Hey everyone!! Thanks to all who reviewed "A Memory Away." But just so you know, I'm not continuing it. Instead, I've decided to write another Teen Titans story. Enjoy!
Don't own Teen Titans. Never have, never will.
Under the Spell
Starfire giggled slightly as the breeze tickled her face. Picking a flower from the ground, she blew on it, and watched as little white tufts flew with the wind. She giggled again, watching them fly away. "What a strange flower," she said to herself.
"It's a dandelion," a voice said from behind her. Turning her head slightly, her smile widened as Robin sat down next to her in the grass. "What are you doing?"
"Playing with the flowers. What did you say this one was called?"
"A dandelion." Picking one out of the ground, he blew it, then pointed to the white tufts flying away in the wind. "Those are dandelion seeds. That's how they spread and grow."
She smiled, watching as the seeds blew away. When they were gone, she looked over at the other. "How did you know that I was here?"
He shrugged, leaning back and staring up at the blue sky. "Just a hunch, I guess."
The teen boy, since he was looking up, didn't notice as the alien girl next to him blushed slightly. "You always seem to know where I am, Robin."
"All hunches, I suppose."
She smiled, sitting up from her lying position. 'Robin always seems to know where I am,' she thought. 'But they cannot be all hunches, can they? So how would he know?' Another blush formed on her cheeks as she thought over possible reasons. 'Though I doubt he feels that way for me, no matter how much I would like him to.'
She watched as he continued to stare up at the sky, smiling softly to herself. 'He is so very nice to me, and he has made me feel at home here on Earth, even since I am not even from here.'
Because of the mask covering Robin's eyes, Starfire wasn't able to see that he was looking at her, even though his face was turned toward the sky. "Something wrong, Star?"
She blinked. "No. There is nothing wrong at all. Why would you think so?"
He looked at her, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Well, you're kind of staring at me, and you're cheeks are kind of red."
The alien girl gasped, quickly averting her gaze on the ground. 'He caught me looking at him!' she thought with embarrassment as more of her blood covered painted her cheeks. 'Starfire, you are so foolish!'
He blinked slightly, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Hey, Star, are you okay?"
She nodded, not looking at his as she tucked some of her crimson hair behind her ear. "Yes, I am fine."
He sat up. "Are you sure?"
Her emerald eyes looked up, looking at him shyly, before looking down at her hands. "Have you.....ever felt....."
"Have I ever what?"
Before she could reply, both she and Robin looked up as Cyborg was making his way over, a serious look on his face. Robin got to his feet. "What's wrong?" he asked their friend.
"You wanna know what's wrong?" the half-android asked. "There's a situation down at the museum. On our day off! Of all the outta time, buncha.....!"
Robin shook his head slightly. "Where's Raven and Beast Boy?"
"Raven's over there meditating, and I'm pretty sure Beast Boy is trying to bug her."
"Better go get them, and we'll head over to the museum."
"But it's our day off, man!"
Robin looked at him, his arms folded over his chest.
"Alright, I'll get them." He grumbled as he walked away.
Shaking his head again, he turned to Starfire, who was still sitting on the ground. "I'm sorry. What did you want to say?"
She shook her head. "It was not important. We should get to the museum."
Nodding, he offered his hand out to her, which she smiled as she accepted his help to get to her feet.
"Come on," he said, "we'd better get going."
She nodded, following after him. 'Perhaps I'll tell him another day,' she thought a little sadly to herself.
