Hmm… what background info do you need to know for this? First thing, this takes place a few years in the future. They're all at least 19, lets say. I'm not really sure, didn't care all that much about that facet. Raven's defeated Trigon, and is able to feel emotion, but I think I say that in here somewhere… And for the setting, think one of those old country churches. The real small ones. It's reasonably close to one of those rivers with the old-fashioned bridges.

Oh yeah, and finally, Cyborg lets Beast Boy drive the T-Car. He's started to trust more people with it. I think I say that somewhere in here, too.

So, I tried to put some symbolism in here, I couldn't remember the butler's name (you'll see), and I don't think my description of the ring is enough to get across what I was thinking… If I can think of a better way, I'll put it in.

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters, don't own the song. So here we go.

"Well, there it is," Raven said, pointing out the front windshield.

"Yeah," Beast Boy answered unhappily, parking the T-Car across the street under a large maple tree. Cyborg had finally begun to trust others with his baby. He, Robin, and Starfire had all left early to prepare, leaving Beast Boy and Raven to drive out later.

"Are you going to be okay, Beast Boy?" Raven asked him. Her chakra jewel was no longer in place, since she had long-since learned to control her darker half, enabling her to feel. Today she was dressed in a black dress. After all, even a demonness should look nice for a friend's wedding.

"Yeah," Beast Boy said again, looking at the church which was barely half-full for the private ceremony. "I'm still kinda surprised that Terra and Speedy are getting married, though."

Raven set a consoling hand on his shoulder, then walked across the street, her dress shimmering in the morning sunlight.

Drove to the church

In my suit and tie

But I just couldn't bring myself

To go inside

Beast Boy sat there, alone, in his misery. He was glad that Terra was happy… but it wasn't because of him.

As he sat, lost in his thoughts, a white limousine pulled up in front of the church. The driver, whom Beast Boy immediately recognized as Bruce's butler, stepped out, waiting patiently in the beautiful garden in front of the church.

So I sat alone

In my truck across the street

Watched that chauffeur smokin' cigarettes

By that long white limousine

Images filled his mind. Beautiful, terrible images of the ceremony. Terra standing there in her wedding dress, smiling and blushing in the light from the windows, speedy standing proudly next to her…

I could just imagine What was goin' on in there

Sunlight streamin' through the stained glass

And those flowers in her hair

Before he knew it, he could hear the sounds of a celebration inside. It was finished.

And in less time than it takes a tear to fall

Those bells rang loud as thunder

As they opened up the doors

Now I don't have to wonder anymore

As the small company rushed out into the sunlight, Beast Boy plastered a smile to his face. As he started across the street, Starfire rushed across in her dress, going into great detail about the wedding.

Through the remainder of the festivities, Beast Boy tried to remain cheerful. After a while, though it was too much. He got back in the car as he watched the end.

Laughin' and a cryin'

Tossin' that bouguet

And when you got in that limo

I drove off the other way

"Where's he going?" Cyborg asked, frowning worriedly as his car sped out of sight down the country road.

"I don't know," Robin said, laughing as he watched Starfire fly around happily, "Probably just… Wait, Raven! Where're you going?" But she had already flown too far to hear him.

And I still don't know Why things happened like they did

But I parked that old pickup

On that lonesome river bridge

Beast Boy stopped the car on the old wooden bridge, getting out and staring miserably into the deep, clear water. He knew what he had to do.

I took your ring from my pocket

And I held it one last time

Watched that diamond sparkle

Beast Boy held the ring in numb hands. It was the one he'd bought for Terra, the day before he'd found out she was to marry Speedy. He'd held onto it, hoping that she'd change her mind.

The golden band, two thin pieces of highest-quality metal, was connected at the base but split as it neared the socket holding the diamond. Amethyst shards had been placed into these openings, the purple stones contrasting with the gold. In the center of both these pieces, carved from onyx, was embedded a rose.

The diamond, while small, had no blemishes. The light hit its uncountable facets, defracting the light into a rainbow on the bridge's dry wood.

I drew back and I let it fly

At the last second, though, the ring slipped, falling into the water before him. He watched it gleam as it sank swiftly to the bottom.

And in less time than it takes a tear to fall

Oh that old ring went under

And now it's gone for sure

And I don't have to wonder anymore

He stared after it, numb, disbelieving, uncaring. An oddly musical scream echoed in his ears as he felt his knees give out.

Well the angels sang like thunder

As I felt myself go under

Now I don't have to wonder anymore

As his lungs filled with water, he stretched his hand for the ring, the scream resounding through the water, oddly amplified. His vision blurred, and was filled with blue, then blackness as death embraced him.

Okay, I'm sorry if that didn't make much sense. If anyone out there reads this and understands what I meant with my description of the ring and can think of a more easily understandable way, please send it to me. Thanks, and please review.
