Hey guys, sorry for the long delay on this next chapter. I had terrible sun poisoning, I mean it was really bad, we're talking red skin and blisters all over my face, but I'm better now. So here you go!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS! But I do own the moon ^^ (hahahaha I wish)
Thank you grlwithapen for being such a wonderful beta!
BTW! I have been working on another fanfic. If you like Avatar, please check out my story about Sokka and Suki, Young Love.
Raven looked to the blue sky and smiled, she was looking forward to school but she wasn't looking forward to her classes with Terra. She did feel a little bad for snapping at Terra over and over yesterday, but she came back and never even told the other Titans of her return. She was downright furious.
On the bright side, it was nice to see Beast Boy in such high spirits again. He hadn't stopped smiling since he saw Terra, or maybe it was just the fact that he was becoming such good friends with Amanda.
"Aren't you excited Paige?" Beast Boy exclaimed once they reached the beginning of the school gates.
"Honestly, I can't really say that I am." Raven said straightening her black tie and blue skirt.
Beast Boy looked as though Raven had just punched him in the gut. "Why not?"
Raven sighed. "Because almost all of my classes are with Terra. I only have one class without her."
Beast Boy's smile returned to his face and a faint blush rushed to his cheeks. "Most of my classes are with Terra too, but I'm not sad about it."
They walked in silence as they entered their new school and went to their first class to find Terra sitting in the back of the room holding something shiny in her hands.
"Ah, you must be Paige and Logan. My name is Mr. Dales, welcome to my art room. Please sit anywhere you want to." The teacher said.
Beast Boy quickly ran to Terra's empty table and sat down next to her. Having no choice with seats since all the other ones were filled, she followed Beast Boy and sat across from him.
"Hey Terra!" Beast Boy whispered. He looked down at her hands to see what she was fiddling with, and saw a butterfly pin, which made him gasp.
"Hi Logan." Terra said not taking her eyes off of the pin.
Raven looked at the pin and recognized it from when Terra first entered the Tower. That proved it, it really was Terra.
"Hello Terra." Raven said giving her a glare. "What's that?"
Terra finally looked up and handed the pin to Raven and looked at the teacher. "It's a pin, but I haven't been wearing it lately…"
"Why not?" Beast Boy said truly interested.
"Because," Terra began. "I had a nightmare about…my past the other night and when I woke up this was in my hair, and I hadn't put it there before I went to sleep."
Raven looked up at Beast Boy and he had been looking at her, she could tell that he was thinking about his nightmare and the mask he found on his bed.
"Strange…" Beast Boy said turning to the teacher.
"Today students," Mr. Dales began. "We will be sketching a memory, a fantasy, or a dream. You may pick from those three, and if you can't decide I will tell you what to draw." He said looking at Terra's table. "Now please pull out your journals and begin."
Terra pulled out a black notebook and opened to a blank page, and began to sketch.
Beast Boy and Raven just looked around, not knowing what to do. But sensing their distress, Mr. Dales walked over with to un-used journals. "Here you go. I hope to see them filled with drawings by the end of the week." And with that, he walked away.
Beast Boy walked to a table in the middle of the room where he saw other students getting pencils and grabbed three. He walked back and handed two of them to Terra and Raven and saved one for himself.
Raven looked at the blank pages and thought about what she was going to draw. She chose to draw a memory. With that, she picked up her pencil, and began to sketch.
She let her hand flow with the pencil, and let the pencil flow with the paper. She first sketched a rock floating in the middle of the paper and then proceeded to sketch three people standing on top of it. She didn't bother drawing the identity of the three people because if Terra looked up from her drawing, she would've recognized them. She did however draw their hair. Short hair for the person on the left; hair to the shoulder for the person on the right; and long straight hair for the person in the middle.
After five minutes of drawing, Raven's hand started to hurt, so she set down her pencil and glanced at what Beast Boy was drawing. His paper had a boy and a girl sitting in a cart of a Ferris wheel talking. He also hadn't drawn the appearance of the two people which probably meant that it was a memory with Terra in it.
Raven sighed. Even though it was nice to see Beast Boy in high spirits, she had been feeling left out, and kind of lonely since they found Terra.
Beast Boy walked to his next class without Raven, who had history. So he walked side by side with Terra how was still looking at her pin. Beast Boy didn't care if she wasn't talking; it was just great to see her again.
"So, when am I going to see you around the orphanage?" Beast Boy said trying to start a conversation.
Terra looked up from her pin and smiled. "I'm actually going there after school, I want to spend as much time there as possible."
"Awesome!" Beast Boy exclaimed, putting a wide grin on his face. "You can walk with Paige and me after school! And why do you want to spend as much time there as possible?"
Terra sighed as a frown spread on her face. "Because I want to work there as much as possible before my family moves to New York."
Beast Boy gasped in horror. "YOU'RE FAMILY IS MOVING?"
Terra jumped from the loudness of Beast Boy's voice next to her ear. "Yeah. My foster dad got a promotion and my family is leaving in about a month."
Beast Boy's brain stopped working. He couldn't think of what to say, because everything that he was thinking of saying would reveal that he was Beast Boy. This is terrible, that means that they had even less time to get Terra to come back to the Teen Titans!
"I'm so sorry!" Beast Boy said with his thoughts moving forward once more. "Well, I guess we don't have a lot of time to get to know each other…"
Terra faintly blushed and smiled slightly. "Yeah, that's a shame."
Beast Boy smiled at the thought of Terra being upset that they wouldn't get to get to know each other a lot before she moved.
"We should hangout before you move." Beast Boy said trying to ask her out before she realized it.
Terra smiled, "You should come over to my house this weekend with Paige. My parents are going to check out the new house and they said that I can invite some friends over, so I think you should come and hangout."
Beast Boy smiled. "So does that mean Paige and I are your friends?"
Terra looked at Beast Boy with her big, blue eyes. "Yes."
They walked the rest of their way to class in silence letting a million questions fill their heads about their future.
Terra walked home by herself looking at the pictures she had drawn in her sketch book since the beginning of the year. Some flowers, her family, herself, a few animals, and in the back of the book superhero's.
She sat down on a bus stop bench and flipped through the drawings; gently turning the pages as if they were going to turn to dust at her touch. The first page contained herself in her old uniform, she hadn't colored in the page but she could picture the colors there as if it weren't a drawing but a picture.
The next few pages had drawings of the Teen Titans that she clipped out from the news paper and glued onto the pages, her favorite one was the one of Beast Boy showing off for the camera by doing peace signs and funny faces, she couldn't help but giggle every time she looked at these pictures.
She turned the page once more to find drawings of Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg. They were her closest friends while she was part of her family. She smiled with tears in her eyes and turned the page one last time.
On the last page of her sketch book was the strip covered in pictures of her and Beast Boy when they went on their first date; and next to the pictures was a picture of her and her two best friends in their school uniforms. They were laughing, and sitting at their favorite in their favorite part of the local mall near the rocky water feature.
Terra put this next to the strip of pictures to remind her that even though she missed the Titans terribly, she had a new life and she couldn't just get up and leave everything to rejoin the Teen Titans.
She closed the book when the bus arrived to take her home. She climbed on and took her normal seat in the back where she could see Titans Tower through the crystal clear window.
So what do you think? PLEASE COMMENT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! :D
