Beast Boy galloped across the countryside. Literally galloping,
because he'd turned himself into a horse. He paused and morphed back into
his normal form.
"STAAAAAAARFIIIIIIIIIRE!" he yelled.
No answer. He shrugged and turned back into a horse.
"Whoa! What was that?!" a voice shouted.
"Starfire?" Beast Boy called, now in his normal form. "Is that you?"
"Do I look like Starfire?" the guy asked. He looked like an average human, not like the zany fairy-tale folk who inhabited the kingdom. Although he was wearing a huge fedora, giant sunglasses, and a nametag that read "Hello My Name Is Cybertoy00," he was still less weird than the rest of them. Of course, the name "Cybertoy00" was a little too long for one name tag, so he had three across his chest. It now read "Hello My Name Is Cyber Hello My Name Is Toy Hello My Name Is 00."
"So what is your name?" Beast Boy asked, squinting at the badly lettered name tags on the guy's chest.
He sighed patiently. "Cyber-toy-00," he said, pointing to his name tags. However, he pointed backwards, confusing Beast Boy even more. "Just call me Cy."
"But I already know a Cy..." Beast Boy stammered.
"FINE THEN!" Cybertoy00 shouted. "CALL ME CURLY!!"
"But your hair's not curly..."
"CALL ME LARRY!!"
"But you're not a cucumber with buck teeth..."
"CALL ME MOE!"
"I don't have anymore comebacks, so I suppose I can call you Moe."
"Good, 'cause I'm outta Stooges."
They stopped and stared at each other.
"So, Moe-" Beast Boy started to say.
His new friend Moe collapsed to the ground, howling with laughter. "That rhymed!" he hooted.
"Dude, even I didn't think that was funny," Beast Boy said.
"Oh. Sorry."
"WELL, Moe, I have a question for you."
"And maybe I have an answer," Moe shot back.
"Have you seen a tan girl, about yea high, long red hair, flashy green eyes, and the tallest purple boots you've ever seen?" Beast Boy asked.
"No, I have not seen Starfire," Moe said.
"Oh." Beast Boy paused. "Well, have you seen a girl with long blonde hair, big pretty eyes, real skinny?"
"Yeah! I've seen her, Beast Boy! Come with me!!" Moe started scampering off.
"HOLD IT!" Beast Boy shouted.
Moe looked around. "Hold what?" he asked.
"It's a- never mind. How did you know I was Beast Boy and that I was looking for Starfire?" Beast Boy demanded.
Moe ticked the reasons off on his fingers. "Number one, I watch Teen Titans. Number two, I've been reading the story. Number three, I saw you changed from a boy into a horse right before my very eyes. What was I supposed to call you? Pony Boy just sounds wrong, and so did Horse Boy and Creature Boy."
"Oh. Okaaay," Beast Boy said. "Well, can you take me to Grimbsy?"
"Yeah! She's just right over there!" Moe said, skipping away. Beast Boy turned into a gazelle to follow him.
Sure enough, a pretty little blonde girl was sitting in the middle of a forest clearing, singing happily and weaving a daisy crown.
"Wait a minute. You said Grimsby?" Moe said. "Um..."
"Grimsby!" Beast Boy hollered, now in his own body.
The girl turned around and smiled. He realized with a start that the girl's eyes were the softest, brightest, prettiest blue he had ever seen. "I'm not Grimsby," she giggled. "I'm Terra."
"Ooh...pwetty..." Beast Boy drooled.
"Um...dude...um..." Moe stammered. "This is more than a little unnerving."

Meanwhile, Cyborg was also scouring the countryside for Starfire. He leaned against a tower. "Hm...if I was an evil but cute purple fairy, what fairy tale would I hide Starfire in?" he mused.
"Rapunfire, Rapunfire, let down your long hair!!" a voice called.
"Yup, that's the one." Cyborg said. He strode over and tapped the person climbing the rope of long red hair on the shoulder. "Hey, Blackfire, is your sister up there?"
Blackfire dangled upside down. "I'm not Blackfire!" she said. "I am Witchfire! And the maiden Rapunfire is not my sister! She is my hostage!" Blackfire- eh, Witchfire laughed evilly and clambered up the rope of hair.
"Wait for it...wait for it..." Cyborg murmured to himself.
"I'll be back for you, my pretty- and your little puppet, too!" Witchfire cackled. She flew out of the tower, needing no broom, of course, since she was a Tamoran and could fly naturally.
Cyborg cleared his throat. "Rapunfire, Rapunfire, let down your long hair," he droned. "OW!"
"Sorry," Rapunfire called. "I don't aim well." Cyborg pushed the heavy braid off of his head and started climbing. "Ow...ow...ow...ow...this is very painful!" Cyborg gripped the windowsill and swung over. Rapunfire was sitting on a little wooden chair, playing with her little puppet Starfire doll, left over from their run-in with the Puppet Master. "Who are you?" she asked him. "You are not Witchfire!"
"No," he said. "I'm Cyborg, and I'm here to rescue you, Starfire." He paused. "Well, actually, to get your real true love to rescue you."
"Who is Starfire, and what is a true love?" she asked. "I have not left this tower in all my life. The only person I've ever seen is Witchfire." Cyborg stared at her, mouth agape. "Would you like to play puppets with me?"
Author's Note: Yeah...this is when it gets really into my own pairings. For me...Robin x Starfire, Beast Boy x Terra, and Cyborg x Raven. See, if it wasn't for Cyborg and Starfire, I would be all for a Robin x Raven pairing. But, they're there, and so...if enough people beg of me, I'll write a Robin x Raven fic...
