Wow, I'm really glad you guys liked it. I waited for the weekend to be over so I could get some responses. And do not worry, for Robin will definitely become über jealous if anything happens. I love that. I don't know if this story will grow to be the 12 chapters Closer was or if it'll be a little shorter, but I hope you all like it all the same.

Rose: Thanks to you, I read the story in your profile and I fell in love with BB/Star, too. Made a C2 for it, since there's so few stories around with that pairing. I really hope you like this, and I'm more than happy to accept ideas. No Rob/Rae though! –shudder-

Lord of the files: I like you. You're on my staff now! Yay! Anyway, like I said, ideas are wonderfully accepted and I really hope you like it.

Orphen27: Thanks for the idea. It sparked something a while ago, I forgot what it was now (grr..) But never fear! I have a good plan for this chapter. …Sort of.

Thugette90: Working on the update as I ..er…Type. Yes. Type. Was waiting for responses. I'm glad you liked the one-shot.

0kitten0lemonade0: Thank you muchly! It gave me a good idea to use. Hope you find it to your liking.

MagzDD: Low reviews always show up with the first chapter. And y'never know, BB did get the courage to tell Terra how he felt (grr).

Strodgfrgf: -wtf with the name? …it's nifty- And I love Robin getting jealous at BB. You can be assured a mad-robin scene in this fic somewhere. Maybe even more than one. Yup yup.

Erifrats101: Maybe. Maybe. Read to find out.

Cave In

Starfire and Beast Boy walked side by side through the Jump City park, talking about various things and watching people and children play. The sun had come out a little, sparkling on the bay. "And that's how animals like penguins get through the breeding process." BB explained. "Ooh. …What's a pen-gwin?" BB smiled and took her to the shade of some trees, and turned into a penguin. Of course, she squealed in delight, picked him up and hugged him to her. "OOO! Pen-gwins are so CUTE!" she squealed.

Beast Boy turned back into himself to attempt to tell her that he couldn't breathe, but she'd loosened her grip. "Penguins are –cough—are actually black and white mostly; they live in Antarctica." "The iced continent of Earth?" "Yes. In fact, they're one of the few animals that can survive the cold down there."

The two went on talking, Starfire asking about Earth's animals and Beast Boy gladly explaining, even on until they were out of the park. It had been early afternoon when they'd set out, and was starting to become twilight. When Starfire noticed this, she smiled and looked at BB. "Friend, let us go to the mountains on the other side of the city to watch the stars come out! It is quite beautiful!" He nodded, "Sure. But we should go back before it gets too dark, the team would get worried." She agreed, and they flew over the city to the forested mountains to watch from a clearing.

The two sat on a hill in the mountainside still talking as they looked up to see the sun set, bringing out amazing colors in the sky. The first stars had begun to show above their heads and Starfire had been questioning the relationship between monkeys and feces when BB noticed something in the hillside. "Star, look! It's a little cave. Let's go check it out!" he started towards it, taking her by the wrist into it. She was giggling nervously, afraid of what could be in there, but followed nonetheless. She lit her hand with a starbolt and the two ventured inside. It turned out to be more than 'little' cave.

Things like, "Star, this is so cool!" and "Awesome!" could be heard from Beast Boy as they walked further and further into the cave. "Beast Boy, perhaps we should return to the Tower…" Starfire whimpered when she could no longer see the entrance to the cave. The lime green light glowered a few feet in front of her, and she could only just see BB's form in front of her. She bumped into him from behind, startled. "Beast Boy, what's wrong?" He simply pointed upwards, a large grin on his face. "…Bats!" he whispered. They seemed to have reached the end of the cave. Starfire looked up, and upon seeing the huge colony of nocturnal creatures hanging above her head, she squealed.

And what did the bats do? They flew. Fast and loud. "Starfire, shh! They're only bats!" Beast Boy tried to shout over the noise of the flying creatures, turned to look at her, but she wasn't there. He felt a tugging on his ankle, and looked down to see Starfire curled up and clutching to his leg, a hand over her head to hide from the bats. 'She must really be scared… If only I could tell her there's nothing to worry about…'

He leaned down and moved his head next to hers and whispered comfortingly in her ear, "Star, there's nothing to worry about. They won't hurt you." She peeked up at him as the last of the bats flew by and they were surrounded by silence once more. "C'mon. Let's go back." Beast Boy took her hand and pulled her up. It had gotten very dark, without her starbolt. She lit her hand again and they began to walk back to the entrance, Starfire clutching BB's arm the whole way, looking out for bats anyway.

They reached the entrance, only by seeing the lights from the city through it. It had gotten dark already. About ten yards from exiting the cave, Starfire heard a squeak and shot her starbolt at wherever it came from. It caused some rock and rubble to fall from the ceiling. "Star… Careful…" Beast Boy cautioned. "This cave… It doesn't seem stable."

As if on cue, more rocks, larger rocks, fell from the ceiling and would naturally block their path from leaving the cave. Afraid of being crushed by the impact, Beast Boy pulled Star back into the cave to avoid the rocks falling ahead of them. They lost contact with each other and fell back, the changeling rolling away to avoid being hit by a rock, what with his animal senses and all. A few minutes of agonizing silence fell as the last rocks and rubble tumbled down from the cave ceiling. BB picked himself up and dusted himself off, feeling in the darkness for a break in the heavy rock. "Shit." He muttered. After a few moments of standing, he tried to lift some of the rock.

"Star, can you help, you're stronger than me… …Star? …Starfire?" He asked, but she didn't answer. "S-starfire! Where are you?" He squinted, his instinctive eyes not adjusted to the darkness. He smelled for her, he knew her smell well. She was somewhere. 'I don't smell any blood… That's good…' "Starfire!" He was silent for a moment, hearing her name echo through the cave. He was silent, hoping she would make a sound. Until he heard a very quiet noise… He whispered, "Starfire…?" The noise was sobbing. Starfire was somewhere, sobbing. "Starfire…" BB whispered again, more out of worry than search.

She tried to say something. Anything. She was so choked up, thinking, 'It's my fault. Everything. All this. This is all my fault! If I weren't so scared about everything I wouldn't have overreacted and we could be heading back to the tower by now…' She let a few tears trail down her cheeks, knowing no one could see them. She heard Beast Boy yelling for her, but she didn't have the courage to reply. 'He's going to be so upset with me. He will be angry, I'm sure!'

The changeling changed into a dog and sniffed his friend out. He found her, changed back and knelt next to her, feeling for her hands. "Starfire?" He whispered. He heard her sniffle. "Star… It's going to be okay. Don't worry." He heard her stifle a sob, and then let it go. He could tell she was crying. He found her hand and gripped it with both of his own. "Don't cry… Please… What's wrong? We'll get out, I promise. Don't cry…"

She tried to calm herself down enough to talk to him. "Y-you're… not upset with m-me?" Beast Boy found her shoulder and leaned his head on it. "Why would I be upset with you?" Starfire's stomach had butterflies in it at his touch. "B-because… I-I… I caused th-the cave in." "What? Oh, Star, you got scared. It's alright. We'll get out, it's not that big a deal. I'm not mad at you for that, or anything." He nuzzled his cheek against her the way he would if he were the kitten she adores. Isn't it common for animals to nuzzle? Starfire giggled and gripped his hand in the darkness.

"You wanna give some light and help get us out of here?" Beast Boy asked her as they stood up. She nodded and lit her hand with a starbolt again. "Be gentle, we don't want to get even more trapped." So BB turned into a gorilla and they gently moved rocks until they were free. Getting out to the cool night air, they lay on the cool grass to rest for a moment as Starfire's communicator went off.

"Starfire, where are you? Come in, are you there?" Robin's voice crackled through the radio communicator. Starfire groaned, not wanting to move, but took her communicator off her belt and pressed the button. "Yes, I'm here, Robin." Her voice sounded exhausted but happy. "Where are you? What's going on?" He asked, with concern in his voice. She sighed, having to speak again, "Beast Boy and I will be home soon. I can explain later. Let me rest, please." She replied, and turned her communicator off. Beast Boy turned his head to her, "Is that a good idea? Turning your communicator off like that? What's Robin gonna think?" he put a little emphasis on Robin's name, without meaning to. He mentally scolded himself.

"I do not wish to talk right now. I am tired. …Do you wish to return to the Tower? I am feeling sleepy for my bed." She said, trying to change the subject of Robin. He nodded and gave her a hand to help her stand up. Being on the hillside, Starfire stumbled forward, and their faces were an inch apart. Their eyes widened, they were so close to each other.

"B-Beast-" Starfire managed to exhale half of his name before he leaned into her, kissing her softly. He pulled away for a second, whispering, "Garfield. My name's Garfield." Starfire smiled at his name, for it was a strange Earth name to her. She giggled a little and kissed him again, to his surprise. They stood there for a few minutes with their lips locked together, before Starfire pulled away and looked towards the tower.

"We should probably go back, friend Be- …G-Garfield." She smiled at him widely, suppressing the urge to laugh from happiness. He nodded at her in agreement, and they flew back. Starfire felt herself feeling as light as a feather, flying almost without noticing it, she was so happy.

The two arrived at the Tower within a few minutes, having flown over the entire city and bay. They landed on the rooftop where they'd kissed, more casually, a few months before. Before passing through the doorway to greet the rest of the Titans, Starfire whispered in BB's ear, "I'm Koriand'r." and kissed his cheek. They gripped each others' hands, let go, and walked inside.

Starfire and Beast Boy walked into the main room one after the other. No one but Robin really noticed, who proceeded to run up to Starfire and hug her. Beast Boy just kept walking, his spirits damped slightly at Robin's presence, to his room. Starfire did not really want to be around Robin at the moment, and pulled out of the hug. "Robin, I wish to retire to my chambers of sleeping. Goodnight, friend." She muttered and turned to walk through the doors to the hallways, in hopes of following Beast Boy.

"What? Aren't you going to tell me what happened? You've been gone all day!" Robin said after her. But she wasn't listening. She just kept walking, and while she had missed BB, she went to her room to sleep, dreaming of a certain green boy. Leaving Robin feeling suspicious about her and BB's friendship.

So? You like? Angry-Robin scene should be up in the next chapter. Hopefully. Review please!
