A/N: I do not own the Teen Titans. (Though I wouldn't mind owning Terra either.)

Chapter V.

Beast boy watched the sunrise. He always liked the sunrise. Inside him the different animal impulses always seemed to be more balanced at sunrise. The nocturnal beasts would just be settling down and the diurnal beasts would just be waking up. He sat watching the some come up on a brand new day over Titans tower. Last night had been pretty exciting. It had been so exciting that Beast boy hadn't been able to sleep.

After they had rescued Terra from the stone, they had all raced back into the tower to get her to the medical bay. She had been severely dehydrated. Beast boy had stayed with her until Cyborg had suggested that they all get some rest and that they should let her sleep.

Raven, Robin, and Starfire had all set out for somewhere saying they were going to set some ground rules about something called a kundogi. Beast boy didn't have any idea what that was, but he wished them luck all the same. It was going to be a few days before Raven was going to have her powers back so hopefully they'd have it worked out by then.

Terra was now back in his life and while this didn't necessarily mean that his love life was going to be any easier, it definitely meant that he'd have more to think about along those lines.

Terra had betrayed them to Slade and then she had sacrificed herself to stop Slade. There was going to be a lot of mending that had to be done in order to set things right between the two of them, but for the first time in a long time Beast boy felt optimistic, blame it on the sunrise.

The door opened and Beast boy heard someone walking towards him.

"Hi Terra." He said without looking.

"How did you know it was me?" Terra said looking down.

"Being able to transform into animals isn't really my only power." Beast boy said watching the sunrise. "My senses are slightly more acute than normal, even when I'm in my human form. I can recognize your smell from everyone else's. You still smell nice."

Terra didn't move from where she stopped. "I was wondering something."

"Shoot." Beast boy said relaxing.

"Why?" Terra said quietly.

"Why what?" Beast boy countered.

"Why didn't you give up on me?" Terra said sadly. "Even before I was frozen in stone, you never gave up on me. Even though I betrayed you. I just wanted to know why."

"People do crazy things when they're in love." Beast boy said simply.

"You don't even know if I really return your feelings. You risked it all on a hope and a prayer." Terra said in disbelief.

"How you felt didn't change how I felt Terra. Even if you never returned my love, it would have been worth it. Raven said something to that effect. We're all family. Everybody in the tower has been alone in their life. They've always wanted to belong somewhere. Not just to belong as a super hero, but to belong as a person. From my silly jokes, to Raven's herbal tea, we all have our own quirks that we want others to accept and even appreciate." Beast boy turned to Terra. "You know I won't try to stop you if you want to leave again."

"I wouldn't feel right if I did." Terra said almost crying.

Terra rushed forward and Beast boy grabbed her in her arms. "Beast boy it was terrible. I was aware the entire time I was frozen. I had months to think about everything I had done. Nothing ever changed it was just never-ending darkness."

Terra looked up into his eyes and almost chuckled. "I'm probably going to sleep with a night light for the rest of my life."

Beast boy smiled. "Don't worry, I still do too."

The two of them laughed for a moment as Terra relaxed into his arms. "The only thing I remember with any happiness is you coming to put fresh flowers on the statue. At first I was depressed because they would always die, but you never stopped coming to bring me new ones. I only wish I could have smelled them."

"Don't worry. I have a permanent account with the florist now. He delivers to the tower regularly." Beast boy said smiling. "Terra, I'm not going to be silly enough to believe that we're not going to have our issues to work through, but will you stay. I mean stay her with me, with us, for as long as you can."

"I don't know Beast boy. I do know one thing though." Terra said affectionately.

"What's that?"

"If I do go anywhere, I'll want you to go with me." She said looking up into his eyes.

"We better go back inside." Beast boy said quietly.

"Not just yet." Terra said softly. "I haven't seen the sun for quite some time. I'd like to stay here and enjoy it for a little longer with you."

Cyborg unhooked himself from the power supply and headed for the living room. Sensors indicated Terra was on the roof with Beast boy and he guessed they didn't want to be disturbed. Everyone else was in the living room.

"Whose turn is it to fix breakfast?" Cyborg said as he entered the living room.

There stood Robin flipping pancakes with an apron around him looking like he was ready to be sick. On the couch the game station had been fired up and Starfire and Raven were battling with all their might at SCARF: Gold.

"Uh, did the Puppet King strike again while I was sleeping?" Cyborg asked the apron clad boy wonder.

"No." Robin said miserably. "Since Raven's powers are burned out their battling for… kundogi rights."

"What the heck is a kundogi?" Cyborg asked.

"Don't ask. Just, don't ask." Robin said with a smirk on his face. "Just shut up and hand me the mustard."
