AUTHOR'S NOTE: Like the story so far? I hope you do, because there is more to come.

CHAPTER 3

SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT(yeah, that's right. Named after the fantastic 80s song, don't mess around with the guy in shades.)

When Beast Boy left the mall he felt more elated and accomplished. Therefore when he entered the tower he saw that everyone was up and freshened. Some titans he could say were recovering from major hangovers; seeing that a few were drinking an abundance of coffee and sporting ice packs.

Entering the ops-room all eyes landed on him.

"Heya everybody!" He crowed.

Dead silence.

"Who's he?" Jinx asked aloud, everyone else just as confused.

Beast Boy chuckled as he realized why no one could barely recognize him. Considering most of them weren't around him on a daily basis.

"It's me," he said taking off his ring revealing his green skin, eyes, and hair. "Beast Boy."

Everyone then resumed what they were doing. As he walked to his room he entered the hallway and walked in on Jericho and Raven exchanging a few words clearly not meant for him to hear. The couple hushed as they realized Beast Boy was there.

"Um hi Rae, hey Jerichoooo."

Raven cleared her throat giving him the hint to leave. However Beast Boy didn't, hiding his jealously he went to where the couple was standing and gave them both a friendly hug.

"Beast Boy," Raven said slowly, obviously not liking the close contact. "Don't touch me."

She therefore used her black magic to pull the Changeling away from her and the blonde mute boy. Throwing him onto the wall. The couple then left the hallway finding privacy elsewhere.

"Ouch."

Beast Boy then transformed into a fly to break his landing. Now back to human form. He then sighed, hurt and defeated he made his way inside his messy room and closed the door.

"Um Beast Boy, is your room always like this?"

The green boy startled accidentally crashed into Kole whom giggled.

"It's okay, it's only me Kole the girl who can turn into crystal."

"Sorry," he said standing up, he held out his hand to help the antlered girl up. "You scared me there for a minute, dude."

Kole giggled taking his hand.

"It's okay."

"I forgot I told you to meet me here," said Beast Boy trying to clean his room. "You can tell my room isn't the cleanest place in the world."

"Yeah," Kole said with a bright smile, "I can see."

She then joined in to help him clean up his room. Kole was used to cleaning considering Gnark was a total slob when it came to eating - she didn't mind cleaning at all. This was nothing to her.

When they were done cleaning his room someone knocked on the door.

"Where do I hide?" Kole asked flandering about in the room looking for cover. Beast Boy searching for a hiding place opened up his now organized closet and told her to hide in there.

"Good thing we cleaned it," remarked Beast Boy thankfully before shutting his closet door.

He then slid open his door open surprised to see Thunder and Lightning standing before him. Thunder looked nervous and optimistic as usual while Lightning, on the other hand had his signature expression of annoyance.

"Green one," Thunder said, giving Lightning looks every now and then. "Have you seen the diamond girl?"

Beast Boy confused didn't know what to say.

"Who's diamond girl?"

Lightning who sighed in frustration answered, "Kole, you know the girl with the pink hair and antlers."

"Dude you could've just said that befo—"

"He said it not me." Lightning glared at his brother whom just shrugged.

"Well, anyway. No dudes I haven't seen her..."

At that precise moment Lightning pointed his finger towards the right of Beast Boy and sent a electro magnetic surge through the closet door opening it. Revealing the girl with pink hair and two antlers on her head that were now flat due to the electrical surge and fear.

"Ouch!"

Kole whom had black soot coating some of her facial features and hands stood up having a coughing fit.

Beast Boy smiled broadly and looked at the brothers.

"She came here by Magic?"

-/-/-

"...And that's why you found her in my closet."

The two brothers stared at the two in disbelief.

"You guys are doing all of this to just get with a dumb boy and a creepy girl?" Lightning said bluntly.

Kole offended, stood up for Jericho.

"He's not dumb," she said with a pout. "He just doesn't have the ability to talk like other people and you."

Lightning smirked.

"And Raven isn't creepy." Beast Boy added. Having a flashback when he called Raven the abrupt word.

"Brother, you can see the green one and diamond girl didn't like what you said."

Thunder had a weary expression on his face now clearly showing that he was uncomfortable.

"Oh, brother!" Lightning exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air. "You know I'm right. Truth wise they're just acting like they're dating to get back at them."

"Are you?" Thunder couldn't help but ask the false couple.

Beast Boy who shrugged looked at Kole and asked, "Are we?"

She sighed in defeat.

"I don't wanna do this to be mean. No, I just wanna have a way to show Jericho what he's missing and a kinda excuse to show him I like him."

"The same thing for Rae, too. We're not try in' to hurt them, I mean what justice does it have if we didn't show them how we felt about them in the first place."

Lightning now in understanding, nodded.

"Alright, I guess we're in on this. Aren't we brother?"

The blue brother nodded, a bright smile smothering his lips.

"Yes."

Kole and Beast Boy both smiled at each other. They both knew telling someone about this was the only way their plan could evolve.

Lights, camera, action!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: DG and I love the characters Thunder and Lightning. I wish they were featured in more fanfics and had had more character development...*sighs sadly*

Anyway, thank you again to whoever follows, faves, and reviews. But if you don't...there is less icing on the cake I guess.
