Ch.3- Not Parading Around

Terra sighed it was now 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday and she couldn't fall back to sleep. Looking around at her familiar ceiling she let her mind wonder. Soon before she knew it she fell back asleep only to be woken up by a knock on the door.

"Coming" she yelled groggily as she pulled the covers of and slid out of bed.

Slipping on a pair of slippers she headed for the door. Peeking through the door hole she found it to only be one of the clones whom are formally known as a friend.

"Terra why are you not dressed" Crowned Cassie as Terra opened the door.

Terra looks the girl up and down, She is wears a blue shirt with black jeans.

"Where are we going" she asks as she rubs the sleep from her eyes.

"Duh silly the parade to celebrate the 10 years that the Teen Titans have protected the town." Cassie says it casually as if every one should know her face full of enthusiasm.

Rolling her eyes Terra turns and walks back to her bedroom where she digs through her closet pulling out her work uniform. "I have to work today Cassie, sorry I can't go" she says with fake remorse.

"Oh I took care of that, I went to your manager before I came here to get you silly so you don't have to work, and they'll excuse you cause of the celebrate" Cries Cassie as she wait for Terra in the kitchen.

Inwardly Terra groans but quickly changes into a long sleeve black shirt and a pair of Bell Bottom Jeans. She know that if she doesn't go she'll here the 'Clones' rant about the whole thing and complain on how she will ruin her rep if she doesn't go.

"Is Gabby going?" she asks as she quickly checks herself in the mirror to make sure all her scars are hidden from view.

"No!! She had to-" cries Cassie droning on with so gossipy story.

She drowns the rest out except for "mmhmm-ing" at the appropriate times. Pulling her hair into a high bun and sliding on her sneakers she emerges from the bedroom.

"Oh Terra why do you always have to wear such god awful clothing" grumbles Cassie.

Terra shrugs and ushers the girl out of the house only stopping to lock the door. They both climb into Cassie's car, immediately Cassie jumps into a story of how Josh, a popular football star, kisses her Saturday night. Terra once again drones it out as she stares out the window thinking of how to his herself in the crowd of spectators.

At the Parade

Terra and Cassie stand in the huge crowd that lines the streets all in wait for the whole thingy to start. Children whining and other people just gossiping as Terra stands next to Cassie and a few of there other 'Friends'. Looking around she searches for a great place to hide herself when the float with the titans on it passes. Seeing nothing to obvious she sighs. 'This is useless I can't hide anywhere and all I can do I hope that HE doesn't spot me' she thinks softly. All of a sudden the crowd cheers as the band stares to emerge from the corner about halfway down the block from where she stands. Panic rises in her chest and she quickly looks for anywhere to blend in or hide but still she finds nothing. She slowly backs away from the group she's with as the band passes and floats and performers emerge from around the corner. Backing straight up in the wall she cries out fearfully for there is nowhere to go. She jumps panicked as a roar emits from the crowd and the float she fears the most comes around the corner, on it the group of people she doesn't want to see the most. Frozen by fear she just stands there unable to process what to do. Slowly the float does near causing her panic to rise and keep her frozen to the wall all she can do now is hope they don't spot her. "You don't see me" she keeps mumbling to herself trying her hardest to not look like herself.

A sudden cry from the crowd ruins her mumbling as she looks up seeing 4 pairs of eyes all widely watching her as they pass by. The only pair that's not surprised looking are those green eyes of HIS.

Waiting for the world to fall - Jars of Clay

I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
But now I've grown beyond the walls to where I've never been
And it's still winter in my wonderland

I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
The farther off and already it just might make the life I lead
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who I am to You

I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

When I catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me
My view is changing me

I'm waiting
