A/N:
Before I start this chapter, there's a quick note I forgot to mention earlier. In this story, (and most of my other ones) Beast Boy will not be against dairy products. "Why'' you ask? Because Beast Boy said the reason he's a vegetarian is because he's been most of those animals, and dairy comes from milk, which comes from female animals. I don't know for sure, but I don't think he turns into females that often, or if he even can turn to females at all for that matter.
He's still not eating meat.
Disclaimer: You know the drill, I own nothing and stuff.
''Well I can't do it, I'm busy upgrading the towers defense systems, and I have to keep them offline until the new upgrades are installed. If I do it, the tower will be practically unprotected'' Was Cyborg's reason.
''I can't do it, we've just found a new lead on Slade and if I do it, we'll lose it'' Was Robin's reason.
''I won't do it'' Was Raven's reason.
''I would love to do it!'' Was Starfire's opinion. ''No offense Star, but I don't think you're the right person for this'' Was Starfire's reason.
So, that left two people. And neither of them could do it alone. When it came to meeting lots of new people, Terra was about as confident as control freak without his remote. Beast Boy had no problem with it, but he'd probably destroy something if he went alone, or spread some ''bad habits''.
Despite this, both of them found themselves on a plane to, where was it again? Oh that's right: ''Bayville''. Funded by the Teen Titans bank account, which received a monthly payment of 0.0001% of the city's standard taxes (a considerable amount, having thousands of citizens), Terra was riding first class for the first time ever. Beast Boy wasn't that lucky.
Back Of the Plane, luggage storage.
''Stupid Robin. ''The Professor said you can't let anyone see your skin or powers while you're there'' my butt!'' He thought while sitting in his bird cage in the shape of a parrot.
Front of the Plane, First Class.
''Would you like some more waffles madame?'' The polite waiter asked politely. (xD)
''Keep 'em coming!'' the hungry blonde retorted with a mouth full of waffles.
The flight personnel were all surprised to see how much the thin girl could actually shove down. She was already on her fourth serving, and was making no signs to being done soon. Of course, being the most paying customer on the entire plane, she got the best of treatments and no questions asked. Okay, Beast Boy had sort of gone overboard when he ordered her seat, and she was pretty sure Robin would have a fit when he found out how the changeling used the team's income, but she'd be far away when that happened so she figured she'd be in the clear.
''Come on Terra, do you have to torture me like this?'' the drooling changeling said over the T-com that she'd placed precisely too far away from his cage to reach. She wouldn't want him hanging up on her right? Besides, teasing was fun.
''I said I'll get you some crackers when we get off so stop complaining!'' She said with a smile and another mouthful off waffles, knowing he could see her clearly through the yellow device in front of her.
''No fair I bought you first class!'' Okay, she felt a little guilty.
''Okay okay! I'll sneak some waffles out with me later. Happy?''
''Do you want an honest answer?''
''Do you want the waffles or not?'' she grinned.
''Yes please…''
Later
''We hope you've all enjoyed a nice flight''
Hearing the voice on the speakers, the passengers of the plane started getting up. Well, everyone but Terra, who was already eagerly waiting at the door. Once the door opened, she was the first person off the plane, and the first passenger at the luggage retrieval. Coincidentally, her luggage was the first to appear as well.
''Wow, first class rocks!''
Her ''luggage'' drew closer, and he was not happy. It didn't get any better when his girlfriend giggled at his luck.
''It's not funny, get me out of this thing!''
''Okay Okay, geez! It sounds like you've been crammed up in a cage for hours or something''
''I have! And you put me here!''
''Oh yeah, sorry?'' she giggled, and he immediately forgot he was angry.
Deciding he had suffered enough, she opened the cage and let him land on her shoulder before grabbing her actual luggage and walking towards the exit.
Walking outside, she looked around for the van she was told to look for. A black van. Yeah, like that was uncommon… She eventually found it though. Not because of the description, but rather the large sign saying ''Xavier'' that an older teen with red glasses was holding up.
''I'm assuming you're Terra?'' The older boy asked when she got close enough for him to see she was heading for them.
''Yup, and you are?''
''I'm Scott Summers, and the threatening guy in the van is Logan'' Beast Boy shrugged at the name. Terra had to look twice before noticing the other guy in the car. He was pretty good at not being noticed considering his appearance. ''I thought you'd be two? Where's the other guy? Garfield was it?'' The curious teen looked around.
''Oh he's around'' She couldn't help but giggle.
''Should we wait for him?''
''No he'll get his own ride'' Now she had to actively fight the urge to laugh outright.
''Okay, then hop in the car and we'll get you to the mansion so you'll get introduced to the students''
Said and done, he helped her get her luggage into the trunk before both got a seat and taking off. Logan driving, of course. She had a feeling he was looking at her the entire ride.
''So what's life like in Jump City?'' the redhead asked after a few silent minutes.
''It's pretty relaxed. You know, eating, playing video games, stopping the bad guys every day, the normal stuff'' She bragged.
''Stopping bad guys every day?''
''Yup. Don't you?''
''Well, we've stopped a couple of bad guys, but hardly every day. There are some trouble makers, but I wouldn't go as far as to call them bad guys'' The older teen explained.
''Cool!''
''By the way, is that thing tame?'' Scott asked, referring to the ''parrot'' sitting on her right shoulder.
''Yup. Tamed him myself'' She said with a large smile plastered on her face.
Beast Boy could barely wait until they were there so he could transform again. They may be in a car, but a green kid changing from a parrot would still draw attention. So would the sight of a green parrot talking to a guy.
A couple of minutes later, they finally arrived at the fanciest mansion the blonde and the shape shifter had ever seen. Driving through the gates, they were greeted by a gathering of several young teens and not quite as many adults. The blonde lost her footing at seeing the large amount of people, and her face went considerably paler.
Stopping in front of the gathering, the man known as Logan turned off the car and went out, shortly followed by Scott.
''Beast Boy help me out here! You know I can't stand a lot of people, change back!'' She whispered quickly when the doors closed.
''Not a chance. Think of it as payback for before. Besides, I wanna see how far I can go with this!'' He whispered back, a little too happy for her to feel comfortable.
''You're so gonna get it later!'' She barely had time to finish whispering before Scott politely opened her door for her, indirectly forcing her to leave the safety of the car.
Everyone was looking at her. Everyone.
''Uh… Hi…'' She said awkwardly, waving her hand in hopes for someone to start saying something.
''Welcome to Xavier's School for gifted Youngsters. My name is Ororo, but you can call me Storm like everyone else'' A tall African woman spoke up, offering her hand to the nervous blond. She shook the offered hand and replied:
''I'm Terra''
''We were told to expect two people. May I ask where you're friend-''
''What's with the weird parrot?'' A brown haired guy asked/interrupted from the front of the crowd. Terra giggled at hearing Beast Boy growl silently on her shoulder, the sound sounding pretty silly coming from a green parrot.
''Bobby, Don't be rude to our guest'' The white haired woman scolded the boy – apparently named Bobby – that had spoken.
''That's no parrot'' Logan spoke up from the edge of the gathering. The first time he'd spoken since she first saw him. ''You should change back kid''
To everyone's surprise, the green parrot simply jumped off the blonde's shoulder and landed on the ground, before turning into a green teenage boy, the same height as the blonde beside him.
''How'd you figure it out?'' The teen spoke up; disappointed he'd been found out so quickly.
''You ain't smelling like a parrot. You smell like every animal I can think off''
''Told you to take a bath'' The blonde geomancer joked.
''Hey! I bath!''
''Once every month…''
''I bath every day! It's not my fault stuff gets stuck in my fur…''
''Relax BB, I'm just kidding!''
''BB? I thought your name was Garfield?'' Scott interrupted, having just recovered from his embarrassment, drawing laughter from many of the New Recruits.
''People call me Beast Boy, I hate my name''
''Beast Boy? No offense, but that's a silly name'' Bobby commented.
''It's better than Garfield Mark Logan'' Now that brought laughter from everyone present, though to different degrees. The adults were just chuckling, the older teens were laughing, and the younger ones were rolling on the ground.
''It's not that funny!'' The green teen defended himself.
''Oh yes it is!'' a young brown haired kid shouted between laughter. Judging from his appearance, he was the youngest of the people gathered.
''Can we call you Logan Junior?'' An Asian looking girl in a yellow jacket continued, doubling the laughter erupting from the teens.
''I think that line just got you a permanent invitation to visit whenever you want'' Scott commented.
''This place is weird…'' Beast Boy said in confusion.
''Yeah…'' Terra agreed.
Oddly enough, the guy that had driven the car seemed to have disappeared.
Meanwhile, in the back of the crowd.
''I don't get it. Does this mean he's related to Logan too?'' A confused Laura (X23) asked.
''No. They just like, happen to have the same name'' Kitty answered.
''But you told me that related people share the same name?'' The dark haired teen said in confusion.
''Yeah they do, but people don't have to be like, related just because they have the same name''
''Oh''
Back In the Front
''Hey, did bring any waffles?'' Beast Boy asked turned to his blond friend, just now remembering their earlier conversations on the plane.
''What do you think?'' She said with a smirk, holding three waffles in front of her like playing cards.
''Alright, sweet!''
''Catch!'' Terra said and threw the waffles straight up in the air, only for them to get caught – and eaten – by a green dog in midair.
Meanwhile, the gathered mutants had watched the display. Most of them were still laughing, but those who had managed to calm down were curiously studying the new arrivals. Where had she kept those waffles in those clothes? She only had a pair of yellow shorts and a black shirt with a yellow T on it. Not to mention she was extremely thin.
''That's like so cute!'' Yet another brown haired person squealed. This one a girl with blue eyes. What was with this place and people with brown hair? It's like they gather brown haired people.
Terra had never been the best at reading people, but she could see that many of the girls agreed with the first one, even if they didn't say anything. They just had that ''aw that's so cute!'' expression. Most of the girls seemed to be her own age too. She unconsciously stepped a bit closer to her guy.
''Are you two together?'' A blonde haired girl with a red shirt and tight fitting jeans asked. Something in her voice gave the impression she was pretty wild. (A/N: If you can't guess who this is then you seriously need to watch the show again)
The blunt question had an… interesting… effect on the two, and several of the girls' ears perked up at the prospect of a very interesting subject for discussion later on.
Beast Boy was fidgeting and laughing nervously, and Terra was looking away while scratching the back of her head. Both were slightly blushing.
''Heh heh… We're kind a… sorta… engaged…'' Beast Boy laughed nervously, creating a wave of shocked and surprised expressions to hit the gathered X-men.

Timeline in this story:
Terra turned to stone when she was 12. She was stone for 2 years, then she got turned back again. (How is not important). This is 2 years after that, so their relationship has been growing for two years.
