Alright, here's the first of the recommendation pieces… and the tenth one-shot! Reached double digits!

I sort of combined a few of the ideas given to me, so it may not be exactly what was asked for, but… I hope that's okay with you guys. I just really liked the way this one came out because personally I'm not a huge fan of Terra and BB, but I know that there was something between them. So here it is… I hope I did the idea justice.

I decided to write this as though Terra never came back from being stone (because I thought it worked better for the idea)

Recommendations made by: BeastGreen and Remzal Von Enili (a combination of both their ideas )

P.s. I'd just like to recommend one of my other stories, 'we can'. It's a mas y Menos one shot, and I personally think it's good, but I would love to hear your guys' opinions on it, so if you find the time to read it, I would greatly appreciate it

"You really loved her… didn't you…" The semi-robotic teen asked softly as he strode toward his oddly quiet friend. He hated that place, the cave… it was full of stalactites, and the mere sight of those icicle-like rocks bearing down from the ceiling awoke long since repressed fears from his childhood… fears that were simply those created by too many tragic movie endings.

As he continued toward his still silent friend, he couldn't help but wonder why he kept putting himself though this. It had been two years since Terra's… departure, and every few months, the team would notice the short-term disappearance of their one green member… and they all knew where he went. Cyborg also knew that every time he came, the pain would come back full force… so he wondered why he bothered coming… wasn't the first heart wrenching time enough?

When he finally reached his younger friend's side, he stopped. He had only waited a moment before the green teen turned to face him, a soft, sad smile on his face.

"You know what Cy… I don't think I did," he replied. The cybernetic couldn't help being surprised at this.

"You… didn't?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. The younger teen grinned and shook his head.

"No, I didn't… I had some kind of connection with her, but it was never love… maybe it could have been someday, but… somehow I don't think it would have." He said glancing up at the rocky statue that had once been both a great friend, and a horrible enemy. Cyborg processed this for a moment.

"So then why do you come here… why do you put yourself through this over and over again?" he questioned, glancing down at his younger friend, sadness in his gaze. The green boy smiled sadly before turning back to his friend.

"Because I made a mistake Cyborg…" he said matter-of-factly. Yet again, the robotic teen raised a questioning eyebrow.

"Mistake? What are you talking about?" he asked, slightly frustrated. The changeling grinned again, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"I stopped respecting her, Cyborg. That was my mistake. That, and I actually agreed with her when she said she had no friends…" Yet again, his gaze lingered on the stone girls form, "It was wrong… we were still her friends, she could still have come back, but I burned her bridges before she was given the chance to chose…"

Cyborg remained silent for a moment.

"You only did what we all did, Beast boy… you ain't the one to blame for what happened…" He stated surely. Beast boy chuckled dryly.

"I know Cy… but I just thought I'd at least try to make it up to her, by showing my respects to her now. I doubt she knows I come here, but if she does, then she at least knows I still care, and that she really does have friends left here," he explained, his eyes shining with unshed tears, "She didn't deserve to die thinking she was alone, and I could have prevented that, maybe even prevented the whole thing. I know I can't change the past, so I may as well stop dwelling on it and try to make up for my mistakes now… clear my conscience, ya know?" he asked, looking up to his older friend for agreement.

The taller boy smiled gently, nodding his understanding.

"I guess that makes sense… but… it's been two years B, I think she'd forgive you if you gave yourself some time to actually heal," the green boy smiled up at him as one stray tear slid down his cheek.

"I think you're right Cy…" and with that, and one last look at the statue that had once caused him so much pain, he turned toward the caverns exit, the taller boy in tow.

"So… you really didn't love her?" Cyborg asked again, still slightly shocked by the boy's original response. Beast boy chuckled.

"No… I didn't love her. But I did love the attention." Cyborg laughed.

"You would, wouldn't you?" he chuckled warmly, ruffling the younger teens forest green hair. Beast boy grinned.

"What can I say, I'm a romantic." And with that, they started back toward the light of day.
