At the girl's sleepover

Star's POV

We all listened as Lacey began her tale of Africa.

"Ok. My parents were Mark and Marie Logan. They were geneticists, genetic scientists, who specialized in animal studies. They got the opportunity to move to Africa to further their research. So we moved to Africa. Back then, Beastboy's name was Garfield (don't tell him I told you) so I called him 'Gar'. Anyway, Gar and I grew up happily, spending our days playing in the jungle while our parents worked.

One day, when I was 7 and Gar was 8,we went a little deeper into the jungle than usual and we ended up getting lost. Suddenly, this rabid, green monkey (yes, I said green monkey. Do not laugh) attacked us. He bit Gar when he tried to protect me and ended up biting me too. We ran and finally got home. The next morning, we felt miserable and our parents took us to their lab to see what was wrong.

It turns out we had Sakutia, a rare disease that had no cure and was fatal. Our parents had previously been looking for a cure before we got sick. They had a serum, but it was untested. They gave it to Gar, who was a little worse than me since he'd been bitten first. He was affected worse than me. His ears had gotten bigger and he had a fang. Not only that, his skin was green and so was his hair and eyes. After he took the serum, his hair, his eyes, and his skin stayed the same.

My condition wasn't as bad. My hair only had a few green streaks in it; it wasn't fully green yet. My eyes were green, but my skin still looked fairly normal. I only had a green mark here and there. The only non-visible side effects we had was Gar's hearing and my eyesight. They were better than any regular humans.

Later, we discovered our shapeshifting abilities. People were scared of what we could do and started making fun of me and Gar. My parents planned on moving us back to America while they finished their research. A week before we were going to leave to live with our uncle Nick, we went on a boat ride. And…..the river was choppy and we went the wrong way. There was a waterfall and we were heading right for it. My dad…..he told us to turn into birds and fly home. Gar and I…..we went and sat on a branch on a nearby tree. We couldn't bear to leave them. They jumped into the river…...but….the current dragged them under and they…...died.

We went home and gathered our few belongings. Our uncle Nick came to look after us and take us back to his home. The night before we were supposed to leave, someone broke into our house. I never saw his face but he saw us. He went after us and i transformed into a bird. But Gar, he was too shocked to transform. So the man took him. I tried changing back, but I was too scared. He ended up taking Gar and, until yesterday, I never saw Gar again.

My uncle was furious and thought I'd done something to Gar. He wanted to get the authorities to arrest me. I ran away and found a tribe who didn't mind my powers. I lived with them for nine years and then….I came here," Lacey finally finished her tale and looked down at her hands. I was so overwhelmed with sadness for her I could not speak. And the others could not speak either.

Surprisingly, it was friend Raven who comforted Lacey. She went and sat in front of Lacey. Raven put her arms around Lacey and embraced her. Lacey put her arms around Raven and started crying. I did as well and so did Bee and Jinx. We all went towards Raven and Lacey and got in on the 'group hug'.

With the boys

Beastboy's POV

We watched the girls get into a group hug. I felt like crying, except I wouldn't in front of the guys.

"BB?" asked Cyborg. I turned to see all the guys looking at me with guilt and concern written on their faces.

"Yeah, Cy?" I answered.

"Sorry I make fun of your ears and fang," Cy said quietly.

"And I'm sorry I call you grass stain sometimes," Robin added. Wait, when does Robin apologize.

"We didn't know about your past and we shouldn't have made fun of you without knowing," Aqualad said.

"You dudes don't have to apologize. It's fine. I'm used to it," I probably shouldn't have said that last part. They winced, as if thinking about how Lace and I used to be made fun of.

Before they could say anything else, the girls separated from their group hug and we went back to our seats and continued watching.

And back to the girls

Lacey's POV

I was so touched from the group hug. When I was done crying, I drew myself away and wiped my tears away. I smiled shakingly at the girls.

"Well, now that I feel better, I think it's my turn," the other girls smiled and went back to their seats.

"Let us make this the last truth or dare before we get ready for the next activity, please," said Star. We all nodded and I decided to ask someone who hadn't gone since the beginning.

"Raven, truth or dare?" I asked. Raven looked at me and I think she read my mind. Literally.

"Truth," Raven answered. I took a deep breath.

"You don't have to answer this. I'm only asking because I'm super protective of Gar and need to know. Do you love him? My brother?" I asked. Bee, Jinx, and Star looked shocked, like they couldn't believe I'd actually asked her. Raven took a deep breath. I felt bad, practically making her tell Gar. But I needed to know and I knew this was the only chance I had at getting an honest answer.

"Yes. Now, what's the next activity?" Raven pulled her hood over her head but I'm pretty sure we all saw her blushed face.

"Karaoke!" exclaimed Star. Uh oh.

"Y'all have 10 minutes to prepare a song. Starting….now!" cried Bee. With that, everyone but me left the common room and went elsewhere. I looked at camera and sighed. I walked up and started talking, knowing the boys were listening.

"Guys, don't talk to the girls about what you've heard. They'll tell you when you're ready," I said. Then I sat down and look through my playlist.

*It has been 10 minutes*

The girls came back and we got out a microphone and Bee set the computer up so it'd play the songs karaoke style. Star volunteered to go first. She typed in the song and started singing 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift.

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say hello

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, please, don't go

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me, I was begging you, please, don't go

And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby just say "Yes"

Oh, oh

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said

"Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby just say yes"

Oh, oh,

Oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.

The next person to sing was Bee. She decided to sing 'Countdown' from Victorious. But slightly modified.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

ohohohoh, yeah

All my attention baby

My extra time

There's nothin' I won't give you

Boy, if you were mine

Six million times I'm thinkin'

About your face

You know I'm crazy for you

Let me count the ways

Too many boys I'm chasin'

I've had my fun

But all the time was wasted

Boy you know that you're the one

It's a countdown to your love

You're my number one boy

It's a countdown fallin' faster

Don't think I'm gon' last now

(Oh, Oh) Wait a minute

I said wait a minute, wait a minute (Oh, Oh)

There's only one in your life

I want it to be me

Gon' set your heart on fire

Burnin' in the fourth degree

Serenade you, call your name

For you to come around

9, 10 back again

Count the ways I love you now

It's a countdown to your love

You're my number one boy

It's a countdown fallin' faster 2x

Don't think I'm gon' last now

(Oh, Oh) Wait a minute

I said wait a minute, wait a minute (Oh, Oh)

Ooh Ooh

10, you're handsome

9, you're amazing

8, you're contagious

Every time I look at you

6, you're a star

5, who you are

4, 3 know you want me

Don't you know that I want you too

You're the one (Yeah)

It's a countdown to your love

You're my number one boy

It's a countdown fallin' faster

It's a countdown fallin' faster

Don't think I'm gon' last now

(Oh, Oh) Wait a minute

I said wait a minute, wait a minute (Oh, Oh)

It's a countdown to your love

You're my number one boy

It's a countdown fallin' faster

It's a countdown fallin' faster

Don't think I'm gon' last now

(Oh, Oh) Wait a minute

I said wait a minute, wait a minute (Oh, Oh)

Next to sing was Jinx. She chose 'You belong with me' by Taylor Swift. (A/N I've been listening to Taylor Swift all day. Particularly this song and Love Story. And Last Christmas.)

You're on the phone with your girlfriend

She's upset

She's going off about something that you said

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in my room

It's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do'

But she wears short skirts

I wear T-shirts

She's cheer captain

And I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up

And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you can see I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see

You belong with me

You belong with me

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

Hey isn't this easy

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down

You say your fine

I know you better then that

Hey what you doing with a girl like that

She wears high heels

I wear sneakers

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up

And find that what what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you can see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know

Baby, you belong with me

You belong with me

Oh, I remember you drivin' to my house in the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're about to cry

And I know your favorite songs

And you tell me about your dreams

I think I know where you belong

I think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time

How could you not know

Baby you belong with me

You belong with me

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me

You belong with me

Raven was going to sing next. I was surprised by her choice in song. 'Mine' by Taylor Swift.

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables

Left a small town, never looked back

I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin'

Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts

I say, "Can you believe it?"

As we're lyin' on the couch

The moment, I can see it

Yes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember, we were sittin', there by the water?

You put your arm around me for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing, that's ever been mine

Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together

And there's a drawer of my things at your place

You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded

You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

And we got bills to pay

We got nothin' figured out

When it was hard to take

Yes, yes

This is what I thought about

Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?

You put your arm around me, for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing, that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?

You saw me start to believe, for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing, that's ever been mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

And I remember that fight, two-thirty a.m.

'Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands

I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye,

'Cause that's all I've ever known

Then, you took me by surprise

You said, "I'll never leave you alone"

You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.

And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.

I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.

She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing, that's ever been mine

Do you believe it?

We're gonna make it now

And I can see it

(I can see it now)

I finally got up. I decided to sing 'We are never, ever, getting back together' by, you guessed it, Taylor Swift.

I remember when we broke up, the first time

Saying, this is it, I've had enough

'Cause like we hadn't seen each other in a month

When you, said you, needed space (What?)

Then you come around again and say

Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me

Remember how that lasted for a day?

I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you

Oh we called it off again last night

But oh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever, ever getting back together

We are never ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever, ever, ever getting back together

Like, ever

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights

And me, falling for it screaming that I'm right

And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind

With some indie record that's much cooler than mine

Oh, you called me up again tonight

But oh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever, ever getting back together

We, are never ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (Talk to me)

But, we are never ever, ever, ever getting back together

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh oh oh

I used to think that we were forever ever, ever

And I used to say, never say never

Huh, so he calls me up and he's like, I still love you

And I'm like I just I mean this is exhausting, you know, like

We are never getting back together like, ever

(No!) We are never ever, ever getting back together

We, are never ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we, are never ever ever ever getting back together

We, are not getting back together,

We oh, not getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (Talk to me)

But we are never ever, ever, ever getting back together

Well, that's that. I'm thinking one more sleepover chapter, then training, then whatever I feel like.

BB: So, what happens when we come home?

Me: Not telling. *smirks at Beastboy's pout*

BB: Argh!
