Epilogue

Ten minutes have passed, and the fireworks were still going. Beast Boy and Raven were sitting next to one another on the ground with their backs against a flat slab of a rock. They were leaning against each other, with Raven's head on Beast Boy's shoulder. They watched as the fireworks decorating the night sky above the city. It truly was a spectacular marvel.

"So what do you think about making a house here?" Beast Boy asked.

"What?" Raven didn't understand.

"You know, out here. It'd be a nice place to live, don't ya think?"

"I'm not sure I wanna think that far ahead yet." Raven didn't see his face, but she knew Beast Boy was frowning. "But yeah. It would be nice." She felt the smile return on Beast Boy's face. She smiled as well and grabbed Beast Boy's arm and hugged it.

Beast Boy, using his other arm, reached around Raven and hugged her back. He still couldn't believe it. Raven and him…together. Beast Boy still thought about Terra, but the pain and depression he felt from it wasn't there anymore. Whatever was wrong with Terra, he…No. They would figure out what was wrong with her eventually. After all, just like what Mento and Arella said, it takes time for things to happen, right?

As they held each other, Beast Boy heard a snap behind them. "What was that?" Beast Boy was startled by the sudden noise.

"That was me splitting a rock with my mind." Raven answered.

"Huh?"

"I'm focusing my power on something else besides you at the moment. It isn't easy, but…" The sound of another rock splitting was heard. "It's safe."

Beast Boy laughed. "Better the rocks than me. I'm just afraid by the time we're through trying to control your powers, there won't be any more left here."

"It'll be worth it. My only concern is what to use when we're in the Tower. I guess I could always bring some rocks with me or use…" Raven talked, but the word that struck Beast Boy like a brick was Tower.

"The Tower?" Beast Boy nearly cried out. "Aw crap!"

"What? What is it?" Raven lifted her head to look at Beast Boy.

"How are we gonna tell this to everyone else?" Beast Boy asked. He had a good point.

"Well…"

"Oh man. Star's gonna go psycho with joy when she finds out, and Cy's not gonna shut up about it for awhile either."

"Beast Boy, I've been thinking…" Beast Boy listened with full intent. "What if we don't tell them?"

"Don't tell them? As in keep this a secret?"

"It's not going to be anything we take to our graves, but I think it would be best if we just let them figure it out for themselves."

"Ok, but…" Beast Boy wasn't sure about this. "What if they do find out, and they get mad about it?"

"Beast Boy, it's us." Raven plainly said. "They'll understand why we hid it if they do find out. Besides…" Raven leaned closer to her boyfriend, kissed his cheek, and whispered in his ear, "I think it'll be more fun this way, don't you think?" She smiled.

"…Yeah. I guess you're right." And with that, Raven rested her head on Beast Boy's shoulder and the two continued to stare at the night sky. At least another problem was solved.

Later…

"Hey guys, we're home." Beast Boy said with a cheery mood as he and Raven walked into the main room of Titan's Tower. Robin and Cyborg were playing videogames while Starfire watched. Robin hit the pause button as soon as he heard Beast Boy, and all the Titans looked back at both of them.

"Beast Boy!" Starfire said as she flew towards the changeling. "You mood has changed for the better!" she was obviously excited.

"All thanks to Raven." he said. Raven was standing next to him, holding the giant chicken he won.

"You two had a good time together, huh?" Cyborg said as he and Robin walked up.

"It was ok." Raven said in her usual grim mood.

"Glad to see you guys are back." Robin said.

"Think you'll want to go there again tomorrow?" asked Cyborg.

Beast Boy and Raven looked at each other, then looked back.

"Nah." Said Beast Boy. "I'm kinda tired. I think I'll just sleep through tomorrow."

"Raven?" Cyborg looked at Raven.

"One night at the carnival's good enough for me. I'll pass." Raven said.

"Ok then. Your loss." Cyborg smiled. Everyone was happy that night.

When everyone went to bed, Beast Boy was lying on his bed in his room staring at the ceiling, thinking about what happened today. Raven was also in her room thinking about what happened. They both smiled, and slowly went to sleep, thinking about what tomorrow was going to be like.

After all, it takes time for something to happen, doesn't it?
