Disclaimer: If I owned Teen Titans, I would not need to waste my time writing fanfiction because I could make anything that I wanted to happen would happen. Of course, I'm writing a fanfic right now, and Robin and Raven aren't together yet, so I do not own Teen Titans.

I want to say thanks to anyone who reviewed. In case anyone needs clarity, Rachel is Raven. In the comics her secret identity was Rachel Roth. Oh, and Kori is Starfire, and Richard is Robin for anyone else who needs more clarity on the names. Anyway, on with chapter 2!

Chapter 2

Here he was, Richard Grayson, on a plane to New York City, clutching at a small piece of paper as if his life depended on it. He could not wait until the plane landed, which would probably not be for a while.

"Get a hold of yourself Grayson," he told himself. "Why are you so anxious to see her anyway? You don't have feelings for her anymore.

He sighed. That was the question he wanted to answer. "Do I still have feelings for her?" He stared out the plane window as if he would find the answer out there. It was a beautiful summer night. The sky was clear and the moon was full. It reminded him of a memorable night quite a while ago. "The night I promised we'd stay together forever," he murmured. Slowly, his mind lapsed into a memory.

Flashback

"Just think Katy," Richard announced excitedly. "I'll be running my own business and following my father's footsteps. Isn't that great?"

Katy (Kitten, blech!) wasn't listening. Her mind was too preoccupied with something she needed to say. "What? Huh? Oh yeah, great."

Richard stared at her. Her countenance wore a look of seriousness. She didn't look like the happy, carefree girl he knew and loved. "You alright?" he asked.

She turned to face him. She had to tell him now, for she might not be able to tell him again. "Richie-poo, (Please bear with me!) there's something you should know."

He nodded and listened.

"Well, you know how I've always dreamed of modeling? (Okay, everyone out there reading this. I DO NOT like Kitten! I feel that her shallow and superficial personality would make her one of those girls who dream of something like modeling. But hey, that's just my opinion.) Well, the modeling agency called and I got a job.

Richard was laughing. "That's all? Gosh, you looked so serious that I thought it was something bad. That's great! It's always been your dream."

Katy wasn't laughing though. "Rich, this means that I'm going to have to leave you." She added solemnly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Richie, Gotham isn't exactly modeling capital of the world. (Is there even such a thing?) Most likely, I'm going to have to travel a lot. Far away from home."

He was crestfallen. "What about your family? Your friends? Katy, what about… us?"

"I know!" she cried. "I don't want to leave you! But I can't turn this down! I've wanted this ever since I was a little girl! Ever since Daddy got me my first superstar Barbie! Richie-poo, you understand, right?"

He knew what he had to do. He couldn't ask her to give up her dream. "Listen, you go do your modeling thing. I promise that we'll make this work," he said seriously.

She wiped her tears. "You mean it?"

"I promise."

End of Flashback

"But we didn't, did we?" he asked himself bitterly. During the early parts of Katy's absence, they corresponded frequently. After a while, her letters came less often, usually in intervals of a couple of months. They were also very vague. Pretty soon they completely lost touch. Richard moved on, but he never forgot her. One day, a letter came in the mail for him. It was from her. He had not seen one in a very long time. He tore it open. It read…

Dear Rich,

I hope you haven't forgotten about me. I'm sorry we lost touch. Certain… things have come up that have been constricting my time. I can't explain. I am currently living in New York. Forgive me for not writing.

Katy

He wanted to go. She never left his mind, but did he still love her? Could they pretend that no time passed by? He was sure that he would know if he saw her. He left for New York the following day.

"Damn it!" He cursed the time. He still had a long way to go before he would see her.

So, how was this chapter? I know that it seemed short, but, like chapter 1, this is an exposition chapter. Hopefully the others will be longer. Oh, and if anyone wants to know why I chose Kitten as Robin's ex-girlfriend, it's because I like Starfire too much to make her seem, well, you'll find out soon enough. Please review!
