"Guys, time to go!" Mikanna called up the stairs of her two story ranch house just outside Jump City. It was 20 years later. Two children leapt down the stairs three at a time. The elder, a girl with brown braids down her back, had on a blue dress with black ribbon on the skirt part of it, she had matching black ribbons in her hair. Her brother had on a suit with a black tie which matched the rest of the suit and his hair.
"Mommy why is my name weird?" Asked the little boy tugging on his mother's skirt. Mikanna grabbed her son's hand and her daughter's as she led them to their van.
"You're named after my first boyfriend Garfield. She said helping the eight and four year olds get buckled up. "He was a nice guy and I knew him for a little less than a year." Mikanna buckled herself up and turned slightly. "You got Grammy and Grampy's Christmas presents?" The children nodded and Mikanna drove into Jump City. Mikanna smiled remembering all the bad guys she had helped BeastBoy and the other titans beat before-
"Mommy stop!" The little girl yelled, Mikanna slammed on the brakes and the little girl leapt from the van into the middle of traffic. She ran in front of the van and stopped cocking her head; the child got on her hands and knees and looked under the van.
"Mika! Get in here now young lady." Mikanna yelled grabbing the girl off the ground and carefully put her back in the van.
"But Mommy I saw a boy in the road." Said Mika buckling herself in as Mikanna got herself situated. "He was a big kid with weird skin and funny clothes." Mikanna drove the van beside the curb and parked. "The big kid had weird green skin and he was dressed funny Mommy." She told her mother as Mikanna got Garfield out of his seat.
"Honey the only person like that who ever lived around here dies 20 years ago in that tower." Mikanna said pointing to Titan's Tower.
"Are we gonna visit aunty Starfire and Uncle Robin this year?" Asked the little boy. Mikanna nodded. "What about Aunty Raven and Uncle Cyborg?" Mikanna nodded again.
"Kids time to visit somebody new this year, I haven't seen him in a long time." Mikanna held her children's hands and guided them through the cemetery she had pulled over by. It didn't take long; the large grave marker seemed to laugh at them like he did so much before-
"God rest your soul." Mika said looking right at the color picture of BeastBoy on the bottom by the words: "She loved you since you met her and you ripped out her heart." Someone had paid someone to do it. "Mommy that's the boy I saw in the road." Mika said pointing at the portrait.
"Impossible, he was only in his teens when he died, 20 years ago." Mikanna said weakly spotting something taped to the grave marker. Pulling it off she read it aloud.
"'If you're reading this Mikanna I'm sorry, I know I should have never got sick but well, I had a tendency to get deadly illnesses when I was a toddler and now I do again. Ha ha, I wish I could be with you now instead of lying what, six feet underground? You probably left the titans didn't you, I had a feeling you would. Anyway, how's everything? Might have taken a while for someone to find this letter oh well. I loved you and as I write this I cry from pain and sorrow about dying. I loved you and you loved me, BeastBoy.'" Mikanna read it to herself again twice before Mika handed her something.
"It fell down." Was all the child said gently. Mikanna looked and tears filled her eyes. It was her special necklace.
"Let's go see Grammy and Grampy then all the aunties and Uncles." Mikanna said ushering her children ahead of her. Before she left the grave she smiled. "I never gave up, I kept my promise, Garfield Mark Logan." Mikanna ran to catch up with her children happily and they drove from the cemetery slowly.
In a tree Gar's spirit sat waving to the children who waved back, he liked visiting Mikanna on Christmas, he'd been doing it or 20 years and every time he left her a gift to remember him by. "Merry Christmas Mikanna." He said before going back to his heaven and his family.
