Once Terra was in the safety of her home, she got out her English homework and began her project one Romeo and Juliet. She chose to do a diorama of the party when Romeo first sees Juliet. She chose this because it was romantic and reminded her of the way Beast Boy acted when he first met Terra. She thought it was adorable how he kept tripping over every word he said.
Terra giggled then opened her text book to the page of the party. She re-read the scene, closed her textbook and ran up stairs to her room. Once in her room, she walked over to the window and smiled. She sat down and sighed.
"Hey Beast Boy," Terra said to the view of Titan's Tower. "It's me, Terra."
Terra liked to pretend to talk to her old friends when her days were tough, it gave her comfort.
"You won't believe the day I've had." Terra said looking down at her mary-jane covered feet. "I met some siblings today and had to show them around because I got detention."
Terra paused and looked back at Titan's Tower and saw something flying around it. Terra laughed knowing that it was either Starfire feeling carefree, Raven looking for something, or Beast Boy trying to prove something to someone.
"One of them actually reminded me a little bit of Raven and her attitude. And the other one was just…strange." Terra said thinking back to the siblings.
"I also found out that I'm moving in about a month." Terra said to no one. "I'm really sad about it because, I won't be able to even see news about you and the other Titans anymore."
With those words that escaped from her mind and on to her lips, she began to cry. She realized the truth of her words; she really wouldn't be able to hear anything about the Teen Titans anymore. At most she might read something in the papers about them defeating a villain, but that would be it.
"But no." Terra said putting on a brave face because she knew how much Beast Boy hated seeing her cry. "I'm the one who left you guys, not the other way around." She said standing and clenching her fists. "I have to move on from the past, because things change!" Terra ranted now pacing in front of the window.
She stopped. Terra remembered back to when Beast Boy had found her, because he cared.
When he first shouted her name, a cold chill ran through her spine at the sound of his voice. And when she turned to see his face staring at her through the school gates, she could feel every drop of blood rushing up to her face to fill it with warmth and redness.
Then she agreed to get pizza with him, and ended up back inside Titan's Tower. She looked around pretending to be dumb struck and thinking of reasons that she had to leave. Then the worst thing happened. Beast Boy took her to her old room.
She walked into the room and inhaled the familiar sent of dirt that lingered on her uniform after missions, she looked at her old bed and felt like jumping on top of it, curl up in its familiar thick sheets and fall asleep, but instead she walked over to the table and found the heart shaped box that Beast Boy had made for her. She picked it up, opened it, and saw a girl that she didn't recognize. It was her own reflection. She tried hard to keep a straight face and hold back her tears; she told Beast Boy that she had to leave. They walked back outside and looked out at the water. Terra said that she wasn't the girl he was looking for, but he wouldn't give up, he was just too stubborn. Thinking on his feat he picked up some mud and threw it at Terra hoping she would bend it. Terra had almost cracked and moved it out her way, but she knew then he would realize it was Terra. So the only thing she could do was let it hit her in the face. And when it did she left.
Terra almost laughed at the memory, she would've if she were still in the Teen Titans.
She wiped her eyes of tears that refused not to fall, and smiled.
"Oh Beast Boy, if only I had not played dumb when you first found me. Then I might be on the Teen Titans again."
Terra smiled at the thought. She would be fighting crime again. She would be hanging out with Beast Boy again. She would be friends with Raven again. She would be part of her old family again.
She walked over to her door and turned back to the window. "Bye Beast Boy, I'll talk to you again soon."
With that she quickly grabbed her wallet which had fifty dollars in it, put on a jacket, and walked out of the house to the local crafts store to buy materials for her diorama.
Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire left Titans Tower and began their search for Beast Boy and Raven, and possibly even Terra if Beast Boy had been successful in finding her.
The first place they went to was the canyon, but found no one. They then proceeded to BEN'S. Cyborg did a scan for their DNA in a five mile radius, and came up with nothing.
"Come on," Robin said. "We have one more place to look."
Cyborg and Starfire followed their leader to an amusement park, but no one was there.
"Friends, I'm sad to report that there is no one here but us." Starfire said looking down. "Perhaps we should go now to the city and look there."
"That's a great idea Starfire." Robin said smiling, giving her a little hope. "We will find them. I swear."
"I do hope you are right." Starfire said with a small smile.
They left the amusement park and went into the city to search and ask the citizens if they've seen the missing Titans.
"I will ask people on the street." Starfire said.
"Alright. Cyborg, you scan for DNA and walk with Starfire, I'll patrol the streets and alleyways." Robin said hoping on his motorcycle and zooming off.
"Well let's start asking people." Cyborg said punch in digits into his arm and began his scan.
Starfire flew over onto the sidewalk and began asking the citizens.
"Please, we are most desperate to find our missing friends. If you have seen Raven or Beast Boy can you please tell us?" Starfire said to a young couple.
"Sorry lady." The boy said. "We haven't seen your friends."
Starfire looked rather disappointed, and tried sixteen more people to only get the same answer.
"Come on Star, let's call Robin and head back to the tower." Cyborg said resting a hand on Starfire's shoulder.
"May I please just try once more?" Starfire said desperately.
Cyborg sighed and looked at her with a reassuring smile. "Alright, but only one more time."
Starfire smiled and looked around on who to ask. Then she saw two teenagers crossing the street at a traffic light.
"I shall ask them!" Starfire said flying after them.
Cyborg looked up to see who she was flying towards, and his blood ran cold. She stopped in front of two teenagers with light brown hair and emerald green eyes.
Cyborg ran quickly to catch up with her, and once he did she was attacking the two with questions.
"Please have you seen Beast Boy or Raven of the Teen Titans?" Starfire asked.
The two just looked at each other with wide eyes. "Umm, sorry lady we haven't." The girl said.
"And if you'll excuse us," the boy said grabbing on to his sisters hand, "we really have to get back for dinner."
Starfire's sadness showed on her face. "Alright, I will not keep you any longer. Come Cyborg, let us go seek Robin and tell him that we had no luck." She said flying away.
"I'm right behind you!" Cyborg shouted. Then he turned his attention back to the siblings who were running off as quickly as they could.
Cyborg began running after Starfire, looking away from the siblings who were now out of site.
Oh man! Cyborg thought. That was so close! Good thing they handled it well or they would've blown their cover!
Shaking his head of what might have happened if Starfire had discovered them; he met up with Robin and Starfire, and went back to the Tower to hear the plans of what they were going to do next to find their friends.
Beast Boy and Raven ran until they were in the safety of Raven's room. They were gasping for air, and their legs felt like mush, but they had fooled Starfire, and that was all that mattered. They opened the door to find Amanda standing by the window humming a song.
"Hey Amanda." Beast Boy and Raven said at the same time still gasping for air. Amanda turned and smiled at them, then went back to humming at looking down at a spiral notebook she had in her hands.
Beast Boy walked over to Raven's bed and plopped down. Raven on the other hand walked over towards Amanda.
"What's that?" Raven said pointing to the spiral. She looked at the paper to see two girls. One was wearing a red dress and yellow rain boots, the other was wearing a 'dare to be different' yellow t-shirt.
"Is that us?" Raven said Ah struck. Amanda had an amazing talent of drawing.
Amanda just nodded her head still humming and now was sketching their hair and eyes.
Beast Boy walked over to see what all the commotion was about and found himself also Ah struck like Raven. He watched as Amanda drew in the lips and noses of the two girls on the page. He looked up when he noticed that her hand had stopped moving, and saw that Amanda was looking at him, but still humming. She was about to say something, but was interrupted when they all heard Miss Jackie call everyone down for dinner.
Amanda simply got up, put her spiral and pencil away and walked toward the door. She turned back when she realized that no one was following her.
"Come on guys we better go before all the good food is gone." Amanda said walking out of the door.
Raven and Beast Boy followed her down the stairs and into the dining hall to find everyone smiling while they waited to get there food.
They looked around and found Miss Jackie walking over towards the line. Raven pulled her over. "What's going on? Why does everyone look so happy?"
Miss Jackie giggled. "Oh dear, everyone's so happy because today is meat Monday!"
Beast Boy stomach sank and Amanda got a strange look on her face like she was going to be sick. Beast Boy had a strong feeling that it was similar to his.
They looked at each other knowing that they were thinking the exact same thing.
"Umm, Miss Jackie?" Beast Boy began.
"Yes sweet heart?" Miss Jackie said smiling.
"Amanda and I don't eat meat. We're vegetarians…" Beast Boy said pulling Amanda next to him. "Is there anything they're serving that we can eat?"
Miss Jackie's face fell. "They are serving French fries and broccoli as sides, but I'm afraid that's it. If you want me to, I can run to the super market and find something for you two to eat."
Beast Boy smiled at the woman's kind heart. "I'm fine, I can eat broccoli."
Amanda smiled as well. "And I can eat french fries and broccoli, so I'll be fine."
"Alright, but next time I'll be sure to set aside two meals that fit your vegetarian diets." Miss Jackie said quickly and walked into the kitchen.
"She is so kind." Amanda said smiling and looking back at Beast Boy and Raven.
"Yeah she really is." Raven said.
They talked about Amanda's drawing until they reached the front of the line and received their trays of food. Raven's tray contained three chicken strips, french fries, and broccoli. She smiled and proceeded to a table in the corner.
Amanda and Beast Boy received their trays, said thank you, and followed raven to the table.
They sat down next to each other and started to eat and talk about their lives before the orphanage, slowly becoming closer friends with every word that was spoken.
