Okay. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for the long wait. I've been mega busy. I'm back now though, and on summer vacation. I'll be updating quickly now. Oh, and I wrote another one-shot. Its aight, so I'll appreciate it of you read it! Oh, and this is definitely the most emotional chapter, but it is not the last one. There still about three chapters!
Disclaimer: If I owned them, would I really be sitting here, listening to music and writing a fanfic? No.

It had been 7 months since he walked out of their lives. 7 long, hard months. Starfire was still having trouble. She knew he was coming back, but her heart was breaking with every red rose that came. The red of the petals was longer keeping her satisfied. She cried every night and was starting to go crazy. She didn't know why she wasn't happy. It was probably because it had been many a month since the fight with Ivy and he still hadn't come home. He really had given up his passion. And it wasn't that he didn't know he could come home, no, everyone on the continent knew. She dragged herself out of bed, past the large collection of roses and out her door to breakfast.
She could get through another couple of days, but then she was going to have to go find him.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
In Optimus City, Dick was having the same problem as Star. He was growing tired of being away from her. This was the exact reason why he was currently wasting his only off day in a loans office trying to take out a loan for a house on a hill.
"I know you've been here for nearly 7 hours now, Mr. Grayson, but all I need know is your signature on this piece of paper and we'll get you your loan" Said an amazingly short man as he shoved a paper at Richard.
Dick signed the paper, not bothering to read and got up to leave. He had wasted his whole day here. He still had to go to Jump City and the real-estate agent. He boarded his motorcycle and rode off to the city that held his heart and his love captive.

It had been a rather boring day at the tower. No one attacked and everyone was busy. Raven finally walked into Ops and sat next to Star. "So, what have you been up to all day?" Questioned Raven.
"Oh, I have been watching the television friend. How was your day? Did you have fun with friend Beast Boy?" Starfire interrogated Raven.
At this comment Raven blushed and replied Star, he was just helping me organize my books, it was nothing. It's not like I like him or anything."
"Oh, if you 'don't like him' then why are you doing the blushing? Hmmmmmmmmm?" Starfire asked questioningly.
"Soooooooo…how are you feeling today, cause you know, 7 whole moths since…" Raven felt awkward changing the subject to this, but she actually cared.
"Oh, well, I am fine, thank you"
Starfire paled and walked off to her room, leaving Raven alone with her tea. Beast Boy walked in and sat next to her.
"So, do you think she'll be okay?" he asked
"Yes, beast Boy, I think she'll be just find." Answered Raven with a small knowing smile on her lips.

------- One Month Later -------
Dick sped through the town. He had just filled the last of the paper work and owned the house. He couldn't believe it! He was going to buy the furniture, have it arranged and by the end of the week, he could go for Starfire! He was going to be with her! She would come home with him. He was pulled out of his trance as he saw the furniture store looming ahead of him.
He walked through the aisles of furniture behind a salesman. He randomly pointed to expensive things that looked semi-interesting. He had bout a houseful of furniture in just under three hours. "So, how soon can I have this arranged in my house?" Dick asked the wide man ahead of him.
"Well, normally it would take about three days, but we just had a cancellation, so we can do it in, oh, about two hours."
Dick couldn't believe it. Two hours. He would have a house together by nightfall. He could get Kori that night!
"So, just sign here, and we'll see you at 3 o'clock this afternoon."
Dick snapped out of his trance when he noticed the large man talking.
"Oh, ya, sure, how much is it that I owe you?" Dick pulled out his wallet and took out a couple thousand dollars. "Will this cover it?"
The portly man looked at the money and almost grabbed it out of Dick's hands. "Oh of course sir. See you tonight!"
The man waddled away and Dick just stared and shook his head. He realized he had to find a white rose for that night and rushed out of the shop.
Later, Dick arrived back on the ground outside of the tower. It was about 11 o'clock and no sound came from the Tower except for Star's shower. Dick situated himself against his black bike and waited, looking at the illuminated window. He felt just like Romeo looking for Juliet.

Later that night
There had been another messy fight with Plamus and Kori felt disgusting. She took about three showers and stepped out of her bathroom and into her room about two hours later. As she was walking towards her vanity while drying her hair, something caught the corner of her eye. She froze and then turned slowly. Her heart stopped and then resumed beating very quickly. There, on her window sill sat a single white rose and a formal white-gold envelope. The towel drying her hair fell to floor, forgotten, and Kori walked cautiously over to the rose. Kori picked the letter up with trembling hands. The envelope floated gently to the ground and Kori unfolded the paper. It was very short, only two words, but those words made her heart fly. All that was printed on the letter was 'look down.' Kori carefully leaned out her window and had to cover her mouth to prevent the gasp form escaping her ruby lips. There, leaning on a black motorcycle, is the most handsome, ebony haired boy Kori had ever seen. His piercing blue eyes but through the darkness and Kori could see the love that filled them along with his smile. Her breath caught in her throat when she realized it was her Robin, her Richard Grayson staring up at her. She through herself down at him without a second thought. He caught her gently and put her down on the ground next to him. She looked at him, squealed out of excitement and through herself at him, crushing her lips to his. She pulled back and laughed happily. Tears streamed down her face. She had never been so happy in her life. Any doubt of the others affection that loomed on the lovers minds disappeared with the kiss. Kori choked back more tears as she stuttered out "I've missed you soooooooo much. Don't you ever leave me again!"
"Shhhhh Kori, I'll never leave you. Ever." With this Dick got down on one knee and pulled out a beautiful diamond ring. "Koriand'r of Tamaran, will you marry me? Will you promise never to leave me and love me forever? Will you swear to God and X'hal to stay by my side forever?"
Kori was speechless. Her mouth fell agape and she nodded smally. Once she found her voice, she screamed YES and lunged for him. She caught him in a bone crushing hug that sent them both rolling down the grassy side of the tower island.
Kori's stuff was soon all loaded onto the bike. Kori stared at the beautiful ring on her slender left ring finger. She felt a warm hand grab her own and she looked up into the face of her true love. "We have to go now. Did you leave the letter explaining everything?"
Kori smiled and nodded as she allowed herself to be led away. She would always let him lead her. She giggled as she saw her hand in her fiancé's. She thought it was funny how the last time they had seen each other in person, they had been simply best friends, and now they were engaged. No matter how funny Kori thought it was, she knew that she would never regret it. She was hand in hand, on a bike with her one true love and she couldn't be any happier.
And so, the boy, now a little older, once again sped away from the city, only this time with a beautiful young woman clinging to him and a smile on his face. He knew they'd be together now, forever.
