^That title is possibly the saddest one I've ever written.

Another one with the OCs. Willow/Wildfire and Rachel/Beast Girl don't belong to me. Dragonfire and Finch belong to me. Takes place at the beginning of the first episode of season two.

IMPULSE WARNING: If you are reading my book "Fire & Lightning" this one contains serious spoilers!

Dragonfire's POV

I looked at the piece of paper in Finch's hand, then up at Finch and her Robin.

"Reasons Why Superboy and Miss Martian Should Get Back Together?" I asked my little brother and sister with a grin.

"It was Gar and Rach's idea!" Finch exclaimed eagerly, "Will you help us?" She asked with those big blue puppy eyes that no one can resist. By the look on Robin's face, his baby sister had done the same trick on him.

Why not? My own love life wasn't working out at the moment, and I had nothing better to do.

"Of course!" I said.

"YES!" Finch cheered.

"But you need to make one change," I said, taking her big red sharpie and crossing out "Superboy and Miss Martian" and writing "SUPERMARTIAN" above it in big capital letters.

"Perfect!" Finch marked her approval.

"Number one," Robin sighed, ready to get this over with, "La'gaan is a jerk," He brought out a birdarang and began to play around with it.

"He's also conceited, rude, and doesn't listen to orders." I added for good measure. I should know. With Aqualad gone, Nightwing and I had taken co-command of the team. I looked  over to where my brother was sparring with Lagoon Boy in the middle of the training room

Finch sat down and write what we said as carefully as she could, the tip of her tongue sticking out between her teeth.

"Number two," she wrote a number two beneath our first reason, "M'gann won't let Connor put himself down."

I nodded approvingly.

"Recognize: Superboy, B04. Miss Martian, B05. Bumblebee, B16. Beast Girl, B18. Beast Boy, B19. Blue Beetle, B23." the computer announced.

"Is that the list?" Garfield asked as he and Rachel ran over.

"Already got two reasons!" Finch told him proudly.

"Whoo-hoo!" He cried triumphantly. Beast Boy: Captain of the SuperMartian ship.

"What's going on?" asked my friend, Willow.

"Um...nothing," I said hurriedly, hiding the list behind my back.

"Welcome home Angelfish."

"Thank you La'gaan!" we all looked over and groaned as M'gann and La'gaan proceeded to have another public make-out session.

Superboy stormed past, rage and anger in his eyes.

"And that's another reason why they need to get back together," Beast Girl grumbled sourly.

"Ugh! I am so through with this!" Willow yelled. A flame formed around her fist as she pounded the cave wall. No one enjoyed the public displays of affection between M'gann and La'gaan.

Willow had a crush on Superboy since she met him. It was only her friendship with M'gann that kept her from stealing him away from her. But now that they were broken up...

"Tell him," I whispered in her ear.

"You saw the look in his eyes, he's still into her," she said slowly.

"He just needs someone to show him that he's still worth something. M'gann isn't the only one who can do that," I gave her a smirk.

She looked over at Connor, who in turn stared at the ground.

"Hey Connor?" She asked, jogging over to him. The four kids still brainstormed their list behind me while I watched, tense, to see how this would play out.

"Yeah, what is it Willow?" his voice was less angry than it usually was after he'd watched a makeout session between Lagoon Boy and Miss M.

"I, um...have something I want to tell you..." She said nervously.

I locked eyes with Nightwing and Mal across the room and nodded. Nightwing grinned his approval and Mal gave a thumbs up at Willow behind Connor's back.

The added attention seemed to make Willow even more nervous. She quickly stood on her tiptoes and whispered something in Connor's ear before kissing his cheek.

Connor looked at her in surprise as Willow backed up, her face turning as red-hot as a flame. The look on Jaime's face mirrored Connor's almost exactly and La'gaan noticed something was up.

"Just sayin' guys, but I ship it," Karen said with a smirk. Robin, Finch, Rachel, and Gar all looked up to see what was going on.

Willow was mortified, at least until Connor gently took her arm and pulled her back towards him, where he kissed her on the lips.

"WHAT THE-?" Finch's scream was enough to finally get M'gann and La'gaan's full attention.

Willow exhaled breathlessly, "Are you-?"

"Ever since I'd found you," Connor smiled.

"Yes!" I hissed, pumping my fist in victory as Connor and Willow walked out together, smiling, talking, and holding hands.

"What...just...happened?" La'gaan asked slowly. M'gann looked kind of sad as she watched her ex-boyfriend walk away. Well she can't have second thoughts now, not with her making out in front of him every day.

"Oh my gosh! I can't take another couple!" Jaime yelled, throwing his hands up in the air in defeat while I fist-bumped with Mal and Nightwing.

Robin, Garfield, and Rachel stared after Willow and Connor, mouths slightly open.

Finch looked down at the SuperMartian paper with its four reasons written in bright red letters, then she crumpled it up into a big ball and threw it over her shoulder, where it bounced off the wall and landed on the floor in front of her.

"The ship is dead." the eleven-year-old declared with finality.
