Chapter 2: Things Change
"Oh." Was all the changeling could manage to say. His heart shattered as he thought about her with another man.
"She couldn't wait forever, you were gone 7 years," Raven said
"I know." Beast Boy said, "So who is her fiancé?" he asked.
"His name is Malcolm Parker." Raven said
"We have met him he is nice." Starfire said. Beast Boy gave her a smile. He knew she was trying to make this easy for him but it wasn't. It never would be. He loved Terra and he wanted her but if she was happy then so was he.
"Her child is a girl and her name is Jessminda." Raven said, answering his unasked question.
'Jessminda it unique and pretty' Beast Boy thought.
Jessminda sat in her first grade class waiting for her teacher to give her, her grade. They had given oral reports yester day and the their teacher Mrs. Morgan was giving them their final grades on the project.
Jessminda has blond hair and green eyes. On her left wrist is an odd shaped green birthmark. She was nervous. She hadn't done her project and she made most of it up yesterday.
"You're gonna get an f." A Girl behind Jessminda said. She had bleached blond hair and baby blue eyes.
"Chimera shut it." Jessminda said through clenched teeth.
"Oh did I touch a nerve?" Chimera asked in mock concern.
"Jessminda Markov." The teacher said. Jessminda got up and went to the teacher's desk.
"Jessminda I'm sorry but you got a D." Mrs. Morgan said.
"WHAT!?" Jessminda said.
"A, D." Mrs. Morgan said. She held out the paper Jessminda turned in. "You're going to have to try harder next time," she said.
Jessminda took the paper and went back to her desk. 'Well it's not an F,' she thought.
Beast Boy went to his room and unpacked. His room was exactly like he had left it. It was claen and everything was in place. He walked over to his desk there was a small layer of dust collecting on it. no one had been in here for quite some time. His stomach growled.
"Better go get something to eat." He said to himself. He walked out to the living room and saw the two he least expected to see talking to the titans it was...Blackfire and Red X!?
"What are they doing here?" Beast Boy asked confused.
"It's ok they are friends now." Starfire said.
'Things change.' Beast Boy thought.
Terra was on her way to the tower she had gotten a message from Starfire she said it was important. She wondered what it was. She was missing work for this. It had better be a good reason, or she'd have to murder Starfire later.
She got to the tower and put in the code and the door opened she made her way to the living room. When she opened the door, she saw Beast Boy. He turned around and was dumbstruck.
"Beast Boy" She said shocked.
"Hey." was all he could say.
Jessminda was on way to lunch. Her friend Marie Grayson came up. Marie had black hair and Green eyes. She was taller then Jessminda.
"Hey Jess." Marie said.
"Oh hey Marie." Jessminda said
"Oh girls look it's the freaks," said a voice from behind them. It was Chimera with her two friends Carrie West and Heather Grayson. Carrie had Red hair and pink eyes, and Heather had Black hair and blue eyes like her father.
"Chimera I'm not in the mood so shut it." Jessminda warned.
"What's that matter?" Chimera asked pretending to be concerned.
"Nothing that concerns you." Jessminda said. Jessminda turned and started walking away but Chimera pushed her.
"Hey I wasn't done," Chimera said annoyed.
"Ok you asked for it." Jessminda said and she turned around and attacked Chimera. Heather and Carrie were about to help But Marie stopped them. Marie and Carrie fought. Heather just watched and she soon was pulled in to the fight.
The Titans went out for Pizza with Terra, Blackfire, and Red X. Beast Boy had been unusually quite.
"Beast Boy are you ok you've haven't touched you pizza and you haven't said a word since we left the tower." Cyborg said.
"huh?" Beast Boy said pushing his hair out of his face. He looked over at Cyborg.
Terra's cell phone rang.
"Hello" Terra said as she stood up and walked away from the table so she could talk in private.
"Beast Boy are you alright," Cyborg asked again.
"Yeah I'm fine," Beast Boy lied. Cyborg looked convinced as Beast Boy grabbed a slice of Pizza and started eating. If Beast Boy had learned anything in the last seven years it was how to lie convincingly.
Terra returned to the table, with a look of agitation on her face.
"What's wrong Terra?" Starfire asked as her cell phone rang.
"Jessminda got in another fight." Terra said. "Marie helped her," she added as Starfire answered her phone.
Marie, Jessminda, Carrie, Heather, and Chimera were in the principal's office. Each sitting away from one another.
"Are we in trouble?" Heather asked.
"Yes." Mr. Neilson the principal said.
"But I didn't even fight." Heather protested.
"Really I saw you with them." Mr. Neilson said.
"They pulled me in." Heather said. "I had no choice," she said.
"That's not what I saw." Mr. Neilson said.
"It's the truth." Heather said.
Mr. Neilson went into his office and waited for their parents to arrive. Terra, Robin, Starfire, Blackfire, and Red X came in.
"Mom" Marie and Heather said. Marie went over to Starfire and Heather to Blackfire.
"What did they do this time?" Robin asked.
"They got in a fight." Mr. Neilson said. "They're suspened for five days each." He said.
"5 Days!!" Jessminda said.
"Yes." Mr. Neilson said.
"No fair." Jessminda said.
"It is fair." Mr. Neilson said.
Jessminda walked over to her mother. They left leavening Carrie and Chimera alone.
Cyborg was giving Terra and Jessminda a ride home. Raven was in front and Beast Boy was in back. They arrived at a light blue house with a white door.
"Nice house." Beast Boy said.
"Thanks." Terra said. Jessminda got out of the car, ran up to the door, opened, ran inside, and slammed it shut.
"She's nice." Beast Boy said.
"Yeah and this is one of her good days." Terra said smiling.
