Do Over
Chapter 5: The End of the Date
At The Park
Danny and Starfire had arrived to the park and Danny was actually taken by the view from in the air.
"Wow..."Danny said as he admired the beauty of the park at night.
"Why yes, this park is one of me and my friend's favorite spots to do the "hanging out"...it always looks so beautiful from up in the air..."Starfire said and Danny looked at her.
"Yeah...beautiful...'Danny said as he looked at her, while Starfire continued to admire the view.
'Come now, Danny...let me do the showing you around...'Starfire said in her broken but cute accent.
"Lead the way, Starbolts...'Danny said, only to stop and Starfire looked surprised at him.
"What...what did you just call me?...'Starfire asked in a shock sounding voice and Danny was worried he said something wrong.
"I...I don't know...I mean...you said that power you had earlier in the bank is called Star Bolts and...I don't know...it just came to me, I guess...'Danny said, wondering if a nickname was too soon.
However, Starfire smiles. Danny came up with the same affectionate nickname he gave her himself, all over again,
"His mind might not remember our bond, but his heart does..." Starfire thought, before sending him a loving smile.
"I like that nickname...'Starfire said and Danny smiled a little more easily at that.
"Oh...good..."Danny said, feeling relieved while Starfire giggled sweetly.
The two continued their flight together, admiring the views of the park as Starfire showed him around. During that time, Starfire talked more about her personal experiences here with her friends and how much she has come to love this planet during the short time she has been living here. During that time, Danny kept sending glances at her, of how her smiled lit up and how she talked so happily as she spoke about her experiences here. It made Danny smile a little more as he felt something around her...
Something he likes.
"I got to say...she is awfully sweet..and the way her smile lights up a room is so-
"Anyway, Danny...are you liking the city so far?..."Starfire asked, snapping Danny out of his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, oh...yeah, I like it...'Danny said, trying to act casual and not like he was outright staring at her again.
Danny looked at Starfire, noticed she was floating and got an idea.
"Say Starfire...you fly pretty fast, don't you?...'Danny asked.
"I do believe that I fly at an above average speed, yes...why do you ask?...'Starfire asked, almost in confusion.
'Well...I was wondering, want to do a little race to see who is faster?...'Danny asked and Starfire's smiled perked up.
"A race? To where?..."Starfire asked with interest.
"How about from here to the end of the park? First one there wins...'Danny said.
"Very well , Danny...I accept your challenge...'Starfire said with a smile.
Danny smiled as both her and the pretty alien princess were on their mark, getting said and about to go.
To see who was the faster one between them.
One minute later
"I do believe that I am the victorious one of this race...'Starfire giggled as she was at the end of the park, while Danny landed in front of her, panting a bit.
He was actually surprised by how fast she was.
"You are...a lot faster than you look...'Danny said as he caught his breath.
He was sincerely surprised by the speed that she was going that he had to kick it up a notch to keep up and even then, she beat him by one second.
"You have not seen anything yet, my cute companion...'Starfire said with a giggle, remember the few playful races and chases they had together after they started over.
Those were the ones she enjoyed and not the chasing she did where he wanted to get away from her. Starfire tried to shake away those memories, sent him a sweet smile and asked him this.
"So, Danny...was that...the fun?...'Starfire asked and Danny sent her a smile, being a good sport about it.
"Yeah, that was fun..."Danny said, meaning it.
He mostly only ever uses his powers to deal with bad guys and well, he has never actually used his powers to actually play with someone before. And the fact that Starfire has powers of her own, actually made it more fun. He actually kind of like hanging out with someone who has powers and who wasn't trying to destroy him.
"But the next time, I'll win...'Danny said and Starfire giggled.
'Well, I look forward to our eventual rematch...'Starfire said as she giggled and Danny laughed along side her.
Once they were done, they both realized that they were still in the air and the full moon was out, making it a very breathtaking sight.
"It is such a beautiful night, is it not?...'Starfire said, as she looked at Danny.
Now she realizes, they are both looking into each other's eyes and smiling.
"Yeah...beautiful...'Danny said in a soft sort of way.
It made Starfire smile.
On the ground
Danny and Starfire had landed and Danny saw a guy selling ice cream and went to go buy some for him and Starfire. As he was gone, Starfire heard a noise.
"Psst...Girlfriend of the Great One...'A male voice was heard and Starfire recognized it.
"Mr. The Frostbite?...'Starfire asked as she looked around and then saw the yeti appearing into view from behind a large oak tree.
"I am here...'He said.
"It is you? Wait, how does my darling not sense you?..."Starfire asked.
"Ancient Far Frozen technique...I am able to cloak my ghostly energies enough to avoid being detected by those who possess the ghost sense, but only for a few minutes a day...anyway, I have good news...the great one can now have the cure...'Frostbite said and Starfire's smile became a mile wide.
"Really?...Oh, glorious..."Starfire said, happy that her beloved will be all better now.
'Where is it?..."Starfire asked.
"I will give it to him soon , but I believe it would be best to end your date with him first and take him to your tower...I will await there to give it to him once you both finish your date...'Frostbite said before disappearing.
"But wait...what do you mean by-..."
It was too late, the large Yeti ghost was gone and Starfire blinked in confusion.
"Finish our date?...'Starfire asked out loud in confusion.
A few moments later, Danny appeared with two chocolate ice cream cones.
"Here you go, Starfire...'Danny said as he handed her the ice cream.
"Oh, thank you, Danny..."Starfire said as she quickly scarfed down the frozen dairy treat.
Once Danny was gone, Starfire glanced at the time and saw that it was only 9:59pm and Starfire sent him a look.
"Oh my, I do believe that it is getting the late...'Starfire said and Danny blinked.
"It is?...'Danny said as he glanced at his watch and nearly paled.
It was almost 10 in the evening.
"Oh man, mom and dad are gonna kill me for missing curfew...'Danny thought in dismay, wondering how he could have gotten so careless.
"Danny...Um...since it is getting the late...would if be asking to much to ask you if...you could escort me back to my home?...'Starfire asked and Danny blinked.
He saw that it was already 10 and the damage is done. He then saw Starfire just standing there smiling and he knew what his answer was.
"Oh why not...I'm already late, what difference is a few more minutes going to make? Besides, it's not her fault and what kind of guy doesn't at the very least walk his date home?..."Danny thought, before nodding.
Besides, a few minutes of scolding is worth it for a girl like her.
"Sure, why not?...'Danny said as Starfire smiled, before taking hand.
The two then took to the skies, holding hands as they flew to their destination.
Titans Tower.
At Titans Tower
"THIS IS YOUR HOME?!...'Danny asked after seeing the large T-Shaped building.
"Why yes, is it not the nice? This is where I leave with my dear friends and where we stay were we are not protecting the city...'Starfire said, while Danny looked over the building.
"Wow..."Danny said.
"Would you like to come inside? Perhaps get some liquid sustenance in the form of the beverage called the soda?...'Starfire asked.
"As much as I'd like to, I can't... I better be getting back home...not to mention I got to get my dad's.._Danny's eyes widen as he suddenly recalled the very reason why he came to this city in the first place.
He actually slapped his forehead and dragged his hand down his face.
"Oh man...how the HECK could I forget about Johnny13?!...'Danny thought, unable to believe this.
What on Earth could have made him forget about finding his enemy and getting his dad's gadget back?!
"Danny? Are you the alright?...'He heard Starfire's voice.
He looked at her and noticed how lovely she looked in the moonlight and remembered what made him forget about his mission.
"Oh yeah...that's right...'Danny mentally sighed.
If Sam or Jazz ever found out he actually ignored dealing with an enemy due to being distracted by some girl, he knew that he would never hear the end of it.
"Still...it is just Johnny and the worse he could do is flirt with some guy's girlfriend and run some red lights...'Danny thought as he sent Starfire a smile.
"I am fine..."Danny said..." Anyway Starfire...It was nice meeting you..."
Starfire wondered where Frostbite was, since he said that he would be here. She better just finish things up with Danny like he said.
"I have also have a most enjoyable experience in meeting you Danny...'Starfire said, before a shy, unsure came to her face.
Before he gets his memory, she just has to know his feelings in the most unbiased way possible...
"Did you...like our date?...'Starfire asked, bracing for the impact of his answer.
"Yeah, I had a really great time tonight...'Danny said, without a moment's hesitation.
Starfire heard this and felt so happy right now and it was obvious with her smile.
"Did you like our date?...'Danny asked and Starfire nodded.
"Why yes, I believe that this was a glorious first date...'Starfire said and Danny smiled at that, blushing as he rubbed the back of his head, before some thoughts came to his mind.
He knows that he likes this girl...a lot...and he doesn't mind that she is an alien from another dimension but that's a small snag...could he really keep seeing her like this?
"Despite the Johnny thing, I wouldn't trade tonight for anything...but can I keep seeing her?...'Danny thought as he decided to just ask.
"I really like you, Starfire...'Danny said and Starfire sent him that beautiful smile of hers once again.
"I also really like you, Danny...'Starfire said and Danny felt happy upon hearing that.
"That's great and well...I was wondering if...I don't know...maybe you'd like to go on another date, sometimes?...'Danny asked in a shy, awkward tone as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I would love too...'Starfire said and Danny looked surprised to hear that, before smiling excitedly.
"Really? AWESOME! I...I mean...cool...'Danny said, trying to keep his emotions under control.
"Perhaps...for our next date...we can have it in your dimension?...'Starfire asked and Danny's eyes widened at that.
"Uh...maybe...but Starfire...I... I don't know how you could come to my world, I mean...I came here from a portal and my world might be a little different..."Danny started.
"I do not think so, while I have not seen beings called "ghosts" from this world, there are many humans who have powers, just like you...'Starfire said and Danny's eyes widened at that.
"Wait? You know?!...'Danny exclaimed.
"I had witness you morph and saw your white hair become black...but do not worry, I promise to X'Hal that your secret shall remain safe with me..."Starfire said and Danny's eyes widened and also thought she meant she saw his brief transformation in the alley from earlier.
'She knows my secret?...and she still wanted to go out with me?..."Danny thought in disbelief and while a part of him was worried, a bigger part of him felt that he could trust Starfire.
'So...you don't mind that I'm..like this?...'Danny asked, feeling insecure.
His entire love life, it seems any girl he liked preferred one half of him and rejected the other. Such as Paulina preferring Phantom but rejecting Fenton and Valerie preferring Fenton and rejecting Phantom. Heck, this entire night, he thought that Starfire was into Phantom.
"Why would I mind that you use your powers to protect others? You are just like me and my friends, in fact, some of them were once humans too...'Starfire said and Danny blinked, before smiling softly.
"She knows of my powers...she knows I am half human...and she still likes me...wow...'Danny thought, before he sent Starfire another, almost smitten kind of smile.
"You're really cool, you know that, right?...'Danny said and Starfire smiled.
"Before you leave Danny...may I see your dark haired form once again..."Starfire asked, getting an idea on how to end this on a good note.
Danny, not seeing any problem, did as she asked.
"You know, your white haired form makes you attractive in Tameranean way...'Starfire said and Danny, like the last time, look unsure by that comment and tried to answer as best as he could.
"Um..thanks?...'He said, not sure what else to say.
Then to his surprise, Starfire then flirtatiously wrapped her arms around him and sent him those bedroom eyes that turned his insides into jelly.
"However, you are still the attractive in the cute boy way in this form too...'Starfire said flirtatiously and Danny's blush came back, as well as his weak knee.
"Oh...Uh...I...I..thank you..."Danny said after a lot of stammering and Starfire giggled.
"I...I probably should be getting back to my home dimension soon...'Danny said, but made no move to push her off.
Good sign.
Starfire then had one final test that she wanted to make. She just wanted to see if he would have done it, if she had done it the right way.
"Before you go Danny...I...would like to make a request if you do not mind?...'Starfire said after letting him go and took a step back, wanting to be safe.
'What is it, Starfire?...'Danny asked, wondering what is on her mind.
'As I said...I do like you the very much and I find you to be the very cute as well...'Starfire said and Danny blushed even more at that.
'And...before you go, I wanted to know if perhaps...you would like to engage in lip contact with me...if you want to that is?..."Starfire asked and Danny looked confused.
"Lip contact?...'Danny asked clueless like before he registered what she just said.
"Wait...do you mean...like kissing?...'Danny asked surprised.
"Yes...but only if you want to...I won't make you if you do not wish to kiss me...'Starfire said, being careful.
Danny looked surprised and Starfire thought she did something wrong before. Thankfully, Danny now had a smile on his face and actually looked excited.
"Sure!...I mean...I mean...okay, if you insist...'Danny said with a chuckle, looking like he was trying hard not to show how excited he is.
He even pulled out his breath spray again and used it, making it obvious that he wants this. Starfire smiled and tried hard not to shed tears of happiness.
'He would have kissed me that night...Oh Danny..."Starfire thought in relief and happiness.
"Alright...shall we...start with the puckering up?...'Starfire asked and Danny blushed as he nodded.
"Yeah...okay..."Danny said, his blush getting deeper now.
He stood there, with his lips puckered out and Starfire giggled, feeling so happy and relieved right now that she decided to show him the kiss she wants to give him. Starfire grabbed him by the shoulders and Danny momentarily opened his eyes and then Starfire pulled him towards her, capturing his lips in a big kiss and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Danny was momentarily surprised by her sudden, bold actions, but quickly melted into the kiss, closing his eyes as he kissed her, even holding her the the waist as they continued their lip lock.
Starfire felt him kissing her back and resisted the urge to shed a tear. She didn't want anything to spoil this moment.
"Mmmmm...'Starfire let out as she continued to kiss her beloved, who was still kissing her back.
After about 30 seconds of full on lip contact, this sound could be heard...
MUAH!~
Starfire pulled away from Danny, ending their second first kiss together. She then saw how Danny was right now. His entire face was as red as a cherry, his eyes were drooping a bit with a gleam of infatuation, he had a dreamy smile on his face as looked to be like he was lost in some sort of day dream.
Starfire smiled, knowing he had like that kiss as much as she did and that he gave his full consent to it.
"Did you...like that?...'Starfire asked and Danny snapped out and nodded, and then let out some chuckles, being too stuck in a passionate haze to properly form words.
Starfire smiled and couldn't resist now. He looks so adorable like this. She gave him another, smaller kiss on the lips, before letting him go. Danny was still blushing and looking at her in that lovesick sort of way.
Starfire then noticed something from behind him and smiled.
"I do believe that it is time to go our separate ways, my cute companion...I look forward to our next date...but until then, I wish you a good night...'Starfire said as she winked at him and playfully waved before entering the tower once more.
Danny just stood there, with that love sick look on his face, even after she went inside. He slowly touched his own lips, still unable to believe what just happened and how unbelievable tonight has been. He let out a happy sigh as he felt his young heart fluttering.
"I'm the luckiest guy in the world!...'He said in a smitten tone of voice as he thought about the pretty alien girl he just locked lips with.
Just then, his ghost sense went off, snapping him out of his lovesick fit.
"Huh?...'Danny exclaimed as he morphed into his ghost half.
"I see you had a nice date, huh? Great One?...'Frostbite said.
"Frostbite?...What are you doing here?...'Danny asked, relaxing at the sight of his ally.
"Returning something to you..."Frostbite said.
"Returning what?..."Danny asked in confusion as Frostbite revealed a glowing blue orb in his hand.
"Your memories...'Frostbite said as he then let the ball enter Danny's head, causing his eyes to glow bright blue, before the boy passed out onto the ground, still glowing.
'Danny?!...'Starfire exclaimed as she came back to the roof and picked him up.
"Is he...alright?..."Starfire asked in concern.
"Do not worry, my dear...He is fine...his brain is just healing..."Frostbite exclaimed.
After a few moments, the glowing stopped and Danny began to stir awake, he then noticed that he is in Starfire's arms.
"Starbolts? What's going on?..."Danny asked.
"Danny...um...what is the last thing that you remember about today?...And what happened yesterday?...'Starfire asked in a worried tone.
"Today, I came to see if you wanted to go on a date but we had to deal with that Rancid creep and last night, you were in my world, where I took you to the Nasty Burger and we made out together in that valley before getting interrupted...'Danny said and before he realized, Starfire gave him a bone crushing hug.
"HURRAY! MY DARLING IS BACK!...'Starfire said in happiness before she let go and gave Danny another big kiss on the lips as Frostbite chuckled as he watched this.
Once she was done, Danny was confused.
"Kory, what's going on here?...'Danny asked, confused by her sudden behavior.
"It is a long story...'Starfire said after calming down.
Once she was calm enough, she began to tell him about everyone that happened. How he got amnesia during their fight with Johnny Rancid, how he couldn't remember her and how Frostbite said that a cure had been made for him but during the time they waited, Starfire made a second first meeting for them, more or less doing over their entire first date.
Once she was done, Danny was stunned.
"Okay, let me get this straight...I lost my memory during the fight and couldn't remember our relationship...Frostbite found out and went to get a cure and during that time, you basically introduced yourself to me again and we went on a date and I just got my memories back just now...'Danny said in an incredulous voice.
"I am sorry if you are upset Darling...I was told that your memories would come back soon and...a part of me wanted to know...what would have happened on the night we met if I had not been the crazy...I am sorry if you are upset with me...'Starfire said, wondering if she crossed a line or something.
To her surprise, Danny shook his head.
"No, Starbolts...I'm not upset...You didn't do anything bad, you just wanted to see if we would have like each other if we were normal...I guess I am just upset that I can't remember any of it...'Danny said, feeling some frustration.
He knew that he liked Starfire and was attracted to her since the night they met and he often wondered how he would have reacted if she had been in control of her emotions when they met.
It seems tonight they both got a little view of what What-If?...but he can't remember it?...
"No fair...'Danny thought.
"That reminds me..a little present from an old friend of ours...it will answer that question for you...'Frostbite said as he handed something to Danny, it looked to be a tape with a CW on it.
Danny's eyes widened and then look at Frostbite in almost accusation.
"Wait...did you and the time know-it-all actually watch our date?...'Danny asked and Frostbite shrugged.
"You were in a vulnerable state, Great One and we had to keep an eye on you until your memories were restored...'Frostbite said..."Besides, there isn't that much entertainment in the Ghost Zone..."He muttered quickly.
"Whom are you talking about?...'Starfire asked in a clueless tone of voice.
"I'll tell you later...Now Frostbite-
Before Danny could say anything else, he realized how late it is and that he still has a little something called a curfew to follow.
"Oh man...It's so late...I got to get home before mom and dad kill me...'Danny said as he pulled out the jewel he stole from Starfire's crazy older sister.
"See ya, Starbolts..."Danny said as he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Good bye Danny...can we still go on our next date in your world?...'Starfire asked and Danny nodded.
'Sure, but let me try and make sure I'm not ground on that day first...To my room!...'Danny said, before he transported himself back to his own world.
In Danny's world
Danny was now back in his room and saw that it was already 10:15pm. He cringed, seeing that it was well passed his curfew.
"Oh man...mom and dad..."Danny said as he went to the hall and saw his parents waiting by the door.
'Where is that boy?...'Jack asked.
"Hey dad...'Danny said as his parents looked up to see him upstairs, surprised.
"Danny?! Where did you come from?...'Maddie exclaimed in shock.
Danny discreetly hid the jewel in his pocket and decided to see if he could work this in his favor.
"My room..."Danny said as his parents looked at the door and then him.
"We thought you were still out, when did you get back?...'Jack asked.
"About 20 minutes ago, dad...didn't you hear me come in?...'Danny lied, as his parents looked surprise.
"Danny, did you really come home twenty minutes ago?...'Jack demanded.
"Yeah, dad...didn't you see me? I mean it's not like I suddenly teleported to my room or something..."He joked, being ironic for the fun of it.
His parents heard that and realized that there really couldn't be any other way that Danny could have gotten to the house and to the second floor without using the door and stairs...as far as they knew.
'Danny...you had a worried...we thought you were still out...'Maddie said in a scolding manner.
'Sorry mom...'Danny said as his parents sighed.
"Alright...I guess you aren't late for curfew, but next time, let us know that you came home instead of going straight to your room..."Jack said.
"Understood, dad...'Danny said, trying hard not to smile right now.
He just managed to avoid getting grounded for breaking curfew.
What luck!
Back In Danny's Room
Danny was in his room, lying on his bed as he looked at the thing Frostbite gave him that was from Clockwork.
It was a tape, that if you touch it, it projects a small time window that only shows one period of time. It's kind of like the time master's version of a home movie on a screen, which shows his entire "Do Over" Date with Starfire.
Danny saw their second meeting in the alley, him agreeing to go out with her. The two of them getting pizza and flirting with each other, going to watch that movie together, the two of them teaming up to stop those bank robbers, their time together at the park, him escorting her home and expressing that he liked her enough to want to go on another date, all ending with the "Goodnight Kiss", one he consented to on his own free will.
Once it was all over, Danny smiled as he placed the tape away in a safe hiding spot and sighed happily. While he didn't personally remember experiencing that date, he was happy that it had happened because it shows that he still would have liked Starfire and still would have sincerely fallen for her and that it wasn't circumstantial...though he was a little embarrassed by seeing just how goofy he got after she kissed him and maybe a little bummed that he didn't get to remember experiencing that personally but the kiss Starfire gave him after he got his memory back sort of makes up for it.
And at least, they got another date set up soon.
"Oh Kory, I think I could have met you again 1,000 times over and I still would have liked you...'Danny said as she thought about his beautiful, inter-dimensional girlfriend and wondered how she is doing right now.
Meanwhile
In The Titan's Universe
Starfire was home, her fellow Titans had arrived home and Starfire took Raven aside to have some "Girl Talk", telling her everything that has happened.
"Are you serious? You two really just did another, better meeting with him?...'Raven asked as Silkie crawled over to his K'norfka, who happily picked him up.
"Yes, I know that perhaps it was the silly, but I am happy to see that he would have liked me sooner if I had been the normal..."Starfire said as she hugged her pet and thought about her boyfriend.
"He was more upset that he could not remember the events but Mr. The Frostbite said that he has something to make up for it...'Starfire said and Raven raised an eyebrow at that.
"Ooookay?..."Raven said while her friend and teammate kept smiling happy.
"So...how was the date, anyway?..."Raven asked, being curious and Starfire's smile widened even more.
"It was perfect...'She said as she sighed happily.
After a little more talking, Starfire soon went to her room, put Silkie in his pet bed and soon laid on her bed, getting ready to sleep since tomorrow will be a new day.
However, her mind went back to her Do Over Date with Danny and how he obviously became fond of her and despite some initial shyness and his "weak knees", he still came to like her enough to ask her on a second date and allow her to kiss him.
"Oh Danny...'Starfire let out in a happy, content sigh.
Starfire soon went to sleep, thinking about her boyfriend and how soon she wishes to see him for their next date.
In the Ghost Zone, a certain time master saw the two smitten teens and let out a chuckle, his viewing party was over and his guests have long since left. He saw the two smitten super teens and smiled once again.
"Aw, isn't love grand?...'Clockwork said to himself, before closing those time windows and going back to his job.
