It started during on of those "girl bonding" hang outs that Starfire had insisted on. We were both in her room with a bunch of candy, popcorn, chick flicks and magazines.

"Friend Raven, this magazine states that the boy who has 'the feelings' for you will either show it boldly or very discreetly...is that usual?" I looked up from my own magazine and looked at Starfire, her expression showed a mix between focus and puzzlement.

"Uh....sure Starfire," I replied uncertainly, "but I should warn you I don't know much about boys so..." I trailed off before rasing an eyebrow. "Why?" Starfire blushed a light pink.

"Oh...um...nothing!" She ducked behind her magazine as she pretended to read an article about a new movie. I nodded slowly.

"Right....sure..." I opened a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels and bit into one.

"Friend Raven, this magazine says that boys will often tease you is they 'like' you," Starfire brought up. I stopped mid-bit and lowered the pretzel.

"Now why all the sudden interest in boys Starfire?" I asked. Starfire blushed again.

"Oh. No reason!" She quickly opened a pack of chocolate-caramels and popped one in her mouth so she couldn't answer any further questions. I rasied an eyebrow.

"You like someone...don't you?" I asked, the idea of Robin in mind. Starfire gasped and shook her head.

"No! I do not have 'the feelings' for anyone Raven! I do not! Romance means very little to me and I have no....you are not doing the 'purchasing' of this are you?" I shook my head.

"No Starfire, I'm not buying this...who is he? Is he someone on the team?" Starfire's blush grew as she nodded.

"Yes," she squeaked.

Yep. She is SO into Robin...I knew it, I thought, a small smirk on my face.

"Is it...Cyborg?" I teased. Starfire shook her head.

"No, it is not Cyborg."

"Beast Boy?"

"Oh no! It is not Beast Boy!" Starfire laughed.

"Hmm.....then I guess there's only one boy left on the team....Robin!" Starfire's face flushed a deep red that could put a ripe strawberry to shame as she curled up into a small ball on her bed.

"Uh...maybe...?" I chuckled.

"I guessed that," I said. Starfire peeked out of her arm cocoon.

"Really?" I nodded. "Oh Raven, do you think he does the liking of me back?" I shrugged.

"I don't know Starfire...I don't know."


The next day, Starfire had a hard time looking at Robin now that I knew about her little secret

"Hey Star, could you pass the salt?" Robin asked. Starfire nodded.

"Yes..." She picked up the salt shaker and gave it to Beast Boy. Beast Boy looked at her quizzically and Robin rasied a masked eyebrow.

"Uh...okay then. Beast Boy could you pass the salt?" Robin asked again, this time to Beast Boy who handed him the salt. I looked over at Starfire as I sipped my tea. She looked back and blushed.

"Mmm-mmm! Bacon and eggs!" Cyborg said, grinning as he sat down next to Beast Boy with a large plate, "what a great way to start the day!" His grin widened as he put a piece of bacon and an egg into his mouth. Beast Boy looked at him in disgust.

"Dude! Speak for yourself!" He wrinkled his nose, "I've been both a chicken and a pig!" Cyborg swallowed.

"Well be glad this isn't you! Otherwise it'd really be green eggs and ham!" Cyborg cracked himself up. "Get it? Green eggs and ham!" he gasped between fits of laughter, "'cause BB's green!" he kept laughing.

"Glad you're amusing yourself," I commented, picking up my empty cup and bowl. I walked over to the counter and placed them in the sink. I glanced over at Starfire who had crouched over her food so much that you'd think she'd been eating it right off the plate. Robin noticed this too and got up to sit down next to her.

"Star? You okay?" he asked. She nodded meekly.

"Yes Robin," she replied trying to re-collect herself, "I am very plesant."

"Really? Because if it's about that early morning practice last week, I know you were really tired-"

"Oh no! I am most content," Starfire chirped, cutting him off. Robin just stared at her.

"Okay then," he said, clearly unconvinced as he returned to his seat. Starfire nodded as she stared at her food.

"Right."


I was sitting on the couch reading a new book I had gotten earlier that week when I felt someone touch my shoulder.

"Ah!" I jumped, startled. I found Starfire sitting on her knees next to me on the couch, I gasped and put a hand on my chest, "Oh Starfire....it's just you..."

"Did I frighten you friend Raven?" she asked, looking apologetic.

"A little...did you want to talk to me?" Starfire nodded. I shifted so I was facing her, "alright. What do you want to talk about?"

"It is the feelings I have for Robin...are they showing? Does he know?" She asked. I shrugged.

"A bit. He might. Do remember Starfire, he might like you back." She seemed to brighten up at that.

"You are right! Because I feel this and he does also even if he does not show it!" She stood up, one fist clutched and her expression determined and hopeful, "and I will not give up without a fight!" she turned to me, "thank you Raven, you have been most helpful! I now shall find-" The door to the Ops room opened to reveal none other than the topic of Starfire's self pep-talk.

"Eeep!" she ducked behind me. Robin rasied an eyebrow and I just shrugged and he turned the corner into the hallway that led to his office.

"Just so you know, that probably didn't help your situation."


A/n: Hm...how about he go with an alternate Tokyo or something, 'kay? I took the lines from the movie because...well....yeah!
