Chapter One

The sunset cast a wide array of beautiful colors across the

water that separated Titan Tower from Jump City.  Reclining on the gravelly beach, Beast Boy

sighed in contentedness as he felt Terra's hand squeeze his.

"You guys are so lucky," she said dreamily.  "You get to see this every night!"

"Yeah," Beast Boy agreed, deciding not to mention that

everyone was usually too busy to watch the sunset.  Around this time of evening, he and Cyborg

would normally have begun their shouting match about who cheated playing video

games.  Robin would either be in his dojo

training, or listening to the police scanner. 

Raven would be locked in her room meditating.  Starfire was probably... well, nobody could

really predict what the loony alien would do. 

It didn't matter, though.  If

Terra enjoyed watching the sunset, then Beast Boy could go without blowing his

robot buddy into virtual rubble for at least one night.

"You know," he added, "you'll get to see it every night now

too, since you're one of us."  He turned

and gave her a warm smile.  Terra giggled

softly.  She'd always found the way Beast

Boy's fang protruded from his mouth funny. 

Funny in a cute way, that is.

"I don't know how to thank you guys enough for this!" she

said.  "Before now, I've never belonged

anywhere.  It's weird to finally... you

know, have a home."

"Weird in a good way, right?" Beast Boy asked, his eyes

gleaming.

"Eh, I'd say about the same type of weird as you," Terra

answered, winking coyly.

Beast Boy grinned in pride, but then his face went slack as

he tried to figure out if that was a compliment or not...

"I think I'm going to like it here," Terra said.  She leaned in closer to Beast Boy, and the

green changeling soon found himself with a beautiful girl resting her head on

his shoulders. Blushing a darker green

than usual, he felt his brain fizzle out, trying to figure out what to do.  Finally, he settled for putting his arm

around her shoulder.  When she smiled, he

blew out a sigh of relief, glad he had made the right move.

"Beast Boy, do you mind if I ask you something personal?"

Terra asked, her voice suddenly hesitant.

"Um, sure, I guess," Beast Boy answered.

For a moment, Terra was silent, and then all at once she

blurted out, "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Shocked by her own boldness, Terra sat upright and pulled

away from Beast Boy, who was equally as shocked.

"Um," Beast Boy stammered, scratching his head in

confusion.  "No, I haven't."

"Oh, okay," Terra responded, hugging her legs to her chest

and trying not to face her friend.

"Why... do you ask?" Beast Boy prompted her, though he had a

feeling he may already know where she was going with this.

"No reason, I was just curious," Terra said, looking down at

the ground.

For a minute, there was no sound except for the gentle

splashing of waves on the island's beach below them.  Finally, Beast Boy worked up his courage and

cleared his throat.

"Um, Terra," he said, second guessing himself with every

syllable.  "Do you want to... you

know...  be my...  um... girlfriend?"

Beast Boy desperately wanted to look away, knowing in his

gut that he'd gone too far, but he forced himself to look at the young woman

beside him.  To his surprise, though,

when Terra looked back up at him, she wore a smile on her face.

"Do you mean it, Beast Boy?" she asked.

"Do I mean what?" Beast Boy echoed, his overworked brain

failing him once again.

"Do you really want me to be your girlfriend?" she asked.

"Um, well... yeah, I do."

"Well, then," Terra said, blushing prettily, "I guess then

my answer would have to be... yes!"

Beast Boy sat there, stunned.  Even after all the times he had fantasized

about wooing scores of young ladies with his "natural charm," nothing could

have prepared him for the real thing.

"Well, then," he said, stupidly.

"Well, then, indeed," Terra agreed.

"Um... it's getting dark," said Beast Boy.  "Do you want to head back inside the tower?"

"Sure," Terra said. 

"But not before you give your new girlfriend a goodnight kiss!"

Beast Boy felt like his eyeballs would pop out of his head

from how wide they opened.  His jaw

dropped open in surprise.  Realizing how

stupid he looked, he snapped his eyes shut and pushed his jaw back where it

should have been.

"Okay," he said, trying to sound suave but only managing to

come across as incredibly nervous.

Smiling coyly, Terra began to lean in closer to Beast

Boy.  Tentatively, Beast Boy did the

same.  Before he knew it, their lips were

pressed together in a short, but meaningful, kiss.  Terra quickly whipped her head away from

Beast Boy's, a happy smile on her face.

"Good night, Beast Boy!" she said, leaping to her feet and running

to the tower before her new boyfriend could chase after her as the sun dipped

completely below the horizon.

The Next Morning

Terra yawned as beams of sunlight peeked through her bedroom

window, caressing her eyes and gently awakening her.  Sitting up in bed, she stretched.  It had been a good night's rest- the first

she could remember having in years.  Happy

tears threatened to leak from her eyes as she ran her hand over the first bed

she could ever remember being able to call her own.

Beast Boy!

Suddenly, the events from the previous night came rushing

back to her.  She bit her lip in

excitement.  Not only did she have a home

and friends, she had a gosh darn flipping

BOYFRIEND!!!  Throwing her covers

aside, she sprang from bed and threw some clothes on, eager to see her little

green lover again.

She found the rest of the team already in the main room of

Titan's Tower.  Raven was sitting on the

couch, reading a book.  Robin was

counting the number of calories he'd have to burn if he ate a bowl of Captain

Crunch for breakfast.  Starfire was

dancing around the room with a creepy looking caterpillar thing.  Cyborg and, most importantly, Beast Boy, were

playing video games.  It seemed nobody

had noticed her yet.  Grinning

maliciously, Terra crept up behind Beast Boy and covered his eyes with her

hands.

"Guess who?" she asked playfully.

"I think it's... CONTROL FREAK!" Beast Boy exclaimed before

leaping from his seat.  "Oh, looks like I

was wrong!  You're much too pretty to be...

whoa, what in the world?!"  Beast Boy's

eyes went wide, and he took a step backwards.

"What is it?" Cyborg asked, turning to look.  Suddenly, he reared his head back and

laughed.  "Terra, did you get into

Raven's makeup?  Girl, green is definitely not your color!"

"What are you talking about?" Terra demanded, equally angry

and confused.

Starfire flew up to look and giggled as well, "Friend Terra,

you are as green mouthed as the rundathons of Uumph!"

"What?" Terra asked again. 

"I'm not wearing any makeup!"

"Either you're wearing makeup," Raven said, looking up from

her book, "or you're turning into Beast Boy."

Terra froze.  Turning

to look, she saw that Beast Boy had frozen as well.

"Get me a mirror!" she ordered, but didn't wait for anyone

to do so.  She ran from the room,

frantically opening doors until she finally found a bathroom.  Slamming the door behind her, she turned on

the lights and ran to the mirror.

Sure enough, just as everyone had pointed out, the lower

half of her face, starting at her mouth and spreading outwards from there, was

green.  And not just any green,

either.  It was the same shade of green

as Beast Boy's skin!

Terra screamed in horror!
