Chapter 3: My long lost friend

I ran down the dark and lonely hallway. It seems like people here sleeps very early or either studying. I tripped over something and saw her. There she was running and sobbing all the way. I immediately got up and started the chase again. Man, she's fast for a girl. Suddenly, images of my first ever friend came to me. She was everything I loved and cared about when I was 7. I didn't know why these images appeared but I have been searching for her for 5 years. It had been 2 years ago since I stopped searching. She was gone, not coming back to me ever again.

I shook the thoughts out of my head and ran faster.

The moment that we met

There was something so familiar

I felt like I'd known you for a thousand years

"Kori, wait!" I shouted. My voice echoed in the empty corridor and she stopped. I took this chance to run faster in case she ran again. She heard my loud footsteps and squeezed her eyes shut. "Kori, what are you talking about? What happened 10 years ago? Have I met you before?" her eyes gave me the answer. Those emerald eyes filled with tears. I knew her, and yet I've forgotten her. But wait those eyes…that hair…..

And

There inside your eyes

I saw a light that I'd been

Missing

Somewhere deep inside

All of the lonely

Disappeared

And, baby, now you're here

I feel

Like I have found…

"Kori? Starfire?"

A long lost friend
That I've lived for all my life
A gentle hand
A part of me I've been trying to find
And now you're here
And the search comes to an end
I've found my long lost friend

Her eyes brightened up and a smile appeared on her lips. "You remember my nickname…" she said happily. My eyes were still big.

"Star?" she nodded and I smiled, hard. "Starfire!"

Every move I make

Is to the rhythm of your heartbeat

Every single breath you take

You take with me

"I can't believe I've found you! After all these years, I finally found you!" Kori giggled and sighed.

"Yes, it has been a very long 10 years without you, Dick…" I chuckled at my nickname 10 years ago.

"But, you knew who I was. you knew where I was! Why didn't you tell me or at least visit me?" Kori's smile faded and she walked into her room, me trailing behind.

Oh, I ask myself

How did I ever live before you?

You came into my life

And put all the pieces into place

When I saw your face

I knew that I had found...

"Remember the time when we used to play in the sandbox outside the school?" I nodded smiling at the memory. Kori was extremely cute then, and now. Here she was, standing before me looking like an angel.

"Well, after you left one day, and left me alone in the school. I was alone, with no one to play with. Left in my own world like you are here, excluding me. People started calling me names and bullied me…" I frowned. How could the world be so cruel…to both of us!

"Starfire…I'm so sorry. If I knew I would never leave you…" she shook her head smiling.

"One day, an old lady came to me and told me about you. Why did you leave and all that. I then understood and was glad Bruce took you in. that is why I don't feel much hatred like everyone here." I sat down on her bed taking in every word she said.

"When I turned 15, I came to Gotham to find you. But then, when I did, there you were, playing and flirting with 5 girls, Dick, you changed from shyness and polite, to flirty and bad." She let tears fall down from her cheek holding her heart. I knew why she was sad. I became something she hated.

A long lost friend

That I've lived for all my life

A gentle hand

A part of me I've been trying to find

And now you're here

And the search comes to an end

I've found my long lost friend

"I'm so sorry, Kori. I never knew you came…I'm so sorry…" I wiped her tears away. She sobbed onto my shirt and I held her tighter. "I'm so…so sorry…"

"Richard…I fell in love with the old you. Now, I'm not sure at all…" my eyes went wide and I eyed her.

"You loved me?"

Like a storm out of the blue

Love rained down on me and you

So complete and so unexpectedly

Like a movie in my mind

I've seen a hundred times

I feel like, I've loved you before...

Long Lost Friend.

She nodded her head and let another tear fall. I didn't know what to say, she fell in love with me and so did I. she haven't changed making my love her still but…I have…I am hurting her inside, and I knew I would never win her heart back ever again.

"Starfire…I loved you and I still want to…" she smiled slightly and lazily lay her head on my chest.

Now you're here

And the search comes to an end!

"Dick, you were my most treasured friend ever. Would you still be my friend?" I sighed.

"Only a friend?" I heard her giggle.

Long lost friend

That I've lived for all my life

A gentle hand

You're a part of me I was dying to find

And now you're here

And the search comes to an end...

I've found my long lost friend

I've found my long lost friend...

"Maybe we should start again, Dick. I mean, I have to know if I like the new you or not…" I sighed.

"Fine, as you wish, mum…" she slapped me and both of us started talking and playing. This was only the first day of school, and I already liked it.

Starfire is back as Korina Anders.

Oh, now I've found you

My lost friend... oh
