Dream POV

Two scientists and their son are traveling along a jungle path. "Mommy, I wanna see the monkeys!", the little boy exclaimed as he struggled to get out of his father's arms. "Garfield, you always want to see the monkeys." huffed his mother. "Oh, come on Marie, let him walk on his own, it's normal for a boy to want to explore." said the father. "Alright, but you will not leave my sight Garfield" said Marie as she put him down. He immediately went to work climbing trees and wearing imself out. Within a couple minutes, the little boy got tired and the three went back to their camp.

During the middle of the night, little Garfield woke up and saw a monkey outside. He ambled out of the house and tried to spot the monkey. He soon found it in a tree, so Garfield climbed the tree so he could try to pet it. Oblivious to the growling the monkey was making towards the boy, Garfield trudged on. Once he got close enough to touch it, the monkey attacked the little boy. The boy screamed and fell out of the tree, waking up his parents immediately. "Marie get him to the lab now!" screamed Mark as he tried to see what color the monkey was.

A few hours passed and Garfield woke up in a lot of pain and he could hear the screams of his parents. "Marie, he has sakutia, if I don't give him this antidote, he will die!" yelled Mark at a crying Marie. "No I will not let my son become some science experiment!" cried Marie. "Think about this logically Marie with the antidote, he has a chance to live but if he don't give it to him soon, it will be too late," Mark explained in a forced calm voice. "Alright, as long as he lives, I'll do anything."

End Dream POV

"I haven't had that dream in a long time," said Beastboy to himself when he could stop himself from shaking. Dreams about his childhood always unnerved Beastboy, and he was afraid the others would find out and want to know why. "I just have to avoid them today," decided Beastboy as he got out of bed. He walked into the kitchen before anyone could see him, got some food, and wrote a note to the others that said that he was going to be in the city all day and to call him if there is an emergency. He quickly morphed into a Hawk and flew out the window.

Raven's POV

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," there was suddenly a knock on my door. I groaned, thinking that it was already time for Beastboy to start telling me jokes. I get up and walked to my door and opened it to see Starfire, suddenly a joke from Beastboy sounded much better, for she knew what was coming. "Friend Raven, would you like to accompany me to the mall of shopping today?" I sighed, knowing I had no excuse not to and I really didn't feel like having pudding of sadness, so I agreed. Maybe I could get Beastboy to notice me, thought Raven as she was getting ready. Yes the empath had already realized she had a certain affection for the changeling that was more than friends. She just hadn't fgured out if it was some school yard crush or if it was something deeper. "Alright Starfire, I'm ready" as soon as Raven had said that she found herself flying outside the tower by an over-enthusiastic Starfire."This is going to be a long day," grumbled Raven under her breath.

Beastboy's POV

Deep breaths and happy thoughts, Beastboy thought as he rocked himself back and forth in the forest outside of Jump City. The dream had affected him more than he initially thought it would. I looked around at the forest I chose to flee to when my freak out over my dream ended. It was as close as a city in California could get to being like the jungles of Africa. Sometimes, I miss Africa, the scents that weren't polluted by the cities, the peacefullness of the land, and mostly about the tribe his parents had lived outside of on their expedition. The tribe leader, King Tawaba welcomed the family with open arms. After I had gotten turned green, he was the only villager that accepted me. After my parents died, he took me in and helped me with my powers and how to defend myself at such a young age. "Alright enough of my past, a nap would help me." My last coherent thought was that hopefuly that these dreams won't repeat themself.

Raven's POV- several hours later

Beastboy is still not back from the city but luckily, there was no emergencies today so we all had a full day break. Though, there were some times I considered causing one for the sole purpose of getting out of the dreaded "mall of shopping." On the bright side, I was able to buy a new book from the store today. I also picked up a gift to give to Beastboy. I only need to find a good time to give it to him without the others knowing.

"Just walk up to him and give the gift to him and then kiss him!" "I don't know why you have to be so shy about it," said brave from inside Raven's head.

"But what if he rejects us and he never wants to see us again?" whimpered timid.

"I'm quite sure we all know that Beastboy has some sort of affection toward us, why else would he always bother us and try to make us feel included?" said knowledge.

"That is a good point, I just hope I haven't been too mean to him so he doesn't stop what he does." said Raven as she called the impromptu meeting in her head to a close.
