Kiss the Girl

"These are angelfish." The raven haired boy pointed out the colorful fish to the red-headed alien beside him. "And those white ones, the ones that are coming from under the sand, those are sunfish."

Robin looked across the rowboat at Starfire, who was peering excitedly over the edge. An ecstatic smile was covering her face as the Boy Wonder told her about the different species of fish that lived on the reef surrounding the Titan's Island. Robin watched the crimson beauty with a small smile creeping onto his lips.

Percussion

A light shower of rain, barely felt, fell from the blue-gray sky.

Strings

Somewhere on the island, crickets began playing their miniature violins.

Winds

A light breeze began blowing across the reeds on the beach close to where the rowboat drifted, making them whistle softly.

Words

Starfire sensed she was being watched and turned to Robin, who quickly looked back down into the darkening water. After a moment Robin returned his stare to the Tamaranian princess, unable to keep his gaze off her for much time.

There you see her

Sitting there across the way

She don't got a lot to say

But there's something about her

And you don't know why

But you're dying to try

You wanna kiss the girl

Robin's thoughts turned to more than just Starfire's beauty.

Yes, you want her

Look at her, you know you do

Possible she wants you too

There is one way to ask her

It don't take a word

Not a single word

Go on and kiss the girl

As she turned to face him he leaned forward ever so slightly.

Sing with me now

Robin suddenly pulled back thinking: Oh, I can't do it! I may be able to fight psychotic villains, but I can't kiss the girl of my dreams! He was thoroughly disgusted with himself.

Shalalalalalalah

My oh my

Look like the boy too shy

Ain't gonna kiss the girl

Shalalalalalalah

Ain't that sad

Ain't it a shame? Too bad

He gonna miss the girl

While Starfire was watching Robin look at everything but her, the small boat floated into a tiny, willow-covered inlet on the island.

Now's your moment

Floating in a blue lagoon

Boy ya' better do it soon

No time will be better

Starfire only smiled sweetly as Robin once again turned his gaze to her.

She don't say a word

And she won't say a word

Until you kiss the girl

Robin tried to summon up his courage the way he did in a fight, but it seemed that the greater forces wanted him to do this on his own.

Shalalalalalalah

Don't be scared

You got the mood prepared

Go on and kiss the girl

The normally, Boy Wonder finally decided to wait a while longer before he did the daring deed.

Shalalalalalalah

Don't stop now

Don't try to hide it how

You wanna kiss the girl

Robin and Starfire floated along, listening to the music that the night had brought with it.

Shalalalalalalah

Float along

And listen to this song

The song say kiss the girl

Robin again leaned closer to Starfire and this time she leaned towards him too. No going back now, Robin thought resolutely.

Shalalalalalalah

The music play

Do what the music say

You gotta kiss the girl

They moved towards one another slowly. One jump, he thought, just one big jump across this gap.

You got to

Kiss the girl

They shifted slightly forward again.

You wanna

Kiss the girl

They moved closer until they were a few inches from one another's nose.

You gotta

Kiss the girl

Their faces were millimeters apart now.

Go on and

Kiss the girl

And in one fluid movement the distance was closed and their lips met. The kiss lasted just a few moments, but each of them remembered it feeling like eons.

Though unbeknownst to them, Robin and Starfire had a witness to their first kiss. But as that friend ducked back into the secret passage he knew he would never tell anyone about what he had just seen. Not only would he probably endure large amounts of physical pain, but this was Robin and Starfire's special moment and Beast Boy would gladly be tortured 'till death before he told anyone. And after death was only if he told the secret at all.
