OK! so here goes it. BTW my bff inspired something yesterday... Liquid mineral eye liner in purple! it really looks awesome and brings out my golden eyes.

It was fairly quiet while Raven and Beastboy walked together to see "Terra". Save for the occasional "oh, its kinda cold out." or the "hey! look a bird just flew over there". They stopped talking all together as the crept deeper into the earth. Closer to something else with every step.

Inside Beastboy's mind thoughts were going haywire. He wondered what Raven thought of him now. Practically being forced to see someone who she hated with a passion. Even worse-she had to go with him. Him over anyone else. And it was only because of his birthday.

"We're here." Raven said. Beastboy had been spacing off and was now just standing there. She was waiting for him to go. She didn't want to go first. Maybe she didn't want to go now at all.

"Yeah." he said barely audibly. He kicked a rock to the side nervously. Only now did he realize that it seemed like Terra was an idol that he worshiped.

But she was! he came to see her every time something happened. no matter how trivial, and she was always there to listen. One beam of light shone through the cracked dirt and it shone directly on her.

"Hey Terra." Beastboy spoke directly at the stone person before him.

Raven cautiously followed him. And when he sat down she did also.

Beastboy was quiet and he just smiled up at Terra.

Raven was unsure of what he was doing, "Aren't you going to tell her?" she asked almost impatiently.

"I dont' have too." he kept his stare up, "She knows." Beastboy sniffed almost like he was about to cry. That was the last thing Raven wanted to see.

Her control over her emotions suddenly failed. She started to fidget and bit her lip, "Uhh," she looked to the way out almost as if to check if it was still there. It was. She felt like a third wheel on a date, only worse. more like she was staring at two people who were kissing and whispering romantic secrets to each other, and she was there watching them in their private moment. Beastboy's voice just floated around her head and she started to break out in a cold sweat or nervousness.

"It's like my coming her is all she needs to know what i want to tell her." Beastboy said without noticing Raven. He just gazed up in dreamy stare at Terra.

"Beastboy," Raven started, her voice shaky yet anxious, "Did, or do, you love Terra?" She had no idea what she was saying now.

He broke his stare and shook his head while looking at his hands in awe, "I-I thought i did. I think i do now, but I'm not sure." He didn't even realize he was talking to Raven anymore and he started talking to himself. While he was mumbling about how he wasn't sure about anything, Raven tried to calm herself down from whatever had just happened inside of her brain.

What now!Raven thought. She had to follow up somehow on her question. Thinking back to all the books she had read. All the romance books and what they said about love,"Would you give yourself up to save her?" She prompted. She knew she had to sound completely out of tune. Asking personal questions that have nothing to do with her. But they did... Deep down she knew that she wanted to really know this answer.

"I..." he closed his eyes and thought about it. He took a deep breath, held it, then let it out in a great big sigh. he opened his eyes, but he didn't know that behind him, Raven knew what he would say and she was already up and heading for the exit. "I would give anything to get her back." Then he turned and Raven was gone. "Raven?" he called out. "Did you really ask me that?" he said softly.

***!***

Raven Had to get out as quickly as possible, and she didn't know why. Her legs just told her run. Her head just told her leg "Don't stop until you get somewhere you can be alone and think." And that's exactly what she did. She ran and ran. and then she was at the beach across from the tower. It was deserted.

"What did i just do in there?" she screamed at herself.

What is going on? My emotions are out of whack! she paced and sat and stood and moved around like a lunatic.

"I can't believe i was actually thinking about something like that!" And only she knew to what she was referring.

Seeing Beastboy like that, head over heels for someone who doesn't really exist anymore made her angry and dislike Terra even more than she already did. It was like he was under her spell. But you know what the spell is...

"Love." She whispered. "I love Beastboy. But he Loves Terra." She started to cry. And she flopped down in the sand and put her head in her lap and cried until she was gasping.

Why do i have to do this? why do i want to?

She only wanted to make him happy for all the things she had ever done to hurt him. All the times she verbally bullied him. All the times she offended and insulted him and broke down what little character he could hold on to. She had to make it up to him to show him that she really did care about him more than an enemy. or a friend. What was she going to do?

She knew she could bring Terra back. it was a secret she had known since Terra Became stone. a secret she kept so that she would never see that girl again. But seeing how much he loved Terra made Raven want to bring her back for him. So that he could be happy.

That's madness!

"When love is not madness, it is not love." she quoted something she had read once. " I have to do it."

And she went back to where Beastboy was at. Down, deep in the earth. He was still there. He should be, Raven hadn't been gone long. He didn't even come after Raven when she left. He just turned back to Terra like she would disappear if he left for one second.

Raven stayed back. Hiding in the shadows just ten yard away from Beastboy. She closed her eyes, sat and began to meditate. silently speaking the words she thought would never leave her lips. The statue began to glow.

Beastboy rubbed his eyes in confusion. His mouth hung open as Terra brightened to a blinding yellow light.

Raven spoke louder her magic words. Focusing and concentrating all her energy on Terra.

Beastboy shielded his eyes, but he wanted to look so badly. Then a crackling sound and a cracking sound. Then the light died down and Beastboy looked. Raven opened her eyes and saw her there. Still in the position she had been frozen in.

Slowly, Terra began to move her arms and neck. Then finally she took a step down. then another. One step away from Beastboy.

"Terra?" Beastboy gaped in amazement, "How did you..." he held out his hand and touched her hair, "You're alive?" He asked still wide eyed.

"I guess..." she looked down at her body. Then she looked up and smiled, "I am!" she leaped into Beastboys arms and kissed him. and he just held her and didn't let go.

Raven looked away and said softly, "Happy birthday Beastboy."

Oh NO! not Terra! hahahaha! its okay. Because when a man is in love, just as a man in debt, someone else has the advantage...
