Chapter 21: Flashback # 1 Sam and Timothy Meet


All of the Titans woke up in a bleak grass field, with a slight wind blowing through their hairs and the moon quivering high above them. It was dark and quiet, and trees cast black shadows through the fields.

"Dudes! Where are we?" asked Beast Boy as he held onto Terra. All of the Titans looked at Sam and Timothy, who looked solemn.

"In a dream which you can feel, my friends. Behold, the first flashback," announced Sam. She motioned them to follow her. Slowly, they walked around the field. Suddenly, they heard laughter. All of the Titans crouched low, but Sam said, "We won't see you. You are now invisible and in my memory file. Thanks to Raven's powers and my strange mutation, we were able to enter my soul. Now observe." All of the Titans watched as three teenage girls walked through the grass. One girl was tall and slender, with long hair tied up in a half-ponytail with hair still falling on her shoulders. The girls who stood at her side were a little shorter then her. The one with twin ponytails was slightly taller then the girl with long layered hair that was let loose. The tall girl said, "So, Sam and Chantal, what are we to do now?" Everyone looked at Chantal and Sam, who nodded, and motioned them to watch.

"We're looking for the guys, Mhera. They've seem to have gotten lost," said Sam, who wasn't smiling. Chantal laughed and tossed her hair. "Anyway, who would want them?" A voice said, 'Maybe I do." The three girls whirled around and came face to face with a blond haired boy who had bright blue eyes. He looked at them calmly as three other boys walked out from behind them. Their eyes were all black, and they seemed not to be looking at anything in particular. Mhera gasped. "No! That's not Spence!" The guy chuckled. "Oh, but it is. And it is also Hiro and Tim." The other girls looked horrified. Sam stepped up. "But Matt Q.! Why? What have we done?" she asked, walking close to him. Tim growled a dog growl, but she ignored him. She walked up to Matt Q. and put his hands on her shoulder and shook him gently. "Why?" Matt Q. glared at her and said, 'Because Aimee never loved me, though I loved her back!" Sam gave Matt Q. a half hug and said, "Silly boy! She loves you thou!" Suddenly, Matt Q. grabbed her by the throat and choked her. He laughed, "This is what you always did to me. Now it's my turn!" He turned to his minions. "Hiro! Spence! Attack!" The two boys leapt forward, but the girls back flipped backwards and started running in opposite directions. Matt Q. held on to Sam, who growled and said, "Let me go!" She kicked him and landed on the ground. The shadow Shuhei and Speedy ran forward, but Sam stopped them. "Watch and do not interfere!"

Sam landed on the ground and got up again, but a foot sent her crashing back down. She saw Tim's foot on her back. 'No," she moaned. She grabbed his leg and pulled it off of her back and ran. He chased her and they vanished in a thick settling fog. As the Titans remained still, Mhera and Spence came into view. Spence had caught her and was holding her body slung over his shoulder. Mhera weakly was pounding him with her fists, but he wouldn't let go. Suddenly, she flipped her foot up and caught him in the jaw. She slammed him into the ground and pinned her knee onto his chest. He looked fazed for a second but then grabbed her arm and pushed her onto the ground. She whispered, 'Let this work." She moved her head up and kissed Spence square in the mouth. His eyes turned back into his regular mellow brown eyes. He held her in an embrace and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." They cried together, and Spence picked Mhera up. 'We have to leave this place right now." He ran out into the fog with her. The Titans let their breaths out and turned to another battle of the genders.

Chantal was flipping away from Hiro and kicking at him with her martial arts. Surprisingly, he dodged with quick reflexes and caught her arm. He pulled her forward into a head lock and punched her into pressure points which paralyzed her legs. He swung her over his shoulder and started toward Matt Q. As they neared a tree, Chantal reached up and hooked onto a branch. She swung her whole body over it and sung into Hiro. "Peek-a-boo!" she said as she kicked him square in the chest. He fell into the ground, and Chantal fell on top of him. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Hiro gripped Chantal's hand, who gripped back. The boy slowly gained his mind back and hugged her back. Hiro got up and together, they ran off to find Mhera and Spence. The Titans looked at Chantal. She blushed and said, "Fast reflexes. Everyone in my family was like that!" They heard a rustle of wind and they saw Sam sprinting as Tim was close behind her.

"Tim! Stop!" yelled Sam as she was getting tired. Suddenly, she tripped over a rock and went into a perfect dive roll. But as she sprang back up, Tim tackled her and they skid through the grass. Sam struggled to break free, but Tim's grip was iron. Tim pulled her off the ground and dragged her toward Matt Q. She kicked him and he fell over, but Sam still was in Tim's grip, and their hands were held together. Tim looked at Sam as if he had woken up from a dream and said, "Hello." Sam glared at him, but then started to cry. She got up and said, "Go find the other. I need to talk to matt Q. alone." She started walking toward Matt when Tim said, "Are you okay?" Sam replied in a bitter voice, "Fine! Just leave me alone!" Tim looked heart-broken, but then anger replaced it. "GOD!" he yelled and ran toward the others. Sam walked toward Matt Q. and put her hand on his shoulder. "Matt, I'm sorry." Matt looked at her and said, "Love is so pointless." Sam sat down next to him and ran her hand through his hair. "I agree, but I think you'll be able to catch Aimee again. Did you know you're hair is still as soft as a baby's?" He looked at her with his clear blue eyes. "You think?" Sam smiled and said, "I know." She hugged him like a friend, and said, 'Want me to walk you home?" Matt Q. looked at her and said, "Sure." Matt stood up and gave Sam a pull up. He pulled too hard, and they toppled over and Sam landed on top of Matt Q. She jumped back up and said, "Sorry!"

Matt Q. grinned. "No problem!" They laughed and walked back to matt's house. Unknown to them, Tim was still watching. "Grrrrrrr….." growled Tim as he followed them. Cyborg said, "Man Sam! You hang out with way too many boys!" Sam shot back, 'They're just friends!" Soon, the image faded into a thick fog and vanished. They stood in a black room.

""Okay," said Cyborg. Raven and Sam walked forward and touched a red dot on the wall. It burst open, and the Titans fell into another deep slumber.
