It's Never Too Late

The hall of mirrors was desolate; it hadn't changed at all since he'd last been there. The mirrors were still broken with the claw marks still on the once smooth surface.

'Why did you have to ruin everything?!' Beast boy cried.

He punched another shard of mirror still remaining on the wall.

A voice inside his head suddenly said 'Face it, BB, she didn't love you and you know it, she was working for Slade all along, she never wanted to be your friend, she was a spy, sent to destroy you, to trick you into taking her into your home and taking all your secrets. Now she can't even remember you, she's not coming back.'

Beast boy turned into a rhino and smashed down everything left of the glass.

'Why do you even care? She betrayed you and all of the titans. Why do you want her back?'

'Because...I love her.' Beast boy whispered.

'Ha, biggest sob story I've ever heard.'

'WHO ARE YOU?!'

'Now that would be telling.'

Without thinking, Beast boy ran out of the hall of mirrors, changed into a hawk, and flew back to Titan's Tower.

'Beast boy, where have you been?' Starfire asked, looking worried.

*flashback*

Terra and Beast boy came to a dead end in the hall of mirrors, as he felt in his pocket he realised he had left his communicator at the cafe.

'I've lost my communicator, gimme yours.' He said.

'I don't have it.' Terra replied.

'Then we've gotta get back to the tower and-'

'Beast boy, I'm not going back,' she shook her head. 'I can't.'

'What why can't you?'

*end of flashback*

'Nowhere Starfire, leave me alone!' Beast boy cried as he charged out of the room.

On the way there he passed the room that used to be Terra's, not fully-knowing what he was doing; he opened the door and went inside.

*flashback*

Beast boy knocked on the door, ten seconds later Terra answered it.

'Hi.' Beast boy said.

'Hi...' Terra replied, she seemed like she didn't really want to talk at the moment.

Terra just stared at him waiting for him to get to the point of why he was there. The awkwardness was becoming too hard to bare.

'Ok, well nice talking to you.' Terra said nervously and was about to go back into her room when Beast boy thrust a tiny parcel into her face, blocking the doors.

'I kinda...made you something,' Beast boy grinned shyly, holding out his offering.

'You did?' Terra took the parcel and held it excitedly.

'Yeah,' Beast boy grinned, pulling out a glue gun that was stuck to his hand. 'Heh, went a little crazy with the glue gun.' He said as he tried to shake it off.

Terra opened the parcel to reveal a beautiful heart shaped box that doubled as a mirror.

She gasped then said, 'Beast boy! It's-I don't know what to say!'

'You could say yes, because I'm about to ask you out on a date.' He blushed.

'Oh, wow!'

'So...wanna do something tomorrow night?'

Terra closed the lid hurriedly. 'Tomorrow. I-I'm sorry Beast boy I can't.'

'But?'

'I just can't.' She turned round and went into her room, leaving Beast boy mortified and alone.

*end of flashback*

'Aww, see she even turned you down because she knew she was going to betray you, how sweet.'

'Yeah well she came back and we had a great time until Slade showed up!

'Yeah, she ruined everything by going to work for him, can't you see she only went on a date with you out of pity, she NEVER loved you!'

Beast boy blocked out the sound and ran to his room.

Crying into his pillow he looked up to see Terra standing there, smiling.

'Hi Beast boy.' She said.

'Terra?' He tried to reach out and touch her but she disappeared.

'A good thing about being able to read your thoughts, I can manipulate them too.'

'NO, GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!' Beast boy transformed into a large wolf and ripped the room apart.

Suddenly the other titans came crashing through the door.

'BEASTBOY!' Robin shouted. 'What's going on?!'

'Yeah, Man, what's your deal?' Cyborg asked.

'You are behaving like a royal Zabnorf!' Starfire cried.

'What is going on with you? How can we help?' Raven asked.

'YOU CAN'T!' Beast Boy roared and shoved everyone out of the room.

He started to clear up the mess he had made, picking up pieces of glass and other things, when he suddenly had an idea.

He would dress up as a school boy and win Terra back over to the Titans! GENIUS!

'It won't work. She'll recognise you as soon as you walk through the door, do you know anybody else with green skin?'

'I'll use face paint or something, don't get in the way of this, ok?'

He didn't get a reply.

The next day at Murakami School, Tara was waiting to start her day in form room, placing books in the empty part of the desk where no one else sat.

Suddenly the door opened and in came a brown haired boy in the school's uniform!

'Everyone, this is your new classmate, Garfield Logan. He will be staying with us for the rest of the year. Now who would like to help Garfield out in this big change.' Mrs Wood, the head teacher asked.

Not one hand was raised.

'Um... how about you Tara, oh and there's an empty seat next to you as well, perfect! There you go, Garfield, go sit down next to Tara and she'll help you out.' Mrs Wood herded him to the chair, which Garfield hurriedly sat down in.

'Hi, um.. Garfield, is it?' Tara asked.

'Yeah.' Garfield confirmed. 'Garfield Logan.'

'I'm Tara Marcov, and I guess I'll be showing you around school. Mind if I check your time table?'

'Not at all,' he said, taking the time table out of his trouser pocket and handing it to her.

'Well what do you know, looks like our time tables are alike!'

Garfield smiled at Tara.

'Looks like I've already made my first friend.'
