You may have seen it on the R/S shrine, but here it is! I'm postin all eleven chaps at once...so...
Chapter 1: The Yellow Communicator
I grasped the yellow communicator in my hand. I had mixed feelings about it: discouraged, of course, because it seemed I wasn't very good at lying, yet...happy, somewhat, because I guess it shows that I am not easily forgotten, even when it seems that I forget easily. Just then, Mrs. Jordan called the class to order and began handing out our Geometry test. Hastily, I put the communicator back in my purse and turned to my test. I tried to focus, but between the fact that I didn't study and what had just happened to me, that was nearly impossible.
~Flashback~
"Okay," I said, getting annoyed. "You have two minutes."
"Maybe you don't remember," He told me, "But I do. You're my friend. You're a Teen Titan."
"You're wrong." I lied.
"You don't belong here, Terra."
"Stop calling me that!" I said, wishing he would just leave.
"It's who you are."
"What do you want from me?"
"Why can't things just go back to the way they were? You were so happy then."
I was... I thought. "Things were never the way you remember." I denied. "Leave me alone."
He handed me his communicator and said, "Here. Take this. In case you're in trouble, in case you need me, you can call me any time."
I wanted to take it. But I knew I couldn't. "I don't need it." I said.
"But..." He started, desperately.
"Time's up." I told him, beginning to walk away.
"Terra..."
"Things change, Beast Boy. The girl you want me to be is just a memory."
Just then, I heard a familiar voice; my old team leader, Robin.
"Come in, Beast Boy. We need your help!"
"Come with me." He said.
Oh, Beast Boy...I'm so sorry..."You go. You're the Teen Titan. That's who you are. That's not me. I'm not a hero. I'm not out to save the world. I'm just a girl with a geometry test next period and I haven't studied."
The bell rang and my classmates began to disperse. I walked away and disappeared into the croud. From behind me I could hear, "Beast Boy to Robin. I'm on my way. Over." And he was gone. I leaned on the lockers and sighed. A second later, Tina and Lani opened their lockers next to me, talking about their cute, young science teacher, Mr. Thomas, and their last class.
"Hey, Cindy." Tina said to me.
"Hey," I said back, staring into space.
"I love science class!..." Lani cried.
"The lab coats, not exactly glamourous, but someone forgot to tell our school that the science geeks aren't supposed to be smolderingly hott!!"
"Yes," I added, "But isn't it so much better this way?"
"Yes!!" Lani and Tina screamed in unison.
"I've got biology next," Tina said.
"I have geometry."
"Me too.." I replied
"Did you study for the test?"
"Nah."
"Well, see ya then!" Lani smiled.
"Bye guys!" Tina said.
My friends went in seperate directions and waved good-bye to me, or, Cindy. I opened my locker, which was harder than usual because I couldn't remember my combination. I took out my geometry book, even though I wouldn't need it for a test, and took out my purse, because I had forgotten it for first period. I slowly walked to Mrs. Jordan's class. All I could think about was the way he looked at me as I was walking away. I had known that by trying to save him I would have to hurt him, but I didn't know that it would hurt me this much too.
I sighed and thought that there was nothing that could be done. I reached in my purse to get out a pen for the test. There, my hand hit something hard. I immediately knew what it was. I pulled out the round, yellow, 'T' communicator and stared at it. I heard the bell ring again, walked into the classroom, and sat at a desk in the back of the room.
~End Flashback~
And so I sat there, filling in true or false questions and calculating difficult answers in my head. But my mind was somewhere else. Somewhere shaped like a giant 'T'. Somewhere where there is a green boy annoying a goth girl. Somewhere with a half robot making fun of a masked boy because he was spending a lot of time with an alien girl. Somewhere that I belonged. But it was somewhere that I couldn't go.
Before I knew it, no one except for me and Mrs. Jordan were in the room. She walked up to me and said, "Cindy, honey, the test is over." I jerked my head up and handed her my test, which was only half done. It was now time for lunch, and I walked outside the classroom for the cafeteria. I ordered Mac n' Cheese, chocolate milk, and cherry jello for lunch and walked to the outdoors eating area. I sat down alone and took out my communicator.
"You're very stubborn, you know that?" I said into it.
"Maybe..." Beast Boy said as his smirking face appeared on the screen.
"I failed my test. I hope you know that will be on your conscience."
"There'll be more tests, Terra."
"Its Cindy."

So, you may not think much of it yet seeing as you already knew most of it, but tell me what ya think!!!

Chapter 2: Detention and Pizza
My plan had been perfect: sneak a communicator into her purse when she wasn't looking. And everyone thinks I'm the stupid one? Just as I thought she would, she called me, just after we were able to finish off that weird, white creature. She claims her name is Cindy. I don't want to believe her though. I'll figure out what's going on eventually. But for now, all I can do is play along. Its the only way I could talk to her again, and I really missed her.
After telling me her name, she said that someone as stubborn as me just can't seem to be avoided, so we might be able to be friends. Then she ended the conversation. I decided to wait until the next day to call her again. Calling her the same day would annoy her, and I didn't want her to pull away. So the next day in the afternoon, I gave her a call. Unfortunetly, it wasn't a good time for her...
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
I was sitting in World History. I was supposed to be listening to Mr. Jones and take notes on the ancient Romans. While I was attempting to do just that, I had a hard time consentrating, and I started doodling on the margin of my notebook. Things like a T-shaped tower, a round communicator, and a heart-shaped box. Making this, the quiet World History session, one of the absolute worst times for him to call.
When the communicator rang, it seemed that every single person in my class checked their phones to see if someone had called them, and they started quite a commotion. By this time, Mr. Jones was getting very angry and said, almost shouted, "All right, all right!! Whose cell phone was it?"
Slowly and shyly, I raised my hand and said, "M...Mine, sir."
He looked down at me and said, "Miss Johnson, you know the rules. Now give me your cell phone. You can have it back after detention."
I handed him the communicator and sighed. It was the last period, and detention was next. When the bell rang, I walked down the hall to where you serve detention. There, I got to thinking. Why am I still talking to him? The whole point to my new identity is to leave him alone! I've caused enough damage, and if I keep talking to him, there could be more.
Maybe so, my other half thought, But you are leaving him alone. He isn't leaving you alone. Besides, Terra isn't the one who is talking to him; Cindy is. But my doubtful side thought, I know that, but I'm Terra and Cindy! Look, as I said, we hurt him enough. Think of how bad he must have felt that night! He probably thought that all of those feelings for him were a lie...but they were all true.
Exactly, the other side thought, you have to talk to him because you liiiiiiiiiike him. You want to huuuuuuuuug him. You want to kiiiiiiiiss him. My doubtful side started getting irritated. Okay, now you're just quoting movies! Don't you ever think you're just a little bit crazy? "Twenty four seven...." I said out loud, making the teacher who was running detention look up and say, "What was that, Miss Johnson?" I hurriedly replied, "Oh, nothing!!!"
Back inside my head, I thought, Okay, calm down you two. How about this: we still talk to Beast Boy. Cindy becomes friends with Beast Boy. But we do not under any cercumstances go back to being Terra. We do not use our powers. And finally, and this is the most important part, we do not go back to having feelings for him. Got it? My two sides replied, got it... I sighed and thought to myself, I am crazy...
As soon as I got out of detention, I opened my communicator and said, "I got a detention for that!! Listen, we need to talk about our little 'arrangement'..."
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Apparently, I had gotten her in detention. She said we had to talk about what we were doing, so she told me to meet her at the pizza place. She also said to wear normal clothes, because according to her, she "Can't even define what you usually wear." I was reluctant, but I figured she'd be wearing something cute, so I might as well. I put on a pair of old faded jeans, a white long-sleeved shirt with a red T-shirt over it, and sneakers.
I flew to the the pizza place to find that she had already gotten there. She looked amazing: she was wearing a tube top that went past her waist, dark jeans, and black flip-flops. She had some jewelery on, too, a black choker necklace with a silver heart hanging from it, with a matching bracelet and earrings. Her hair was in a pony tail, a way I hadn't seen it in before, and it looked like it had a slight curl to it. I couldn't say a word, but fortunately, she started talking.
"Hi Beast Boy! I ordered a cheese pizza already. Is that okay?" She began. "Beast Boy? Beeeeeeeeast Booooy? Are you there?"
I snapped out of my daze and said, "Cheese? Oh, yeah, cheese is fine."
"So, shall we sit?" She smiled. We sat down at a nearby table.
"Well, Cindy, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"You've gone through all of the trouble of sneaking into my locker and planting a communicator in my purse," She said, "Just so you could talk to me. So tell me: what do you want?"
"You say you aren't Terra."
"Again and again."
"So, who are you? What's your story? Let me get to know...Cindy."
"All right," She began. Yessss....I thought. "But--"
"Great!!! You can call me whenever you--"
"On three conditions, however."
"Oh really..." I said curiously.
"Yes. If I'm going to be friends with a Titan, there has to be some rules."
"What would those be?"
"One: You can't just call me any old time. I don't want to hear that Titan...ring...thingy while I'm in class, like what happened today."
"Fair enough..." I said.
"I get out of school at 2:30. I'm available any time on weekends, and lunch break is from 12:00 to 12:40. I suggest that you never call me before 9:00, or else my semi-awake form will have to kill you."
"Duly noted."
"Two: You stop with this 'Terra' business. I'm not her, so just forget about that."
"Weeeeell...."
"Beast Boy!!!"
"That might be a little bit harder...But okay. What's number three?"
"You have to tell me your real name."
"My real name?" I said, suprised.
"Well no one's real name is Beast Boy!!!"
"But do I have to?"
"For this to work, yes."
"....Fine...." I started, not wanting to say it. "Its...well....Garfeild....." I cringed.
She grinned at me. "Is it now? Its okay. But you don't like it, do you? I'm going to call you Gar instead."
"Can't you just call me Beast Boy like everyone else?"
"Hey!! Do you want to talk to me ever again?!"
I sighed. "Fine."
"Good. Now, here comes our pizza."
