Me: I decided to update early so that you didn't have to wait 'til Monday. This I'm sorry to say will be kind of short, but it's a pretty good chapter all the same. Leave a review after you read.

Robin's POV:

"Robin?"

I turned around and I came face to face with Starfire.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"It was from your distress howl," Starfire said. "We were not far away and we came to assist you."

"Thanks guys," I said. "It means a lot to me."

"Well… I guess this means good-bye… again," Beast Boy said.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Good-bye Robin," Raven said.

"Take care man," Cyborg said.

Starfire came up in front of me and she gave me a hug.

"I will miss you friend."

They turned around and they started to leave and tears streamed down my face.

"I'll never forget you," I whispered.

Slade's POV: 'It's a funny thing friendship. You think you'll have it forever, but when it's gone…'

As I watched them go, I realized what I had to do. I couldn't keep him here forever, even if I wanted to. There would be a time when you had to let everything go and my time was now.

"Robin, I know now that I can't keep you here and because of this, I'm going to let go."

He turned around and he gave me a confused look.

"What?"

"I've been blinded by my own selfish greed and I've paid dearly for it," I said. "If one of us were to die, we'd both die. We'd be reborn again, but instead we'll be the thing we most fear. We would not remember ourselves as wolves and we would hate one another. I don't want this to happen Robin, but I don't want you to be trapped here forever either. I know now that you're more than an Apprentice to me and I am more than a Master to you. You are my son, my family, but most importantly my friend. When we are reborn again, we can never remember who we once were and we will never remember who we once loved. I will not remember you as my friend and that is what I fear. Those are your friends and you belong with them. I was wrong this whole time. You will always need friends. I will never forget you in this time and I hope you won't forget me."

Robin started crying again and it was mixing in with the rain.

"I'll never forget you," he said at last. "I'll always remember how much you cared. This whole time you really cared and I'll never forget that."

I smiled and tears came down my one lonely eye to mix in with the rain and with Robin's. Robin smiled and he turned and ran after his friends.

"Robin, we are so much alike, but in the end… we're completely different."

Good-bye… Robin.

Robin's POV:

Good-bye… Slade.

We were so much alike, but in the end… we were completely different.

My friends and I ran towards the horizon together and I would never forget him... And he'd never forget me.

I was finally free.
