A/N: Ok so here is chapter 3. Before though I would like to thank my faithful reviewer, ForeverChocolateRoses. You are the one who keeps me writing and for that, I thank you. OK ok ok, now for our feature presentation. CHAPTER THREE.

Lightning Lad whirled around to see the three Triplicate Girls become one and walk over to him.

"Hey. We were getting worried. Rokk came back couple hour's ago." she said with a concerned look in her eyes.

"Really?" Lightning lad said surprised. "What time is it?"

"2 o'clock in the morning." she answered his question. 'Wow' Lightning Lad thought to himself. 'I have been gone a long time'

"Sorry that I worried you guys." he apologized. She gave him a sympathetic look.

"Lightning Lad, Cos told us about what happened. She'll be fine Garth. Don't be so hard on yourself." Lightning lad just turned away from triplicate girl.

"And what if she's not? Huh? You saw Destro's laser blast hit her." he said raising his voice a little. He could feel his anger bubbling up inside. He could also feel the tears rising up at the memory. But he pushed them down.

"Yes I saw the blast. I but I didn't see it coming or could have prevented it. None of us could." Triplicate Girl retorted. "No one blames you Garth because it wasn't you fault. So stop blaming yourself." she was getting frustrated by his butt-headedness (A\N: yes it's a word. I think.)

Lightning Lad clenched his fists and took a deep breath before turning back around to face Triplicate Girl.

"But it is my fault! I was the one who let her come on the mission despite my discomfort, and it was me who called her over to help us. Air go, IT IS MY FAULT!" He said a little louder trying not to wake any one. He turned around to walk to his room before he did anything he would regret. Triplicate Girl winced a little at his words but tried to give it one last shot.

"You know Lightning Lad! All of this moping and self pity isn't going to help Saturn Girl, so you might as well drop it and do something productive!" she called after him while getting ready to defend herself if needed. Lightning Lad stopped and turned his head slightly before continuing to his room.

When he entered his room, he slammed the door softly so he wouldn't wake anyone up. He sat of his bed and ran his fingers through his ginger hair. Triplicate Girl's words echoed in his ears. While they stung, he knew she was right. All of his moping around wasn't going to help Saturn Girl. He would make sure that he would apologize to the trips tomorrow. He yawned and got ready for bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, sleep washed over him and he slept dreamlessly for the rest of the night.

Back in the control room, Triplicate Girl sigh in frustration and defeat. If Lightning Lad wanted to mope around then why should she care? She walked back to her chair a sat back down with a huff. She knew the Garth was worried about Saturn Girl, but so was everyone else! She remembered the of guilt that Sun Boy had for letting her go instead but he was convinced that he couldn't of known. Dream Girl also felt bad that she didn't predict it but she had a feeling that Saturn Girl would be okay. All the legionaries had taken the news of Saturn Girl hard, but not as hard as Lightning Lad. And she had a feeling why. She had seen the way he looked at her when he thought that no one was looking. He totally had a crush on her. Triplicate Girl and Phantom Girl both knew but kept it a secret out of respect.

"What's the matter with Sparky?" said a voice that almost made Triplicate Girl pee herself. She spun around in her chair to see Bouncy Boy in the door way.

"Crap Bouncy! You scared me half to death. Don't do that!" she said trying to bring her heart rate back to normal.

"Sorry." He apologized. Triplicate Girl felt guilty for snapping at him.

"It's all right. What are you doing up anyways? Your shift isn't until 2:30 Am." she asked while checking her watch wondering what time it was. Her Legion watch showed 2:15 am. Ok so he wasn't that early but still.

"I woke up to get a glass of water and when I was on my way back, I heard you two arguing so I went to see what was up. But I came just in time to see Lightning Lad turn the corner. So, how is he taking the news?" Bouncing Boy asked pulling up a chair.

"Not as well as we hoped." Triplicate Girl told him. "He blames himself for the whole accident." she looked away. "He's really torn up about it. I tried telling him that it wasn't his fault but he doesn't, seem to believe Me." she felt Bouncing Boys hand on her shoulder. She turned to see him smiling at her and she couldn't help but return a shaky one.

"Don't worry Trip, he'll come around. He just needs some space to think things out." Bouncing Boy said in a comforting voice and hoping that Triplicate Girl couldn't see that he was just as worried not just about Lightning Lad but also Saturn Girl. Triplicate Girl to a deep breath and tried to centre herself.

"Thanks Bouncy. I hope your right." she said stifling a yawn. Man was she tired. 'I hope so too.' Bouncing Boy thought to himself. When he saw how tired she was, he spoke again.

"Hey, why don't you go to bed. It's almost my shift anyways plus I'm wade awake." Triplicate Girl knew it was only 2:20am but she wasn't going to give up an extra 10 minutes of sleep. She got up out of her chair and turned to him.

"Thanks Bouncy, I owe you one." she said giving him a small smile.

"Anytime Trip." he replied trying to hide his blush. "Goodnight!" he called softly as he watched her leave the room. When she got to the doorway, she stopped and turned to face him.

"Goodnight Bouncy." she replied and then left to go to her room.

A/N: Awwww. Wasn't that a cute chapter? I couldn't resist a little BB/TG. And so sorry for not updating. I had around 7 tests this week and three of those tests were on the SAME DAY!
