I love it!" Robin blushed, enjoying the fact that Starfire loved his gift. To her delight, the puppy poked his head out. Starfire took the box and slowly slid the lid off. It's your birthday present," he answered. "Robin, may I ask what is in that box?" she asked, pointing towards it. She noticed he was carrying a box in his arms, and could hear faint yaps and barks coming from the box. She was about to throw her arms happily around him, but restrained herself. "Hello Robin, I went looking for you today, but was not able to locate you," exclaimed Starfire, upon reaching him. Robin looked up and to his surprise Starfire was flying at him. Then tomorrow he could bring Starfire and the puppy somewhere, when they went to the mall to celebrate. He would be giving her the present a night early, but decided it was for the best. The puppy was now stored in a little box with holes in it, which Robin would hand to Starfire at dinner. He dressed up the little golden retriever puppy with a pretty emerald ribbon and made sure it's fur was perfect. While he wouldn't say that Silkie wasn't a good pet, a worm wasn't exactly going to win the most popular pet of the year award. 'Look at how she melts over Silkie,' he thought laughing. He knew Starfire would melt at the sight of the puppy. Now all he would have to do was stop at the local pet store.Ī couple of hours later, Robin returned cradling a small, fluffy puppy in his arms. He now knew the perfect gift he could get Starfire. Starfire lay sprawled on the couch, playing with Silkie. 'I wish I was Silkie,' thought Robin, before he scolded himself for being a pervert and being jealous of a worm. She continued talking, oblivious that Robin was watching her by the doorway.
"Good Silkie," giggled Starfire, petting her beloved pet.
Slapping himself on the forehead, he headed for the common room. Robin was madly in love with the resident alien. He also knew Batman had warned it was never a good idea to fall in love with a team mate, but it was too late for that. As corny as it sounded, Robin didn't want to "womanize" Starfire. Sure, he loved Batman dearly as a father, but Wayne was well known for being a womanizer. At first he considered a necklace or some other item of jewelry, but that reminded him of Batman. He needed the perfect present, something that could very subtly hint his true feelings for her. Tomorrow was Starfire's birthday, and he still didn't have a clue to what he would give her. "Ugh," he groaned, checking his calendar, as he shuffled his feet getting ready. He was almost always the second or first one up, but that did not mean he enjoyed doing it. The shrill beeping of his alarm dragged Robin out of bed.
