Summary- after Starfire almost died and Robin's emotional breakdown, Robin decides to take Starfire on a real date, but nothing ever goes right for the 2

Starfire lifted her lips off of Robins.

Robin looked up into the face of his beautiful team mate. He now knew why Batman always blushed when looking at Wonder Woman. Like Batman, Robin hardly ever showed any emotion toward anyone, but when he looked at Starfire he couldn't help but smile.

"It is getting late friend Robin. We should probably be going in now." Star said with a noticeable smile on her face.

"Your right, replied Robin. We wouldn't want any of the other titans wondering were we are either."

Starfire helped lift Robin back on to his feet. As the two began walking down the flight of stairs to their bedroom hallway, Robin slowly tried to put his arm around Starfire's waist. But, she looked before Robin could accomplish the task.

"What an idiot, Robin thought to himself. You've kissed her millions of times (when no one was looking), but you still can't even manage to put your arm around her waist!"

Starfire looked at Robin's face. He had the look of pondering on it. She knew he was thinking of something.

"Robin what is troubling you?" asked a curious Starfire

By now they had reached their bedroom hallway.

"O nothing." replied Robin

"Uh, stupid! Their you go again screwing things up, yet another time, just do it!"

The two reached Starfires door.

"Goodnight Robin." said Star as she planted a kiss on his cheek.

As she was turning round Robin grabbed her shoulder.

"Starfire, said Robin. Are you familiar with the earth term date?"

"The bonding in a relationship between the two earth people?" asked Star

"Uh yeah, um… would you like to… or tomorrow would you like to go on a real date with me, not like looking at the stars, but a real date?" asked Robin

Starfires face instantly lit up! She squeezed Robin in a tight hug.

"O Robin, I would love to do the earth bonding with you, called a date!" cheered Star

"Ok, then, how about tomorrow night at 7?"

"That would be great!" replied Star

Then she gave Robin a quick hug, and ran into her room closing the door behind her.

Robin could hear her squealing slightly in her room

"She's definitely one of a kind," said Robin as he walked down the hall towards his room.

Starfire rolled over to look at the clock on her nightstand

3:00 a.m.

She turned back over to look at the ceiling. She hadn't gotten even a little bit of sleep, because of the date with Robin tomorrow. Starfire smiled just thinking about it. She had a date with Robin, not just a night together, but a real date! Her and Robin were finally going out on a real date! Starfire turned back over to look at the clock again.

3:02 a.m.

I'll never be able to get any sleep tonight, Star thought to herself.

BAM

Star shot out of bed

O no, not again, thought Star.

Quickly, Star went to flip on the light switch, but the power was out.

Thinking hard, she remembered the light in a tube that Cyborg had given her.

Walking over to her closet Starfire began to rummage through her things before she found it.

Then she opened her door and walked out into the hallway.

BOOM

Starfire jumped high above the ground almost hitting her head on the ceiling; she still did not understand why earth weather had to be so violent.

Quietly Starfire began to descend down the hallway, thinking of a friend to go ask for help.

Usually she would go straight to Robin, but it was late and she didn't want to wake him up again.

So, because she was the only other girl in the house Starfire found herself stopping at Ravens door.

"Raven, I ask for your assistance," said Starfire quietly.

Inside she could hear Raven slowly making her way to the door. When it opened she was greeted by a tired and unhappy Raven.

"What is it Starfire?" said a groggy Raven

BOOM

Starfire grabbed a hold of Raven's arm and dug her face into her shoulder.

"Raven may I stay with you for the night?" asked a cowardly Starfire.

"Sure, why not, you already have me awake," replied Raven

Raven broke free of Starfires grasp and began walking back into her room. Slowly Starfire stepped into Ravens room. It was dark and the walls were painted a deep blue. Just like Robins eyes, Star thought to her self. She couldn't help but smile. The room had little furnishings; it only had a large square bed, a nightstand, and a dresser complete with a mirror.

"Raven, your room is … simple," said Starfire

"Thanks," said Raven handing Starfire a sleeping bag.

Raven climbed back into bed as Starfire rolled out the sleeping bag on the floor. Carefully Starfire slipped into the bag, without making any noise. Again Starfire couldn't sleep; she still couldn't help, but think about her date tomorrow. It suddenly struck her that Raven had gone on a couple dates before, maybe she could help.

"Raven?"

"Yes Starfire?" replied Raven in an annoyed tone.

"You have been on many dates, yes?"

"Why are you asking?" said a now curious Raven

Raven turned over to face Starfire on the floor.

"So why?" asked Raven again

"Well tomorrow I have a date with friend Robin, but I do now know what to were, or what to say, I am not from earth and have never gone on a real date before, I don't know how to properly act or appeal, and I want to have a good time, but I'm very confused on what to do, and I'm worried that I will mess things up and I will ruin the date, and be laughed at in public like the teenagers who are on TV, and I have no idea what to wear, do I dress like a casual, or preppy, or fancy, O Raven please help me!" said Starfire gasping for air.

Raven stared at Starfire for a moment, in shock.

"Raven, friend Raven, yelled Starfire, while waving her hand in Ravens face. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine Star I just don't know what to say," said raven still staring at Stars face.

Starfire's eyes began to well up. Tears began pouring down her cheeks, as she pulled the sleeping bag over her head.

"Star don't get all emotional," pleaded Raven.

Star only sobbed more.

"Ok ok, I'll help you,"

Starfire lifted her head up

"Really, friend Raven," asked Starfire

"Really," replied Raven

"Ok, so, what should I wear?"

"All right, said Raven. Well Robin didn't say you were going anywhere special, so you don't have to dress fancy and he's more attracted to a girl's personality rather than her looks so you don't have try to hard. If I were you I would try something laid back, but not to laid back so that it gives off the impression that you didn't even try to impress him."

"Raven how do you know so much?" asked a curious Star

"I do have a life Star, I can't always be so dark." said Raven with a slight smile

Star giggled as Raven moved on to the next question.

"Ok, your personality. Well, Robin all ready loves it so just act like yourself. Robin doesn't just like anybody, but for some reason the way you act makes him like you. So don't act different, because that's what he likes about you, he likes you.

Starfire turned her head up to the ceiling and closed her eyes.

"Thank you, friend Raven. You are a great friend," said Star

"You're welcome Star."

Soon Starfire drifted off to sleep, with her sweet prince on the mind.
