I've decided to reply to your reviews! Here goes!
Torral11: I loved the chapter it was really good I have a idea how about Richard inviter Starfire out on a date and Richard Kisses her and tells her that he loves her I hopped you liked the idea Please update soon
Answer: A good idea. I don't think I'll use it though. I think I have a pretty good idea about what happens (umm, maybe). I'm finally updating, but I am quite swamped with... well, life, and I'm also very lazy, so it could be awhile before the next chapter. Review again!!
Golfprincess: this sounds like a really good story put i was lost how robin died... please update
gp
Answer: It is a good story, isn't it. Just kidding!! I'm not that conceited. Anyway, Robin died (actually, committed suicide) by throwing himself out of a window in the Tower into the bay below. How he died, that can be up to your imagination. I like to think he drowned himself, or maybe the impact of the water killed him. Others think he didn't die at all! (coughStarfirecough). I hope that cleared things up for you!
HBK's…:Man I hate it when people stop when it is getting so good and now I'm going to get annoyed because I don't know what is going to happen next! I need to know please update soon!
Answer: I'm leaving your name at that, it's kind of long, hope you don't mind. I'm sorry for stopping it when it got good. At least it got good! I always hated it when that happened to me when I was playing with a friend in my younger years. We would be doing something (most likely forts) and then someone's parent would call, and we'd have to stop playing. sniff sniff Good thing I'm updating! (finally…)
Plexus: Excuse for the delay. I was traveling.
I'm totally intrigued. Is Richard Robin? If it's not, why so much interest in Star? In case it is him, why is he making her to suffer so much?
I hope 2007 are your year of great and wonderful accomplishments.
Answer: Your requested pardon is granted. Intrigued? I like your word choice! Here's a cookie! Munch it, crunch it. Well, I'd like to answer your questions, but that would obviously give away the plot. (Okay, I'm kinda late on this, but this was a review from the new year in January…) I wish you many good times and great cheer during this New Year. It's a time of starting over and rebirth within ourselves. Okay, that transcendental phase is over. Onto the story!

Chapter 5: Remenisance
Starfire had finished packing and was now waiting anxiously for the day to arrive when they would leave for Tamaran. She would lie around the tower when they weren't on missions, clean her already sparkling room, and the like. There were only a few more days left now, when Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg decided it was time to take Starfire out of the tower before she cleaned their rooms as well.
"Hey, uhh, Starfire? Want to go out for pizza?" Cyborg asked.
"Of course! It sounds most marvelous!" She responded.
"Great. We'll be leaving in about 10 minutes, okay?"
"I will be ready." Starfire replaced the candles on Robin's alter, throwing the old ones away. "Robin, I have met someone who is, very much like you. His name is Richard, and he is very nice. But he was at my window a few nights ago. Strange, don't you think? I do still miss you though. No one can ever take your place." She ended sadly. "But I must go now. We're going out for pizza! I think I will get pizza with pickles and mint frosting again, it was most tasteful last time I tried it. I will see you at another time Robin." She left the room, happier than before.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had eaten the last of the regular pizza, and Starfire took the last slice of hers.
"I can't believe you had pickles and mint frosting again." Raven looked disgusted as Starfire ravenously ate the slice.
"At least it's vegetarian." Beast Boy piped up.
"It's still disgusting." Raven shuddered.
"I have to agree with Raven on this one." Cyborg wiped some tomato sauce off his mouth.
Starfire just smiled. "But I don't have to share."
"Girl's got a point."
Raven and Beast Boy nodded.
Richard walked up to a table at the other end of the pizza shaped balcony. He looked over at Starfire and waved. Starfire nodded politely.
"Who's that Star, do you know him?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yes, that is Richard, he was the one I mistook for Robin. He is very nice."
"Oh, well, if he ever wants to visit, tell him he's welcome at the Tower." Cyborg looked over at him.
"Whoa, dude! It's no wonder you thought he was Robin. He looks exactly like him!"
Raven just stared at him. "Hmm. He seems to look a little too much like Robin."
"Friend Raven, it is as you said, Robin has… past. We must move on. I know that that is Richard. Robin is just part of our memories now." Starfire placed a used paper napkin on her plate. "I am ready to go now."
"Alright, let me just pay the bill first." Cyborg took thirty dollars out and placed it on the table. "That should cover it. Alright team, let's go." Everyone left the table and started for the door. Raven still eyed Richard. 'Too much like him... No, it's just someone who looks like him. This is crazy. It's as if I'm like Starfire now.' She shook the thought from her head and floated behind the others.
"Raven, when we return, would you like to join us for the watching of a movie?" Starfire began bouncing in circles around Raven. "It would be most exciting!"
"You're going to make me watch it anyway, so I guess I'll save myself the energy and say yes."
"Should we go to the theatre this time? We don't go there that often." Cyborg suggested.
"Totally! I love the smell of popcorn in there." Beast Boy's eyes lit up with a remenisaince of his last experience at the movie theatre.
"I don't care." The usual monotone drifted in the air.
The team headed to the movie theatre while Cyborg and Beast Boy argued over which movie to see.
"But 'Day of the Night Living' is supposed to be totally scary and freaky and twisted!" Beast Boy complained.
" 'Scene of the Chase' is an action movie, which you know the girls are much better with. Those horror movies we watch scare them."
"Um, I don't mind scary movies." Starfire popped up.
"What do you mean I can't do scary movies?" Raven's glare was icy.
"Do I have to remind everyone of the night where Raven's powers went whacky? Come on, we should watch something that won't upset y'all."
"I can handle scary movies!" Raven roared. The rest of the team fell silent.
" 'Day of the Night Living' it is." Cyborg squeaked.
Raven strode to the ticket counter. "Four for 'Day of the Night Living'." The teller, who had heard Raven's end to the conversation, quickly issued the tickets.
"No charge." He murmured, backing as far as he could into his booth.
"Great, the ticket guy is terrified of us." Beast Boy whispered to Cyborg.
"I heard that." Raven walked by with a chilling air. Cyborg laughed at Beast Boy, whose ears drooped.
"Friends, I shall go get us some seats in the viewing area."
"Go with her, make sure they're good." Cyborg mumbled to Raven. The last time Starfire got them seats they were in the very front row of a rather large screen, farthest to the side as well.
Raven hurried up to Starfire. "I don't want any food, so I'm coming with you." She lied as they walked in.
"Where should we sit Raven? In the front again? I remember the others were pleased with my choice last time." Starfire smiled.
"Uhh, let's go farther up this time." Raven pushed her up the stairs. "And more to the center." Starfire gasped. "The screen is much bigger here."
"It's all in perspective." Raven took a seat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starfire covered her eyes in fear, but the screams penetrating her ears were too much. She peeked at the movie and felt sick. Glancing over at Raven, she could see the Goth was having as hard a time trying to get through the movie. Starfire got up from her seat and hurried out into the main area. Closing the door behind her, she heard the start of another scream of terror. She rushed into the bathroom and sat on the couch in the lounge area.
Starfire, are you going to be okay? Starfire jumped.
Oh, Raven. Yes, I will be fine. But I think I will go home now. I am tired and wish to rest.
Okay, do you want anyone to come with you?
No. Please do not wake me if I am not up when you return. If you need me, call my T-Com.
Okay. We'll see you later then.
Starfire left the theatre and flew home. "That was most unpleasant." She said upon entering the tower's main room. The Tamaranian walked to her room, but didn't go to sleep. Instead, she dressed in some regular clothes and took the address of Richard's location from her dresser, the same paper from the police officer. "Now, I can finally go see who this Richard truly is." She locked her door and flew out the window to the city.

A/N: Well, there it is! The fifth chapter! Yay!! I know it's kind of short, but was going to be longer! I mean, I had a lot written, but I decided that I wanted more chapters, and since that might have finished the fic, I changed it into a different chapter, so the next update should be sooner (emphasis on the should). I'm sorry this one took so long! I thought it would be sooner, but I could never really get around to it, as I've said, I'm very busy. But I finally did it. And would a few more reviews hurt? I know I always complain about it, but I'm seriously only getting about 3 or 4 reviews per chapter (chapter 2 was amazing! I got a good amount that time, but where'd y'all go??) So, it doesn't take long to review, just hit that little blue purple button right down there!! If you do, I'll give you pie! And it's just a click away! I accept any reviews. Flame me, bash me, compliment me, I don't care, just do it please. Thanks! I'll try to make the next update sooner!!!
