Disclaimer: I still don't own the Teen Titans.

Thanks to all of my reviewers! Sorry chapter 2 was kind of lame, but I hope to pick things up in this chapter. I couldn't think because my little 9 yr old sister had her friends over and THEY WERE LOUD AND DISTRACTING! lol srry. Anyway... I hope I will make this chapter better.

OMG I just realized something! In the first chapter I had Starfire take a walk! I totally forgot to like, make her come back in! Lets just pretend that she entered through a back door just before Speedy came or something.

'Maybe they will be to busy screaming at Speedy, they won't notice me leave! (A/N: Yes predictable, isn't it? lol) Oh, but I do not wish to leave my friends. Maybe I shall just go for a while until Speedy has left. Shall I leave a note? If I don't they would start worrying and I do not want to trouble my friends. I shall leave them a note.' Star thought, her spirits lifting to her plan. She sneaked to the kitchen table where she saw a pen and an old piece of paper with game cheats for "Mega Ultra Monkey 3" but she didn't think Beast Boy or Cyborg would mind if she wrote on the back of it.

Dear friends,

Do not worry, I have just taken a walk to... think. I shall not be gone long, so there will be no need to panic. I believe I might just take a walk to the park, or to the parlor of ice cream.

Franklingdofly ( A/N: I made that up (duh) and it's supposed to be a tamerainian word meaning, your best friend or something like that)

Starfire.

Starfire sneaked to the hall where she could leave out the back door and won't draw as much attention to herself if she left the front door, where the Titans were blocking Speedy from his escape. She quietly left to take (A/N: yet another) walk. Starfire walked to a densely wooded area and sat down on a bench. 'Oh, why am I such a burden! I am always the weak one and always have to be saved! Do I belong on the team?

Don't think like that!

What?

Don't think like that!

Who are you?

I'm your conscience

Oh. I thought I was my conscience

No. You are the inner voice.

Oh.

You do belong on the team. You know that it would break your teammates hearts if you left. They all have feelings for you (jeeeez, and Robin's feelings could heat up the artic) and all of them (yes, even Raven) would miss you. And you know it. You are the heart and soul of this team.

I- I am?

YES! Don't think of running away or I shall bug you until you go back. Trust me, that's my job.

Oh, then I shall not leave the team!

Yea-' While Starfire was "chatting" with herself, she didn't notice anyone behind her.

"Er, excuse me miss, but I believe that you've been staring at that tree. Is it bothering you?" said a stranger.

Starfire awoke from her little chat with her conscious and inner voice. "Oh no! I was just t-t-(she was about to say, "talking to herself", but she decided that it would sound silly and maybe humans don't do that sort of thing) I was just thinking." She stuttered.

"Oh, ok. So you were just spacing out, is all?" he asked. Starfire thought he was very thoughtful for asking if she was ok.

"Space out?" she asked. ' What does he mean by Spacing out? Space leaving? Where did it go?' She thought to herself. The stranger saw her confused look. "Oh, spacing out means that, it's like you are out of touch with reality." he said.

"I must touch reality?" she asked, still very confused one what he meant.

"Oh, then... it means you where daydreaming." the stranger asked very patiently.

"We can not only dream at night? We can dream in the day too?" Starfire asked, blushing wildly because all of the questions she is asking.

"Well, yeah, you are just not asleep when you daydream." the stranger said cooly. "By the way, my name is Lance." he said holding out his hand.

"My name is-" Starfire started, shaking his hand, but Lance interrupted her. "I know who you are! You are Starfire from the Teen Titans!" He said.

"How did you kno-" Starfire started but then she looked at her apparel and realized she had forgotten to change her clothes. "Oh, yes. I forgot to change into my civilian clothing." she said her face as red as a beet.

"Where's the rest of your team?" Lance asked. "Oh. They are just..." Starfire totally forgot about the team. Had Speedy left yet? Did they realize she left? "Don't wanna talk about it? I understand." Lance said, very understanding. "Want to take a walk along the rest of the path?" Lance asked. Starfire knew better than to go off with strangers, but she could always get away, if he was bad (well, duh, she had powers). But Lance seemed really nice so she agreed to take a walk with him, hoping that she won't be gone too long and the Titans won't worry. Starfire and Lance where talking and asking each other questions for a while, and Starfire was enjoying it very much. She forgot all about her troubles with Speedy and the Titans.

"Lance, why are you out on this walk?" Starfire asked.

" Oh, I'm just on my break from my job. Today's been packed." Lance stated. "Oh, where is your job?" Starfire asked curiously.

"Oh, I work at a Pizza Parlor between Hover Street and Saltwater Lane." He said. "Me and my friends love pizza! Would you happen to have any mustard there?" she asked anxiously. "Sure." Lance said, a little unsure. "Do you also have the mint frosting on the pizza?" She asked. "I'm not so sure about that." Lance chuckled. "Oh, ok then!" Starfire asked. In another hour hour, Starfire realized how long she has been. "Lance, do you know what time it is?" Starfire asked. "It's time for me to get back to my job!" he said. "And it's 1:47." He said. "So long new friend Lance!" Starfire said starting to fly away. "Starfire! Wait! When can we see each other again?" Lance asked. "Maybe tomorrow?" asked Starfire. "What time?" asked Lance. "Same time we met today maybe? Around 11:35, I believe?" Starfire said. "Ok!" said Lance, running to his job and Starfire flew off to the tower.

When she arrived at the tower she peered through a window and Speedy was gone. Starfire walked in the front door. No one was in the lounge. "Friends? Friend Robin? Friend Raven?Friend Beast Boy? Friend Cyborg? Are you here? I have returned from a glorious walk!" Starfire asked. No one answered. She wondered if the Titans had gotten her note. She walked to the table to where her note is. There was another note under hers.

Starfire,

Incase you came back before we did I left you this note. We went to the Ice Cream Parlor to see if you are there.

See you soon,

Robin

and the team.

"Oh! They had not abandoned me, they had searched for me! Oh! I hope they had not waited too long!" Starfire said to herself. She quickly flew to the Titans favorite Ice Cream place. And never the less, there they were! Starfire flew down next to them. "Starfire!" Robin yelled excitedly. "We didn't see you leave! We were worried! I was worried! (Robin didn't say "I was worried!" out loud though) Well, until we saw the note. Then we waited here for you." Robin explained hugging her, then stopped after realizing what he was doing. The Titans were looking pale and their spoons dropped to the floor. They looked sick. "Ugh. Robin didn't let us leave until we found you, so we ate all this ice cream." Beast Boy said followed with a loud belch. At the table, there must have been over 30 bowls which the Titans had eaten their ice cream from. "I am sorry I have taken such a long time. I was lost...ummmm... what was it called again? I believe it was called "daydreaming?" " Starfire said. "Can we go? NOW?" Raven asked impatiently, her mouth also covered with ice cream. They all went back to the tower together.
