Well... I only got one review from the last chapter. But I think that the more I go, I'll get more reviews. Finally, we see more action in this chapter, I think. Enjoy, and REJOICE! SCHOOL'S OUT AT LAST! For me, anyway... ha ha.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or Motel 6, either. Sorry for forgetting about that on the last chapter...

Chapter 1. Memories Not Forgotten
"Maybe I made a mistake," Terra muttered to herself as she walked to her locker the next day, after she enrolled. Already students were staring. The whispers were torture.
"Dude, isn't that...?"
"I thought she died..."
"Maybe it's just a look-alike."
"With that scar on her face? I don't think so."
She shrugged it off and she unlocked her locker easily. Another girl, about her height with red hair and green eyes, walked to the locker next to her and opened it.
"You're new here, aren't you?" she asked. Terra didn't look at her. "You can tell?" she asked. "I've seen more looks like that lately than ever," the redhead stated, "But no worries. You look pretty sharp. Do you have classes with me?"
She whipped out her schedule and Terra looked at both of them. "Yep, every one," she said.
"Cool. We'll have to stick together. I'm Candi," the redhead held out her hand. Terra shook it. "Terra," she replied, giving her a smile. She seemed nice.
Candi grinned. "Well, first period is... Social Studies. It's not too far away. C'mon," she said, and pulled the blonde towards the room at the end of the hall.
Soon a tall, lean African-American girl joined them.
"Who's this?" she asked, pointing to Terra. "Oh, this is Terra," Candi said, backing off a little so they could shake hands.
"Newbie, huh? I'm Tameko," said the girl. Terra grinned. "Nice to meet you. Do you have Social Studies next?"
"Tameko's got the same classes as us," Candi informed. "Cool. We'll hafta stick together, like peas and carrots," Tameko smirked. Terra giggled.

"You know, Raven, I never liked you."
What the heck is this? Why do I think about this? This must be a memory. Raven... Wait! She was the one who communicated with me the day I woke up from "death". Okay... got that figured out.
"I never even wanted to KNOW you. The others might've been fooled, but I always knew you were a liar."
"Oh, really? Is that why you let me live in your house and steal all your secrets, and-"
"SHUT UP!.!"
Liar? What did I lie about? Who are the others? Why did I "live in her house and steal all her secrets"? Why is Raven so-
"Terra!"
Terra gasped and looked up. "Yes?" she asked, nervous. The class snickered softly. Candi and Takemo looked at her oddly.
"Terra, I asked you four times, 'Which country is Algeria in?', but what do you do? You just sit there and-"
"Africa."
The Social Studies teacher, Mr. Fergo, paused. "Excuse me?" he asked. "Africa," Terra repeated, "The country of Algeria is in Africa. I heard you say that."
Mr. Fergo blinked a few times, but nodded. "You're right. Hmm, I guess you were listening after all."
He turned around, and began to lecture again. Terra briefly rolled her eyes, looked down, and another wave hit her.
"You're not getting mad, are you, Rae? Oh, better be careful. Beast Boy told me ALL about your temper tantrums."
Who's Beast Boy? If Raven communicated with me to help, then why did she hate me, here? Did I do something bad?
"Anger is pointless. My emotions are under control."
"Nya-nya-nya. 'Anger is pointless.' And you're calling ME a liar?"
Emotions... Raven has problems with her emotions!.! I REMEMBER! I REMEMBER THIS! I hurt Raven and her friends somehow, and we're fighting... I have power of earth, and she has power of telekinesis. And her emotions are powerful, too... I REMEMEBER!.!
"What hurts the most, Raven? That I tricked you?"
"Stop it!"
I had her on the ground, in the mud.
"Or was it that deep down inside, you really believed I was your friend?"
Her eyes... such an angry red. All four of them...
"I TRUSTED YOU!.! WE TRUSTED YOU!.! WE GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND YOU TREATED US LIKE DIRT!.!.!"
I remember she scared me, then... But then, this voice...
"Good, Terra. Now finish her off."
A man... Was I working for him? Yes... what was his name? Raven told me... Urrgh! I can't remember!
"Terra!.!"
Terra looked up once more, only it was Candi, not the teacher.
"It's time for Biology. C'mon, we have five minutes."

I can't believe I remembered Raven and me battling. Okay, so I controlled earth, she was a telekinetic. She was part of a team, I did something to hurt them. Steal all their secrets... Hmm...
"I hope you aren't expecting a goodbye kiss."
"Terra, you can't."
"Watch me."
Who's that green dude, the changeling? He looks so sad... Who is he? Beast Boy?
Suddenly, another wave hit me.
"Beast Boy... I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen."
"Then why did you let it?"
"I don't know, okay? I don't know. Slade... He saved me... saved me from myself. He said I owed him, but..."
"So it was all a game? You were just pretending?"
"No."
Beast Boy was the green one. We had something going on... romance, maybe?
"You said you'd be my friend no matter what, remember?"
Suddenly, the image is crystal clear and I see his face, so dark, so angry, so sad, overcoming me.
"Slade was right. You don't have any friends."
No... don't cry...
"Terra? You okay?" the Biology teacher, Mrs. Harrison, asked, turning from her math equasion at the board.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine," Terra managed to choke out. Candi, beside her, placed a hand on her shoulder. "You sure?" she asked. Terra nodded.
Beast Boy and I had something... What? I'm crying over something I can't remember totally! I feel so much heartaching sadness, but I don't know why. Calm down. The answer will come.

Weeks flew by, and Terra's friendship with Candi and Tameko grew. They talked all the time, and Terra was soon relieved of distraction from class. She excelled in all except Geometry (but she worked hard as a perfectionist), and she almost felt sorry for leaving so soon. Soon, Halloween went by and Thanksgiving was coming up.
Since the blonde girl remembered she was a geomancer, and had tried to skip a few rocks along the ruins of the motel home she lived in, and she came up only with success. She felt oddly happy at this, but she remembered how her power had brought pain to Raven and the almost-not-remembered Beast Boy, and she kept it supressed.
Terra was walking back to the motel after school one afternoon when she heard fighting going on. There was this big, white monster running around, and she saw bolts of green and black, along with blue. She saw whirls of green, and several animals. Even a dinosaur.
These must be the Teen Titans. I remember green, blue, and black. Raven was black, a redhead was green, and a robot kid was blue. Yeah...
Suddenly, a slab of concrete was thrown into the air, and landed close by the blonde girl and some people she stood among. She covered her eyes against the dust, and lowered her arm a second later.
She looked around, waiting for the creature. It was distracted. Good.
She then heard a voice.
"Terra!"
She looked towards the voice, and found the same green guy from her "memory".
Beast Boy? I cannot remember him... Why did he call my name? I thought I hurt him.
Terra watched as he was thown aside, and she took advantage of the moment by running the rest of the way to the Motel 6.

Woot! Terra is getting more memories! Beast Boy spies her! Review, PLEASE! I'll be your best friend forever...
