Beastboy sat on the top of the DP Headquarters and watched the sun rise over the city. He sighed heavily and had his head hung low. Today was his mom's birthday. The mom he would never see again. Garfield let his legs swing over the edge of the building. The sun rise was always his favorite. It was the only time when he could relax. He heard the clicking of heels on the roof and his adopted mom came over and sat beside him.
"You're up early." She said.
"I couldn't sleep, not knowing what today was."
"It's her birthday."
He nodded sadly. Rita wrapped his arm around him.
"I like being on the team and having you as my mom, but I miss my real mom. Does that make me a bad person?" he asked.
"Of course not, Garfield, I know I can never take the place of your mother, but I'm trying. She was a good person."
"You knew my mom?"
"We were in a movie together and we've been friends ever since."
"My mom worked with you?"
"When we were about 17. Do you want to see the movie?"
He nodded and the two heroes went back inside. The movie was about 2 hours long. After it was over, Rita saw Garfield crying. She hugged him tightly and let him cry into her chest.
"I miss her so much."
"I know you do."
"It's my fault she's dead. I'm useless."
"Garfield Mark Logan, you are not useless. I know you miss her, but I know your mom wouldn't want you blaming yourself for what happened. You have to move on."
"You want me to forget my mom?!"
"No, don't forget her. Just stop feeling guilty about what happened. They fell off of a waterfall. Nobody could save them."
"I wish I could give her a gift, since it's her birthday."
"Actually you can. " Rita said, pulling him to his room.
After a few minutes, the two went back up to the roof and Beastboy had a green balloon in his hand. Rita had told him to write a special message on a piece of paper and place it inside the ballon.
"What do we do now?"
"Just let it go. It will go all the way up to heaven and your mom will get it."
"She will?"
"She will, now let go."
Garfield let go of the balloon and watched it float all the way up into the clouds, until you couldn't see it anymore. BB hugged Rita and the two went inside for breakfast. The note Beastboy wrote to his mom was simple. It read:
I'll never forget you.
Love, Gar
