Chapter One:
Beast Boy's girl...Or is she... Santa's?
Beast Boy sighed. He was right, it was going to be another boring team meeting. Robin stood at the head of the room while the others sat in attention on the couch.
"Can we please make this quick? I have more important things to do!" Beast Boy whined.
"Friend Beast Boy, I do not believe the playing of the video games is more important," Starfire said.
"Pay attention. Beast Boy, this is important and I think your really going to want to hear it." The stern tone in his leaders voice told Beast Boy that this was serious. Great, just what he loved. Being serious! Because we all know how easy it is for a guy like Beast Boy to be serious!
"You think a missing piece of cheese on your sandwich is important." Beast Boy then put on his best impression of Robin. "Titans! We have an emergency! The cheese is missing! I repeat, the cheese is missing! We have to find the thief and stop them from stealing someone else's cheese! Titan's Go and stop the cheese thief!"
Cyborg suppressed laughter and Starfire started to giggle. Even Raven was smirking.
"Beast Boy -" Robing start but was cut off.
"I bet you'd call up all the honorary Titans to come help look for the cheese. And then-"
"Beast Boy!"
"I'm not finished! And then you'd-"
"It's about Terra." The second Robin said her name Beast Boy's wide grin disappeared and was replaced with a sudden frown. It had been a long time since any of them had mentioned her. Hearing her name spoken was like a blast from the past.
"What about her?"
"We think..." Robin trailed off.
"What? What do you think?" Beast Boy asked annoyed that Robin wasn't telling him. It was just like his ego maniac of a leader to put on the suspense! This wasn't some comic book! If it was Beast Boy would so be enjoying this more! Comics are fun, meetings are not. It's one of the basic facts of life.
"We think we may have found a way to bring her back." Beast Boy looked at Robin in surprise. They had been searching for a cure for so long. Every time they thought they finally had figured out a way to bring Terra back from stone, it turned out to be a dud and Beast Boy was let down. They had finally just stopped looking, or so Beast Boy thought.
"Are you... sure?" Beast Boy asked quietly, afraid to let himself get excited. He didn't want to be let down again. Not when it was something, someone, who meant so much to him.
"We think this time is for sure," Cyborg said speaking up.
"But... How?"
"Let me explain..."
- - - - -
"So then... this is for real?"
Robin nodded.
"I still don't get it though..." Beast Boy said.
Cyborg sighed exasperated. "Look man it's not that hard to understand. When Terra was left with the lava, her powers cooled the lava and formed a protective casing for her."
"Okay, that much I get."
"But she partially fused with the rock," Cyborg continued, "So part of her DNA structure is mixed with the molecules of the rock. The reason none of our other attempts worked is because they were meant to get the whole Terra out. But the way her DNA is fused, only part of her remains."
"And that's were you lost me."
"Well what don't you get?"
"Everything."
"Well, there's no use in me trying to explain to you. Your hopeless," Cyborg said with a shake of head.
"I am not!" Beast Boy said defensively, "I do get it. It's just... weird. Only part of her remains?"
"Yes. It's like... Part of her is now one with the rock."
"And that thing your working on is supposed to separate her DNA from the rock?"
"Behold! He was actually paying attention! And he actually get's it! Someone give this dude a award!" Cyborg joked.
"Ha ha ha." Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "So then what? What are we supposed to do after you separate her DNA from the rock?"
"Well then, we do nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Her powers should just drop her rock shell out of instinct. They probably would have done that long ago, but they couldn't because of the whole DNA thing."
"Do you think it will really work?" Beast Boy asked unsure.
"I'm almost positive," Cyborg assured him. Beast Boy felt a small flicker of hope and excitement light within in him.
"But there is a possible... side effect," Robin said. He looked directly at Cyborg, his eyes seemed to say "You break it to him".
"Right," Cyborg sighed.
"What is it?" Beast Boy asked. He was getting really annoyed with his teammates! They keep saying stuff but not cluing him in! Rude much? This isn't some soap opera! There is absolutely no need for the dramatic suspense!
"If Terra's powers don't kick in instantly once her DNA is restored to her, than they most likely never will. And if that happens, then Terra's going to stay in that state... permanently." The flicker of excitement and hope Beast Boy felt extinguished; like a candle being blow out. Beast Boy's wick had burned down to the bottom and he wasn't sure there was enough of it left to be re-lit.
The thought of Terra never coming back... to put it blunt it hurt. And it was scary. It scared Beast Boy to think that the girl he loved might never have another chance at life. That she might never smile again, or laugh at his jokes, or be there to talk to. That she might never get her happily ever after.
"When can we go... You know, try that thing out?" Beast Boy asked. There was still a small amount of hope in him and it showed when he spoke. After all this was Terra, and he could never give up on Terra.
"I have a few more modifications to make on. So I'd say maybe... next week."
"Next week!? But dude! That's so far away!" Beast Boy complained. There was just no way he could wait an entire week! I mean, it was already covered that Beast Boy and patience do NOT mix.
Cyborg grinned at his friends reaction. "Just kidding," He said, "It should be done tomorrow."
Beast Boy nodded. Now tomorrow he could wait for. But even if it were next week, or an entire year to wait, Beast Boy would probably manage to muster up enough patience. He'd wait until the end of the world for Terra.
- - - - - -
Beast Boy stared up at the stars on his ceiling. You know, those colorful glow in the dark stars you stick to your ceiling when you're a kid, because your afraid of the dark and the stars give you something to stare at until you fall asleep? Yeah, those. And of course Beast Boy, being the absolute biggest kid ever, had them. Well, no, Beast Boy wasn't the biggest kid, because technically he was still a kid. Just because you're a teenager doesn't mean your not a kid anymore. So Beast Boy had the right to kid things, no matter how childish.
Beast Boy counted the stars over and over again in a attempt to fall asleep. 28 stars. Let's count them again... 1, 2, 3... Still 28. Maybe he should try counting them down from 28. Yeah! That was sure to work! Well, now the last number he ended up with was 1. So does that mean there's only one star? No, there were more than one star. So then... How did he end up with the number one? There were defiantly a lot of stars... Wait how many again? He counted them at least twenty times... So does that mean there are twenty stars? But then how did he get one? GAH!
Beast Boy turned his head to look at his digital clock. The clock blinked 1:45 am in bright red. Oh... That's how. Note to self: Never try to count at 1:45 in the morning. You may end up with severe brain damage.
Beast Boy looked back up at the stars. The stars had made the shape of Terra's face. With the two deep calming blue stars acting as her eyes. And yellow stars had made her golden blond hair. Her beautifully soft and luscious hair... Beast Boy shook his head and this time when he looked at the stars they were in their normal random arrangement. He had been hallucinating.
Greattt, He thought, I've finally gone crazy
Beast Boy yawned loudly. Or maybe he was just overly tired. Yeah, that was most likely the case. He should really get some sleep. But there was just too much on his mind. And he was too anxious. There was no possible way he could sleep.
He sat up and reached over for the can of soda that was sitting on the shelf next to his bed. He chugged the entire can done in a minute flat. Well that should keep him awake! There's no way you can fall asleep when your wired on soda!
Beast Boy laid back down and the second his head touched the pillow, he was out. So maybe you could fall asleep after having soda... Wow, didn't think it was possible.
Well, maybe he really did need the sleep because man did he have one heck of a dream...
Beast Boy's Dream...
"Dude! Where the heck am I?" Beast Boy looked around. He was sitting at a work bench. There were tools and toys spread out all over the table. And tons of little people were sitting at the table working on the toys. They were small, had smocks and pointed hats on, and they had pointed ear... Wait were these... elves?
"Elves?" Beast Boy questioned confused.
"Let's check in on my elves," A voice boomed.
"It's the boss!" All the elves exclaimed. A man in a red suit walked into the room. He was fat, had a long white beard, dimples, a cherry nose...
"Ho ho ho!" The man laughed. And he was jolly...
"Santa!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Ho ho ho! Why yes I am!" Santa said. Just then another person entered the room. It was a girl in her teens. She had long blond hair and a very slim figure, she was almost a unhealthy skinny. Her most noticeably feature were her blue eyes. They were a calm comforting blue yet a piercing blue at the same time. She was dressed in a skimpy red santa dress that went down to the middle of her thighs, and she had on black boots that went up to her knees.
"T-terra?" Beast Boy's jaw dropped. He was positive that was Terra and man did she look... hot. Beast Boy began to drool. Oh yeah, his hormones kicked in, big time.
The girl who was supposedly Terra walked over to Santa. Santa put his arm around her waste and pulled her in for a kiss which she delivered.
"Hey! Get your hands off of my girl!" Beast Boy yelled standing up. His girl? I wonder what possessed him to say that.
"Mrs. Clause? Do you know this elf?" Santa asked Terra.
"No I don't Santa," Terra said giving him another kiss. Music started to play and Terra started to sing the song "Santa Baby".
When the music ended Beast Boy walked over to where Terra and Santa stood.
"Terra is that really you?" He asked.
"They call me Mrs. Clause now," Terra replied. She smiled up at Santa, or should I say, her Mr. Clause. Beast Boy just stood there dumbfounded.
"Alright everyone get back to work!" Santa said.
"No way! Not until you tell me what the heck is going on!?" Beast Boy demanded.
"I said get back to work," Santa repeated.
"Terra since when are you Mrs. Clause!? Since when are you out of stone?!" Terra didn't reply. Santa snapped his fingers and two elves came over. Only they were too big to be considered elves.. They were like elf giants. I mean they were bigger than Cyborg!
The elf giants grabbed onto Beast Boy's arms and began to pull him backwards.
"You are my elf," Santa said simply. Both Terra and Santa were showing evil smirks. They turned and started walking of the room arm in arm.
"No!" Beast Boy yelled, "I don't want to be an elf! I want to be a dentist! Wait, no I don't! Gah!"
End Beast Boy's dream.
"No! I don't want to be a elf or a dentist! Terra come back here!" Beast Boy screamed He jolted upright in bed with a cold sweat.
"Okay now, I've gone crazy," He grumbled, "That's it, no more soda before bed."
He glanced over at his clock. 8:00 am. Today was the day...
Author's Note: Oh man... this chapter is a total piece of crud and I know it. I just really did not want to put any effort in it, sorry. I'm mostly writing this for the humor. I need to write humor or I'll die XD So I hope this chapter was funny. It was SO much fun to write. Well, at least BB's dream was! XDD I got the idea because the song "Santa Baby" was playing on the radio. Oh, and by the way I do NOT own that song. It kinda scares me... It's a very weird song.
Anywho, PLEASE review if you care about my self esteem at all!
