Chapter 7 (Amends)

Robin's POV:

Raven's last comment wasn't necessary, I felt low enough without the Slade comment. Course that's probably why she said it, to make me so much more determined to make amends. I decided I'd take Star out for a real date, nice dinner, and walk around a park. Of course, I was planning that anyway, so I wasn't sure if that would count as making amends. I mean I let Star tell Raven, but it wasn't like Star knew what had happened, right? I hope Raven hadn't told Star, I'd seen her angry, not something I wanted to deal with. Sure I like her. A lot. I might even love her. I don't like to see her hurt, and don't like to see her angry. She's always so happy, so carefree, no one should stop her from thinking that the world couldn't be happy all the time. Any girl, who can stay happy while battling everyday, risking her life, has to be special. I admit I'm not the happiest guy in the world; frankly I could use a little sunshine….

Normal POV:

Star sat on her bed twirling a loose strand of hair through her figures; she sung a tameranian tune under her breath. "Robin has been avoiding you. He has done no such thing, he is merely busy. Star, Robin is ALWAYS busy. It has not stopped him before. Correct, and what does that tell you? He is busier. No, he is avoiding you. But why? Am I not his girl friend? We both are his girlfriend, you are talking to yourself! This is creeping toward the realm of strange, is it not? Well…yes. I shall find Robin and ask why he is avoiding me. Suit yourself." Star shook her head daintily, as if trying to shake out the agueing voices, "If I were Robin, where would I be…?" She jumped as she heard a knock on her door, "Outside my room perhaps?" She crept over and flung the door open, "Aha! Robin I have found you!"

"Err actually Star I came looking for you…" Robin stuttered.

"Have I been lost?"

"No, not exactly… Hey I was wondering, if you'd want to-"

"YES! What a most glorious idea Robin!"

Robin stared at her, "So I'm guessing you like the idea of dinner?"

"Anything with you Robin." Her eyes glistened as she said his name, Robin felt a little guilty, wondering if he had created that listening look, or if she really had felt it before the little hit to her head. Robin realized that fake or real, this was her life now, those were her feelings, they weren't going to suddenly change.

"So how about-"

"Tonight?"

"Yeah ok, that'd wor-"

"I shall get ready right now!"

"Star, it's 8 in the morning."

"It shall take me so long to get ready, I must go ask Raven about 'Face masks'!"

Robin turned slightly red, "Er ok…" He took a step backwards to avoid being hit by the door. "Well, that settles that", he said to the door. He wondered off to the living room to find Beastboy and Cyborg locked in the video game battle of the century.

"WHO"S YOUR BORG CYE WHO"S YOUR BORG?" Beastboy yelled as he momentarily pulled in front.

"Think fast Green Bean!" Yelled Cyborg, as he threw some oil at Beastboy's car,

"NOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooooo! I'll get you for that!" Yelled Beastboy.

"umm guys?" Asked Robin carefully?

"What?" they both screamed.

"I'm going to take Star out tonight so I'll need you two on your best behavior, try not to burn the tower down while I'm gone."

"Yeah Dude, ok, whatever…" Beastboy mumbled.

Right man, we are ALWAYS on our best behavior", muttered Cye.

At the same time they both turned around, "Did you just say you were taking Star out?"

Robin shrugged, "Well she is my girlfriend.."

"Dude! How long has this been going on?" Asked Beastboy.

"Yeah man, details dETAIL-"

There was a sputtering sound, and then a sound of a crash, Beastboy and Cyborg whipped around just in time to see their cars crash, and a big GAME OVER sign pop up.

"NOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOooo!" Screamed Beastboy almost in slow motion.

"OH MAN, I was just about to beat your high score!" Moaned Cyborg.

After a second they both shrugged, "So you and Star are going out on a date huh? Think I could bring Raven?"

Cyborg snorted.

Robin shrugged, " If you can get her to go with you."

Beastboy slumped back in his chair, "Never mind."

Robin raised an eyebrow, "What makes you so sure she'll say no?"

"This IS the same Raven we're talking about right?" Beastboy asked.

Right on cue Raven came through the door, " Erum… Why are you guys all starring at me? You didn't turn into Vampires or anything did you?"

"OH NO, we were just- well- BEASTBOY was just wondering if..." Beastboy glared at Cyborg, turned into a squirrel and began attacking him, " He was wondering –OW HEY KNOCK IT OFF MAN!- If you'd like to- HEY THAT'S MY THIGH!- go out on a double date with - CRAP! DON'T MESS UP MY HAIR!- Robin and Starfire?"

Raven stood watching Cyborg and Beastboy fight for a while, "Yeah sure, whatever."

Beastboy feel off Cyborg, and everybody starred at Raven. "What?"

"Dude did you just say you'd go?" Beastboy asked.

"It's not like I have anything better to do." Raven shrugged.

"COOL!" Beastboy started dancing, " I GOT A DATE UH HUH UH HUH UN HUH!"

"Umm Beastboy, don't push it", Raven said.

"Ok, sorry…"

A/N: So there you go, sorry it took my so long, I'm in a play (Night of the Living Dead) and it took up a lot of time. So who is YOUR favorite character and why? (Just wondering.) Ciao for now!
