People who like Terra, do not read this chapter either. Otherwise you will waste your time and energy throwing things at your computer and sending me hate mail.

This one's kinda short. Sorry 'bout that. They should be getting longer sooner. I hope. Anyway, I don't own Teen Titans. So on with the story that is a figment of my Titans-filled imagination!!


Kori fought her way through the crowd of people, using the shrieking giggles as her clues to find Terra and the boy named Rocket. The farther she went into this crowd, the more disgusted she was by some of these people's actions.

Pushing these unpleasant sights into the back of her mind, Kori kept on walking, her destination planted firmly into her head.

When she reached it, however, she thought she might throw up.

Terra and Rocket were dancing in what could be considered the normal teenage way, had they not been attached by the mouth. The two had their bodies so close together Kori was bewildered on how they managed to stay upright.

Kori tried to ignore this new and unpleasant side of her friend, and cleared her throat loudly.

"Terra," she said sternly.

With a sound much like a plunger being pulled from a toilet, Terra extracted herself from Rocket and stepped over to Kori, saying, "This'll only take a sec."

"No it won't just take a sec," Kori said, putting a hand on her hip. "What was all that about?"

"All what?" Terra asked, faking a look of surprise.

"Cut the crap, Terra," Kori frowned. "What was up with all that back there?"

"Oh come on, you didn't actually think I liked Gar!" Terra exclaimed, giving Kori a look that made her want to shrink. "He's an idiot."

"Oh yeah, well the 'idiot' liked you," Kori said loudly. "We all did. Then you just use him to get to someone else. If you had a heart, Terra, you would have thought twice once you saw the look on his face."

"Did I make the poor wittle baby cry?" Terra said sarcastically. "Well it doesn't take much to cheer a teenage guy up. Just find him a girl and he'll have forgotten about me by tomorrow. Now, if you'll excuse me," She turned back to Rocket, but Kori grabbed her arm.

"I'm not finished!" Kori was shouting by now. "I thought I knew you Terra! The Terra I know would never do anything like that! She would never have used someone just to get to someone else. And even if the Terra I know had considered it, she would have never gone through."

Terra scoffed.

"Terra, you're my best friend!" Kori pleaded, clasping her hands around both of Terra's wrists. "We've known each other since kindergarten. We've told each other everything for ten years! I've told you everything! Why couldn't you trust me enough to tell me about him? Why did you keep it a secret?"

"Why did I keep it a secret?" Terra asked, laughing. "Look at you now! Not even giving him a chance. I knew you'd think that Rocket's nothing more than gum on the bottom of your shoe. That's why I never told you."

"Terra, I have nothing against him," Kori felt her anger getting the best of her. "It's you I have the problem with. You're the one who made Gar feel like he was floating at the top of the sky. Imagine for one second that that had been you with your dream guy. You think he's the one for you, then you find out he was acting the whole time, just to get at someone else. Put yourself in his shoes for just a second, then tell me you did nothing wrong."

"You're wasting my time, Kori," Terra said impatiently. "I think it's time you went back to your dear Robbie-wobbie."

"I'll tell you when it's time for me to leave," Kori yelled, jabbing Terra in the shoulder with her finger. "And it's not now. I haven't finished with you yet. Doesn't anything bother you? Does anyone in your life matter?"

"Of course," Terra said, finally dropping her sarcastic tone to speak seriously. "My friends matter to me. My family matters."

"What friends?" Kori asked, crossing her arms.

"Well, you matter," Terra was beginning to feel uncomfortable. "Look, I'm really sorry I didn't tell you about Rocket. I shouldn't have expected the worst out of you."

"I don't even see why you did expect me to act like that," Kori said. "When was the last time I had a grudge against anyone?"

"Never," Terra admitted. "Okay, Okay, so I misjudged you. I'm sorry."

"Terra, I don't even know why that crossed your mind. We've known each other for ten years. You know everything about me. What more do you need to know to figure out that I don't hold grudges?"

"I'm sorry, Kori," Terra hung her head and spoke quietly to the floor. "I promise never to keep secrets from you again."

"But you're still not sorry for what you did!" Kori excalimed, raising and lowering her arms in disbelief. "I don't care about my feelings. What about Gar's feelings? Are you ever gonna apologize to him?"

"Look, Kori, I really don't think –"

"That's right," Kori said, shaking her head. "You didn't think. Because if you had, you would have known that hurting my friend's feelings hurts me too. You would have thought about everyone else there who was watching you use Gar to make yourself happy. And you would have realized that it would matter to us."

"To all of us."

Kori turned around. Their entire group, minus Garfield and Vic, were standing behind her, their arms crossed, all frowning at Terra. Raven was standing the closest to Kori, and it had been she that had spoken. Out of the seven that were frowning, Raven's frown was the deepest and her eyes held the most hostility.

"OK," Terra said, looking a bit scared now. "I'm sorry."

"No you're not," Kori felt her eyes begin to water. "If you were, I would be able to see it."

"But I am," Terra pleaded, but her face did not match her tone of voice. Although her voice sounded weak and sorry, her face did not look sorry at all.

"No," Kori said, shaking her head. "You're not sorry at all. You've been my best friend for ten years. I know you enough to see when you're sorry and when you're not. And you know when I'm sorry and when I'm not. So now you'll know that I am not sorry when I say that you are not my best friend anymore." Kori took a few steps backward to join the group, a tear running down her cheek. "They are my best friends. Goodbye, Terra."

Kori turned her back on Terra, and led the group back to where they had been standing before, away from all the people who were dancing in an inappropriate way.

Kori was immediately bombarded with compliments.

"She SO deserved that, Star!" Jinx shouted while jumping up and down.

"You were awesome!" Garth said loudly, jumping up and down as well.

"That was amazing Kori," Robin said, taking her hand and kissing it. Kori blushed as he did this, but felt a growing sensation of happiness rise up in her.

"Yeah," Raven extracted herself from the crowd, coming into their spot a good minute after everyone and looking pleased. "That was amazing." Kori looked at Raven suspiciously. She noticed that Raven cracked the knuckles on her right hand, but other than that, she was acting no differently than she had been before.

I'll let your imaginations fill in the missing pieces here. I didn't want any violence between Kori and Terra, but I'm more lenient when it comes to Raven and Terra. And remember, I never said what Raven did. She might have hit her hand on something other than Terra's swelling lip… You never know.
