Chapter 1
Music Composer.
Beast Boy sighed as his drool slid down his face from boredom. God was he bored. There hasn't been an attack in Jump City for days. It was a slow week at Titans tower. Cyborg didn't want to play any games. Getting older made him spend more time on the T-car. Robin was training in the training room. It seemed that with every passing day that went by, he became stronger. Starfire was always with Robin. Always watching him to learn more ways of Earth. Not to mention their booming relationship. Ever since the Trigon incident, they have been dating endlessly. Raven was reading one of her books on the couch across from Beast Boy.
He sighed and sat next to her, "What do you find so interesting about these books?" He said snatching it from her and flipping quickly through the pages, "No pictures. The words are way small. And the book is too long!"
Raven sighed and grabbed the book back, "Beast Boy, we've been through this conversation three times this week. Maybe you should find your own hobby. Besides playing video games." She stood up and walked into the hallway, towards her room to read in silence.
Beast Boy sighed as he watched her leave. He and Raven have been great friends since the Trigon thing. He remembered the good luck penny he gave her. He really liked Raven, but she would sometimes just zone out to meditate. Beast Boy had nothing left.
Sure his life wasn't all bad. He still ruled at video games. He was really into music right now. He sighed as he dragged himself towards his bedroom. He passed Raven's room, then ran back when he heard something.
Quickly changing into a rat and squeezing through the door he ran into the corner to listen better.
"Ah..." Raven sighed flipping through a book of her and her friends, "Good times...I can't believe its been three years since I joined this group. Robin...Starefire...Cyborg...and Beast Boy...Beast Boy..."
The rat in the corner gasped and squeezed out the door. Once outside he reverted back to his normal form and knocked on the door. He heard Raven drop something and a low banging sound. She slid the door open slightly and peeked through, "Yes?"
"I heard you call my name as I walked by." He said with a smile across his face. Raven chuckled and slid the door open all the way.
"Yeah. I was just putting a spell on you."
"What!"
"I'm joking..." She said sitting down on her bed. A small smile over her face as she watched Beast Boy look around her room like he was some sort of cat. She fell in love with the shapeshifter a long time ago. Of course Raven could easily hide her feelings for him. She wished she could just tell him sometimes.
"Why did you let me in your room?" He asked confused, "I've only been in here three times. The time when I saw that mirror with Cyborg. The time I spied on you and found out your birthday, and...now."
"Because I feel like it." She said watching him head for the door, "Leaving so soon?"
"Yeah," He said looking back at her, "I think I'm gonna get a job. Part-time, you know? Its been going through my head for days now."
"What do you have in mind?"
Beast Boy turned fully towards her and smiled proudly, "Video game music composer!"
Raven sighed. He did play alot of video games. Not to mention his sudden love for music. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea, "Maybe I can follow you?"
Beast Boy raised an eyebrow, "Oh no. Your being nice again! Is it the end of the world!"
She shook her head, "No. I just want something to do. Not to mention I'm bored. Now get out of my room. I want to change my clothes." She pushed him out, then closed the door.
Beast Boy scratched his head, "Your being nice, you want to follow me, and now your actually going to change your clothes?" He had to admit. He couldn't wait to see Raven in normal clothing.
Beast Boy sighed as he waited outside Raven's room. He's been waiting for over ten minutes now. If she wanted to folow him, she should hurry the hell up. Beast Boy didn't have on anything to fancy. Just a red long sleeve shirt with a short sleeve un-buttoned shirt on the outisde, and blue baggy jeans. His sneakers were white with red stripes.
Finally the door slid open and Raven walked out. Well it didn't look like Raven. Beast Boy knew she was beautiful, but who knew she held back so much beauty inside her cloaks. She had on a slightly tight black shirt which showed off her well built chest. Beast Boy never noticed that before. Her low-rider jeans with showed off her incredible curves, like the jeans were meant for her. The jeans were black also. And her black sneakers to top it all off.
Beast Boy shook off the drool awaiting to fall, "Y-You ready to go?"
"Yeah."
Beast Boy snuck into Cyborg's room and grabbed the keys to the T-car. He was about to leave when Raven stopped him, "You sure thats such a good idea?"
"I've been doing it for months," He said walking out and towards the garage. He peaked inside. Cyborg wasn't there. Beast Boy ran to the car, deactivated the security systems and got inside, "C'mon Rae. Get in."
She nodded and got into the car. Beast Boy smiled as he started the car and zoomed off. Once far away from Titans Tower he sighed in relief and looked at Raven. Who knew she was so damn beautiful, "So what made you follow me? To take pity on me if I don't get the job?"
"Something like that,"
"But no need to get all dressed up," Beast Boy said turning a curve. He was heading for an audition studio. He already knew what video game he wanted to compose for. It was an RPG. His idol, Nobo Uetsumatsu, composed for an RPG game.
(Can you guess which RPG?)
"Whats with all the questions?" Raven asked all of a sudden. It was starting to get on her nerves, "What? A girl can't get dressed up and follow her friend around?"
Beast Boy sighed, "I never said anything like that. Its just way too weird, way too sudden. You could of taken things slower, you know?"
Raven sighed. Maybe he was right. She did change really quick. She would of just flew home to go change, but there was no sense in it now. Beast Boy had already parked the T-car at this big fancy building. It was freakin' tall and painted black all over. You couldn't even see through the windows. They were one-way.
The two stepped out of the car and walked into the building. Almost instantly every guy that was there began drooling over Raven. Much to her discomfort, and made Beast Boy want to claw out their eys. Literally. Beast Boy walked over to the corner with Raven and looked at the woman at the counter.
"Your name?"
"Its Takeru Kunisada." Beast Boy said as she flipped through the books. Raven blankly stared at him for a second. He caught this and whispered in her ear, "I just wanted a cool Japanese name...you know. Just until I go world famous."
"Wow," Raven said in her usual tone, "What an amazing idea..."
"Oh Mr. Kunisada. Your up next. Just go through that door, make a left, and keep going straight. Mr.Harpies is waiting for you."
Beast Boy nodded and walked down the hallway with Raven. Once they wee in the hallway she asked, "You made an appointment? Wow. For once your using your head."
"Funny stuff," Beast Boy said sarcasticaly, "I was up all night preparing for this day! My favorite RPG of all time! Guild Galaxy! Its gonna be so awesome!"
The two walked into the room where a man was sitting at his desk talking on the phone. Once he looked at Beast Boy and Raven he sighed and hung up the phone, "You are my last hope! I've interviewed everyone who wants the job, and they all suck! Now...Takeru is it? We need you to play us a good song for the Guild Galaxy francise battle music."
Beast Boy brought out the CD, "Your turning it into a francise? Thats going to be awesome." He popped the CD into the CD player, "So I'm guessing this will be the battle music for Guild Galaxy two?"
\Mr. Harpies nodded, "Okay lets see what you have."
The music started to play and Mr. Hapries closed his eyes for a second. The music started off soft...then went heavy. It was nice. A good mixture. It was go great when attacking, and casting summons. It was great. He loved he. Mr. Hapries pushed stop making Beast Boy's heart sink, "Where on earth did you get the technology to make such a high quality song like that?"
"Titans tower." Beast Boy blurted out. He mentally cursed himself for saying such a thing.
"Titans tower?" Mr. Harpies repeated in question, "You a new member there?"
Beast Boy sighed, "Uh...no...Beast Boy is my name. Takeru Kunisada is kinda like my...street name."
"Well Takeru," Mr. Harpies said liking that name much better, "When can you start for me on composing on Guild Galaxy2?" Beast boy gasped.
"You mean I got the job!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
Mr. Harpies nodded, "You can call me Logan. And yes. Well, if you sign a contract with us saying that you'll be composing until the end of the francise. Hell knows when that would be."
"No problem, man!" Beast Boy shook his head, "Yes! So when do I report to work?"
Mr. Harpies thought for a moment, "Composing a job you should feel comfortable with. You can work at your own home, but report to us three days a week. Monday, Wensday, a nd Friday, to show us what you've been coming up with." He handed Beast Boy a piece of paper, "Its a bit of a long list. You know. Boss Fights. The towns. Caverns. Stuff like that. Think you can handle it?"
Beast Boy looked at the window, "I'm getting paid big bucks to make awesome music for a video game I love? Hell yeah I can handle it. I'll see you Monday Logan!"
Beast Boy literally busted into Titans Tower, "I got the joooooooobbbb!"
Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire all stared at the changling with confusion. Cyborg was the one to speak up, "What job? Working at meaty mart again?"
"Hell no!" Beast Boy shouted.
Raven sighed walking up from behind him, gathering stares from her three friends, "Don't ask, and he got a job as a music composer for some video game." She walked down the hallway to her room to change.
Starefire flew up to Beast Boy, "Oh friend, I am so happy for you. As celebration I will cook the cake for you, and add my very special ingrediant from Tamarain."
Beast Boy stopped her, "No, No Star! No special ingrediants! Just...cake." She nodded and flew towards the Kitchen. Beast Boy sighed sitting at the edge od the couch.
"Music composer?" Robin repeated in question, "For what game?"
"Guild Galaxy."
Cyborg looked at Beast Boy with confusion, "You play RPGs?"
Beast Boy noded, "Hey, if you don't mind, I've got some work to do." He began towards the hallway looking at the copy of Guild Galaxy2 and the areas needing music. Guild Galaxy was one of those term based RPGs. It had two disks, and an extremely long list of eras. Luckily the songs only needed to be around two minutes. Each song had to be different from the next but had to use the same progam.
Before he reached his room, he stopped at Raven's room, standing there for a minute. He was about to knock on the door when it slid open. Raven walked out wearing her usual clothes, "Oh. Raven."
"What is it?" She asked.
"I was wondering if you can help me with this," He said holding up the sheets, "It needs a girl's touch at the romantic parts."
She walked down the hallway, "I'm not into the romantic stuff. Why not ask Starfire."
Beast Boy sighed and walked to his room, and closed the door. He walked over to the computer and switched it on. He half a year to compose almost two hundred songs to perfection. Well he got started on the opening cut-scene.
About four hours later Beast Boy had completed two songs. The song for the opening cut-scene, and the begining area. Both were very welcoming. The theme of all the songs were a cross between heavy metal, pop, and a smooth pop. Very RPGish. He walked out of his room feeling very hungry. Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven all eating dinner.
He sighed angrily noticing that they didn't save him any food. He walked over to the fridge. He didn't feel like eating tofu right now. He wanted to eat a pizza. Too bad they were all gone. He groaned closing the fridge door and walking back towards the hallway and back to his room.
Robin looked at Raven, "Whats wrong with him?"
She shrugged, "Why are you asking me? How should I know?"
Starfire ate her last slice, "Well we did eat all of the pizza. We did not save any for Beast Boy."
Cyborg finished his last pie, "Well he should of been here when we were given' them out! Too bad!" He stood up looking at all the dishes in the sink. They were piled up. He ran over tot he calander, "Oh no! I think its my day!" He sighed in relief, "Oh. Its BB's day. Yo Beast Boy!"
The green changeling stepped out of his room, "What is it?"
"Dishes! Now!"
He flipped Cyborg the middle finger, "You ate all the pizza. You have the energy to do it. I'm not washing anything." He walked back into his room and went back to work.
Robin sighed, " I've never seen Beast Boy so into work before. He usually just does it for the money. I hope all of this doesn't change him."
Starfire was confused, "How can work change Beast Boy?"
Robin shrugged, "Star, I just don't know."
Raven dropped her plate in the sink, "Beast Boy isn't doing this for the money. He loves video games, and he loves music. He's just doing what he likes." With that she walked into her room to meditate.
Robin sighed once more, "You know what? I'll do the dishes. Beast Boy probably has alot of work to do." He groaned looking at the pile of dishes, "On second thought. How about we split it? I do half, and Cyborg you do rhe rest... Cyborg?" Robin cursed under his breath, "Lazy bum."
Starfire flew just above Robin and crossed her legs in the air, "I will do them. Half of them." Robin smiled at his girlfriend and began on the dishes.
Beast Boy's stomach growled again. He cursed at it and continued typing on the computer. He is working on his third song for the world Map. This was a tough one. It had to be a song that would be nice and soft, but it would also have to have to fanfare of the game in it. Different, but the same. Basically, it had to be a remix of the fanfare.
"Ugh..." He groaned rubbing his hair, "I can't think when I'm hungry!"
"Then have some pizza"
He quickly changed into a cat and screeched. Once noticing it was Raven it reverted back to his normal form and sighed in relief, "Oh...Raven. Sorry about the cat thing. Its a revelx."
"Do you want the pizza or not?"
He took it and ate it in one bite, "Thanks Raven. Why are you here?" He asked looking at her. She sighed and sat in the corner, just bearly floating in the air, "Hm?"
"To meditate," She said opening one eye, "And to keep you company, Beast Boy." She gave him a small smile then began miditating, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos...Azarath Metrion Zinthos..."
Beast Boy stared at her with a wide smile. He wish she was his girlfriend. He sighed softly then began at his work, careful not to type to loud, or too fast. He really did like Raven. Well, you could even say...that he loved her.
Author's Note: I know this chapter was kinda long...unless you readers like it. Then I'll make every chapter this long. Yeah. If you haven't already guessed, its a Raven/Beast Boy pairing. Robin and Starfire are hooked up and poor Cyvorg is by himself...but I think I'll find a girl for him.
Hikaru, Signing out.
