Yukihane: Thank-you for thinking so! I try my best to be different! And, that's the reason I put that there, to clear up anything! The link………*turns to the first chapter* WHAT!? Twice! Twice I tried to fix that! Why won't you work!? T-T Oh well, yes, it goes to my deviant art page where I'm posting scenes from the fanfiction on. I'll repost the link alittle farther down.

PinkPanther123: I'm glad you liked it! I hope it keeps getting better and better for you!

Somewhere In Time: Puppet….King…..*flips through list of possible bad guys to use for story* AH!! How'd I miss him!? He would have been perfect! But, no, it's not him. Good guess, though.

Thank-you all for reviewing!

Okay, so here's a link to the album containing all the works I have made for this fanfiction. Only thing I must warn you about is that I kinda got over enthusiastic about the final chapters…..so there are a few works that hint at the ending. So, view at your own dare! Oh, and most of the works for the earlier chapters didn't transfer from school to home, so, those aren't loaded. And they won't be till Tuesday night. So, that's just a heads up. Here's the link, just take out the spaces!

Chapter 4: Memories

Eva looked around at the plain white walls that surrounded her from her spot on a metal chair, at a table that looked more like it belonged in a high school cafeteria rather than the employee's break room in the back of The Pizza Place. The concrete floors in combination with the small metal lockers that lined the wall and the solitude that surrounded her made the room all the more uninviting.

Eva sighed as she fixed her uniform. It was a simple button down white, short sleeved shirt with a short pink skirt that only reached just above her knees. A small apron, which held the uniform's pockets, went over the skirt. She hated the outfit, it was too…..cheery? Or maybe it just made her feel exposed. She couldn't figure it out; all she knew was that she disliked the outfit.

But she pushed that thought to the back of her mind. Right now she was waiting for her boss, Agapito Guerino. He had said that he would be with her in a moment and to just wait in the break room, which he had to point out. As she headed to the door, Eva grabbed a menu which she now decided to look over while she waited. She had to know the menu before she could work again.

And as her gaze moved over the sheets, Eva's lips curved down into a frown. 'That's odd.' She thought as Mr. Guerino walked in. Mr. Guerino was a large Italian man who reminded Eva of a mix between a lumber jack and Mario. He had dark black hair and the fair skin, along with a Mario mustache.

"Sorry about that, Eve. Ah! I see you're getting a head start." He commented with a friendly smile as he noticed the menu in her hands. "So, you remember anything?"

"I…I know this whole menu." She responded, finding it odd that she could remember the menu to a pizza place, but not her own name.

"Hmmmm…interesting. Guess that should be a new sign that you've been working here too long; when you get amnesia and still can remember the menu." He laughed a big hearty laugh.

Eva couldn't help but chuckle a bit. This man was hard to be around without feeling cheerful. His joy seemed contagious.

His laugher eventually died down, though. "Alright, since you already seem to know the menu, I guess it would be alright to just let you go ahead out there. I'll have one of the other waitresses watch you." He said, leading her out into the kitchen which linked the break room and the seating area together.

As she walked behind him, they walked past a huge freezer door. The area around it was chilly and made Eva shiver a bit. But that was nothing compared to what she felt when one of the chiefs walked passed her and opened the door. As the bitter cold wrapped around her, it caused goose bumps all up and down her skin. The cold felt like knives gliding over her skin.

Then her head felt like it was splitting in two.

She was looking up at the darkening sky as the wind whipped past her, causing a blue cloth to envelope her. 'It's a full moon today,' was the only thought that passed through her mind as she fell. Then the cloth that had been wrapped around her suddenly broke free and the wind pulled it away. The world around her turned black as she felt pain in her head and shoulders along with a splash. But the stinging sensation was quickly replaced by the bitter cold liquid that surrounded her; freezing her to her bones within seconds. The pain…the pain that followed was unbearable. Her entire body felt like a thousand needles were being jammed into her skin.

She cried out in pain as she suddenly found herself on her knees in the middle of the kitchen of the Pizza Place.

Bumblebee found herself in between Beastboy and Starfire in the back of the T-car. Robin sat in the front passenger's seat while Cyborg drove. The whole car lacked the life it usually had. Bumblebee only hoped that this trip would help start to bring back the spark they once had. She sighed as she sat in the silence that the rolling waves of depression that came off of each titan caused.

Soon, though, they made it to the Pizza Place after what seemed like eternity to Bee. But she brightened up when they left the T-car for the outdoor restaurant. They sat down at the colorful tables and Bumblebee waited for the arguments to start…..it never did. She looked between Cyborg and Beastboy who was looked down silently at menus.

"So…meat-lover's pizza or the vegetarian pizza?" She asked, trying to get something out of the titans.

"I'm not really that hungry…we can just get the meat-lover's…I'll just have some pop." Beastboy responded, detached.

The response that would have come next was cut off as the teens looked up at the speaker who spoke.

"What, no fighting today? And I was looking forward to that after such a long time."

Mr. Guerino was at Eva's side before her mind caught up with her surroundings. "Eva, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

She blinked, silent for a moment, her headache now only a faint echo. "Ummmm….yeah….I'm fine. I just was hit with a memory, that's all." She said, evenly, still trying to piece together the unclear memory.

"Really? What about?" He asked, excited for her as he waved the chiefs away, telling them without words that they needed to get back to work.

"Ummmmmm…of this place. Just a few, you know, vague memories of me working here." She responded quickly. She didn't know why she lied, but she didn't want him to know about the memory. "I'm fine, really, and I want to get back to work."

He studied her for a bit but then smiled and helped her up. "Okay, if you're sure." Eva nodded and Mr. Guerino finished leading the rest of the way to the outside eating area.

Once outside, her boss pulled aside one of the other waitresses, this one with short, chin length, fiery red hair, and asked her to just keep an eye out for Eva. The other girl nodded and smiled at Eva. "You might not remember me, but I'm Keila." She said, holding out her hand to Eva. Eva took it with a small smile. Then, suddenly Mr. Guerino put a hand on Eva's shoulder.

"Oh! Look, it's the Teen Titans. They're usually regulars here, but they haven't shown up for awhile. But they would be a good start for you. So, go get them, Eva."

She nodded and took out her notebook and pen before she headed over there. And, as she headed over, she felt her heart start racing, and she didn't know why. They were just sitting there looking at the menu…silently…saying nothing…really not doing anything either…why did she feel like something was wrong?

She walked up and stood behind the green one with the pointy ears just as he said; "I'm not really that hungry…we can just get the meat-lover's…I'll just have some pop."

"What, no fighting today? And I was looking forward to that after such a long time." Eva said, with a smile, inwardly frowning. How did she know they usually fought? She knew they were gone for awhile because that's what her boss had said, but… That would make for a second phrase that just showed up.

She came back after a moment and noticed the Titans all looking up at her, causing her to suddenly feel really out of place. "What….nothing? Come on, meat or vegetarian?" She said, trying to get them all to loosen up. They were tense and she felt like she was a villain they had to stop.

Beastboy stared up at the waitress. They knew here, they were here all the time, they knew pretty much everyone by name. But, this time felt different for Beastboy, something stirred inside him and he suddenly wanted to hug the girl. He felt himself blush slightly at this unfamiliar sense of sudden joy. I mean, he knew joy. And he felt joy every time he saw his friends, but this was different.

"Vegetarian." The word just spilled out to answer the girl's question before he even thought about it. This sparked Cyborg's retaliation.

"Dude, I thought you said you weren't hungry! You can't change your mind after you already agreed to the all meat experience!" This brought Beastboy's attention back to the half metal man.

"I changed my mind, I am hungry!"

"Then you're just gonna have to enjoy the meaty goodness just like the rest of us." Cyborg responded, in his low, 'I-dare-you-to-argue' voice.

"Dude! I'm a vegetarian!" Beastboy yelled, his voice cracking slightly.

Eva couldn't help but giggle quietly as she watched the exchange. The rest of the team was grinning also. Robin, who was sitting next to Beastboy, lean back slightly so he could get Eva's attention without drawing the attention of Beastboy or Cyborg, "We'll just have the usual."

The girl nodded. "Half meat, quarter cheese, quarter veggie and bring the large mustard?" She asked, and Robin noticed that her lips twitched downwards for a moment before resuming a smile. He was curious as to why she almost frowned.

"You got it." Bumblebee responded when Robin hesitated. Eva nodded and left, heading to the kitchen. Beastboy stopped the argument with Cyborg to watch her walk off, not realizing that he was staring.

"Ooohhhh…looks like BB has a crush." Cyborg grinned, taunting his green buddy.

Before he could respond, Bee cut him off. "I think it's sweet, BB. You know you should invite her to hang out with you guys." She suggest, hoping that maybe this would help him move on.

"Oh, yes, I would be most happy to get to know more about the one that makes friend Beastboy want to court." Starfire chirped cheerfully.

Now Beastboy was turning redder. "Go ahead, Beastboy. Invite her over." Robin said, catching on to what Bumblebee was trying to do. He wanted to help his team cheer up, and he hoped that this wouldn't come back to bite them.

It took a lot of prodding, but, finally Beastboy agreed. So, when he noticed Eva come back out of the kitchen, he rushed over.

"Hey….ummm…..I…..um…..I was kinda…..well…kinda wondering i-if you w-would come to the Tower…..and….um….hang out with us." He asked, nervously.

Eva blinked, not sure how to respond, but she blushed. "Well…..ummm……I work late tonight…..so….how about…..tommorrow afternoon?" She asked, a small smile, tugged at her lips.

Her response caused Beastboy to brighten up. "Sure! Do you need directions? What time? What would you like to do? Do you need a ride? This is gonna be awesome!" He squeaked out quickly.

Eva giggled. "I don't think I need directions. The giant T in the middle of the ocean isn't that hard to find. Ummm……how about 2? I'm up for whatever. And, no, I don't need a ride."

"Sweet! See you at 2 then!" Beastboy cheered before heading back to the table. He was so excited, he didn't even notice the pizza on a table nearby blow up.

A figure was perched atop a nearby building. He had been watching the titans when he noticed the girl Beastboy had talk to. Seeing her, he frowned. "How did you survive?" He muttered under his breath as he zoomed in on the girl with his binoculars. Then, unlike the euphoric caused oblivion that was Beastboy, the figure noticed the pizza get launched into a cheesy mess, and it caused him to grin. He then answered his own question with a purr. "Aahhh…I see now. So that's how…"

A/N: AH! HOW COULD I FORGET THE LAST PARAGRAPH!? It's an important one! Gah! I'm so stupid! Forgive me people! Thank-you, Somewhere In Time! If not had been for your comment about the lake vs. ocean thing, I would have never noticed this mistake!
