Althernate Endings to Rob/Star Dedicated Episodes

Okay, here's the one for an alternate "Date With Destiny" ending. For some reason, whenever I try to picture them doing their dance on the boat, its always to that song "I Will Be Right Here Waiting For You". I don't know why, but it just seems to fit with Rob/Star. So just go with that.

"I guess one more dance won't kill me." Robin said with a smile. Starfire also smiled and put out her hand to him. Robin took it and led her to the center of the dance floor. And they danced.

Back at the tower, the Titans were turning in for the night. Robin and Starfire were alone in the living room, sitting on the couch.

"Robin, tell me. You did not form any special attachment to that Kitten girl, did you?" Starfire asked anxiously.

Robin smiled at her and shook his head. "No Star. I didn't enjoy any part of that. Well, most of it. I did enjoy... uh, heh, that dance at the end. With you." he said nervously, blushing.

Starfire blushed as well. "Yes. I very much enjoyed the dancing with you as well."

Raising his eyebrows, Robin stood up and held out his hand. "Care for another dance?"

Starfire's mouth hung open in surprise, but she took Robin's hand and stood up regardless. "But, we have no music."

Robin grinned. "That's okay. I memorized part of that song."

Starfire giggled that wonderful giggle of hers and smiled. "Very well. Let us dance."

They began to dance around the living room, gazing into each other's eyes, well, she gazing into his mask, anyway. Robin sang to her the whole time. Unfortunately, all he had memorized was the corus, and so he contiued to sing that part over and over.

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you."

Starfire did not care that he was repeating the words over and over, as the lyrics simply passed over her. Her attention was on the dance and on Robin's hands in hers and nothing else. She did not know why, but she was in heavenly bliss.

Finally stopping, Robin stepped back. "I guess we should go to bed now. It's late."

Starfire nodded. Continuing to hold one another's hand, the two walked into the hallway. Robin decided to walk Starfire to her room. Coming to a stop outside her door, Starfire opened it and prepared to step inside, but then turned back to Robin.

"Thank you for the wonderful dance, Robin. Both of them." she said, smiling and blushing.

Robin pulled at his collar in sudden, unexplained nervousness. "Uh, it was my pleasure. Completely."

For some reason, this sent a shiver down Starfire's spine, hearing that Robin had enjoyed dancing with her just as much as she had enjoyed dancing with him. She did not understand why this would feel nice, but it did.

Looking into his mask again, Starfire said, rather tenderly, "Goodnight, Robin."

Robin stared back into her eyes, captivated. Also in a more tender voice than usual, Robin responded. "Goodnight, Starfire."

They stood for a moment longer, both pairs of hands being held between them, then they slowly started to lean in toward one another. Neither really knew what was happening at first, then once they did realize what was happening, they wondered why it was happening. Once they were only two inches from each other, questions of what and why left their minds and they simply let be whatever would be.

Their lips met, and Starfire placed a hand on the side of his face, while Robin ran one if his hand through her soft hair. This sweet, soft, yet somehow very intense kiss lasted a good 45 seconds, sending electric jolts up both of their spines, making their bodies shiver inside.

Finally separating, they gazed at each other for a few more seconds before Starfire stepped back into her room and slowly began sliding the door closed. Before it was shut completely, she looked at Robin one last time, her cheeks rosey with blush, and slowly waved her hand at him. Robin raised his hand and slowly waved as well, a goofy grin on his face. Starfire slid the door closed.

Lowering his hand, Robin turned and walked down the hall to his room, the goofy grin and blush still on his face, his arms hanging limply, his walk seeming almost drunk.

Entering his room and closing the door, Robin walked to the foot of his bed and turned around. He threw his hands in the air and whispered "Yes!" before falling back onto his bed. He stared at the ceiling for several minutes.

"Wow. Me and Starfire. Wow." After staring at the ceiling a few more minutes, he finally turned out the light, and had very pleasant dreams.

The screen goes blank. End credits.

I came up with this senario the very night that I first saw "Date With Destiny". I'm glad to have finally been able to put it into print for others to read.

I always refer to Starfire's giggle as "that wonderful giggle of hers" in all my fanfiction. I cannot help it.
