"You know you didn't have to do this for me."

"Nonsense, Rachel. That's what...people do."

Friend. Starfire was about to say friend. Rachel smiled on the inside. Starfire was looking at her face when she was patching up a bandage upon Rachel's injured nose. Rachel hesitantly touched her bandaged nose lightly and sighed while properly thanking Starfire for her assistance.

"Where's Kara?"

"Making some tea for the three of us. Told you Rose is trouble."

"She didn't MEAN to hurt me."

"Uh, right."

"C'mon, Star. Rose...just misses her dad. It's our fault she's this way."

"No. It's Slade's fault to be an evil bastard."

"You know, you impress me with your English."

Starfire smile when Kara comes inside of Starfire's room, struggling to hold three cups of herbal tea. Star helps her carry one and hands it to Rachel, who says thank you softly. Kara hugged Rachel gently, making her cringe and wonder why they were suddenly being nice to her. Did they feel bad or was it a game? Rachel shook her head and hugged Kara back. They drunk their tea together until Garfield barged into Starfire's room.

"Star! Rach! Are you guys okay? I heard that-"

He stopped when he saw Kara, who shyly waved at him, making his heart flutter.

"K...k...Kara...I...I didn't know you were..."

"Beastboy...! You broke my door!"

"No, I didn't! I opened and went through your door...! Big difference."

Starfire groans while Kara giggles, coming to Garfield, who was turning redder.

"Garfield, you're so funny. You should be a comedian."

"I...I...Rachel, how are you doing?"

Kara looks at Rachel then back at Garfield.

"Apart from having my nose looking like an eggplant, I'm fine, thanks to Star and Kara."

Kara slowly smiles and holds on to Garfield. "If you get injured, I'd make you a good cup of tea..."

"Wait a minute..! I'll be right back!"

"Garfield, don't be stupid and injure yourself on purpose.", says Rachel, sneering.

"I'm not stupid like you think, Rachel Roth...", says Garfield as he dashes out of the door, but he bumps his nose upon Victor's back as he was talking to Richard. Vic turns to see his green buddy and slaps him upon his back, making Garfield fall on the ground and scream. Kara giggles as she saw them.

"Well...here comes Nurse Kara to the rescue."

Kara, who still had some of her tea in her hands, comes over to Beastboy and helps him up. Starfire rolls her eyes as she smiles at Raven, who was shaking her head.

"Beastboy's so stupid.", says Rachel.

"Agreed.", says Starfire as she closes the door. "Rachel, you ever wonder what...if you...miss being friends?"

Rachel nearly chokes on her tea. "R-really?"

Starfire nods her head.

"S-sometimes. I mean...I didn't want our friendship to end."

"Me neither. Rose broke us up."

"She...she...Star, listen. Rose loves me; I love her back. It's...weird."

"But, why HER? I though you liked Garfield."

"I didn't expect to be...a lesbian. You shoulda seen Dad. He was furious when he found out but Mom was alright."

"I get why your parents have different tastes."

"I don't get why I'm born...Dad doesn't approve of my actions, but my mother never scorns me. You think that Mom should've aborted me...?"

"NO WAY! Just because your dad...did that to your mom doesn't mean that you shouldn't be alive. You're a kickass person, Rachel...and I'm sorry...for being a bitch."

Rachel looks at her, tears starting to form, and she nods her head, hugging Starfire. As she lets go, she breathes a heavy sigh and wipes her eyes with the back of her hand as she looks at Star, who was getting emotional as well, but Rachel's phone rings. It was Rose on the phone. She mouths out that she'll be back since she had to answer the phone and left to her room, so Starfire wouldn't hear who it was. God knew what Starfire would do if she heard Rose's voice on the phone. Rachel answers her phone. "Hello...?"

"They found me."

"The cops?"

"Yea..."

"Dude...I can-"

"It's too late for me, Rach. Thanks for being my friend."

Rose hangs up the phone, leaving Rachel speechless. She couldn't let Rose give up like that. Rachel laces up her purple sneakers and was about to head out, but she almost bumps into Starfire, who asked her where she was going. Rachel sighs and told her she was going to see Rose. Instead of fighting Rachel, which she thought she would do, Starfire smiles and says, "Let me and Kara come with. I need to tell Rose something."

Rachel didn't know what Starfire's intentions were, but she didn't want to break up their friendship again, so she and Star were going to get Kara so they can go to se Rachel, but when Starfire opens the door, she nearly screams as she saw her best friend with her legs wrapped around Garfield's torso as they were making out (preferably French-kissing) upon his bed, scaring them. Kara quickly got up and brushed off dust off her American-colored pleated skirt. Starfire quickly apologized to the both of them and closed the door shut. She shakes her head and covers her eyes.

"Maybe we should go by ourselves...", says Starfire.

Rachel nods as they both left.

As they arrived at the juvenile center, they saw Rose, dressed in an full orange jumpsuit and handcuffs upon her wrists. Rose had to do a doubletake, for she thought she was seeing Starfire, but she wasn't hallucinating. Rose hoped that she was. As Rachel came to hug Rose, she backed up and two guards were trying to hold Rachel back. Starfire yelled to the guards to let her friend go. One of them let go of her arm, but the other wasn't as reluctant. Starfire pulls Rachel away. Rose was shaking her head and was chuckling to herself. Stupid to think that Rachel would come alone, but she knew that this was a trick. Starfire was going to reprimand her when Rose was alone. Why did Rachel bring Starfire? To teach her a lesson? If it was, Rachel was doing a damn good job. Rose was learning something. Two of the guards were on each side of the table that Rose was seating, not budging. Rachel sat in front of Rose while Starfire was standing up, arms crossed. Rose was fidgeting with her handcuffs, nervous to look at Rachel, for she might disappointed in her. Though Rachel was upset with her, she wasn't disappointed. Never disappointed. She knew her side of the story. She knows what it's like to have a villain for a father. But, unlike Slade, Trigon always disapproves Rachel on every-damn-thing. All of the time. And it was discriminating. The worst was when he shunned her love for Rose. Rachel shakes her heads to get rid of her hatred of her overbearing father and glances at Rose. Starfire broke the silence and slams her palms upon the table, fire in her eyes.

"Rose Wilson, you broke my friend's nose and you keep letting her down! Why be here with us if you're not going to learn a damn thing!"

"Starfire, please-", says Rachel.

"Let 'er talk, Rach.", says Rose. "I deserve it."

"Are you really saying this since there are two guards that can kick your ass are here with us?", says Starfire with a glare in her eyes. "You're really pathetic, Rose."

"Star...Rose, we're sorry.", says Rachel.

Rose slowly gets up and runs out of the door. The guards run after her as she was going up the stairs that led to the roof. Rachel and Starfire stare in horror and went with them to catch Rose. As they got up to the roof, the guards were scanning the area, searching for the rogue Wilson, but she wasn't there. She disappeared.

"Think she'd jump?", asks one of the officers.

"If she did, there's nothing that we can do about it now.", says the other officer, leaving. His buddy shrugs and left with him. Rachel goes to the edge of the roof and looks down at the bottom, and screams. Her fingers running through her purple hair. She lost her best friend. Her girlfriend. Her Rose Wilson. She gets on her knees and screams, but Starfire, looking satisfied, gets on her knees to cheer up Rachel.

"Look on the bright side, Rach. Things'll go back to normal again."

"Now I wish I'd never met her."

"We all wish for things that we regret, but don't let this change who you are."

"...I'm glad we're friends again."

"Me too."

"Think Kara and Garfield'll be a couple...?"

"Ugh. Then, Garfield would want me to make couple names for them. Ick."

Rachel laughs and says she needs a minute to gather herself up. Starfire nods and goes downstairs. Rachel sniffles and looks up in the sky, towards the sky. She heard someone whisper her name, but she thought that she was imaging thing, but saw the toe of someone's black sneaker poking from behind the furnace, making Rachel smirk. She goes over there and kisses the person hiding. Rachel shakes her head and whispers, "You're crazy."

"Maybe. But, I'd SURE fooled them, didn't I?"

"You fooled ME.", Rachel chuckles and kisses Rose. "Now what?"

"I don't know. Get outta town. Cut my hair. Change my name. Maybe Debbie."

"Will I ever see you again?"

"Meh. I'll call you. Still have your number handy."

Rachel smiles and sniffles before hugging her girlfriend for the last time and kissing her. Rose kisses her back and sighs before running off without being caught. They wave at each other and Rose Wilson has left. Rachel breaths deeply and goes downstairs to catch up with Starfire, who hugged Rachel and they went back into the tower, where they were greeted by the boys, who were playing their idiotic video games, and Kara, who waved at the girls shyly. Star and Rachel waved back as they sat on the couch, hugging everyone and being the best friends that they were.

The End!
