Chapter 3. Dreams or Something More?

"Whoa... This is cool!" Terra exclaimed as she walked into the Tower's Main Operations Center.

"This is where the Titans get their mission assignments," Beast Boy explained, "Over there's the kitchen, and that's where we play video games..."

Terra remembered this. Very clearly, but she was still doubtful if these were her memories. She remembered giving away something, like a code... or more than one code. To that Slade master.

"Must be nice to live here," she commented, sounding vague. "You used to live here, too," Beast Boy said.

The blonde smiled gently. "I think I would remember living in a place like this," she said.

"Whoa... Nice digs. And check out the view! I can't believe you guys actually live here!"

"Mi casa es su casa. So, you want the grand tour, or...?"

"Got any food?.!"

"C'mon, I'll show you your room!" Beast Boy offered, and led her down to the elevator, up to the rooms.

Terra and Beast Boy went to the middle of the room, and looked at the ceiling.

"Stars..." Beast Boy recollected, "Because you liked to sleep outside."

Desert... starlit nights... no! I can't remember... I don't want to remember...

"Not me," Terra said, "I hate camping out. Too many bugs," she explained, and she walked a few ways over to the bed.

Suddenly, something caught her eye on the table nearby. It was the heart-shaped box.

She opened the lid, and found the mirror inside. She tried to remain vague in expression, but her mind was racing.

"Beast Boy... It's... I don't know what to say!"

That box... was so beautiful. I felt... happy. It must've meant a lot.

"You could say yes, 'cuz I'm about to ask you out on a date."

"Oh, um... Wow."

"So... Wanna do something tomorrow night?"

I feel the urge to lie. Something else was going on, and I couldn't do it.

"Tomorrow. I... I'm sorry, Beast Boy. I can't."

"But-"

"I just can't!"

"Um... Okay. Maybe some other time?..."

"I made that for you. Remember, Terra?" Beast Boy asked, his voice gentle. He still calls me...

"It's cute," Terra replied curtly, "Listen, I really have to go." She shut the box, and they walked to the shore.

Terra looked out at the sunset. It was so beautiful. She remembered this beach, oddly...

"I can't stay."

"Why not?"

"Places to go, people to see..."

"C'mon... you know you wanna stay. We've got free cable, indoor plumbing, and all the tofu you can eat!"

"Ha ha... tofu? You sure know how to charm a girl."

"I think your friend's out there somewhere. I hope you find her," Terra murmured.

"I already have," Beast Boy replied, picked up a rock, and skipped it out onto the water. He picked another one up, and held it out to her.

Rocks... I remember... Why? Was it me who...?

"Beast Boy," the blonde sighed. "Come on... You've gotta remember! Something... Anything!" Beast Boy groaned, his voice on the brink of tearful explosion. Terra looked down and shook her head.

There was a moment of silence before she saw Beast Boy lean down and pick up a clod of dirt.

What...?

"You can move the earth!" he said, and threw the dirt into her face before she could duck. As the dirt seeped through her skin and hair, she remembered.

"Sorry! I'm so stupid... Don't tell; please don't tell!"

"Terra, it's okay. You can't totally control your powers. So what?"

"Promise me you won't tell anyone! Ever!"

"Sure."

"Swear it."

"Okay! I promise. But I'm telling you, it's no big deal. If my friends knew, they'd still like you."

"... You just don't understand."

"Why did you do that?.!" she nearly screamed, and she ran off, tears coming for not particular reason except for the fact that her scar under her eye began to sting from the mud.

She could barely hear Beast Boy screaming, begging for her to come back, that he would help her remember how to use her powers.

She stopped once she got to the Motel 6, and ran to the bathroom. She washed her face, and she looked into the mirror.

"Dammit... What part of 'You have the wrong girl' didn't he understand?.!"

She sighed, changed into her pajamas, and looked up at the stars from a window.

"Okay, so he is Beast Boy. He said so himself. His voice is the same from my 'memories', even. He thinks I'm Terra. I'm not Terra. We must look alike or something, since he didn't let it go... and doesn't have any desire to let go."

She got up from her chair, and fell asleep once her head hit the pillow.

That night, Terra dreamed.

"Come with me, Terra, and I can teach you to shine."

The things he offered... I feel torn.

"But... my friends told me you're..."

"You don't really believe they're your friends, do you, Terra?"

"They took me in, gave me a home."

"And when they find out what's wrong with you, they'll reject you. Just like everybody else."

"Beast Boy-"

"-Can't keep his mouth shut forever. He'll tell them."

Anger. That made me angry.

"He PROMISED."

"He LIED."

I blew up.

"Shut up! Just shut up and leave me alone!.! Oh... don't lose control, don't lose control..."

"Now, Terra. How can you lose something you never had?"

I... couldn't handle...

"NNNOOO!.!.!"

"No one else understands you, Terra. No one else can help you. I'll be waiting."

Slade... Slade... offered to help Terra... control. Beast Boy... didn't tell them, but she thought he did.

Went away... got help from the worst person possible. Came back... as a lie.

"Why can't you just trust me?"

"Because you don't deserve it! I have to meditate every day to keep my powers under control! Do you honestly think I can just suddenly trust you with yours?.! Trust is something you have to earn!"

"How? How do I earn it?"

"You can start by trusting me."

Saved the Tower, with Raven. Made it onto the team. They trusted her, but she gave them to Slade, without them knowing it until she gave away their security code. Terra led Beast Boy out, just so he would be safe. She still had a knack for him...

"Beast Boy, if you knew something bad about me, would you still be my friend?"

"Of... course..."

"I mean, if you were really my friend, I could tell you anything. And, no matter how horrible it was, you'd still like me, right?"

"Yes. I promise, Terra. No matter what..."

Slade was the one who interrupted what would've been their first kiss... He ruined it all. No, scratch that. Terra ruined it, for she went with him in the first place. If she hadn't met with him in the quarry, then maybe she would've joined the Titans and gotten help from them. She and Beast Boy would've kissed that night.

No... Slade said, earlier, that he's been watching Terra. He would've gone after her anyway. Man, this is so confusing! Terra just had bad luck following behind her trail.

Then, a buzzing noise made Terra, the real Terra, jolt awake from her dream. She was sweating, and fumbled a few times before finding the snooze button.

She got dressed, snagged an apple, grabbed her backpack, and ran the rest of the way to Murikami High.

Terra... you're the most horrible friend that I've ever seen. Boy, if I was you... But what if I am you...?
