A/N: Well, it finally comes time to bid this fic a fond goodbye. It was fun to write, and what more can we ask of our work? I hope you enjoyed it, and also hope that this last offering meets your expectations.

When Beast Boy returned through the mirror Raven was just waking up. He made his way over to her bedside as her eyes fluttered open, and he smiled gently at her. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty, it's a bright new day!"

Raven blinked blearily at him. "You..."

He nodded.

She gaped. "And..."

Another nod.

Raven's expression was nothing less than shocked. "All by yourself?"

This time he shook his head in the negative. "I had help. Memory showed me what happened, Knowledge explained my course of action, and Timid led me to the dungeon."

The purple-haired girl sank back into her pillows. "I'm so, so sorry I put you through all this..."

Beast Boy laughed aloud, and her head jerked up. "What?" she snapped.

"Nothing," he replied, still chuckling lightly, "Apology accepted."

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "They didn't tell you anything embarrassing about me, did they?"

"No," he replied.

She heaved a sigh, deadpanning, "You probably know more about me than I do now."

He shook his head. "I'm sure I don't. Even so, I'm fine with what I do know."

"Why's that?" she asked curiously.

"Life's no fun without surprises." And with that, he slipped a hand around the back of her neck and kissed her. It was short and chaste, and when he drew back she was gazing at him with a strange look in her eyes. "That bad?" he asked, suddenly worried.

Raven laughed outright, ignoring the distant sound of something relatively valuable exploding into dust. "You're kidding, right?"

Beast Boy chucked in surprise, cocking his head happily. "No. I assure you that, for once, I am perfectly serious."

"Well then," she said, playing gently with his hair, "Let me be perfectly serious in saying that it wasn't bad at all."

"I love you, Raven."

It was out before he could stop it, and he immediately gritted his teeth in frustration. He didn't want to scare her away. But she just smiled again.

"I love you too." She pulled him down to her and he reveled in the course, dry feeling of her lips on his.

Downstairs the other Titans were returning from their treks out into the city, all empty-handed. Robin entered the room just in time to dodge the falling shards of a broken light bulb.

"Something must be bothering Raven," he said, and the three of them were off like shots. Starfire made it to Raven's door first, and peered around the frame into the room carefully.

She drew back, smiling gently to herself.

"What is it? What's going on?" Robin was practically twitching in impatience and irritation.

Starfire shook her head, taking his arm and leading him away from the door. "You would not understand. Suffice it to say that Raven is fine. More than fine. I think she is better than she has been in a long, long time."

Behind them, Cyborg glanced into the room covertly. He made his way back to the common room, grinning. Robin could have sworn he heard the half-man mutter "Go BB," under his breath, but it was probably just his imagination.

You have a lot to learn, child.

There's much that you don't know.

You have much land to travel,

And many seeds to sow.

But now as you return

From your journey, long and hard,

You've gained a mind beyond your years,

And with it, gained my heart.

-Vixie (yay me)
