Chapter 7:

Sarah woke up the nextmorning and headed downstairs in her night gown and her silk robe to find everyone already eating breakfast. "Good morning everyone." Sarah greeted everyone before taking her place at the end of the table, sitting between Robin and Speedy.

"Hey Sarah!" Beastboy exclaimed. "Hey! Your chef makes good tofu waffles."

"I'll be sure to tell him." Sarah said while she tried to smile, but everyone could tell it was forced. Sarah still looked tired as she head her head in her hand and let out a long sigh.

"You OK Sarah?" Robin asked.

"Yes. Just a bit tired. That's all." Sarah replied with another forced smile. Then a butler walked up to her. "James. Could I please have a glass of orange juice and an English muffin with peanut butter and jelly."

"Yes my Queen." James, the butler, said with a bow before walking away and soon reappearing with the food and orange juice. He placed it in front of Sarah and let her be, stand by the doorway ready to serve anyone who called to him.

"So what are you going to be doing today?" Speedy asked. "I called my parents and they told me I could stay as long as you allow me to."

"Stay as long as you like. And I was thinking of taking everyone to the fair today." Sarah replied.

"You guys have fair up here?" Cyborg asked.

"Yes, that we do. I have made this planet much like Earth, since I missed it so much." Sarah said. "Butthis planetdoesn't have any of my friends on it like Earth does, and I miss it."

"We must find a way to get you off the planet Sarah." Starfire said as she stood up.

"Shh!" Sarah hushed Starfire, pointing out that James was right there. Sarah knew any of her servants would immediantely tell the council if they ever heard that she wanted to leave, or was trying to leave. "We'll talk about it later." She whispered quietly, but everyone at the table was able to hear. "But why don't we get ready to leave and I'll take all of you to the fair."

"Sounds like fun." Raven commented, not sounding very excited at all.

At the Fair...

It was just like a fair on Earth. Vendors were everywhere trying to sell things, games that were impossible to win were everywhere with stuff animals to win, tickets were being sold for rides, everything. Cyborg headed straight for the football toss while Beastboy drug Raven around the fair while he tried to win her a prize. Though Raven just stood there looking bored while Beastboy continued to lose. She let a sigh before Beastboy threw another baseball, trying to knock down the three milk bottles, then she used her powers to make the bal knock down all the bottles.

"Yes!" Beastboy cheered before the man behind the counter gave him a huge teddy bear. "Here Rave! This is yours."

"Umm... Thanx?" Raven replied as she took the bear, her cheeks turning red.

"No prob. Now let's go see what else is here!" Beastboy said before grabbing Raven's arm and pulling her over to some of the rides.

With Robin and Starfire...

Robin and Starfire walked through the stalls, Starfire seeing a piece of clothing that she liked and then tried it on. Soon enough, she was doing a small fashion show for Robin as he sat in a small chair while Starfire changed from one outfit to another. She ended up buying nine different outfits.

"This is so wonderous! Don't you think Robin?" Starfire asked as she twirled around everywhere, holding her bags tightly.

"Yeah. Hey, why don't we put the bags back in the carriage and then continue walking around." Robin suggested, seeing as Starfire had about five bags, her carrying three and Robin carrying two.

"Yes, I suppose that would be smart seeing as I have so much to carry." Starfire replied. Then she walked over to Robin as they walked side by side.

Robin had moved the two bags he was carrying into one hand and Starfire was carrying three bags with one hand. Robin noticed her free hand was next to his free hand, so he took her hand in his. Starfire looked up at Robin. "Robin?" She asked.

"It's nothing. Let's just hold hands, that'sall. It's something friends do." Robin said, his cheeks starting to burn up.

"I suppose so." Starfire replied, both of them conitinuing to stare at each other. Then starfire moved in closer and kissed Robin on the cheek, cause Robin's face to turn bright red. Starfire giggled as her cheeks also burned up. That was probably the first time Starfire had ever really shown any real sign of affection the Robin could read. They just stared at each other, blushing madly.

With Sarah and Speedy...

They were both running around by the river. Since they were both royalty, they never got a moment to themselves while out in public. So they just sat by the river.

"This is so much nicer than going into that fair." Sarah commented.

"Why didn't you come if you didn't want to be at the fair?" Speedy asked as he sat next to Sarah. "What was the point of that if you're not going to enjoy yourself there?"

"It was a reason to get out of the castle, and I didn't think that my friends would want to stay cooped up in there." Sarah replied. "It gets quite boring sitting in there with no one else to hang out with. On your planet, you have many friends, but I don't have much time for friends. That's why I want to leave."

"I understand." Speedy said as he wrapped an arm around Sarah, sensing that she was ready to break down again. She had done that a lot since they met. And he was the only one other than Robin she had really opened up to ever since he's known her. "It's OK." He tried to calm her.

"I'm sorry." Sarah apologized as she tried to stand up, but Speedy held her down. He knew she would collapse and break down soon. She did everytime she was reminded of how much she missed her real home on Earth.

"Don't apologize. Just stay." Speedy said as he hugged her. "Don't run off. I'm here."

Tears started to come from Sarah's eyes. "I miss everyone so much. It's a miracle that I'm able to see Robin again. And I've just made new friends. What am I going to do when they leave?" Sarah asked. Then she heard Speedy sing a song to her that he sang whenever she was sad. She looked up at him, her arms around his neck, listening to the words that would always made her feel a little better when she was sad, and she could only hear them from Speedy.

Hard times are fallin' on you
Even when you smile I see the hurt come through
And I know it feels like it's never gonna end
You say nothin's been right for a long time
And every step you take is an uphill climb
I see you're reachin' out
So let me tell you friend that

Better days are comin' around
I know you feel like
The whole world's gone and let you down but
Better days they're comin' for you
I know they will
'Cause I'll be right here makin' sure they do

And if your sky ain't lookin' the fairest
There ain't no reason to be embarrassed
Ain't nobody in the world ain't felt
The rain from time to time
And just when you think it's all over and done
The night get easier one by one
So take my hand and hold on tight
And soon you're gonna find

Then Speedy pulled Sarah to her feet and twirled her around, dancing with her.

Thatbetter days are comin' around
I know you feel like
The whole world's gone and let you down but
Better days they're comin' for you
I know they will
'Cause I'll be right here makin' sure they do

I know what it's like
To have to face the fight
But I won't let you stand alone, no

Better days are comin' for you
I know it feels like
The whole world's gone and let you down but
Better days they're comin' for you
I know they will
'Cause I'll be right here makin' sure they do

Oh, better days
I know, I know, I know
The whole world's gone and let you down
Better days are comin' for you
I know they will

Then Speedyy was done singing as he held Sarah's hands. "Everything can only get better." He said before he kissed her hand, causing Sarah's cheeks to burn up before she smiled at him.

"Thank you." She said as she let herself be wrapped up in Speedy's arms.
