Ch 1

5 months and it would be over. She couldn't believe it as she sat crossed legged on her bed. It felt like a nightmare she was trapped in and couldn't get out of, and she had many nightmare in her time that felt so real. This was real. In 5 months the Titans would be going their separate ways. She thought they would be together forever and now she had to figure out her life without her friends, her family.

She wasn't coming out of her room, not today. There was no way she could face anyone, especially with her emotions, which had turned her well organized room into chaos. She didn't have the will to clean up her mess, so she sat in it. Exhausted, she lied down on her bed, pulling her blanket over he body as she rested her head on her pillow. She knew she would have to meditate later but for now she just wanted to forget this whole day happened.

Beast boy couldn't blame Raven for walking out of the room when Cyborg and Robin had made their announcement. Everything was going to change in 5 months, and there was nothing they could do. He had a feeling something had been going on. Cyborg had been talking to Bumblebee more and more lately, and Robin and Starfire had been spending more time together than with the rest of the team. The dynamic of the team was shifting, changing, not to mention they were all growing up.

The nineteen year old shapeshifter would be twenty years old this weekend and now it hit him harder then he thought. He wouldn't be a teenager anymore, his friends weren't teenagers anymore. They were all adults, and he would be soon enough. It was time to move on but was he ready? Was he really ready to say goodbye to his family?

"B?" said Cyborg as he sat beside his best friend, his brother. "Are you—?"

"No, but I understand Cy. I think I should have seen this coming. Dude everything is going to change," he said as he felt Cyborg's hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah," Cy smiled, "but it doesn't have to be a bad thing Beast boy. Change can be good. The world is your oyster man. You can do anything you want, be anything you want."

"I—I know but what about Raven? Sh—she walked out without saying a word," said BB.

"She needs time to process this man. This is a big deal."

"Maybe I should go talk to her," said BB as he got off the couch.

"I think this is one of those times you need to let her be."

"She shouldn't be alone Cy. I'll figure something out," said BB as he left the room, not seeing the sad smile on his best friend's face.

Robin and Starfire came out moments later to see Cyborg cooking, and they sat at the table. He turned around and smiled at the couple.

"This is the right thing, isn't it?" asked Starfire as Robin squeezed her hand in his.

"As hard as it is Starfire, we're making the right decision," said Cyborg.

"We'll always be friends, family Star, but we have lives of our own we want to live," said Robin.

"I just hope Raven and can understand."

A green Siberian husky sat by Raven's door and waited. He knew he shouldn't go in her room this time without her permission, so he waited to see if she needed him. He shook his doggy head. 'Like Raven would need me,' he thought but he could still hope. 'She shouldn't be alone no matter what.'

A rustle of a blanket brought Beast boy out of his thoughts as he trotted closer to her door, pressing his ear against the door and then he heard those three magic words as well as a lot of sound in her room. Before he could do anything, the sound stopped. Concerned, he transformed back into his human self and knocked on the door. "Raven!"

"What do you want Beast boy?" asked Raven.

"I know you're not going to open the door, why would you? Your whole world's about to change in 5 months."

"Don't remind me," said Raven as she leaned against her door, her arms crossed around her.

"You're not the only one Rae—Raven, and you're not alone."

"I—I thought we would—

"Be together forever. Yeah, and I thought I'd be more freaked out."

"Why aren't you?"

"I think I was in my head but then I realized they're our friends. They deserve to be happy, and I don't want to be the one to stand in the way of that."

"You know just because you're turning 20 this weekend doesn't mean you have to get all smart on me."

Beast boy laughed. "Did you just make a joke?"

"Things are changing."

"It's ok to be scared Rae. I am to but just think about this as a new adventure for you. You could do anything you want to do. You could go to college. You're definitely smart enough."

"I'll consider it, so what about you?"

"I don't know yet, but I want to make a promise."

"What kind of promise?"

"Wherever we are, we stay in contact."

Raven smiled. "I promise Beast boy."

"I'll see you tomorrow, right Rae?"

She could feel his care and worry through the door. She smiled a second time today and knew she would be ok but tomorrow was another day closer to the Titan's ending. "Yes Beast boy," she said as she heard his retreating footsteps. Now it was time to meditate and hope she could hold it all together tomorrow to face the rest of her friends.
