Chapter 2

The next day came around and luckily for Terra, it was Saturday. Freetime and relaxation. Terra woke up around ten and sat on her bed, looking out the window. She hugged her knees close to her. After seeing Beast Boy for the first time in a while, it started to bring back memoires and the feelings she buried deep down. She ran a hand through her hair as there was a knock on the door.

"I'm up." Terra said.

The door opened and Rebeka came in. She had a golden shade of blonde pulled back into a ponytail. Oddly enough, her blue eyes were the same shade as Terra's. It was thanks to her that Terra was able to pass as their daughter if it was needed. She came in, still in her pajamas. She walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Paul told me what happen yesterday." She said. Terra sighed.

"I've been thinking about him since." Terra said.

"I figure you would. What are you going to do about it?" Rebeka asked.

Terra sighed again. "I don't know. I'm going to try to avoid him."

"Terra, know this. If needed we can move so you can finish school without being distracted or worrying about him. Then you have college." She said.

"I know but I want to finish here." Terra said.

"Alright. We have breakfast waiting for you." Rebeka said getting up.

Okay. I'll be out in a minute." Terra said. Rebeka nodded as she left, closing the door behind her.

Terra looked at her end table and picked up the heart-shape box Beast Boy made her years ago. After Beast Boy took her to the tower, she went back and got it through her window. She placed it on her lap. After a couple of seconds, she opened it and pulled out a picture of her and Beast Boy. It was one from the fair where she tried to keep him safe from Slade attacking the tower. Quickly, she put the picture up and closed it.

Terra left the room and headed towards the kitchen. On the table was a plate of bacon, waffles with butter melted onto it and hashbrowns. And there was a mug of coffee right beside it. Over the years, she knew many things about herself changed. And it was thanks to Paul and Rebeka. Like the fact she liked to have coffee when she ate breakfast now and she was more comfortable with wearing skirts. Terra sat down and started to eat as Paul came in.

"Morning Terra. What are your plans for the day?" He asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Um, I don't know. I finish my school work yesterday. I might go to the mall and looked a shirts and cds." She said.

"Okay. You want some money?"

"Sure. I don't have any." She said.

"Okay. I'll leave you thirty. And do you need gas money?" Paul said.

"I don't know. I walk everywhere." Terra said.

"You walk everywhere even though you have a driver's licenses and a car." Paul said.

"She traveled a lot on foot. Remember?" Rebeka said coming in, dressed for work at the salon. She had her hair in a bun and wore a black apron over top a pink shirt and blue jeans.

"What she said. Would you prefer me to drive to the mall?" Terra asked.

"Actually yes. We want to help you live a normal life and we both know avoiding Beast Boy is the best bet for you. The car would work the best for that. Alright?" Paul said.

"Fine. Are the keys on the key rack?" Terra asked as she finished eating.

"Yes. I'll go check the gas on your car and give you some more if needed." Paul said.

"Alright." Terra said.

She got up and took her plate to the dishwasher. After she put up her plate, she finished off her coffee and it the mug up. Then she went back into the bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush. She showered last night after she mowed the lawn and stayed in her room for the night so she really didn't need to shower. She looked at herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth. For a second, she wondered why Beast Boy liked her. She spit out the tooth paste and drank some water to get the rest out. Terra put her toothbrush up and looked at herself in the mirror. She played with her hair a bit. What if she cut it shorter so Beast Boy…She shook her head. No. There was a chance she wouldn't see him again.

Terra headed to her room and grabbed some jeans and a tank top. She took off her pjs and put on fresh under garments and put on the clothes she pulled out earlier. Then she walked to her clothes and pulled out a green and purple plaid button up shirt and put it on. Terra put on some socks and put her old boots on. There were so many things she wore from her past even though the past was hard for her. After she grabbed her wallet and cellphone, she headed to the front door. As she left, she grabbed her keys and walked to the garage. Paul got out of her car which was an average regular old car. Terra thought it looked like an old Geo Metro and it was an unpleasant shade of brown.

"You have a full tank due to your lack of driving." He said.

"Alright." Terra said. Paul pulled out his wallet and handed Terra some money.

"Here. I'll see you when you get back." Paul said as she took the money and put it in her wallet.

"Alright." She said as she got into the car.

She watched Paul leave as she started the car and drove off. During the whole drive, all she could think about was Beast Boy. Two days ago, he found her and she got pizza with him and now he though she was Atlee Marks and wished she never said that. Terra sound came to the mall and parked the car. As she got out of the car, she was the T-Car parked on the other side of the parking lot. Who was here? Terra put her keys in her pocket and walked into the mall. Terra walked in as she put her hands in her pockets. Now it was running in her mind that Beast Boy could be here. But it would be easy to spot him. He was Green. If it was Cyborg, he was part robot. Starfire would be ooing and awing over everything with Robin with her. And Raven would stand there with her cloak on.

Terra headed towards the music store and stopped in her tracks. It was Beast Boy with Cyborg. Were the others here as well. Terra looked around and ducked into the store she stood infront of. She turned around and saw Raven looking at some books. Crap. Even worst. Terra gulped and looked out of the store. Beast Boy and Cyborg were still out there. Now it came to a choice. Deal with the man she felt for or the one who knew she couldn't be trusted from the start. Terra walked over to a section of books and stood there. If she could stay away from Raven, she would be fine.

She probably stayed there in the store for a good ten minutes. Terra looked over to where Raven was and saw she still looking at some book. Carefully, she walked out of the store, keeping her eye on Raven and ran into someone. She looked at saw it was Beast Boy. God did she want thing to stop now. He looked at her.

"Terra!" He said.

"Will you stop calling me that?" She asked.

"But…" Beast Boy said as Terra moved away from him. No. Not now.

"Leave me alone." Terra said as she fought the tears back. She saw Raven come out of the store and just looked at her.

"No…How?" She said.

"Are you doing the same he wants? Thinking I'm this girl named Terra?" She said. Then she felt Raven get in her mind.

'Why are you lying to him?' It was Raven.

'Please. I want a normal life and I have to lie. Please don't tell him.' Terra begged. There was silence

"See Raven I told you!" Beasy Boy said pointing at her.

"Beast Boy, It's not Terra. If it was, would she be in the city?" Raven said telling Terra she wouldn't tell Beast Boy. Terra fought the smile.

"Of course she would be here! We're here friends." Beast Boy said.

"No. She's still a criminal. We would throw her in jail." Raven said before she left. Beast Boy sighed and looked at Terra once last time before he left.

Terra crossed her arms and gripped them. "Thank you Raven." She muttered to herself. Terra started to walk. Now Raven knew. Easily, she could be blacked mail by her. AS she walked she had to think. What could she do? Terra pulled out her cellphone and called Rebeka. It was a couple of seconds before she answered.

"Terra, what's wrong?" She was in private space.

"Are you at work?" Terra asked. Her thought she had earlier, she might go through with it.

"Yeah why?" She asked.

"I need to talk to you."

"Alright. Head over. We can talk in the back room. Alright?" Rebeka said.

"Thank you." Terra said before she hung up. Terra turned around to leave and Raven stood there before her.

"Why are you still here Terra?" She asked. Terra didn't see any of the other Titans with her.

"I'm in school finishing my senior year. Please Raven, don't tell him."

"You're a criminal still. Remember what happen years ago? You might have saved us but you destroyed a good amount of the town."

"I know. I'm putting that all behind me. Please. Don't tell anyone I beg of you. My life has been so much better since I left the Titans and Slade's control." Terra said.

"Give me one good reason not to tell Beast Boy." Raven asked.

"It will break his heart and I won't be able to live the life I want. Please. This is all I ask of you." Terra said. Raven stay quite for a bit.

"Fine. I know where you live. I will check on you. And will you ever tell Beast Boy?" Raven asked.

"Maybe after I finish college or High School. I still have five months left." Terra said.

"I see. Can I ask you one more thing?" Raven asked.

"What is it?" Terra asked.

"Your powers. I sensed you still have them. Are they in check?" Raven asked. Terra nodded.

"Yes. I practice with three rocks each day when I do my school work." Terra said.

"Good." Raven turned around and left.

Terra let out a sigh. Raven was going to keep this quite. Terra walked out of the mall and to her car. She was probably still going to do what she thought of doing. Terra got into her car and started it. She drove off and to the salon Rebeka worked. She parked the car and got out. When she walked inside, she saw Rebeka standing in the back of the shop. She walked over to her and went into the room. As Terra sat down, Rebeka came in and closed the door. She sat down in the chair across from Terra.

"What's wrong?"

"I saw him again at the mall and Raven knew it was me." Terra said.

"Really?" She asked. Terra nodded.

"But Raven will keep quite about it. She won't tell Beast Boy. Plus she's going to come to the house and check on me." Terra said as she griped her pants.

"Terra think of it this way, Raven is saying she's still your friend. Maybe it's a good thing for someone else to know." Rebeka said.

"Probably…Rebeka, I have something to ask of you." Terra looked up at her.

"What is it?"

"I want…no. I need you to cut my hair short. I can't take anymore chances of Beast Boy recognizing me. And dye it too." Terra said. Rebeka looked at her.

"What?"

"Cut my hair and dye it…black." She said.

"Terra, are you sure?" Rebeka said.

"Yes I am. Please." Terra said. Rebeka looked at Terra for a while. Then she sighed.

"Fine. I don't have anyone else for a couple of hours. Just know what you're doing." Rebeka said.

"I do. It's so Beast Boy won't know who I am." Terra said.

"Okay. Head to my station. I'll get some dye ready for you."She said. Terra got up and gave her a hug.

"Thank you so much." She said. Rebeka return the hug.

"Your welcome." She said.

Terra opened the door and headed towards Rebeka's station. She sat down in the chair and looked at herself in the mirror. She brought her hair to the front and smiled a bit. She knew after today Beast Boy wouldn't be able to tell it's her. But to a degree, she would miss that. She saw Rebeka in the mirror with the dye ready.

"You ready?" She asked.

"Yes." Terra said. Rebeka sat the dye down and grabbed the cape. She placed it around Terra's neck and pulled the hair out.

"Goodbye blonde hair." Terra said.
