The Drewfus- Yeah, we learned that song in French a year ago...a little disturbing but w/e... I shall keep writing! I have a very good idea where this will go. Sometimes I just plan the end, and then see what I have to do in the beginning to get there. It's just easier that way for me :)
Poopy Penguin- Thank you. You will see what happened to Terra later on. Don't worry, I won't keep everyone utterly confused for long!
I got this Ryan Cabrera CD so you're gonna hear a lot of songs by him in here. I'm sorry if you don't like him, but I thought the words to his music fit into the story really well.
So, without further or due, I bring to you:

Chapter 5: Lost
Raven walked into the kitchen with her normal attire, unlike the Boy Wonder who was still in his PJ's. A pair of boxers and a night t-shirt. She observed more closely.
He was slumped down in the booth with his elbows propped up on the table. His head was rested in his hands in a depressed sort of way.
Raven cautiously made her way over to the counter and sat down. Robin didn't even acknowledge her presence. He stared into open space, in either great thought or going nuts. Raven went out on the limb, "What's beating you?"
Robin slowly rose his head up to Raven's eye level and sighed, "Got into a fight about you know what with you know who."
"Oh, God."
"Yea, I know... I can't believe that I said she was stupid."
"Well she was wasn't she? Giving up a home and friends for power? Sounds stupid to me..."
Robin shook his head, "You don't even know half of it..."
----
Lost and then found oh how I know you're around
Beast Boy was restlessly waiting for Terra to perform. I mean c'mon! You'd really like to see somebody that you love after a year, too!
The lights dimmed, 'This is it.' Beast Boy perked up in his chair.
The announcer announced the performer, "I bring to you, 'Anonymous'!"
Once again, BB could see a shadowed silhouette sitting on a stool on stage. He began to get more excited by the minute and had to fight the urge to scream out her name.
I can't help but to look in the clouds,
If I had to guess as to where you would be,
A low harmony set in. Drifting along the audience, setting the mood that was peaceful, but weary.
"Through the mist
And the rain
Through the destruction
And smoke
There came a raven;
There came Hope.
The raven's wings expanded
To their full flight
It sailed off gracefully;
Black as night.
It was a sign
To soar through the hate
It was a sign that Hope
Can still chime.
It soared off into the land
Might never be seen again.
So extend your wings
Take a leap
Don't look down
And fly
High."
The harmony ended, the tone still wavering in the air. The clapping began once more. But, it seemed that Terra was just so grateful that they liked her. She beamed, her eyes shining as the lights turned on. She whispered into the mike, "Thank you."
She turned her head to Beast Boy.
It's looking out over me
I never thought that moment would come
When I'd have to look out my window alone
His heart fluttered, as he gave his trademark smile. It was then that the cerulean and emerald orbs met for the first time in 365 days.
Now I'm watching the stars and still hoping to see
The day when you will come back to me

Starfire and Cy entered the kitchen, "Hey y'all! You guys ready for..my..? Um...what's with the frowns?"
Worry flashed in Star's eyes, "Is there something wrong? Where is Beast Boy?"
Robin spoke quietly, "Yes and no. Beast Boy went to the Alouetté."
Cy slapped his hand to his forehead and quietly uttered, "Aw, man.."
Starfire's bubbly atmosphere went down tremendously, "Oh no. Beast Boy will be so hurt. Is there anything that we can do to prevent this?"
Raven shook her head, "No, he left 15 minutes ago. He's probably talking to this person right now."
Everyone sighed and Star and Cy sat down beside Raven and Robin. Cy quietly asked, "Anyone want waffles?" Everyone shook their heads.

Beast Boy was going down the long, dimmed hallway. It's wall, purple and bottom wood, a honey brown. It was welcoming at least. Butterflies were flying in whirlwinds inside BB. He was going to see Terra... Terra!
And everything that you thought was fine
Has turned it's back into more than time
He saw a door on his right that said in bold, black letters on the wood door, 'Backstage'. He sighed and quietly opened it.
'I'm here Terra, I'm here.'
Back stage was nothing he would imagined. There was old wood floors with old plaster walls. He could see the purple, velvet curtains to his far right. In front of him were racks of guitars, music, and other instruments. On his left, wooden crates were acting like chairs. No one was in there but he could tell. He looked around a little and then saw a figure in the far left corner, sitting on a crate. It was just her and BB.
You said to me that it's alright...
He quietly and wearily walked over to her, trying not creak the floorboards. When he was right behind her, he saw her looking through an envelope of money. There was only about $20 in there. He looked at her long ebony hair.
Beast Boy wondered how it got that way, but shook it off for now. It was long though, 'Just like yesterday..' BB reached out a gloved hand and put it on her shoulder.
The girl gasped and turned around sharply. "Whoa, it's okay.."
...You can't find yourself today
Her blue orbs were glazed with fear. But still, Terra was beautiful as ever. Beast Boy gawked for a moment until reality checked in... It was Terra! Right here!
Beast Boy burst out into a big smile and put his arms out over his head, showing his relief and surprise,
"Terra!"
"Huh?" Terra looked a little perplexed.
Beast Boy still carried on about her, "Terra! Oh my god, Terra, it's really you!" Beast Boy couldn't help it, he embraced Terra in his arms, but..Terra didn't hug back, she pushed him away.
Lost and then found oh how I live for that day
Some call me crazy for thinking this way
"Who are you?"
Beast Boy let out a chuckle, not noticing Terra's fear.
"Terra, it's me, Beast Boy!"
Terra got up and backed away, "Stop...calling me that okay?"
Now Beast Boy was the one confused, "What? But that's your name." Beast Boy inched closer.
My life seems so empty, it's rained for awhile
Your eyes still glow, How I love your smile
Terra backed away more shaking her head, eyes still wide, "No, no it's not. That's not my name. I don't know what my name is! I don't even know who I am!!
And everything that you thought was fine
Has turned it's back into more than time
Beast Boy stood there, wide-eyed also, "Terra..you're...Terra."
"No. I'm not."
You said to me that it's alright,
You can't find yourself today
Beast Boy came closer to her as he put his hands out in front of him, palms out, signaling confusion and disbelief.
"Don't you remember what happened? You went to Slade and then turned against him... I..We..lost you. You sacrificed your life for us and the town.. Don't you even know who I am?"
I Will
Terra began to get frantic, "No! I don't!"
Her eyes were full of fear, "Ok, 'Beast boy' there are a lot of things I don't need. But you coming in here and telling me who I am and what my life is like is something I really don't need!!!"
Do you ever wonder if we were not friends?
I know it's hard to ponder,
but there's reasons for that,
I can't go on without you,
its burning inside of my head,
And I feel so alone without you,
Now I can't survive, it must be your eyes,
Beast Boy felt his heart sink, "You...really...don't remember me?"
"No! I don't!" Terra's eyes started to tear, "I-I think you should go now..."
I will not take that road again
I will not try to find out those things in my head
I will not take that road
Even if I keep my head above the ground
Beast Boy's heart raced, she had to remember him! He had to remind her! "But Terra, I-"
Which you know I will
Terra balled her fists, eyes still fearful, "-Stop! Stop calling me Terra!"
Tears welled up in Beast Boy's eyes, "But-"
"GET OUT!"
Tears were streaming down his face now, "Please, don't-"
"Get out!" Tears were streaming down Terra's face also, "Please.."
Don't you ever wonder what things would be like?
well I know I can't give you everything
but wouldn't that just be nice,
Beast boy backed away from Terra to the door. BB opened it unwillingly. He gave her a last, painful look as he quietly closed it with a click.
I've tried now people can't you see?
Terra collapse down onto a crate with a great sigh. It was all too much.
If I'm blind now and, if all of this was a dream
Outside, Beast Boy had closed the door and slid down it with a great sigh. He put his elbows in his lap and each hand on the side of his head, crumpling his hair. He closed his eyes. The tears flowed and never stopped.
At least it was a dream about you

Awww...poor BB! Gets better in the next few chapters... Juicy, Juicy! The song used for this chapter was 'Lost Again'. I thought it fit well with it, no? I didn't write one of the chorus repeats cause it was too long and you've heard it twice already.
Well, I'm going to bed. Need to sleep.
Please read and review :)
