Chapter Two: Roses from me to you

The soft humming of the television filled the silence of the living room. A game long since forgotten paused in place on the fairly large screen. The rays of the sun shined down through the ceiling-to-floor windows that circled in a crescent shape around the edge of the tower. Nothing seemed to stir and if it wasn't for the light breathing of one lone figure on the couch, one could assume that nobody was even home.

Just the way she liked it. Okay so she didn't like always being alone but every now and again it was a nice little surprise to be able to read without someone telling you bad jokes. Without somebody starring at you with a goofy grin spread across their face and emerald eyes seeming to try and peer into your soul. Without the easy way they laughed, making it hard not to smile.

Her brow ceased a bit and she let out a small audible grunt, shifting uncomfortably at the sudden topic her brain had seemed fixated on. Not that she was curious or missed him or anything, but where had the little green teen scampered off to.

Debating an inward struggle to stay put or seek out the changeling, Raven decided to simply stay put. She knew why she wanted to find him and truth be told she wasn't quit sure if she was ready to venture out and see what that little kiss had been about. For all she knew it could have just been the green teens' way of saying 'Hey! Thanks for raising my ego! You're a good friend!' Frowning a bit at the thought she tried to bury her face deeper into the book. She would not think about this, she would not cross that bridge and find out that she had simply overreacted. She was not that girl and like hell if she started now.

The sound of the door swished open behind her and she waited to hear footsteps. Not hearing any such thing she turned the page of her book and listened as the alien princess hovered her way over to the spot in front of her.

"Good evening friend Raven, have you seen our friends Cyborg and Beastboy? I have search but to no prevail have I found them."

"I'm sure they just went out Starfire, don't worry about it." The alien princess pouted and slowly hovered to sit down beside the empath. For a moment there was silence and Raven steadied herself for the quiet to be filled. She didn't wait long as lime-green eyes slowly landed on hers with excitement buzzing behind them.

"Maybe you and I could do the… hanging of the out?" Raven let out a small sigh but inside she could feel herself smiling ever just slightly. Even the empath could barely resist the charm of the alien princess.

"Reading Starfire." That didn't mean she didn't try.

"Oh I see…" Her smile wavered and for a moment silence fell between the two of them once more. The alien princess started to glance around the living room, seeing how empty it seemed to be without the clutter of three teenage boys to fill it. Frowning a bit she leaned against the cushions of the couch and starred blankly ahead of her, Raven feeling the disappointment coming off of her in waves.

"… Why not go see Robin?" The young empath winced as Starfire seemed to sink even more into the couch.

"Boyfriend Robin is doing of the training… and told me that as much as he enjoys my company it would be wise not to let me be near him as he does the training of the course of obstacles for I am too much of the distraction." Raven sighed in defeat and guilt as she turned a page of her book. Slowly the alien princess turned her lime-green eyes to glance up at the empath who tried to bury herself deeper into the book.

It was coming and she had to be ready for it. She braced herself and forced herself to stare harder at the ink full pages in front of her. She would not lose this battle, she would not succumb!

"Maybe… you and I could do of the chatting of the girls?" Starfire's eyes begin to tremble with both tears and hope, her bottom lip quivering ever so slightly. Raven's defenses failed, her walls crumbled, and she was defeated. Once more the violet haired girl sighed and gave a nod of her head; at least she could talk and read at the same time. Starfire squealed and literally jumped up from the couch to do hoops of joy in the air before landing on her knees beside the empath. Lime-green eyes shimmered and stared intently at the younger girl. Raven cringed a bit uneasily and only spared a glance at the alien girl beside her before turning her attention back to her book.

"What would you like to talk about?"

"Friend Beastboy!" Her heart leapt and fingers tightened around the edge of the book. She couldn't have known! Could she? Of course not! Trying to keep her composure and powers in line she forced herself to turn the page in her book.

"Oh? And what of him?" The alien princess appeared not to buy it. She stared even more intently at the other girl and wore a smile from ear to ear.

"Has he not been paying especially the attention of more to you as of late?" Raven shifted uncomfortably.

"Has he? I didn't notice." LIES! She sent Rude a mental glare inside of her mind and turned another page of her book. Starfire simply stared and smiled.

"Do you think he is maybe preparing the ritual of the mating process?" Raven cringed and felt her cheeks begin to flush. Dark blue-violet eyes moved to land on the girl beside her with the unique coloring of eyes.

"I think you mean dating… and I do not know… I do not presume to even begin to try and figure out the way in which Beastboy's mind works." With that she turned back to her book and forced her mind to focus. However, her answer did not stop Starfire from staring. If anything the girl began to smile more and even let out a small chuckle. Raven could feel her eyebrow begin to twitch and brought the book higher up to try and hide behind it. Still, the alien girl stared and stared and stared; all the time smiling as if she was a cheshire cat. Feeling her temper start to stir the shorter girl clutched at her book. "…Yes?"

"Nothing." She chuckled and Raven felt her eyebrow twitch.

"… What?"

"Nothing." She chuckled again and this time Raven lowered her book a few inches and glared over the top of it at the alien princess. The redhead only answered by closing her eyes and sending her a full hearted smile from ear to ear.

"Starfire… answer the question." Chuckling the alien princess couldn't help but squeal and clap.

"You and friend Beastboy will make of the cutest of pairings! Like mustard and the peanut of butter!" Raven's eyes widen in shock from both the pairing and blushed from the compliment all at the same time.

"Starfire you're getting ahead of yourself here! We don't even know if Beastboy likes me like that."

"Do you not like friend Beastboy?"

"Of course I do! I mean… I don't… I mean…" Crap. The alien princess was smirking at the success of her plan and Raven had all but written a confession. "I mean, that is…crap." Starfire was twirling around in the air, full of excitement once more while Raven sat on the couch, slapping her forehead.

"Oh joyous day! I knew that the two of you soon would be doing of the dating like Robin and I and Friend Cyborg and Friend Sarah!" Raven grumbled and tried to do three things all at once. Keep from blushing, reign in her emotions that were all but laughing or frowning at the trap, and keeping her powers in check, it was not an easy process.

"Starfire… please. I… I don't know what I feel for Beastboy. Yes I feel something… but you can't say anything to him until I'm sure… can you do that for me, Starfire?" The alien princess had long ago stopped doing acrobatic air flips and was now hovering in front of a blushing Raven. Though the smile was still plastered to her face, it was more restrained and she nodded quickly.

"Oh yes Friend Raven! I shall do that! But… If you are confused about the liking of friend Beastboy, would it not be best to see what may come of these feelings? I am most certain friend Beastboy would enjoy exploring these concerns with you." Raven blinked and watched the alien girl as if she had two heads. Slowly the empath nodded and couldn't help but let a small smile cross her face.

"I think you are right Star… I… I'll talk to him next time I see him." Starfire smiled and finally landed on her feet in front of her friend.

"Most glorious! Now! Come let us make the feast of lunch! Friend Cyborg left before I could so I am most anxious to cook for you and boyfriend Robin!" Going to object, Raven was cut off as the stronger and taller girl grabbed her by the arm and off they bounded to the kitchen. Sighing to herself the violet hair girl sent Knowledge to go and search for remedies for the stomach.

"Dude just TRY it."

"Dude I am not gonna try it!"

"Come on! How do you know you don't like it if you won't even TRY it?!"

"I don't have to eat sewage to know I don't like it! Some things you just know, man! And I know I ain't gonna like it!"

The two teens yelled back and forth as a slice of pizza was pushed forward and then back into the original owner's face.

"Dude that's just down right mean! Comparing my food to sewage!"

"No, cause sewage smells better! Seriously BB what the hell are you trying to do?! Make me sick!" Finally giving up, the green changeling muttered to himself and bite into the slice of tofu pizza. Seeing his friend had given up, Cyborg let out a sigh of relief and started to consume his own slice. It wasn't that he was trying to hurt his little buddy's feelings; he just preferred to eat meat.

The older teen pretended not to notice as the green teen pouted and ate his food, muttering something about sewage and tofu and someone just being jealous at the tastiness of it. Not able to help it, Cyborg smiled and leaned back in his seat.

It was a nice day and the sun was shinning down softly upon them. The plants they had bought sat neatly in the seats next to them, seeming to radiate in the powers of the sun. Picking up his soda, the half robotic teen started to sip on it. It wouldn't be too long before his girlfriend would be arriving at the airport after being away at school for several months. It had been excoriating at first but after awhile it become slightly easier. Not that he was saying he didn't still miss her like crazy; but the nights didn't seem to drag on as much. It didn't ache as much when he would go out with the kids, play softball with them. It was still hard though and he missed having someone around who didn't see him as more than half a machine. Someone who saw him for what he was. The kind, sweet, funny, sometimes series, and gentle human he was. A human being who had feelings and who liked cars, sports, movies, and being able to laugh and enjoy his life and the company of others. It was nice to have a person who loved him for who he was and what he was and didn't fear it.

Blinking back into this century, he chuckled slightly embarrassed as his best friend waved his arms back and forth to capture his attention.

"Sorry, what?" Beastboy let out a sigh of both relief and annoyance.

"Dude don't do that! I thought you short circuited or something!" Cyborg laughed and rubbed the back of his head.

"Nah dude was just thinking about Sarah." Immediately Beastboy's ears perked up and his eyebrows began to wiggle up and down.

"Ooooo I see. A little row-mance, eh eh?" Cyborg chuckled at the very bad French accent and picked up his plant.

"Don't make me hit you man, I don't wanna have to carry your little green butt back to the tower." He smirked and started towards the door, leaving the green teen to pretend he was making out with someone. It took him a moment to stop imagining a pretend girlfriend and he grabbed his pant and followed his best friend.

"Hey Dude don't leave me! And like you could take me!"

"Oh I think we both know I could."

"No way! Anyway. When do you pick up your girl?" Cyborg blushed a bit and glanced down at the basket of forget-me-nots.

"Tonight… have a whole evening planned and everything. Nothing too major though, you know what with jet lag and all." Beastboy nodded and walked down the sidewalk to the T-car. Cyborg glanced down at the green teen that seemed to be staring at the plant from the flower shop. "Something on your mind there, little buddy?" Beastboy nodded and shifted the weight of the plant in his hands as he walked to the side of the T-car, opening the door and getting in. He waited for Cyborg to slide into the driver seat and took the moment to take in a deep breath and let it out.

"It's just… It's Raven…"

"Yeah, what about her?" Beastboy fell silent again and starred at the plant as if it held the words he was looking for. Cyborg started to drive and they sat in silence for a moment, the older teen knowing that sometimes the silence helped you to gather your courage.

"I… I really like her… like… a lot lot… you know I always have…" The older teen said nothing and kept driving. Beastboy shifted in his seat and tried to grasp at the words that kept slipping out of his grip. "I… I know she finds me immature and I know she doesn't like my jokes much and she seems so closed off at times… okay a lot of times but… I just…she drives me insane, crazy, up the wall! She hits me and she lashes out at me a lot. She hardly ever laughs and she's so quick to lose her temper… at least at me and…" Silence. Cyborg could hear the discomfort in the air, could practically see the fear radiating off of his best friend. "She smiles… and it captures my heart… she laughs and I want to try harder to make her laugh, even at my own expense… I want to make her smile, I want to make her happy…she makes me… mature, she brings out the good and the bad in me but if anyone ever hurt her…" Slowly the tension in the car started to drift out and the smile returned to the green teen's voice. "Remember that time she tried to cook? Here I thought Star's food was toxic… lately she's been trying to tell jokes… it make me feel like I'm a lot funnier than I really am. She always has my back, always forgives me for whatever little or major thing I do. She stands beside me and lets me know when I'm wrong, that's important you know? Oh Yeah! She also says I'm important! That I'm vital to this team!" Cyborg smiled and arched an eyebrow, giving his friend a quick glance before watching the road. He was smiling ear to ear and though it took a lot of effort on the oldest teen's part, he didn't crack a joke. "She makes me more than I am… you know, dude? She makes me… iunno dude… she just makes me…"

"A man?" The words caused the green teen to practically glow. He nodded his head several times, throwing his arms out as if he had found his voice.

"Exactly! A man! It's like she sees me and knows I'm more than I seem! That she takes the good with the bad!" He smiled and leaned back in his seat, causing Cyborg to chuckle. "So it's settled… I'm no longer Beastboy. I'm Garfield Logan! Well… Gar to friends." Cyborg blinked. Apparently he had missed a large section of this conversation.

"…What?" Beastboy blinked and chuckled, placing his hands behind his head.

"Weren't you listening dude?! I'm Gar now. I'm no longer a boy… I have to be more mature… have to be the adult I'm coming to terms with being."

"… Alright, I can see that but dude… ain't no way I'm not calling you BB. That will now and forever be your nickname. Along with saladhead, cabbage man, green bean, grass stain-"

"Okay! I got it! For you dude, BB but Gar to everyone else!"

"What about the team? We like calling you Beastboy and we both know in battle we ain't going to be calling out no Garfield. People think we lost our cat or something."

"…Okay fine! And the team too… cept Rae. She has to call me Gar, along with everyone else."

"But man, the public have gotten use to chanting out Beastboy an-"

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! Just Rae! Rae will call me Gar! Makes it more special anyway…" Cyborg smirked and watched as Beastboy thought it over; seeming to smile slightly at the way things had turned out. "Yeah… kind of like a petname… good thinking me!" Cyborg chuckled and turned back to the road.

The blob wiggled and swayed side to side before collapsing in a final breath of air. Raven watched with both fascination and concern as Starfire started to plop the burnt yet squishy substance onto the plate. Blue-violet eyes watched as the alien princess placed the… whatever-the-hell-it-was, creation in front of her. Slowly she poked at it with a fork and swore she heard it gasp out a breath of air.

"I am not eating this." She said in a monotone voice as Starfire blinked in confusion.

"You do not wish to consume the dough of flatness?" Raven eyed the lump in front of her and felt her eyebrow twitch in horror.

"This… thing… is a pancake?" Starfire seemed confused and placed her hands on her hips.

"What do you mean friend Raven? Does it not look like the flat disc of dough?"

"No. It does not. Which is why I am not eating this." The door swished open and Raven let out a small joyous squeal. On the inside anyway, it was just who she wanted to see. "Robin look, Starfire made you lunch." With that, the empath pushed the plate across the counter to a quickly becoming nervous boy wonder.

"Oh er… looks… good Star."

"Do you really think so boyfriend Robin?!" The alien girl's eyes widen in excitement as she moved to stand in front of the boy wonder. Robin shifted underneath her gaze and forced an uneasy smile to his face.

"O-o-Of course Star… your food is always…um... interesting." Her eyes widen in love as she squealed and jumped up and down. Robin took this moment to send glares at the young empath who watched with both interest and humor from across the counter. Before Robin had a chance to say anything else, he had a spoon shoved into his mouth. Eyes widen and the boy wonder fell to his knees and started to cough up the burning and overly seasoned toxic thing in his mouth.

Starfire blinked and frowned at the action and hugged the plate closer to her person.

"It is not… yummy?" Robin quickly shook his head and tried to talk over the turning and twisting building in his stomach.

"It-It's not that… It's just… I umm..." He coughed again and stood up to lean against the counter for support as Starfire watched him, pouting slightly.

"He wants to go out for pizza is all." Two pair of eyes moved to the young empath who watched them with a stoic look on her face. Inside however, she was both laughing and feeling guilty at what had just occurred. She had sacrificed a friend to save herself and in a way it had worked. Now however, she had to make up for it. "And afterwards maybe we can go… shopping." Stafire's eyes lit up and she flew over to her best female friend, arms embracing the shorter girl in a hug.

"Oh Friend Raven! You wish to do the shopping of the earthly clothes with me!"

"… Yes" Robin smiled and gave her a thumbs up behind his girlfriend's back. Raven just rolled her eyes and blew a strand of hair from her face. Sometimes she was too nice.

Blonde hair waved in the wind as her laughter seemed to dance around them. She was surrounded by her two best friends and they chatted about nothing of importance. That was the way it was suppose to be. That was the way teens should always be. Not fighting crime, not living on their own, but surrounded with friends and good times.

"Terra Markov! Terrrraaaaa Markov! Is there a Terry in the house! Er... street!" The three girls turned around to see an older woman in her late twenties standing behind them. She was tall and slender, dressed in a giant flower outfit of green spandex. By the looks of things she was suppose to be a daisy and in a child's school play. Golden hair split in pigtails sprouted out in front of the yellow, polyester material of the petals. Her eyes were a soft hue of baby blue but it was the smile that caused the teens to take a step back. She had the strangest, widest smile either of them had ever seen and a look of laughter and something else in her eyes.

Terra glanced at her friends before glancing forward at the blonde woman in front of her. Should she answer or just hurry her and her friends along? This didn't seem right but again when a grown woman in a flower outfit stops you on the street, when was it ever suppose to 'seem right'. Before she could think to stay or flee the woman leaned in close and let the smile widen more along her black lips.

"Hey toots! You Terry?"

"… It's… It's Terra." The smile fell and she arched an eyebrow, genuinely looking confused.

"That's what I said! Terry! Geesh! I got a flower delivery for ya!" Finally leaving the teen's personal space, Terra took a moment to glance at her friends for advice. They were standing there just as confused as her and she could only shrug before watching the older woman. She was rummaging through a bag on her person, shifting things around with her tongue hanging from the corner of her mouth. Finally a large smile rushed across her lips and she turned back around in a hurry, pulling something from the bag. "Here we go!"

Terra closed her eyes and waited for the worse. Moments passed before she realized nothing had happen. Slowly blue eyes open and she instantly felt her cheeks start to blush. In front of her were a bundle of red roses.

"Th-these are for me?" The woman nodded and smiled even more (if that was possible.) Hesitantly the blonde teen moved hands and took the bundle into her arms, watching the red flowers closely. She could hear the 'awes' and 'how lucky!' coming from her friends and couldn't help but smile a bit proudly and unsurely.

"That's not all! With the roses! Comes a poem!" The teens blinked as the woman produced a harmonica from out of nowhere. Blowing into it a few times she cleared her throat and took a step back.

"Oh y-y-you don't have to worry-" She was cut off as the woman began.

"Roses are bright! Daises are nice!" Terra arched an eyebrow as the woman let her voice get a bit louder. "I have a conniption! When you're out of sight!" She spun in a circle. "My heart races!" She stopped spinning and shot her arms out in front of her in a whooshing movement. "My pulse soars!" Now her hands moved in a circle over her head to come down and rest fist on her hips. "I start to realize! Hey toots, Ya ain't such a bore!" Terra felt her eye start to twitch nervously and the woman started to skip in place before stopping and clasping her hands together, leaning in to bat her eyes at the teen trio. "Walkin' down the street! Our eyes meet!" Beaming from ear to ear she twisted her head in an awkward tilt and brought both hands up to point at her teeth. "And I see that ya finally got that thing out of your teeth!" Leaning back she stuck out of her left hip and clasped her hands together against her cheek, looking off into space. "So I smile and you smile too!" Now the woman was bouncing up and down, clapping, and tossing her arms up and down in a cheering pose. "And then I laugh, clap, and squeal!" She started to spin on one foot down the sidewalk a few paces before stopping. Now the tall woman swooped a leg around to use the momentum to do a cartwheel, twisting her body at the last second to spring herself into the air. In the air she contorted her body to do a somersault and landed on a knee in front of the girls, arms flung out wide with that creepy smile back on her face. "And say, Ah Puddin! I love yew!"

Silence. It remained that way for a good while as the teens stared down at the woman in front of them. Not certain what to do, they did the one thing they teach you to do in high school. They started to clap awkwardly and this seemed to be the right response because the woman's grin grew. Doing a back-flip she landed on her feet and bowed at the waist.

"Thank ya! Thank ya! No applause please! Just throw money!" This caused the girls to chuckle a bit. That's when the woman's smile disappeared and she leaned back in to close the distance between Terra and her. "Seriously toots, where's my tip?"

"Oh! Of course! So-sorry!" Terra started to dig through her pockets, the woman's hand still held out and waiting. Finally the teen pulled out a dollar and handed it over to the taller blonde. The woman frowned and stared at the dollar and then back at the girl in front of her and then back at the dollar. Terra frowned and went to say something but was cut off by the freaky smile that crossed the woman's face again.

"Thanks Toots! Remember! Have a rosy day! Get it! Rosy!" Terra only forced a small nervous chuckle for a reply. This woman's jokes were almost as bad as his. She frowned at the stray thought until she felt her friends by her sides. Smiling slightly she watched as they searched for a card.

"Oh you're so lucky! I bet it's from Johnny! He was totally eyeing you the other day!"

"I wish someone would buy me flowers!"

"Who sent them?" Trying to calm down her two friends, Terra laughed and started to search for a card and found one tucked behind the middle rose. She plucked the white folded card from behind the rose and began to read.

"Okay let's see! It says, 'Love is worth fighting for' but it doesn't have a signature." Feeling a bit disappointed she shrugged a bit and glanced at her friends. They looked ready to burst with excitement.

"oooooo How romantic! I'm so jealous!"

"Me too! He's going to fight for you and he's a secret admirer! Lucky!" She smiled and went to thank the delivery woman but when she looked around, she was nowhere to be seen. The other girls seemed to notice and only waved it away, slipping an arm each in one of Terra's.

"She probably had a bunch more to delivery! Who do you think sent them?" Terra smiled and shrugged as the trio started to walk down the sidewalk, chatting about all the boys who liked her and who it could be. After all this is what teenage girls talk about, this is what being a regular girl is. Talking about boys, school, chores, make-up, shopping, who likes whom, and trying to survive adolescence with friends that understood?

So the teen girls walked arm and arm down the sidewalk, never glancing back at the two figures who watched them go. They never notice the shorter woman let a small sly smile cross her lips. For that is being a teenager. Forgetting the world and the horrors it carries. Forgetting that they are not immune to violence and being used as someone's leverage or pawn. Soon enough though, old scars would reopen and old wounds would bleed. For being a teenager, it also means that it is harder to forget, harder to let go, and harder to move on. So the woman smiled and turned on her heels to walk in the opposite direction, her associate close behind.

"Come on Har, we have four hours before that drug kicks in. I'll treat you to a movie."

"YIPPEE! Can I keep the costume on?!"

"No."

"Awww but what if I don't want to leave. Get it! Leave!" She wiggled the sleeve of the costume at her friend. Her friend was not amused and swatted the hand away.

"I repeat. No"

"Gee Red who put a thorn in your side. Get it?!" The redhead felt her temple start to twitch.

"I mean it Harl…"

"Gee, for a plant lady you ain't too sunny." She clutched her hands several times and reminded herself that there was only so much of this she would have to take. The taller woman was only staying until her little master decided he wanted his lap dog back.

"For a jester, you're not very funny."

"Gee Red, you're no fun at all." The other woman smirked and walked down the sidewalk with her associate folding her arms and pouting like a three year old along side her.

Four hours later the young teen stood in the backroom of the flower shop. Blue eyes gazed over as she let the smell of the flowers ensnare her. Her head was dizzy and she couldn't seem to focus, didn't even know where she was. One moment she was in her room and the next it was all dark. So very dark.

She could feel her body swaying but couldn't make out anything, her brain wasn't working. Soft voices floated in the air, giggles, and then shushing sounds. Was she dreaming? Is that why she couldn't understand anything but at the same time, know everything? Her head was starting to hurt from the thinking and she could feel her stomach growing upset.

Hands rested on the young blonde's shoulder and led her to sit down on a chair. She obeyed and sat, swaying a bit even as she was taken off of her feet.

"That's a good girl… I have a few questions, think you can be a dear and answer them for me?"

"Y-Yes… I can do that…" Do what? What was she talking about? Who was she talking to? What was her last thought? Something was wrong here.

"Good girl… you use to date the green kid, right?"

"Beastie boy! I heard he was a real, animal!" Laughter rung about the room and the shorter woman sent a glare to a familiar blonde beside her. No, not familiar, yet very familiar. The red head looked back down at Terra and smiled sweetly. She was pretty, much prettier than her, they always were though.

"Beast… boy? Oh Beastboy… I never meant… that is I-I… I only wanted to…" The redhead raised an eyebrow as the blonde teen started to stammer and tears built behind her eyes.

"Only wanted to what?"

"Only wanted to sing! No wait! Dance? No wait! Feed the animal? HA! Get it?!"

"Har, Hush! This toxin only works for an hour, hour and a half tops. We don't have time for your little jokes."

"Beastboy told jokes… very bad ones… he always talked about her… it was always about her and her stupid life… and her stupid father and her anger… but in the end I won. In the end his heart was mine and she was alone… he chose me!" Raising an eyebrow, the redhead crossed her arms over her chest and the blonde woman only let out a small chuckle.

"Wow Red, who'dda thought! Stuttering sunshine has a little anger streak!"

"Well Har… love is worth fighting for." Theirs eyes met and they laughed. Shaking her head, the red head moved closer to the teenage blonde who stared blankly ahead. Curling an arm around the teen's shoulder, she leaned in and spoke softly. "My dear girl… Did Beastboy ever tell you about 'her' love life?" The girl snarled and her face twisted in anger.

"Y-Yes… talked about her all the time when I was encased in stone… when I put my life on the line to save the city! When I-I tried to…It doesn't matter! In the end you forgive! In the end it's a rule y-y-you forgive! No matter what…"

"Yes yes, lovely. Now focus, the girl."

"Yes… he would talk about Malchior… Malchior who broke poor Raven's heart… about Malchior and Rorek... about the book Raven had fallen for… Leave it to the dark and sad girl to fall for a guy from another universe… yet he still talked about her… about her looks… about how Malchior hurt her…about… about… he should have waited…" She could feel something warm hit against her cheeks, memories forcing their way back into her head after so long. So very very long.

She could feel her head swimming with old memories as the present ones seemed to be pushed further back in her mind. The burning feeling cause her to let out a soft moan of pain, hanging her head down. What was going on? What were these memories! Beastboy… Raven… Robin, Starfire, Cyborg… There was laughter and there was betrayal. There were promises and even a bit of love… a promise to control her powers. Powers? What powers? She winced and growled as memories came back to life. Walks by the shore, funny stories and lame jokes all from a green teen too afraid to be alone and unliked. She saw laughing faces and obstacles courses, a girl laying in the mud as she stood over her; bragging about being able to bring them all down. Memories of friends and a rivalry that was put aside for friendship she had thought would never exist. The same friendship however was thrown back into the violet haired girl's face, for power.

"Gee Red, she don't look so good."

"It seems, my dear Har, that the girl has some repressed memories. They are resurfacing as the present ones are being forced to the back of her mind. Tsk tsk, I do so hope she makes it or this might put a damper on my plans."

"I guess you could say that's one, splitting headache! Get it! Cause one side wants to come up and the other wants to go down!" The redhead did not look amused and the blonde only shrugged sheepishly, speaking in a quiet voice. "Tough room."

"Beastboy…" They turned their attention back to the young teen that now held her head in her hands.

"Gee Red… she looks like she's gonna pass out."

"That's fine, I only have a few more questions and then you can return her back to her room. It'll be like she was never here and she won't recall your face."

"Aww what a shame! It is such a nice one after all. Mistah J says I got a killer smile!" The redheaded woman rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the child in the chair.

Terra jolted upwards in her bed and gasped for air, blue eyes darting about the room. Her lungs seemed on fire and she could feel her pulse racing but could not seem to remember why. Slowly eyes drifted about the room to see if anything was out of place and soon they landed on the vase of roses on her night stand. 'What a weird dream… wait what." She blinked as she tried to remember the dream but could only hear the slightest sound of a laugh and soon even that died away.

Shaking the lingering thoughts of nothing from her head she pulled back the covers and got out of bed. She made her way over to the roses and slowly let a finger glide across the soft texture of the red petals.

"Beastboy… I remember… I remember everything." Her finger hit something and she picked up the folded white card. Tilting her head to the side she opened it and read the words, 'Love is worth fighting for.' Her mind ran in circles and suddenly stopped on a familiar image. She watched the young green teen move in closer to her, his hopes and desires waiting on his lips. Subconsciously a hand moved up to land on her lips and she frowned a bit. She had loved two men and in the end she went with the older one who had used her, like she had used… She shook the thought from her head and hugged the card close to herself.

So she had messed up, so she had tried to kill them that didn't mean she didn't deserve happiness! She wanted Beastboy and years ago he had come looking for her. Had still wanted her and she wanted him. She wanted to be with him, to hug him, to laugh with him again. Fingers curled around the card and a slow smile spread across her lips. Tomorrow she was going to reclaim her love life. Tomorrow she was going to fight for him because… because he loved her for who she was and maybe, just maybe he still did. After all, you know what they say. You never forget your first love.

A/N: Dun dun dun? Please don't kill me. ^^;
