Marriage?!

Starfire slept on the bed Danny asked her too.

She looked up at the ceiling, unable to think about anything other than the odd way he behaved when marriage was brought up as a concept.

Why does he seem so afraid? She thought. Perhaps I can find a way to help him?

The more she thought, the more she wanted to see him. However, it was very late.

She tapped her finger on her arm, too eager to learn why he was so apprehensive about marriage. She then smiled to herself.

"I must see him."

Church bells were going. Danny found himself in front of that church, in a tuxedo.

"What the heck?" He asked himself as he looked down at himself. "Why am I wearing this?"

"Hello Darling…"

A sweet voice spoke to him. One he both enjoyed and feared.

He looked back and saw her, in full wedding gown.

"Starfire?!"

He had seen what a wedding dress on Tamaran looked like on their visit where they became a couple. And she's wearing it right now.

"STARFIRE?! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Danny shouted, only for her to giggle.

"Isn't it obvious, Darling? We are finally getting married and we are going to be together forever!" Starfire said in a happy, enamored way.

"MARRIED?!"

"Finally!" She said with a big smile.

Danny stepped back.

"Whoa!" He held his hands up. "Hold it!"

Her eyes glowed green and suddenly she was a dark silhouette with green hearts surrounding her. Those glowing eyes were looking right at him.

"YOU ARE MINE NOW!" She said with a somewhat monstrous voice.

Danny screamed his head off as he tried to make break for it.

However, to his surprise, she appeared right in front of him the moment he turned. He was about to scream when she moved her face in close to his. Her glowing eyes were closing, indicating a kiss was coming.

"Wait!" Danny moved his face away and shut his eyes. "WAIT!"

"Do you not love me?"

Her normal voice asked.

Danny opened and looked. He saw the normal Starfire. She looked saddened, as evident by her large, lovely eyes. Looking into them made Danny freeze up, feeling a variety of things.

Attraction, guilt, sadness, fear…

Danny gasped and finally broke free of her grip as he stepped back.

It was a mistake, he somehow stepped off a cliff, falling.

"KORY!" Danny called out, reaching out for her.

She didn't answer or react, only look down with a sense of longing at him.

"Please tell me you love me…" She asked as though still near him, as darkness surrounded him.

Danny gasped as he awoke, his heart was racing and he was panting from his dream.

"It...it was just a dream..." Danny whispered as he tried to control his breathing. "Another dream like that..."

This is the second time he had a dream about marrying Starfire, though at least this time she didn't try to kill him for not being Tamaranean and her sister didn't show up to strongarm him into marrying her...

Still... why did I have to dream that? About marrying her and her wanting to hear me say that I love her...

"I mean... I know I care for her but... love?" Danny thought as he sighed.

He turned over, in hopes to get in a better positon and get back to sleep, only to see something that made him question if he was awake or not.

He saw a sleeping Starfire's blissfully smiling, as she laid in bed next to him, still asleep.

It took Danny only a second to process this... before he reacted.

Danny yelped and even jumped up a bit in fright.

Thankfully, she is still asleep.

"W-What is she doing here?" Danny questioned and wondered if he really was dreaming and this is still part of his dream.

He pinched himself and realized that he is still awake but that means that Starfire is still asleep in his bed and-

W-Wait...um... A thought came to Danny's mind that made him blush hard, gulp and feel really nervous.

He checked under his sheets and was relieved that they were still both fully dressed but it didn't make this any less nerve wracking.

"Danny?" She asked as she stirred. "What is wrong?"

Danny calmed down before giving her a scolding.

"What's wrong is that it's like 3 in the morning. What are you doing in my room?!" He asked, keeping his voice low to avoid waking everyone else.

"I wished to see you… then I became tired. I had the idea of resting in the same sleeping bed as you. Practice for sleeping in the same bed for later."

Danny rolled his eyes.

"I told you, we aren't getting married." He said.

"Even so… I was tired. May I stay here just a bit longer?"

Danny was about to argue, but he yawned.

"I'm too tired to argue… Fine. Just no funny business…" He said.

Starfire smiled before wrapping her arms around Danny's neck and kissed him quickly.

"I thank you…"

She quickly went back to sleep, nuzzling Danny's cheek and still having her arms around his neck.

He was a bright red.

Now I definitely can't sleep… He thought.

He considered going intangible, but one brief look at Starfire's happy face made him smile.

He then wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

It was 7 when his alarm went off.

Danny attempted to reach out for it, but found Starfire's hold, although not painful, was hard to get through without intangibility. Once he went through, he was able to turn the alarm off.

He looked to Starfire, who was still asleep. So, he morphed and picked her up, bridal style and flew up towards the spare room. He was about to reach when he saw that his parents were in the Ops Center.

What?! What are they doing here?!

"So… ready for the 12 hour period of inventing new stuff?" Jack asked his wife, competitively.

"You know it!" Maddie said with a big grin.

"Loser pays for groceries!" Jack said.

They then began their little competition, where they build the best device they could.

Danny realized leaving Starfire here was a bad move. So he went back to his room, where he put Starfire back on his bed. That's when she stirred and woke up.

"Danny?"

"My folks are using the Ops Center for once. Looks like you'll have to hide down here." He said. "This might be a good thing. You can head down and grab something to eat without being caught."

"And what are you to do?"

"I have to head to school… we can talk later." Danny said. "Maybe we can jog your memory when I get back."

Starfire nodded. Although she was saddened to see him go. Not just because of her feelings, but she felt alone without him.

In the school labs, Danny was doing a web search for amnesia. Specifically, he wanted to find a way to jog Kory's memory back.

"She might be an alien, but maybe something here can help." Danny thought.

His two best friends, who were sitting next to him, were watching.

Sam had another idea.

"Maybe you should send her back to see if her friends can help?" She suggested, really to get rid of the alien girl.

"She's staying with me because of the Citadel guys, remember?" Danny, clueless to her dislike. "If I can help her, I have to."

"Someone's a faithful boyfriend…" Tucker said, sounding rather impressed Danny is still caring for her despite that she's regressed to being a bit stalker-ish.

Sam stomped on his foot in response.

"You should just send her back, Danny." Sam said, being a bit pushy. "I mean, she's back to being a pest for you."

"That doesn't mean I don't l- like her still."

Sam's brows rose.

"Seriously?" She asked, incredulously.

"I'm serious." Danny said, his eyes not leaving the screen.

Sam looked saddened, and angry, to hear him remain so faithful to this girl.

They didn't notice someone else was watching them, someone who stole a certain hunter's binoculars to avoid Danny sensing her presence. She smiled and decided to make a move once he and his girlfriend were alone.

Starfire was currently alone in her temporary home, the other inhabitants were not here... including her darling, who went to school and he asked her to wait here and stay out of sight.

Starfire didn't like being away from him but she did promise.

So, here she is, watching television in the living room while she waited to her darling to come back.

"I hope Danny comes back the sooner than later..." Started said, already missing him.

She was currently watching a black and white sitcom and she saw the two stars, married couple, share a kiss.

Starfire sighed as she imagined her and Danny doing that.

She watched more and saw the woman do things around their home, before greeting her husband when he came back.

"Hmm, is this how Earth wives act for their husbands?" Started asked out loud.

Suddenly an idea popped into her head and she smiled.

Perhaps this can make Danny less afraid of being married.

Danny was running late, all thanks to a certain overly friendly ghost firing chunks of ice at him.

"Get lost, Klemper!"

"But I just want to be your friend!" Klemper whined.

Danny groaned.

"Okay! Here we go!"

Danny's eyes glowed blue and he fired a blast of icy power.

"Ooh! I want to play too!" Klemper said as he unleashed his own blast of power.

The collision makes a large structure of ice between them. Klemper staring gave Danny the advantage, as he phased through the ice and used the thermos on him. This captured the friendly fiend and Danny sealed him in.

"Phew… finally. Now I can head home."

He was heading to Fentonworks, thinking about a certain girl staying with him..

Starfire's memory is still gone and she still doesn't remember him, not that it has changed her feelings for him.

Not in the slightest.

Thankfully, his parents are still doing their invention competition, so he didn't have to worry about them for now.

"How much longer until her memory comes back and she is the Kory that I...really like..." Danny thought to himself, having paused before he said a word he wasn't ready for.

Danny soon phased into his room, only to see something that made him want to question his sanity.

It's Starfire but she is wearing an apron and she has a large basketball of wet clothes. HIS wet clothes.

"Hello again, darling... welcomed home..." Starfire said as she flew to him and kissed his cheek.

"Starfire, what the heck are you doing?!" Danny said and Starfire giggled.

"Well, you have been most kind to me, giving me food and caring for me, that I wanted do something for you...and I had noticed that many of your clothing was filthy, so I had decides to clean them..." Starfire said in a sweet voice.

Danny just stood there, his eyes wide over the fact that his amnesiac girlfriend had gone through his clothes and washed them.

"And… why are you going through my laundry while wearing an apron?"

"I saw an old Earth film of a wife performing these actions and-"

"Stop!" Danny said with a finger up. "Was this black and white?"

"Indeed." She nodded.

"First off, that's a very old movie. Please do not replicate things from those movies unironically, many things from that time do not hold up." He said. "Second, we're dating, but we're not getting married."

"Oh, Darling... is it so wrong to dream of our future?" Starfire said in a dreamy voice as her arms were around him.

"Starfire, you still have amnesia, what could you possibly know of my dreams?" Danny said.

"Amnesiac or not, I know of dreams and I know of love... beginning picturing this..." She said as she let go, yet still gave Danny loving eyes and a big smile as her hands were together. "A lovely home... I place the latest feast to cook... my darling husband returns home to me for... private time... while the little ones play with Silky and our other pets... We will have four or five." Starfire said.

Danny gulped. "Pets?" He said, playing dumb.

Starfire giggled. "No, Danny. Little ones, our little ones. I am not picky on gender."

Danny was turning red before finding his voice.

"Are you sure we're biologically compatible? I mean... I'm an ape, you're a cat... I'm a C student and even I know they don't go together."

"My species is more technologically advance than yours and we have bred with other species before without much difficulty. I do not believe it would be a problem..." Starfire said simply.

Danny facepalmed before sitting on his bed.

"Ack!"

He lifted his foot up. It's cramped from fighting ghosts in between class.

"What is wrong, my handsome groom?" Starfire asked, worried for him.

"I'm not-" He groaned. "It's a cramp." He returned to human form. He then took his shoe off.

He was about to reach it when Starfire's hand wrapped around it.

"I can aid you!" She said.

"What?! No! I-"

She then massaged his foot.

It felt, to his dismay, very comforting. That was a problem, as Starfire could see on his face he was enjoying it, likely giving her the wrong idea again.

My hot girlfriend is giving me a rub and I can't even enjoy it!

Danny was beginning to get a headache, no matter what he says, Starfire still can't seem to get the hint that while he does like her, he does not want to get married or even think about such a thing.

Her amnesia and hormones are making her act even crazier than she did on the night they first met, except now she has wedding bells on the brain.

What am I going to do? There has got to be something! Danny thought in frustration.

"Oh, Darling!" Starfire said in a sing along voice as she appeared.

He sighed, before answering.

"Yes, Kory?" Danny asked, being cautious.

"I had made something for you." Starfire said with a giggle. "I had it waiting for you." She flew to his desk.

"What is it?" Danny asked, wary as Starfire pulled something that made Danny blanch.

He is not sure what is on the plate she is presenting, it just looks like a lump of brown gray mush and what looked to be berries or something in it.

"I made you this… with love!" She said with a big smile.

"Uh... what is this?" Danny asked and Starfire giggled, something that made him worry more.

"Well, Darling... I thought I would make you a snack, so here is some zorka cakes! Made with the juice of the deliciously bitter zorka berries..." Starfire said happily and Danny paled.

Oh no, not alien food... Danny thought as Starfire soon floated and sat in his lap of all things.

He gulped, getting nervous but she just took a spoonful of her zorka cake...

"Now, commend with the opening up..." She said playfully, making it obvious that she wants to feed him.

He sighed and opened his mouth. She then put a spoonful of the mush into his mouth.

He… did not like the taste.

It tastes like how Dash's sweat smells!

Still, he noticed how eager Starfire was to see him happy, so he hummed fake sounds of finding it delicious and forced himself to swallow. He grinned.

"Glorious!"

She pulled out another spoonful and, not wanting to taste it again, Danny morphed and phased way.

"That's… okay…" He said. "Maybe save it for later?"

"Indeed!" She said as she placed the food on the bed. "Consumption may come after the mouth contact of kissing!"

Before Danny could dodge her, Starfire managed to get her hands on him and pulled him towards her for yet another, mostly one sided make out session.

"Starf-..." Danny was muffler as Starfire eagerly stuck her tongue in his mouth and kept his head in place.

"Mmmm..." Starfire moaned as she continued the tonguing and Danny just stood there as she once again got this intimate with him.

It still feels good, but she did it due to being too hormonal to notice his reluctance.

Still, he thought this...

She still kisses great but...it's not the same...

Meanwhile, she was thinking this.

Oh darling... I adore this so much... I don't think I will ever tire of this...

Danny phased out of her grasp and stepped back.

"Listen Starbolts, I need you to-"

"Starbolts?" She asked. Danny remembered she doesn't recall his nickname for her. "Why are you calling me after my power?"

"It's a nickname." He explained. This caused a gasp with a big smile on her face. "Uh oh…" He groaned.

Starfire hugged him again.

"You have the nickname for me?! You must love me!"

Danny turned red again before finally overpowering her and pulling her hands off him.

"We are not getting married!" He said.

Starfire, however, was undaunted.

"Perhaps this can change your mind… I found this while looking for the apron. Your mother apparently saves it."

She flew out of his room, though Danny's concern remained.

"I'm kind of afraid of what's going through that pretty head of her's…"

After a few seconds more…

"I am coming!" She shouted in a sing-song voice.

She flew back in, wearing a dress. A wedding dress. His mother's wedding dress.

Danny's face turned pale.

"Uh… Starbolts? Why are you wearing my mom's wedding dress?"

"I wanted to know if it will make me look nice. What is your thought on my appearance?" She asked while turning left and right to show her sides.

Danny turned red. His mother's dress was loose, and Starfire clearly wasn't wearing her purple outfit under the strapless dress. He was afraid it will fall off.

"Uh…"

"I believe it may be too loose…" She said. She pulled it up a bit. "Although, I found a dress I once wore to this event called prom. I believe we should at least have the romantic date where you propose first!"

She flew back to change, but Danny was too stunned by what she just said to properly articulate her words.

Propose?! What is with her?!

He had to blink just to make sure he was still awake and not in a half-dream half-nightmare.

Then she came back in, wearing the pink dress she once wore during her first chase for him.

"Come, my handsome Phantom!" She said with her arms out. "Let us have the happy romantic time together!"

Danny didn't speak, he only thought his next plan.

"OUT!"

Danny then flew out the window, not caring if anyone saw him.

Starfire giggled with a hand over her mouth.

"So shy…" She flew after him. "Wait for me, my handsome little one!"

Neither of them knew a certain other female was watching from the nearby rooftops.

Danny thought of what to do, he had to find someplace Starfire would have difficulty finding him.

I might need to hide someplace until her memory comes back…

He flew into the mountains outside of town. There, he found his way to the trees. He sat on a branch and sighed with relief.

That's when he heard a voice from above.

"Wonderful idea, Danny!" Starfire said, sitting above him while still in that dress. "We shall be sitting in the tree!"

Danny flew off his branch and made a break for it, heading towards a bush.

Really hope this works.

Once he got in, he turned invisible to ensure he stays hidden.

Starfire landed and looked around.

"Where are you, my spiritual sweetheart?" She asked outloud. She heard something from behind her and turned around. "Aha! There you are!"

Danny rose a brow.

What the heck is that?

She looked into a bush.

"Danny?"

Out came a snake, it hissed and lashed out at her.

"STARFIRE!" Danny stood out, returning to visibility.

His panic ended, as she caught the serpent around the mouth without getting bitten. She then tossed the reptile away while her attention was to her beloved.

"My beloved! You were concerned for my well-being!" She said.

Realizing he got himself caught, Danny flew off, with his girlfriend following him.

He flew back into a bush. After a few seconds, he noticed Starfire seemingly disappeared.

That's weird…

He looked out. Then, once his head turned to his left, he felt her lips kiss his quickly.

"Peek-the-boo!" She said happily.

He attempted to fly away again, but she reached out and grabbed his foot. She pulled him in fast and hugged him, nuzzling their cheeks together.

Danny froze and blushed hard.

You need to leave… You need to leave… You need to leave…

His thoughts were in conflict with how nice this was feeling.

He phased out of her arms and flew off again.

Starfire was undaunted.

This is the playing hard to get! I like it!

Danny flew as fast as he could again.

Since I have my powers, this might make things easier. I hope…

He hid behind a tree. He looked around the corner to see if Starfire was around. He didn't see her enter the hole on the tree to wait for him. Danny entered it and was too late to react.

"What a wonderful place for kissing!" She said before wrapping her arms around Danny and kissing him deeply. She paid no attention to his muffled sounds of concern.

Danny phased out of the tree, while Starfire broke free.

He gasped for air as he flew as fast as he could.

I gotta get her to calm down. He looked back and saw her missing. Okay… where did she go?

He turned his head back and saw her in front of him. He braked before his lips could touched by her puckered pair.

"You needn't be concerned!" She said. "I am patient! Perhaps practicing the making out can ease concerns of marriage!"

Before Danny could make a break for it, something happened.

A blast from nowhere knocked her down, sending her to the ground.

"STARFIRE!" He called out.

"Hey, Dipstick…" The familiar voice of Ember spoke. Danny looked up and saw her, smiling, and with her guitar she sent her attack on Starfire ready. "Don't suppose she's willing to have a little competition?"

After the last story I updated, it was time for something more lighthearted.

Now Ember is going to be more active in the story this next chapter.

Danny's quite the chick magnet, isn't he?
