This chapter took forever to post but I finally managed to get it just right. Hopefully it's not too drawn out or too short. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. Please read and review.

I don't own Teen Titans!


Chapter 3

Beast Boy sighed with frustration. The morning hadn't gone exactly like he had hoped. Robin and Cyborg had found the present before Raven could even get a chance to see what was inside!

He sat at his desk, trying his best to come up with new ideas. Crumpled pieces of paper littered the floor as he tossed away one idea after another.

Despite his constant persistence, he didn't seem to have any luck. What did girls want for Valentine's Day anyway?

Chocolates and love notes don't seem to work…hmm…maybe something different? Beast Boy mused, before hitting his forehead in frustration.

"Oh, what's the point?! She's probably going to hate me anyway…" Beast Boy groaned.

He was about to give up, when he heard a few knocks coming from his door. "Yo Beast Boy! Are you up for some game station? You've been in there all morning!"

The door knob wiggled as Cyborg attempted to open the door. Luckily, the messy floor gave the green boy some time as he frantically hid the poems and plans, he was currently working on.

When the door finally opened, Cyborg walked carefully around the dirty clothes and all sorts of filth to get to his friend. In his hand, he held the latest game. Wait till BB gets a load of this! He thought with a grin.

At first, Cyborg was in high spirits, but when he saw Beast Boy's face he knew something was up. Beast Boy was acting strange…even for him.

"BB? Are you all right? You seem a little… jumpy"

Beast Boy looked up and gave a large smile. "Jumpy? What do you mean jumpy?" He asked, trying his best to seem casual. Cyborg looked doubtfully at him, with an eyebrow raised.

Oh, man Cyborg is so going to figure this out! I better think of something quick! Beast Boy thought. Finally after a few seconds, he remembered an excuse he saw in a movie once.

"I'm just working on some…uh...homework! Yeah. So don't bug me okay? I'll be out in a minute."

"Homework? Beast Boy, you don't even go to school. How could you have homework?" Cyborg laughed.

Beast Boy crossed his arms and stuck his tongue out. "How would you know? There are a lot of things you don't know about me!"

"I know you're up to something Beast Boy. So, stop kidding around. Besides, I might be able to help you win over Raven." Cyborg said with a smirk.

Beast Boy stared at his friend with wide eyes. "What? Who said anything about Raven?" he asked, his voice squeaking a little.

Cyborg bent down to retrieve one of Beast Boy's forgotten notes that lay crumbled on the ground. Once he straightened out the paper, he began to read it.

"Let's see…" Cyborg began dramatically. "Oh, Beautiful Sorceress you stole my heart, you are so close yet so far apart!" When he finished reading it, he chuckled softly. "Hmm...I wonder who that could be?"

By now Beast Boy was blushing furiously and tried to grab the paper from his friend. Cyborg held it out of arms reach until Beast Boy groaned reluctantly.

"What are your demands? I'll do anything, just don't tell her!" Beast Boy protested.

Cyborg looked at him in surprise. "Anything? Man, you must really like her, if you are going this far to please Raven. Why don't you just tell her?"

Beast Boy sighed. "It's complicated. Besides…if she knew she would be angry. I just wanted to cheer her up. I mean I have tried all my best jokes but nothing seems to work!"

"Well, how's this for a deal? I'll keep your secret safe as long as you…help me to get Bumble Bee to go out with me…" Cyborg said, shifting uncomfortably.

"Go out with Bumble Bee? Like on a date?" Beast Boy asked in disbelief.

"No, to go out on a crime fighting mission. Of course I mean a date!" Cyborg exasperated. "Now can you help me or what?"

Beast Boy shrugged. "Dude, No problem. I'll just encourage you to talk to her and it'll be easy."

"Easy? Coming from a guy who can't write poetry to save his life?" Cyborg asked skeptically.

Beast Boy was about to protest, but hung his head. "Yeah, I know…it's terrible. I just can't think of a way to get her to like me. I mean I can talk to her just fine, but every thing I say makes me look like an idiot."

Cyborg chuckled quietly. "Well, BB, no offence, but that must not be too hard to do…" Beast Boy gave him an angry scowl but Cyborg just ignored him.

"See my problem is just the opposite of yours. I know what to say to a girl, but I chicken out before I can say it. So if I help you and you help me…then we can both be happy."

Beast Boy nodded. "So when do we start? I'm kind of having trouble thinking of any gift ideas for her…any suggestions?"

Before Cyborg could reply however, the Titan alarm began ringing loudly through out the tower.

"Titans, we got to move it." Robin called through the doorway.

"All right we're coming!" Cyborg called.

Before they left, Beast Boy turned to his friend. "Make sure you don't tell anyone about this. Not even Robin. If you do, Raven will hate me before I even have a chance to explain!"

Cyborg shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, a deal is a deal. I'll keep my mouth shut if you keep yours shut too. Also, I'm not too worried. Worse comes to worse, I can always find a way to use this information as blackmail."

Beast Boy narrowed his eyes, but didn't answer. He was already out the door heading towards Raven, Starfire and Robin.
