"Has anyone seen the new girl?" Robin asked his teammates as they watched TV the next morning. They didn't answer, but continued to stare at the screen. "Hello? Guys?" he tried again. There was no answer. He sighed.

"Never mind, I'll find her myself." He walked off. He knocked on her door but she wasn't there. He walked into the gym and found her punching the punching bag. He walked up to her from behind. He was about to say something but…

"What do you want?" she suddenly asked. Robin smiled.

"I just wanted to talk to you."

"Talk, or give me another bloody nose?" she dished. Robin frowned.

"I'm sorry about that. I should have gone easier on you." He said rubbing the back of his head.

"No, please don't. I like a challenge." She answered.

"Listen…I know you're mad at me and you have every right to be. But I want to make it up to you. Everybody else thinks you're a good fighter, maybe it's because they've spent more time with you than I have."

"So what are you saying?" she asked.

"I'm saying…maybe it's time I got to know you better." Robin said. She turned and looked at him. Robin felt uncomfortable, like maybe he gave her the wrong impression.

"Outside the gym?"

"Yeah, like maybe the movies or something…well not the movies-but uh…something." He quickly corrected himself. She smiled a bit.

"I'd like to see what this town has to offer." She admitted. Robin smiled again.

"Well uh, tonight I'll show you around the city."

"Sounds good."

"Okay, I'll see you later." And he left the room. He took a deep breath and exhaled. Ever since Raven said that, it was harder to talk to her.

Later that night, Robin knocked on the new girl's door and waited for her to open it. She cracked it open and peeked out, revealing one eye. "Are you…" he started but cleared his throat, "Are you ready?" She opened the door and nodded. They walked off together. But Starfire popped out of nowhere!

"Can I come along, wherever it is you are going?" she asked.

"Sorry Star, it's just me and her this time." Robin said. Star's face dropped.

"But, but what if something happens and you need protecting?"

"We'll be fine. I won't let anything happen to our new friend." Robin said as he placed a hand on her shoulder. The girl looked down at his hand, which the touch had made her feel different. Like a warm spot. She grinned.

"Don't flatter yourself wonder boy. I'm not helpless." And Robin smiled at her. They walked outside the tower together, leaving Star standing there.

"RAVEN!" Star cried and rushed to Raven's room! "Raven, Raven!"

"Yes, Starfire?" she answered angrily.

"Robin and our new friend have gone out alone! We should follow them!"

"They will be fine. Besides, Robin wants to be alone with the new girl."

"Alone with the new girl? But why?"

"Because he wants to get to know her better."

"But he didn't take me along!"

"Star, he knows you already. You stick to him like glue."

"But, he never took me out alone like that to get to know me better." Star stuck her head in Raven's door.

"What else is there for him to know after you follow him around all day?"

"Robin and I are friends."

"Exactly, but he isn't friends with the new girl. And I don't think he wants to be, even though he won't admit it."

"Then, what does he want to be with the new girl?" Star asked innocently.

"So, where to first?" Robin asked.

"I dunno. What is there in the city?"

"Well, there's a music store. They have good CD's. There's an arcade." He offered. She stuck her tongue out. "Okay, no arcade!" he laughed. "There's the mall."

"I like malls." She answered.

"Good, let's go there first." And they made their way to the mall. As they walked, a car drove by and a boy in the car whistled and called. She turned and looked disgustedly at the obnoxious loser.

"I never knew why guys did that."

At the mall, they went to a music store and listened to some music. The new girl seemed to enjoy pop music a lot. She even showed interest in rock, which Robin thought was nice. Next they went to a pet shop. The new girl ran over to the puppies on display. She picked one up and cuddled it, letting it lick her nose. Robin had a hard time getting her out of that store. She seemed to really like animals. Next they went and looked at some clothes. They checked out just about every store and lastly went to the food court. They ate pizza and chips. The new girl bought gum and blew bubbles with it, she said it was one of her hobbies. After the mall, Robin suggested calming things down by going to place he knew about. It was an old fair that was on the pier.
