I am so sorry, I haven't updated in years. Literally. Well, the story is almost over, so hopefully I should be able to finish it this weekend.
This chapter probably won't be all that good, considering I wrote it when I was dead tired, but that's what reviewers are for, right? To tell me if it's bad.
Speaking of reviewers…
Reviews:
Strodgfrgf – Nice language! . I whole-heartedly agree with you on the whole Chelsea-needs-to-die thing. Thanks for reviewing!
Miss-Casablanca- You'll have to read and find out, but I think you'll like the answer!
Starxrob lover(anonymous)- I know, right? I don't think they'll be any making out, but Robin and Star are defiantly gonna kiss before the end of the story!
Peggz- That depends, do you have a gun license? lol, anyway, thnx for reviewing and I will check out your story!
becca(anonymous) - … enough said.
Wolfie the Wolf Goddess- Love your penname and thnx! Uh, sure… I'll be your friend!
NoBoDy'S AnGeL473- I'm w/ the other girl too, but same question as I asked her: gun license?
Kmutt- fortunately, Star doesn't see them kissing, b/c I'd hate to write about that! Thnx for reviewing!
Fairyalexa- I don't know, I guess I based Chelsea off Kitten. You will see Erika again, but I'm not sure about Alex. I guess I like being called Lynnie Thnx!
Anonymous- Your garage is scary!
Blaze83- Okay, I'll fix it, but first I need duct tape and a hammer!

Nightmare car- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I figured that! Be careful you don't slice some poor passerby's head off!
Givgirl(anonymous)- Wish granted!
Mewraven- I'm sorry the last chapter disappointed you, and I hope this one is better!
MultiFanficReader- Maybe not this chapter, but the last chapter will have BBRae fluff in it.
Lunette Quintessence- Thanks, and like I said to MFR above, there's going to be BBRae stuff in the last (next) chapter. Thanks for the advice too, it wasn't all that nit-picky!
Kimi(anonymous)- Don't worry, the story will most definitely have a good ending!
Skuller31- Thank you!
DoveinMist(anonymous)- A lot of people who haven't reviewed before reviewed now, so you're not alone, and no, Chelsea is just using look-at-me-I'm-so-cute-and-innocent control!
Nightstar Grayson- Thanks! It pained me to portray Robin as heartless as he was, but as the chapter title implies, he's going to fix it!
Roach4Life- Thanks, and this chapter is the start of Robin-and-Starfire rebonding, so hopefully you'll like it!
Wow! One and a half pages just for reviews, thanks guys! Anyway, on to the story!

Chapter 13, Healing Hearts
Emily stayed with Starfire for the entire half hour of her crying, and when Starfire finally gave her last whimper, Emily stood up and faced her.
"Starfire, I'm going to tell you what you need to do," she said, "You need to march into that dance with your head held high and show Robin who you really are. You're not some heartbroken fangirl, you're Starfire, his teammate, and if he doesn't understand that, then he's not worth your time, got it?"
Starfire looked up, surprised, and then nodded slowly. "Thank you, Emily;" she said quietly, "you are truly a wonderful friend!"
"Well," said Emily, looking pleased with the compliment, "I just don't think that someone should be so upset on a celebratory vacation. It doesn't seem right… now, what are you waiting for? Go on!"
Starfire beamed, stood up, smoothed out her dress, and marched I back into the dance. Emily smiled. "My work is done." She proclaimed, and went to rejoin her date at the refreshments table.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Robin had just sat down in one of the oversized chairs that were placed in the corner of the ballroom, exhausted. Chelsea had just forced him to dance with her for three waltzes straight.
"Robin," said a feminine voice from behind him. He turned, expecting to see Chelsea, but instead he came face to face with Starfire instead.
"Starfire…" he said, "where's your date?" Starfire looked down at the ground briefly, before looking back at Robin.
"He is… unapproachable at this moment." She said, "But, I came to this place because I wish to speak with you."
"There's nothing to speak about," he said hotly, "So maybe you should just-"
"Friend Robin," said Starfire, cutting him off mid-sentence, "I do not understand what I have done to make you be angry with me, but I wish for you to know that I do not want to experience it anymore."
"I- You..." Robin stuttered, trying to find an argument. "I was jealous…" he finally admitted softly. "I saw you talking to that Brad guy on our first day here and I- I don't know what I saw in Chelsea, I guess at first I thought she seemed kind of like you. Starfire, I'm sorry… I was blind… I guess you must've been feeling pretty bad…"
Starfire looked confused. "You were… jealous?" she asked, "why?"
Robin stared at his feet. "I saw the way he was making you smile, and I wished that you would smile for me that way."
"Robin… I-" Starfire started.
"Robin!? Why are you wasting time talking to her!?" a high-pitched wail broke in.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Chelsea had been getting a drink when she had seen Robin and Starfire talking, she wasn't sure what they were talking about, but from her point of view, it must have been bad.
So, of course, she'd marched right over to ruin whatever conversation they'd struck up. "You better explain yourself, Starfrier, or whatever it is. Robin is my date, you, like I told you before, belong away from this dance! With the dateless losers!"
"You told her that!?" Robin fumed, standing up to face Chelsea. "Is that what you were saying to her!?"
"I was just making sure she knew where she belonged!" Chelsea squawked, "I didn't want some pretty little super powered princess stealing my super famous boyfriend! She-"
"Is this what this is about? Something you can brag to your friends about!?" asked Robin, angrily.
"N..No! Of course not, I really like you! Honestly!"
"Oh, really? Do you actually remember half the things we were talking about before?"
"W..well, uh, um, I forgot, it was so long ago!"
"Chelsea, consider yourself dumped."
"What!? No, p...Please Robin! Don't dump me!"
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Cyborg and Bee were standing just at the edge of the dance floor, watching the scene as it unfolded.
"What does that little brat think she's gonna get by begging!?" Bee asked incredulously.
"I don't know, but its about time she got what she deserved!" said Cyborg.
"I'm just glad Robin finally realized his mistakes," said Bee, "and that Starfire hung on to her feelings for him that long! I wouldn't wait that long just for a guy!"
"Just a guy!? I hope you ain't referring to me as that guy!" Cyborg exclaimed.
"Of course not, Sparky," Bee drawled, "I would wait for you forever!"
"Booya!" said Cyborg. "Anyway... C'mon, let's leave them alone for now, I'm thirsty."
"Whatever you say, Sparky."
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Erika? Are you nearly done with 'powdering your nose'?" Becca called through the bathroom door. She'd seen Starfire run past around an hour ago, and she wanted to see if her new friend was okay.
"You know, you were more patient when you were a baby who needed feeding." was her sister's reply.
"Ha-ha, that was so funny I can hardly breathe from laughing." said Becca, sarcastically.
"Okay, I'm done now!" chirped Erika, as she came through the door.
"I don't see any difference." Becca remarked.
"Of course you wouldn't!" said Erika.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Erika just rolled her eyes.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I wrote a lot more than I usually do. I know it doesn't stand up to some other fanfic writers I know, but it's getting better!
I hope it's a lot better than the previous chapters! Oh, and if anyone didn't notice, I changed my penname!
Sayonara!
