There hasn't been a day where Starfire never passed by Raven's room and check to see if Raven was there. Its been a year since Raven left. Starfire kept entering the room to check if Raven came back. She never lost hope of Raven's return. None of the boys understood why she waited for Raven when they all thought she ran and was never going to come back. They assumed it was because Starfire missed having another girl in their house hold, but they were wrong. Starfire craved for the woman that she loved. The woman who never knew how Starfire really felt about her. Starfire walked out of the room with a heavy sigh and entered her own room.
"Raven..." Starfire whispered as tear drops began to fall from her face. "No.. Raven would not want me to cry... she would want me to be happy and wait for her." Starfire said these words everyday to keep herself going. Her heart ached for Raven, she missed her love so much. The boys noticed Starfire's changes. How she rarely talked and kept blacking out on them. How serious she was and how she was less careful in battle.
"Star?" Beast Boy knocked on her door.
"Yes Beast boy?"
"Breakfast..."
"I shall be out soon." Starfire then wiped her tears away. 'Oh Raven, I miss you so much. Come back to me soon... My heart is calling out to you and only you. I really miss you.' Starfire thought as she looked out her window. She caught a view of her bed and remembered how Raven used to hold her on the very bed she slept in every night. Memories flooded her mind. She fought off her tears and tried to calm down. 'Why is this happening? Raven and I never courted (dated) each other. Oh but I wish we were together.' after a few minutes she calmed her nerves and opened the door to continue another day with out her Raven.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Days turned into months, months turned into years, years turned into three and a half millenniums (3500 years). Raven, being a half breed of a powerful demon and an angel was able to stay alive and had barely aged. She looked as if she was only 20 years old when in fact she was already 33,516 years old. Raven only learned 500 years ago, from her teachers Hetea and Gevea, why she aged so differently.
Flashback
Raven raise her sword and struck the demon she was fighting. Every time she fought, she fought with a sense of emptiness. She had no fears of death, no wishes for living. That's what made her the dangerous fighter, no killer. Killer that's what Raven was and she knew it. She was a ruthless killer. She slain every last one of the demons she faced. She has killed many species, many kinds of demons. She was feared in all the dimensions. Her nick name was the grim reaper. Everyone was frightened of her, even Trigon, though he would not admit it. After her killing sprees, Raven would always find a nearby river and cleanse herself.
"I look so young even though I am more than 33,000 years old..." Raven said as she saw her reflection on the river water. She tried to cleanse her self from the blood of the many demons and humans she had just mercilessly killed.
"You do come from a demon and a very holy angel..." Gevea said as she helped Raven take off her blood stained armor.
"You know demons age differently. The angel blood in your body allows you to heal yourself and others. Your practically invincible." Hetea said as she handed Raven a towel.
"But my angelic blood hasn't worked ever since..." Raven said as she remembered the day Starfire was poisoned and she went through her first transformation.
"Since when?" Both girls asked.
"Since I saved her." Raven walked away. She had already told the lovers about why she came with Trigon. She told them about a girl who led her on and broke her heart.
End flashback
Raven stood over the cliff as she watched the two suns set. Gevea and Hetea followed her out the terrace.
"Trigon wants you to go back to the human dimension... but you know..." Gevea said. They knew that was the dimension Raven lived in before she came. They also knew the reason she came.
"Yes I'm ready." Raven interrupted Gevea and walked away.
"You know, for as long as we have known Raven, she has never told us what she felt." Hetea said as she approached her lover.
"The wall she has created is so strong..." Gevea stated sadly. Hetea wrapped her arms around her lovers waist.
"You know maybe we're not the ones who are supposed to be doing this." Hetea said.
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe its time we bring in..." Gevea opened her eyes in shock at her lover's suggestion.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Ah Raven you have come." Trigon said as Raven approached him, Hetea and Gevea behind her. "I expect you know what you are to do?" Raven shook her head no "You are to go to Earth… much has probably changed there. Observe these changes and report back to me."
"Yes Trigon."
"You will go with your mentors." Raven chanted a spell and a portal was created. She entered the portal with Hetea and Gevea following her closely.

Starfire flew over jump city to check if there were any disturbances. After an hour of flying, she headed towards her secret spot. It had been 3500 years since she last saw Raven. She was certain that Raven was dead, Raven her one and only love. Though they never were really together, Starfire felt that Raven owned her heart even though Raven might not have known it. She sat underneath the oak tree, the same spot she always sat in when she was there. The spot where Raven and her almost kissed. Everyday she cursed her alien origin. It was because of this that she aged differently from the other humans.
"Why did you leave and not return Raven? You promised you would not leave me." not a day passed by that Starfire didn't ask herself this question. She did what she always used to do when she was at this peaceful spot, think of her times with Raven. She remembered the first time they saw each other.
Flashback
"Hello..." Starfire said to a girl reading a large book. The book was lowered and revealed the readers dark blue eyes.
"Hi..." the girl said with a monotone voice.
"My name is Starfire... I come from the planet Tameran. I have only been on Earth for 2 days."
"Raven." Raven said as she stretched out her hand. Starfire took her hand and shook it with her alien strength causing Ravens hand to feel her vice like grip.
"Do you wish to be my friend?" Starfire asked with puppy dog eyes.
"We'll see..." Raven smiled at her for the first time and walked away.
End flashback
Starfire looked like she was still around 19. 'For 3500 years I have been alone all my life. I have never felt the touch of a lover, only a friends. 'Its all because of you, Raven. We weren't even together. I'm not even sure you felt the same way... in fact that day we last saw each other you looked at me with so much hate,' Starfire thought about the day Raven and her last saw each other. 'I never saw her look at me like that. Damn it! Why can't I get you off my mind? Some how you dug your self a deep hole in my heart. So deep that even with time's help, I can't dig you out...' Starfire hugged her knees and leaned on the giant oak tree. She stayed at her secret spot for about an hour and left to go home.
