Author Note: This one is longer to help make up for the last chapter…I love you all! Please review! Also:

goodgirl275- I didn't do all Danny, as the chapters have been going back and forth, rotating. The reason for this is to show what's happening roughly around the same time something else is happening, if that makes sense. But, lucky for you, it is 'back to Titans Tower' and the chapter after this will be Danny, but after CH9, it's all Titans. :)

Dragon Courage- Yeah, sorry about that shortness. I hate making any chapter less than a 1,000 words, but I was pleased with it ending on a 'nice note' so to speak. This chapter is a bit longer than normal chapters (for me anyway) to help make up for that.

Chapter 8:

Dani:

"Well," Robin said. It was long after the Tempest has closed and the Titans showed up. Beastboy was shying away as the Titans interrogated me. Of course, one reason Robin may be angry is because Starfire was a bit upset that I turned down her offer at having 'some girl time.' Though, after seeing her almost cry I promised her that I would make it up to her later.

I looked at Robin angrily.

"Look, I don't care what you think, Robin. You can't face Vlad alone!"

Beastboy looked at me concerned. My vision was starting to blur and I was starting to cry.
"Friend Kris with K," Starfire said as she bent down to my level, "What is the matter?"
I held back my sobs. I couldn't help it and I hated showing my weakness. Vlad was a sore point though. I still hated Vlad. To him, I was a mistake.

"Kris," Beastboy said gently as he comforted me and glared at Robin, "it's okay."

Robin narrowed his eyes.

"What did this Vlad guy do to you, Kris?"

"Wah?"

"You know what I mean."

I sighed.

"It's doesn't matter…I'm just a mistake…"

I sat down on my bed. I dried my tears. I hate myself for crying! I heard my phone go off. Huh. I forgot I even had a phone.

"Hello?"

"Kris, it's Beastboy."

"How did you get my number?"
"Hehe…uhh…unimportant! Anyway, I was wondering…would you like to go to on a second date with me?"

I smiled faintly.

"Sure Beastboy."

"Great! I'll pick you up at nine tomorrow!"

I was a bit confused, why nine at night? That's a bit…late…

"Sure, Beastboy. See ya then."

I hung up the phone and sighed. I really wished Danny was here. I am kind of worried about him. He's been gone for like two days. I need him though. Vlad is here, and I…I don't know if I can handle Vlad myself…

I put on my PJs and got into bed. I need some sleep. Today was a long day. I bit my lip and held back tears. Finally, I fell asleep.

I found myself alone. I looked around frantically. Vlad showed up behind me. I backed away slowly.

"No…you're not here…"

"But I am, and I am here to teach you where you belong!"

Before I could do anything, his fist struck my stomach. I yelled out in pain. I felt tears from the hurt.

"You insignificant piece of rubbish!"

He hit me again. I tried to go ghost, tried to fight back. I couldn't. Why couldn't I go ghost!? I screamed again as Vlad hit me and then all I saw was black.

I was in some type of container made of glass. It was filled with a strange liquid and tubes were everywhere. I desperately pounded on the glass to try and get out. I gasped. That was a bad idea. That hurt. It hurts to move. Vlad hit me too hard. It really really hurts. I felt tears blur my vision from my pain. I grabbed my side and was shocked to see blood. What did this monster do?

"It's pointless to try and escape."

I saw Vlad as he stepped out of the shadows. He smiled evilly and glared at me. I tried to put on a brave face like Danny told me to do. I tried to not show this bastard how much pain he's put me through…and how much he scares me.

"You are a pointless mistake. You're worthless! You disappoint your…father..."

I felt the tears trying to escape.

"You are not my father," I sobbed out. He banged on the glass and it made my head spin. It hurt.

"Be quiet! At least with you, I can make the perfect clone!"

I bit my lip and looked away. I couldn't look that monster in the eyes. What if he's right? What if I am a mistake? What if I am worthless? What if…No. NO!

"No I am not," I gasped out.

"Ah," Vlad said, "But you are. You are nothing but a mistake, a failed clone! For that…I'm afraid I must have to destroy you."

He pushed a button and I felt volts of electricity go through the liquid and I screamed…

I woke up screaming and crying.

"Danny, where are you when I need you…"

I was working at the Tempest and Beastboy (in disguise) was helping me because I can't do all of it alone.
"Okay," BB said as he came up to me, "What's wrong?"

"What," I asked confused.

"You look so solemn and sad and stuff," BB looked at me sadly, "I don't like seeing you sad. Please."

I smiled faintly and gave him a hug.
"Thanks BB. I'm just…worried."

"About?"

"Chris…Vlad…everything. It's okay though."
Beastboy smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.

I was really happy when the Tempest finally closed and it was eight o'clock. Beastboy left to get ready so it gave me time to get ready too. I didn't know what he was planning, but by the grin he had on when he left, it was something.

I smiled at myself in the mirror. I decided to dress a bit different. I had on jean shorts (that were a bit short and Danny would scold me for wearing, but ha! He ain't here!), sandals, and a nice black shirt that had the words 'Protect your heart' inside a heart.

I heard the doorbell and I opened the door.
"You ready," Beastboy asked. I nodded.

I was utterly confused at what Beastboy's plan was. He had led me to practically outside of town, way out there. It was like the dessert almost. He transformed into a horse and I had to ride him-currently ignoring how wrong that sounds. He took me to the top of a cliff. I got off of him and he transformed back.

"So, do you like?"

Beastboy:

I wasn't sure if Kris would like this all or not. This whole thing I wasn't quite sure about. The idea of it reminded me of Terra. I hope Kris likes the stars though. I smiled at Kris's awe-stricken expression.

I had a nice blanket set down on the ground with many pillows and blankets (I won't even talk about the trouble I had to go through to get the extra pillows and blankets). I also had a very nice picnic set up (a nice basket that had food and drinks). I even put one lantern on either side of the blankets so we could see.

"How- why?"

"To see the stars."

Dani:

I was honestly impressed with Beastboy. This was very nice and romantic. Seeing the stars was a hobby of mine. I guess it had to do with the NASA and being DNA-related to Danny. At least I'm not clueless.

Soon, Beastboy got out the food. I laughed when I saw that it was fancy bread and pasta. Beastboy rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Hehe, well, I didn't think you would like Tofu sandwiches and pasta is something that I can make!"

I felt my heart melt. He was a hardcore vegan and loved Tofu. Yet, he stopped to do something different, for me.

"Thanks BB," I said and I meant it.

After we were done eating the pasta- which was very good- and the bread and finished drinking the water he brought we laid down on the blankets and pillows to just lay down to star gaze.

I smiled.

Beastboy:

We sat looking at the stars with smiles on our faces. Kris looked so happy so…in her element. Like Terra, I shook my head, No. I can't think like that. Terra is GONE and I need to move on. I have Kris now.

Kris was currently laying with her head on my chest and my arm over her shoulder. I hugged her close as she was starting to shiver. I didn't blame her it was about ten at night, or later.

"See that star there," Kris said as she pointed up at this random star. I squinted.

"Uh, yeah?"
"It's part of the Ursa Major, or the Big Bear constellation."

I looked at her. She looked so happy when she started talking about that. She blushed and I found that so cute.

"Sorry," she said than looked at the stars. Her eyes were lit up.
"I just always wanted to be an astronaut, Chris did too, but it's impossible, for the both of us."

I hated seeing that look in her eyes. Like her dreams were crushed. I sighed, not knowing what to say. I wanted to say something, anything, to let her know that it was okay. Kris continued, and I saw the light of her dreams return to her eyes,

"But Chris says that at some point, people thought that putting Man on the Moon was impossible too. So, who knows?"

I smiled and yawned. Me yawning started a never-ending chain of Kris and I yawning back and forth. Soon, Kris fell asleep. She looked so cute when she's sleeping. I looked at her and kissed her forehead,

"Goodnight, Kris."
Then I fell asleep too with Kris on my chest.

I woke up startled.

"AH!"

I looked at Kris in worry.
"Kris?"

She was screaming. I could see tears in her eyes and I got up to try and hug her. She was curled in a ball. It took me a minute to realize she was asleep and it was a nightmare.

"Kris, shh…it's okay."
I held Kris in my arms as she freaked out and cried. What was making her feel this way? What in the world is making her this scared? I held her tightly. She looked at me with teary eyes.
"Don't let him…hurt me…again…please…"

I didn't know what she was talking about, but I kissed her forehead.
"I won't. I promise."

"Ah, what a touching scene."

I wiped around and saw that it was the Vlad guy that we fought the other day.

"You!"

"Yes, me. I see you're making friends with that mistake."

My fur bristled. Kris hide behind me slightly.
"Vlad," she whispered. She was scared. I could tell. I glared at him.

"You won't hurt her, or anyone!"

Before I knew what was happening, my animal instincts kicked in to protect Kris. I turned into the Beast due to my anger.

Dani:

I couldn't help but be scared when I saw Vlad. I was very scared. I don't know if it's because of the nightmares or not, but I wish Danny was here. I have Beastboy though. I know I should have been surprised or scared of what BB turned into, but I wasn't. I was safe. In some weird way, BB reminded me of Wulf too, which is weird.

Vlad looked momentarily surprised and BB was able to attack. I watched with wide eyes as he clawed at Vlad and Vlad shot at him. BB needed help, but I can't reveal my powers, not yet. I grabbed the TT communicator that BB dropped. I pressed the button and Robin came on the screen.

"BB, what do you want it's late- Kris?"

"Beastboy needs help, Vlad Plasimus showed up, backup! We're just outside of town and-"

"Got it. We're on our way. Stay safe!"

Yeah, right. I'm a jinx, bad luck.

Luckily, I only had to wait a minute or two for the Titans to show up. Robin glared at Vlad.

"Titans go!"

I stood and watched as the fight unfolded in front of me. I watched in horror as one by one the Titans were defeated by Vlad's duplicites and then Beastboy was hit. He howled.
"Beastboy," I shouted in alarm with the other Titans. He transformed from that Beast into the Beastboy I know. He looked in pain and he was hurt. I glared at Vlad and my eyes glowed green dangerously.

The Titans looked at me shocked and Beastboy was still half-way knocked out.

"The mistake,"

Raven:

We all watched in alarm as two white-blue rings appeared around Kris's waist and soon, she was different. Her hair was now white, similar to Danny/Chris's. Her eyes were green and she was wearing an odd outfit.

"You just made a big mistake."
