A Love Story of Green and Gray
Uggh! Why did Beast boy have to be so annoying? Sure he was my best friend next to Starfire but that didn't mean he could ruin my afternoon with his horrible jokes. I sighed and leaned against the walls and remembered how we became best friends. It was two years ago when I was 16 he was 17 Star and Robin were 18 and Cyborg 19. It was a year after my father had come back and Beast Boy had shot up by at least a foot so he was second tallest to Cyborg and he was standing at six foot. Robin had also shot up to six foot leaving him 1 inch taller than Starfire and 6 taller than me. That's right I was still 5'6 and Star 5'11 meaning I was the shortest. This made me the target of teasing like never before.

"Hey Rae, how's the ground looking, does it need cleaning?" Cyborg joked then he and Robin burst out laughing, more like Cyborg laughed and Robin chuckled. I looked Over at Starfire knowing she would not be laughing but I was wrong, she had a strained smile because of holding in a laugh. I growled at them then noticed something, one laugh was missing, Beast Boy's. Usually he would laugh at this kind of stuff, maybe he left the room .I looked around and saw Beast Boy glaring at our fellow titans. I looked around and walked over to him.
"What's wrong?" I asked in my usual monotone. "I don't like them laughing at your height." He stated bluntly. I took a step back surprised by what he had just said. "Why? Usually you would be laughing with them." I said telling him my thoughts. He then turned to me and looked me in the eye. I stared back and got a shiver up my spine. I just shook it off. "Rae, I don't like them teasing you because I didn't like being teased. I know how you feel." He said whispering the last part. I then said the most intelligent thing I could come up with "Oh."

After that by some unspoken agreement we became friends. In the past two years we had done crazy things for each other. He had tried meditating but when he told me it wasn't his thing I let him stop. I in turn tried being vegetarian for a week. I tried tofu and surprisingly liked at and am now as pure a vegetarian as him.
Flashback
I was meditating in my room when I heard the door open, Beast boy not to talk until I opened my eyes and waited. I settled down on my bed and opened my eyes to see Beast Boy staring at me two inches away from my face."Holy Azar, What in the name of my father are you doing!" I screamed. Beast Boy looked scared for a second then his face lit up like he had an idea. He covered my mouth and started talking.
"So you know how I tried meditating?" he asked "Yes," well now it your turn to try something!" I groaned waiting for the worst. "You have to try being vegetarian for a week!" He said triumphantly "Starting tomorrow." He then said in a commercial voice.
I sighed but knew I had to oblige. I nodded agreeing to his crazy idea. I looked in eye to tell him something but felt that shiver up my spine that I felt when we became friends. I shook it off again and told asked him something very important, "Are you done?" He nodded "Can you take your hand off my mouth then?" I asked He shook his head. I pondered for a second then had an idea I licked his hand, it came off, then I engulfed him in black energy and sent him to a junk yard. "That'll teach you not to cover my mouth again." I said to him though he couldn't hear me. That was Sunday.
End flashback
I started thinking about that week and giggled it was a very hard first few days.
Flashback
Monday: Beast Boy announces to titan's tower that I will be trying the vegetarian lifestyle for the next week. Breakfast: Tea and a waffle after breakfast we arrested a robber from a bank then went out for Pizza. I almost went for pepperoni but caught myself and went for veggie. I smirked a t Cyborg because he and Robin had made a bet whether I would break or not and Cyborg bet against me. Dinner was Beast boys turn to cook and he made tofu stir fry.
Tuesday: Everything like Monday except no announcement. We fought Mad Mod so obviously that took up the whole day. Then went to Pizza for dinner and I didn't even spare a glance at the Pepperoni.
The other days were like that, Wednesday no villains, Thursday Control Freak, Friday Slade, Saturday Plasmus, Sunday Cinderblock. Then that Monday was an interesting one.
We had just got home after chasing Jonny Rancid all over the city. "I'm cooking tonight, and we're having steak!" Cyborg shouted. Beast Boy groaned and surprisingly so I did to.30 minutes later I was staring at my steak and surprisingly didn't feel like eating it. "Hey Raven aren't you going to eat that?" Cyborg asked. I groaned "I think Beast Boy converted me for good." I said showing more emotion than ever before. After I said that Cyborg screamed like a girl. Beast Boy came down and was told what happened and that was how I became a Vegetarian.
Thinking about all those times with my best friend made my anger disappear so I went back to the common room, "Sorry I made you mad Rae, I didn't mean to." The resident changeling Said while keeping his eyes on the video game he and the half Robot were playing. "Find some better jokes." I deadpanned. Cyborg laughed getting distracted "Good one Raven!" He said still laughing. The next thing we knew there was a green six foot 17 year old doing the running man. "Why are you dancing?" I asked cautiously. "I beat Cyborg's High score, we need a party!" Beast Boy shouted. For the first time I fainted out of surprise.
Please review and no flames please!
