Okay, BIG question. SHOULD BOY BLUNDER MESS IT UP AGAIN? If Robin DOES mess it up again, the story'll be like a chapter or two longer, but if he doesn't...well, I'm pretty sure you all are sick of this story by now anyway, so just let me know!

Sorry, I meant to put this in previous chapters, but I kept forgetting. This is pre-Tokyo. Although you guys have probably figured that out already, I'm adding it here just in case.

Morning came. Nightwing groaned. He'd never been much of a morning person. Especially on this particular morning.

Starfire approached him after her sunrise-watching, smiling sadly. She had confronted him earlier about this issue, and he'd explained everything. She had accepted that he was going, but mostly because Robin was sure to come back here. Nightwing wasn't as confidant about this. He hated Robin, honestly. Robin could never do anything right, and Nightwing could only hope he wouldn't mess this up again.

"I'm gonna miss you, Star...well, if all goes well, I might not have to," he said, wrapping her in an embrace. She hugged him closely as well, hoping she didn't seem too miserable.

"I shall miss you as well, Nightwing, and..." she trailed off, not wanting to voice her doubts, but Nightwing knew it anyway. She didn't trust Robin on this relationship-type problem either. Nightwing cupped her cheek, forcing her to look at him.

"Hey, it'll be okay. And I want you to know, Star...I've always loved you. Always. And that'll never change." Starfire gave another weak smile, and nodded. He knew he shouldn't have, but he kissed her one last time. Who knew, it might have been the last time he ever saw her...again. Reluctantly pullng away, Nightwing grabbed a small machine out of his belt, much like the one Warp had used when traveling through time. Aiming it at thin air, he was about to open the time-tunnel when the other three Titans hurried towards him.

"So...you're leaving," surmised Cyborg. Nightwing nodded, and Beast Boy handed something to him.

"What's this?" asked Nightwing, confused. Beast Boy grinned sheepishly.

"It's a conitioner bottle...for me in the future, you know, in case they don't have them. I don't wanna go bald." Nightwing rolled his eyes, though no one could see, and smirked.

"Right...anyway, I'll be seeing you guys around." He glanced at Starfire again. She'd moved away and sat on the couch, covering her mouth, as if a protest might escape if she didn't. Her eyes glistened with tears, but she nodded again. Hoping beyond hope he'd fixed everything, Nightwing opened the portal and stepped in.


"N-no way," whispered Changeling as the dots took shape. They'd been moving around for barely minutes, and were thickening and coloring. The figure was starting to look very familiar. It turned around, now fully formed, and smiled at them.

"Hello, friends! Is there a reason to your staring? Perhaps there is still mustard on my face?" it asked. Robin didn't even remember running towards her, or hugging her, all he knew was that she was there, alive and well.

"Starfire!" Cyborg, Changeling, and Raven gathered around, one smiling, one enveloping the two in a bear hug, and one literally changing into a bear to hug them. Starfire giggled happily, kissing Robin on the cheek.

"Is it some special occasion? I am afraid I have forgotten it." Robin, still red and choking, both from the hugs and from the kiss, was unable to answer. Starfire took one look at him and figured it out, though, distangling herself from the group. "Ah. I remember now."

"PARTY!" yelled Cyborg, oblivious to Robin and Starfire's discomfort. He and Changeling ran to the kitchen, while Raven merely saw it fit to leave the two alone, at least for a little bit. Robin sat at least two feet away from her, unsure of how she felt about him.

"I'm sorry," he murmured finally. "It was my fault, and if I hadn't messed up, if I'd done something sooner..." Starfire smiled sadly.

"It is fine. As long as you never make the mistake again..."

"It's not fine! Every single thing I do gets you hurt! And I'm sick and tired of it! I don't want--" But what Robin didn't want, no one knew, for a time tunnel had opened up, and out tumbled Nightwing, cursing.

"Dammit, time travel makes my head hurt," he muttered. Straightening, he glanced around, grinning broadly when he noticed Starfire. "But it's totally worth it." He grabbed her and kissed her, deepening it slightly. Even Robin was disgusted as Starfire began kissing him back. She suddenly shrieked and jumped back.

"Nightwing, you are disappearing!" The superhero looked down at himself, and his eyes widened.

"Gimme the time portal," Cyborg instructed. "Robin has to go back."

"No, not yet, I need to talk to him--" Nightwing started.

"No. Robin goes back, or you don't exist anymore." Nightwing gave a pained look, but he agreed. He was turning steadily white, and his outline was blurring. Starfire was almost biting her nails off in worry. Cyborg opened the time tunnel, gesturing to Robin, who stepped in without a backward glance.


He tumbled out of the opposite end, hitting the floor face-first. Groaning, he stood up to see three shell-shocked Titans. "Raven? Cy? Beast Boy?" They all nodded. Robin glanced around wildly, and then saw her on the couch, watching him in anticipation. "Starfire."
Not much of a cliffie, but oh well. Just let me know if you guys want more mistake making or for me to just end the story. Sorry this chapter was so short.

Please review!
