Yay! AN UPDATE! Thanks for all the reviews. They really motivate me to write! Ok, for those of you that have questions, don't be afraid to ask because I will answer them, if I can.

MND12ag0n- If someone you love gives you the cold shoulder, you think you'll have time to think about some kiss? Starfire doesn't know why Raven is mad at her. She doesn't know that Raven knows about the kiss.That's the only thing I can say right now.

It was day time but the room was dark. The drapes were blocking the sun light from entering the room. Starfire laid on her bed, crying and thinking about Raven. Starfire had not been able to sleep ever since Raven had told her that she hated her. That was three days ago and Starfire remained locked up in her room ever since Light and Alkaline brought her there.

Starfire hadn't slept for those whole three days because every time she closed her eyes, she could see Raven's hateful black eyes staring at her. It was like that image was sketched onto the back of her eye lids. She hadn't eaten either. She just tossed and turned on her bed, thinking about Raven. The scene kept playing over and over again. 'How can she hate me? What did I do? Where did I go wrong Raven?' Starfire asked, hoping that some one would answer her question. More tears flooded from the red head's green eyes.

Starfire continued to ponder about Raven and her confession. She didn't even notice that Alkaline had entered her room. The blonde merely stood by Starfire's bed side, watching the red head. 'Oh Starfire...' Alkaline thought. 'I've never seen you so broken...' Alkaline continued to think. 'I wish there was something I can do to help you...' Alkaline and Starfire were both lost in their own thoughts.

Neither heard Light knocking on the door. Light ,worried that Starfire had done something to herself, opened the door and let herself in.

"Starfire?" Light spoke out. She was holding a tray or food. She walked in the room and saw her blonde companion standing beside Starfire's bed. She also Starfire was still laying on her bed. Light's voice broke Alkaline away from her thoughts. "I brought food..." Light said as she walked towards her blonde companion. Alkaline nodded at her.

"Starfire..." Alkaline said. "Light brought you some food." Starfire did not move or speak.

"Star... please... it's been three days and you haven't eaten." Light said.

"We're worried about you Star." Alkaline said. Starfire stayed still, as if she hadn't heard anything the girls were saying. Alkaline and Light both looked at each other. Blue met green as the two team mates stared at each other. They could see that they were both desperate to get their team mate back to her cheery self, but they didn't know how they were going to do that.

"We'll leave the food here in case you change your mind." Light said. She placed the tray on the drawer beside Starfire's bed. Light took one last look at Starfire and turned away. She then headed out the door. Alkaline followed close behind her. She rolled her hands to a fist, frustrated and depressed about the events. Light couldn't stand seeing her friend like that. Light felt a hand on her shoulder and she began to relax. She then turned her head. She saw Alkaline looking at her.

"It'll be alright..." Alkaline said. She could sense that Light was feeling helpless about the situation because she was too. But she knew that they had to be strong for their friend. She then slowly lifted her hand from Lights shoulder. She started to walk away. Then suddenly she felt a hand grasping her arm. She looked down and saw Light's hand.

"Thanks..." Light whispered. Her hand trailed down and reached out towards Alkaline's hand. She then held the blond girls hand and gave it a tight squeeze. She was about to let go but Alkaline's hand continued to hold on to her own. The girls both looked at each other. They smiled at each other and intertwined their fingers. Both girls headed for the titan living room.

Time passed and nothing had changed. Alkaline and Light kept on going back to Starfire's room to check on her. So far there was no progress on the red heads condition. Starfire didn't even touch the tray of food Light left for her.

"Did she eat?" Nightingale asked as Light came into the living room. Not once had she gone to Starfire's room to check on the her. She knew that if she saw Starfire, she would break down and she didn't want that to happen. Light shook her head no.

Alkaline came into the room with the tray of food Light left for Starfire. She headed for the kitchen. She then placed the tray of food on the kitchen counter and headed back into the living room.

"What are we gonna do?" Light asked as she headed for the couch.

"I don't know..." Alkaine, the genius of the titans, replied. Silence filled the room.

"That's it!" Nightingale said. She then headed for Starfire's room, her team mates trailing closely behind her. The black haired brunette entered Starfire's room without knocking. She saw Starfire, lying down on her bed. She headed towards Starfire. She then jumped on Starfire's bed. Starfire continued stay still, as Nightingale crawled closer to her.

Light and Alkaline watched as Nightingale crept closer and closer to Starfire.

Nightingale grabbed Starfire's shoulders and pulled the red head, causing Starfire to sit up. Starfire did not look at Nightingale and that seemed to anger Nightingale more. She then began to shake Starfire.

"Don't you know this is hurting us!" Nightingale yelled. "You're so damned selfish! Locking your self up in here! We went on three missions with out you! We could have died!" Nightingale continued to shake Starfire. Nightingale's actions weren't getting through Starfire. Starfire still did not say anything as Nightingale continued to shake her. 'I never knew Raven affected her so much...' Nightingale thought. She finally grew tired. Her hands dropped down from Starfire's shoulders, down to Starfire's waist. She then wrapped her arms around Starfire's slender waist. She placed her head on Starfire's lap and tears began to flow from her brown eyes.

Alkaline turned away from Nightingale and Starfire. Tears started to flow from her blue eyes. She couldn't take it anymore. She felt like her team, her family, was breaking apart. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked and saw Light, gazing at her with a comforting look in her eyes. Alkaline pulled Light into a hug and cried into the brown haired girls arms.

At first, Light was surprised when Alkaline jumped into her arms. She then felt herself relax and she placed her arms around the smaller girl's waist. She let Alkaline cry on her and held the girl protectively.

"We can't stand seeing you like this..." Alkaline said, her head buried in Light's chest.

"We care about you a lot Star... we're not just a team. We're a family." Light stated.

"Starfire... We wouldn't know what to do without you, Star... we need you." Nightingale said as she continued to cry on Starfire's lap.

Starfire could feel Nightingale's warm tears, soaking through her clothes. That seemed to break her out of her daze. She looked down at Nightingale, then at Light and Alkaline. 'They're right... they do need me. They're my friends, my team mates. We're a family. I can't let them down. No matter how much I'm hurting, I have to be strong, if not for myself then for them.' Starfire thought in her head. She then placed her hand on Nightingale's head.

Nightingale stopped crying when she felt a hand on her head. The hand then started to comb her hair. She looked up and saw Starfire looking at her.

"I'm sorry..." Starfire whispered softly. Everyone heard her. Alkaline and Light turned their heads and looked at Starfire. "It just hurt so much to hear her say that to me..." Starfire said as Alkaline and Light approached her bed. "We were talking... I thought things were going to be better from then on. I thought we were going to be friends again... I could feel it." Starfire said. "Then she told me she hates me and I guess I just lost it." Starfire said, tears began to flow from her green eyes. "How would you feel if you thought you could have another chance with the one that you love? I thought I could finally know why she left me."

"Oh Starfire..." Alkaline said as she approached Starfire. She sat on Starfire's bed and reached out to Starfire. She wrapped her arms around the distraught Starfire and held her. Starfire hugged her back in return. Nightingale sat up and placed a hand on Starifre's back and began to caress it.

"It'll be alright... you have us." Light said. She then walked towards Starfire's bed and sat behind Alkaline. The girls stayed there, holding and comforting Starfire. Starfire, due to exhaustion, physically and emotionally, finally fell asleep on Alkaline's lap. They were all thankful that Starfire came through for them.

Alkaline stayed still, afraid that if she moved, Starfire would awaken. She decided that she would stay in Starfire's room and watch over the older girl. She would do what she could to help the other girl because she loved her. But it wasn't the kind of love Nightingale had for Starfire. She loved Starfire like a sister. She respected the other girl.

Light watched through the crack of Starfire's door. She saw Alkaline, about ready to fall asleep. Starfire's head was still on Alkaline's lap. Finally, she saw Alkaline's eyes starting to close. She waited for a few minutes before she came back into the room. She walked over to the closet and grabbed a blanket. She headed towards Starfire's bed and put the covers on Starfire and Alkaline. She was glad that Starfire had come out of her shell, even though not completely. It was still a step forward. She then headed towards the door, pausing before completely heading out. She looked at Alkaline and smiled. Light then stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Starfire awoke to the sound of somebody's foot steps. She looked up and saw Light heading for her closet. She saw the girl pull out a blanket and she quickly shut her eyes close. She felt Light place the blanket over her and Alkaline. Starfire could hear Light's retreating footsteps. She slightly opened her eyes and saw Light looking at Alkaline, a smile plastered on her face. She then saw Light head out the door. A small smile came upon Starfire's face. 'At least other people are finding love...' Starfire's smile disappeared as her thoughts suddenly drifted towards Raven. 'Raven, I'm going to get to the bottom of all this. There's a reason why you say you hate me... I'm going to find out what it is. I won't rest until I find out.' Starfire thought as she closed her eyes and headed to dream land.
