And so it began. It all started with a date. It was their one-year anniversary since Tokyo, and Robin made sure to thoroughly think the date through. They were going to go to a five star restaurant on the lakefront with an amazing view. He had paid extra in advance to have it set up with candles and rosepetals and all that stuff that girls like. At the end of the night, they were going to go on the ferris wheel. He had a promise ring to give her… and he was going to tell her he loved her. Until, all hell broke loose.

"Slade did what?"

"He broke into the Underground Tech Base for the U.S. Government. " Cyborg said, briefing Robin.

"The one with the missile codes?" Robin asked and Cyborg nodded.

This was not even the hell mentioned before.

"It seems like if we go there and stop Slade, I can change the codes. But really, it's you and Star's anniversary. Go and have fun. We can take care of it." Cyborg told him.

"You are sure?" Starfire asked.

"Of course we are." Raven responded.

"Thanks guys. We appreciate it." Robin said, taking Starfire by the arm and leading her outside to the R-Cycle. "No. This isn't right. We should go help them." Robin said, feeling his hero duty call to him. She looked at him with mixed feelings. First shock, then sadness, then anger. Her eyes glowed green, she vaporized her dress off of her so she was in her usual uniform. She then flew fast to catch up with the others.

…There it is.

It was a short fight, seeing as Slade just felt like he needed to do something evil after falling off the radar for a year. The codes were reset, and the Titans returned home. It was about midnight , because the trip to the UTB was about 3 hours when you weren't driving supersonic speed. They all sat in the main room eating their usual midnight donuts. Robin moved a little closer to Starfire, and she scooted away. He raised an eyebrow, and she turned away.

"So, what was everybody's favorite part of the day?"

"My TOFU SANDWICH!" Beast Boy yelled.

"Kickin' Slade's sorry little butt! BOOYAH!" Cyborg responded, a little louder than usual.

"My book." Raven said in her usual monotone. Starfire stood up and walked away, but before opening the door, she looked at Robin and said,

"The part where I didn't have to spend time with you." And left the room. Robin got up to follow her, and met her in the hallway.

"Star, why are you so mad?" he asked.

"Because, clearly our other friends could have handled the problem with Slade, and we could have had a night full of wonder." She responded.

"But we're heroes, Starfire. My duty is to the city first. I know they could have handled it, but I felt guilty. Now I feel even worse than I did before because I hurt you."

"Yes, well you should indeed feel the guilt." She said bitterly.

"I'm sorry…" He apologized.

"You are forgiven. But we are the over. I cannot be with one who has divided loyalties. Goodbye, Robin. I will return your stuff to your room first thing tomorrow morning."

"But it was just this once! Give me another chance… please?" he begged.

"But it was not just this once." She began to list all the times he had done that before dates.

"I'm sorry. Goodnight, Starfire."

"Goodnight, friend Robin." Those words stung like a salt on an open wound. Ever since they started dating, she had stopped calling him friend Robin and began calling him her Robin. He took the ring out of his pocket, and held it in his hand.

"I'll always love you, Koriand'r of Tamaran."

"Wanna talk about it?" A voice said, and Robin turned to see Raven standing in the doorway.
