Be With You

Chapter 2

The next morning, Robin woke to Silkie licking his face.

"Oh no!"

Starfire rushed into Robin's room and pulled at Silkie. Robin pushed. This continued for a while, until Silkie eventually gave in.

Starfire sighed. "Sorry, Robin. The Silkie was just saying 'good morning' to you."

Robin laughed. "It's OK. I'll let it slide. So, while we're still on the topic, good morning."

"Good morning," Starfire replied. "Cyborg is planning the party today. Isn't it exciting?!"

"It is, Starfire," Robin said, staring into Starfire's eyes, "It really is..."

"BREAKFAST!" a voice called from the kitchen.

"Let's go," Robin said.

That day, breakfast was bacon and eggs. Raven, Robin and Starfire were at the table, waiting for BB and Cyborg to finish making breakfast.

Beast Boy was putting some tofu on a plate and pouring a fruit smoothie into a glass, since he is a vegetarian and didn't feel like having eggs either. Cyborg was arranging everyone else's bacon and eggs into shapes they'd asked for.

Raven was reading one of her books at the table. Starfire had dressed Silkie up in a sailor costume and was taking pictures. Robin stared at Starfire, so happy they were going to the party together.

Cyborg came to the table, holding two plates in his hands, and a third one on his head. He placed the plates on his hands in front of Starfire and Robin and took the third off his head. Cyborg handed the third plate to Raven.

"I'm gonna go to my room," Raven said, so quickly, it sounded like a sneeze. She took her bacon and eggs in a skull shape and left immediately.

"But, Mama!" BB cried. He slammed his tofu plate on the table and slouched in his seat, next to Raven's old one.

Cyborg, Robin and Starfire dug into their bacon and eggs: Star's in the shape of a star; Cyborg's, a robot; Robin's, a plain circle.

"Uh...Cyborg!" Robin called to Cyborg.

"Yeah?"

"I asked for my breakfast in a star," Robin complained.

"Then our breakfasts would be exactly alike!" Starfire pointed out, cheerfully.

"They sure would, Star," Robin replied, "They sure would."

Robin's P.O.V

When breakfast was over and everyone else was gone, I took out my notebook, and began writing.

I couldn't let anyone know what I was writing; if even one person knew, I would never hear the end of it.

I heard Beast Boy coming.

I panicked and hid the book.

Even though I couldn't let BB see the notebook, one special person could see when the time was right. They would know what was in that book. Soon.
