Hello guys! I've a new chapter again!

And before I begin I want to say something:

This is a Starfire/Robin or Kori/Richard story only. This isn't a Rachel/Richard or Garfield/Rachel or any other couple story. If you want some great fanfiction of them, please search for yourself in fanfiction dot net. There may be some other characters fall in love but Richard and Kori or Robin and Karena will stay the official couple of this fanfiction!

Chapter 10: The Promised Prom

Yoshika had visited Robin about three weeks ago. Now he was in the same class as Karena (and Robin of course, since they both have all the classes together).

Later on Karena found out his name is Xavier Monoke, but he said he preferred to be called Yoshika.

'…And this is the answer. To take an example…' The teacher explained.

'Good morning!' said a happy voice from the suddenly opened door. It was Mr. Hoffman (again).

Karena hated him since the day he canceled the prizes.

'Class, as you know it's almost Christmas and you know what this means; a once in a year Christmas prom!' he said.

'And the theme of year will be myths and historical stories!'

'Wow' Karena mumbled.

'Everyone is welcome; you can buy tickets in my office. You can dress like, for some examples: Aphrodite and Ares or Cleopatra and Caesar. Or if you like fairytale are also approve: Cinderella, Snow-white or maybe Sleeping Beauty. Just think about the possibilities!' he said happily, gave a wave, and then walked off.

The class was still very quiet. Mr. Hoffman talked so fast they couldn't merely understand he was talking about.

'What just happened?'

'I think what Mr. Hoffman was TRYING to say was that another Christmas Prom is coming up.' the teacher tried to explain.

Okay! Finally something fun is going to happen for once! Robin thought as he looked at Karena, she looked a bit sad.

Snap out of it boy, you aren't going to ask her out don't you? She's probably just sad about nobody asking her.

The rest of the day Karena was really quiet.

After school, when she opened locker she found tons of letters falling from her locker. All of them are asking her out to the prom. She just simply threw them all away.

Robin saw her doing that.

She is and will be stupid, first sad about nobody is going to ask her out, now she realize she has so many admirers she just simply throws all the letters away.

'What are you looking at?' Karena asked him when she saw him.

'You're just blocking my way.' he answered, a stony look on his face, and moved away.

-After dinner-

'Oh my god...Who should I ask? Uhm…Joyce, Maria, Kelly, Cindy or maybe that new girl Jane?' Robin said.

'You aren't going to ask any of them' Bruce said.

'Oh dad, don't tell me you aren't going to approve of this, just give me some freedom!'

'If you don't want every newspaper headline to read "Robin Wayne: Local Player, Story Inside", then go ahead. You already have a fiancée; you must respect Karena at least a little bit.'

'But what am I going to do then? Stay at home? Dad! I'm still a teenager and I want to have fun!'

'I knew you would say that, how about you ask Karena to go?'

'Her AGAIN? Why is now everything all "Karena This, Karena that"?'

'Because you promised me you would help her. Robin, you are the one who always says to me, don't judge that someone is bad or not if you don't know them. You don't know Karena at all, get to know her, maybe you two will at least become friends.'

Suddenly those little sentences came in his head again

'…She always has that silly smile…'

'…Never been to a festival before…'

'…She was always in her room…'

'…She wasn't happy…'

'…It's the truth…'

'Okay. I'll try.'

-In Karena's room-

Just when Robin wants to knock on the door, he heard someone saying something, it was Rachel's voice.

'Why don't you accept these people, I know you still love Richard. But I think you know you will never meet him again. About this forgotten love there wouldn't be an end, instead of that why don't you find a new love?'

Richard? Who is Richard? Robin thought.

'Yes, this forgotten love will never have an end, even if just a little piece of my memory of him, I will never fall in love again. My heart belongs to him, where ever he is.' Karena smiled and put her hand on her chest, feeling her heartbeat.

'Girl, you are hopeless.' Rachel said and shook her head. She stood up and saying: 'I should be going now, we have a test tomorrow.'

She opened the door and saw Robin standing there.

'Uh, what are you doing here?' Rachel asked.

'I have something to ask your mistress.'

'Ok' Rachel said and she walked away.

'Can I come in?' Robin asked Karena respectively.

'Uhm, sure, please come in.' Karena answered, and then Robin came in.

'I want to ask you, if you would want to go to the prom with me…'

'What? I didn't hear you that well...'

'I said would you like to go to the prom with me?'

'Why did you ask me? Oh, I knew it, uncle Bruce asked you, didn't he?'

'Well he did, but part of it is that I wanted to see a real smile on your face.'

Those beautiful emerald eyes, where have I seen them before?

As he came closer to look at them, at the same time, Karena was also admiring his baby blue eyes. They came closer and closer, until... they bumped into each others head.

'Aargh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?' Karena asked, she was feeling a bit dizzy herself.

'Nothing, just a bit dizzy. I'm sorry too' Robin answered.

'And about that prom part, I'll go with you.' Karena smiled when she was still feeling some dizzy and holding her head.

'Thank you.' she whispered.

'Mm? What did you said?' Robin asked.

'No, nothing, nothing at all.' She smiled.
