Starfires' POV:

*Yes this is the next day.

Starfire opened her eyes, seeing a glimpse of light for the first time in at least two months. Her vision cleared very quickly, and she could see a worried looking group of teenagers. She quickly placed names to them. There was Raven, who looked exhausted, standing next to a still-green Beast Boy. There was also Cyborg, with a concerned look on his face. Then there was Robin. He was kneeling beside her and looked as if he hadn't slept in months. 

"Robin?..." Starefire asked in a scratchy voice.

Starfire!?" Robin asked as he rasied his head from his arms, nervously glancing into her eyes. "You...awake?"

"Yes." Starfire muttered, barely audible; she almost forgot how to speak.

Robin's eyes fluttered with relief and he looked more awake. "Oh, thank God you're alright..I was..I was so worried."

"I don't understand why you were worried, Robin..." 

"I was-am-worried because you were knocked out. You know, in a coma."

"Really?!" Starfire's head was pounding, but she ignored the ache. "That's strange...I just remember... Strange dreams.." she shook her head. "I don't know if you're right, Robin."

"Of course I'm right. But it doesn't matter now, because you're alright!" Robin reached his hand over and grabbed onto her hand. She flinched, and he pulled back, confused. She smiled at him and he held her hand again, leaning forward to kiss her.

"Robin?!"

He looked at her, puzzled. The rest of the Titans stood by awkwardly, Raven glancing around and whistling nervously.

"Weren't there...drinks in the kitchen?" Beast Boy glanced at Cyborg and Cyborg nodded.

"Yeah, you're right.." they both walked away, glad to escape the awkward situation. Raven followed them, still whistling.

"Don't you remember?" Robin asked Starfire, his brain filled with confusion. What was wrong with her? He thought. Did Starfire not remember something?

"Ummm, Starfire..." Robin gullped hoping that what he was thinking wasn't true. "Do you not remember us?"

"Remember us?" Starfire asked, glancing down at their touching hands. Robin pulled his away and bit his lip.

"Nevermind." he whispered, looking away. 

"Are you sure?" Starfire asked him, concern flooding her voice.

"Yeah." he forced a smile. "It was nothing, anyway. I'm just glad you're.... okay."
