Poopy Penguin- Yea. A lot of people don't know how to write it. I'm not saying I do but I am trying my best to have them in character.
Anavrin 14- Heh, thanks. Don't worry, I'll go easy on them
YojimbosBlade- THANKS!
Fallen Angel X- Wow, thank you. No one's ever said my work is a "Work Of Art".
The Drewfus- If it's really hard to comprehend Terra's paleness and black hair, then she's not pale anymore. She got some sun ;) I did always think Rae/BB would make a good couple... I don't see why other people don't. It's not like Raven can't have ANY feelings...
Rhys Davies- Thank you. I'm glad that the 'with a twist' joke wasn't that bad. I will update as soon as I can. Unlike some people...
teentitantruefriend- Thanks. I thought the kiss was nice... but if you do not like that kinda stuff or think it's gross, I recommend that you DO NOT read this chapter...
The song for this chapter is 'Exit To Exit' . The words fit in so perfectly with the story it's scary :o!
Oh and this chapter has some, um..... sexual content... so if you don't like that kind of stuff, don't read. (Hint Hint: the rating went up to PG-13... I keep my promises ;) )
And I don't want flames dissing the Rae/BB relationship. Be it as it may!
Enjoy!

Chapter 8: From Black To Gold
Was it the little things I left unsaid?
The thoughts are wrapped my head in love, in life..
She could feel his warm skin brush against her cheek and her neck. It sent tingles down her spine. She could sense the deep pleasure and happiness fizzing all over him. It was described as Love. Raven knew it was, for she could feel the relaxation, calmness and happiness too.
Could it be our time was incomplete?
Someone that's just bent to need enough inside
Beast Boy playfully nipped Raven's lip, leaving a little mark. Was this Love? The thing he had been waiting for so long for? The thing that he wanted...with Terra?
He felt Raven passionately kiss him on the neck. But Terra didn't give him that. She gave him pain. 'Stop thinking about that. Why can't you think about the positives?' His mind interrupted, 'Because she didn't leave enough.'
Why did he feel this way towards Raven? Was this who he was supposed to be with?
And I've lost my direction
Where do I turn?
Raven's thoughts were jumbled. She wasn't supposed to be with anyone and he was supposed to be with Terra...right? Raven felt the warm sensation from BB's hands on her back, gripping at her skin. She moaned softly.
You wanted something more than this
Fell down for someone else's kiss
Beast Boy gently nuzzled Raven's neck. It was so confusing. Part of his mind screamed 'What are you doing?! Go to Terra!' And part of his heart screamed, 'Raven's love will bring you happiness that Terra can no longer fulfill.'
BB nipped Raven's neck leaving a bruised mark.
I'm lost without your light
So I drive, I don't know why
But I drive
From Exit to Exit
Raven ran her fingers through his hair, loving the warmth it gave them. Was it meant to be? Or was it a fling that would die no sooner had it begun? Raven put a hand to BB's bare chest and kissed his neck over and over again, teasing him. She returned to his lushing lips and kissed strongly.
Beast Boy parted from Raven's kiss and slowly opened his eyes and looked into the purple orbs. He smiled as he grabbed her hand and laced their fingers together. It seemed that they fit perfectly. He kissed them and held on. Raven slowly smiled. Beast Boy could feel a rush of joy for completing his long-awaited task.
Could it be the taste was bittersweet
Well it all comes down to your defeat
So high, so low
The couple was in Raven's room on top of her bed, side by side. Raven was dressed in a thin shirt and shorts while BB had his shirt off, only dressed in his boxers. (A/N: no nudity for light-hearted folks! :) )
BB moved his thumb side to side on Raven's pale, slender hand. Raven squeezed his hand tighter. They sat there, silent, enjoying one's company.
Crash and burn we all fall down
And I can still hear the sound of love, run dry
What had sparked them to do this, they did not know. It just seemed right for some reason.
I've lost my connection
What have I learned?
It just seemed right...
-----
' Do you trust me?'
' More than anyone I've ever met.'
'You saved me..'
' Yeah, that was cool'
'Beast Boy, It's...I don't know what to say!'
'You said you'd be my friend no matter what, remember?'
'Remember?'
'Remember..?'
'Remember...?'
Terra gasped as she awoke in a cold sweat. ' It seemed so real..' The dream had been so real. She could see the girl from the picture smile, laugh with the green boy beside her. The last scene felt so real that she could feel the intensity, the hurt. The echoing 'Remember..?''s was more than she could handle. Someone trying to tell her something. She knew who it was. The boy. The green boy...'Beast Boy'. Terra gasped once more. She paused, searching through her mind.
' And Raven..Starfire....Robin and..Cyborg...' Her eyes glowed a bright yellow for a milii-second. She somehow was connected to these names. 'This is so weird.. It should be on the Twilight Zone..'
Terra got up from her bed. There was no way she could sleep now, especially with that orange and black mask haunting her. Terra looked at the clothes that had been in Beast Boy's boxes. She debated to put them on or not. Terra walked over and slipped off her pajamas and put on the black t-shirt and yellow shorts. She walked over to the closet and pulled out a black hoodie. It was a cold night.
Terra tip-toed down the wooden stairs, trying not to wake Mrs. Délia up. She walked into the kitchen and went to the door. Terra took one last look at the house and went out the door. The night's cool air nipped at Terra's skin as the wind subsided. She walked along the street, not knowing where she was going.
You wanted something more than this
Fell down for someone else's kiss
I'm lost without your light, so I drive
I don't know why
Terra passed baking shops, corner stores and a mall. It seemed each one's window reflected the girl. The golden, blonde hair. But, it seemed she was frowning, not knowing where she belonged. Terra frowned with her for she too, didn't know where to go or what to do.
But I drive
From Exit to Exit
She continued walking down the gray pavement. It seemed to go on forever. Terra sighed as she looked down to see it's cracks go by. There were surprisingly no cars, no people. It felt like she was the only one in the world tonight. The only one...alone.
Some day I won't be lost...
Terra lifted her eyes to see the bay. Farther off was a tower shaped as a T. It was glowing brightly in the October night sky. It seemed to call out to her. She could almost hear the words 'Come home..'
Inside Terra, something snapped, clicked, fit. Home. She raced to the harbor, wondering if ferries ran this late at night. Terra ran down the hill and saw a boat..a ferry. Tonight they did.
Someday I won't miss you...
Terra got on and sailed off. Off to the beacon of the night sky. 'I'm coming guys, whoever's there. I'm home...'

"How did this happen?"
Raven held a dazed look on her face, staring off into the distance as BB was trying to find his shirt and pants. "How did this happen?" Raven repeated the question.
"I don't know...it just..seemed right. Did you feel that way too?"
Raven pondered for a moment and then sighed, "Yea, yea I did." Beast Boy found his shirt under the bed and continued his search for his pants. Raven blinked her eyes.
"Was this supposed to happen?" "I-I think it was.."
"But.." Raven tried to find her words, "But what about...Terra?"
Beast Boy sat down on the bed next to her, looking in her eyes then at the quilt, "I-I don't know. Everything's confusing. I just keep thinking that I'm abandoning her..Terra. It's like, a part of me is saying, 'What are you doing with Raven!? What about Terra? She's your only one!'" Beast Boy turned to the Gothic Beauty, "But then there's this other guy.. It says that you are the only one. You are right here..and you can make me happy, you can actually..love me.." Raven blushed.
She cast her eyes down and quietly spoke, "Which one do you listen to?"
"Both I guess. But the second guys' got a point..." He grabbed both of Raven's hands in his. Raven looked into his eyes, "You are here, right here. You..you make me happy and I think..I think I'm.."
Raven whispered, trying not to ruin the moment, "What?"
Beast Boy's eyes welled up with tears, "I think I'm..falling in love with you.." Raven's eyes filled up also, as a window cracked slightly.
"And-and I know that it couldn't work out..with you and your powers.. But I can't help it.." Raven felt his hands squeeze hers.Raven squeezed back.
"We..we can work something out.."
Beast Boy whispered quietly, "Really?" Raven nodded, smiling softly. Beast Boy smiled too but then it faltered. Raven noticed. "But.."
Raven repeated his words, "But..."
"...There's Terra." Raven nodded slowly, eyes down once again, not wanting Beast Boy to see her tears.
Someday I'll understand...
"Raven," Raven looked up with an emotionless face, trying to keep her composure, "I understand
"No Raven I...I just don't know what to do...I-I need to think about this, ok?"
Raven nodded, understanding Beast Boy's predicament, "Take as much time as you want."
Beast Boy smiled, "Thanks Rae." He leaned over and kissed her. Raven relished every moment. She tried to remember the sensation because it could be her last. Beast Boy softly whispered in her ear, "It's you." Raven shuddered at his warm breath on her neck.
Beast Boy got up and walked to the door. Raven realized something, "Beast Boy, what about your pants?"
Beast Boy lowered his eyelids seductively, "Keep them as a souvenir.."
"Couldn't find them, could you?"
"...No."
-----
Beast Boy had went into his room and changed into new clothes, including pants. He went up to the roof to think. Beast Boy sat there on the roof in the cold night.
Nothing was making sense! Nothing! He was supposed to be with Terra! Not Raven! What had happened?
Beast Boy sighed angrily and covered his face with his hands.
But for now you're taking over me!
"This wasn't supposed to happen..."
-----
Terra stepped on the soft dirt. The sense of belonging filled her, warming her. She knew she was supposed to be here.
Terra walked up to the steel metal door. She put her hand to it and dragged it down, feeling the texture, the coldness. "Titans..."
She saw a keypad to her right. 'That's how I get in..' Her fingers seemed to have a mind of her own as they flew over the numbers and letters. As Terra's fingers pressed the keys, she said the numbers and letters aloud, almost in a trance..
"TERRA 143576..." The door magically swished open to reveal the inside. "Titans..Tower..."
Terra walked into the darkness of the tower. She saw a couch, a huge video game system, and a kitchen off to the left. Terra walked over to the video system. She traced her hand over a video game controller, "Cyborg.." She whispered the name, in a trance once more.
Terra walked over into the kitchen. A big metal pot that was black on the top, burnt from an explosion. "S-Starfire.." Terra looked over to a news clipping. It had a picture of a man labeled as Brother Blood. "Robin..."
Terra walked out of the kitchen and into a hallway that stretched for miles. Their was doors of purple, orange, red, blue and green. Each one was labeled of Raven, Starfire, Robin, Cyborg and...Beast Boy.
Terra thought the hallway had ended, but she was wrong...
Terra looked at the last door and gasped. She reached out her shaky hand and traced the letters "T-E-R-R-A...Terra..." Something in Terra's mind finally fit together, the puzzle had been completed.
"Terra......m-me..Terra is..me.." Terra's eyes filled with tears as she collapsed on the floor with sobs. "Oh my God..." Terra's voice shook and wavered from her crying. It was her..Terra was her.
I've lost my direction
Where do I turn?
Memories flashed by Terra...her memories, her long forgotten memories! The lava, the tears, the sacrifice...stone. Her mind began churning once more. Terra's eyes glowed a bright yellow once more and stayed. "I-I'm a..a Teen Titan..."
You wanted something more than this
Fell down for someone else's kiss
Terra's eyes lost their glow as cerulean eyes replaced them. "Beast Boy...He was telling the truth! I was frozen to stone..in time..oh my God.."
Terra got up and ran to where her first instinct told her to go. The roof.
Terra got up to the last stair and stood there in front of the door. What would she see? What will she remember? Will the missing piece finally be restored? There was only one way to find out.
Terra sighed and opened the door. She had to suppress a sob at the sight. She whispered so only she could hear herself, "Beast Boy."
I'm lost without your light so I drive, I don't know why!
Beast Boy was still covering his face with his hands, silent tears of confusion sliding down his cheeks. Terra couldn't hold it in any longer. The tears silently streamed down her face showing no signs of stopping.
She could her Beast Boy say to himself, "Why? Why can't she remember?"
Terra swallowed her tears. This was it.
Terra whispered loud enough for the boy to hear, "I remember..."
Beast Boy whirled around. There she was. Terra. A smile formed on his face so big that it didn't fit. He slowly got up and walked over to her.
Terra watched, her eyes scrunched up in tears, wet marks on her face, sniffing.
Beast Boy finally was 2 feet away from her. He couldn't keep it in anymore either. He embraced Terra, tightening his arms around her, never wanting to let her go. The loudest his voice ever got was to a whisper, "You remember.." Terra slowly put her arms around him also. A rush of memories flew to her.
Terra scrunched up into a ball inside of the furious rock tornado. Fear was creeping in, the tears running down her face. No one understood. No one. Suddenly, a hand grasped her arm and turned her around in mid-air. It was him. Beast Boy. She blinked as the glow of her eyes disappeared. Beast Boy was reaching out for her other hand. Terra reached out and they held on. He pulled her close, "It's okay Terra! I'm here," Terra closed her eyes and leaned into him. She could hear a last sentence come from him, "I'm here.." It dawned on her that he did understand. He did..
Terra embraced BB tightly also as she whispered quietly, closing her eyes, "I remember...I'm here.."
They stood there, embracing each other tightly, afraid to let go or they'll fall. Both were crying but not sadly, it was tears of joy. They were reunited again. Again.
Beast Boy mumbled into Terra's black hair, "You're never leaving me again...never.."
He pulled back a bit to see into Terra's eyes. She opened them, they were red and teary. Beast Boy rubbed her back soothingly, "How? How did you come back?"
Terra smiled, "When you want something so bad, miracles can happen." BB smiled too, "I believe that.." He picked up a strand of Terra's hair in awe. Terra looked at it and gasped. Blonde! It was becoming blonde once more! "You're back... you really are.."
Terra flinched, "Well, not really. I don't know everything still. There are pieces and chunks of memory missing.. Like, I have a dream that we are on a Ferris Wheel and I'm trying to tell you something.. I can't hear what you reply back to Ter- me. We then lean in and then, the dream ends..." Terra's eyes met Beast Boy's, "Can you tell me what happens?"
Beast Boy smiled softly, "I'd be glad to."
But I drive...
He gently held Terra's face in his hands. BB leaned in and closed his eyes as he passionately kissed the kiss that was forgotten so long ago...
Unbeknownst to them, Raven was in the doorway.
From Exit to Exit
Tears filled up her eyes as she turned away angrily yet so very hurt.
Through the destruction and smoke..
--------------
A/N: I just love Love Triangles! The memory that Terra was talking about was when she and BB were on the Ferris wheel and were about to kiss, incase some of you couldn't remember.
Yes, I know there is sexual content. Please don't review saying it's gross, disgusting, blah blah blah... I told you from the beginning that the rating would go up. What did you expect?
Don't think the story's over because it's just begun! Please Read and Review. :)
