Ch. 3

Robin and Starfire spent about 2 hours doing nothing but doing nothing but going on different rides, the Ferris wheel (one of Robins favorites), the octopus ride, the mini drop, and the twirling cups. They also played a bunch of games. One of Starfire's favorite was pop the balloon and get some sort of prize. It was simple and easy to play, one that she greatly disliked was Pool. The word WHY popped up a lot when Robin was trying to teach her how to play it.

"I don't know why Starfire, I don't know why you have to hit the 8 to end the game or why we cant just push the ball with your hand, those are the rules and you have to play by them." explained Robin

"Lets us go and do some other fun event, perhaps I shall learn how to play this game another time" said Starfire

"Well then where do you want to go or what do you want to do?" asked Robin

"Let us go on the twirling of the cups!" cried Starfire

Robin sighed, they had already been on that ride 4 times and Starfire really seemed to like it.

"Last time, ok?" said Robin He did not want it to sound like an order, he did enough of that when he was with the team.

"I promise Robin." She replied

Gosh, he loved how Starfire said his name, she said it with no question, unless she was asking a question, which was pretty often with Starfire. She said without doubt or anger, she said it like it was something important to her, he loved it.

Next thing Robin knew he was standing in line for the twirling cups ride. Starfire was jumping up and down and slightly hovering to see if they were next. Robin also loved how Starfire got so exited over the littlest things.

"We are next!" she cried, as she spun around to tell this to Robin, her hair swished by his face, her long, glistening, beautiful red hair.

"Uuhum" he mumbled

After the ride Robin told her that it was time to go home but that they had time for one more ride.

"Robin why do you not pick the last ride that you desire to go on to, I have picked the previous one so why don't you pick the last one." She suggested

"Uuumm… ok …how about the Merry-go-round" Robin said

One of Starfire's little eye brows raised in question, Robin saw it and said "Here let me show you" Robin took her hand and led her to the Merry-go-round which was thankfully close to the exit. Good thought Robin we will be able to leave with out Starfire wanting to go on another ride. The Merry-go-round that they had at the carnival was a good size and had two levels. Robin and Starfire both went to the top level on to a two people carriage, (Starfire did not want to be alone this was after all her first time on it)

They were the two people out of the 4 that were actually on this ride at the time. The other two were a mother and her little son and they both sat down on the first level. So basically they had the ride to them self. Because of the size of the ride it went around about 30 times , on the 7th time Starfires eyes started to close and by the 11th turn her head was on Robins shoulder.

She must have gotten really tiered from all that running and jumping around that she did thought Robin. Slowly Starfire started to slide down his shoulder and ended down on this lap. Carefully Robin took of his glove and stroked her hair, admiring how silky and soft it was. He wanted to stay like this for ever, with Starfire in his lap, him running his fingers through her hair.

An image of BB and CY. ran through his mind, an image of what they would look like and of what they would say if they ever knew of the things he thought of. Robin thought about this for a couple seconds and figured that every guy was sensitive in someway, some just showed it more that others and some did it rarely.

Starfire must have been uncomfortable because all of a sudden she started to turn on his lap, when she was all done her face was facing up toward the night sky which was a dark blue and today had some stars in it. With the hand that did not have the glove he gently stroked her left cheek. He wanted to wake her up and tell her everything that he ever thought about her.

"I love you" he whispered

Then every thing went black.
