We'll start with responses to my readers!! Yay!!

DelofDani: The reason Merlina was so surprised to see Terra in her statue form was because it was one thing to dream about it; it was different, more real, to see her in person (or whatever). If you recognize something you've dreamed about, it's pretty cool. ;) You're not missing anything, and you're NOT STUPID! (Ahem) You're cool! Please keep reviewing!

ACLDSMAB: I know just how you feel. My computer/internet spazzes on me, too. (blush) Thanks for sticking with me alongside DelofDani and now Nightbolts 101! Woo! I'm flattered to be told about! Please tell me who told you, and I will thank them personally in the next chap!! :D You don't really have to tell me any secrets about yourself, but if you feel strongly about it, I'll keep my lip zipped! (Zips my lip) Gosh! Do my stories really mean that much? (Blush) This is just something I do as a hobby! My mom always says what a "good writer" she thinks I am, but I never dreamed of getting the positive feedback I'm getting from y'all!! (Cries with joy) You like me! You really like me! (ahem) Anyway, please keep reviewing!

Nightbolts 101: ROCK ON!! You're one of my favorite writers! I'm so glad to be reviewed by you! I don't know if I'm too good, but I really love being an author!!! And I probably will be for years and years!!! I hope. I am hoping to obtain more reviewers; I guess since it's so early, but hey; this is kind of a long story, so yeah. Hee, hee! BTW, I love your fics, especially the baby Titans!! I thought baby Slade in the freezer was a bit inhumane, but if it works... Anyway, please continue to read and review!!

Chapter 7: Reaching Terra
(This one's going to be a little short, but my timing is my own. bows ).Once the two Roses got underground, they shook the snow off themselves and out of their hair. Lina sneezed and made a fire on the tip of her wand. It was enough to warm them both, and it did. Daniel looked at his watch: 1:15, it said. It was now an hour and 15 minutes into Christmas Eve. By now, everyone else was still abed, dreaming sweet dreams without care.

Urging him forward, his sister led him through the mass of rubble and aftermath of Terra's last battle. They knew everything that had happened from their friends, so they weren't surprised (entirely) to see the debris of that grim battle. (A/N: Originally, I was going to have them come across Slade's burnt mask and have Daniel crush it into dust...before I saw "Haunted". Moving on!) Merlina led him on until they reached where Terra stood in silence, her feet strewn with roses.

Daniel was humbled. Now he'd seen Terra; not only that, he also knew that Beast Boy had been stealing Lina's flowers. He could sense his essence on them, which would have been funny in less solemn circumstances.

Daniel stared up intently into Terra's face, searching for contact, trying to see if she was still in there under the rock. When he sensed her, he stood up on the stand and took hold of the sides of her head with both of his hands.

As he concentrated on her, his eyes fixed into her stone ones, his pupils shrank as his irises turned a color combo of pink and lavender behind a silver mist, and swirled out of focus as he mentally searched for her within her stone prison.

Pretty cool, huh? Keep reviewing, and I'll keep posting! You guys all rock!!!
