Chapter 1: Terra-An object of depression?

Authors Notes: (BeastBoy does his best to hide his depression, that's why it may seem confusing that he seems moderately happy at the start.)

It was a normal day in the Titan's Tower. All chaos had erupted, mess everywhere; Cyborg slouching around on the couch, drooling in his sleep; Beast Boy mashing the buttons on the Play station 2 control, the same being with Robin. Meanwhile, StarFire had knocked onto the door that led into Raven's room, and swiftly somehow managed to step into the boundaries of the room and shut the door, within a matter of seconds. Raven, on the other hand didn't notice. She was too immersed in meditation. So, with StarFire and her annoying ways, decided to prod Raven.

"Raven, Please stop your meditation so that we can 'hang out'?"

StarFire had asked this in the sense of a rhetorical question: In other words, Raven would have to submit to StarFire and hang out with what she considered the most annoying person on Earth; Or, Be bugged by the most annoying person on the Earth all day.

So, with that, Raven quickly snapped herself out of meditating and looked at StarFire, with an annoyed tone. StarFire had just sweat dropped, and backed away slightly.

"So..Um...we shall 'hang out' another time..then.."

StarFire had quickly said, before dashing out of the room at incredible speeds, shutting the door behind her. She stopped when she tripped over the Playstation 2, breaking it whilst falling onto Cyborg, who had been startled and woken.

All three pairs of eyes stared at Raven. Beast Boy in a angry mode, with steam coming out of his ears, whilst Robin just laughed. Cyborg had just shrugged it off, before lying back down and snoozing off.

"StarFire! I was beating Robin, and you ruined it! Aww man."

"I am very sorry for my mistake, my fellow 'roomie' . I will be cautious not to make the same mistake again.."

Starfire then sighed, whilst BeastBoy frowned, in a sympathetic kind of way. He did not like seeing his friends mad, so he walked over to StarFire and patted her on the back.

"Hey, it's fine; Star...so just leave it."

"But I might have broken your entertainment machine as well.."

Cyborg had then butted in.

"Ah, I can fix it..."

Cyborg waved it off and tried to get back to sleep on the couch.

"Ack! Dude, Look at the time! It's like, 10:30 PM! I need to be up early tomorrow; it's my turn to do the house work! Crap.. I hate doing the housework."

BeastBoy drooped his head and sighed, whilst turning into a Beagle Puppy, and trotted off towards his room.

He pushed open the door to his room, and jumped up onto his bed. His eyes then diverted towards his bedside table, which was covered in rubbish and a random assortment of coke bottles and empty glasses of drink. He turned back into his regular self, and pushed the rubbish aside, and took a frame, which held a picture of him and Terra. In the picture, he had one arm around Terra, with a cheesy grin on his face. Terra had looked happy, with her eyes closed and a reddish-pink blush on her face.

A tear had then rolled off of BeastBoy's cheek and had shattered as the tear had hit the frame of the photo. Several more tears hit the photo, until BeastBoy wrapped his arms around his knees and started to rock up and down. He eventually cried himself to sleep, as usual..

"Terra...Terra!!!!Terra! You are alive!!! Oh my god..."

BeastBoy ran over to Terra and hugged her, but had ended up falling onto the floor, as the figure of Terra had disappeared.

BeastBoy had then turned his head around, to find Terra again. He got up, brushed himself off quickly and had ran over to her, turning into a beagle puppy and leaping up. But as soon as he was about to leap into the arms of Terra, she quickly turned into a stone statue, and BeastBoy slammed his muzzle into Terra's chest, and had fallen backwards, turning back into himself, his nose bleeding rather badly.

"BeastBoy!" Robin shouted.

"Wake up, my friend!" Screamed StarFire.

BeastBoy had then shot up, sweating all over his face and forehead.

"BeastBoy, my roomie; you were only dreaming!"

"D-dreaming..."

BeastBoy had then broken down into tears, which were streaming down his face freely. StarFire had then embraced him, hugging him tight.

"It is ok now, BeastBoy. The nightmare which you currently had has gone now."

But BeastBoy didn't stop crying.

It had been several hours since the rest of the gang had left BeastBoy alone. He had been crying pretty much all of the time.

When he did finally emerge though, he was shaking badly, and was given a Hot Chocolate by Raven.

"Calm down, BeastBoy. Terra is gone now. There is nothing you could have done, or could do."

"Yeah..Raven is right, BeastBoy...It wasn't anybodies fault."

Robin had shook his head.

"I..I wanna..go visit..."

Everyone had a questionable look on their faces.

"I wanna go see Terra!"

A look of shock had emerged StarFire, Robin's and Cyborg's faces. Raven on the other hand, was calm.

"BeastBoy...why don't we just go tomorrow. It's your birthday then, remember?"

Raven had suggested.

Everyone had a blank look on their faces. They did not know what Raven had in store for when they were to go to the Statue of Terra.

"Fine..."

BeastBoy had agreed. He might as well wait until his birthday, to see Terra. It would make Terra happy...

The rest of that day had gone rather quickly. Raven had retreated to her room. All you could hear from her room was various loud noises, and an explosion or two. Yes, It was odd for Raven, but then again, nobody had ever dared (except for StarFire) to enter her room. But even on this occasion, StarFire wasn't going to volunteer to go into Raven's room to see what was wrong.

BeastBoy retreated to his room too. All that would be heard from his room was sobbing, and sometimes, crying. That day had pretty much gone quickly. Robin and Cyborg had decided to do BeastBoy's chores, whilst StarFire had begun setting up all of the "Happy Birthday" stuff around the house, and getting BeastBoy's presents ready.

... BeastBoy had then turned his head around, to find Terra again. He got up, brushed himself off quickly and had ran over to her, turning into a beagle puppy and leaping up. But as soon as he was about to leap into the arms of Terra, she quickly turned into a stone statue, and BeastBoy slammed his muzzle into Terra's chest, and had fallen backwards, turning back into himself, his nose bleeding rather badly.

BeastBoy quickly arose from his sleeping state, sweat dropping from his head.

"Hopefully this dream will end as soon as I see Terra... She'll be happy to see me...very happy.."

He had then begun his routine of rocking up and down. He didn't care that today was his Birthday-He only wanted to see the petrified Terra. He wanted to hug her, never losing sight of her; even if she was made out of stone.

But just then, StarFire had bursted into BeastBoy's room.

"I have been doing research on human culture! Happy 'Birth-dating' to you, BeastBoy!"

StarFire hugged BeastBoy tightly. BeastBoy made no reaction-he didn't hug back, he just stared at the picture of Terra, whilst Whispering: "Don't worry...I'm coming."

StarFire had let go of BeastBoy and had tilted her head.

"Who are you currently talking to, my 'roomie'?"

"Terra....Terra.."

"But Terra is encased in stone.."

"I know."

"But..why would you be talking to her when she cannot hear you?"

"Dude, Shut up, Okay!!"

"But I was...."

Raven had then walked into the room.

"Let's just..leave him alone for the meanwhile, ok?"

StarFire had nodded her head, and had made her way to the couch, her efforts to cheer up BeastBoy being in vain.

As soon as Raven had guided StarFire away, she slipped into BeastBoy's room. She slowly walked over to him. BeastBoy was just staring at the floor, When Raven patted him on the back, and had taken a vial out of the inner lining of her cloak.

"Happy Birthday BeastBoy. Happy Birthday."

BeastBoy was about to swear at Raven with his hearts' content, but she had already left. He then noticed the vial that she had slipped onto his lap. It was diamond shaped, with a small screw top, with purple- poison like liquid in it. BeastBoy had raised a brow, but shrugged it off and put it away in his pocket, figuring he could ask Raven what it was for later.

Later had came. BeastBoy had forgotten about Raven's vial. He did forget things quite often, in his depressed state of mind.

The group were ready. BeastBoy had refused all other presents that day, telling them all that he would open them when he got back from seeing the shrine of Terra.

The boulder leading into Terra's shine was pushed open by Cyborg and Robin, and BeastBoy rushed inside, where he saw the Golden Plaque which said:

"Here lies Terra."

BeastBoy had frowned, And Looked upwards, seeing the stone-like figure of Terra. He stood up high, forcing back the tears as he hugged her, and wouldn't let go.

Half an hour passed.

An hour Passed.

Two hours passed.

"Ah, what the heck."

Raven stated, as she raised her hand, darkness protruding around BeastBoy's pocket. The vial had been lifted out, and was placed into BeastBoy's hand.

"Remember that? Open it, and find out."

BeastBoy did as Raven asked. He opened it, and watched as the purple liquid turned into a smoky- like substance and floated into the air. It sucked into the statue of Terra.

"What the hell..Dude what did you do!?"

"Be quiet and watch, BeastBoy. It took me over a year to prepare this.."

Nothing happened for five minutes. The gang had just watched, until a blinding white light had surrounded Terra's sentinel body. The Rock seemed to ricochet off of Terra's body, and her normal self taking it's place.

"Where is Slade!?"

Terra demanded..
