Hey all! This is just a one-shot for now, but it might turn into more later. first I want to see if you think it needs continuing. I have a couple ideas up my sleeve, but if you guys don't think so, this can easily stand on it's own. Anyways, read and enjoy!

disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, or the song "You are my Sunshine"

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear,
as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
but when I woke, dear,
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Beast Boy was tossing and turning in his sleep. His eyes were shut tight, his hands were clutching his pillow, and he had sweat rolling down the side of his face. For weeks now, Beast Boy had been haunted by nightmares of the weirdest kind. He longed in the morning to tell his friends about them, but he could never bring up the courage. 'They'd only laugh at you' he would tell himself. Still he wished he could tell someone, anyone, about the thoughts that were visiting his mind every night. Beast Boy turned on his stomach and moaned into his pillow.

(Dream)

Beast Boy walked into the stony prison that had become a burial ground. He visited here a lot, to reflect, to relax. As he walked in he saw the lava frozen in mid-flow, the rocks that had been falling were now still. The whole cave seemed to be petrified. Everything had been perfectly preserved. It was like time had stopped. It was so peaceful, yet so terrifying at the same time. Beast Boy rounded the corner and stared into the dome that held his frozen princess. But as he looked to where Terra's statue had been, there was nothing there. He quickly did a double take and ran up to the missing monument. The plaque was old and chipped and the roses that they had left were torn apart and scattered about the ground. Beast Boy looked frantically around him, confused.

"Terra?" Beast Boy said, in a panic. He knew no one could hear him, but still he called. "Terra, where are you?" Behind him, he felt a tap on the shoulder and turned. Before him stood Terra. Smiling as if nothing was wrong, as if she hadn't been imprisoned in a stone for... as long as she had. Beast Boy stood, stunned, staring at her. Her blue eyes were twinkling and her golden hair was curved perfectly around her angelic face. She was more beautiful than he remembered. Beast Boy tried to mutter out something, anything, but nothing would come.

"What's wrong with you?" Terra said with a light giggle. "You look like you've seen a ghost or something!"

"H-How...?" Beast Boy managed to choke out before Terra grabbed him by the arm.

"Come on! Let's go out! It's so dry in here!" Terra turned and ran out of the cave, dragging Beast Boy along with her. He couldn't believe what was happening to him. As strange as Terra was behaving, he decided he should just be happy. Terra was back with him again.

The two teens emerged from Slade's old lair and ran to the Jump City park. Terra was laughing as she ran, as if she were a five-year old running to get ice cream, her laughs soaking up the life that was now filling the empty void that she had been before. Beast Boy only followed, laughing along with her. All of his shock had subsided and now he thought he had never been happier in his life.

Terra and Beast Boy reached the park in no time. Terra flopped down on the grass by a giant oak tree and Beast Boy did the same. They sat together for a long time, talking and laughing, watching the clouds pass by, watching other love struck teens walk around the park together. Suddenly Terra sighed and set her head on Beast Boy's shoulder, closing her eyes. Beast Boy felt her against him and slowly placed his hand around her shoulders. She was so thin. Beast Boy broke the silence.

"I can't believe you're really here." He said quietly. Terra lifted her head from his shoulder to look him in the eyes.

"What do you mean?" She asked innocently.

"Well, what I mean is," Beast Boy said, stuttering a bit as he went, "You've been... well, you know... for so long, I mean– How do I know this is even happening? Are you even real?"

Terra looked at Beast Boy sadly. She took his hand in hers and lifted it to her face, placing it gently on her cheek..

"W-What are you doing?" Beast Boy asked.

"See? I'm real, aren't I?" Terra said in almost a whisper. Beast Boy thought for a minute and took his hand out of Terra's. He took off his glove and touched Terra's face with his hand, just to make sure. He could feel her warmth, her fair peach skin against his green, calloused hand.

"You are." Beast Boy said, tears coming to his eyes. Terra looked at him and smiled.

"Don't cry" Terra whispered. She brought her face to meet his and kissed him. Beast Boy had been waiting for this to happen for so long, that the touch brought shivers down his spine and he was surprised at the spark that he had felt when her lips brushed against his. Beast Boy brought his hand up and brushed the hair from Terra's face. He set his hand gently on the back of her neck and suddenly pulled back in alarm. He could see his hand on her skin, but he couldn't believe what he felt.

"Beast Boy, what's wrong?" Terra said, alarmed.

"You're– You're so cold!" Beast Boy said, having trouble getting the words out.

"What?" Terra whispered in disbelief. She lifted her hand to the back of her neck. But she had to gasp at what she felt. She was ice cold.

"TERRA, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU?" Beast Boy suddenly yelled, backing away. Terra brought her hand to feel her face. She cried out in horror. She knew where her face should be, but all she could feel was stone. Suddenly Terra froze, her eyes in a state of shock. She fell, her back colliding against the tree behind her.

"Terra!" Beast Boy watched in horror as the girl of his dreams became a cold, lifeless, stone statue again. Her feet were rock up to her knees and her hands were icy stone up to her shoulders, and her face was petrified as it slowly turned to ash grey. "SOMEBODY HELP!" Beast Boy cried at the top of his lungs to the passing citizens. He looked tragically at the children playing in the grass and the old couples walking with their canes. Nobody seemed to even notice. He ran to a passing man, he had on a suit and was carrying a briefcase. "Please, sir, my friend needs help!" He made a grab for the man's arm, but it merely slipped through his fingers like he was reaching for smoke. Beast Boy stood back in horror as the man walked away, paying no attention to him.

Beast Boy ran back to Terra, who was lying on the ground, her eyes open in terror. Almost all of her body was stone now.

"No, Terra! Don't do this! I can't lose you again!" Beast Boy knelt down to hold her in his arms once more, but he could no longer lift her. She had become so weighed down by the density of the stone that she was becoming once more, that she was almost impossible to move. A single tear fell from her eye before the darkness engulfed her. She lay perfectly still while Beast Boy only stared in horror.

(Real Life)

"TERRA!" Beast Boy sat up in his bed, covered in a cold sweat. He looked around frantically for something that wasn't there. He sat there for a few seconds before recognizing his own room. Beast Boy sighed, exhausted, and flopped down on his back. The sun was beaming in from his one, large window. Beast Boy opened his eyes wearily and glanced at his calendar.

"August 21st." Beast Boy whispered to himself. He tore his eyes away from the calendar, it was too painful to remember. Tears rolled down his cheek and onto his pillow, already stained from the sleepless nights he'd spent waiting for this day. A year ago that day, Terra had left his life.
