The Journey Home

Chapter five: Missing You

Beast Boy walked on down the dirt road for what seemed like (and probably was) hours. "Dude," he said to himself, "This road sure is long, it's getting dark, and I'm getting

tired. I haven't slept in a while. I need to find someplace to crash." Just then Beast Boy came across an old abandoned barn. "This is as good a place as any." He walked through

the doors and looked around. He then climbed up the ladder into the loft. "Nice view," he said as he looked at the now darkened sky. Tonight there was only a single star shining

in the sky. Beast Boy looked at it and sighed reminded that he was also alone.

BB: One little star

All alone in the sky

Do you ever get lonely As the twilight drifts by?

Meanwhile, the others (minus Raven) had set up camp on the side of the road.

Starfire began to sing for Beast Boy as he was like her brother.

Star: One little star

In the darkening blue

Do you long for another Just the way that I do?

"Don't worry Star," said Robin, "We'll find him." In yet another part of the open road, Raven too felt the need to sing for her Beast Boy.

Rae: Sky begins to fill

Darkness ends the day

Someone who I love

Is far away

Star: One little star

Reaching far through the night

Do you shine on my someone?

Are we sharing your light?

Oh, one little star

Shine on us both tonight

"I do hope friend Beast Boy is alright," said a saddened Starfire. Beast Boy was still looking up at the star. "I wish Star was here to sing a non-Tamaranian song, or Cy was here

with the gamestation, but especially Raven so we could be together. I wonder what they're doing tonight?"

BB: One little star

Star, Rae: One little star

BB: Reaching far through the night

Star, Rae: Reaching far through the night

BB: Won't you shine on my someone?

Star, Rae: Shine on my someone

BB: So we're sharing your light

Star: Oh please, share your light

Rae: Ah ah ah ah

All: Oh, one little star

Shine on us all

Tonight

The next morning, Beast Boy was walking down the road again, when a van came driving up and out jumped Ms. Jay. "Garfield!" Beast Boy ran into the fields of hay and corn to

disappear. Ms. Jay looked around, but saw no trace of him. She didn't see a green dragonfly flying as fast as it could to get away from there. When he finally stopped to rest he

saw a sign in front of him saying he was in the town of Smallville, Kansas. "Dude, I can't believe I'm here. I wonder if Super's here too." He looked around and saw the van

again, so he started to run. He came across a carnival where he spotted who must have been the owner. "Hey buddy, can I hide in the tent? There's this lady after me." "Sure

thing, me boy. In fact, there's a special hiding cube in there that also has a gamestation. You'll be safe there." "Cool!" BB replied as he ran inside into the strange looking cube.

After several minutes had passed, he asked, "I'm sure she's gone. Can I get out of this thing now?" What's the matter?" replied the owner, "Don't you like your cage, me

ducky?" The owner faded and there stood Mad Mod. "How did you do that?" "With the very thing your metal friend invented. These hologram rings are quite handy. They

certainly worked in getting you all the way here. Isn't that right, Miss Jay? Or should I say Jinx?" The social worker was indeed the pink haired sorceress in a holographic

disguise. Beast Boy morphed to a rhino and slammed into the walls of the cube. "Try all you like, little chum, but it'll do you no good. That cube is made of the same thing as my

chairs that withheld your powers the first time we met. You don't even need air holes to breath so no risk of you changin' into a bit of a bug to escape. This whole set up was to

get rid of you ya know. Your 'family' were robots, the town created thanks to my machines, and the house you stayed in was hand built by the H.I.V.E. students just to stop you

and your team. Now we're going to earn extra cash by showing you off at this 'ere carnival. We'll even make you a different color. Sure your friends might find you, but they'll

never rescue you!" The Hive Five came in just then. "Did you put up the signs?" "Roger that, sir!" replied Private Hive. "Well done, my duckies, let the show begin!" Mad Mod

finished off with an evil laugh.
