Chapter 16-Four Corners, Here we Come!

The titans decided to stay at the mountain site for a little while. Beast Boy and Raven were still trying to catch Robin and Starfire, but their efforts proved in vain. With Robin's fast running and Starfire's flying skills, it was practically impossible! So Beast Boy and Raven just kid of, fell in a field of flowers. Robin looked at them. "I think they're giving up, Star," he said. Beast Boy waved a white flag in the air. "Hooray!" Starfire exclaimed, "We are victorious!" Raven sat up. "But that doesn't mean we're not mad at you," she said. Beast Boy sat up and sneezed due to all the pollen in his nose. Most of the pollen flew everywhere which caused everyone to giggle. Bumblebee then came out with a plate. "We thought you guys could use a little something to eat," she began, "we're gonna leave soon. It's almost getting dark."

"Thanks mom," Beast Boy sarcastically said. Bumblebee stood up and shrunk to her bumblebee size. She flew right up to Beast Boy and punched him in the nose. She then transformed back to her normal self. "And if you think that hurt," she began, "you're a real sissy." Beast Boy rubbed his nose. "Dude, what was that for?" He asked. Bumblebee stood up with her hands on her hips. "Because, you shouldn't refer to me as your mother just for telling you it's getting dark outside." Starfire stood up. "Please friends, do not argue. We do not want a fight occurring." Robin stood up. "Starfire's right," he said. Bumblebee rolled her eyes. "You always stick up for your girlfriend," she said. Before Robin could object, Starfire put her hand on his shoulder. When Robin looked at her, her eyes seemed like she was hurt. "We have been down that road before, Robin," Starfire began, "let's not go down it again."

Then, Starfire walked back into the T.V. without a word. "Did I say something I shouldn't have?" Bumblebee asked. "Well," Raven began, "the last time Cyborg called Starfire Robin's girlfriend, they got in a fight while we were all stranded on this planet. We don't really know what happened after that, but when BB and Cyborg found them, they were in each other's arms." Bumblebee lifted her eyebrows. "Ooh la la," she said. Robin looked at them for a minute but managed a light smile. Raven now put her hand on his shoulder. "Go cheer her up," she said, "tell her how you feel."

"I'm not so sure if I can," Robin said. BB and Bumblebee sighed. "Look," Raven began, "Just at least try to, okay. Besides, you were close to kissing her twice, third time's a charm." Robin's face turned pink. "How do you know about that?" He asked her. "A magician never reveals her secrets," Raven replied. Bumblebee gave Robin a quick shove. "Go get her, tiger," she said. After Robin left, Beast Boy said, "You think he's really gonna do it?" Raven and Bumblebee slouched. "No," they said at the same time. Aqualad's head popped out from the door. "Guys, get in here!" He shouted, "we're about to leave for the four corners!" The three titans ran inside.

Starfire sat on a couch all by herself when the engine started up. To tell the truth, when Bumblebee called her Robin's girlfriend, she didn't know why she started hurting inside. "I want to be his girlfriend," she thought, "I never want to be without him but, I just do not know if Robin wants me by his side. I thought he loved me but, I am not so sure anymore. Whenever he is around me, he seems so insecure. I just wish things could be easier between us. I just wish I could tell him how I feel. But..."

At that moment, the door opened and Starfire saw Robin come in. The T.V began to move and the scenery started flying past the windows. Robin sat down next to her but she scooted away. Robin scooted closer to her but she scooted away again. This repeated until Starfire was at the very end of the couch and had no where left to scoot. "Star," Robin began, moving closer to her, "what's wrong? Why did you keep scooting away from me?" Starfire looked over at him, their faces weren't that very far apart. "If I could just get a little closer, perhaps I could...but what if he pushes me away? What if he rejects me?" Starfire thought. She didn't want to even think of the events that would happen if Robin rejected her. "Um," Starfire began, "I just wanted to think in private about some things."

Outside the door, all the titans, except for Cyborg were listening in. "I still say this isn't a good idea," Terra said. "Don't sweat it," Aqualad told her. "We just wanna see if Robin will make his move." Terra was still unsure but kept listening in. "Let's just hope he will make his move," Speedy said. The titans all nodded.

"You know you can always talk to me about anything," Robin said. "Anything?" Starfire asked. Robin nodded. "Okay, well, whenever I have my period every month I..." Robin interrupted her. "Whoa!" He said, "Almost anything! Not those type of things!" Starfire chuckled a little bit. "You are always so insecure and hard to deal with," Starfire said. "I am not hard to deal with!" Robin said. Starfire looked over at him. "You never tell us anything," Starfire began, "you are always keeping to yourself! When you became the Red X, you could've at least told us to pretend we did not know!"

"It would've been better if you didn't know." Robin said. "No, it would've been better if you did! Then you would have never become Slade's apprentice!" Starfire exclaimed. Robin smiled over at her. Starfire's eyes widened as she thought how he was happy at a time like that. "You're right," Robin said, "I would have never become his apprentice and..." he took her hands, "and I would've never had to hurt you." Starfire's eyes shone. Robin let go of her hands and walked over to the window. "And then, if I never hurt you, I would never have all this pain inside of me. The pain of hurting you and the others. The pain of..." Robin stopped as images of two falling acrobats appeared in his mind. He pushed it away. Starfire walked over to him and looked up into his mask. "You do not need to feel that pain anymore," she said, "I'm here and I am perfectly fine." Robin wrapped her into an embrace. "Starfire," he said, he rested his head on top of hers. "I could've really hurt you back there," he said. "You could've, yes," Starfire began, "but you didn't. And, in the end, we all made it out safe." They both closed their eyes, breathing the moment in.

"Is this love?" Starfire thought. She nuzzled his chest and listened to his heart beat. "I hope so."

"Starfire, look," Robin began, "there's something I need to say." But at that moment, they heard something crash outside the door. Starfire sighed as Robin left her arms and walked to the door. "Hi guys," he said, "what do you think you're doing?" Beast Boy smiled. "Well, you and Star spied on us. We were just returning the favor," he said. "And now we're gonna start running," Aqualad said. As soon as he said it, the titans went running. Robin sighed. Another moment ruined. Raven wanted Robin to tell Star his feelings, but how could he do that with everyone spying on him?

Starfire walked over to him. "There will be a time," she told him. Before she headed to bed, she gave him a kiss on the cheek and then walked away. Robin rubbed the spot where she had kissed him. "One of these days, Starfire," he thought, "I promise you. But in the meantime, four corners here we come!"
