Chapter Five: Worth It in the End
He woke up to find everyone surrounding him in the common room. "Wha-what's everybody doing here?" he asked sleepily.
"We wanted to tell you how proud we are of you, friend Blyrric!" said Starfire.
"Yeah," said Erin. "Those winds would have been hard for even me to fly. But you made it Blyrric. On your first real flight, you made it!"
"How ya feelin' little buddy?" asked Cyborg?
"Like I just went through a car wash with no car! Every muscle in my body hurts." He sighed. "But in the end, it was all worth it."
Robin got up. "Blyrric, I have something to tell you." He cleared his throat. "Blyrric, you put yourself beyond your limits. When the going got tough, you kept going anyway. And you're the best friend we all could ask for. So I ask you one question: How'd you like to be a Teen Titan?"
Blyrric was overjoyed. His doubts and worries washed away at those words. "I'd love to, Robin! More than anything else!"
Robin smiled. "Then you're going to need this." He held out a grren leather collar, just his size. Where the dog tag should be, there was a Teen Titans communicator. Robin put it around Blyrric's neck. Blyrric held the communicator in his paw. He couldn't belive it! He was a real Teen Titan! Those happy thoughts lasted through him the entire day.
Then, Blyrric thought about all these past events; his asking Beast Boy to teach him to fly, Erin accepting to be his teacher, Raven's offer of help, his rejection of that help, Raven telling the others off, flying back, landing, and becoming a real Teen Titan! Cuold anything else matter? he thought as he drifted off to sleep.
