Chapter 4: Proposal

Terra got up the next morning and stretched her arms. She looked over at the picture of her and Beastboy on their first date. She smiled got out of bed. She saw that Drake was still asleep in the bed across from her. She wanted to go kiss him on the cheek but she knew she shouldn't. Terra got out of her bed and went to have breakfast. None of the other titans were awake so she just helped herself to a bowl of cereal. She ate slowly while thinking about both Drake and Beastboy.

One by one the other titans came and had breakfast. They greeted Terra but she was too caught up in her thoughts to notice. She snapped out of her thoughts when Beastboy woke up and came in.

"Hey Beastboy." She said.

"… Hi Terra." Beastboy said without any emotion whatsoever. There was obviously something on his mind.

"So where do you want to go tonight?"

"What?" asked Beastboy. He didn't remember his talk with Terra the day before.

"Remember, yesterday we agreed to have dinner tonight?"

"O yeah I remember. Um… anywhere's fine with me."

"Oh, how about that new restaurant on the corner of main street. I hear it's really good and they have a lot of veggie dishes." Terra said.

"Sure Terra." Beastboy said more enthusiastically. Drake came in to the room and walked up to Terra and Beastboy.

"Good morning guys." He said as he got a bowl of frosted flakes.

"Good morning Drake." Terra said.

The morning went by quickly. At lunch Drake walked up to Terra and told her he had to go out for most of the afternoon. When he left Terra wondered what he had to do.

Beastboy walked outside the tower and walked over to the two boulders and picked up the ring that was luckily still there. Beastboy picked it up and looked at it. It was a little dirty but he just washed it in the ocean to fix that.

Meanwhile Drake was flying around on a rock looking for a particular store. He flew around the corner and found the most expensive jewelry store in the entire city. Drake walked in and looked around.

Back at the tower Beastboy gathered all of the titans except Terra. He took them all into his room and locked the door.

"What's wrong Beastboy?" asked Robin.

"Okay all of you have to not be in the tower from ten to eleven o'clock okay."

"Why?" asked Cyborg.

"Well it's a personal thing." Beastboy said as he felt the ring in his pocket.

"Come on, you can tell us. We won't tell anyone." Cyborg said.

"Well okay… Um… I'm… going to… how do I say this… I'm going t-to… pr-propose to Terra." Beastboy managed to say.

"WHAT!!!" all of the titans except Raven exclaimed.

"Uh… Wow." Raven said in her usual tone.

"Yup, this is the ring." He said as he showed them the ring.

"Glorious." Starfire said.

"We'll be happy to be out of your way." Robin said. Suddenly Terra walked into the room and surprised everyone. Beastboy threw the ring into the air in surprise. He luckily jumped and caught it before Terra could see it.

"What's everyone doing in here?" she asked.

"Uh… we're… um… planning your birthday party…" Beastboy lied. The other titans just nodded along.

"Beastboy, my birthday isn't for another six months. Come on what are you doing?" she asked persistently.

"Well... actually we were… planning my cousin's brother's best friend's little sister's wedding party." Beastboy lied again.

"And what would her name be?" she asked knowing Beastboy was lying.

"Um… Ter… I mean… Delilah." Beastboy said.

"So when is the wedding?"

"…"

"Okay whatever. Anyway has anyone seen Drake?"

"I think he's still out." Robin said.

"Okay, I'll leave so you guys can plan the 'wedding party'" Terra said sarcastically as she left the room. When she was gone everyone sighed.

"That was close." Beastboy said.

"You don't even know your future wife's birthday. How sad." Raven said.

"Of course I knew when it was I was just hoping… she wouldn't remember when it was." Beastboy said.

"You know what that doesn't matter right now, what matters is that I'm going to marry Terra." Beastboy said gladly.

"So how will you burst the large question?" asked Starfire.

"Pop the big question Star, and I'm going to do right when we get back from our date tonight." Beastboy said. "I'll take her to her room and then give her these flowers I bought and then that's when I'm going to ask her."

"Maybe you should decorate her room with 'Will you marry me stuff' or something like that." Robin suggested.

"Well actually I'm going to put scented candles in her room before we leave. Hopefully I don't burn down the tower." Beastboy said with a chuckle.

"We'll relay this information to Drake when we see him." Robin said. (The other titans don't know about Drake and Terra's history.)

"Well actually I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell him about me proposing, just keep him away from the tower."

"Why?" Raven asked.

"Well…" Beastboy thought wondering whether to tell the other titans about Drake and Terra or not. He decided not to. "Well Drake is like a brother to Terra and he may be protective of Terra."

"Well okay then." Cyborg said as he and the other titans left the room.

Meanwhile Drake was still in the same store trying to find something special. He'd been looking for quite some time now.

"Sir, may I help you?" one of the workers said.

"No I'm fine" Drake said. He looked a bit more and then went to find another store. Sadly nothing there was good enough either so he went to another. Drake was running out of jewelry stores. As he was flying to another one he saw that it was being robbed by Gizmo. Drake walked into the store and threw a small rock at Gizmo's head.

"Ow." He said as he turned around expecting to see the titans.

"Who are you?" Gizmo asked.

" The name's Drake." He said as the bag in gizmo's hand suddenly came forward and Drake took it.

"How did you do that?" Gizmo asked in surprise.

"The same way I'm going to do this!" Drake yelled as his hands glowed white and Gizmo suddenly went flying out the door. Drake walked out slowly and saw Gizmo was lying on the floor. Gizmo looked up. When Drake noticed that gizmo was looking up Drake looked up and saw Mammoth dropping on him. Drake barely jumped out of the way. Suddenly a purple hex hit ground Drake was standing on and it crumbled and he fell deep down. The HIVE thought they had won but Drake flew up on a rock.

Drake's hands glowed yellow and three boulders came out of the ground and were hurtled at the HIVE. Jinx hexed it and it broke it half before it hit her. The four spider legs came out of his backpack and slammed the boulder coming towards him aside. Mammoth simply caught his boulder and threw it back at Drake. Drake lifted his hand and the boulder stopped. Next he shaped the boulder into a large fist that he threw at Mammoth. The fist sent him flying. Jinx hexed the rock Drake was floating on and it crumbled beneath his feet. As he fell his hands glowed white and he levitated. The ground under Jinx suddenly rose with her on it. The rock took her high into the air. The rock under her suddenly wrapped around her and she fell to the ground. Lucky for her Mammoth ran up and caught her. He also broke the rock that encased her.

Drake went back to the ground and awaited their next attack. Mammoth jumped up and the ground sending shockwaves at Drake. Next Jinx saw a helicopter above Drake. She hexed the propeller and it fell down toward him. Drake got up on a rock once more to dodge the shockwaves and then his hands glowed white and he tried to stop the helicopter. It took every ounce of his power to finally set it down.

While Drake was busy with that Gizmo ran back into the jewelry store and picked up the bag of jewels that Drake had taken from him. When Drake set the helicopter down he flew higher into the air.

"You know I'm really getting sick of you." He said as his right hand glowed yellow and his left glowed white. A lamppost came and tied up Gizmo. The metal bars from a fence formed a circle around Mammoth and Drake sealed the top with a boulder. A rock fist came from the ground and squeezed Jinx. Within seconds the police came and took them to jail.

Drake walked up to bag of jewels and looked inside of it. There were many jewels, necklaces and rings in it. Drake took out a particular item and looked at it carefully. A grin crossed his face. He had found the perfect item. He walked back into the store and returned the jewels and decided to buy the item. The worker gave it to him free of charge since he stopped the HIVE.

"Thanks." He said as he ran out of the shop with the item in his hand. Drake checked his watch and saw that it was six o'clock. Drake didn't feel like heading back to the tower just yet. He went around the city and got a hamburger to eat. At around eight o'clock he returned to the tower and found no one was there.

"Hello?" Drake said as he looked for any of the titans. "They must have gone to stop a bad guy or something and they couldn't find me." Drake concluded. While waiting for the titans Drake went over what he was going to do when the titans came home. It would be perfect.

Meanwhile the titans were not fighting crime, Terra and Beastboy were on their date and the other titans were somewhere else.

Terra and Beastboy had just gotten to the restaurant they were going to. It was a really nice place. A pianist and violinist were playing on a platform. Terra noticed how much Beastboy's attitude had changed from the previous day. He was so down in the dumps yesterday but now he was cheerful again.

"I see you're feeling better." She said.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Yesterday you seemed so distant but now you're happy." Terra said.

"Well yesterday was a bad day for me." The food came in another ten minutes. They ate slowly because they were caught up in conversation.

"Beastboy when I was trapped in that stone, did you miss me?"

"Of course I did. You know that?" Beastboy said surprised she asked the question.

"Did you visit me a lot?" she asked.

"Terra, is something wrong. You're asking questions you already know the answer to."

"Nothing's wrong." Terra said.

"Okay then." He said as he took a bite of his food. "Gosh this is really good." Terra smiled at Beastboy and then leaned over and kissed him. Beastboy blushed but then kissed back.

Back at Titans Tower Drake was wondering where everyone was. It was almost nine thirty now. Drake went over to the table and picked up his communicator.

"Robin come in." he said into it. There was no answer so he assumed he left it. He tried the other titans but none of them answered. Drake got up to use the bathroom. Once he was out of the room Terra and Beastboy came back.

"That was really fun Beastboy." Terra said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Yeah it really was… and there's more. I have a surprise for you." Beastboy said.

"Really, what is it?" she asked.

"Go to your room and I'll meet you there to tell you." Beastboy said. He would have proposed right there but he wanted to give Terra the roses and he wanted her to see the candles in her room. Beastboy went to his room and picked up the flowers. He went over what he was going to say before he left his room.

While Terra was walking to her room she bumped into Drake.

"Where were you guys?" he asked.

"Out." Terra replied.

"Drake I really have to go to my room right now." She said.

"Give me as second, I want to ask you something." He said.

"Go ahead." Terra replied. Drake got down on one knee and held Terra's hand. Beastboy was walking slowly to Terra's room and before he turned the corner to the hallway where her room was he heard Drake say:

"Terra, will you marry me?"
