Impact.
The Titans gathered into the large room, as dusk set in. Scarlet was the last to appear. Robin smiled at her as she drifted past him. Rapidly his face fell when she blanked him. Taking a seat beside Beast Boy, who happened to be shoving tofu waffles into his mouth at lightening speed. The boy wonder sighed, flicking the crumbs that had narrowly missed his friends green mouth across the table. He had made his mind up. No more waiting her the right moment, or worrying about the consequences. He was going to ask Raven out. Tonight in fact…actually, know that he thought about it, maybe tomorrow would be better. After she had had a chance to make a decision about Terra.
Right at that moment the doors were flung open, and the little blonde girl zipped into the room, closely followed by Starfire.
"Ta da!" Terra flung her arms into the air, showing off her new look. A pink dress clung loosely against her body.
"What do you think?" Starfire pondered.
Scarlet scowled. That was her dress! Her present that Raven had rejected. She folded her arms and looked away in disgust. Not that anyone really noticed her. Beast Boy was busy choking on his complements. Cyborg was also admiring Terra's new look and Starfire had her arms firmly around Robins chest giggling insanely.
It was Terra that spoke to her first.
"Well Rae," she gave a spin. The dress gently fanned out in the wind, and her beautiful blonde curl floated above her shoulders. Beast Boy was memorised. Terra batted her bright blue eyes. "What do you think?" She smiled warmly.
Pathetic. She's trying to be friendly! Give her the cold shoulder!
"Depends on whether you want to be compare to a Barbie doll,"
Part of Terra knew that re-gaining Raven's trust would be difficult, however she also wouldn't fall down at the first hurdle. She tossed her head back and roared with laughter, as if Scarlet had made some sort of amusing joke
A sigh of relief echoed from the other Titans, who at once changed the subject. Ushering Terra to the couch and getting her to tell them exactly what happened.
Terra shrugged. "Not a lot really. Was a stone. Not anymore,"
"And you expect us to believe that?" Scarlet's voice croaked from the corner. Terra glazed at her bare feet.
"I guess I deserved that," she whispered.
Beast Boy slip beside her, his arm rested on her shoulder. "No way Terra. We all know that it wasn't your fault and we forgive you,"
"Speak for yourself!" murmured Scarlet.
Beast Boy threw her a hateful glare. "What's your problem?!"
"My problem is your short term memory!" Scarlet made the coffee table float into the air and crash on BB head. On purpose of course, but to the others it just looked as if she had lost control of her anger.
"BB, you okay?" Cyborg helped him up.
"It barely hit me," the green boy snapped refusing Cyborg's help. The other Titan stepped aside, surprised by Beast Boy sudden rage.
Something could be felt bubbling within him. A strange sort of feeling that Beast Boy had never come into contact with before. Thoughts kept drumming into his head. Why was Raven being such a jerk? She never liked Terra, this had nothing to do with her betrayal! Maybe if she had been nice to her in the first place, Terra would never have left. Why did she have to ruin everything? He glared at the girl. He was being over powered, he knew that, but he didn't care.
"I'm sick of having to step on egg shells in case it upsets you!" he growled. "I'm sick of your stupid mood swings! In fact Raven I'm just plain sick of you!"
Scarlet took a step back from the young man, as he rushed at her, Robin swung his arms out to stop Beast Boy.
"That was un called for!" He said, clutching BB by the shoulders.
"I wouldn't agree," Cyborg snapped. Something was brewing within him as well. He couldn't control it. "If anyone should not be member of the team maybe it's her!"
Robin couldn't believe his ears. Nor could anyone else for that matter. This was so unlike them.
"Look, I didn't think I'd cause this much trouble," sighed Terra. "I'll go…"
"NO!" Starfire roared. An unknown force had taken over her. "I like you better Terra, much better then that grumpy, moody little…." she fired a star ball at Scarlet, who only narrowly dodged it.
"What's the matter with you?" she asked in bewilderment.
"You!"
"You're the problem!"
"Why are we wasting our time we a sour faced misery guts…"
"Doesn't care about anyone but herself…"
"…and she suppose to be our friend…"
The Titans had moved into an attack position, with Terra watching helplessly. Scarlet shut her eyes, it was all she could do to stop herself from crying. Why were her friends being so mean to her?
"Titans stop!" As Robin gave his order, the strange angry that had gripped each of the three Titans seemed to fade. Each one looked ashamed, even embarrassed. Beast Boy approached Scarlet in the attempts to apologise, to have her yell at him to leave her alone before rushing out the room.
Robin folded his arms. "I want an explanation, and I want one now!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scarlet flung her door shut behind her, then busted into a pool of tears. They were suppose to be her friends, how could they do that to her? She wondered how far they would have gone. Would they have destroyed her? And why? What had caused them to change?
I did.
The hideous laughter filled her mind. Scarlet fell to the floor. He's not here. She told herself. He's not. I know it.
Yes am I.
Scarlets eyes flooded across the room. But she could see nothing. "What…did you do to them?" her voice was quiet as if she was afraid of it.
I manipulate their emotions to direct a hatred at you!
"Why?" she moaned.
His laughter fell upon her once more, and then he was gone. Scarlet stood up and dried her eyes. She knew why he had. To prove to her that deep down even the Titans despites Raven. And if they weren't even her friends, how could they ever be hers…?

That's all folks!
