Ok, here is the last official chapter. There will be an Epilogue, but that should be up shortly, along with a dedication.
Thank you to all of my wonderful reviewers: QuietHermione, 1337StargateFan, SakuraBlossom1124, Rakahn, AylaWilson16, InuEdbabe, mattchew, CeleryScaresMe, zobmz64, and Duncan McGregor, you are all so cool and I give you all a giant basket full of cookies!
And no, this is not some crack ending, I actually have been planning this from the semi-beginning. I just forgot to explain it until now.
For those of you who didn't guess who Ty ends up with, this chapter confirms it.
Disclaimer: NOT MINE!!!
Raven sat down on the couch next to Thyme with a large book. It was leather bound, and seemed as if it came from another world. On the cover it simply read "Time".
"I found this in a stack of books I had read when I was first learning to control my powers. I had almost forgotten it by now. It talks about two legends that are referenced in just about every myth that ever existed, but no one ever thought they were for real… until now." She paused, her voice faltered. "You may not believe me, but I think you are the daughter of Father Time and Mother Nature."
Ty looked up at Raven with a confused look. She had never thought that those two people were actual people.
"In this book, it talks about how there is always one person on the planet that is set there to… regulate time." Robin continued where Raven had left off. "That person could go their whole lives not knowing that they can change time, because they are only there to keep it from stopping altogether. As long as this person is alive, time continues steadily."
Ty remembered the picture of her father from her one memory of him. He had watches all up and down his arms, it now made sense. "What about Mother Nature?"
"The same thing." Raven explained. "As long as you are alive, nature and life will continue steadily, unless you decide to change it."
Again, Ty remembered her memories of her parents, the picture of her mother, with the many leaves stuck in her hair seemed to stand out to her. It all made sense now. Her life, her purpose, and her power it was all clear now.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
It was October again. It had been a year since Beast Boy had run into Thyme on the streets of Jump City. They had grown so much since then. The two of them stood on the roof of the tower, content to be silent.
His hand reached out and met hers, his gloved fingers intertwined with her delicate hand. She turned to look at him, her eyes sparkled in the fading light. She watched his face closely and a feeling came over her that she recognized as a deep affection, maybe even love.
He felt her staring at him, and as he turned to look at her he caught a glimpse of her eyes. They showed so much about her, her feelings, her power, and most of all, they smiled for her. He looked directly at her now, and suddenly felt more insecure than he had ever felt before. She seemed to look right into his heart, and he was afraid of what she would find there.
"I… I…" He stuttered. She quickly stopped him with a kiss. At first he was surprised by it, but soon he had his arms wrapped around her waist, and she had hers around his neck.
She pulled away briefly, "I love you too." She said, eyes closed, and then pulled him back to her for a second kiss.
I know, romantic sap, gag me. NOW GO READ THE CHRISTMAS FIC!!!
