This first chapter starts out very strange. Please don't stop reading it because of that- all will be explained further in this chapter. Me no own Titans.
Return From Stone
Chapter 1: Those Dreams
Beast Boy glanced/stared at Raven. She always seems so peaceful and calm when she is reading. They were alone in the Titans Tower Living Room; it seemed like the perfect time to do the thing he'd been wanting to do forever.
"Hey, Raven, can I tell you something?" Beast Boy asked.
"Do I really have a choice?" Raven countered, not even bothering to look up from her book.
"Ye- no, not really. Wanna go out on a date? Please don't throw me out a window if the answer is no," Beast Boy added as an afterthought.
"You want to go out with me? Yes, I definitely accept," Raven answered, barely able to suppress her excitement.
The living room doors opened and Terra ran through them.
"Beast Boy! Cyborg found a cure for me! I'm alive again!" Terra exclaimed.
"Terra? I can't believe it!" Beast Boy also exclaimed.
"And enter choice number one," Raven said, "So I take it the date is cancelled?"
"No- Raven-" said Beast Boy.
"What? You're dating Raven now!"
"Yes. NO! Well, um..." Beast Boy stammered.
"You either are or you aren't. You have a crush on Terra, just go out with her," Raven told him, unable to keep the hurt out of her voice.
"But I have a crush on you!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"I KNEW IT!" Terra screamed. "I knew you didn't like me anymore!"
"Wait, Terra! I have a crush on you too!"
"So you like both of us," Raven said.
Suddenly, some clouds rolled through the room revealing the changed scenery: the three teens were each on a pillar in the middle of... somewhere. (A.N. Raven had nothing to do with this.)
"Beast Boy you have to choose. You can only have one of us," Raven stated. Beast Boy started thinking, it hurt a lot.
"Beast Boy, choose me. I loved you first!" Terra said.
"I was friends with him before he had even met you!" Raven argued with Terra.
"Yeah, and as you said, it took a year for you to get used to him."
"Whereas it took you less then a month to try to kill us all, TRAITOR!"
"WITCH!"
"DUMB-BLONDE!" Both girls' eyes glowed then faded. The sound of crumbling rocks was heard.
"That can't be good." (Terra)
The girls columns started leaning dangerously. Both girls held on to the edges of their column, but the pillars kept leaning.
"Terra! Raven! Use your powers!" Beast Boy commanded.
"We can't!" Terra responded.
"Beast Boy, you have to save one of us. Choose now!"
Both columns snapped simultaneously, throwing both girls down to the death that waited below.
"Beast Boy! HELP! AAHHH!" Both girls screamed as they disappeared into the mist. He had to choose. Either he saves one or he loses both.
Beast Boy turned into a Pterodactal and flew to save--
Beast Boy suddenly woke up. He having one of those dreams again. He hated those dreams- they made him think too much. Actually, they were more like nightmares. These dreams had been in his mind ever since Terra... They started coming more often once Trigon brought out his Dark Side and his Dark Side said, "No wonder Terra dumped you." The worst part was his dream was pretty much correct: he had no idea who he would choose if he could only save one. Every time Beast Boy passed by Terra's room he'd immediately shut up and become depressed.
His love life was doomed. Out of the two girls he loved, he couldn't be with either. Raven hated him very much and would probably throw him out a window if he asked her out. Terra did like him, but she was now a statuette and unable to do anything at all. His dream wasn't all bad.
'Did widdle Beastie Boo have bwad dweam?' BB's Dark Side said in mock baby talk. Beast Boy was sure his Dark Side was responsible for the nightmares.
"Just shut up," Beast Boy sighed. Beast Boy hadn't even known he had a Dark Side before Trigon came. It wasn't that he thought he was perfect, it was just that dark sides are supposed to be serious, evil, and dark- Beast Boy is SO NOT serious, not evil (sure he pranks his fellow Titan's constantly, but it's all for fun), and NOT dark.
Seeing as laying down wouldn't bring Terra alive or cause Raven to miraculously fall in love with him, so Beast Boy dragged himself out of bed.
"You are up early," Raven said, not even looking up from her book as he walked through the door and into the Titans' Tower Living Room. The only one in there was Raven.
"I had a bad dream," Beast Boy irritably replied (to him, 6:30 a.m. was classified as still being nightime). Beast Boy noticed he was alone with Raven. That meant Cyborg wasn't with them. "Where's-Cyborg?" Beast Boy interrogated when he realized the afore mentioned facts.
"In the garage, fixing the T-car, which you 'borrowed' to show off to some blondes and then broke," Raven answered, wondering why Beast Boy was acting so strange. She guessed he had broken something else of Cyborgs or had done something that would make Cyborg mad.
"Oh, yeah... Er- I probably should've learned to drive first, huh?"
"Ya think?"
"Not if I can avoid it."
Raven rolled her eyes. At that moment Robin and Starfire walked in.
"... and that is the secret to time traveling," Starfire told Robin. She noticed Raven and Beast Boy alone in the same room. "Oh! Friends, I am most apologetic! Am I doing the 'interrupting'?"
"NO!" Raven and Beast Boy shouted. A lamp was covered in a black aura and then erupted. Raven had no idea why she had suddenly became so nervous, but she knew it had something to do with Beast Boy. Wait a second, why would anything to do with Beast Boy- except him driving a car- make her nervous?
"If that is what you say, friends," Starfire replied. "I will now cook pancakes like friend Raven's! They were most delicious!" She went to the kitchen. Robin started scanning the newspaper for leads on Slade.
"We're all going to starve," Raven said while still reading her book.
Cyborg was still working on the T-car, so Beast Boy was bored. "I'm bored. Very bored. Still bored. Not at all entertained. Miae eryvae oredbae," Beast Boy told them. The three teens just ignored him hoping it would shut him up.
And Beast Boy will continue annoying them in the next chapter. Terra will also really be in that chapter. Chore time for me. Yay.
