Alas, yet another fanfic has come to an end. I dedicate this final chapter to Nightmare. There will be a sequel soon, I promise. I believe that its going to be called "A Shadow's Tale," or something like that. Yes, you will finally get the long-awaited background story for S. Enjoy this final chapter of Strange Happenings… wow, that sounds sooo sad. Well, im going to camp for two weeks tomorrow, so it will be awhile before I write again. Farewell, if only for a little while!

Chapter Thirteen: Angels and Demons

He was dead. He was sure that he was dead. Everything had gone black; isn't that what happens when you die?

Beast Boy…

Please…wake up… please wake up…

He even thought he heard an angel with purple eyes calling to him….

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When he had gone under, everything had changed. She dived after him.

Apparently she was more frightened then she thought, because as she dived into the water, there was a sound unlike anything she had ever heard before….

And the water started draining.

Seriously, it was getting lower.

She had pulled him back to the top, but that wasn't much of a feat; they were only in about five feet of water now.

As the last drained out through the crack in the wall that her out-of-control-emotions had created.

He was sprawled on the floor now, barely breathing.

"Beast Boy!" she cried. "Please… wake up…" her voice was becoming desperate and much to her surprise, she felt a lump in her throat.

"Please wake up…."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shadow and Nightmare were back in the Tower.

"YES!" N yelled triumphantly.

"WE BEAT THE SYSTEM!" S screamed back.

"WHOO-HOO!" they yelled in unison, giving each other a hi-five, which apparently was too hard, cause afterward they sank to their knees, laughing maniacally, in pain.

"So you guys finally decided to come back?" Robin asked.

"FRIENDS!" Starfire screamed, rushing over and strangling them in a rib-cracking hug.

"So, uh, where are BB and Raven?" Shadow asked after she had been released.

"Oh, yeah. We need your help with that…" Cy mumbled, embarrassed that it was his fault.

They were quickly filled in on what had happened, and they then yelled, "TO THE BASEMENT!" and began trooping down the stairs, the other three at their heels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was sure that he was dead, because he could have sworn that the angel had kissed him….

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His breathing was growing shallower by the second.

Then, she remembered the basic first aid that they had all been taught soon after they moved into the Tower. Raven had thought that she would never need it, seeing as she had healing powers and all.

She tried to do her best to perform rescue breaths with every bit of knowledge that she remembered. It didn't turn out too well, cause all that really happened was she pressed her lips to his and stuck her tongue in his mouth by accident a few times.

But, after a few moments, he started responding.

His eyes snapped open, and she pulled away, thinking that she would interfere with his natural breathing.

However, after a second, he did something most surprising.

He pulled her back towards himself and put his lips on hers….
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, I'm opening the portal. Jump in," Shadow instructed. Everyone walked into the electric blue wormhole she had conjured up.

They were in the basement now, but there was no one in sight.

Suddenly, Cy spotted to huddled figures in the corner.

He didn't say anything. He seemed to be rooted to the spot by what he was seeing.

Tracing his gaze, Robin, Starfire, Nightmare, and Shadow soon followed suit.

Just imagining the looks on their faces as they saw what they were seeing makes me laugh.

And what they saw was even more amusing.

Raven and Beast Boy.

Sitting in a corner.

Making out furiously.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, they broke apart.

BB could have sworn he heard someone giggle.

It was a very Starfire-ish giggle.

Looking around, he saw his fellow Titans.

"Uhh… hey, guys…" he said nervously.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I-it's not what you think!" Raven said quickly, as several boxes exploded behind her.

The five of them burst out laughing.

"No- seriously! Beast Boy was drowning and I thought he was dead so I was using mouth-to-mouth…."

"Mouth-to-mouth, eh?" said N.

"Yeah," said S sarcastically. "That's what they all say…"

"Well, we don't want to be interrupting anything!" said Cy cheerily.

"Yes, shall we leave the two to further express their love for one another?" Star said.

"Yeah, we'll leave now," said Robin, grinning.

Shadow, Nightmare, Cyborg, Starfire and Robin went through another portal conjured up by Shadow, leaving Raven and Beast Boy to blush furiously.

"Wait a second…" said Raven. "Did they just… did they just leave again?"

This seemed to hit BB at the exact same moment.

"That's okay with me," he said, smiling at her.

"Well, I guess I don't mind being here a little longer…" Raven said, leaning back in towards BB. "At least we've got each other."

They smiled at each other, knowing that from now on, they would be able to survive anything.

As long as they had each other.

THE END.
