A/N: I know I should do this story a lot faster than what I'm doing, but this is harder than it looks. I have to find songs that work perfectly for what my crazy brain is thinking. And besides Robin needs to explain things with Starfire, which will let me, have the time to think of how the rest of this story will work out.

Falling for a Raven
Chapter 3
The Reason
Robin was in his room thinking of the events that happened last night between him and Starfire and between him and Raven. All this left him to really think about what he was going to do. He knew he had to dump Starfire to keep him from going crazy, and he's headaches were not as frequent as it was when he was still with Starfire, but none the less he did still get them. Now it is morning and the boy wonder is still thinking about what he is going to do about all this. He wanted to make sure that Starfire fully understood why he did what he did, but didn't want to fully hurt her again. So this time he would think a little while longer before he would talk to Starfire. At least he stopped crying over her. The only problem Robin had now was how he would approach Starfire and what he would do now since he is single again.
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
' What am I going to do?'
' You could tell her that relationships have their ups and downs and that you can't be that guy she wants and that you had to let her go.'
' That's a little harsh don't you think so?'
' Okay, so you can tell her that your love was like a rose and sometimes roses whither away and die and that is what happened to you're love for her.'
' That's just as bad as the first one. Can't you think of another way?'
' All right, I think I have a less harsh way to resolve this.'
' All right let me here it.'
' You could...Uh… You can tell her that you care about her and that you do love her it's just not in the way you used to.'
' I like it but…'
' You know what think by yourself because I quit!'
' You can't quit. I need your help.'
' Fine, but I don't want to hear you complain if my advice isn't what you want…okay?'
' Okay, so now I need something to say to her.'
' All right you have to say that things between you two have changed and that you have out grown her and that she needs to move on, and that she will find a guy that is what she wants. Or you can just paraphrase that.'
' That's it thank you. I'm going to talk to Star right now.'
Robin then got out of his bed and out of his room to bump into Raven.
" I'm sorry about that Raven. I guess I'm just naturally clumsy."
" It's okay, you're probable in a hurry to go and talk to Starfire."
" Yeah, so about last nigh, I'm sorry about my behavior."
" It's okay I guess I can understand that things happen and you wanted a break from Starfire."
" Yeah, and thanks."
" Thanks for what?"
" For being my shoulder to cry on. You're a great friend."
" Yeah, your welcome," Raven said deadpan like as she walked away.
' I wonder what's wrong with her? Maybe I'll ask her later.'
Starfire's room (Robin's POV)
As soon as I got to her room I knocked on her door. I heard her stir and she came to the door and said, " I don't wish to speak to you Robin, so if you don't mind I have some things I need to do." She was about to close the door on me if I didn't have my foot in her door.
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You x4
" Star, I really need to speak to you. Can I come in please?" Starfire looked like she was about to say no when I think she thought it over and let me in, " Thank you."
" What do you wish to speak to me about Robin?" Starfire looked like she was going to blasted a hole in through me.
" I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about what I did to you. I know that being let go is hard, and it takes time to heal from a broken heart. I had to learn to do the same thing with my first girlfriend. Anyway, I wanted to say that I wish I could take this pain you feel and put it on myself so that you can be your old cheery self." I smiled at her and waited for a response from her.
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
" I guess now I feel a little better, but that doesn't explain why you broke up with me in the first place?"
" Well, I just couldn't please you like I used to. And to be honest with you Star I feel a lot better since I let you go. I know that you loved me and I once…"
' DON'T SAY THAT!' " Robin?"" Yes?"
" You were saying something about why you broke my heart?"
" Oh yeah, I really didn't want to do it, but I feel that you can find a guy that is worth your attention an can do things all the things I used to do for you and more. But I want to thank you Star."
" For what?"
" For helping me realized that I'm not the guy for you, don't get me wrong Star I think your great, but I don't think that you're the girl for me."
" I believe I understand friend Robin," Starfire said to me with a smile.
" So were friends?"
" Yes, and I hope you are able to move on like I will do as soon as I find the guy for me, and when I do I hope that I can help you if you haven't found that girl for you."
" That sounds great Star. If you don't mind I need to go and started training a little before lunch."
" Okay. Bye Robin," she said to me as she escorted me out off her room. As soon as I left I felt a lot better. I soon made my way to train a little to clear my mind.
A/N: I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of a lot. It's not my fault, but I hate typing stuff between Robin and Starfire…no, I'm serious. By the time the next chapter comes out I'll be the big one nine, which isn't all that great…or is it? I will be taking my time on ALL my stories so please don't threaten me PLEASE because I'm trying my best to do all this while I'm out of school and with my crazy ways of wanting more backgrounds for my computer and reading good TT stories, so be patient. The next chapter will be the song 'Absolutely' by Nine Days, and then 'Could it be' by Christy Carlson Raymano. They should be coming out together I hope to be nice about what I just did to piss you guys off…I'm really sorry. Robin!
Robin: Yes?
KBF: Can you do the thank yous?
Robin: Yes. KBF and I would like to thank:
cutter-with-a-cause: We will use since you been gone if she can, and thank you I think I look hot too. I love…( I hit Robin with a frying pan)
KBF: Yeah, he's TOTALLY HOT! But don't let him know I said that.
Robin: WHY DID YOU DO THAT!
KBF: Do what? (Hides frying pan)
Robin: All right, now I know, I think she should die too. I think your right that people with a lot of talent should not stop when they have a lot of talent, but since KBF has none there is no problem. She loves that song too and thinks it fits Raven perfectly and that is the next chapter. Please hunt her down so she can type more…just kidding KBF.
KBF: I don't appreciate all the bad things you say about me to the reviewers.
Robin: And neither do I.
KBF: Whatever. See you guys in the next chapter.
Robin: Ditto.
KBF: Oh Kitten!
Robin: Okay, I'll be good!
KBF: That's what I thought you would say. TTFN Ta ta for now.
