(A/N: The song is "Your Song" by Elton John. I hope you like it. I'd also like to receive comments on Gerard and Red X / Raven, and any reviews you want to express! Enjoy!)

"Tara, where you going today, honey?"

"To Gerard's, mom!"

Ms. Markov's head peered up from behind her fitting blinds. "Who?"

"Oh, St. Pierre's Bakery, I mean!" Terra corrected. Her mother huffed.

"The past three days you were there for a few hours, and you're not getting that much fatter. What have you been doing?"

Terra was trying on different shoes while she explained what she had done outside with Gerard.

"Trust me, I've only eaten one slice of cheesecake a day. I can spend hours talking to Gerard, mother. He's great to talk to." Terra giggled at the memory of her last conversation with Gerard. Finally, she picked her pair of shoes; Cinderella-dress blue and ribbons for laces. "Okay, I'm off!"

Terra exited her room. She looked around the big area that separated her room and the door to exit the castle cautiously.

"Slade," she sighed, and Slade revealed himself. "Again, you're back."

"Yes," Slade drawled calmly. "I have been wondering something, and have kept an eye on you these past few days."

"What?" Terra said threateningly. She swore that if Slade had been following her every single second, she would tear the Castle down just to hurt him.

"Don't worry, only when you're here," Slade said. "Anyway, I want to know if you've been feeling... different."

Terra clenched her fists. Slade was the last person she wanted to have a conversation with right now.

"Any..." Slade continued. "Different thoughts?"

"Is this for your and Beast Boy's ridiculous mission? Give it up!"

"If you are so sure it's untrue, then you wouldn't be bothered to tell me any changes in how you think."

Terra looked up exasperatedly. She couldn't stand one more minute with Slade.

"Fine! There are, okay? Happy?"

"Tell me more."

Terra grumbled, but continued.

"I'm getting these scenarios in my head... like visions of the future. It's unusual, but I think it's just me adjusting to my new home. Pretty big castle to get used to, you know."

"Any non-humans?"

Terra raised an eyebrow. "Yeah..."

Suddenly, they could hear a large door open.

"Tara? Are you going to the Marketplace again?"

Terra turned around and replied with a yes. "After I finish talking with Slade over here."

She turned back to where Slade was, but he was gone.

"Slade was here?" Mr. Markov said skeptically.

Terra was so confused. What happened?

"Never mind," she said uncertainly before leaving the Castle.

Slade was outside the Castle. He secretly watched Terra walked towards the Marketplace before pulling up minuscule calling device.

"Phobia? I give the green light to infiltrate her dream tonight."

Terra couldn't wait to meet Gerard. She would constantly look down at her gown. Do I look pretty? Are my shoes tied? Did I braid my hair properly? Is my dress not stained? Oh gosh, is there something on my teeth?

Before she could go to borrow a mirror from someone, she had already arrived at St. Pierre's Bakery. Not only that, she spotted Gerard and Gerard had noticed her.

"Terra! Hi!" he waved, and Terra flipped her hair backwards, trying to ignite some flair and maybe spark up some beauty. "Are you here for your frosted strawberry cheesecake, or will it be something different?"

Terra hummed out a pigeon laughter as she took a seat. "I want to try the mango pancake today. Sounds like a good breakfast."

Gerard joined in the soft laughter. "But believe me, it is more a dessert than it is a healthy morning meal. One serving of mango pancake coming right up."

Terra eagerly watched him doing his work. She liked how his short curly strands gave him that look of mature youth, and how his glistening blue ocean eyes made it really easy for her to see his sincerity.

She didn't know what to make of it; her current obsession with Gerard. She was like an older version of Beast Boy, and much manlier and, admittedly, sexier. When she was with Beast Boy, it was like being with a childhood friend that she'd talk cooties with. With Gerard, it was like a high-school crush.

The feelings were most definitely reciprocated. Gerard was as subtle as Terra. Her blonde hair was graceful, and she had that rock-star attitude that didn't make her so boring unlike most of the other girls that would flirt with him and fail.

"There you go," Gerard said, politely giving Terra the plate of pancake and then sitting beside her. Terra's heartbeat quickened. She let her hair fall on her right side because she didn't Gerard to see her blushing.

She was slicing her cake, but her pupils were at their right sides, trying to steal glances at Gerard through the gaps from her hair. Gerard was staring at her with a heartwarming grin that she found so cute.

"After you finish eating, I want to show you something, if that's okay with you," Gerard said. Terra flipped her hair the other side to get a better look of him.

"Why?"

"Just something I want to get across," he said.

How can I say no to this guy? she thought. "Sure!"

"Sweet!" Gerard exclaimed. "Excuse me for a second while I call my friends."

Wait, friends? Terra wondered, seeing him pull out his phone and whispering to his friends through it. Why does he needs his friends?

"Come over," he whispered, and they seemed to have it planned for days because that was the end of the call. Terra realized it was fast, so it was something they had orchestrated beforehand. She just wondered what it had to do with her. All the more reason to quickly empty her plate.

"Done," she declared after a few minutes. "Now, tell me."

Gerard's smile turned to a grin. Terra adored how he supported his head with his hand, and how his arm had been supported by the table.

"Right on time," he said. "Just sit back and watch."

And the moment he stood up, a guitar started playing nearby. Then, two men roughly Gerard's age crept up from behind the baking place and settled behind Gerard. One was playing the guitar while the other held a flute. It became clear what the plan was. Gerard was serenading her. Terra had always found Gerard's voice dreamy, hearing him sing would be paradise.

And with two more notes strung, Gerard's voice began his work.

"It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside,
I'm not one of those who can easily hide…
I don't have much money, but boy if I did,
I'd buy you a big house where we both could live…"

A part of Terra inside was mentally fangirling. Gerard had the most vulnerably powerful voice she had ever heard.

The flutist would play whenever there was pure instrumental, and during such vocal breaks Gerard would smoothly or coolly move from one place to another. For the first move, he went closer to Terta until he was opposite her with the table as their separation.

"If I was a sculptor - huh - but then again, no,
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
Oh, I know it's not much but it's the best I can do…
My gift is my song and this one's for you…"

Terra couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't hide her blush or forbid them from showing. Gerard noticed her reddening, and he couldn't help but let his eyes twinkle at how glad he was that the serenade was working.

"And you can tell everybody; this is your song,
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words…
How wonderful life is when you're in the world…"

"What is this about, Gerard?" Terra asked. Gerard offered his hand, and Terra took it. Next thing she knew, he was twirling her most spectacularly. As Gerard got ready for the next verse, he stopped spinning Terra and went for slow dancing.

"You're an excellent dancer," Terra commented.

"I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they, left me quite crossed…
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It's for people like you that keep it turned on…"

She was enjoying the moment so much. The music, the weather, the person dancing with her. Perfection. How could she ask for a more romantic endeavor?

Gerard's two friends were grinning proudly because Gerard's plan was succeeding. They knew he liked her. He had told them, and they were there for him. They knew Gerard deserved a woman so wonderful and beautiful, and Terra was probably that woman.

For the next verse of the song, Gerard connected his nose with hers, and made sure that their eyes were gazing at each other's. Terra felt butterflies fluttering in her belly. His skin was soft and moist, and they were just so close.

"So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do,
I've forgotten if they're green or their blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean,
Yours are the sweetest eyes…"

He then knelt down and completed the song, holding Terra's hand.

"So you can tell everybody; this is your song,
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words…
How wonderful life is when you're in the world…

"I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words…
How wonderful life is when you're in the world…"

The guitar and flute died down as Gerard quietened. He looked up at Terra, eyes gleaming. She still had her genuine smile on. Great, he thought optimistically. I can do this.

"Are you proposing to me?" Terra asked, feeling ridiculous at what position they were in but at the same time romantically cute.

"Not for engagement, no," Gerard replied as if he thought that were a ridiculous proposition. "But a few steps lower. Terra, will you do the honors of being my girlfriend?"

Gerard's friends were staring at them earnestly with wide hopeful eyes, waiting for the answer.

"That would be rocking," was Terra's reply.

The new couple burst in laughter when Gerard spun her again. This time, he lifted her up a few inches and spun her in circles. When he put them down, he leaned closer for a kiss, but a finger blocked him.

"Too early," Terra said, but with a teasing smile.

A thought struck Gerard. "But don't you have to have your parents' approval first?"

Terra's eyes widened a bit at the reminder. "Right… I guess I forgot about that."

Both of them laughed again, and Gerard's friends felt so extra that they tiptoed out of their sight. Of course, Gerard and Terra were so immersed into each other that they didn't realize their absence.

Terra had to ask her parents first."Surely that shouldn't be a problem."

"I guess," Gerard said. "This is true love, yes?"

Terra giggled. "How incredibly cheesy of you. But to be safe, maybe we should just settle for… what do you call a relationship between best friends and lovers?"

Gerard tried to look for the term. There didn't seem to be one. "Uh… tentative lovers?"

Terra initially gave him a quizzical look, but she couldn't think of a better term, so agreed with it.

"I should go, it's starting noon. My parents will want to have me for lunch."

"Okay, Terra!" Gerard exclaimed. He almost kissed her, but stopped himself before he could, avoiding receiving 'nah-uh' looks from Terra.

As Terra walked away from the bakery, she could tell that Gerard was staring at her all the way until she got out of the Marketplace.

"What a fairy tale morning," she whispered to herself giddily.

How do you know if the other Titans are going to meet us before we reach Markovia?

That was what Jericho wrote on a piece of paper to Red X.

"They will," Red X promised.

"And how far will we have to go until we reach Markovia?" Raven asked.

"A couple of hours."

Raven spoke no more, her energy focused on her mind and on making sure they stayed in the air. She anticipated to see Beast Boy again, and never stopped wondering what he would be doing. She was sure he had talked to Terra, but how much talking they did was in Raven's thoughts.

Jericho didn't have to speak, so he spent an immense amount of time thinking through the events that had just happened and what he had been told. His father was in Markovia right now, where they both lived together as father and son years ago. But it was disturbing finding out that he was the arch nemesis of the Teen Titans.

If I were to finally meet my dad again, what should I do?I

Raven was also skeptical about the whole familial awkwardness, both between Maximus and his Markov family and Jericho and Slade. They were much in a similar situation that she was in with Trigon, accept Trigon never really cared for her as a daughter. They never had that bond other than the biological aspect of things. But Maximus and Jericho had those bonds that they cherished until fate took them in and divided them for several years. Emotionally, she couldn't argue that they had it tougher.

"They have arrived," Red X noted, pointing at the approaching T-Ship. Raven immediately saw Robin, Starfire, Cyborg and Brian through their windows.

"My friends and allies!" Starfire exclaimed. "It is splendid to reunite, I have missed you dearly, Raven!"

"It's also nice to see you again, Jericho," Robin said, and Jericho nodded back.

"Yeah, man!" Cyborg was pumped. "Hop on in and we can ride this baby to Markovia and get Beast Butt back!"

Raven, Red X and Jericho wasted no time getting in the T-Ship. Red X bunked in with Brian, who was taking over Beast Boy's part of the ship. Raven was back in hers, bringing Jericho along.

"Any news while I've been away?" Raven asked the team through the microphone radio. It felt like home.

"Robin and I are doing the dating now!" Starfire replied excitedly, triggering snickers from Cyborg and blushes from Robin.

"I wasn't expecting an answer, but I can't say I'm not happy," Raven said as she pulled her seat belt. "Beast Boy, Cyborg and I have waited for this moment."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Robin ask threateningly as Cyborg burst into laughter.

"What about you, Raven?" Starfire asked giddily. She didn't mean to say it in such a way Raven felt. Raven quickly glanced at Red X, who was trying his best not to reciprocate it.

"Nothing, of course," Raven answered dully. "I just couldn't wait to get out of that chilly mountain."

"Guys, we ought to get going," Red X reminded them, breaking their reunion party.

"And going we shall!" Starfire exclaimed.

"You know you wanna say it, Robin!" Cyborg wiggled his eyebrows, and Robin knew he was right. "It's a whole different pool of people, but we're all playing the same team! Holler that phrase we all love!"

"Titans, GO!"
