Terra stalked the halls of Titan Tower at night. What was with that girl? Why did she rub her the wrong way? Why wa she so special? And above all, WHY DID BEAST BOY FAWN ALL OVER HER LIKE THAT?
Terra had been back two weeks, and in that time she had tried repeatedly to snag Beast Boy's attention, to rebuild their old relationship. But each time, he'd smile, shrug, and go running back to Toph. WHAT DID SHE HAVE THAT WAS SO SPECIAL?
"What does she have that I don't?" Terra grumbled to herself, not for the first time. Finding her way to the common room, she plopped down on the couch.
As if all the attention Beast Boy payed her weren't bad enough, Terra had seen the girl's room. What the hell kinda first impression had the girl made to get that kinda effort for the room? The most she got was a special bed and custom wallpaper. Toph, meanwhile, gets a full redecoration to the point it didn't even look like a room anymore, but a displaced cave.
And then there was the girl herself! She walked with an unconcious grace and pois, going shoeless no matter what. Did she think she was the Mother Gaia herself? And the way the others seemed to always be watching her discretely, as though worried she might break. She wasn't even all that good looking! Okay, maybe that was harsh.
Sighing frustratedly, Terra turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. And to top it off, Toph said she was the greatest Geomancer ever. The ego on that girl! How could she claim that. Terra dropped the remote, and struggled for it, not noticing the channel was on Nicktoons. But then something came on the TV that caught all her attention.
"I am the greatest Earthbender ever, and don't you forget it!"
Terra's head snapped up, her eyes becoming fixed on the character that made the claim. A slow smile began to spread across her face as the cartoon concluded. She turned off the TV, and went to a computer, researching this show, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," and that character once she found her, Toph Bei Fong. She smiled as she ead all there was about her.
This was knowledge she could use.
Deep within the earth, something stirred, waking from eons long slumber, as THE TIME approached.
