Thank you, for reading my story. I will apologize this once, for my story being confusing or hard to follow. It was just two dimensions, the original and the one Garfield never became Beastboy. I didn't include ages, because that is math I didn't care to calculate. This is my one, and only, fanfic that I'll ever write.

I am not a good author.

I am not a good story teller.

But I wanted to write emotional moments in the characters lives.

I wanted to write a unique Teen Titans fanfic, for one of my favorite characters, Beastboy.

I had one idea, when I started this fanfic.

"What if Raven, cheated on Beastboy?"

Willingly, and by her own choices. That she would betray Garfield, and be with another person. Who I happened to pick Aqualad, since she showed interest in him during his first appearance.

So I sat down, and thought. Why would Raven do such a thing? Why not break up with Garfield? If she broke up with him before, then she didn't cheat on him.

So how?

I'll ask the readers to give their suggestion, for how Raven could cheat on Garfield. Not in a mean or standoffish way of course.

My first thought was, what if she never loved him in the first place?

That's a cop out. But doable.

No. She needed to love him. So it dawned on me.

We never question, why did Starfire fall in love with Robin? Just because he was the first person to show her kindness, that started their romance. And just because Beastboy showed kindness to Raven, that started their romance also.

How convenient.

But in my story, Dick and Kori played it smart. He went to Bludhaven, and she returned to Tamaran. They gave each other a chance at finding happiness with others. Then returned to be together.

Garfield latched onto Raven. And didn't want to let go.

Raven went to the Justice League, and experienced a life outside the Teen Titans. With new places and people, and a desire to branch out of Jump City, she happened to spend time with her partner. Aqualad.

Raven fell in love with Garfield, not only because his character, but because he was the only available bachelor on the team. Minus Cyborg.

Raven fell in love with Garth, not only because his character, I didn't delve into that, but she was transitioning into a new part of her life. Adulthood.

I did my best, to explain everyone's reasoning, and their short comings at the beginning.


"I'm not that strong Garth, no matter how far I've come in life, I'm still just that young kid that Raven met all those years ago. -Garfield

"All this time, all this time she carried the guilt of sharing herself between two men. She was greedy and selfish. She didn't WANT to choose... She didnt deserve either of them." -Raven

"But when she came back, when she would come back from YOU, she was more confident, and she was falling more and more in love with me... I know it. And I couldn't hide my feelings any longer." -Aqualad


So by loving and supporting Raven, Garfield gave her the confidence to break out of her shell. To pursue life after the Teen Titans, then meet the man that she would also fall in love with.

Garfield was from her past, and Garth was the future.

They all decided to move ahead… except Beastboy.

So now what? Beastboy with nothing to do, nowhere to go? Awkward Thanksgiving's and Christmas parties?

No. I needed to rub salt in his wounds, with the promise of happiness at the very end.

That's my story telling.

So why not send Garfield to a world, where Raven WOULD love him?

I wrote Logan, as an end game Beastboy. No different, if Nightwing was there, the day they became a team. Logan had all the love and care Garfield held for the team. So much, he smothered them. Like Garfield did to Raven.

But there needed to be a trade off, for Logan doing all the work.

Robin never went down the path of Red X. Patched his relationship with Batman, and grew to love his team like a family.

Cyborg looked passed his machine form, much sooner than in the show. Was appreciated for being the most supportive member of the team, and rekindled his relationship with his father.

Starfire gained her confidence early on, and had her heart to heart with Blackfire.

And Raven… was loved from the very beginning. Given support, confidence and was protected along the way.

At the end, Garfield was in the same situation he was in, in chapter one. The team moved on.

Everyone, weren't the same people he knew back in his younger days. So he'd forever be the friend off to the side, that lost years with them. But this time, they had children.

And Garfield would never change anything, to jeopardize the lives of his nieces, nephews and brother.

But he needed a romance of his own. I purposefully wrote the story description to include Raven, Starfire and Terra. Hoping to hide the fact that he would end up with a nameless OC. The track runner from the other world, who had a crush on young Garfield.


"I'm leaving..."

"I know. But where ever you go, we'll see each other again." -OC


I really tried, to write emotionally powerful moments. My absolute favorite show, is the Twilight Zone. And the actors in it, are so powerful in their performances. That they truly feel what's printed in the script.

I wanted the characters to feel that.

The emptiness in Garfield losing Raven, and from being left behind.

The joy and love, Star and Cy grew from their time with Logan.

Robin, realizing the mistake of Red X.

Both Robin and Cyborg, and their relationships with their fathers.

Terra's fantasies about her and Logan.

Raven, falling in love with Logan.

Garfield, seeing that life prospered without him.

And finally, the OC, that got Garfield in the end.

I went with Raven never loving Beastboy. The cop out. But I showed a Raven that wasn't perfect. A Garfield and Garth that weren't perfect either.

But maybe, in the original dimension. Garfield and Raven weren't meant to be…

So that's it. Thanks again for reading. Thank you all that reviewed or showed interest in my story. If you didn't like it, you didn't waste any money. Fanfiction is free. They let anyone submit a story.
