The girl Beastboy thought of as Terra prepared for bed. She fell into an exceptionally deep sleep the moment her head touched the pillow. Yet something else stirred in the moment after…

Raven awoke to the sound of frantic scuffling down the hall. She rolled out of bed and scowled as she moved through the hallway at the inhumanely hour of the morning. She followed the sounds, as she drew closer they became more familiar. Things being thrown about, muffled obscenities. The voice though, that was the familiar part. She opened the door and several books that had been thrown against the door fell out. Beastboy was moving quickly from shelf to shelf shifting from hummingbird and back to move between cases, grab a few books, read the table of contents, and decidedly chuck the things behind him before repeating the process all over again.

"Since when do you read," Raven voiced maliciously while feeling particularly sarcastic, having been awoken in this manner.

Beastboy dropped the book currently in his hand, turning towards Raven like he'd been snuck up on. "Um- actually I aside from comic books- last week…" Beastboy said in a curiously honest tone.

"Ooo-kay. Glad you've found a new past time that doesn't rot your brain so much- just keep it down," Raven turned to leave-

"No Raven, wait!"

Raven stopped, but didn't turn around, waiting for Beastboy to explain.

"That girl, the one who looks like Terra, I'm sure it's her. I've been trying to find everything I can on amnesia- but… I need your help… Maybe- maybe you could use you magic, help me find out why she forgot."

Raven kept silent, she didn't even sigh or lower her shoulders like she felt like doing. This was important to Beastboy. And Terra had made the right decision in the end. At the very least she could help him prove whether or not it was really her…

"Get some sleep Beastboy, we'll talk in the morning…"

Beastboy let out a deflated sigh; he took her to mean she probably wouldn't help-

"About Terra," she amended as she turned to face him-

To be glomped; Raven let it pass, it was too late an hour for her to care about anything but sleep. After a moment Beastboy let go, and Raven returned to her room. However Beastboy already knew there was no way he was going to get to sleep. He hadn't gotten more than a few hours sleep since this whole Terra issue began.

So instead he snuck out and headed for the shore. It was one little escape where he could look at the bright lights reflecting off the water and allow himself to think his problems were so far off. He picked up a small flat stone and chucked it at the water, skipping the surface. He'd gotten really good since that first time. It'd be nice to really have her back so he could show her…

He turned his head and caught a shadow of movement in his peripheral vision. Turning quicker he tried to follow the motion. All he saw was dirt and stone. This time he heard motion, rocks clattering against each other. He turned again and saw nothing…

He was getting frustrated now. He shifted into a dog and began sniffing around. There weren't any new scents- but something was there anyway. As a dog he could almost smell it, the same way he could almost see it as a human. He shifted into a bat and started peering around with sound- but when he turned around he was looking and a more or less full to scale replica of Terra made of the rocks and dirt around them-

Beastboy shifted back and looked at the blank expression on her face. She seemed to become aware suddenly, as if she had just opened her eyes. She looked directly at Beastboy.

"Beastboy?"

As soon at Beastboy moved again the replica fell apart again-

"Terra!" Beast looked in all directions, hoping she would come back. It was several minutes before he let himself fall onto his rear and acknowledge the sunrise…

AN- sorry for the short chapter, it's just a prologue anyway… but to clarify, I'm equal parts BB/Terra and BB/Rae fan, so if you're gonna comment or review (and I beg of you to do so) don't just say one pairing is better than another- it all comes down to the writing- and besides, the series ended with Beastboy fully resuming his Terra obsession. Next chapter will introduce an OC who will play a more or less villain character, but in a less diabolical way and more in following with the modern comic trends with superheroes as my understanding is (having read very few of the actual comics…)
