The next day, the titans waited for the arrival of the fellowship. "Do you think they have changed much?" asked Starfire. "No, I don't think they could have changed that much." Answered Raven. "Well, what of you robin, do you think they have changed?" Robin, who was taken by surprise at the mention of his name tried to think of an answer. "Well…I…." "I believe they haven't changed a bit." The titans turned to see Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli standing in the doorway. "Guys! You're here!" exclaimed Cyborg. "Yes we're here Cyborg." Chuckled Aragorn. Gandalf came to the front of the group. "How is my best pupil?" Raven blushed. "Just fine Gandalf." "Well, lets get out of the doorway and get a bit to eat." Suggested Legolas. Everyone agreed. After the fellowship had gotten situated, (by that I mean hanging up all the cloaks, swords, staffs, shields oh you get the idea.) everyone sat down on the circular couch. "So guys," asked Beastboy, "where are the hobbits?" at the mention of the pint-sized adventurers, the fellowship laughed. "Well," explained Aragorn, "After traveling with hobbits for months, you realize that they are the biggest pain in the ass ever!" "Sorry I asked." Mumbled Beastboy. While the others got reacquainted, Gandalf observed Robin. Every time he saw him, he was looking at Starfire. Gandalf walked over to the titan. "Robin, could I speak with you?" "Sure Gandalf." Gandalf then led Robin out of earshot of the others. "What do you need Gandalf?" asked Robin half heartedly. "Well, I've noticed how you look at that Starfire girl. In fact she's all you've been looking at since I arrived." Robin snapped his full attention back to Gandalf. "What? Hey you can't prove anything! Did Beastboy tell you? I'm gonna kick his mphmmm!" Gandalf covered the titan's mouth. "I figured it out just now, Robin, and I believe I can help you." Robin stared at the wizard in disbelief. "How?"

That night, Robin tip toed out of his room and made his way to the roof. Gandalf had told him he would help him with his girl troubles that night on the roof. "How is Gandalf going to help me?" thought Robin. "He doesn't know anything about girls, does he?" Robin got to the roof door and opened it. Gandalf sat on a chair, but wasn't alone. Aragorn and Legolas were there as well. Robin didn't have to ask why Gimli wasn't there. (Come on people, Gimli help with GIRLS???) "Hey guys." Called Robin. "Hello Robin." Gandalf stood up. "Lets begin, shall we?" Aragorn and Gandalf took robin to the far end of the tower. "Okay." Started Aragorn. "I'm going to teach you how to act cool in front of the girls. First, lets see how you do on your own." With that Gandalf conjured an illusion of Starfire. "Go."

Robin's legs seemed to turn into jelly at the sight of the beautiful alien girl. "H-hi S-star." The illusion responded. "Rating: pitiful." Gandalf chuckled. "Okay, you obviously need some work." Stated Aragorn. "First thing I want you to work on is the way you stand. You look like a freaking flamingo!" Robin straightened up and arched his back. "Okay now, go ahead and slouch a little bit." Robin was a little confused, but did what he was told. "Perfect!" complimented Aragorn. "That will give you a little more confidence." Legolas walked over. "Now, I'll teach you how to talk to girls." Once again Robin tried the illusion without help, and once again got a pitiful. "Ooookayyyyy." Started Legolas. "First off, stop stammering." "Don't you think I want to?" mumbled the titan. "Okay, if you can't stop, think of something boring." Now Robin was very confused. "Why?" "Because it takes your mind off of screwing up." Explained Legolas. With the advice he had been given, he was ready to try the illusion. The Starfire illusion was standing in front of him. Robin fixed his posture and tried to think of something boring. "Hey, what's up Star?" the illusion responded. "Rating: Excellent." "By jove I think he's got it!" laughed Gandalf. (I don't know about you guys, but I love that saying!) "Well, your ready Robin." Said Aragorn. "You're ready for the real deal!" Robin was thankful to the three men, but wasn't sure if he could succeed in the real deal…..
