Chapter 2. Clueless

The next day, Terra went to school, as usual. She tried not to think about the green guy that called her name on the street. Maybe he wasn't Beast Boy. How many green guys were in Jump City?...

After last bell rang, she waited by the gate for Candi and Tameko, as always. They had to talk with their Geometry teacher about possible after-school tutoring on Wednesdays. She kept her head down, still self-concious about the stares and whispers.

She saw them approach, and she smiled.

"What's up? I was wondering of Mr. Vlanderfield kept you for one of his lectures!" she exclaimed jokingly. Candi giggled as Terra went on, "Or was it that he couldn't be swayed?"

Tameko smiled, raising her eyebrows and rolling her eyes as saying Well, you were almost right.

"Terra!"

Terra and her friends looked over at the metal fence, and Terra saw the green guy she saw on the street yesterday, who had called her name.

What the...?

"It's me! Beast Boy!" he continued, grasping the bars with his gloved hands.

Candi looked at Terra inquiringly. "You know him?" she asked. Terra shrugged. "I dunno anymore," she muttered, and they began to walk out, as usual, to go to the town library to do homework.

"Terra, wait up!" the green one shouted, and he ran towards the gate.

The three girls kept on walking. "Maybe if you ignore him, he'll go away," Tameko whispered. Terra raised her eyebrows in a look that said Maybe.

Suddenly, the green boy leapt in front of them, and he looked at Terra. A grin formed on his face. Not a nasty grin, not your general "Great to see you!" grin. It was a grin of pure joy, like he didn't think he was going to see her today. Or ever.

He raised a hand, waving, and smiled wider.

Terra stared, as did her comrades.

"Sorry. You've got the wrong girl," she apologized. I don't think you're the guy I "remember". I don't think I'm the girl that you looked up at from your weak position, dangling from the edge.

His eyes widened and his mouth dropped slightly. He was very obviously shocked.

"You don't remember me?" he asked, his voice soft. "Sh-Should I?" Terra asked, the pieces still fuzzy, like underdeveloped pictures from a digital camera. "I'm Beast Boy. We used to hang out together. You... thought I was... funny," he said, his voice becoming insecure. He gave her a sheepish grin.

Terra couldn't help but let a small giggle escape her lips. He was so cute... just like in her "memories". So, this was the same Beast Boy from her half-memories. He thought she was someone he was involved with.

Boy, is he in for something.

"See? I can still make you laugh!" he stated triumphantly. Terra's smile evaporated instantly. She began to get annoyed. If I throw a stick, will you go away? If you're the changeling I remember, why don't you go ahead and go canine?

"Like I said, you have the wrong girl." She began to turn around, to join Candi and Tameko, who were beginning to look a little frightened. Was this green, elfish dude a stalker?

She felt a gloved hand on her shoulder, and she paused.

"Maybe if we talk, you'll remember," Beast Boy suggested. Terra kept her eyes on the ground. Maybe if I pretend I'm not the Terra he wants me to be, he'll leave. The canine-stick theory isn't gonna go over well.

"I've gotta go," she insisted. "Just one pizza? I'm buying. What have you got to lose?" he persisted.

Suddenly, Candi and Tameko closed in, two of their hands on Terra's arms, the other two on Beast Boy's, squeezing threateningly. He began to squeak in pain.

"She's not interested," Candi hissed. "Yeah, so get lost, Brat Boy!" Tameko barked. "It's Beast Boy..." Beast Boy retorted, and broke away, clutching his wrist, trying to get circulation back in.

The two defenders still stood in front of Terra, but they released their grip on her arms. Terra looked at the young man in front of them, who looked extremely downcast, not to mention flushed.

"Maybe one slice," she offered out of sympathy. Tameko and Candi whirled around, caught completely off-guard.

Beast Boy forgot about his wrist and smiled, his eyes twinkling.

He grabbed her wrist and smiled. "Oh, great! I'll take you to our favorite place!" he said, and proceeded in leading her away from the school grounds.

"You sure you want to go with this guy?" Candi asked cautiously. "It's okay. I'll see you tomorrow," Terra said calmly.

"So, what made you change your mind?"

"Excuse me?"

"About going out with me. It was the ears, wasn't it? Ladies love the pointy ears."

Okay, I hear the voices. I remember feeling warm, loving lips just brush against mine... before something stopped us. Who was "us" anyhow?

Beast Boy and I? Nuh-uh... But I remember... green eyes, soulful eyes, closing gently as he moved in for the kiss.

"... And then, we pushed the Brain into the freeze machine," Beast Boy concluded. For the past fifteen minutes, from the time they left school, to the point where they sat down at the pizza parlor, to where they ordered sodas, he was recounting the events of the past year for his long-lost friend. He obviously thought Terra understood it all. But Terra had to admit, it was a pretty cool story.

"Brain freeze... That's funny!" she said, laughing. It was funny. No lie.

Beast Boy sat back down, and smiled. "Finally someone gets my joke!" he exclaimed, and he laid a hand on his cheek, supporting his head. He looked at her adoringly.

"You haven't changed a bit, Terra," he murmured. Sure, he noticed her scars, but still... Her eyes were still that captivating, ice blue. Her hair was still yellow like the sun. The blonde looked into her Coke, happiness gone. He really thinks I am the Terra he was involved with.

"Why do you keep calling me that?" she asked. "Because you are Terra," he replied. "How can you be sure?" Terra asked.

"You... You look like her, you talk like her, you laugh like her," he listed, studying her intently. "Don't you remember anything from before?"

The ex-geomancer clenched her fists. Some things... but I think we have each other mixed up. You're not the Beast Boy I remember, and I'm not the Terra you remember. The Beast Boy from my "memories" is another green boy.

"I just remember high school," she stated. He looked at her, his face now taking on a new expression of recollection and solemness.

"You used to live in the desert before joining the Teen Titans," Beast Boy said. Desert... desert... Whoa, I think I remember...

"You couldn't control your powers at first..." he continued. A memory hit her.

"It's okay, Terra! I'm here... I'm here..."

"You... won't-?"

"I'm not gonna tell anybody. I promise."

"...Then Slade helped you," the green changeling finished, his tone darkening.

Slade! The voice! The man I worked for... his name was SLADE! Ah-ha! It was the former master Raven told me about!

"You wanted to take over the city... But in the end, you couldn't go through with it, and you saved us all," Beast Boy concluded his recollections to let it sink in between them.

Terra looked into her glass, remembering lava, the quarry tornado (vaguely), and the desert.

Lava... volcano... "saved us all"? Did I, like, die for his team or something? And this Terra sounds like an over-the-top juvenile delinquent, anyhow.

"Why would you want to be friends with someone who was so much trouble?" she asked.

"Because I know who she really is," came the calm reply. At that moment, a large, steaming, delicious-smelling pizza was set on their table, and Beast Boy smiled.

"One supreme pizza, extra anchovies, hold the mushrooms; made just the way you like it!" he exclaimed, winking.

Anchovies... I don't think I should enhance that detail... make an excuse. Can you be allergic to anchovies?

"I don't like anchovies; I'm allergic. I should get going," she said rapidly, and she knocked over her glass, causing it to spill. She saw her face, and she suddenly remembered something.

Mirrors... reflections...

"Look at yourself, Terra! Is this really who you want to be?.!"

Robin. I remember that name, the kid who said that to me! Robin!

"I'm just not gonna be good enough for you, am I?"

"No, stay!" Beast Boy pleaded, "I don't eat anchovies, either. We'll get whatever you want," he urged. Terra didn't make eye contact.

"I've got a lot of homework and I need to get to the computer lab," she said. Actually, her homework was all done. She had finished it during study period that day.

"We've got an awesome computer at the Tower, and you'll get done in half the time!" Beast Boy persuaded.

The blonde girl stopped. Tower... Titans Tower. Why do I remember this? Did I live there? Yeah!

"Okay," she said, "but I've got to be home before dark." Beast Boy grinned. "'Kay," he agreed.

As he led her away, Terra was only attacked by more memories.

"Wanna go out?"

"Huh? Yeah! I-I mean... That's cool. But, why didn't you just knock on my door?"

"Do you trust me?"

"More than anyone I've ever met."
