Hey guy's it's me, back with another teen titan's story! This one is much shorter though, it was supposed to be a one shot but it just grew and grew- but nevertheless it is still a short story, would you call a two/three chapter story a two-shot or a three-shot? XD I dunno, but anyway like always, I hope you enjoy my story and I don't own anything but the story D:
Hm, I wonder what to do now…. Stuffing twelve hotdogs in my mouth without Dan the hotdog man noticing… check; Check out all the pretty girls at local pizza joint until they rub my belly and tug at my ears…check; Race around the park stealing flying tennis balls at the tennis court… check.
I guess that's it... I thought I had more of a life than this.
Beast Boy rolled over in the grass, his dark green belly exposed to the sun in his famous canine form. Glancing over toward the middle of the fountain where the center of the park was exposed he watched a couple teenage girls glance his way, giggling then quickly looking away, whispering to themselves.
Can't get enough of the Beast Man huh ladies? He laughed to himself but didn't bother to leave his sun spot. He sighed and closed his eyes, feeling his tail sweep across the grass from pure relaxation. A shadow suddenly dawned on him and he cracked his eyes, only to see an underside of another fellow dog and a sudden warm wetness flowing down his side.
Weird...I don't usually…wait-what the-?
Beast Boy leaped to his paws and away from the dog, which he saw was a terrier mix. A growl formed in his throat and the laughing started up again from the girls nearby the fountain, he gazed over toward them, ears lowered in embarrassment.
I can't believe I just got peed on! And laughed at in the same day!
There was a sensation near his backside and he swerved his head back toward the mutt, realizing he was doing what every dog usually did as a greeting. Snapping his jaws in frustration, the dog veered away from his rear end and raced away with loud yelps. Hearing the girls shushed laugher he glanced toward them, they were not amused by his reaction and turned away, grabbing their backpacks and heading to the nearby trail.
Guess they're no longer my number one fan… Beast Boy sighed and padded through the grass until reaching the abandoned fountain, lifting up on his front paws he gazed at his moving reflection, his eyes swirling in the water. Smashing his paw in the liquid he destroyed his image then leaped inside, rolling around until he felt the urine smell was as good as gone. That was the last thing he needed to do, walk in the titans tower smelling like dog piss.
I'm sure Raven could think of a few good jokes to last her a week... He thought spitefully as he leaped out of the fountain, soaked. It was true the two titans have not been getting alone for a while. Ever since the return trip to Tokyo the teammates had more friction between them than ever. The jokes became more harsh, the judging more apparent, and worst of all he felt her wrath almost every day.
Doesn't matter what I do, she is never happy. He thought with a frown, knowing that none of the titans were around to see his negative reactions. Shaking his pelt he felt the water droplets spray off his coat and he sat down, wondering if he should return to the titans tower or not. The thought of Raven slowly dissipating in his mind; it wandered now to Robin who told them the night before that today, as a day of recognition from Jump City was their day off. He let the sun soak at his pelt again; remembering what each of his friends had said when asked what they were doing on their free time.
"I don't know about ya'll but I'm heading to the auto shop with my baby, she needs a little love..."
"Oh, well Robin and I are going to be doing the going out… isn't that right Robin?" Beast Boy heard a distant, "Yeah" from their leader.
"None of your business..." Beast Boy laughed, "Come on, seriously?" Raven gave an unamused look, "ok, I'm going to Six Flags to ride the Superman coaster…"
Beast Boy pushed away the memories and gazed at the clouds, so what are you going to do today Beast Boy huh? He laughed, well there is just so much to do, I just can't decide! He laughed some more then fell quiet; looking around he found himself to be alone. Yeah…that's it… so much. He sighed and lowered his tail before transforming back into himself, his clothes still damp from the fountain.
Taking a few steps he walked through the grass toward the sidewalk and left the park. Heading down the area he kicked a rock and watched it slide across the ground until falling still on the grass. Gazing up he watched the various rows of beautiful furnished homes pass by his eyes when a noise caught his attention.
It was a cry of an animal in pain. Someone needed his help…. Pausing in his tracks he raced toward the house where the noise came from and paused at the edge of a fence. Transforming into a finch he flittered up to the top of the wooden boards and peered in the yard inside, curiosity swimming in his gut.
There a small puppy lay curled up in the corner, nose tucked under its tail, whimpering apparent. Nothing seemed unusual until a shadow lit across the yard and a young boy racing across the grass, screaming and yelling as if playing in a war scene. He wore a cowboy hat and a toy gun, or so Beast Boy hoped was a toy, held in his hand swinging it around like a lasso between his fingers. Another boy the same age appeared and followed suit.
Beast Boy was about to leave when he heard the child scream, "Stupid come here!"
Beast Boy watched the little brown pup uncurl itself; he immediately noticed the markings of a chocolate lab. The puppy veered away and began to walk the other direction away from the calling boy.
"Stupid dog! Doesn't know how to listen!"
The boy and his friend laughed and raced over to the puppy, the other boy who didn't wear the cowboy hat grabbed the little dog by the back of the neck, lifting him like a weight. "Look Joey! I can lift him up!" the cries of fear from the puppy rang in his ears.
"I wonder how fast he can run, huh Joey?" the kid dropped him to the ground where he held him, the puppy crumpling in a ball of fear.
"I dunno…come on dog, move!" He kicked the little puppy with his tennis shoes, but only received a dim whimper.
"Stupid animal!" He screamed, "Move! Or I'll kill ya!" He laughed, as if it was a joke, but the puppy didn't understand him and only curled up tighter, hiding his face from the two boys. The one with the cowboy hat frowned, and took his gun, pointing toward the chocolate lab.
"I'll count to t-ch-ree" he stuttered and clicked the device, "1-"
Beast Boy's eyes widened in horror and he leaped off of the fence in his bird form, but to his luck the boy didn't know how to count and the next number was, "T-chreee!"
There was a click and a bang as smoke rose from the end of the gun, Beast Boy's stomach made a flip as he transformed into himself, landing in the yard, anger bubbling under his skin. But to his relief he noticed the puppy had moved away from the noise and was unharmed, racing away toward the fence in hopes of escape. It was a toy gun…but boy did that sound real.
The two boys were about to chase the puppy across to the fence when one suddenly noticed his presence in the yard. Turning around, the boy smiled, punching the other boy in the arm until both turned to his direction, surprise and excitement lighting up in their eyes.
"Beast Boy! From Titans tower in my yard! Awesome, you're my hero!" But Beast Boy didn't return their happy smiles he only stared at them, a frown evident on his face.
Beast Boy sneered with a smile, "Think it's fun playing with your dog like that huh?"
"Oh yeah, she loves it when we do this!" He laughed, his friend agreeing with him with a high five.
"I'm sure she does, just as much as you love this…" Beast Boy transformed into T-Rex and unleashed loud scream- globs of spit flying from his mouth and flinging on the two boy's facings which immediately turned to fear. They suddenly scattered, smacking into each other once before racing into the house, screaming out for their mom's. Beast Boy quickly transformed back to his original form and dashed to the edge of the fence where the puppy laid curled against the wood. Kneeling down he scooped up the shivering puppy that was about the size of a toaster and climbed over the fence and across the grassy ally before reaching the sidewalk with a huff. Glancing back he heard with his keen ears, "But mom, he was really here!"
Beast Boy smirked and continued down the sidewalk, the shivering puppy in his arms. Turning down the lane he walked past a few shops before entering a small clothing shop. A woman clad in jeans and a pink top greeted him but paused staring at the brown fur latching on his shirt. She cleared her throat, "Ahem…while I do not mind a titan in my shop…animals…are not tolerated." Beast Boy gazed at her, "Um…excuse me?"
She laughed realizing her mistake, "Oh…well I don't mean you of course…you're not an animal…oh…well not most of the time at least…I mean…" She paused then sighed, "What can I do for you today?"
"Do you have a jacket my size?"
The lady glanced at him with curiosity, "It's the middle of summer…"
"So?"
She glanced at him then pointed her hand toward the back of the store where the clearance lay. He picked out a dark blue jacket and brought it up to the front desk; she stared at him when he dug through his pockets, realizing he had forgotten his wallet. Crap. She waited patiently, eyeing the wiggling puppy in his arms, evident of her disapproval.
"Um…heh…hey…put this on Robin's tab on the tower ok? Thanks!" Taking the jacket he quickly dashed out the door before the woman had any say so. He laughed, thinking of the boy wonders face when he sees the check of 50 dollars. Shifting the puppy to his right arm he slid on the jacket and shifted the weight to his other arm. Pulling up the sleeves he brought the puppy inside the jacket, hiding him from the outside.
"I know it's hot but we'll be in the tower soon." There was a whimper in response and he lowered his ears. The titans tower soon came into sight and transforming back into a pterodactyl he grasped the young dog and flew to the tower, landing in front of the door, transforming back to himself, a shivering, frightened puppy lay in his arms.
"Scared ya huh? Well I'm sure you'll get used to it if you become one of the team!" he laughed as he opened the door, grasping the puppy with one arm.
"Hey what's up- nothing here but me- yup…all alone…by myself…" Beast Boy shut the door and gazed around not seeing anyone and slowly passed by the lounge room and the kitchen. "Yup…just me…-"
"What are you doing back so early?" Raven suddenly appeared from behind the counter of the kitchen and Beast Boy jumped, letting out a startled cry.
"Don't scare me like that!" He cried out with a laugh.
Raven rose an eyebrow, "Kind of hard not to when you're a scaredy cat… "
"What? I don't have a cat, or anything for that matter, why would you say such a thing-"Beast Boy laughed nervously and began to head for the door when suddenly there was a bark from his jacket.
"I never said- wait…what is that?" Raven asked with a glance toward his jacket.
"What's what?" The puppy yipped again and wiggled in his jacket.
"That!"
"Oh this? It's a new jacket you likey?" Beast Boy asked, curling his arm around the lump where the puppy lay.
"I don't care about your latest fashion statement, unless it has the capability to suddenly-bark." Raven lifted her hand and threw he jacket off with her powers, revealing the puppy held in his arms, wiggling for more room.
"A dog! Beast Boy you know Robin doesn't like dogs in the tower, we can barely handle you, and you're toilet trained…for the most part."
"Hey, that only happened once!" He cried out but Raven didn't budge, her eyes revealing everything and he continued, "It was an accident! But anyway, come on Raven, it was abused, you can't make me send her back!"
Raven crossed her arms with doubt, "Beast Boy you think all animals are abused. You tried to free the local zoo animals once…"
"Yeah I would've gotten away with it too if the security tapes didn't catch me…" he muttered sheepishly.
"Yeah or Robin..." Raven agreed with crossed arms then continued, "Come on Beast Boy we need to return her to her family, she looks like a pure bred puppy. That's stealing."
"Stealing?" Beast Boy cried out, "You can't put a price on a dog!"
Raven raised an eyebrow, "Uh-yeah tell that to all the pet stores and shelters around the world." She sighed, noticing the tighter grip he had on the pup. "She could be missed; you don't want to take away their family member do you?"
Beast Boy glanced at the puppy that had evident areas on her neck where the fur was pulled out. Walking toward Raven he lifting the puppy up to where it was eye level with the sorcerous and spoke in a cute accent, "Come on Raven you don't want to send me away… I'm so cute and adorable…"
Raven narrowed her eyes and veered away, reaching for the hot cup of tea nearby on the counter. "Nice try Beast Boy, but she can't stay no matter how cute she is."
Beast Boy lowered the puppy, "Cute she is? I was talking about me!" Raven frowned and he laughed with a shrug, "Kidding!" She turned around and was about to walk away, "You can keep her here until Robin gets back, but you'll have to bring her back home when he does."
Beast Boy lowered his ears and sighed, "Raven, seriously, I can't take her back, look at her neck, look at the missing fur… and look at her paws, see the crusted blood?" He paused as he lifted up her paw; Raven paused herself glanced halfway toward him and the pup.
"A nail was ripped out on this left paw pad." Raven looked into her tea cup listening, "Look at her belly, it's covered with black specks and here is a large bruise…she's been hit…a lot."
Raising his arm he saw her flinch, "See! She flinches; Raven…you can't make me take her back. Please let her stay… can you keep it a secret? Just between you and me?"
Raven sighed and rubbed her temple then gazed over at Beast Boy who stared with pleading eyes, "Come on…please… I won't ask anything else from you today."
Raven contemplated this then let out a small breath, "Ok…I won't tell Robin but-"
"Thank you, thank you!" Beast Boy raced behind the counter, "You won't regret this!" The puppy gazed up toward him then at Raven with curious eyes.
"I hope not…" Beast Boy quickly hugged her before racing toward the doors and disappearing to the other side.
