Can we take a moment to review the new Teen Titans series on Cartoon Network? Let me know what you think of that in the comments!

Ps. This might be a tad bit sad. NO angst. Promise.

18:

TTTTTT

Terra sat on the edge of her bed, looking through her photo album she had found under her bed. It wasn't an album in the literal sense, she supposed. But the pictures had been taped onto paper and put into a book, so she figured it was more or less the same thing. Some of the older ones were from her first few weeks at Titans Tower, before everything had gone wrong. A scattered few had the importance of being from the night at the carnival, which Terra had to hastily look past. She couldn't, wouldn't remember that night. It was too horrible.

She could feel herself getting sad. Were pictures supposed to make a person sad? These were all happy photos; they were the good times she had had with the Titans. But part of her felt that these things would just be a fleeting memory, just like the times in the photographs now were to her. The happy times would eventually pass, as they must, and she would be left alone once again to suffer and think about what had gone wrong.

They would all hate her again.

But they couldn't, could they?

Starfire still hugged the snot out of her every time she came home.

Cyborg let her help on the car and sometimes let her win at video games.

Robin showed her new ways to defend herself. He was training her.

Raven… Dealt with her.

Beast Boy loved her.

Loved. Loved? Or love? Past or present tense?

The photos said past. Her heart said present. Every time she saw his bright smile and the twinkle in his eyes, her heart fluttered like a little kid's on Christmas day. God, that sounded lame. But that didn't make it any less true.

But there was still this constant fear, this one thing, that she had never and would never tell Beast Boy; it would break his heart in two. She was absolutely terrified that he would one day decide that he didn't love her anymore, and she would have to leave the tower in shame. Surely he'd grow sick of her eventually. Everybody left eventually. Right?

Not right. He loved her. No. He loves her. Present tense. He has loved her, does love her, and will always love her. And that's just how things are supposed to go. Such is the way of fate. She tears you down, makes you depressed, punches you in the face, and then says 'get up'. She teaches you a lesson and then shows you how much better the world can be now that you have that new perspective.

She loves him. She wants to take him away from wherever he is and go running around somewhere, anywhere, where it can just be him, her, and what they are when they're together. It's something bigger than happiness, she thinks. Something perfect.

"Ter? You in here?" Beast Boy asked, poking his head into their bedroom.

"I'm here," she smiled, looking up from her photos.

"Watch'a got there?" he asked, hopping on the bed next to her.

"Pictures of your adorable face."

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say, darling."

"Hey Gar."

"Hey Ter."

"Love you."

"I know," he smiled, falling back on the bed.
She hit his chest, and lay down next to him.

He laughed. "I love you more Terra. Always."

TTTTTT

So… please don't hate me, but I kinda feel like this makes a decent ending to the entire thing. What do you guys think? Should I just end the story? Or keep going?
