Beast Boy nearly fainted. He bent down to the dead Teen Titan to see if by chance she was still alive, just unconscious. He listened for a heartbeat. Nothing. He checked for a pulse. Nothing. Trembling, he realized he really had killed her.

Beast Boy's mind

Oh man! I killed her! Oh no oh no oh no!

Stop crying you baby. Panicking won't help.

What are Robin and the others say when they find out? They'll kick me out nevertheless kill me!

They aren't going to find out.

What do you mean?

You're going to hide it all. Pretend that nothing had happened.

How?

Lie. Hide the truth.

Lie? But…

So that's what you want, huh? Having your only friends find out the horrible truth and kick you out? Huh?

But… fine. I'll do it. But I'll need your help. I can't do it without you.

Thought so.

Beast Boy wasn't sure he wanted to lie to his friends and pretend that nothing had happened, but that was the only option. He opened his window and felt the nice, smooth breeze. He turned into a pterodactyl, grabbed the lifeless Goth by her shoulders and flew out the window, not looking back. He landed on a soft patch of soil. This is the perfect spot, he thought to himself. He knew what he had to do.

In the moonlight you would have seen a normal dog digging and digging. What you didn't see was that the dog was really Beast Boy digging a grave for Raven. The green teenager had found a blanket that was the perfect size for Raven. He gently dragged Raven into the hole, and then covered her with the green and black decorated bedspread. Teardrops stained the blanket, and Beast Boy silently filled up the hole, making sure it looked even, and like nothing had happened. He turned human, and he looked at the grave he created. He silently kneeled down on his knees and wept.

A few hours later he noticed the sun was coming up. He stared at it and realized how peaceful it was, and he smiled. Beast Boy suddenly frowned, realizing he hadn't smiled in a while. His thoughts were interrupted by a female's voice. "Friend Beast Boy, why are you not at the morning meal?" Morning meal? Oh… breakfast. Breakfast! Beast Boy realized he hadn't slept at all that night. He turned to face Starfire, a questioning look on her face. Beast Boy stuttered. "I've um, been… watching the sunrise." There. That wasn't necessarily a lie. Starfire looked at the sunrise. "Yes, it does look rather peaceful." However, she quickly grabbed his arm and flew towards the T shaped tower for breakfast.

Everyone was eating their breakfast, containing mostly bacon, ham, and eggs, meanwhile Starfire eating her weird Tameranian food. Beast Boy looked at everyone while silently fixing himself a tofu burrito. When would they find out the horrible truth? What would they do? How would they react?

"Beast Boy, have you seen Raven?" Robin curiously asked Beast Boy. Cyborg looked at the two boys. "Yeah man, it's 8:30 and we still haven't seen her!" Beast Boy was starting to panic. They know! I have to lie! "Um… she's uh… probably still asleep!" He was hoping they'd buy his story. Everybody always gets up at 6:30, and Raven would be 2 hours late… if she were alive, that is.

Breakfast was quiet… to quiet. Usually Beast Boy was starting the day with stupid, not funny jokes. Sooner or later the Titans would wonder why he was so quiet. "Yo BB, why are you so quiet? Haven't heard a joke or anything from you!" Beast Boy nervously looked at Cyborg. "I, uh… it's the movie. I mean, dudes, wasn't that like, the scariest movie ever?" Starfire nervously nodded, hiding behind Robin, still frightened by the horror movie. Cyborg agreed. "Yeah, it was so frightening, Raven nearly brought the house down!" Beast Boy rolled his eyes at Cyborg's lame joke. "Literally! And because of that, I didn't get any beauty sleep! So duh, I'm too tired!" Everybody agreed. Beast Boy sighed in relief. They believed him. After all, it wasn't a real lie.
