Nothing Lasts Forever

While practicing with an ancient Azarathian spell, Raven accidentally sends herself and Beast Boy through a series of time lapses. Things begin to go from bad to worse as the two realize that this was only the beginning… BB/Rae, Star/Rob

This idea has been floating around in my head for awhile so; I figure I will try it out. Constructive Criticism is always welcomed. I hope to keep the characters as true to their personalities as I can. This is going to be a fun story to write and I hope you enjoy it. Now without further a due, on with the story!

I don't own Teen Titans.

Chapter 1

For the longest time, Raven stood there motionless. Her eyes stared out the window, as she watched her friends play in the bright summer sun. With all the commotion going on and the loud noises, her curiosity brought her from the book she was reading.

Down below, Cyborg was using his cannon blaster in his arm to shoot water at Beast Boy. It seemed the green boy was avoiding every move his friend made and Cyborg was getting annoyed.

"Yo man hold still!" He complained loudly. "It's not fair if you fly away before you get hit."

"I'm not being fair? What do you mean? You're the one cheating with that giant water gun of yours! Besides when I meant having a water fight I was thinking of water balloons!" Beast Boy protested.

"Yeah, but those are no fun. Stop being a wimp BB." Cyborg chided. Beast Boy just pouted and took off as a green raven towards where Robin and Starfire were having a picnic.

The rock they sat on overlooked the harbor and the bright sun reflected off the water's surface. It was perfectly romantic; at least it was until Beast Boy suddenly morphed back and took a sandwich from the platter between the too.

The couple jumped involuntarily, their eyes breaking off from the others. Both were blushing red and glared at Beast Boy irritably. Beast Boy however just started laughing his head off when he saw their expressions.

"Dudes! You should have seen the looks on your faces." He said, gasping between breaths. He laughed again even harder but Robin did not look amused.

"Beast Boy find someone else to annoy! Scaring Starfire and I like that is not something to laugh about. If you think we need more training, then I will easily call the whole break time off!"

Beast Boy's eyes widened with shock. "What? You can't do that. Raven hasn't even had a chance to come out and have some fun."

"Then that's her problem. You shouldn't force her to do anything Beast Boy." Robin advised. Beast Boy however didn't listen. He fixed his gaze upon Raven's window and was surprised to see the girl standing there watching them. She looked almost sad.

"Well I'm going to bring her down here, one way or another. It must be so hot and stuffy in that room of hers. I bet she would love a bit of fresh air."

Robin snorted. "Good luck. When Raven makes up her mind about something she usually sticks to it."

"How hard can it be? She looks like she wants to come out. Raven is probably being stubborn or something and I think I have a way to get her outside!" Beast Boy said confidently.

"You will do that? That is so thoughtful Beast Boy!" Starfire exclaimed happily. "I do not wish Raven to be lonely in the tower, while we are having a joyous time."

"Starfire you do realize Beast Boy just wants to flirt more with Raven? That's the whole reason why he wanted this break in the first place. Just another day to goof off and act like an idiot." Robin sighed.

Beast Boy blushed, glaring at the Boy Wonder with anger. "That's not true! I-I just want to her to hang out with us! What's so wrong with that?"

"Nothing's wrong. It's your own fault if you're too chicken to do anything about it." Robin countered.

Fuming with anger, Beast Boy stormed back into the tower and quickly grabbed one of the water balloons lying in a small heap. As slammed the door shut, Cyborg watched him go with a confused expression. What had changed Beast Boy's mood so drastically?

Shrugging to himself, he went back to refill his cannons with water and took aim at Robin. He smirked in satisfaction as Robin started fighting back, by yelling and throwing some of the discarded water balloons back towards him.

Back in the tower, Raven frowned at the reckless behavior she saw outside. The way they were acting was so childish, wasting the few times they had when they were not training or fighting evil. But just because they were acting this way, doesn't mean she had to.

No, she would use this time to practice a new spell she had been studying. Without the constant distractions of a noisy tower, she could practice the new spell she had discovered in an old tome deep within her library. The words were faded and it required all her concentration to make out the letters.

"Azarath Metrione Zinthos…Mi jaceno….Yor…rock!" Raven sounded out carefully. Delighted with the purple aura that had developed around a small stone, she continued reading. With any luck she might be able to master a new form of telekinesis that few monks even knew on Azarath.

As she muttered the last few incantations, she was startled by a large object flying towards her. Before she could react, Raven was hit squarely in the face with a water balloon. Icy wet droplet dripped from her hair and she heard the familiar laughter of Beast Boy.

Growling angrily, she forgot the spell momentarily and turned her attention to her attacker who was laughing hysterically. "Beast Boy… you idiot! Just look what you've done! You ruined my spell! Not only that but I'm soaking wet!"

Beast Boy upon seeing Raven's expression backed away slowly. Her eyes had turned a dark red and she was fuming furiously. Realizing his stupidity a bit too late, he decided to run as fast as he could in hopes that he could make it out alive.

"Raven! I'm sorry! I was just goofing around! Really! Please don't kill me!" He shouted over his shoulder. By now Raven was flying over towards him, her hands flashing a dark blue. She was almost upon him when she stopped dead in her tracks and opened her mouth up in surprise.

Beast Boy glancing up at Raven warily wondered why she wasn't attacking. Instead, she was staring past him in shock. "Raven? Um, are you okay?"

Raven didn't answer him but continued to stare out the window where Jump City had once been. When Beast Boy finally got the courage to turn his head, he saw that where the once known view of the city had been replaced with a dark purple barrier. Their home and the other Titans were gone.
