With You In Your Dreams

"Star?" Robin asked and Starfire turned around to face Robin.

"Yes Robin?" Starfire asked and felt Robin's arm around her waist. She snuggled closer to him.

"If I'm gone, would you remember me?" Robin asked and Starfire nodded.

"Of course Robin, I would never let you die through...." Starfire said and closed her eyes.

"Robin will you stay with me forever?" Starfire asked and Robin nodded his head. Starfire smiled and fell asleep. Once Robin was sure she was asleep, he said:

"Yes Star, I'll be with you in your dreams...."

If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry

And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't sigh
Don't look back at this time as a time
Of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh I'll be with you, oh oh

Starfire awoke to the early sun. She yawned loudly and turned over to see if Robin was still there. He wasn't... All his clothes were missing and nothing seemed to be in place...

"Robin?!?!" Starfire said and sprang out of the bed. Where was Robin he wasn't in his room, but she guessed that he was in the training room. She didn't know that Robin was gone forever.... Starfire got dressed and walked out to the kitchen. All her friends had frowns on their faces.

"Why the long faces friends?" Starfire asked and they knew Robin hadn't told Starfire. He didn't want to hurt her.

"Star, I'm sorry but Robin left.... Maybe forever" Cyborg said and Starfire giggled nervously.

"You are just kidding right?" Starfire asked and all her friends shook their heads. Starfire felt tears fall down her face. She wiped them away. She ran, all she could do... Robin watched over her...

"Don't cry Star, I'm with you always...."

But If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please dont sigh
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Oh oh

Starfire's POV

I hugged her legs close to me. I felt my tears coming down my face.... Why did Robin leave me? He promised me that they would be together forever... Why did he break that promise?

"WHY?!?!?!" I yelled and buried my face in my hands. Why did Robin leave without telling me? It didn't seem like Robin needed me anymore.... I felt a hand on my shoulder and I picked up my head. There stood Raven. She sat down next to me.

"Star, are you feeling alright?" Raven asked and I nodded.

"I am just sad that Robin never told me he was leaving...."

"He didn't want to hurt you Star" Raven said and I stared at her for a long time.

"It hurts more to know that he didn't tell me" I said and Raven didn't say anything.

"Star, I'm so sorry he didn't tell you, but boys are always going to be like that.... I bet he's looking over you and he wants you to move on" Raven said and stuck out her hand.

"I guess he would...." I said and took Raven's hand. She helped me up and I wiped away the last tears I had....

Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't sigh, I'm by your side
Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't sigh, I'm by your side

And though my flesh is gone, whoa
I'll still be with you at all times
And although my body's gone, oh
I'll be there to comfort you at all times

A couple years later....

Starfire's POV

I had gone on with my life and I haven't seen Robin since our last talk.... He said that he would stay with me forever, but how long is forever? To him it's only a year... That's how long we had been together. Raven and Beast Boy got married, but I didn't go... I didn't want to go to a wedding because Robin and I were suppose to be married a long time ago. I still have the ring on, and I haven't betrayed him or anything.... I hope he hasn't betrayed me.... Today I went out to get the mail and there was a letter to me without a return address. I carefully opened it... It was from Robin... I felt tears threaten to fall... I read it...

Dearest Starfire,

I'm sorry I left so early... I didn't want to hurt you... I'm always with you Star... Don't worry... I promise one day we'll be back together, but maybe just not anytime soon... I love you, and I do want to get married sometime soon, but it just can't happen... I'm so sorry Star... I wish I could wipe away all your tears and comfort you again, but I just can't do that... I can't tell you why, but I wish I could... Star, remember me... I'll always be with you in your dreams...

Love,

Robin

I didn't want to cry again, that would show I was a baby. I held back my tears before running inside the T tower. Raven and Beast Boy were tending to their two year old son.

"Star, is there something wrong?" Beast Boy asked and I nodded. I chucked the letter at him. He read it and handed it to Raven...

"I could track him down Star, if you wanted" Raven said and I shook my head.

"I want him to come to me on his own, even if it takes forever...."

Oh oh

But If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please dont sigh
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you
I'll be with you in your dreams

I sat on the roof. My face was stained with tears. I looked at the sunset. I remember sitting there with Robin on our first date.... This is the place where he purposed to me...

Flashback...

"Hey Star, can I talk to you for a second?" Robin asked and Starfire nodded. They both walked up to the roof. Robin looked nervous.

"Robin, is there something wrong?" Starfire asked and Robin shook his head. They stood on the roof staring into each others eyes...

"Star, ever since I met you, you've been the best thing ever... I haven't wanted anything more then to be with you forever... I remember the first time we spoke to each other... Everything seemed so right... Everything fell into place after... When I taught you all the earth words and everything, I knew I was in love with you, I just didn't know how to say it... I was afraid of rejection and I didn't want to be alone forever... What I'm trying to say Star, will you marry me?" Robin asked and he had gotten down on one knee. Starfire didn't know what to say. Tears of joy came down her face. She kneeled down in front of him and wrapped her arms around him. She cried on his shoulder...

"Yes Robin..." Starfire simply said and Robin couldn't believe it... He smiled as he slipped the ring onto Starfire's finger...

End of flashback...

I always remembered that memory when I was feeling sad or down. I took off my ring and smiled as the gems shinned. I wanted to throw it over the edge and get on with my life. The roof door opened and Raven walked out onto the roof holding her two year old son. She placed him down and sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry it didn't work out with you and Robin Star" Raven said and I nodded. I turned away from her.

"Star, I know he'll come back to you one day though" Raven said and looked at my hand. She noticed that my ring wasn't on my fingers.

"Where's your ring Star?" Raven asked and I shrugged.

"I took it off, it's time to take it off" I said and Raven saw it glistening in the distance. She got up, picked up her son, and picked up the ring. She sat back down with her son in her lap.



Oh, I'll be with you
Oh
I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you
I'll be with you

I don't want you to cry and weep, oh
I want you to go on living your life
I'm not sleeping an endless sleep, oh
'Cause in your heart
You have all of our good times
Oh, all of our good times
Oh oh you have

Raven placed the ring back on my finger.

"Wear it always, even if he never comes back Star" Raven said gently. I looked at my hand and nodded. I would wait for him forever...

"Raven, I will wait for him forever" I said and for the first time ever, Raven smiled at me. I smiled back and turned to look at the sunset.

"Momma smi-ling" Raven's two year old son said and Raven smiled at him.

"Yes, momma is smiling" Raven said and pointed towards the sunset. She talked quietly to her son. I smiled and remembered all that Robin said to me that night before he left.

Flashback...

Starfire had just gotten into Robin and hers bed when Robin started talking to her.

"Star?" Robin asked and Starfire turned around to face Robin.

"Yes Robin?" Starfire asked and felt Robin's arm around her waist. She snuggled closer to him.

"If I'm gone, would you remember me?" Robin asked and Starfire nodded.

"Of course Robin, I would never let you die through...." Starfire said and closed her eyes.

"Robin will you stay with me forever?" Starfire asked and Robin nodded his head. That was the last time Starfire saw Robin...

End of flashback...

"Star, are you okay?" Raven asked and I nodded.

"Just thinking friend Raven" I said and raven got up.

"Well I guess it's time to go in then" Raven said and helped me up. Her two year old son walked inside before us. Raven placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey Star, everything's alright right?" Raven asked and I nodded.

"Everything is...... Wonderful"

And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please dont sigh
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Raven walked in before me. I took one last glance at the sunset before walking away...

Robin's POV

I watched as the two girls talked on the roof. I promise you Star that I'll always be watching you... Never let hope die and I promise that I'll be home soon...

Oh
I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you
Oh
I'll be with you
I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you in your dreams...

Starfire's POV

I stopped in the doorway. I thought I heard something, but I must be imaging things. The wind blew slowly on me... I placed a smile on my face, I hoped that Robin saw my smiled and knew that I was missing him so much...

"I miss you so much my Robin" I said and smiled bigger this time. I didn't know why, but I was happy that I had this little talk with Raven. I stared at my hand, the ring was there.

"I'll wait for you forever...." I said before turning and walking inside....

Robin's POV

"I miss you so much my Robin" I heard Starfire say. I missed her so much. I longed to hold her... To smell her sweet perfume... Everything... I saw her studying her hand. I saw her ring. She kept it on all these years... I knew she wouldn't betray me...

"I'll wait for you forever...." Starfire said before turning and walking inside the T tower... She had no idea I was watching from a distance. I'll be with you forever Star.... Remember everything we did together and don't cry because I'm with you and even though my face and body isn't there, I'll still be there... I promise... Don't worry Star, remember me forever and one day when I turn up, don't push me away.... I turn away from the T tower and leave the mountain I watch from... Good-bye forever... My shinning Star....
