WOW! People actually reviewed!! I'm so happy! (does weird/freaky victory dance) NE Wayz…some reviewer responses
To NNY273000 : I put myself in the story without even knowing it, it's just a habit when I did stories with my other friends. But I like being in them cuz it just makes it easier, most likely because all of my stories in my head start out with me in them. And I can't do special characters because I have STUPID WINDOWS XP!! I miss the days of the .doc and Microsoft Word! (cries) I have to put these stories in Notepad and that's why I have parentheses instead of asterisks for actions.
To Elucidation : Haha, I was just trying to make up a title before my mom came downstairs and saw what I was doing. Yeah, my mom doesn't like me making up stories because she thinks something is "wrong" with you. Why I would think up stories for unreal people when I could "talk and play" with my REAL friends is beyond her.
Also, I'm basing this on the episode "Betrayal" which has yet to come out in the U.S. um, did I write that in the summary (checks) oh, hehe (nervously laughs) I did…
Well, here goes.

"What bothers you more?" I gently asked Beastboy as he tried to stop his sobs. "That she's crying or she's not happy, or even just the fact that she's betrayed you guys and joined Slade? You've got a lot of choices."
"It's all of those", his voice answered, trying not to crack. He hurled a punch at the pillow on the sofa as I waited for him to continue.
If she could see you now I thought, but she can't.
"Tell me again, what scares you more?" I quietly asked.
I could see him thinking hard about this question. "That it's not right" he finally answered.
"She's happy."
"HOW!? HOW?! YOU TELL ME!" he screamed out and flung the pillow at me, missing though.
"Tell you? I'm not her." I knew this was a stupid answer, but if he wanted the truth the only source would be Terra herself.
"Well, you seem to know more than enough," he replied, slowly searching in my face for an answer. His anger had ebbed away and now he knew what he wanted.
I thought long and hard. These sorts of subjects are murky water and extremely dangerous. One false word and he's going to pounce on me as a tiger or he'll end up sobbing again. First, I'm going to have to decide what is happy.
"You make jokes…right?" I finally said.
"What?" He seemed taken aback.
" You make people laugh. Although she hardly shows it, even Raven thinks you're funny."
"AND?" he said, looking extremely frustrated.
"Well, why do you make jokes?" I was choosing my words wisely.
"Wh-what?" he sputtered out. "Well…I …don't know."
I couldn't help but laugh a little. "You can't read your own feelings?"
"What? I do," he answered back, looking affronted.
"Then answer me."
"Ok…well, I think that…that I like making people laugh," he said, smiling.
"Oh? And what kind of mood do you need to be in to joke around?" I quickly replied, hoping that I was on the right track.
"Well, I've seen you laugh and joke around at desperate times," he said thoughtfully.
I gently laughed. "You know me well."
"But, I guess the real reason was that I was happy."
"Aha! Therein lies the answer. You were HAPPY."
Beastboy looked more confused than ever. "Uh, yeah…duh"
I breathed in deeply and hoped I wasn't getting into more than I could handle. "Listen, please."
But I could tell that he was getting more than fed up. I prayed quickly that he wouldn't turn into something that could maul me.
"Where is this going?" he finally struggled out.
I rolled my eyes. "Patience, BB, patience."
"Are you quoting Sl-?"
"Hush, I'm answering your question of why Terra cries but is still happy." This was going to be a hard speech to listen to for him. "Now, the quality of being happy is inside your heart and mind. If you aren't happy inside, you won't feel like acting happy or even trying to pretend that you're happy."
Beastboy knew this definition well. "Yeah, she's not happy! She cries every time I get the chance to even see her."
"Maybe she's happy that she's crying"
He slowly turned and stared at me. "Now I know you're whack."
I disregarded the comment, as it would seem that way to me too if I didn't know the whole truth.
"Look, when you keep your true emotions hidden, how can you be happy? How can you laugh and smile and joke with friends when your insides are writhing in grief and guilt? How? How is that being happy? But how do you feel when you can openly express what you truly feel inside? Just that…release is enough to make anyone jump for joy. I asked you about why you make jokes because I knew you would answer 'because I'm happy'. Each person doesn't always need to be smiling in order to show they're happy. You knew that I joke when it's a sad situation. Some people would think I'm crazy for that."
I looked at him after I did my little speech, hoping for some sort of "Aha! I understand" face.
well, next chapter! What will BB do to me? Maul me? Praise me for answering his questions? Sob again? Hehe, most of this came from being really bored in Drama, so I don't know if it's as nice as if I'd had the time to think. Although I don't really think when I make up these stories. They just come to me and I write them down. R&R on what your opinion is.
