Starfire was looking through the guest list again making sure everything was in order. She had never worried so much about an arrangement. But then of course it was her wedding day tomorrow. What should have been giving her great joy was unfortunately only giving her sadness. Nightwing had asked her many times if she wished to cancel again, but she decided it needed to be done. They had already tried to get married twice but with no success. But the young Tameranean knew in her heart, that her dear best friend would want her to be happy. Cyborg walked into the living room from working out in the gym and saw her siting at the table alone.

"What you up to Star?" he asked.

"Just going over the list of guests for the wedding." she replied.

"Again?" He raised his eyebrow. "You do know that the wedding is tomorrow right? It's kind of late to be making changes." He sat next to her looking at the list as well.

"Yes it is foolish of me to do this. I guess I am just nervous about tomorrow." She smiled a little.

After years of living with her, it was easy to tell when Starfire was lying. Cyborg gave her a big hug to assure her that he was there for her. She gently started to cry again. This was a routine thing every now and then.

"I am sorry Cyborg." she whispered. "It has been two years since our friend had past away and I still must rely on you all for comfort."

"Hey hey, its okay Star. Don't go beaten yourself up." He said calmly. "I miss her too. Its not easy. She was more than just a teammate. She was family. We're all in this together. And I'll always have your back." He smiled at her with that brotherly smile of his making her smile back.

"Whoa dude, is the best man already moving in on the bride?!" Beast Boy called out as he stood in the doorway with that devilish smile of his.

"You must be talkin bout you, you little Grass Stain. Since theres two best men and I'm innocent as a angel." Cyborg replied.

Starfire smiled more as her friends began their friendly quarrel.

"Oh yeah sure. Is that what the app you installed in your head said?" Beast Boy plopped down on the couch. "So what you guys really up to?"

"Looking at the guest list." Cyborg chuckled.

"Again?" Beast Boy raised his eyebrow. "Anyhow, isn't it Nightwing's job to be comforting the bride to be?"

"He is at the club of countries of making the last minute wedding arrangements." she answered her green friend.

"And I just got done with them." Nightwing spoke as he entered the room.

Starfire smiled and flew over to him and embraced him in a big Tameranean hug, not noticing Nightwing cringe from her strength. Though he didn't mind. He had gotten used to it for so long that now its only a sting.

"Haha so what is my bride to be been up to?"

"Going over the guest list." Beast Boy answered.

"Again?" Nightwing raised his eyebrow.

Starfire giggled bashfully as he smiled and caressed her cheek then kissed her full of love, until Beast Boy suddenly interrupted the moment.

"Okay okay break it up! Save it for the honeymoon guys."

"Yeah" Cyborg agreed. "Besides we got something important to do tonight. Bachelor Party!"

Nightwing looked to them. "Whoa whoa guys. I thought we agreed no bachelor parties. It's not fair to Starfire."

"Aw come on dude! It's tradition! If you guys want I'll throw Star a bachelorette party. I'll even be a chippendale for the ladies." Beast Boy smiled like he was hot stuff.

Starfire could not help but laugh and smile.

"No no thank you for your offer but I will be fine. I do not need a party for bachelorettes. But you should have your party though my love."

Nightwing looked to her. "But Starfire..."

"None of the buts. I insist that you all have your fun. As Beast Boy says, it is tradition in your planet's culture. I would feel terrible if you did not partake." She kissed his cheek and smiled as Nightwing blushed.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

She nodded happily. Nightwing kissed her hand and smiled. "Okay."

Cyborg and Beast Boy cheered and basically pushed Nightwing down the hall to change into to casual clothes. Minutes later, they all walk back and head towards the elevator. Starfire stood in the kitchen and watched them as they left. Cyborg stopped and walked back to Starfire.

"Hey Star," he asked. "you sure this is okay? I mean...I understand this isn't fair for you. Its bad enough that Dick's got two best men and you don't even have-"

"I insist. Everything is fine." She stopped him and smiled kindly. "Raven would've wanted us to move forward. Besides, even if I did have one it would not be the same without her. It's best this way. I give the pinky of my promise, I am okay."

He watched her and nodded slowly and patted her shoulder. "I better get to the guys. BB will probably try to drive the T-car again. Or knowing him something worse." He showed slight worry at the thought then smiled and left to the garage.

Starfire made some mouth worms as a snack and sat on the couch to watch a movie. Towards the middle of the movie, she looked to the spot on the couch where Raven always sat. Very slowly tears formed in her eyes. How she wished she could go for one day without crying. She had heard that on Earth, most humans could not cry over the loss of a loved one in just a matter of months. But it was not easy for Starfire. She had lost more than a teammate. More than a friend. She had lost a sister. A true sister.

"I do not know how." she spoke softly. "I do not know why. But I keep having this feeling, that you are not gone. That you are still here...Raven"
