Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or "Blue Skies". That sucks… You know what? Someday I might own it then I'll force the writers to do my bidding! MWA HA HA HAAAAA!
Author's Note: DARN YOU TYPOS! I swear to god in the last chapter my sister fixed all those because we laughed about them! GRR! I bet this website hates me! Well anyway thank you all for reviewing! If you did… Oh guess what I just read on the internet, I was reading TT stuff and there was a interview with one of the writers so I looked at it and they got to talking about couples on the show, He said Rob/Star was a definite couple, BUT BB/Rae weren't intended to be a couple and they were going to go with Cy/Rae in the beginning! But he said some of the writers were debating on if BB/Rae should happen or not! And that just right about killed me! Well at least they're thinking about it…(sigh)
You want to know what I just realized, my summary doesn't have to do with where am at all in my story…
Anyway on with the responses,

Beast Boy entered his room, still humming Blue Skies, cheerily. He had his eyes closed, as he walked for the bunk bed, stumbling over piles of clothes.
Some of the clothes on the floor had been there for so long they didn't fit him anymore, some of them might have been home to a few creatures. Old plates he'd never brought back down to the kitchen, were sitting on the dresser and floor. You'd never know they were there because they were covered by his clothes.
He plopped down on the bed still humming, it made him bounce a little, and then the bed settled. He was really glad Raven was using his nickname, he had been trying for a long time to build up their friendship, and her using his nickname proved it was working.
The happy changeling opened his eyes; he starred at the bottom of the bunk. There were various pieces of gum stuck to it. He chuckled a little. Feeling a little bored Beast Boy decided to go play some video games. As he walked out the door Beast Boy hit his foot on something large, heavy and square.
A little curious he bent down and picked it up. It was a large leather book, written on the cover in chipped, gold, letters read Photo Album and underneath that, written in what looked like crayon, was By Beast Boy.
"I had forgotten about this… I started this a while ago," He thought, "Lets have a look inside…"
As he opened to page one there was big picture of the Tower, also written in crayon said, This is my home now! I haven't seen the inside but it looks cool. Beast Boy smiled, he remembered the first day he saw the tower. He hadn't met any of the team yet, except Robin who was leading him to the tower. Beast Boy turned the page.
Page two was a picture of the entire team. Robin was listening to music on the couch, Cy was playing video games, Star was flying over Cyborg's head, it appeared she was cheering for him, and Raven was in the corner reading that large book. It was funny, that book never seemed to end. Written next to the picture, this time in purple marker, was, This is the team, a motley crew, but I think we could do great things.
Beast Boy looked in the back of the picture, Raven was sitting as far away from everyone as possible. She didn't try to isolate herself like that anymore. She was comfortable with them now, he smiled.
Beast Boy turned the page; there were four pictures this time. The pictures had everyone individually, written next to Robin's picture was, The leader, he can get difficult at times. Next to Star's was, The happy one, sometimes peppy, she laughs at my jokes. Next to Cy's was, My best bud, he's the one who built the tower, really smart.
And last, next to Raven's picture was written, She's one of the prettiest girls I've ever met, her eyes are her best feature, no one could forget her eyes.
Beast Boy was a little shocked. He didn't remember writing that, he chuckled again.
Beast Boy closed the book and headed for the main room.
(AN: that really had nothing to do with the story, but I just thought I'd put in a cute BB/Rae moment)
(IN RAVEN'S ROOM)
Raven sat on her bed with mixed emotions. Happy about the eye comment, but sad at the same time.
If I was happy about the eye comment, could that mean I'm starting to lo- No I'm not. If I did that would ruin the friendship. I can't! Or could I? No! …Maybe… NOOO! I must talk with my emotions, they're really messing me up again.
Raven opened her eyes; it took her a moment to adjust to the darkness of the whole room. She stood up and walked over to her vanity, she picked up the mirror, and closed her eyes. Within seconds she felt a small force pulling her. When it stopped she opened her eyes. There was Nevermore, in all its dead, bleak, depressing, glory.
Besides having her annoying emotions there, Nevermore was one of her favorite places to be. Usually quiet and calm, the perfect scene for Raven.
She began to walk forward till she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around expecting to see one of he many emotions, but no one was there. She continued to walk. She felt another tap on the shoulder.
A little annoyed she turned around, no one. Raven heard a giggle.
"That's enough Funny." Raven said.
"HA! You should have seen your face!" Another Raven appeared looking very happy, kind of like Happy, but her smile was bigger and a little spastic. She had a clever look in her eyes.
"Knock Knock!"
Raven sighed, "Not now Funny!"
"Oh come on Raven please!"
"(sigh) Alright, but not a knock knock joke, I hate those. "
"You got it!" Funny then pointed at Raven and winked, "OH! Here's a good one! A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.
Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it.
He told them to go away and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in.
OK, follow me, he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.
Down through the valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees.
Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.
Now, do you see that tree over there? he asked.
Yes, Yes, Yes! the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
Good, said the bat, Because I sure didn't!"
Funny Began rolling on the ground, pleased someone finally listened to her joke, which she apparently found hysterical.
It took Raven a second to get it, but she then got it and gave Funny a small smile and chuckle. "Will you go get the others Funny? I have to tell you all something I think you might want to know."
"Gotcha!" With that Funny turned around and tripped over her own feet, she got up and ran into a portal. Raven smiled, "So she does slapstick too…"
Soon all the emotions were gathering in front of Raven. When they had all arrived Raven began.
"I thought I'd tell you all something-"
"YOU LOVE BEAST BOY?" Happy and Love shouted in unison!
"No! I've come to tell you something that will make you all very happy so you'll stop messing with my thoughts! Remember when you all told me you all like Beast Boy!" Everyone's eyes brightened.
"I've come to like him as a FRIEND, nothing more! Friend! F-R-I-E-N-D!"
All her emotions looked a little disappointed, until Happy said, "Hey! It's progression! She'll realize she loves him sooner then we'd hoped!
Her emotions brightened and agreed. This annoyed Raven.
"He's nothing more!" she yelled angrily, "He won't become anything more!"
Her emotions were unaffected by her words, some gave her smug smiles, and some were talking to each other gleefully about her "progression".
Raven gave a moan of annoyance, and began to walk away. She was headed back to her room, "These stubborn emotions will never learn!" She turned around and yelled to them, "Leave me alone for at least the rest of the day!" Raven turned her back to them.
She said her incantation and closed her eyes. Again, there was a small force pulling her, when it stopped she opened her eyes. She then realized it was about time she went to get the answers from Cyborg's Scanner.
Raven left her room. Still a little embarrassed about the whole Beast Boy's nickname thing. As Raven was walking down the hall to Cyborgs room, she saw Beast Boy in the hall, she'd decided to ask him if he wanted to come too.
"It was his plan, he'd want to know too," Raven thought.
Or maybe you just want his company? Said Love in a very sly voice.
"Love, go away! Hey! I thought I told you to leave me alone for now!"
Well, I was bored.
"That's a perfect reason! Now go away!" Raven shouted sarcastically in her head.
Fine…
" Beast Boy."
Beast Boy whipped around startled by the sudden noise. He grinned when he saw who it was. "Yeah?" he answered.
"You want to come check Cyborg's computer with me?"
"Sure" They headed off to Cyborgs room. This time not in silence, they had small talk. Uncomfortable small talk, but small talk nonetheless. Timid was making Raven nervous.
"Timid! Not you too!" Raven thought"
Sorry Raven, I jus wanted to be near BB
Finally they reached Cyborg's door, and they stopped. Beast Boy knocked, and a very irritable sounding Cyborg said, "What?"
"We were wondering if we could take a look at your computer?" Beast Boy proposed.
There was a long pause, "Why?"
"Well, we kinda used your room… to uh… scan the bracelet… heh heh…"
"You were in my room? Alone? WITH ALL MY HIGH TECH STUFF!"
At this point the door had opened and Cyborg was hanging out of the room over Beast Boy. Beast Boy shrunk back a little.
"It was for a good reason…"
"Really? What reason!"
Raven interrupted the fight, "When Slade came we had to scan the bracelet before he got it, so we used your room, can we check the scanner for answers?"
"Oh… well that's different… come in… but don't touch anything! You hear me? "
They entered Cyborgs room yet again, Raven headed straight for the scanner, while Beast Boy jumped about the room asking what each button did.
Cyborg began to get irritated with his constant questioning, and finally when Beast Boy said, "OoOoOoO! What's this shiny one do?"
Cyborg replied in a slightly annoyed voice, "It makes candy"
"Really!" Beast Boy pressed the button.
"NO!" Cyborg screamed.
All of a sudden, an alarm started to go off, lights started to blink and a computerized voice said, "LOCKDOWN! LOCKDOWN!"
Cyborg ran over, typed a few things, and within seconds everything stopped. Cyborg glared at Beast Boy.
"When I said don't touch anything, I meant it!"
"Don't be too hard on him Cyborg," Raven said. Cyborg was caught off guard at Raven's defense for Beast Boy and so was Beast Boy, until she said, "After all, he is Beast Boy."
Cyborg laughed and Beast Boy gave a small irritated frown, which turned into a smile, "Hey Raven, you've never used to make many jokes before, is my genius sense of humor rubbing off?"
Raven smiled but then realized he was right, "Darn it Funny go away!" Raven yelled in her head.
There was a laugh and then no more.
A little while later, Raven said, "I have the results of the scan, the bracelet was made from minerals only found on a mountain west of Jump City."
"Do you think we should attack now?" Beast Boy asked.
"No, we'll let Slade think we don't know where he is. We'll attack in a day or two, for now we should relax and take care of the other bad guys." Cyborg said, "Lets tell the others."
They left for the main room, Beast Boy and Raven were walking next to each other, they were having small talk again. This time not nervously. Cyborg noticed immediately that both Beast Boy and Raven were enjoying the talk. His smile was ear to ear.
As they neared the entrance to the main room they heard giggles. When they entered, what they saw made Cyborg's day.
There on the couch was Robin and Starfire, but not just stitting next to each other. Star was on Robins lap with her arms wrapped around his neck, and Robin had his hands around her waist.
Cyborg couldn't contain his laughter any longer; he burst into a laughing fit and began rolling on the floor.
Raven and Beast Boy just had huge grins on their faces.
Robin immediately pushed Starfire off onto the couch and said nervously, "And that's how you carry someone that's injured!"
Starfire looked at him puzzled, but caught on when he looked at her desperately, "Oh, very insightful friend Robin!'
"Well anyway guys, we came to discuss something with you. We know where Slade's hideout is, but we think we should lay low for a while before we attack him ." Cyborg said still trying to get over his laughing fit
"That's a good plan Cy," Robin observed, "We'll attack in three days exactly."
The team then went to their business. Star began to cook dinner, Robin began to make the plan of attack, Cy went back to his room, Beast Boy was also headed for his room, and Raven decided she should get some sleep.
(IN BEAST BOY'S ROOM)
When Beast Boy entered his room, he eyed to Photo Album. He wanted find out what else he had thought about Raven from the beginning, so he picked up the book.
There were pictures of bad guys they had put in jail, more pictures from some of the days at the park, he began to wonder when he had ever taken these pictures, he didn't remember having a camera, but decided not to think much of it because chances are he had a camera and just didn't remember (plus the author doesn't want to make it hard for herself). He turned the page.
On that page in a big heading said Terra, there were pictures of her everywhere on the page. He didn't want to relive these memories, so he turned to the page.
There again, at the Top of the page was Terra with little stars around it, more pictures of her except the mostly consisted of he and Beast Boy alone.
He turned it again, there at the top was written Terra this time small hearts surrounded it. More pictures of him and her together. Mostly hugging or laughing.
Then at the top of the of the next page was written Terra surrounded by huge hearts, stars and swirls. The pictures were of her and Beast Boy cuddling, holding hands, or any other mushy thing.
He dropped the book as if it had hurt him. He hated having those pictures in there, yet he didn't want to throw them away. Staring at the book on the floor, he decided to see what was on next few pages.
The next few pages basically explained the whole Terra thing, right up to point where she turned into to stone. Beast Boy thought there wasn't anything more in the book, but he turned to page.
There was a picture of him sitting on the couch, he looked sad, like he had been crying. Next to him on the couch was Raven, she had a troubled look on her face. She was staring at Beast Boy, and holding out a plate of Tofu. He smiled.
All across this page were pictures of his friends trying to cheer him up, but they mostly consisted of Raven.
He turned back to the Terra pages, looking at them with eyes filled with hatred. He ripped out the pages that said he loved her. All that was left of the Terra pages was her arrival and her betrayal. He took the other pages and threw them in the trash.
He closed the album. He was glad he'd thrown the pictures of "her" away. He could move on to the future now. He had let go.
Now he could focus on other important things in his life, like a certain violet haired girl.
I'm really not happy with this chapter; I didn't think it was very good, if you didn't think so too, tell me please. Nicely though, it's hard for me not to take it personally. Oh and with specifics on why you didn't like it so I can improve. I tweaked this chapter a lot. Also sorry for those who wanted action in this chapter, I promise the next chapters will be full of it.
Please R&R. Thank you.
