GUESS WHO'S BACK?

Okok I'll leave a note at the end of the chapter because you sure want to know whats going on, so hey, I'll shut up now and you guys just read k? kk

Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song, and make it better…

Remember, to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better…

Richard buttoned up his vest and turned down his speakers. He looked at his reflection, with a loop sided grin. He wasn't sure of how the night would turn out, but still decided to start it off to the good side, by meeting his friends at the dance, instead of having Terra coming with him and making everyone know who his date was. He got himself ready and ruffled his hair.

He still had to go through another awkward situation before THE awkward situation. He had to go pick up Terra.

"This better be worth it." He said to himself turning off his speakers.

Ruffling his hair, he sighed annoyed and ran down the stairs. A flash blinded his eye for a second. He rubbed them and opened them quickly afterwards. He found Selina's disappointment face looking at the camera screen.

"Dick! You closed your eyes!" She said pouting.

"I am… sorry?" He said still kind of blinded by the lighting effect. She surrounded Richard like a predator, making him look around nervously. Bruce shook his head softly, feeling sorry for the teen.

"You look…" She looked for an appropriate word for several second, gesturing with her hands.

"Fine." Bruce finished for her. "You can go now, Dick." He said. Selina smiled at Richard gleefully.

"Have an amazing time." She said grabbing his hands in hers.

"I'll try." He said truthfully.

He walked down the stairs of his house and looked around, ruffling his hair. He made his way to Terra's house, walking, as his mind clouded up with thoughts. As much as he tried, he couldn't get rid of that ridiculously annoying knot in his stomach.

Being the stubborn little kid he was at times, he tricked himself into thinking that he actually liked taking Terr a to the dance, but he couldn't stop seeing her as the person she really was. The one who betrayed them, but still, saved their lives.

A traitor; but still a Teen Titan.

An enemy; but still a friend.

She was dead; but still a hero.

He tripped on a tiny stone on the sidewalk and let loose a swear under his breath. With his hands in his pockets he kept walking, face down, until he reached school.

He could hear the loud music from a block away and he saw the school from afar as well, flashing with purple lights and reflectors shooting into the sky. Dresses floated from the entrance and he could hear chattering and laughs as well.

And that was just the beginning.

The school's auditorium was beautifully decorated. With flowers stacked as centerpieces and balloons floating about. The tables were organized, giving space to at least 10 couples to sit down at the same time, and it was getting fuller by minute. He saw none of his friends inside at the time, so he decided to wait for them, or Terra, whoever got there first at the entrance. When he sat down he looked around the guys with tuxedos and brushed hair to perfection, and the girls with extravagant updo's and long dresses. He had almost forgot what it felt like to be a normal teenager, but something inside him didn't let him enjoy it too much. He felt watched, as if, someone was stalking his every move. He moved his eyeball without moving his head to the left and found two constant eyes, effectively, stalking.

Garret just stood there, straight line as a mouth, eyes constantly looking. Richard ignored him until he saw Victor pulling up on the sidewalk. He had to admit it, he felt relieved.

"Yo, Dickie." Victor said with a friendly bump on the arm. He wore a red tie over his closed vest. Needless to say, he looked completely different. Karen came close behind with the yellow strapless dress she bought and a side braid.

Richard smiled. "Hey Victor, Karen."

"Where's your date?" She asked with a smile.

"Uh, she'll be here any minute." He said with a grin. Victor let out a low 'mhhm' and crossed his arms.

"I'm not telling." Richard said seriously.

"Aw man! Come on we deserve to know." Victor pleaded.

"You'll know when she gets here." Richard smiled. He still liked to annoy Victor, that's something that hadn't changed.

Wally and Jinx walked over to them. As Jinx and Karen complimented each other the three boys spoke.

"So uhm.." Wally started.

"Don't push it, kid. He's not saying anything." Victor held up a hand to silence him.

Richard look at Wally then back at Victor. "You so had this planned."

"Dude, it's our job after all, to tease you with whoever your date it." Wally said. "Besides this is nothing, wait till Gar comes, and the real teasing will start."

"I am so looking forward to it." Richard said sarcastically.

"And look who's coming around right now." Richard turned his head over to see Gar and Kory walking towards them. They were still pretty far, but Richard noticed how gorgeous she looked, and a smile crept over his face.

Gar greeted everyone, as well as Kory, leaving a goofy smile plastered on Richard's face when she kissed his cheek lightly.

"So uh…" Wally started again.

"You gotta change your conversation starter, man." Victor commented.

"Whatever, I just want to know if…"

"You go in, I'll be there soon." Richard said silencing Wally once more.

"Are you sure cause we can wait for whoever your date is…"

"That would be me." A bubbly voice said from behind. Richard found Terra dressed in a dress that stopped right above her knees in little twirls, bright yellos that went with her hair which was held up in a ponytail. She smiled sweetly.

"Kory squeezed Gar's hand and followed him inside, obviously tense so she figured that in order to stop any awkward looks they'd disappear.

"Terra, what a surprise!" Victor said with fake enthusiasm.

"Surprise indeed." Wally commented.

She ignored the looks and walked inside dragging Richard with her. Once inside she crossed her arms and look around.

"Wanna dance?" She said.

Richard narrowed his eyes. "I think you owe me an explanation."

Terra sighed heavily. "Fine, what do you want to know?"

"What was supposed to be in Kory's closet?"

Terra rolled her eyes. "You know how prestigious the Anders are?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Garret needed something to get his dad out of jail and that wasn't going to fall from the sky, so he blackmailed me into breaking into the house, since I would have done it less violently, but let's say, I don't play by his rules." Terra explained.

"And he decided to hurt you today at the coffee shop?"

"Not hurt me, no. Just wants me to feel bad for not helping him." Her expression softened. "I am not a bad person, Dick. I didn't want to break into Kory's house because she doesn't deserve it, and you and I know it."

"Why are you here with me then?"

She seemed to think for a moment. "I need your help."

Richard blinked. "Keep talking."

"Garret will ambush the school until he gets what he wants, and knowing Garfield he will stand in the way so she doesn't get hurt. I don't want that to happen, I couldn't live with the guilt."

"You still care about him, don't you?" Dick skipped the whole point and looked at her. For once in his life, he actually felt the same as Terra.

"Yes." She looked at Gar from across the room. "I do."

He placed a hand on her shoulder and offered a sincere smile. "I'll help you."

Terra smiled. "Awesome."

You… probably hate me.

So many things have been going on, school exams, the young justice crossover that is in line and ugh, I can't handle it all.

I'll be sure to update this fic as soon as possible.

And excuse any grammatical errors please, not my first language. *nervous laugh*
