Starfire lifted her eye lids open. She could feel someone's fingers running through her red locks. 'Raven...' Starfire thought in her head. She turned her head and instead of pair of black eyes staring at her, she saw a pair of blue eyes staring at her. 'What do you expect Star?' Starfire asked herself. 'She hates you...' Starfire reminded her self. She gazed at her friend. 'I can't think about Raven... not now.' Starfire told herself. She knew that she would get upset again if she kept thinking about Raven. Starfire smiled at her friend as she lifted her head from Alakline's lap.

"How'd you sleep?" Alkaline asked as she looked at Starfire. She was glad to see that Starfire was getting better.

"Ok.. I guess." Starfire whispered as she strectched her arms. "How long have you been awake?" Starfire asked, her voice was gruff.

"A little more than two hours I guess..." Alkaline replied as she stretched her legs. She winced in pain as she felt her muscles tightening. Starfire saw the pain in Alkaline's eyes.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to keep you here." Starfire apologized. "I didn't mean to fall asleep on you... you could've just left." Starfire reasoned.

"S'ok..." Alkaline replied. "I was afraid that if I moved, you'd wake up and won't fall asleep again. You looked so peaceful there I didn't want to ruin it for ya." Alakline replied. Starfire gazed at Alkaline, studying her. She could tell there was something on the other girls mind. She could see the confusion in Alkaline's eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Starfire asked her friend.

"No one.. I mean nothing." Alkaline replied.

"You're a bad liar." Starfire said, an amused smile plastered on her face.

"I don't want to burden you with my problems... you have enough on you're plate." Alakline replied, her tone was sympathetic.

"Nonsense... I told you my problems, now you have to tell me yours." Starfire said. "That's what friends... actually that's what sisters do." Starfire said. Alkaline's eyes shone with surprise and joy when she heard Starfire refer to her as a sister. "So how about it lil sis... wanna tell me what's going on?"

"..." Alkaline let out a deep sigh.

"You're thinking about Light aren't you?" Starfire asked with a knowing smile on her face.

"Yeah.." Alkaline admitted. She could feel her cheeks growing warm. She knew she was blushing. She bowed her head down and avoided Starfire's gaze.

"Tell her how you feel..." Starfire said.

"I can't... what if she doesn't feel the same way?" Alkaline said, fear and doubt was clearly heard in her voice.

"Listen..." Starfire said as she reached out to Alkaline's face. She used her finger to lift up Alkaline's, causing the blue eyed girl look at her. Alkaline looked into Starfire's emerald eyes and Starfire looked into Alakline's blue eyes. "You can't let fear get in the way. That's what stopped me from telling Raven that I love her..." Starfire reminded Alkaline. "Look at what happened to me and Raven. I don't want you two to end up like me and Raven." Starfire said.

"Star..." Alkaline replied, her face looked so apologetic. She was sorry that her problems were making Starfire think about her ordeal with Raven. Starfire could read Alkaline's face and placed a comforting hand on Alkaline's lap.

"It's ok..." Starfire said. "Promise you'll tell her?" Starfire asked. She saw the unsure look on Alkaline's face and added "It doesn't have to be now... but promise me you'll tell her eventually."

"I promise." Alkaline said.

"How about we get something to eat now?" Starfire asked. "I haven't eaten in three..." Alkaline interupted.

"Actually four days..." Alkaline said.

"...four days." Starfire corrected herself as she got out of bed. She extended her hand to Alkaline and helped the girl up. Alkaline took her hand and Stafire pulled Alkaline up. Alkaline's legs were shaking and she was about to fall. Starfire slipped and arm around Alkaline's waste and Alkaline placed and arm around Starfire's neck. "How long was I out for?" Starfire asked. She knew she'd have to been out long. Alkaline was strong and wouldn't normally just cramp up like that.

"More than 15 hours..." replied Alkaline.

"15 hours without moving you're legs? I'm so sorry..." Starfire replied as she helped Alkaline walk towards the exit of her door. They exited her room and headed for the kitchen.

"Don't worry about it... it's the least I could do to help you out. Besides the feeling will come back in a couple of hours... hopefully." Alkaline said. Starfire wore a guilty look on her face.

"I heard noises. What happened?" Light asked as she walked towards Starfire and Alkaline. Alkaline saw Light, the girl she liked, coming out of her room. She looked like she had just woken up. Her brown was down, looking kind of messy. She was still wearing her pj's which consisted of a black training bra and matching basket ball shorts. Alkaline couldn't help but check out her friend.

"She can't feel her legs." Starfire said. She could see Alkaline looking at Light, she could see the lust in Alkaline's blue eyes. She could also see the concern in Light's forest green eyes. Light walked closer to Starfire and Alkaline.

"I got her... you're not up to full strength yet." Light told Starfire. In truth, she was using this as an excuse to get closer to Alkaline. Light stared into Alkaline's blue eyes as she wrapped and arm around Alkaline's tiny frame and another on Alkaline's knees. She then carried the smaller girl in her arms, bridal style. Alkaline wrapped her arms around Light's neck. The two stared into each other's eyes as the two walked over to kitchen.

Starfire watched the scene with a smile on her face. It was so obvious the two liked each other. You'd have to be blind to not see the attraction. She was determined to help her two team mates. 'I think things between Raven and me would have gone a lot better than it did if someone encourage me to tell her how I feel about her.' Starfire told herself as she followed her team mates into the kitchen. 'So I'll help them...' Starfire told herself. Some how everything Starfire thought about or did seemed to revolve around Raven one way or another.

'What am I going to do? I love her and she hates me...' Starfire thought in her head. She then headed over to where her friends were gathered. Light cooked breakfast and brought it to the dinning table. Nightingale soon entered the room and was surprised to see Starfire sitting on the dining table. For the first time in four days, she smiled.

Starfire smiled at Nightingale and tilted her head towards Alkaline and Light. Nightingale saw Light attending to Alkaline's needs and her smile grew wider. She sat next to Starfire and observed the older girl. 'It may seem like she's alright... but I know she's not.' Nightingale thought in her head. Even Alkaline and Light knew that Starfire would never be the same. They could no longer see the spark in Starfire's eyes. All they could see was a pair of blank eyes staring back at them.
