Chapter Two: Three Days Later

Three days passed after the brief fight with Mad Mod. The atmosphere in Titan's Tower had finally returned to normal. Beast Boy was up early again to make breakfast, and Starfire's contagious smile had returned. It seemed that the pain of losing Terra had almost completely faded away.

After breakfast, the Titans got together and headed for the cave where Terra remained frozen in stone. Beast Boy did his best to hide the way he felt inside, but as the team made their way down the tunnel into the cavern. He knew he wouldn't last long after his eyes fell on Terra's lifeless form. The five Titans stood together in the cave.

Raven's voice broke the silence, "We'll be searching for a way to reverse the effect."

Robin looked sideways at Beast Boy, "We'll bring her back…"

"Someday…" Cyborg said finishing the thought.

Beast Boy stepped forward and placed a plaque at Terra's feet.

Terra

A Teen Titan

A True Friend

Beast Boy's eyes started to water as he looked up at Terra's face, "I'll never forget you Terra…"

One by one the Titan's left the cave and headed for the surface. Beast Boy stayed behind staring at his helpless friend. He buried his face in his hands and started to cry. "I'm sorry I ever doubted you," He said through his tears. "I shouldn't have turned my back…" He dropped to his knees and started sobbing, "It's my fault, Terra, I'm sorry…" He trailed off as he continued to cry uncontrollably. Raven still stood in the entrance to the cave. She felt her eyes start to water as she watched her friend. "Concentrate, Raven," She thought. She blinked and pushed back the tears.

She looked behind her to make sure the others had left the cave, then slowly walked over to Beast Boy and knelt down beside him. Raven gently placed a hand on his shoulder. Beast Boy looked up and forced a smile as he looked into Raven's eyes, but it faded quickly as he started to speak, "It's not fair," he said, tears still streaming down his cheeks, "She didn't deserve this." Raven watched him sympathetically.

Suddenly, Beast Boy reached out and wrapped his arms around Raven. Her eyes shot wide open. She was about to push him off of her, but thought better of it. As uncomfortable as she felt at that moment, she couldn't allow herself to turn him away. "He needs this," she thought as she sat there and listened to him cry.


When Raven and Beast Boy walked out of the cave, they were greeted by a massive grin from Cyborg. Raven glared at him with an expression that screamed "Say a word and I'll send you to another dimension." Cyborg wiped the smile away almost instantly. He climbed into the T-Car and Raven and Beast Boy followed suit.

As soon as they were back on the road, Cyborg switched on the radio and a familiar tune came in through the speakers.

"I made a wish on a shooting star once, but it's been so long. Never did believe it 'til you showed up there and proved me wrong. Everyone is here, and they're all cheerin' the end of another day.

It's Friday night everyone's asleep, and now we're walkin' home. Our shadows grow underneath the streetlights 'til their overgrown. The perfect end to a perfect night, and I feel so alright.

One, she makes me feel not too much like anything. That's three times more than I've ever felt before. And it's one AM and I'm too sucked in cause it's three days later. I can't stop thinkin' about you."

Out of the corner of her eye, Raven caught the look on Beast Boy's face. He loved this song, and any other day he would have been singing along, off key as usual, but not today. Her hand glowed black for a second, and then the radio switched off.

Cyborg spoke up suddenly realizing what just happened, "Dude, Raven, why'd you do that?"

Raven stared ahead blankly, "I don't like that song."

Cyborg glared at her, "You could have asked me to turn it off."

Hereached over and turned the radio back on.

"I met a girl named Terra, and she lived in the heart of America…"

He turned it back off quickly and laughed nervously, "Heh, maybe not the best time for that song…" The five Titans spent the rest of the trip home in silence. Beast Boy stared out the window ignoring the world around him. He couldn't stop thinking about Terra.

He thought about what Robin had said back in the cave. "Can we really bring her back," he thought. It seemed hopeless to him. As far as he was concerned, Terra was frozen in stone, and that was it, and even though, deep down, he hoped there was a chance that maybe they could save her, Beast Boy knew he would never be that lucky.


When they arrived at the Tower, Beast Boy left his friends behind and went up to his room. He was starting to get over losing Terra, but seeing her again brought back all the pain from the last three days. "Only three days," he thought. "Feels like an eternity." He slumped onto his bed and stared at the picture on his nightstand, he and Terra were standing together at the carnival. "What I wouldn't give to have that back…"
"I'm worried about Beast Boy," Robin said, flipping through the channels on TV. Cyborg nodded, "He's acting like…like…Raven."

Raven glared at him, "Sometimes it's nice to be alone!" She stood up and left for her room.

Cyborg grinned, "At least Raven's acting normal."

Starfire giggled softly. "Tomorrow is the Tamaranian festival of Blorthog! Perhaps this will cheer up our friend!"

Robin shook his head, "I don't think Beast Boy is in the mood for celebrations Star…"

Starfire frowned, then brightened up as she spoke again, "But still we shall celebrate…yes?"

Robin and Cyborg exchanged glances. "Yeah," Robin said, "I think the rest of us could use it."


Raven's room was dark, and she sat on her bed in silence. She could still see Beast Boy curled up at Terra's feet. Going back to the cave had reopened wounds that were finally beginning to heal. She listened closely and could hear Beast Boy's radio playing through the wall:

"It's been a while since we said hi. Three hundred sixty-five days have gone by now, and I can paint a picture of you…I can paint a picture of you. I see you every time I pass your locker. Remember the time we talked to six AM, and I'm tired of missin you…Six AM and I'm tired of missin you…"

For the fourth consecutive night, Raven listened to Beast Boy cry himself to sleep.


End Chapter TwoYeah, just like last time, please point out all my flaws...I'm mainly writing this because I need to prctice making people speak in character in my writing, and the Titans have a good mix of styles...so this should help a lot
