Hey there people of No worries, I still live.

I actually had this chapter done a long time ago (and by "long" I mean like March 28) but my internet went on the fritz! See, we were getting DSL finally. And they canceled our dial up connection on Thursday (March 30). And I thought, "no big deal, we'll have DSL tomorrow." Well come Friday (March 31) I find out that we need a special filter for it, other wise every time we sign on, the DSL will set off our alarm system. So we had to wait until they shipped our filter. So I was without my precious internet for days! That means I had no life for days!

Well anyway, let's get on with the story. I do not own Teen Titans . . . Or any other brand name junk.

Drinks and such

"Look B, this may work but I am not sure if she would like us seein' her thoughts and everything." Cyborg told Beastboy.

A meeting was being held. Cyborg thought that maybe he had found a way to help Terra remember. Beastboy had told the team about Terra screaming and waking up in the middle of the night. And that she had someone haunting her dreams. Beastboy was almost sure that it was Slade, who else could it be? When he told the others about this Cyborg said he may have a way to help Terra. He has this machine that will let you read people's brain waves and thoughts. He can hook it up so that the images Terra sees in her dreams, they will see on a screen. Then maybe they can help her.

"Cyborg, even if we can do this, what if it doesn't work? I don't think we should rush into this." Robin told Cyborg who stopped arguing with Beastboy for a moment.

"I don't know Robin, this is all I have right now." Cyborg answered his leader. Starfire didn't speak up much in matters like these, but she felt as though she had to say something.

"If I may say something, I believe if friend Terra will allow us to help her in this way, we should do so. The more time we occupy doing nothing, the more chances we waste of retrieving Terra's memory." she said. Robin slightly smiled and nodded.

"You're right Star. So, if anyone else has any objections-" right then Robin was cut off by Raven.

"I don't know, it is risky. Plus Cyborg even said that his machine hasn't been tested yet. We don't even know if it'll work. We could end up hurting Terra and making things worse, or we could get hurt if something goes not to plan." Raven stated.

Now, everyone knows that curiosity killed the cat, but it never said anything about young teenage girls. Terra was listening to everything outside the door. When Cyborg told the team about his machine she was thrilled. Maybe now she could finally find out who is haunting her dreams at night. But who was this Slade that Beastboy mentioned? Were they keeping something from her? Terra shook of these questions when Raven spoke up. That's when she decided to give her own opinion in the matter.

She stepped in the room.

"Don't I get a say in this?" she asked. Everyone turned to her. They didn't really have much to say.

"Even though it may be risky, I want to go through with Cyborg's machine. Anything that can help me, anything at all, I'll take it." she said plainly. Beastboy smiled at her. Robin nodded in understanding.

"Well, that's it then I guess. When do you want to start Terra?" Robin asked her.

"As soon as possible, tonight even." she said, anxious to find out who it is that's in her dreams always.

"I can have it up and running tonight if I get to work now." Cyborg said to Robin and Terra. Terra was smiling big on the inside, but merely nodded to what Cyborg said.

"Ok, well until tonight you all are free to do what ever you like, just keep your communicators with you, incase trouble comes up." Robin told his team.

After that being said Cyborg went off to work on the machine that would help Terra. Raven grabbed her book and started to read. Starfire went back to work on her concoction that she was working on the other day, and making Robin taste test it. Terra went over to a stool and sat down. Beastboy sat down on the one next to her.

"Want something to drink?" he asked her.

"Yeah actually a Sprite or something would be nice." she answered. Beastboy nodded and went over to the fridge. He opened the door and was bombarded with smells and toxic fumes of old, stale, rotten food. He didn't even want to go through that mess. He turned around and looked over the fridge door. He saw Terra. She smiled and he nervously smiled back. He went back to look through the fridge, but gave up quickly. He went back to Terra and sat down.

"Something wrong?" she asked him.

"Uh, well. Our fridge is a mess at the moment. Wanna go out and get something." he asked hoping she would say yes. The fridge thing gave him a perfect excuse to have some alone with Terra and just hang out with her, if she said yes that is.

"Sure, I could use some fresh air." She said while getting up off of her seat. Beastboy did a happy dance in his head 'Go Beastboy, it's your birthday, who's your daddy?' was what he thought while the little Beastboy in his head jumped for joy.

"Cool, wanna just walk around town until we find something worthy of our drinkage?" he asked her. She laughed at his comment and nodded.

"Sounds good." she said back to him. The two teens got up and left silently, not wanting to make a scene. When they reached the outside Beastboy looked over at the glistening water. Terra came right behind him.

"Um, how are we getting across?" she asked him. Beastboy turned and looked at her. He had almost forgotten that she can't really use her powers. He had almost forgotten that this wasn't the same Terra in general.

"Here, hold on around my shoulders." he told her. She was cautious at first, but something inside her told her that she could trust him. She went over and wrapped her arms around his neck, not too tight, just enough to be able to hold on. Beastboy looked back at Terra.

"Ok, you ready?" he asked.

"Ready for what exactly?" she wondered. Beastboy just smirked. Suddenly before Terra knew it she was on the back of a giant pterodactyl (giant bird type dinosaur). Beastboy flapped his wings and took off.

"Ahh!" Terra screamed while also laughing at the same time. She held on tighter to the pterodactyl's neck. The wind hit her face and whipped her hair about. Beastboy smiled on the inside as he heard her laugh.

He scanned the area and tried to find the right place to land. He spotted an open parking lot near an electronics store. He swooped down fast but then came to halt before he hit the ground. Who said super heroes can't show off? He landed on the ground and changed back into his old Beastboy self. Terra let go of him.

"That was amazing! I've never done anything like that in my life!" she expressed to him. Beastboy outstretched his arms and sighed.

"Well I do try." he cockily mused. Terra rolled her eyes. This green guy sure was a crazy one, but somehow she felt drawn to him. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt a certain liking towards him.

"So . . ." Beastboy said dragging the word 'so'.

"So." Terra answered. Beastboy kicked the dirt.

"Where should we start?" he asked her.

"I don't know, I haven't really been around town much. You've been to some places, take me to the best ones." the young geomancer told her green friend.

"Ok, I know this place that makes the best milkshakes. Wanna check it out?" he said, getting happy that things were going pretty smooth.

"Sure, milkshakes sound great." she answered him.

"Ok, follow me!" he happily ordered. Then with that he was off. He started out at run. Terra laughed and ran after him. Not too long after that she caught up with him even passed him.

"Hey -pant- wait -pant- up! -pant-" Beastboy managed to get out in between pants. Terra looked back and stuck out her tongue. She laughed and sped up. Then she realized that she didn't know where she was going.

"Where are -pant- we supposed to -pant- go?" she yelled back to Beastboy. Beastboy held out his hand and pointed left. So Terra quickly took a left turn. Beastboy thought he was never going to catch up. Man it's times like these that he wishes he could run 50 miles per hour . . . wait . . .

Beastboy changed into horse and took off. He came racing up behind Terra. Terra heard hoofs behind her. Hoofs? She turned around for a split second and saw a green horse fly by her. Her hair flew forward as the horse zipped by. She smiled and began to run faster. When was the last time she had this much fun just running? When was the last time she had this much fun with someone she barely knew? When was the last time she had this much fun period?

Beastboy stopped at the place called 'DJ's milkshakes'. He was pretty far a head of Terra, not too much, but enough to gloat about it later. When Terra came to the restaurant type place she looked up at the sign.

"DJ's huh? Sounds ok." she said more to herself than anyone.

"It's better than ok, this place has sweet milkshakes." he said, his mouth starting to water. Terra giggled a bit.

"You're starting to drool." she pointed out. Beastboy laughed nervously and wiped the bit of drool away from his mouth. Then a bright idea came to his head. He hopped over and opened the door. Bowing somewhat and holding out his hand. Now this may seem elementary to most, but you have to remember: no matter how cute and adorable Beastboy is, he is a bit thick headed at times and doesn't think all that much.

Terra laughed to herself. She walked in and patted BB on the head."Thank you my good sir." she said with a laugh. Beastboy smiled big when she patted him. Then he followed her inside. They sat at a booth. Beastboy sort of bounced when he sat down. Taking advantage that the cushions were soft and squishy.

A waiter came up to the two teens. He looked about maybe 16 or so. He had red messy hair and freckles covered his face. He had on a blue shirt with the restaurant logo on it with black pants and a white apron tied around his waist area that was filled with straws and order sheets.

"What can I get you?" he asked Terra and Beastboy. Beastboy didn't hesitate to tell the waiter his order.

"I would like a soy chocolate milkshake with extra cherries on top please." he said. The boy wrote down the order. He looked to Terra as if saying 'And what would you have?'

"Uh, I'll just have the same, thanks." she said. The waiter wrote it down then left. After the boy left Beastboy looked over at Terra. She was examining the place. It was kind of cool. It was done in an old fashioned candy store type way. BB just kept staring at Terra. He couldn't believe she was really back. Even if she didn't remember, at least she was here right? Terra glanced at Beastboy and noticed that he was staring at her. She blushed slightly and turned away. When Beastboy noticed that she noticed that he was staring at her he looked away also. He was mentally slapping himself for that "smooth move".

The red headed boy came back to the table with Beastboy's and Terra's orders. He set the glasses on the table.

"Two soy chocolate milkshakes with extra cherries." he said. Just to confirm that that's what the two teens wanted. Because sometimes you get those really mean people who change their mind on their order or find every little thing wrong with it. (If you couldn't tell already I am a waitress and there really mean people out there! XD) Well anyway, back to Beastboy and Terra.

Beastboy stuck is straw right into his milkshake and started drinking. It was like heaven. Terra put her straw into the milkshake and took a sip. He wasn't kidding around, this milkshake was awesome! She started to drink more.

"So, soy huh? You a vegetarian or something?" she asked while taking sips in between. Beastboy stopped drinking for a second to answer her.

"Yeah, I am." he told her. Terra nodded and took another sip.

"If you don't mind me asking, why?" she questioned.

"See, I turn into animals. Well I have been most of the animals that people eat, so it would feel like cannibalism." he said drinking the last of his milkshake in one last big sip through the straw.

"Oh, never thought about that." Terra said taking another drink. Things were kind of quite at the moment, and not only because they were drinking milkshakes. This was different kind of silence. The kind that says 'Oh crap, what do I say?' Yes my good readers, it was that kind of horrible silence. Beastboy didn't really know what to say. He wanted to tell her everything that happened to him, or reminisce about old times, but he couldn't do that, she wouldn't know any of those things. Terra just flat out didn't know what to say. These people just took her up off the streets and helped her like they had known her her whole life. Well, she knew that they had a past together, but she didn't know how big or what the importance was. She wanted to ask Beastboy about this Slade character. She was very curious as to why he thought it was him that was in her dreams.

Terra finished the last of her milkshake.

"Ya done?" Beastboy asked.

"Yeah, that was a really good milkshake." Terra added as she got up from the booth. Beastboy got up also and laid ten dollars on the table. Not wanting to worry about the change, he left and followed Terra outside.

"Where do you wanna go now?" Beastboy asked her. Terra shrugged.

"Don't care really, where ever you want to go is fine." she answered him.

"Um, just want to walk around?" he asked, not knowing what else to really do. Terra nodded.

"Sure." she said. Beastboy smiled a bit, happy that she wasn't ready to go back to the tower yet. The sun was starting to set and soon it would paint the sky with colors and numerous hues. Beastboy started the walk, not really going anywhere, just walking along the sidewalk. Terra followed by the side of him. Beastboy was trying hard to think of something to say, or start a conversation. But he could think of nothing.

"So . . . "Beastboy said once again dragging the word. Terra twiddled her thumbs.

"So." she copy catted. Then Beastboy suddenly got an idea. He smiled.

"Wanna hear a joke?" he asked her. Terra smiled and nodded. BB cleared his throat and began his joke.

"Ok, what do you get when you have a villain on the moon?" he asked. Terra thought about it for a moment.

"Ok, what?" she asked.

"A problem." he said to her. "Now what do you get when you have 100 villains on the moon?" he asked again. Terra thought again, but still she couldn't think of anything.

"What?" she asked.

"Another problem." he told her. "Now what do you get when you have all the villains on the moon?" he finally said. Terra had no idea, but answered him all the same.

"What do you get?" she asked, curious where this was going.

"Problem solved!" Beastboy burst out. He started to laugh. Terra had to think about it for a minute but then joined in the laughing.

"That was a good one." complemented Terra. Beastboy smiled his toothy grin.

"Thanks." he expressed. Beastboy saw the beach in the distance. He decided he would take her there.

"Want to go to the beach, it's really cool when the sun is setting and all" he questioned.

"Yeah, sounds great." Terra mused. Beastboy then started in the direction of the beach. On the way there Beastboy told Terra some more jokes and made her laugh. Truth be told, even if Terra had just met him ( she doesn't remember him from before! Duh!) , she liked Beastboy a lot. He could make her laugh, make her forget about all the bad things, plus he was really cute.

They came onto the beach. There weren't that many people there actually. Well it was a weekday so it makes sense. Beastboy saw one couple leave and drive off in their car. And he saw another by the benches that were there, but other than that he couldn't see anyone else.

Beastboy started to walk in the sand with Terra following. Beastboy was kicking a rock as he walked. Once he missed and tripped over the rock and fell forward, face first in the sand. Terra tried to contain her laughing by putting her hand over her mouth while snickering. Beastboy sprang up and brushed himself off.

After that embarrassing moment, Beastboy and Terra walked over to where some rocks were at sat on them, looking out at the setting sun. The sky was strung with colors, dazzling reds, breath taking yellows, fiery oranges, and calm mellow blues.

Terra was thinking on how to ask Beastboy who Slade was. She didn't want to flat out ask him, because that would be implying that she was listening to their conversation. But she really wanted to know who Slade was, and why he thought that it was him who was in her dreams. Well as always, curiosity took hold of Terra.

"Um . . ." she started as she fidgeted. Beastboy turned to her.

"What is it?" Beastboy leaned back and put his arms behind his back and rested his weight on them.

"It's just that . . . well, before . . ." she slowly but surely let out. Beastboy had a confused look on his face. He thought maybe he had done something wrong. 'But everything was going so good! Wasn't it? What if I was boring her to death? What if she didn't like my jokes? Oh man, I knew I should have told the one about the preacher and the duck!' he thought frantically as he was waiting for Terra to say the rest of her statement.

"Well, when we were back at the tower, you said something about, a Slade. Who is he?" she finally managed to spit out. Beastboy's face went from worried and panicked to blank and serious. Robin told him not to say anything about before! Now how was he supposed to deal with this. He knows he can't say 'no' to Terra, but he can't disobey his leader either!

The sun was almost fully set, the end of a day was near. Pretty soon Terra and Beastboy would have to be getting back to the tower.

Terra cocked her head to the side in confusion. "Beastboy, who is he?" she asked again, still waiting for him to say something.

Beastboy sighed a sigh of defeat. "Ok, I'll tell you." he said. Terra leaned in closer, that way she wouldn't miss a thing.

Suddenly Beastboy's communicator went off. He opened it and saw Robin.

"What's up?" Beastboy asked, both annoyed and thankful that Robin called right at that moment.

"Cyborg says the machine is ready, but he needs to do some last minute setting up, but he needs Terra for it." Robin told Beastboy. Beastboy nodded.

"Alright, we'll be there soon." Beastboy said back to Robin.

"Alright, Robin out." Robin said as the screen went blank. Beastboy closed his communicator and put it back at his side.

"Robin wants us back at the tower." Beastboy said, getting up. Terra got up also.

"Ok, but . . . will you tell me later?" She asked with hope in every word.

Beastboy smiled "I'll tell you later, I promise." Terra smiled once he said that. She went over and wrapped her arms around him again. And after she got a good hold, Beastboy changed into a pterodactyl again and flew off towards the tower.

From in the shadows where Beastboy and Terra used to be walked out a large well built man with a mask that was half bronze and half black.

"Well, it seems as though I have a welcoming party I need to plan." and just by the way his voice sounded, you could tell there was a malicious grin plastered on his face.

OMG! I finally finished! I am so proud of this chapter too! -wipes tear- Eight whole pages, I have never done that many before!
