He did not look his computer self, anymore. Modern machinery had helped him with this problem. He still had a motorized heart that gave him his tin man nickname. He grabbed his car keys, and went out the door.
Raven awoke the next morning, to her alarm clock. She silently got up, dressed and out of the house. Her house was actually a small one, squished up against two huge buildings. The house was a cute yellow, with pine green shutters. It consisted of a bathroom, her room, a kitchen, living space, a computer room, and an attic.
Raven traveled down the street, walking. She turned the corner and continued walking.
"Hello Raven." An old lady on the street waved and said, giving her cats some food. Raven smiled and nodded to her. Now, Raven's powers were so out of control,
She could hardly talk without blowing something up. She kept going down the street, until she came to a large building on the left which read, "Ocala's Local Library." It was an old looking brown with automatic doors.
She unlocked the door and went inside. She went about putting books away, which were retuned sometime the night before. She went through the stack until she came to one book in particular, The ways of the Other Worlds. She looked in the contents for Tameran. Once found, she flipped to the designated page which was ironically Starfire's lucky number, 88. On the page it was information about the Tameran's lifestyle and culture. On the last page of the particular chapter, it told of the royal family. On the right side was a picture of a baby Starfire dressed up. Raven missed Starfire horribly. She was constantly thinking about her. So much, she could hardly meditate. Her powers were out of control and her voice was lost. It was unlikely to return.
After placing all the books in the correct place, she put her "Closed" sign, to an "Open" one. She sat down at her desk, and read in the quiet Library; an hour after, people started showing up. At noon, there would be a clown to come in and have "Story Time"
At 11:30, she decided to clean up the kids section. She put down her book, only to see a young, brunette child staring at her
"Hello Kyrie." Raven said quietly. Kyrie was a young girl, the age of six. She idolized Raven, and Raven didn't mind it. Her mother hated her, but Raven loved the kid. Kyrie was probably the only person she could hold a real conversation with.
"Who's reading at story time, Mrs. Raven." The curious girl asked.
"A clown" Raven said, walking to the kids section.
"AWWW man, I hate clowns. They are freaky. Who REALLY wants to have a white face with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, AND purple hair?" the girl followed her.
Raven had to laugh," One who gets paid money."
Kyrie laughed, too, "Okay, so MAYBE I would do it for money. I want the new soccer playing Barbie."
"Well, kids are here, let's get them situated and find a book."
"Okay!" Kyrie happily said as she followed Raven.
The kids were all sitting, and they decided to read, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Of coarse, all the kids knew all the words to the book, so when the clown read it, you could her 20 tiny voices reading along with him.
Raven stood listening to the book, watching Kyrie. She had never been able to tell why Kyrie liked her so.
Beast Boy had just finished exercising a horse. He didn't know his name, but the horse was a gelding, had average movement, and an average look to him. He was a sorrel with two white socks in the back legs and a blaze on his face.
"Garfield, breeze McBeth. I want to look at him move. How does he feel?" the trainer yelled at Beastboy, who was now, Garfield.
SO his name is McBeth? Beastboy thought answering the commands and questions. "He feels average." Garfield said, setting the horse up to breeze. A breeze was a light run used to see a horse's movement, speed, and the time it would take to run a certain length.
"I figured." The trainer mumbled.
After breezing the horse, McBeth, Garfield was instructed to walk him down, and give him to his groom. Each horse had an exercise rider, a jockey, and a groom. Each exercise rider, jockey and groom had a list of what horses they were instructed to take care of and when.
While walking, Garfield started to let his mind wander.
He really enjoyed his line of work. He rode good horses, was learning to be a jockey, and had his own horse. His horse was a beautiful bay (A bay horse is a horse with a brown coat with black legs, tail, and mane) and HER name was Starfire. Boy, did he miss the REAL Starfire. He always wondered what she would be doing at a time like this; Taking care of Angel, marrying Evan, or maybe she wasn't even on Tameran. Anyway, there would be know way to know.
BB's horse had Two Aqua eyes and she had a spot on the side that looked like a star. She also had her front right and back left leg white, up to her knee and hock. On the front left, and back right, she had a white spot on her knee and gaskin. She was a pretty mover, and fast too. Garfield first, had to afford getting a trainer, and learn to be a jockey before he could race the filly. He had high hopes for his girl.
The walking ended, and he was headed for his list.
"Wonders Wide. Check. Revolutionary Seabiscut. Check. Entomology. Check. Ha! McBeth, Check." He said to himself checking off the horses name and talking to himself.
"Lets see. Next is, Diversify Me." He read off. He looked around until he found the name plate. He walked to the already saddled horse, and slipped on the bridle. He carefully walked the horse out of the extremely large red, brick barn, and got on. He headed for the outside ring, his mind still wondering.
HEY EVERYONE! I'm sooo excited about this story. I think I'm better, now. I'm taking longer to describe things and using A LOT of adjectives. I'm trying my best to keep everyone in their character. I know in How Long Is Forever, they have WAY different professions, but I wanted to put my own twist on. Also, sorry this chapter was sad, the story WILL END HAPPILY, I promise. Anyway, I'm going to try to work hard and get a chapter up EVERY Sunday, so be ready for that. I watched the new TT Epi. I LOVED it! I cried at the end, though. I thought Red Star was cute! I wish he didn't have to die, though. I also wish that Red Star had kissed Starfire on the cheek or Robin could have hugged Star at the end., Either or. Anyway, the next chapter will have ALL about what's happening to Robin and Star. I'm going to make sure there is A LOT more action in this fanfic.
