Before I get started, I would like to thank everyone for being so patient with me. I know I'm a pain in the ass when it comes to updating. This time I blame piles of summer homework. But alas, this is my final chapter for this awesomely cool story. I know I know… Dry your tears… Ha. Okay. Anyway, I was watching the new Teen Titans (well, it will be old by the time this is posted. Damn vacations!) and I really got into it. Well, at least when Slade mentioned Terra. I got all happy and I knew that Terra would be brought up again, especially with those funky clone things. But when clone BB said, "No wonder Terra dumped you" to regular BB… I was floored. My mouth hung open, and I just kept saying, "Oh. Oh. That's so mean. Oh." And then cut to the scene with BB's eyes widening with tears… Oh man that was incredible. I have to defiantly say that that scene was amazing. It really made me determined to write this. Next time it plays and I'm at home, I'm taping it, and then I'm going to watch that scene over and over and over…

Yeah. I'm just a little bit obsessed. But what can I say? I love BB/Terra. :D

Much love to all – Michelle 3

Lost Memories

"Terra, wake up." A sharp voice demanded. "Wake up you damn girl!"

Terra stirred awake, groaning in pain. She clutched her right arm, pain searing throughout her body. She sat up slowly, glancing around her surroundings. She was back in Slade's cave. But… how?

Before she had time to answer herself, she felt a sharp pain across her face. It took her a minute to realize that Slade had slapped her. She narrowed her eyes and managed to croak, "What the hell was that for?"

"For running away from me!" Slade bellowed. "No one runs away from me…" He clenched his fists in an attempt to draw fear.

Terra wasn't buying it. "That act may have worked on me to get me to betray my friends, but that was because I was weak. Although I may not be quite as strong as I was before, I now know when you're talking crap, and this time, I'm not falling for it!"

Slade raised his eyebrow. She wasn't supposed to remember. "You…?"

"Yeah, me." Terra clenched her own fists. She was more intimidating than he ever planned to be.

He couldn't believe it. Terra actually remembered her past! How long had it been since she was freed? Certainly not a year. This couldn't be right. She can't remember. It went against his plan. His plan to use her thoughts. Could he even do that trick any more? He closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind.

No. He couldn't do it anymore.

"You ruined everything!" Slade growled, slapping Terra upside the head. She passed out instantly.

Terra flickered her eyes open, unable to focus. She still felt like she was asleep.

Why can't I move? She tried hard, really, but it was impossible. She lay there, in a dream-like state. She briefly wondered if Slade was going to hit her for falling asleep.

"Look what you've done to her!" The voice sounded so familiar, so comforting. She wanted so bad to know who's it was, and what was going on.

"I've done nothing she hasn't deserved."

"No one deserves this!"

"Well if you don't approve, then I'll take the girl and…"

"STOP!"

Terra heard noises, muffled noises, sounding almost like small explosions. Her vision was starting to come in focus. Flashes of red, gold and dust flashed across her eyes. Yet, she continued to lie still.

I wish I could help my friends fight Slade. But then, they didn't help me when I killed him. Or rather… I don't know. How did that happen? Oh. I'm so scared. I wish Beast Boy was here…

"Terra!" She felt her body being shaken. "Terra! Wake up!"

How she wanted to. Oh, how she wanted to. But she couldn't… Maybe she wasn't strong enough…

She began to hear sobs. "Terra, please… I can't lose you again… This has happened too many times… It's like a cruel joke. I can't take it anymore. Please Terra… you have to be alive… Robin said you were…" She heard the voice hiccup in the midst of his tears. "Please… I love you too much… I really do… I love you…"

Terra felt her eyes finally snap open. She stared out bluntly, coming face to face with a teary Beast Boy. She glanced around, noticing that they were the only two left in the cave.

"Beast Boy?" She managed to say. Her voice was still rough. "Where is… everybody?"

Beast Boy snapped his head up, relief and love and any other emotion sweeping across his face. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her as tightly as possible. "Everybody went back home. They caught Slade and… I don't know what they were doing with him. I couldn't tell if he was dead or not but all I know is that he's gone and no longer a harm to you."

Terra managed to sit up, holding her head in her hand. She felt cuts and bumps everywhere. She cringed. But then she looked down at Beast Boy and she felt her heart sink.

He was beat up worse than she was. His outfit was practically burned to pieces, as with the rest of him. He was beaten everywhere. She felt herself fall into his arms again. She was still too weak to handle everything.

"What happened to you?" She asked, tears brimming.

"Slade tried to hurt you, so I got in the way," he explained in a hushed voice. "He got some weird fire power thing. It hurt like hell."

"Why'd you do that?" She looked into his eyes.

Beast Boy smiled widely. "Because I love you, and I would do anything for you, and that includes dying."

Terra felt tears pour down her face as she collapsed into him again. "I don't know what to say." She wrapped her arms around him. "How can you still love me after what I did to you that night at the amusement park? And to all your friends?"

Beast Boy felt himself involuntarily gasp. "You remember that night…?"

"Well, I try not to, but you know, I tend to beat myself up over things like that. I can't believe I was that awful to you."

"Oh Terra." He hugged her again. "This is awesome! You actually remember your past!"

She smiled. "I guess so. But you still didn't answer my question."

Beast Boy carefully considered his words. He then remembered what Cyborg (or maybe it was Robin?) had said. "Love is all about trust. I trust that you're sorry." He gently gripped her head in his hand and made her look at him. "And even you're not, I'm a fool. And fools have a hard time letting go of the one they love."

She laughed. "That is so you."

They chuckled nervously for a minute and then stared at each other longingly. Beast Boy couldn't contain himself any more. He leaned in closer and kissed her. Their first kiss.

Terra leaned in, kissing him back. She felt oddly secure like this. He didn't have to say he loved her. His kiss already did.

No one knows how long the two sat there, in pure bliss, just kissing. No, not making out, just sweet, innocent kisses. They didn't care that they should probably be in the emergency ward for third degrees burns and then some. They didn't care that it was getting dark and damp, and the cave smelled like death. All that mattered to them was that they were safe, and that finally, they could be together.
