"I'm gonna get you, Cy!" Beast Boy sang out. He was currently furiously tapping his right thumb to a red accelerator button. The finish line was in view. Cyborg was to his immediate left. The finish line was drawing closer.
"Oh no you don't, you little grass stain!" Cyborg chuckled, thrusting his joystick to his left, then veering straight. Three... Two… One… "Yeah! Who's the boss? Cyborg! Who's number one? Cyborg! Woo! I won, you little grass stain!"
"Dude!" Beast Boy fumed. "You cheated. Not fair." Beast Boy set his controller down on the table. He turned off the game station and turned on his heels toward the kitchen.
"Too scared that you're going to loose again?" Cyborg taunted. Beast Boy turned around and stuck his tongue out, then heading back towards the kitchen. "Aw, you know I'm just kidding, right BB?"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Beast Boy accepted. He then turned to Cyborg and grinned. "I'm just kind of hungry. Playing video games and being awesome takes a lot of energy, you know?" Beast Boy stood up as tall as he could. Realizing he wasn't looking very large, he took a chair from the kitchen table and stood on top of it. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Because I, the amazing Beast Man, are the Tofu King!"
"You got that right." Cyborg snickered.
"Oh, and by the way, Beast Boy," Raven said, emphasizing the Boy part, "The correct word is the word is, not are." Raven walked through the door, obviously to get a teapot and make some of her herbal tea.
Beast Boy's shoulders slumped in defeat. He knew that she was right, like usual. He jumped off of the chair, making his journey towards the fridge to make a tofu sandwich. Cyborg smirked. '
"You know," Cyborg whispered, "Now would be a great time to ask her out." Beast Boy immediately tensed up. Cyborg laughed at his immediate change in behavior. Raven turned around and raised her eyebrows. Raven's reaction only made Cyborg laugh even harder. Not paying attention to Beast Boy, Cyborg did not notice the smirk that grazed it's way across his face.
"I guess I could say the same for you and Bumblebee," Beast Boy whispered back, immediately shutting Cyborg right up.
"Whatever." Raven seethed, taking her cup of tea and making her way back to her room. Beast Boy turned his attention back at the fridge, gripping the handle and opening the door. Cyborg sat up, knowing what was going to happen when Beast Boy looked in the fridge not to find what he was looking for.
"Hey, uh, Cyborg? Do you know what happened to my tofu?" Beast Boy innocently asked. Looking at the grin on Cyborg's face, he instantly knew what happened. "Aw, man! Why didn't I think of that earlier! Why didn't I ever just pitch your bacon!" Now, Cyborg was shocked. That was not the reaction he was expecting.
"Yeah, that's right, I threw away all of your tofu!" Cyborg uncertainly said.
"It cost me twenty dollars, too. And I'm broke. That's kind of why I'm broke," Beast Boy ended with a chuckle. Cyborg then smirked. He had an idea.
"Hey BB, how about a bet?" Cyborg insisted.
"Hmm" Beast Boy contemplated. "What kind of a bet?"
"A bet," Cyborg began, "for twenty dollars."
"Cy," Beast Boy whined, "I'm broke. Hi Robin!" Robin entered the room to come and get a notebook, obviously out of it because he didn't even flinch when Beast Boy said his name.
"Just listen. Which ever one of us can get a girl to go out with us first, wins," Cyborg stated. "Wait. I'm not done. You have to get a date with a certain girl whose name rhymes with Slaven."
"Slade? Did someone say Slade? Where is he? I knew he would come back. I just knew it. Should I call in backup? We're going to get him good." Robin said before Cyborg interrupted.
"No, Robin, Slade is not here. Nobody knows where he is, if he even is still alive. Relax." Cyborg consoled.
"Oh." Robin meekly said before exiting out of the doors.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think he was OCD." Beast Boy said.
"He is." Cyborg replied. "Anyways, whoever can get the girl to go out with them without having themselves sent to another dimension," at this, Beast Boy gave Cyborg a nervous chuckle, "is the winner of twenty dollars from the other person. Deal?"
"Are you crazy?" Beast Boy shouted. "There is no way she likes me back."
"Fine, then. No deal." Cyborg knew from past experience in the betting world that Beast Boy would never back down. Cyborg had won the battle. Now, there was only one problem left to resolve…
"Fine, but you have to have your date with Bumblebee." Beast Boy crossed his arms over his chest. "And we cannot mention this to anyone. Then it's a deal with me."
'Did he just read my mind?' Cyborg thought.
"Uh, how am I ever going to get a date with Bumblebee?" Cyborg asked.
"It's probably easier than getting a date with Raven." Beast boy responded, raising his eyebrow.
"That's very true. It's a deal." Cyborg said, extending out his mechanical arm for Beast Boy to shake. "Now finish making that sandwich so that I can kick your green butt on the game station!"
"However you want to lie to yourself, Cy. Do you want some soda? I'm getting some snacks now." Beast Boy said, getting the soda out of the fridge and setting it next to the chips he had just gotten out.
"Yeah, that'd be pretty sweet." Cyborg said. "Thanks, little dude. I'll be over there on the couch pimpin' my ride, if you need me." Cyborg said, making his way to the couch.
"Oh and Cyborg?" Beast Boy mentioned.
"Yeah, Beast Boy?" Cyborg turned around.
"I am so going to win this bet." Beast Boy smiled. Cyborg snorted.
"Not on my watch."
The beginning of possibly the end... especially for Beast Boy. I hope this is up to standards. It was the fastest chapter I've ever written and I'm feeling good about this story. Review!
