Life is Never Easy

A/N: I know, I know, don't say it, I'm a mean evil person, who has let a story fall by the wayside for several months.

I am sorry but Jeez guys and gals REVIEW!

Seriously, artists need reviews, and writing is an art form, you have no one to blame but yourselves for my lack of motivation (And maybe a little blame could be placed on my Ex…but she is no longer mine, thus the ex.)

And since it has been such a long time, I should remind you that this is a sequel to the story "Comfort in the Arms of Darkness".

If you haven't read it, please do, it has its share of mistakes and typo's, but I still like it quite a lot, it's in my profile.

Again, reviews…did I mention that?

Much to everyone's dismay though, I'm going to have to draft an OC soon, someone to be Terra's host, sorry folks, that's the way the ball bounces

Chapter 2 - Everybody's talkin' at me

---------------------------------------------

Robin sighed as he sat on the couch in front of the game station, he wasn't in the mood to play, and it wasn't his thing to play alone. He wasn't watching TV, because whenever he got interested in a show, he'd always have to leave it for some reason or another.

He hated downtime, plain and simple, but the other's were right, he could really use the rest, at the moment, he was thinking, thinking about all that happened between BB and Raven, and of course, thinking how quiet it was without the others around.

He also thought that the titan's tower was needlessly huge sometimes, but there was more than one reason for that, the biggest was to confuse attackers, most didn't know which floor held what, and thus, could not formulate a good assault, and stood a much lower chance of defeating them.

He considered watching TV, it was Tuesday, and crime in the city always seemed low on Tuesday, the others would be able to handle it, and he did need his rest.

But he featured it as best not to, after all, if a crime happened to be reported on the TV he knew he'd be out of there in a flash, injured or not, Robin felt like he knew himself way to well for his own damn good, but then other days he felt like a stranger

They had all finally decided on a lovely royal blue dress after Starfire had tried them all on.

The Tamerrainian girl was blushing the entire time, wondering what in the world her friend wanted her to have a dress for, it was not practical for battle in the least, and she had no other to please with…it?

She blinked as that thought came together in her mind and suddenly the thought came to mind, "Friends?"

Beastboy and Raven looked back, followed by Cyborg, "What's up Star?" Cyborg asked.

"What is your intention with this garment that you have acquired for me?" Star asked softly, surely none of them would try to…

Beastboy and Cyborg grinned at each other, Raven simply smiled at the alien girl, "You heard us talking when we were looking for a dress right? It's for Robin."

Starfire looked at the dress again, "It does not look like it would fit him very will friend Raven." Cyborg burst out laughing at this, Beastboy managed to keep his composure, "It's for you to wear FOR Robin, Star." He giggled.

"But Robin has much more important things to focus his attention on than my clothing Friend Beastboy." She knew where it was going deep down, at times she simply acted simple, "B-besides, I would be far to nervous to-"

"Ahh ah ah!" Beastboy cut her off, "You think you are nervous, I was going after the queen of the Dark early on." Raven kicked him in the shin for that remark, but then spoke, "It's obvious that you feel something for him Starfire." Raven's tone was much less monotone now, and she talked much more as well.

Starfire's normally Orange-ish skin tone turned a deep red in her face, "I…um…" She turned away from her friends, "Well he…he's too…"

Raven put a hand on her shoulder, "It is bonds that make us strong, the closer the better." She said, looking at Beastboy for a moment, "C'mon, we'll knock him dead."

Starfire gasped, "I do not wish to KILL friend Robin!" This was not acting however, because though she had spent a decent amount of time on Earth, she was still missing a good deal of the sayings.

Cyborg was in tears with laugher as Raven tried to explain the saying to her friend; Beastboy was busy looking into the arcade.

"Miss? Can I get you anything else?" Kirie looked up from her coffee at the pretty blond waitress and shook her head, the lady nodded and walked off, leaving a bill behind.

Kirie was a young lady of 17 years, reasonably pretty, 5' 9" long brown hair with a pleasant disposition if you could get her to talk to you, but her lack of confidence was staggering, her life had taught her many things, and she had strong ideas.

But life had also taught her to keep her head down, and she'd be a lot less likely to get hurt, she trusted no one, not even herself.

Kirie sighed as she looked in her pockets for change for the coffee; she found it and put it on the table as she sipped the coffee so she wouldn't have to deal with it later.

She looked out the window of the coffee shop, feeling as if she was being watched, no one was out there, but the feeling just wouldn't go away.

I"Yes…You will do quite nicely dear…Master will be pleased."/I

I know, I know, it's not much…yet, but it'll all hit me soon I'm sure, besides, I just want to show everyone I'm still alive for right now.

Review...or tell five friends that will, those are my terms or a cute Anime pet gets it
