Hey everyone! Here's the fourth chapter, I'm writing this way too fast, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Thanks so much Syd for the review, I'm glad you're enjoying! Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. Well, enjoy everyone!!

(Start Beast Boy's POV)

I soon reached the door at the end of the hall, shaking off the bad feelings that were beginning to leave me from passed that room. As I raised my hand to know I heard faint sobs from within. Man, how can she be upset by this? I think it's awesome! All of us do! Hope I can talk her through it.

knock knock "Hey, Ali? Umm, are you doing ok?" I nervously say, trying to keep my voice steady.

The door slid open and the sudden burst of sunlight was blinding. Ali was standing there, backlit with her hair shining more red then I had yet to see it. She was beaming up at me with shining tears in her eyes and streaming down her face. 'Of course I'm ok. Actually, I'm better than ever!," she said wrapping me in a hug. I hugged her back relieved that she wasn't upset as everyone had thought, she was trembling slightly and as she pulled away tears were still flowing.

"Come on in," she beckoned me while heading into her room. I followed close behind. She sat down on the foot of her bed and looked up happily to me as I sat next to her. As I sat there admiring the brilliant day outside her window I didn't know what say. For once in my life I was at a loss for words, heh.

"Beautiful afternoon isn't it? I think I have the best view of the bay in the tower. Some dolphins were out there playing a minute ago! I love dolphins," Ali said in a dreamy far off voice.

"Well then dolphins it is!" I exclaim, walking over to the window an flinging it open. I jump out and take the shape of a bird and soar out over the water, suddenly diving straight for the water, morphing at the last second to glide in as a dolphin. When I surfaced I looked for Ali, but didn't see her. Well she can shape shift can't she? Why didn't she follow? I look up and there she was, standing in the window smiling down at me. I flew back up and landed next to her, grabbing her hand. "Come on! Don't be afraid it's easy! We'll just fly out together, ready? 1..2..3!!" "NO, Beast Boy I can't!" she practically screams as I start pulling her toward the open window.

"What? Of course you can I saw you earlier with everyone else, you're a shape shifter…like me" I don't get it. Why's she being so timid? She certainly seemed brave before.

"BB I've been trying to shift since I got into my room, and no matter what it's always the same cheetah. I tried everything I could think of, and each time it's the same. I even resorted to jumping off the dresser in an attempt at forcing my mind to choose a bird, or anything but a cat. But it was the same," Ali said, still smiling as big as she was when I first came in. No. I thought she…I thought I could have someone to relate with, someone I could talk with. I thought she was like me. I walked back over to her bed and heavily sat down, a bit shaken at the loss of something I only knew existed a few moments ago.

(Aelis' POV)

As I turned to look at Beast Boy I noticed the expression on his face fire. It was a mixture of confusion and astonishment as he stared blankly out at the rolling waves in the bay. "Beast Boy, are you ok?" I asked, trying to bring him back down to Earth.

"Hmm? O, yea, I'm fine. Just thinking," he said in a dazed manner. Even though I barely knew him I could tell that he was upset by something. I had hoped he would be happy for me, he surely would understand the joy of finding out something this big. Then he spoke up, "Ali, I really am happy for you. I know how incredible it is to have something special like this be a part of you. I just, thought you were like me is all, but it's not a problem. Not at all!" He was speaking through his teeth.

"But we are the same, don't you see? Even if I can't become all of the things you can, I still have a part of that. We're still more alike then we were yesterday before we even knew about this." I tried to comfort him, he obviously had put a lot of stock into having someone to relate with. His expression didn't change much. I walked over and grabbed his hands, pulling him up and forcing him to focus. "Come on, let's go find the others, I bet they are wondering where we are," I said while pulling him towards the door. He still seemed dazed. O come on, this is ridiculous!! "You better cheer up or I'll be forced to drag you with my awesome strength!!!" I urged as I pulled him as hard as I could out into the hall. He brightened up at the challenge and grinning devilishly grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder as I kicked and giggled. "No way you're strong enough! I'm going to get you back for beating me last night so quit struggling," he shouted out as he began walking down the hall with me still flung on his shoulder like a sack of flour.

"Hey Ali?" "Yea BB?" "I'm glad you're here, it's way more fun and definitely more interesting now that we have a kitty!"

When he got to the door and walked in with me still on my perch giggling, all the Titans turned to us. "I got her up from her cat nap!" he exclaimed to everyone, receiving a groan from Robin at the attempt at humor.

(Start BB's POV again)

Starfire raced over to where I stood with Ali over my shoulder struggling to get out of my grip. "Friends! It is so good to see that you are alright and have come to join us in such a happy mood!" Robin walked over and put a hand on her shoulder, calming her down a bit while I put Ali down. Man that was no problem at all carrying her, she can't weight much! Guess Cy will fix that with bacon soon.

"Come on, let's talk a bit," Robin told us as he headed back to the couch, we followed behind. Wait, where's Raven? Probably holed up her room reading again or something. Should be in here celebrating with the rest of us. So creepy.

"Well, Aelis, I'm guessing that came as a bit of a shock to you," Robin started awkwardly.

"I had no idea about this, so yeah it was a bit of a shock. A big shock actually, but now that I know I'm happier than ever! It explains a lot about me, why I have really sharp hearing, why I really like meat, and why I've always been faster than the other kids. See, the thing is that I can only shift into a cheetah. I tried everything I could, but that's the only thing that happened, not that I'm complaining, I love cats," Ali cheerfully told everyone.

Starfire looked ready to explode from joy, but Robin kept a hand on her knee to keep her rooted down. "Well Ali, this might explain a few other things as well. Do you think maybe those people have been coming after you because of this?"

"I guess that is a possibility Robin, but you know what, I think I'm safer than ever right now. And if I ever see them I have a way to fight back!" Ali elatedly replied.

I leaned over to her and lowly asked, "Ali, I need to talk to the guys alone for a minute. Think you could get Raven for me and wait for me to come get you?"

"Yea sure, but why? Did I say something wrong?" Ali replied.

"No not at all, it's just, there's something we need to talk about. As a team, ok?" I said with a little more force. As she turned away to go I could see a bit of hurt in her eyes, she didn't like to be left out. Well, if all goes well with the team, she never will have to feel left out again.

(Start Ali's POV)

Why do I have to leave? I don't see what's so secret that I can't join in, or at least be quiet and listen. I continue musing as I head down the hall to Raven's room, cautiously knocking on the ominous door. "Hey Raven? The team wants you for a meeting or something in the main room. They won't let me join in." I solemnly say, hearing the sound of something close. The door slid open a few seconds later and Raven floated out and down the hall without a word or glance towards me. Well that was awfully rude! Although after what Star told me I shouldn't expect much compassion from her. I guess the last person they took in turned against them. But that won't happen this time! I sulk back to my room, closing the door and finding a book out of the bookshelf to read and pass the time while the Titans discuss some important matter than I am not allowed to hear.
