Chapter 7

Beast Boy woke up, yawning. He sat up, looking out his window. He was thinking of all the good times he had had with Terra. He thought of when they first met. She was running for her life from a giant scorpion. Eventually, she lured it into a trap, and destroyed it. Then his mind wandered to when she came back to join the team. Her and Raven were constantly bickering. But in the end, Terra gained her trust. Then he remembered when he went on the date with Terra. He almost kissed her on the Ferris wheel! That is, until Slade appeared. After their little duel, he found out the truth. Terra was secretly working for Slade. When he commented that Terra had no friends, she subsumed to the dark side.

He stopped his thoughts there. He couldn't bare to think about her death. Each time he remembered, he was filled with sorrow. Tears ran down his face. He stood up, put his shoes on, and went to Cyborg's room. He slid the door open, and found Cyborg sound asleep.

"Great," Beast Boy muttered.

He turned around to walk out the door, when Cyborg woke up. Cy got off his metallic bed, and walked over to Beast Boy. He put a hand on his shoulder, and Beast Boy jumped. He whirled around, then sighed.

"Dude, quit scaring me!"

"Sorry, man. Are you ready?"

"I've been ready since the day she died."

Cyborg went over to his night table, picked up the remote, and handed it to Beast Boy.

"See this button her?" He pointed to the button with the 'C' on it. "This is the cloaking button. If you point the antenna at the Time Machine, it will make it visible and vise versa. You try."

Beast Boy pointed the remote at the air, and pressed the cloaking button. The Time Machine appeared before his eyes.

"Ok, now what?"

Cy pointed to the plate with all of the numbers and letters.

"Here's the alphanumeric plate. You type in the date and destination," he walked over to the Time Machine," then insert the remote in here."

"Ok, so, it was the year 2004, at Pam's steakhouse."

He typed in the numbers and letters and put the remote into its mold. It instantly lit up.

"Ok..."

"Aight, now go inside, and take a seat."

Beast Boy opened the curtains and sat down on the bench.

"Look here. This is the confusing part. You have to pull these levers in the correct order. Silver, black, purple, blue, then yellow. But before you do that, you have to remember something else."

"What?"

"If you touching anyone in the future, it will destroy the boundaries between both times."

"Huh?"

"It means that the time between the point that you leave, and from wherever you touch will be lost."

"Ok...won't be trying to do that..."

"Good, now pull the levers."

Beast Boy followed the coordinates, and the room became very cold and windy.

"Dude! What's happening?" he yelled over the roars of the wind.

"Good luck, man. Good luck." Cyborg said calmly.

Beast Boy's eyes opened wide, as he looked forward. The Time Machine began to rumble, and then it crashed. Beast Boy flew forward. Blood trickled down his forehead. He touched his wound and winced. He wiped the blood off with his pants and stepped outside. He pulled the remote out of the mold and pushed the cloaking button. The Time Machine instantly became invisible. He put the remote in his pant pocket. Soon after, he realized he was in the men's room. He opened the door and walked into the hallway. A kid came up to him.

"Hi!" he said optimistically.

"Hi?"

"Can I ask you something Mr. Beast Boy?"

"Fine, but make it quick."

"How can you be over there with that blonde girl and over here at the same time?"

Beast Boy peered past the wall and noticed Terra and himself eating pie. He had to think up something quick.

"Are you a fan of the Titans?"

"Totally. I'm Cyborg's number 1 fan!"

Ok, well...uh...Cy made a clone of me. That's it over there."

"Cool! Um, if it's no trouble, can I get your autograph? I'm trying to get signatures from all of the Titans."

The kid took out his piece of paper and pen.

"Ok. Where do you want me to sign?"

"Right there, next to Cyborg's."

Beast Boy took the pen and paper. Just before he signed his name, he looked back at the kid.

"How did you get Cyborg's signature?"

"He was here a few minutes ago."

"What was he doing?"

"Well, he told me not to tell anyone that he was here, but he said he was on a 'Secret Mission'."

"Thanks, kid."

He signed the paper and the kid went into the bathroom. Beast Boy watched as Terra and himself ate pie. He saw Terra stand up to go to the bathroom, and panicked. He quickly transformed into a cockroach. Terra walked passed him. As she entered the women's room, he regained human form. He quickly walked over to where his past self was sitting and sat next to him. The Past Beast Boy looked at him, eyes wide.

"Are you...?"

"Yeah, I'm you. Three years in the future."

"But...but how?"

"No time to explain. I've got to tell you some important news. If all goes well, it will alter the future."

"O...ok. What is it?"

"Do you trust Terra?"

"With my life."

"Good. Keep up that trust. Now, I'm going to tell you some secrets about her. The ones that she's been keeping from you."

"We don't keep secrets from each other, though."

"So you say. Look, don't be alarmed when I tell you this. Terra is working for Slade."

Past Beast Boy burst into laughter.

"Ha ha. Very funny. Dude, I gotta stop playing video games."

"Dude! You gotta listen! Let me finish! After you guys leave this restaurant, she's going to take you to the carnival. You guys will go on the Ferris Wheel and almost- Ugghhh! The thought of it will make me cry!"

"Please! Please tell me!"

"Ok. You guys almost kiss, but Slade ruins it. He was sitting in the same kart as us."

"Sweet! Terra and I kiss!"

"ALMOST. Anyway, you guys will run into the house of mirrors and have a little chat."

"What's the chat about?"

"Well, Terra says to Slade 'Don't hurt my friend', then Slade says' Dear child, you don't have any friends.'"

"Then what?"

"Then you get really pissed and tell her that she has no friends. That's what makes her fully turn to the dark side."

"Woah."

"So, will you help me?"

"How?"

"Tell Terra that you know that she's bad, but you have to convince her not to work for Slade anymore."

"Ok. I think I can handle that."

"Good. I gotta get outta here before she comes back."

Beast Boy stood up to leave, when Past Beast Boy stopped him.

"Wait! How is stopping Terra from working for Slade gunna alter the future?"

"Because... she kills Slade with the cost of her own life."

Past Beast Boy's face became dreary.

"Oh, I'm sorry, dude."

Beast Boy smiled.

"If all goes well, I won't need to be."

"Ok, I'll try my hardest to make my future brighter."

Beast Boy nodded and turned into a fly. He landed on the counter and waited. Terra finally returned from the bathroom. She grabbed Past Beast Boy's hand and started pulling him towards the door.

"Wait!" he yelled.

Terra stopped abruptly.

"What?"

"We need to talk."

"About what?"

"You. I know your secret."

"What secret?"

"Don't deny it, Terra. I know that you're working for Slade.

"NO! How did you find out?"

"No time to explain. We've got to get back to the Tower."

"Um...I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Why not?"

"Well, Slade sent about 200 armed robots into the Tower to destroy your friends. Hehe."

"He did? Why didn't Future Beast Boy tell me that?"

"Who's Future Beast Boy?"

Out of no where, a green fly flew over them. It began to take human form. When the transformation was complete, Future Beast Boy stood in front of them.

"You rang?"

Terra looked at both Beast Boys.

"Um...how can there be two of you at once?"

Future Beast Boy ignored her.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that."

"What was the out come?" Past Beast Boy asked.

"We finally defeated them, but Terra had already gone evil before I got back."

Terra was in shock.

"You mean, I turn evil?"

"And you die because of it. I love you Terra. Please listen to me. You two have to get back to the Tower and help the other Titans."

Past Beast Boy and Terra nodded.

"Thanks, dude. You saved me from the nothing I would've become." (Hehe. I love Evanescence.)

"Your welcome. And if you listen to what I said, I'll see you in the future, Terra."

Past Beast Boy reached out to shake Beast boy's hand, but he jerked it away.

"Don't!"

"Dude, I just wanted to shake your hand!"

"I totally appreciate that, but Cyborg said if we touch, it will destroy the boundaries between our times."

"What does that mean?"

"If we touch, the point from where I left and now will be lost forever."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's ok. Now, I have to get going. I'll see you guys around."

Past Beast Boy and Terra waved good-bye, as Beast Boy hurried back to the bathroom. He took the remote out from his pocket and pushed the cloaking button. The Time Machine reappeared. Beast Boy stepped in, and vanished in green smoke.
