Title: Her Cycle

Authoress: StarryTian

Summary: Robin and Starfire are best friends. But when Starfire suddenly gets her cycle, how will Robin deal with it? Warning: Not for people who are squeamish around a woman's period thingie… actually, I'm one myself….RobinxStarfire

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans, and don't really want to either. Who ever owns them right now is doing a GLORIOUS AND AWESOME job at it! (applauds)

Robin felt very awkward, escorting a weeping Starfire to his room. Being raised by Batman, he was naturally very bad at this kind of stuff. Stuff… that dealt with …well, Starfire. Punching in the access code to his room, he led the sobbing Tamaranian princess to his bed.

"St-Starfire?" he tried.

Cries.

He sighed. This was obviously going nowhere. "Star-fire?" he tried again, slowly.

"Robin!" Starfire wept between sobs. "I-I…am… most sorry!" More sobs.

Robin was taken aback at this. "What? You didn't do anything!"

"YES I DID!" she howled, throwing her head onto his chest. "I—I---…I got angry at you! F-for no par-particular re-reason!…"

Tentatively, Robin patted her on the back. "Uh… yeah. Well… erm… I forgive you?" He was trying to hide his growing blush, never have been so close to her before. "It's okay, Star. I'm not mad at you."

"But… you should be!" Starfire wailed. "I d-deserve to be—be, pu-punished!"

"UH…"

"I want to be punished, Robin! Punished, I say!"

"…"

And she erupted into another crying fit.

Groaning, Robin slapped his hand on his forehead in frustration. 'Ugh, what do girls like?' He racked his head for ideas. ….. Thinking… thinking… 'oh! Flowers!' With a spurt of inspiration, Robin leapt from the bed, and jumped off the roof and catched himself with his grappling hook.

His trained eyes searched around the island until they fell upon some colorful looking flowers. Robin sprinted to them, grabbed some hastily and clicked his grappling hook once again to his room.

"Here, Star!" he panted, thrusting the bunch of flowers at her.

But Starfire merely glanced at them before erupting to tears again. "R-Robin! I d-do not de-deserve such ki-kindness!"

Frantically, the Boy Wonder racked his brain again for any ideas that he might've missed. 'Chocolate…no…. ponies? No… C'mon, c'mon! Think!" The weeping Starfire beside him was not helping one bit. 'Think! … oh! Some kinda entertainment?'

Robin faintly remembered the joyous look on Starfire's face while they were watching the ice-skaters last Christmas. 'That might work…"

"Hey, Star, look at me!" he yelled over her sobs, waving his hands around vainly trying to gain her attention. "LOOK!"

Robin started to do some sort of a weird dance between ballet and ice-skating. (A/N: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!) Waving his arms around, he stood on the tip of his boots and managed to twirl around, thanks to his incredible balance.

"S-Star!" Robin struggled, still trying to continue his dance. "STARFIRE, LOOK AT ME!" (A/N: -falls out of chair laughing at Robin-)

While 'dancing', Robin thought he must be out of his mind. Never in his 16 years did he think he would be dancing just to calm a girl down! 'It's for Starfire…' he kept repeating in his head, 'It's for Starfire…'

Still keeping his arms above his head, Robin tried to imitate the music to go along with his dance. "IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRIST-MAS! EEEVERYWHERE YOU GOOOOOO…..!"

Starfire still didn't pay any attention to her leader. On the contrary, she sobbed even harder.

Dropping his arms, he began to think feverishly again. 'That didn't work…no. UH….' Robin let his mind drift towards the beginning of the year. 'SILKIE!' Mentally slapping himself, Robin hurried out of the room in his search for the little mutated pet.

"Here, Silkie, Silkie!" Robin crooned in the Main Room. Thankfully, Beast Boy and Cyborg were too absorbed in their video game to notice anything else. "Here, Silkie, Silkie!"

Upon hearing his name, Silkie popped its little head from beneath the couch.

"Here, Silkie Silkie!" Robin tried again, beckoning the mutated worm towards him. "Silkie, c'mere!"

But Silkie only shook its head 'no' and disappeared underneath the couch again. Groaning, Robin jogged up to the couch and lay down on the floor. Sticking his hand underneath the couch, he groped around, hoping to come in touch with something soft and squishy. He mentally thanked whoever invented the Game Station, given that Beast Boy and Cyborg still weren't paying attention to him from above. What would they think if they saw their 'fearless leader' below their couch, searching for a worm?

"Is that all you GOT?" Cyborg taunted from above, the clicking noise from his controller clearly heard.

"Psh, you haven't seen what I've got!" the green changeling replied.

Extending his arm a little further, Robin let out a little grunt as he came in touch with something soft, and pulled it out. Silkie was gnawing away at his glove.

"WHAT! YOU CHEATED! " Beast Boy shrieked. "Wait, something's not right…"

Robin froze in his tracks.

"Oh, wait, no wonder. MY TURBO WASN'T ON! I DEMAND A REMATCH!"

"Anytime, anywhere!"

Letting out a sigh of relief, Robin resumed his 'quest'. He ran again at top speed and burst into his room, trying to shake off a Silkie who was diligently chewing away the rest of the glove.

Holding Silkie out in front of him, Robin said sweetly, "Starfire, look! Silkie wants to play with you! He's lonely!"

At this, Starfire looked up at Robin. "I-is this so?"

"Yeah," Robin nodded, sitting down beside her. Even when she was crying, she managed to look beautiful. "See?" He held out Silkie for herto see.

"Oh nooooooooooooooooo!" Starfire yelled, standing up.

Robin was startled by this outburst. "WHAT? WHAT IS IT?"

"You're GLOVE!" she screamed, stamping her foot on the ground. "Silkie has ate it! He has digested your precious glove!"

Robin put his hands on the metal neck-thing covering her shoulders and sat her down.

"Star, it's OKAY! I have other gloves!"

"NONONONONO, it's NOT okay! I liked that glove a lot!"

Groaning for what might've been the hundredth time that day, Robin repeated, "Don't worry I have other ones!"

Silkie had now bitten through his glove and started to chew on his skin. "OW!" he yelped, jumping up involuntarily. 'Oh yeah… Silkie'.

Forgetting the incident before, Robin sat down with Starfire again and started to play around with Silkie. "Star, look! Silkie's lonely, and he neeeeeds you!"

Robin propped Silkie up on his lap and started to wiggle him around. Starfire giggled a bit. "Do the chicken dance!" he blurted out of nowhere. She cocked an eyebrow. He started to shake Silkie from side to side, to the tune of his own beat. "Uuh, uuh, uuh, Silkie the chicken! Oh yeah… partay at Silkie's house, whooot! Tch tch, uuh, tch tch…"

Seeing how this had no affect whatsoever, Robin decided to quickly switch tactics. "Heh, sorry. Umm…. Oh—look! He's coming towards you!"

Pretending to 'slip', he dropped Silkie onto Starfire's lap. "Oops!"

Wiping away her tears, Starfire started to play with Silkie also. "Hello my little bungorph! How are you? Your Knorfka Starfire does not wish you to be alone and sad!"

Sighing with relief, Robin felt as if he had just done an amazing feat… which it probably was.

Starfire stood up with Silkie safely in her arms and turned to Robin. "Thank you," she said timidly.

Robin shrugged. "Eh, no problem. I'd do it any day."

Giggling again, Strafire swooped down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Both blushed as Starfire pulled away.

Suddenly, Starfire got a very bright look in her eyes. "I feel the craving for something sweet!"

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. But I just couldn't keep my mind on it! Wanna know why? Okay, here you go:

NO! WE CAN'T LET THEM DO THIS!

So, as quoted by this person in "Animation Insider" of this Teen Titans website….

"If you feel there are more Titans stories to be told, let Cartoon Network know how you feel. Snail mail is the most effective way. Scores of individual letters have the most impact; Petitions are generally worthless in networks' eyes. The best bet is to start a letter writing campaign with individual heartfelt letters stating you would like the show to continue. MAKE SURE TO PUT "SAVE TEEN TITANS!" BIG AND BOLD ON THE OUTSIDE ENVELOPE!

I'm going to see if there is someone in programming we should contact directly. Spread the word and tell your friends. Titans Fans - Go!
