Author's Note: Quick update! I didn't have anything better to do, so I wrote this is about an hour. Bad news! I might be going to my dad's tomorrow for a few days, that means no more new chapters for awhile. This whole plan was at the last minute, not fair, I know. grumble grumble
Anyway, I hope you like the new chapter. Oh, and thanks for all the wonderful reviews guys!
"Do you know who it's from?"
"Yeah, actually, I do..."
"Who?"
"Me."
Terra stopped. "What?"
"It was from me." Robin repeated slowly, he didn't look at her, he had halted too. Terra looked at him hard.
"Are you lying to me?"
"No." He said firmly. He turned around to look at her, his face held a hard expression. She studied him for a moment, going over the facts in her head. Something didn't add up.
"Then why were there pictures of me and Beast Boy in there." She pressed. Robin wasn't expecting this answer.
"I... I don't know." He replied feebly.
"But it's from you?" Terra questioned.
"Yes."
"Why would you give me something like that?" Terra wasn't going to give up. She needed to find the answers, she needed to fill the empty part of her memory.
"Because... because I... Terra... I really like you." Something snapped in Terra's head. The memory strip came back.
"Terra... I really like you..."
"I really like you too..."
Her eyes widened. "Were... were we... together?" Terra whispered. Her heart was racing. Was she finally finding out her relationship with these people? Yes, she had to be. Her stomach fluttered, waiting for his answer.
"Yes." He finally let out. Terra stepped toward him.
"T-then... w-will you... help me... remember? Robin?" She stuttered. He nodded warmly. She smiled weakly and took his hand. Robin squeezed her hand lightly as it slipped into his. They continued to walk down the hall. Robin couldn't bring himself to look at her.
I can help you Terra...
Beast Boy rolled over in his bed restlessly. He finally snapped open his eyes, his eyes darting around the room. He stayed in the same position for nearly twenty minutes. Something flashed across his memory. "Terra?" He called out. But he knew she wasn't there. He groaned. He suddenly comprehended how late it probably was. There was hardly any light coming in from the window. His room was a pool of dark blues and black. He slipped off his bed, heading for the door, but thought better of it. Robin was probably still mad, and he didn't need to be yelled at again. He flicked on a lamp on his desk and sat down in his desk chair. He sighed as he played with a pencil that was laying on the desk surface.
He felt weak, and he was hungry. He longed to go out into the kitchen and find something sweet to energize him, but didn't want to risk it. "Terra said she's bring me something, anyway..." He said in a bored tone. He grabbed a piece of paper that had been covered by messy stacks of comics. He smoothed it out against the desk and started to sketch something onto the paper. He wasn't a wonderful artist, but as he got more into it, losing the feeling of reality, he found the picture looking better and better.
StarFire had come back out into the living room. She had been hoping to find someone to keep her company, but the room was deserted. She kept switching the way she was laying or sitting on the sofa, unable to keep still. "La la la la... sphloraz... la la la la... sphloraz..." She sang a strange little song to herself as she stared off into space. She heard a door open and she sat up instantly. But what she saw wasn't exactly what she expected. There Robin and Terra were, standing at the entrance to one of the halls, holding hands. StarFire's face went white.
Robin saw StarFire, his eyes bulged a little; Obviously he hadn't expected anyone to be in here. He quickly looked away from her and led Terra across the room. Terra smiled at StarFire in a friendly way, but StarFire just stared at her. They finally disappeared into the opposite hall. StarFire was in shock, still staring at the closed door they had just gone through.
"What... was that?" StarFire exclaimed with a hint of anger.
Beast Boy finally put his pencil down, and tilted his head back. He lifted the paper in front of the lamp's light to get a better look. It was a picture of Terra, she was smiling. Just looking at the picture made his heart melt a little. It wasn't the best work of art, but it was certainly the best he'd ever done. He grinned at it and placed it back on his desk.
I hope Terra likes it. I guess I'll have to take my chance and find her. He pushed his chair back, stretching as he stood up. He looked at the clock before he picked the picture back up again. It was almost six. He held the picture to his chest protectively, he didn't want anything to happen to it. He strode out into the hall happily. Still clutching onto the paper, he stepped into the living room. StarFire was sitting on the back of the couch.
"Hey Star!" He greeted her happily. "Do you know where Terra is?"
"Yes." She replied flatly. "She is with Robin." She spat out, like just saying anything about Terra tasted bad. Beast Boy was a little worried about StarFire's sudden bad mood. She was never like this.
"Uh, ok... is that a bad thing?"
"Go see for yourself."
"Where did they go?"
"It looked like they were headed toward Terra's room." Her fists clenched suddenly. Beast Boy took a step back.
"Oh, um, thanks. Bye Star." He said and dashed out of the room. I wonder what she's so moody about... Beast Boy thought. He walked briskly down the hall that led to Terra's room. He knocked loudly when he got there. No answer, he knocked again, and this time put his ear against the door. There was silence, and just before Beast Boy was about to walk away, he heard someone mutter something. Then someone giggled. Wait a minute... Beast Boy didn't want to just barge into her room, but he had to know what was going on. He pressed the button for the door to open. When it slid open, he gasped.
Terra was with Robin all right, and she was in his arms, too. The two of them were standing by her couch, Robin had his arms draped over her, and Terra was resting her head against his chest. Terra didn't look very affected by Beast Boy's sudden appearance, but Robin looked really nervous, but he stayed in the same position. Beast Boy stared at Terra to Robin, he narrowed his eyes in disbelief. He started to shake and dropped the picture he had drawn. And with that, he took off down the hall. As his feet pounded faster, the thoughts in his head screamed louder.
Terra and Robin? No!
Robin wouldn't do this to me!
I LOVE TERRA! HE KNOWS THAT!
He finally burst through the door into the living room, he was panting. He looked at StarFire as she turned to him
"Did... did you see?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah... I saw all right! I saw that Robin had his arms around my girl!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Well, I saw... that YOUR GIRL had her hand on MY BOY!" StarFire roared, her eyes glowing green. Beast Boy bared his teeth at her. They glared at each other, ready to attack if the other made a move. StarFire rose up a few inches off the ground, making green balls form in her fists. She suddenly blasted one at Beast Boy, he transformed into a mouse, so the attack sped above him, hitting the wall with a loud k-wack.
"Your crazy!" Beast Boy exclaimed when he had turned back into himself. There were heavy, pounding footsteps that come from one of the halls. Cyborg came running into the room.
"What the hell is going on here!" He shouted.
"She blasted it at me!" Beast Boy said shrilly, pointing at StarFire quickly.
"Blasted what?" He said, but looked at StarFire and found his answer when he saw the green orbs in her fists. He rounded on her and the orbs disappeared. She landed back on the ground, she looked flushed. "Why did you do that, Star?"
"Ask him!" She huffed, nodding toward Beast Boy.
"Oh, this is just ridiculous!" Cyborg moaned, stomping one foot on the floor.
"It's not ridiculous!" Beast Boy objected.
"Then, just tell me what happened!"
"Ok, fine." Beast Boy took a deep breath. "Robin's taking my girl."
"NO! Terra is taking my boy!" StarFire interrupted.
"Aaaannnddd... this is why you are fighting?"
"Yes!" StarFire said, she had seemed to calm down a little bit.
"It's her fault!" Beast Boy commented.
"No, it's your fault!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Yes!"
"It's your fault, Star!"
"It is yours-!"
"SHUT UP!" Cyborg yelled over them. "God, you guys are like one big friggin' migraine!" The two continued to glare at each other. "Besides, I think you guys are just hallucinating, I mean, come on... Robin and Terra? I can't find that possible." Just as the words escaped his lips, the hallway door opened.
"What's going on here?" Robin demanded sternly. And by his side was none other than Terra, hanging onto his hand. Beast Boy and StarFire glared at the two. Cyborg just looked up at Terra and Robin, looking dumbstruck with his mouth hanging open.
