Chapter 5: Nostalgia

(Terra's POV)

I was still sitting on my bed crying…not much time had passed, about 30 minutes. I sighed and coughed and began crying again.

(Raven's POV)

I was sitting in my room staring at a set of pictures that we took at the mall. Beast Boy was a squid and was making a heart with a set of tentacles. The next one was him as a guerilla pounding his chest, I looked very annoyed. The next one it was unusually dark, I could make out that he had turned into a cheetah. The next one he had on his holo-watch, in this one we were hugging, and in the final one we were kissing. "And then…I didn't even appreciate him. And now he's gone." I sighed picking up the frame where Beast Boy and me were outside, it had just started snowing. I set it back down and left the room.

I walked into Terra's room. "Look, just to let you know…I'm going to find Beast Boy…." I said. She looked up. "And you need to stop crying." She glared at me. "At least I can cry…I'm surprised you even know what crying is." She said. "Emotions make you weak." I said. "Well, I don't see how you would know that…seeing as how you don't show it." She said. I sighed and walked downstairs into my room and began to meditate.

(Terra's POV)

I walked into Raven's room. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I'm meditating…what's it look like? I'm trying to suppress my emotions." I stared at her. "HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE AND THROW YOUR EMOTIONS OUT THE WINDOW! DON'T YOU GET IT? BEAST BOY IS GONE…AND YOUR JUST GOING TO TOSS HIM AROUND LIKE ITS NOTHING?" I yelled.

"No wonder he said he didn't like you." She opened her right eye and looked at me. "He said that?" "Well, no…but he said he wasn't sure what he felt about you…he said most of the time you ignore him and don't respect him but then there are times where you can be really sweet." I sighed. "And now he's gone…." Just then the front door opened.

I rushed out and saw Cyborg walking in. "Hey…where's Beast Boy? I need to talk to him." I sighed. "He's gone…." "Well call him, tell him that on his way back to bring me some food I'm hungry." I chuckled. I walked to Beast Boy's room and saw a note on the dresser.

To Whom It May Concern,

Hey…if you're reading this, chances are I'm already out of the state. I just need some time to sort a few things out. Tell Cyborg to buy his own food, and Terra, don't come after me…it'll only make things worse, and don't tell anyone about my absence…let them find out for themselves…. I don't know when I'll be back…or even if I will be back…I wish the best for all of you

Signed,

Beast Boy

I picked up the note and stuffed it into my pocket. I ran out of the room and upstairs.

(Cyborg's POV)

I walked into Beast Boy's room and noticed how empty it was…the only thing that seemed to look normal was his bed. Apparently Beast Boy had left…maybe for good, and he must've done it in a hurry because he's never left his room so unnatural…the drawers were all pulled out…his closet hangers were all over the floor, his CD cases were scattered on the dresser. I walked out and into Raven's room. She was meditating. I walked upstairs and saw Terra standing out on the balcony looking ahead. Everything seemed so dismal; I then walked into my room and sat on the bed.

(Beast Boy's POV)

I stepped off the bus and sat down on a bench and began to think to myself. "What am I going to do…I mean…I have to choose between Raven and Terra. And I don't know what to do. They both are good people but to be honest…I don't know if Raven is right for me…and Terra, she does seem to enjoy my company…. I'm just so confused." I stood up and walked down the street.

(Terra's POV)

I sat down on the balcony staring at the sky nostalgia gnawing at my insides. "Beast Boy…where are you…every time something seems to go right it ends up crashing down…and for some reason I can't get used to it…especially this time, you were the only one to understand me, and you were funny and always had some way to cheer me up." I took the crinkled note out of my pocket and walked to my room and grabbed my diary, a pen and walked back to the balcony. "And if you never come back…at least I'll have this to remember you by." I said slipping the note into the back of the diary.

I sighed and got up. "I'm tired of this…always having to have my dreams come crashing down…but you know what…this is it. I know he said not to go after him but I need to…because, to be honest…I think I love him…." (I know I probably rushed that part…but my mind just went blank) I walked into my room, grabbed a backpack, stuffed the diary in it…2 sets of clean clothes, and headed downstairs. I stood at the door staring back at the house and walked down the street. "I will find you Beast Boy…even it means searching the entire country…I will find you."

(Beast Boy's POV)

I sat down at the beach where Terra and me fell asleep and sighed staring at the sea. I always wondered how deep the sea was…. I threw my bag down and jumped into the water and began to swim down…down…down…letting the water take me. Just then I noticed something…dolphins need air…I gasped. If I tried to transform I would choke from the air loss and I know I wouldn't make it in time if I tried to swim to the surface. Maybe it was better this way…I didn't know what else to do.

Going back to the Titans meant facing Raven…and never going back meant reminiscing about what had happened. "Yeah…it is better this way." I thought. I closed my eyes and waited…nothing happened…I looked up and noticed that I was floating, floating to the surface. I looked down and noticed that a pod of dolphins was carrying me upwards. I reached the surface the air felt good as the wind breezed against my skin. I got out of the water and tried my best to dry off, slung my backpack over my shoulder and continued walking.

(Terra's POV)

I walked to the beach…he wasn't there, but he had been there, I could see the foot tracks…they were leading away from the beach. I sighed. "Where are you…." I continued walking everywhere I went I came up with nothing…I checked the subway, the new café, the museum and no one there had seen him. "Beast Boy, where are you…I want to help." I sighed and continued walking.

(Raven's POV)

I had finished meditating…I stood up and sighed. Beast Boy always wanted the best for me…he wanted me to be happy…and now, I had pushed him away. I sighed and looked at the cracked mirror on my dresser. I walked into the kitchen. Something wasn't right…it wasn't the fact that there was almost nothing to eat or that the house seemed unusually empty…there was something up with me. I had just finished meditating and yet I had an odd feeling, it was tingling my insides. "I can't follow him…if I show any feeling everyone will expect that I've gotten weak." I grabbed the milk carton and a glass from the dishwasher, poured the milk into the glass and began to drink. I needed to meditate some more. I set the glass in the sink and walked back into my room.

(Robin's POV)

I was dangling from a tree along with my half-masked ninja partner…we had finished off the minions but we didn't fare so well against the army tank. "This was your fault." I said. "If you had just let me do this on my own we wouldn't be in this mess right now." I finished. "Don't give me that bullshit." He said. "You know you needed me…." I was fuming. I didn't need help against a tank; I've fought ninja mice stronger than that. I needed something to take out my rage on so I decided to use my accomplice friend as a punching bag, I sent my foot flying so that it connected with his head. "Gah! That hurt!" He yelled.

"Now, now, my two apprentices shouldn't be acting like this…but I'm sure I have something that might calm you two down." Somehow a dim spotlight began to shine on Slade. (Don't you hate it when people do that?) I gasped. There was Starfire hanging over what looked like…"A black hole!" I yelled. "Well, yes…but it is actually called a Quantum Singularity…you don't think a black hole could do this without sucking us all in, do you?" "Yeah…so what's your point?" The ninja said nonchalantly. "You let her go! Do you hear me! LET HER GO!" I yelled.

"Now, now Robin…you don't think I would destroy her without having a little fun now would you?" He smiled, well I couldn't actually tell seeing as how he wears that mask all the time but I know at an occasion like this the villain usually smiles in an odd manner. I stared at him anger fuming inside me…there's not much an upside down teenager can do while staring at his girlfriend about to be annihilated and having the blood rushing to your head. I grunted.

(Beast Boy's POV)

I sat down on the sidewalk staring at the college campus across the street. I sighed as a bunch of couples walked by. I feigned a smile as a couple stared at me. Staring at the now darkening sky I got up and walked back to the beach. "I thought I told you not to follow me." I said staring at the glimmering water. "I thought I would find you here." She said standing at the ramp that led down to the beach. "You expect me to let you sit at home waiting for you to come back like an idiot in a fairy tale?" She continued sounding agitated.

"No…I expect you to accept my requests and to let me figure this out for myself." I said in a calm voice. "Well I can't do that…look, I've lost to many things in my life and I'm not about to add you to that list…and besides. I want to help." I sighed. "There's nothing you can do…this is something I have to do for myself." I said purposefully not looking at her. "Yes, I know that…but just sitting here isn't accomplishing anything…now is it?" She retorted. "Maybe not but at least I don't have to think about the mess that I'm in." She walked down the ramp and towards me.

"Look, whatever it is that seems to be bothering you…I just want you to know that I'm here…and if you ever need me you can call." She sat down next to me laying her head on my shoulder. "But there's one thing I need to know." She said turning her head to face mine. I looked into her eyes. There was something that was troubling her…something that must've been there for a while. The gap between our lips was closing….

(Raven's POV)

I was walking through the forest. This is where Beast Boy had taken me after our first date. He said that there was always a path to walk on even though there was mud everywhere.

:Flashback: "You see how the light glimmers on the ground?" Beast Boy said pointing at the moon to the ground. I nodded. "That is where you should walk…and no matter how muddy it is…you won't get one speck of it on you. And as long as that light is there…I will always love you."

He walked off and I noticed that his boots were unusually clean…it was as if it was all an illusion. I followed him and noticed that the mud seemed to slide away from me…or maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. But no matter how you put it as we left the forest my shoes looked like they never even walked through the forest. :End Flashback:

I stared at the ground noticing that the light was dim in some spots but despite the confusion I still decided to walk through. I began to walk through. "So far so good." I muttered. I continued walking. "Gah!" I had stepped in a puddle of mud. I finally left the forest a little muddy but it wasn't horribly bad. I then noticed to people down at the beach. I squinted to get a closer look. I was on the verge of tears again noticing that it was Terra and Beast Boy kissing. I tried to hold back the tears but they just came down. "I just want you to be happy…." I said walking away.

(Beast Boy's POV)

I got up staring at the ocean…it was completely dark now. "What's wrong?" Terra asked. "You better be getting home…its getting late." "What about you?" She asked. "I told you…I have some things I need to do." She stood up looking at me. "I just want to let you know, that I love you…." She said walking away. I nodded not really paying attention. I opened my backpack, pulled out a pillow, a sleeping bag and laid them out on the ground. I laid down staring up at the starry sky and closed my eyes.

(Terra's POV)

I stepped into the house and walked into my room smiling. Now that I knew he was okay…I felt like I had a great weight lifted off my shoulders. I climbed into my bed and fell asleep.

(Raven's POV)

I found myself sitting in my room staring at the set of pictures once again. "I just wanted you to be happy, and if that means being with Terra, I'll just have to accept that." I smiled to myself and wiped a tear from my eye. I hopped into bed and fell asleep.

Goten: To me that chapter seemed unusually short…but anyway…the next chapter is going back to the problems of Robin and the Jade Fox (The ninja kid). I hope you guys enjoy it!
