Chapter 4: Smores

Immediately, Robin jumped into the water after Starfire. Only a few seconds later, Robin sprang up from the water with her tightly held in his arms. When he got there, he gently laid her on the shore as he caught his breath.

"Starfire," he whispered. "Are you okay?"

She slowly opened her eyes only to see a sopping wet Robin standing over her.

"Robin..." she sputtered, coughing up water. "What happened? Why are you-"

"You fell. Come on, you need to dry off." he replied.

Starfire tried to stand up, but she couldn't. She was still not completely aware of what was going on and she was dizzy from all the water, so, she lost balance.

"I'll carry you." Robin said as he gently lifted her off the ground.

When they reached the campsite, they both found private places in the forest to change into dry clothes.

"I'm sorry you had to get wet, Robin. But thank you for saving me...again." Starfire said softly.

"Starfire, don't feel bad. You didn't do anything wrong. You just don't know how to swim yet, but that's not a problem! You can learn." Robin assured her.

"But, Robin, you are always saving me. You catch me every time I fall and you always cheer me up when I am sad. Why? No one else seems to."

He thought for a minute then said, "Well, I save a lot of people, and so do you and the rest of the team. It's my job. And I never like to see anyone sad." he explained.

"Yes." Starfire said. "What did you wish to tell me earlier?"

A big drop of sweat dripped down Robin's face. "Well, uh...I...um, uh...you, I..."

"Yes, Robin?"

"Do you like m-," he paused. "Smores?"

"Excuse me?" she said.

"Smores. Uh, want one?"

"Okay, yes. I would appreciate a smore."

"Here you go," he said as he held out a few.

"Thank you." Starfire took one and popped it into her mouth. "Mmmmm! Glorious, Robin! May I have another?"

"Of course!" he said with a smile, handing her more. She ate those immediately too.

"You have a little something on your face," he said. Robin reached into his sack and took out a cloth. He gently wiped her face with it.

"There," he said happily. "Good as new!"

Starfire smiled.

"Robin, I-" she whispered.

"Yeah, Star?"

Starfire was quiet for a moment, "Never mind."

Robin frowned. Neither of them could talk to each other. Every time they had something to admit, they couldn't gather the courage to say it.

Meanwhile . . .

Beast boy moaned. "I'm itchy, I'm hungry, I'm sore, I-"

"Would you cut that out! You've been doing that for hours!" Cyborg's tone was dripping with annoyance.

"Well, you'd be whiny too if you were in my shoes!"

"Yeah...I guess I would. They're WAAAY to SMALL because you're such a tiny little person!"

"Am not!"

"Are so!"

"Cybooger!"

"Beast baby!"

"Idiots."

Beast boy and Cyborg turned around to see Raven leaning against a tree with her arms crossed.

"What are you doing?" she muttered.

Cyborg and Beast boy looked at one another. "Uh...nothing?" they answered in unison.

"Yeah...oookaay." Raven replied. "Whatever."

"Rae, can you teleport us back to the campsite?" Cyborg asked.

She shook her head. "I don't know if I can. I was injured. I can't heal it. I'll just be in more pain. I'm sorry."

"Can't you even fly?" Cyborg asked, this time in a more worried voice.

"No. I can't support my weight." she answered. "Why don't you track Robin or Starfire's communicator?"

"There isn't any frequency. Can't track 'em."

"I can't morph either...I hurt too much." Beast boy added.

"So, I guess were stuck." Raven said.

"Yeah...I guess so." Cyborg sighed.

Beast boy's eyes widened. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
