Hehehehehehehehe! LoL… Anyway, this is the last chapter and there is only an epilog left… I am very happy yet very sad. This story was a huge hit and I hope I can make my other fics as good or better. You were all my first audience… And I thank you so much for being that. Anyway, without me getting all sentimental (guess it's kind of late for that, huh?) we will move on to the almost finale. The quote below was made by a passed friend of mine, ( It goes along with the chapter so I thought I'd stick it in there.

A Beautiful Quote- Sometimes you've just got to suck it up, or you might spend the rest of you're life thinking about how great things could've been instead of thinking about how great things are…

Chapter 28- Confessions of a Teenage Wonder

"We're here!" Beast Boy ran up to the Big Wheel and yelled at the man.

"The Titans'?" he asked, looking down at a slip of paper from his pocket.

"That's us…" Cyborg told him. The man took the toothpick out of his mouth and looked at them oddly.

"Really?" he asked again, arching an eyebrow.

"How can you mistake us?" Raven asked. "He's green, he's half robot, I have purple eyes, and she's an alien…" Raven pointed all around.

"I guess you're right…" he sighed. "Climb aboard, 3 to one seat and 2 to another… The fireworks are about to start." Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg all climbed into one of the seats. Robin and Starfire waited for the next and then climbed in. Robin took a deep breath. 'It's okay, just tell her!' he screamed at himself.

"I am most thrilled! The works of fire were so much fun last time!" Starfire clapped her hands. Her eyes were sparkling a magnificent green against the darkened sky. Robin exhaled, trying to calm down.

"Ya, they're really… nice…" he lost his thought and couldn't think of a better word. He scratched the back of his neck in nervousness. "So… I'm glad you had a really good time this weekend…"

"I am most pleased you decided to let us have a break… It has been… breathtaking for me…" she answered back. "And how has your time been?"

"Wonderful… I've um… had a great time."

"What was your favorite part?" she glanced at him innocently. Robin gulped. He didn't like having eyes boring into him, especially her eyes.

"I don't know… I guess I liked all of it…" he shrugged.

"I am glad…" she smiled. The first firework was launched into the air. "Oh they are starting!" she leaned over so she could rest her arms on the front of their seats. Robin smiled contently and watched the magnificent colors spread across the clear sky. Brilliant pinks and greens and whites exploded, disturbing the quiet of the peaceful night. Down below people had stopped to watch also. Looking across the cold and slightly churning lake a few sailboats could be seen in the distance. Perfect, absolutely in every way perfect. That's what this was…

"Oh they are so magnificent! Look at that one! It is shaped like a star!" Robin's smile grew.

"Look at that one Star!" Robin leaned over too. "It's shaped like a…" when he realized what he was about to say he stopped. He was about to say…

"A heart!" she clapped. "These are brilliant…" she sighed, settling down and enjoying the scenery. Little did she know she was the scenery for one person. "They are so beautiful…"

"So are you…" Robin whispered so quietly the girl next to him couldn't hear. It was time to tell her… Somehow…'

OoOo

"Man these are sweet!" Cyborg hollered into the night, punching a fist into the air.

"You think that view's sweet… Look down there…" Beast Boy grinned pointing below him to the mesmerized Robin and Starfire, one at the fireworks and one at the person sitting next to them. Raven snickered.

"That plan worked out pretty well…" she grinned.

"Yep, sure did. Who's the genius now?" Cyborg asked.

"Well not all of it was your idea! I helped too ya know!" Beast Boy squinted and raised his voice to a shout.

"Chill man, I was just messin' with ya… Mostly…" Cyborg turned his attention back to the display in front of him. Beast Boy snorted indignantly but looked back to the beauty just beyond him also. Raven's attention was somewhat preoccupied with reading someone's mind…

'Tell her you idiot! What are you waiting for!" Robin scolded himself.

'A better time…' he answered calmly back.

"You honestly think you're going to get a better time than this?" he replied sarcastically.

'I agree with whatever that side of you is…"

'Get out of here Raven! I… How long have you been listening?'

'Long enough to know you are a total moron.'

'Okay then…'

'Robin you are not seriously telling me you're afraid that Starfire will reject you are you? I mean it's so obvious that she's absolutely in love with you…' Raven rolled her eyes mentally.

'It's not as easy as it looks on T.V. okay… Why don't you go and confess your feelings for Beast Boy if it's so simple?'

'I do not have feelings for Beast Boy!'

'Surrrrrrrrrreee you don't…'

'Was I talking to you?'

'Technically…'

'Oh shut up… Just get on with it Robin, you're boring me…' with that she fled his mind and returned to watching the fireworks.

"Robin it is the grand finale!" Starfire stated excitedly, pointing toward the lit up sky. A gigantic explosion of bright colors mixed with orange and black lit up their faces as they smiled happily. When it was over the two teens turned to face each other.

"Worth the wait?" Robin asked the star struck girl.

"Oh most definitely! It was marvelous! Only one thing could make this any better!" she burst out not thinking in all her jovial joy.

"Could I help you with that one thing?" he quirked an eyebrow, wondering what it was.

"Hehe… I… Um…" Starfire turned as red as a clown's fake nose and turned the other way. Robin looked even more curious now then ever.

"Starfire… Are you okay?" he questioned, caringly.

"I am fine!" she exclaimed, turning back around.

"Ooookaaayy…" he wondered if it had been something he said and scratched at the back of his neck again.

'What are you trying to prove? Just tell him!'

'That may endanger our wonderful friendship…'

'You want so much more than friendship…What if he does too? Are you going to spend your lives pretending like you're fine with being just friends?'

Starfire bit her lip as the car they were in came to a stop at the bottom of the ride. She got out cautiously. What was she going to do?

"Starfire I was wondering if you would talk to me… alone for a second…" Robin squinted nervously to see her reaction.

"Of course Robin, I always have time for you…" she spoke quietly since the others were getting off now.

"We're just gonna go back to the room now. Me and BB might go for a little swim if you want us…" Cyborg told the two, seeing that they needed a moment. Robin mouthed a thank you to him as the others walked away. He nodded back and continued walking.

"What is it you wish to speak about?" Starfire asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Honestly I really wanted to um… talk about… well… you see… I've had this on my mind for a… a long… long time now…" Robin took a deep breath and spat it all out. "IwanttotalkaboutusStarfire!"

"Um… What?" Starfire asked, quirking an eyebrow in confusion.

"I said I want to talk about us…" he mumbled, not really wanting to repeat it again.

"What about "us". We are best friends are we not?" the girl questioned, worried that he might be mad at her for something.

"Well… yes…. But I…" he paused. This was even harder than he had thought it would be… and he thought it would be deadly.

"Yes?"

"I sort of…"

"You may tell me whatever you wish Robin. I will not tell anyone else. Is something wrong?" her face turned to one of concern.

"Not really… I'm fine, I guess…" he winced. He really just needed to say it.

"That is exceptional news… But why are you sweating and looking so frightened then?"

"Heh… Well… Starfire we've known each other a long time and you know how when we met I said I was being nice and all that stuff?" he questioned, stalling.

"Yes, you were most kind after what I did to you…" the girl turned slightly red in remembering.

"Well, that's not really the point, what you did then I mean…" he scratched at the back of his neck. "You've been so nice to me after how I've acted about Slade and um… other things… In fact you're the only one that stayed with me for a long time there… I just wanted to thank you… And tell you that, I… actually…. I really… love you…" he mumbled out the last part, half hoping she wouldn't hear. Her eyes lit up and he glanced down at the ground.

"The only reason I stayed with you through all that is because I love you…" she whispered into his ear. She pulled his chin up to her face with her index finger. Slowly they moved towards each other.

'Told you so…' a voice played in Robin's head just as their lips meant. It was a sweet kiss, one upon the lips that lasted a few seconds before they broke apart. But to them, seconds felt like an eternity, and it was enough, for the moment.

"I have waited a long time for that moment…" Starfire told her new boyfriend, pulling him close to her in a hug.

"Me too Star… Me too…" he sighed, almost not believing it.

"Shall we tell the others?" she asked, pulling back.

"Not quite yet… We'll tell them when we get back to the tower… For now, you wanna get a pretzel and cheese?" he asked, just wanting to spend time with this beautiful young woman. She nodded and smiled lightly in return.

OoOo

"Did you get it?" Beast Boy asked from behind his crouching spot in the bush.

"Oh yea baby, every bit!" Cyborg stood up and brushed off his knees.

"You two are terrible…" Raven grinned.

"Hey, you decided to stay!" Beast Boy pointed accusingly at the goth.

"I wasn't going to miss that. Not after how long it took…"

"Good point…"

"Boy will they get a surprise when they see that smooch on tape!" Cyborg laughed hysterically.

OoOo

"Oh yes and that time when we were on the Ferris Wheel!" Starfire burst. "You did not hear me did you?" she questioned.

"Nope, wish I had though. It would have made things easier if I'd known all this stuff before…"

"Was there ever a time when you said something I could have missed?"

"I was about to say something when we were on that planet and the monster interrupted us…" he laughed.

"I had a feeling… And I really wanted to hurt it then…" she smiled.

"I did too for it interrupting me when I finally had the guts to say something. But part of me still thought it might have been for the best…"

"All that matters is we know now." Starfire dipped her pretzel into the cheese again.

OoOo

Sniffle…. Well, there you have it. I wasn't really sure how I wanted the kiss to go but I think I did it in a way that was best for me. I didn't want to get to descriptive, since this after all is rated K+ but, I'm also only 13 so it would have been hard for me to describe a kiss when it's with someone you love that way. I obviously have never experienced it. What did you guys think of it?
