How is that brothering you? My conscience asked.

'It's not supposed to work like that. Whoever is hit falls and stays in love with the first person they see!'

Maybe...Kid Flash and Jinx were-this sounds corny-mean to be…

'I don't know…I never learned about the arrows effects….wearing off.'

Maybe, it does…


It was Wednesday, three days until Kole's party.

Robin and Cyborg still hated each other, Beast Boy and Kid Flash were still 'in love' with Bumblebee, Jinx was still sulking, Raven was showing more her feeling regarding Beast Boy, and Starfire was floating near the ceiling every time I saw her.

I wasn't making very good progress.

Actually, I wasn't making any progress.

So, in an act of desperation, I decided to use me bow again.


I'm assuming my 'talk' with Kid Flash worked a little because I stumbled upon him in the hallway around seven in the evening.

"Jinx," he knocked on her door. I ducked into a shadow. "Look, I'm sorry." A muffled sob. I saw Kid Flash wince, knowing he was the cause for it. He sighed. I had to fix this!

But right now, repairing Kid Flash and Jinx's relationship would have to wait; I had a friendship to fix.


In the living room, Starfire was playing a game of 'Go the Fish' with Beast Boy, Raven was reading near by, and Cyborg was eating his lunch; Robin was no where to be seen.

"Hi guys."

Spoke too soon.

He got a "Hello", "Greetings!", and a "Hey Robin," from Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy. He and Cyborg exchanged icy glares before Robin made his way to Starfire and the others.

"So what are you playing?"

"Oh friend Robin! We are play the 'Go the Fish'!" Starfire beamed. "It is most fun!" Robin smiled at the alien.

"Cool." I decided to try that 'BB loves Rae' thing again, this time aiming for the back of the changeling's head.

They weren't going to be too happy because right before the arrow hit Beast Boy, Robin of all people, stepped in the way, was hit with the arrow, and he was looking at…..Raven.

Way to go, my conscience retorted.

'Oh man; oh man; oh man!'

"Raven! I love you!" Robin hugged her. Starfire and Beast Boy's jaw dropped. Raven tried to struggle free of Robin's grip. Cyborg smirked. I slapped my forehead.

"Robin! What are you doing?!" Raven demanded, trying to get free. "Let go!"

"Never!!" Robin hugged her tighter. Starfire gasped.

"Friend Robin! Please!" she begged. "Friend Raven wishes for you to release your grip that is so firm!"

"Let! Me! GO!" Raven's purple eyes glowed red and she gained another set. I paled.

Creepy! My conscience squeaked.

"Ah!" Robin withdrew his tight grip from Raven and jumped back.

"Raven, are you alright?" Cyborg asked, concerned.

"You are the okay?" Starfire put her hand on Raven's shoulder.

"I'm fine. Thanks." Raven said icily.

"Good." Starfire's voice broke. "Because I am not." She wiped her eye and flew out of the room.

"Starfire!" Raven flew after her.

"Dude! What did you do?" Beast Boy asked Robin who was getting over Raven's get-another-set-of-glowing-red-eyes phase.

"Hey! It's not my fault! I can't help it if I love Raven!"

'Dang!' I ran back to my room and closed the door.


I put the bow under the bed.

"I am not using you ever again."

So, what are you going to do?

'I don't know! I feel terrible! I've messed up everyone's love life!'

I would tell you what to do, if I know what to tell you...I'll sleep on it.

Sleep. It wouldn't do much, but I fell asleep anyway.


I woke up hours later. I checked the clock.

11:30 p.m.

I sighed. I needed something to eat.

I made my way into the kitchen and got myself a glass of water. I heard a small yawn.

"Hey Starfire."

"Oh! Anna! I did not notice you." She floated over. "What awakened you at this hour that is so late?"

"…..Thoughts." She nodded.

"Oh…..I believe it is the thought of friends Robin and Raven that has awakened me." I sighed.

"I know. I heard it from Beast Boy." Starfire sighed too.

"I believe my….'karma'……is catching up with me."

"How?" I asked.

"I do not know, but friend Robin no longer is concerned about my feelings. Before, he was always interested." Starfire sighed again. She shot a small starbolt at a small spot on the ceiling, making the spot bigger.

"How'd you do that?" I asked.

"Shoot my starbolt?"

"No, hit that spot on the ceiling." I pointed.

"Oh……I just really wanted to hit the particular spot, so I did." Starfire answered simply.

"How?"

"I really wanted to. I learned that, you need to want it. You need to want it more than anything else…Like I wanted Robin to returned my feelings…I guess I didn't want them enough."

"But you wanted to hit that spot on the ceiling." We laughed a bit.

"No, not really. I've been working on my aim that way." I thought for a moment.

"Sorry I kept you up Starfire."

"There is no problem!" She smiled. I waved before I ran back to my room.

I was going to fix this.


I'm free!

Yes! I don't know about you, but I just got out of school yesterday (5/16/08)! And lucky for you, that means faster updates! Now this story's coming to a close now that Anna's gotten some help from our red-haired alien friend!

And this chapter's long than the last one I believe, so stay tuned for the next update!
