The Argument

The Titans were at their favorite pizzeria, arguing over what their order should be. These were usually started by Beast Boy's vegan diet. "Why does it matter anyway?" Terra asked, annoyed when he once again insisted on leaving the meat off. The changeling looked at her. "I've been most of those animals!" he said.

Their argument caught the attention of a group of three girls sitting at a nearby table. One girl plucked up her courage and got up, walking over to the superheroes. "Hey, sorry to bother you," she said. The Titans looked up. The girl looked at Beast Boy. "This is gonna sound really weird, but my friends and I are in an argument right now, and you might be able to end it."

"Uh…how?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well…we're sort of arguing about you," she said.

"No, she's insisting on something that would never happen," said another one of the girls, standing up.

"It will happen," the first girl said forcefully, turning back to her companion.

"I'm telling you, you're way off!"

"How? I'm stating the facts; you're talking about some sick fantasy that won't happen!"

"It'll happen, I swear! You're just too blind to see it!"

"You're going off hunches, I'm going off facts!"

"Dude!" Beast Boy shouted, breaking up the argument and standing up. "What are you guys even talking about?" The first girl looked back at him. "BBxTerra vs. BBxRae," she said simply. Beast Boy, Terra, and Raven all looked at each other, then back at the girls. "What in the world is that?" Terra asked.

"It's what fans of you guys came up with to call you and Beast Boy or him and Raven," said the third girl nonchalantly. Beast Boy and Terra blushed furiously. Raven rolled her eyes and went back to her book, hiding her own slight blush. Cyborg smirked. "C'mon B," he said. "Tell 'em."

Beast Boy's blush spread from his ears to his neck. Ever since Terra had come back on the team, he'd been battling with whether or not he should tell her how he felt about her. Cyborg hadn't missed a beat.

"Look, grass stain," he told him. "You've been through tougher things than this, so just stop being a wuss and tell her." Beast Boy hunched down, wishing he could dissolve. "Is that enough proof for you?" the BBxTerra girl asked. Please let it be enough, pleeeaase let it be enough, Beast Boy thought.

"What is it?" Terra asked, looking at him. Everything else vanished. He wanted to tell her so much, but he just couldn't speak.

Suddenly, there was an explosion nearby and the Titans watched as the Hive-5 scurried out of a bank. "Titans, go!" Robin shouted immediately. Beast Boy leapt up, glad to be off the hook. He could tell her when the time was right.
