Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.
A/N: THE FINAL CHAPTER! (Cries.) I feel...so sad. I mean, this story's ending! But, the story arc SHALL go on. The storyline's kinda getting switched around...and it'll take a while to write, but I'll explain that at the A/N at the bottom of the chapter! Now, reviews:
-Chapter 13-
Pickles12: Um...I guess one of them could've been embarrassed by Star in her underwear...but I really just wanted to focus on getting her back, lol.
ShiningStarr: She didn't get raped! NO RAPE! Lol, this sounds like our CCS story...anyhoo, she got put into the past before she got raped.
Moonlady9: Star was about to get raped before she got sent into the past.
Yeliak: Yay, somebody's happy that Star returned! LOL, aren't we all? Robin and Starfire, riding on a white stallion, living happily ever after...damn, that sounds like some fairy tale I'd read! LOL!
-Chapter 14-
Moon-Princess-Meg: Oh, yay, you'll read the sequel! I'm a big BBRae fan, too. Hahaha, somebody else who doesn't like Terra! Bunny Raven used to be a good episode until they aired it three days in a row then kept on playing it over and over for weeks...now I don't watch it anymore.
Jadedea: Yeah, Every Dog Has His Day is the name of the episode. Err, all the future Titans were...I guess in the future, lol, and then Star just went back to the present by the help of Raven...
Pickles12: Thanks for reviewing every chapter of this story! I was surprised when my mailbox was filled with reviews...I guess Star was too traumatized (for the moment, anyway) to really ask about the names and all. I'm sorry about the cussing! I'm trying to cut down on that in real life...I guess I needed some humor.
Scathic's warrior: ...are you being sarcastic? Lol, I guess I'm glad there's some BBxRae fluff, Star's back...yeah.
RonLuver2005: YAY! ANOTHER PERSON WHO DOESN'T LIKE TERRA! Yeah, Betrayal was kinda stupid. Thanks for reviewing!
Yeliak: Yay, your confusion's gone! Confusion gone with fluffiness...man, that sounds so cool. You're so right; the sequel WILL be 10x better! (Lol, sorry, kinda hyper right now.) Oh, wow, you don't like Cyborg the Barbarian either? Lol, what a coincidence. Anyway, I'm trying my best to write, write, write, but damn block schedules are getting in my way! ARG! Thanks for reviewing!
ShiningStarr: I like constructive criticism. She DIDN'T get raped! She got raped in a vision...but Raven saved her before anything could happen. And she was traumatized! Lol, I'm glad you like the story.
Hoshi-ko88: Hahaha! You must really hate Terra...I hope she doesn't come back. Woo, vulgar towards Terra...TRAITOR (not you, Terra)! I told my Mom the traitor was on the TV the other day, lol, and I was talking about Terra...funny how people hate her and she's a cartoon character. Funny how things work. Thanks for reviewing!
-Author's Note-
lady of darkness055: Well...everything I said about the episodes are true except The End – airdates are still rumors. And the movie is so gonna happen!
Yeliak: I'm glad to have made you a happy person! Ehh, I go to a couple of message boards (to find the info). I normally to the TGN (Titans Go dot Net) boards and TVTome TT boards. The movie is most likely going to be a cartoon movie...it'd take too much money (in my opinion) to do a live-action movie! Yeah, The Prophecy is gonna air June 4th. The episodes "The End" are NOT the last episodes of the series. Yes, there is going to be a Season 5 filled with 13 more episodes!
StarfireLover: Stranded was one of the most awesome episodes ever. I still need to watch The Prophecy, arg...
Rose: Ooohhh, presents...I CAN'T WAIT EITHER! There's a 'go stranded' dance? Awesome. You're going to have to show me that! LOL. I've decided against downloading "Overdrive". I saw the pics – it looks like another boring Cy episode to me. Heh, Cyborg is hilarious...'specially in Stranded.
Pickles12: The first ten minutes was basically just fighting...and a few funny lines inserted here and there. It sucks that every time Robin wants to save him, a monster or something comes in and distracts him! It totally sucks, lol.
ShiningStarr: ...lol, I told ya your review response Friday, lol.
Alexnandru Van Gordon: The Teen Titans movie just got the "go ahead" about...a week ago. They just finished the script and the production is going to start very soon.
Xox.Annie Potter.xox.: I downloaded Stranded, lol, and I loved it. I SHALL UPDATE THIS STORY SOON! (Hugs reviewers.) Lol...
Chapter Fifteen: Prelude to the Beginning of the End
x...three years later...x
"Are they awake yet?"
"Nope."
"Dude, they're sleeping in, aren't they?"
"...By the looks of it...yes."
Beast Boy sighed. "It's bad enough what today is, and they just had to sleep in. I honestly expected Star to be awake, maybe crying or feeling kind of sad or something..."
"If she were truly said, then we would have seen it for a while now," Raven pointed out, getting up from the couch they were sitting on and walking into the kitchen.
Right then, Cyborg walked into the Main Room, grinning from ear to ear. "Mornin' ya'll!"
"Good morning," Beast Boy called from the lounge area.
"You okay, Rae?" Cyborg asked when Raven didn't respond.
"I've been better," the Goth girl admitted, taking an orange and peeling it.
"Good morning, everyone!" Starfire exclaimed, now walking into the room, a happy look on her face.
"Good Lord, girl, you seem so happy," Cyborg said, raising his eyebrows.
Starfire sighed. "I am saddened because I have to be returning home today and because of..." She paused. "...Us taking our separate ways, but I am trying to be as happy as I can."
"Good morning, Titans!" Robin said, proudly walking into the kitchen. (It's crazy when they all walk in like that...don't kill me for doing this.)
"Ooh, look who sounds so professional," Raven muttered, watching Robin fill a glass with water, a wide grin on his face.
"What?" Robin asked, walking over to her and patting her on the back. "I've always sounded professional."
"Um...sure," Raven said. "And don't do that."
"Do what?"
"Pat me on the back."
"Um...can I ask why?"
"Eh...don't prefer being touched much," Raven explained. "I'm not saying this to be rude, but you of all people should know that."
"Sometimes I wonder how you can be dating Beast Boy," Robin muttered a little too loudly.
"Hey!" Beast Boy exclaimed, watching the TV. "I heard that!"
"You're not the only one," Raven muttered jokingly, causing Starfire and Cyborg to giggle.
"What was that, Rae?" Beast Boy asked, turning around and looking at her.
"I love you," Raven answered, sending him a small smile. He smiled back, saying, "I love you, too."
"Aww!" Cyborg said, clapping his hands together.
"You sound like we've never said that to each other around you before," Raven said, grabbing pieces of the orange and eating them.
"It was an 'aww' moment," Cyborg said. "Don't hurt me."
"I wasn't planning on doing so," Raven said, walking back over to the couches and sitting down next to her boyfriend.
"Hey Star?" Beast Boy called.
"Yes?" Starfire asked, sitting down on a couch across from them.
"I don't wanna sound rude, 'coz this probably will, but when are you leaving?" the changeling asked.
"Um..." Starfire put a finger to her chin in thought. "I don't know the exact time, but it's probably between seven and eight tonight."
"So, why are ya leavin' again?" Cyborg asked as him and Robin walked over to the other three of them. Cyborg sat beside Raven, and Robin sat next to Starfire.
"To do some training," Starfire explained. "I told my parents that when the Titans disbanded, if they would, anyway, that I would return to Tameran to do some extra training."
"For how long?" Raven asked.
"Um...well, it'll probably take less than a year," the alien girl explained. "But it may take longer; I don't know."
"So, what're we going to do today?" Robin asked.
The other four Titans looked at each other, shrugging. They remained silent for minutes, their minds thinking about what they should be doing.
"Maybe we could all go out one last time?" Beast Boy suggested. "Y'know, a movie, then we could go out to eat and walk around and talk and maybe stop by the arcade or something to play some games or whatever..."
The other Titans looked at each other, nodding. "Okay."
The sun was slowly setting. Shades of purple, pink, blue, orange, red, black, yellow, and green were spread across the endless sky. There were few clouds, creating the perfect scenery for such a beautiful sunset. Today's sunset was especially special, though – it was the Teen Titans final sunset together.
Each of the five Titans was sitting on (or around) the ledge that stood on the edge of rooftop. They were staring at the sunset, a small and comforting breeze blowing past them.
Robin had his arm around Starfire in a comforting, loving way. Her head was resting on his shoulder, a small smile displayed on her face. His mask was off, for he wanted this to be a special occasion for all of them (more or less for Starfire, though). In truth, he wanted to hold her forever. He didn't want her to leave to go back to her home planet, but he knew this was what she wanted, and he respected that with all her heart.
Beast Boy and Raven sat a good ten feet away from Robin and Starfire. Instead of sitting on the ledge, they sat in a chair. Beast Boy was laying on the chair, his eyes shut. Raven was lying between his legs, her head resting on his chest, her eyes also shut. Their hands were locked together, creating a pleasant, romantic scene for the other Titans (if they looked back at them).
The two of them decided to stay together once they got their stuff out of the Tower. They had already bought a nice apartment right outside of Jump City, and they had some of their stuff in it already. The "departing" of their friends saddened both of them, but they knew they had to go on and this was how they were dealing with it.
Cyborg sat off near the corner of the rooftop, which about fifteen feet away from Robin and Starfire. He had decided to head back to Steele City and fight some more with the Titans East. Like the rest of them, he was upset. Although his features clearly displayed more sadness than the rest of them, he kept his feelings bottled up inside of him.
"So, uh, what do you plan on doing after...you know?" Robin asked. He didn't speak too loudly, but the others could hear him fine. They hadn't discussed this while they were out – why need to discuss something so depressing while having a blast?
"I'm going to Steele City...fight and hang with the Titans East for a while," Cyborg explained.
"I'm gonna start looking for a job somewhere..." Beast Boy said. The other Titans knew how they had planned on moving in together.
"I plan on going to college," Raven said. "I want to study psychology...I'm starting this coming up year."
"What about you?" Starfire quietly asked Robin.
"I plan on moving back in with Bruce and working at Wayne Enterprises," Robin explained, his grip around Starfire getting slightly tighter.
They soon headed back inside. They had planned on leaving right after Starfire left, which they all knew would be a sad event. They quietly headed back to their rooms, silently packing. The Tower became engulfed in silence, an almost unbearable thing for each of the Titans in their final moments together.
Cyborg and Raven walked into the Main Room at about the same time, both carrying bags in their hands. It wasn't until they had both sat down when Cyborg asked, "Where's BB? I expected ya'll to be down at the same time..."
Raven shrugged. "Don't know."
Cyborg grinned. "Maybe ya should 'talk' to him, you know?"
She looked at him before a small smile appeared on her face. "Alright." She shut her eyes, and it was seconds later when a scream could be heard throughout the tower.
Right then, Beast Boy came running into the room. His bags were in his hands, and some articles of clothing were messily hanging out of it. He immediately ran over to Raven and gave her a hug.
"Um...might I ask why you're hugging me?" she asked as he sat down next to her.
"Dude, there was a ghost in my room and the weird thing is that it sounded just like Raven!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
Raven groaned, shaking her head. "Two words...dumb...ass..." she muttered, causing Cyborg to laugh.
"Hey, what's with the name calling?" Beast Boy asked, ignoring Cyborg's laughter.
"I talked to you," Raven explained. "Telepathically. You know, through my mind?"
Beast Boy looked at her strangely for a moment before saying, "Ooh..."
"You're slow," Cyborg chimed in.
"Hey!" Beast Boy snapped. "Nobody was talking to you!"
"He gave me the idea," Raven told her boyfriend.
"Rae, what exactly did you say to him?" Cyborg asked.
"Boo-ya," she admitted, her voice monotonous.
"Really?"
She nodded.
Cyborg laughed and patted her on the back. "That's awesome!"
"No, it scared the living shit outta me," Beast Boy said. "I honestly thought someone was out to get me, even though it did sound suspicious."
"Yeah, we heard," Raven said. "But, Cyborg's right – it was pretty awesome."
"Yeah, yeah," Beast Boy murmured, taking Raven's hand in his and slightly swinging it around a little bit.
"Naw, aren't you two just the cutest couple ever?" Cyborg asked. He smiled and added (in a jokingly way), "Not like the other two. They're just cutesy and don't care to show their PDA."
"Oh, hah, hah, that was so not funny," Robin said, suddenly appearing next to them. "But, Beast Boy, why were you screaming?"
"Raven talked to me telepathetically," Beast Boy explained.
Starfire giggled as the two of them sat down on the couch across from them. "Don't you mean 'telepathically'?"
"Um...yes?"
"Dude, you will ALWAYS be the dopey, green, short BB we've always known," Cyborg said.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Beast Boy exclaimed, glaring at his robotic friend. He then looked at Raven, a pleading look on his face. "Please, Rae, do something!"
"Will you two give it a rest?" Raven asked. "Cyborg, stop calling him names. Beast Boy, stop doing stupid things."
Beast Boy and Cyborg looked at each other, nodding. "Okay," they agreed,
"You two will forever be bickering," Robin said. "Even at our...fifty year anniversary. You two will be fighting over who has better looking kids."
"That's stupid," Cyborg said.
"It's a good idea for a prank," Beast Boy said, grinning.
The other four Titans shook their head, grins on all their faces. Right then, a large ship could be heard landing on the rooftop. That's when it hit them all – the Titans were now over.
"Well...I guess this is it..." Robin muttered, taking Starfire's hands in his and walking to the rooftop, the others following him. Once they arrived there, they saw a large ship sitting on top of it.
Although nobody was outside of it, Starfire knew whoever was in there was waiting for her. "They're waiting for me to get inside," she explained so nobody would have to ask her what was going on.
The other four Titans smiled at her, a wave a sadness coming over each of them. They knew saying good-bye was going to be one of the hardest things to do. She was always there for them. She was one of the sweetest and caring people they would ever know.
Inside, Robin felt like crying. The pain inside him felt so bad that he felt tears forming in his eyes. He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
They kissed for a good minute or two before Starfire slowly pulled away. She turned around, smiling at the three other Titans. "I'm...I'm going to miss you guys."
Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven waved at her, solemn looks on their faces.
"We'll miss you, too," Raven said.
"Yeah, go do some training and come straight back," Beast Boy added.
"And contact us, of course," Cyborg added.
Starfire nodded. She then picked up her bags, gave Robin a quick kiss, and walked over to the ship. The doors opened and she walked into the ship.
"Greetings, Princess Starfire," a young Tameranian guy said.
"Hello," Starfire replied, sitting down on one of the couches as the ship flew towards her home planet.
Back outside, the Titans watched as the ship flew away from the Earth. It only took less than thirty seconds for them to not see the ship anymore. They slowly descended into the Tower and soon exited it. They took one final glance at the Tower before they got off the island and into Jump City to start their new lives as normal people.
-THE END-
And now, a special preview for the sequel, "Giving It All Away":
It's been three years since the Titans broke up, and they've been called back...
"Yeah, anyway, Richard called her, and she called Vic, who called me because..." she paused.
"Yeah?"
"We have to be Titans again."
Each Titan has moved on; each now has their own life to go on and deal with.
"Are you sure you can go to work today?" he asked her.
She nodded. "Yeah. I few of the kids there have the flu, and some of them just had it," she explained, referring to the daycare center she worked at.
Read as they go through their final day as "non-superheroes"! (In Chapter one, anyway.)
"Ya'll still live here?"
"Yup," Gar answered as they got out of the car. They all grabbed one of Vic's three bags and walked inside.
"No more boxes, though," Raven said, opening their apartment door and walking inside.
IT'S ALL OVER! (Hugs Raven plushie.) I feel happy because I FINALLY typed this chapter, but I'm sad because: 1. It's over, and 2. It'll take me a couple of weeks to write the next chapter. Starting next Wednesday and for a week after that, I'll be on vacation at Disney World with no Internet connection at all. I've got the first chapter almost written out, and it's so long that you all will love it! Now, here are some dates of new episodes:
June 4: The Prophecy
June 11: Stranded
June 18: Overdrive
June 25: Mother Mae-Eye
July 4: The End Parts 1-3
Just as the author's note, the airdate for The End is still a rumor. As for the rest of the dates...The Prophecy is an official date, but all the sites are guessing for Stranded, Overdrive, and Mother Mae-Eye, which are most likely official.
Oh, yeah, here's the poll!
What are your favorite character episodes? Also, what music would you like to have on a Teen Titans soundtrack?
Here's what I have to say:
Robin: Masks
Starfire: How Long is Forever?
Raven: Birthmark, Spellbound
Cyborg: Wavelength
Beast Boy: Employee of the Month
Terra: Aftershock Parts 1-2
Group: Stranded
As for music...I'd love to hear the BG (background music) from: Wavelength, Employee of the Month, Birthmark, Spellbound, Aftershock Parts 1-2...there's probably more, but I can't think of any right now.
Thanks for reviewing for the other chapters and PLEASE REVIEW FOR THIS ONE!
