"Greetings my fellow people." I started my speech the way my father had always started them. "I am here to say that we are victorious. The war is over. It has been two and a half years, or maybe a bit more since this horrible war started. Many brave people lost their lives, mostly the young. Many fought and risked their lives for us. I am grateful that I have such strong people. I am glad to see many of you standing before me are survivors from this war. I thank you." I paused. "I also experienced the battlefield. It was brutal, I must say. However, it did give me a reality check. I was becoming like my father. I was letting the power get to my head even though you did not notice. I was beginning to not feel sorry for these people that fell from the sky to never see the world again. But this battle, it brought me back to reality. What I saw was probably nothing compared to what these brave heroes had seen. I am having a memorial constructed for those who died and the ones who live." I said more in the speech. It was mainly congratulating the people who had fought in the war. I called off the names of those who did not survive. I cried during this part because I remembered signing all of the death papers. Half way through, Blackfire put a comforting hand on my shoulder. It calmed me down a little. After the speech, all of the Tamaraneans cheered for me, saying that they could not have one this war without me. I gave the General recognition. I told them that he was the one who had made the strategies. They cheered for him, too. I told them that without Blackfire's help nothing would have been accomplished on my part.

"All hail Princess Komand'r!" They cheered together. When I was done speaking, they all said, "All hail Empress Koriand'r."

I went back to my room to pack my things. I was to go back to Earth. I was so happy, but I saw that Blackfire was upset that I was leaving. Her eyes were brimming with tears. "Do you want to come with me?" I asked her.

"No. I don't really want to go to Earth. I would like to remain here." She said. I began to cry with her. "It has been two and a half wonderful years."

"It has." I agreed with her and I hugged her tightly. "I could stay here." I said.

"No, you go back to your old life. Just come and visit once and a while, you know? I mean, we can fly faster than the speed of light. It would be nice to hear from you too. We'll keep in touch. I promise."

"Okay. We definitely will." I paused. "Since I am leaving, there needs to be an Empress." I said. I took my crown off of my head and put it on Blackfire.

"Me?" She asked.

"Who else would I chose? Besides, one of us has to keep the family name on the throne. And I saw you looking at that doctor." We laughed.

"Yeah, he is hot." She admitted.

"I am leaving in the morning." I said. I leaned against my dresser to support myself. Blackfire picked up my crutches and I put them on. "I will miss you." I said.

"I'll miss you too." She said to me. I then went on my computer and informed Tamaran that Blackfire was the new Empress.

The next morning came and I was to leave Tamaran. I hugged my sister good bye and we promised each other that we would keep in touch. I flew off with some belongings and when I got to space, I looked at the picture in the locket. I smiled to myself. I was finally going home. I realized that I had never opened Raven's letter. It could not hurt to open it now. I opened the letter.

Starfire,

You are reading this because you gave up hope, feel lost, or you are on your way back to Earth. If it's the last reason, then congratulations! You are so strong. But if you are one of the first two reasons, then you need help from a friend. And I am that friend. I looked into the future and I saw that Tamaran wins. You will win, Starfire.

You are loved by your friends. When you come back, I will still be at the tower. I will stay there until you come back because if you do come back, I don't want you to be confused if no one is in the tower.

Love your best friend,

Raven

Tears of joy rimmed my eyes. I began to fly faster. I wondered if Cyborg went back. I wondered if everyone was still at the tower. I could not wait to see friend Raven. I could not wait to see Beast Boy's smile. I could not wait to hug friend Cyborg. But most of all, I could not wait to kiss Robin and be in his arms once more. I looked down at my crutches on my wrists. I wondered how they would react to this. I was never to walk without assistance again. If I did, I would fall. I saw the top of Titan's tower! My heart was beating so fast I thought it would pop out of my chest! I carefully landed on the top of the tower. I looked around. It looked just like I remembered! I walked into the tower. "Hello?" I said. I said it again a little louder. I assumed that they were out at the moment. Maybe they were fighting crime? Out to lunch? It was around lunch time by now. I went into my room. Oh, how everything was exactly where I left it! Except when I looked at my bed, it looked like someone had been sleeping in it. I was confused. I shrugged it off as nothing and made my bed to the best of my ability. When I was satisfied, I went to the common room. I knew that my friends would have to walk through here when they returned. I sat on the couch. It smelled like home. I was so happy, words cannot describe it. I heard the door open. I stood up to see my friends, including Cyborg!

"And then when the guy was like…" Beast Boy stopped midsentence. "Starfire!" He said. I walked from behind the couch with my crutches, forgetting that they did not know of my disability yet.

"Friends!" I exclaimed and walked over as fast as I could to them. I started crying tears of joy. Beast Boy got to me first and gave me a hug. I took my crutches off to hug him. I was surprised at how much taller he was! He was an inch or two shorter than me, but this was definitely different. He seemed like he really grew up physically.

"I missed you Star." He said. He supported my weight.

"I missed you too."

"I'm so happy you're back." He whispered to me.

"I am happy to be back." I said. He helped me walk over to Cyborg. He picked me up and gave me a hug.

"Star." He said, not really believing it was me. "You're back. You're really back." I nodded, unable to speak because I knew if I did, I would break down crying. Raven then walked up to me. She let me lean on her for support as we hugged too.

"You read the note?" She asked me. I nodded to confirm her answer.

"On the…way…back here." I said. I do not think I've ever seen Raven cry out of joy before. I was even more surprised that nothing exploded when she felt her emotions. I was guessing she learned how to control her powers better than she already had. Raven nodded and hugged me tighter. It seemed like she did not want to let me go, afraid I would leave her…my best friend again. "I promise I will not leave for so long again." I whispered.

"How do you know?" She sniffed as she looked at me.

"Tamaran has a new Empress. I am no longer needed." She smiled and gave me another hug. She used her powers to get my crutches back and she helped me put them on. I looked over to Robin. He was still in a state of shock that I was here. Did he even want to see me? I hoped so. Even though he broke my heart two years ago, I still loved him. I walked over to him. "Robin." I said.

"Starfire." He said. "No, this can't be right. You can't be here. Not like this." He said as he eyed the braces on my legs. He ran to the elevator to his room.

"Sorry Star." Cyborg said and but a hand on my shoulder. "He's been taking it hard."

"This was the first day in months we got him to get out of the tower." Raven said. "I don't know what he does up there."

"I will go and find out." I said and took the elevator upstairs. I walked to his room, but he was not there. I wondered where he could be. I walked down the halls and heard a faint cry come from my room. I walked in my room. I saw Robin holding one of my pillows, my favorite one that I slept on every night, and crying into it. He seemed depressed. I walked over to him and sat next to him on my bed. "Robin." I began to cry, feeling his pain. "I'm here." I said. He looked up at me. I could tell he did despite the mask that hid his eyes from me.

"Is it really you? Or is this just another dream." He said. I reached out and wiped away a tear that spilled onto his cheek.

"It is me, Robin." I confirmed. "It truly is me." I went to hug him, but he stopped me.

"How do I know?" The pain and sadness on his face made me hurt even more. I wanted him to embrace me and kiss me. I tossed my crutches onto the floor and moved closer to him.

"Please Robin." I said. This time, he let me hug him. "I am here. I am here." I said over and over again as he cried into my shoulder.

"It really is you." He said and he kissed me! I kissed him right back. I missed the taste of his warm, tender lips on mine. When we stopped kissing, he looked me in the eyes. "I'm sorry I…" He started. I knew what he was apologizing for. It was when we were on the video chat and he hurt my feelings.

"I know. And I forgive you." I said. I knew he did not mean what he had said. He was upset and heartbroken that I had left him. I promised myself that I would not be leaving for a long time, not two and a half years again.

"I love you Starfire." He said. That was what I wanted to hear.

"I love you too Robin." I responded and we began to kiss again.

I know, horrible ending. I'm not very good at these lol. Hopefully you liked it enough to leave a review. I'm trying to end stories better, but I am still struggling. Hopefully the next one will be better XD

I doubt you guys will, but if you have requests for stories, let me know. If I like your idea, I'll consider it! =)
