LoL, omg, thank you all sooo very much for the wonderful reviews. I love you all. –throws free hugs all around-

Well, this chapter took some of my time because I was working on my vocabulary and extending it a notch above the level it usually is. I also went descriptive with detail hoping to make it sound more interesting. So if it instead sounds confusing, then let me know. But I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

And a warning to all you readers and fluff fanatics. The angst and tragedy begins in either the next chapter or the chapter following it. I tried to bring it in earlier so that I can end it faster as well. So be prepared for the tears you guys, be prepared.


Chapter 5- You're my cure

She sat on the rooftop admiring the late sunset, visualizing her boyfriend's face in place of the sun. His smile stretched from one cheek to the next and once his eyes caught with hers he threw her a slight wink. But soon his face disappeared. Her smile faded as the sun hid behind the ocean ahead, and she sighed. She was finally granted the opportunity to call him her boyfriend and on her first night the boy wonder caught a dreadful cold. Was it truly her fault that this unpleasant mistake occurred? No, it couldn't have been. She had warned him to leave before an incident as such occurred. But why was she thinking hard about this? It is only a cold and with the treatment she had given him earlier he should wake up good as new and even better in the morning. Perhaps she should go inside and check on him before heading back to her room to get an early rest. She promised she wouldn't leave him before he was completely healed but now that he had been sleeping for quite a while there was no point in her staying to watch him. But a commitment is a commitment so she must return to at least check on the boy wonder.

"Starfire? What are you doing up here alone?"

Her train of thought had been interrupted by a familiar voice. She turned around quickly only to notice her friend Raven waiting for her reply.

"Raven," Starfire smiled, glad to see her friend after such a long day. "How have you been, friend? I have not seen you all day."

"Probably because you were in Robin's room all day," Raven replied, later on applying a smile and sitting next to the girl on the edge of the tower.

"Oh, I am sorry. It is just that Robin had caught a cold and I was merely trying to-"

"It's ok Starfire. Beast boy and Cyborg told me what happened, I was only kidding."

"Kidding? I do not recall the last time you were kidding unless it was about Beast boy," she said laughing.

Raven blushed. "Ok, so tell me again why you're up here."

"I was just watching the sun as it set. Robin had fallen asleep and I did not want to disturb him."

"Well, the sun's gone now so are you planning on heading inside?"

"Yes. I will stop by Robin's room first to make sure he is still sleeping then I will be heading to bed early."

"Are you going to tell me how your date with Robin went, or do you prefer to go to sleep and wait till tomorrow?"

Starfire blushed. "I am sorry Raven. If I had not been distracted with Robin today I would have come to you first of all my dear friends to tell you about the extraordinary news. But I will be glad to tell you what we had done now."

Starfire went on to describe her date to her friend and after hearing the humorous detail of Robin's attempt to try and tell Starfire how he felt, Raven couldn't help but smile and let out a sly chuckle. Throughout the rest of the story the smile on Raven's face hadn't left its spot. It made her wonder how life would be like with love. Too bad she couldn't take the risk to find out.


His eyes slowly opened only to see the bright face of the beautiful alien girl. She sat next to him with the most joyous and gorgeous smile he had ever seen. What a lovely way to wake up in the morning, if only it could be like this everyday.

"Starfire?" He sat up on his bed to see Starfire on the edge waiting for those ocean blue eyes to open underneath his mask. Although a little surprised to see her, a smile still formed on his face. "What are you doing here so early?"

"I am waiting for you to awaken so I may tell you the great news."

"What news?" He asked, curiously.

"Your fever, it has disappeared and you are no longer heated up," she took his hand and placed it on his forehead. "See?"

He chuckled realizing she was right. His body also was doing much better. Him, in general felt great; better than ever. "You're right Star," he said, placing his hand back on his lap. "I feel great. I can't remember the last time I woke up so relaxed and energetic."

"Perhaps it is because you tire yourself staying up very late and working too hard?"

"That or maybe you're just a great nurse," he replied, smirking.

Starfire giggled. "Do you feel you will be able to train today Robin, or do you wish to stay in your room to continue your rest? I believe it is completely up to you."

Robin smiled. "Are you kidding me? If I stay in here any longer I'll get sick of boredom. Let's go train," he smirked and grabbed her hand to pull her out the door. Then he paused. "Oh, hold up, let me rinse out first," he added, a little embarrassed, and walked into his bathroom. Starfire stood by his door chuckling.


"BOOOYYAAHHH!" Shouted Cyborg, crashing with full force into a long, metal wall standing in front of him. His mechanical hand cracking it in two and he ran through to continue on to the next ones awaiting his arrival.
A loud eagle screech came from the sky and soon Beast boy appeared dodging flying disks chasing after his angle. He soon transformed into a Tyrannosaurus rex and the disks crashed into his leg causing no damaged what-so-ever to Beast boy. He then converted into normal human form and dusted his hands off with a smile on his face; eyes closed. Suddenly as he opened his eyes he saw more disks aiming towards him. A feminine screech escaped his mouth and he quickly ran as if his life depended on it.
"Azoraph, Metrion, Zinthos," unlike the other two Titans, Raven was meditating and utilizing control over her body; physically, mentally, and emotionally. "Azoraph, Metrion, Zinthos."
CRASH! A huge, standing log went with full force to the ground due to the cause of an enormous back flip from the boy wonder after an attempt of many punches and kicks before. He continued running to knock all 3 logs standing ahead of him.
"Huuaahhhhh!" Yelled Starfire, after shooting a massive star bolt at a target in front of her. Causing it to burn to ashes and letting what was left of it to fall to the ground. Ahead of her stood six more targets just waiting to catch in on the action that happened seconds ago to a fellow target of theirs.
Their training course continued until there was nothing left on the field to destroy. All the Titans met up where they started, out of breath.

"Phew, now that's what I call training," Cyborg exclaimed.

"Good workout Titans. Let's head inside. Raven, can you lock down the field?" Robin asked.

"Sure," she replied, walking up to the control center.


"So what's the plan for today? Go out and buy pizza, watch a movie, play video games, chill at the park?" Cyborg asked.

All the Titans sat in the main room on the couches, excluding Starfire who was in the kitchen cooking… something.

"Umm…" Robin took a quick glance at Starfire, who seemed distracted with what she was cooking as the pot boiled rapidly, then leaned over to whisper to the others. "I was actually planning on taking Starfire out on a special date today. Just the two of us," and he sat back in his normal position.

"Well that's no fun. What are we supposed to do while you two are out prancing around the city making out?"

"Ssshhhh!" Yelled Cyborg and Robin.

"Ignore him. You two go out and have fun. We'll figure something out to do. Until then we crush you in a game of Battle Blitz. Cyborg and Beast boy against Robin and whoever he chooses."

"That's not fair, you know that Raven doesn't play games and Starfire's busy cooking… something…" Robin protested.

"Oh well Robin. You could always play alone," Cyborg replied.

Robin shot him a look of annoyance. "Give me that controller."

Cyborg tossed him the controller and he took a seat next to them in front of the large, flat screen TV. "Ok, Robin verses Beast boy and Cyborg, you're on!" He exclaimed.

The boys began the rough road to victory as they put force on their controllers pressing hard on the buttons and swinging their hands in continuous directions. Raven went on to read her book and Starfire continued her cooking. The day went smoothly and the time for the surprise date soon arrived.


"Calm down man, I can hear your heart beat from here," Cyborg exclaimed, watching Robin nervously motion back and forth in his room. He was dressed in a black tux with a black and white stripe tie, black heel dress shoes, and his hair was spiked back. Pretty fancy for a date. Cyborg and Beast boy sat on his bed watching him change directions continuously.

"I can't calm down Cyborg. This is our first 'official' date. Not like the other day when we just went to the park. I'm taking her out for lunch then we're gonna go the beach to watch the sunset. I heard her say how much she loved watching the sunset and what better than the beach? I just can't mess this up."

"Dude, you wont mess it up, just please sit down, you're making me dizzy!" Beast boy exclaimed.

Robin leaned against the wall and slid to a position in which his knees were up and resting on his chest and he dropped his face into his lap.

"Why are you making this so hard on yourself?" Cyborg asked, standing up and walking to him. He extended a hand for him to grab. Robin looked up to notice he was right in front of him. "Come on, just get up and relax," he took his hand and stood to his feet. Cyborg dusted off his tux and straightened his tie. "Ok, you told Raven to tell Starfire to get dressed for a special occasion, right?"

"Yea."

"Alright, you're fine then. As soon as Starfire walks through the door, just take her by the hand and head towards the restaurant. From there take her to the beach, watch the sunset, then head back here. How hard could that be?"

Silence.

"I guess you're right," he finally replied.

"Of course I'm right, I'm always right. Right Beast boy?"

Beast boy shot him an annoyed glare then sensed Cyborg's expression and quickly said, "Whatever."

"See, now let's go to the main room before your date arrives and you're not there."

The 3 Titans walked out of the room and headed towards the main room.


"Raven, are you sure this is not too… revealing?" Starfire asked, standing out in the hall in front of the door to the main room. Her dress didn't show just yet, only her face.

"Don't worry Starfire, when Robin sees this he'll be drooling all over you."

"Drooling all over me?" She quoted Raven. "But I do not wish to-"

Raven cut her off. "Starfire, it's just an expression. Calm down, you'll be fine. And your dress is fine. Just walk in there, act casual, smile, and walk out of here quickly before I get sick of all this love spreading around the tower."

Starfire took a deep breath and the door to the main room opened. Robin sat on a stool his back facing the door and Cyborg and Beast boy sat across of him on the edge of the couches. Their eyes widened at the sight of Starfire's entrance. Robin questioned their expressions and turned around to catch what they were glancing at. Soon his expression imitated theirs and his jaw dropped as low as it could go. She was dressed in a bright red, strapless dress that revealed part of her upper chest, causing it to stand out the most. The dress stretched down to her knees where one end cut off and the other continued down just above her ankle. She had on an ankle bracelet in which Raven suggested she wear. 'It'll attract Robin's eyes and your legs will stand out', were her exact words. And her sandals were a fade of red. The straps tied around her ankles. She had on a heart pendant and a matching bracelet along with matching, dangling heart earrings. Starfire blushed afraid she was right about her dress being to revealing.

"I… I understand from your expressions," she said, disappointed, and turned around to walk out almost in tears. When she suddenly felt a hand grabbing her arm.

"What are you talking about Starfire?" She turned around and noticed Robin holding her arm. "You look- I mean you're- wow. Starfire, you look so… beautiful," he let his hand down. She blushed and a smile formed on her face.

"You look incredible too, Robin," Starfire complemented. They stood to admire one another until Cyborg, Beast boy and Raven grew tired and pushed them both out the door.

"Ok you two love birds. Enough drooling and get moving. I don't think the rest of us want to watch you guys drool over each other. Have fun on your date," Cyborg said. And he closed the door in front of them.

"Ok... glad that was over, who wants some tofu?" Beast boy asked.

Cyborg sighed and Raven rolled her eyes. Both Titans walked away from him and to the couch.

"Fine, more tofu for me," he ran to the kitchen.


The roar of a motorcycle's engine ran through the streets of Jump City. Robin and Starfire, holding on to Robin's waist, drove down a street filled with adults and children running around and enjoying the beautiful weather. Starfire kept all her attention on Robin, smiling as she did so.

"Robin, where are you taking us?" She shouted over the noise of the engine and through her helmet. Both titans were wearing helmets for safety purposes.

"On a date," he replied, sarcastically.

She chuckled. "I am aware of that, but where is this date?"

"You'll see Starfire, you'll see."

She sat anxiously waiting for their arrival on this 'surprise' date. While she waited she admired the children around her and wondered how it would be like to have her own kids. Then she realized she was still too young to be thinking about stuff like that.

Meanwhile, Robin's focus stayed on the road but his mind kept drifting off to Starfire, every once in a while he looked back to steal a quick glance of her. All he could think about is her reaction to the date, hoping it would be good and nothing bad.

Lets just hope this goes as planned. Robin said to himself, and they continued down the streets.


Well, I hope you guys liked it. I needed to bring in at least some action into this so I hope that's good for you guys. And as always, R&R please!

Edit: I've been asked in the reviews if I could draw how Starfire looks in that red dress and the answer is yes. I will try and get the drawing up as soon as I can. Hopefully it'll help you guys out.
