In Jump City in a small apartment Raven and Beast Boy, who now go by Rachel and Garfield, were sitting on their ivory leather couch. Rachel had her head on Garfield's shoulder sleeping soundly.

Garfield sat on the couch, holding Rachel in his arms watching reruns SpongeBob Squarepants. Both Rachel and Garfield have changed their appearances to blend in better with the crowd.

Rachel had changed her hair from a deep purple to an onyx black that reached her shoulders.

Her once purple eyes are now a dark, shining blue, and her skin, which was gray, is now just very pale, almost white. The gem on her forehead was no longer there. When Rachel was Raven she was already pretty filled out, she hadn't changed much over the two years the Teen Titans had split. She just got an inch or two taller.

Garfield looked like he did before his incident, which turned him into the Changeling he was still to that day. He had blonde hair, which was no longer spiked like it was before. It was more brushed forward and slightly to the side. He had bright blue eyes that had a twinkle of mischief in them. He was a little more muscular than he was before, which left him being lean, but not really muscular as in buff. He grew slightly taller than Rachel, about an inch.

They didn't usually wear their uniforms. They could still use their powers. Though it was a bit more difficult for Garfield. But Rachel found a spell that let him change into animals, they were still green, and when he turns back to human form he still has his blonde hair, blue eyes, and no green skin.

In fact he's kind of tan. Definitely darker than Rachel.

Rachel's the one that cast the spell to make everyone normal. Everyone. Most of the Titans are now living their lives as they wish. Titans East are still active, they decided to keep working. Raven kept in touch with Starfire, who updated her with the rest of their team's lives. Starfire, who now goes by Kory (short for Koriand'r) Ander, is now at home with her boyfriend (Guess who that is) and she is two months pregnant. Robin, who is still in the hero business and now goes by Nightwing. They are together, but Nightwing is out a lot. He doesn't know about the baby and Kory doesn't know how to tell him.

He hasn't really asked why she gets up in the middle of the night and throws up, he just figures that she's sick and tries to keep her home where she less likely to be kidnapped, because of his line of work, or get ten times worse, because he's paranoid.

Victor and Karen Stone, who were now happily married had their own house. But since Karen, who was and still is Bumblebee, is still with her team, Victor, who was once Cyborg, set up a whole system in their basement to track down the bad guys. Karen doesn't live with Titans East, but is there when they need her, and the same goes for Victor (The second part).

The honorary Titans are still doing what they were before.

The crime rate has gone down a little bit, but there are new criminals who are starting out small and it seems that they're trying go bigger each time. Nightwing deals with the new mystery criminals while Titans East deals with the old ones.

Now to Rachel and Garfield. Both of them slowly fell in love during their times as the Teen Titans. She loved him with all her heart, and he loved her with all his. It took her a while to acknowledge her feelings. When she did she was scared. She was scared her heart would be broken again. Ever since Malchior she had been suppressing Love and Happy.

Garfield reached into his pocket and pulled out his green wallet. He opened it and pulled out his favorite picture of him and his beautiful wife Rachel on their honeymoon. They got married while still being a part of the Titans, so they looked as they did when their differences showed. Green and gray.

He smiled loving how she used to look. Rachel was amazing to him. He would give anything to make her happy. He loved everything about her. How she kept to herself and opened up to him. How he would get to witness one of her rare beautiful smiles. Her hair was longer then. She had let it grow out over the years and had recently cut it shorter. He really loved the feeling of her in his arms. He didn't remember a time when she wasn't.

He proposed to her during a fight with Control Freak. She was speechless and confused as to why he would propose to her while they were in a fight. She quickly said yes and drag him forward and away from a giant electric hand that flew toward him. Control Freak had managed to get his hands on electricity and turned it into a monster.

"You're crazy!" she yelled at him, with a dark glare on her face, but he could see the happy twinkle in her eyes.

"Only for you, Mama." He said smiling happily at her, the woman he loved.

They both experienced heart ache which is one of the reasons it took so long for them to get together, but they got it together.

He stopped reminiscing and looked down at Rachel. She was waking up, she shifted and slowly opened one eye. "Why are you smiling?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowed. "Because my wife looks beautiful when she sleeps." He said smiling wider. "I feel bad for her." She said in her same sarcastic sounding monotonous way, but her face held a loving grin.

"And why is that Rae-Rae?" she glared playfully at him.

"Because," she started. She leaned up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "She has to keep all the ladies off. And they just keep coming."

"Well I have to keep all the men off of you!" he said hysterically.

"Yeah, right." She said rolling her eyes. 'Like anyone would actually want me', she thought, 'I just got lucky with Gar.'

"You don't think anyone would want you?" he said eyebrows furrowed, almost reading her mind.

"Su-ure. Every man would come jumping at me." She said sarcastically looking up into his twinkling icy blue eyes.

"I certainly would." He said. He looked serious, and that's not something she sees often. "Any man would be lucky to have you." He smiled a little. "I'm lucky to have you Rae. I love you."

Rachel's eyes glazed over.

She's only seen him be this loving and open on their wedding day and honeymoon. "I love you too Gar." He brought her hand up and kissed the shining ruby that reminded him of their wedding day on her ring finger.

"How come you're being so," she stopped trying to find the right word for how he was acting. "Affectionate."

He looked guilty and shook his head. "What's up with you?" she asked.

"I knew you'd see right through me. Rae," he looked into her eyes and sighed. "I have to go on a business trip."

"O-k." she said hoping that it wasn't going to get worse, but knowing from his tone that there was a catch. "I'm going to Africa." "Well that's good, right? You get to see home again."

"It would be," he looked away. "If you could go with me."

She then understood. He was trying to butter her up. And then throw the bad news at her. She put up an emotionless mask to hide the hurt. He saw this and tried to bring her closer. She backed away out of his arms. She sat on the other side of the couch. Farthest away from him.

"How long will you be gone?" She said looking at him, it was evident she was hurt. And Garfield felt his heart clench.

"Three to Five Years." He said looking into her eyes, or at least trying.

She turned her head away so he wouldn't see a lone tear trail down her cheek and fall onto the carpet. He saw it and reached a hand up to her face. She turned her head away. "When you said that you might be getting a promotion I thought it was going to help us, not drive us apart." she laughed bitterly, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

She stood up abruptly. "WHAT!" her eyes were pouring now. "You chose to tell me this NOW?!" her eyes were wide and starting to glow white.

"I only found out yesterday!" he said standing up too.

The empath felt his anger and tried to calm herself down a bit. Her eyes stopped glowing. If he was leaving tomorrow she didn't want him to leave angry.

"I don't want you to be angry with me before you leave." She said looking really sad.

He looked at her like a she was a wounded puppy. "Rae, I'm not mad at you. I love you. The only reason I have to go so soon and for so long is because I had two choices. Go for two weeks and leave next week and have even less money than before, or take this offer and earn twice than what I was getting before. I want to do what's best for us Rae. Even if that means going against what I want." His sad eyes looked into hers. "Even if it goes against what you want."

Rachel sniffled. "I'm going to go meditate. Please don't bother me."

The emotionless mask came back up and she walked out of their living room and into their room, her shoulders slumped. He could feel his anger build up. 'Why's she being so difficult,' he thought', I'm doing this for us'.

He figured both of them needed time to think so he left her a note saying that he was going out.'

After a while, almost two hours Rachel came out of the room, an apology already at the tip of her tongue, but she saw he was no longer there. She looked around their small apartment and still saw that he wasn't there, so she made her way back to the living room.

On the small, round glass was a note. It said,

Rae, I really want us to work things out but right now I really just need to get some air. I love you Rae, but maybe we should take a short break from each other. I won't be out long, so don't worry.

'A break?' Rachel started to panic. 'Oh my god, what does that mean?'

She changed from her pajamas to a purple sweater and black jeans. She slipped on her dark brown boots and grabbed her fleece from off the coat rack. She was heading for the door when she saw something on the floor. She bent down and picked it up. Looking at it her eyes started to water again.

She kissed Beast Boy's face and placed the picture on the table and left closing the door and locking it and pulling on her black fleece. She needed to make this right.

Garfield walked into the club, his eyes red from crying. He loved her but she could be a pain sometimes when it came to her emotions. This was the second time he came to this bar. The first time was his Bachelor party.

The bartender, who was a bulky bald white man with a thick brown and gray beard, gave him a weird look but gave him what he wanted. Garfield started chugging it down, just wanting to forget about his promotion and Rachel's reaction.

He was done and was about to ask for another one when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Beast Boy?" he heard a soft voice ask unbelievably. He turned around and was about to tell the person to back off when he saw who the person was.

"Terra?"


I am not sure if I will keep this story up. But I'll try. BB/Rae all the way.
