AN: Underlined words = writing

They were coming. Beast Boy let out a pant. He didn't have many options left. Beast Boy dashed into the park. They couldn't be far behind him now. He needed a disguise and when he passed the fountain, one came to him. He had met that cute dog here not that long ago. Beast Boy shrunk into a green puppy and hid under the fountain in one of it's shadows. When he saw their feet pass him, he let out a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, that was just when he got captured.

I was quickly chasing after my dog again. He had been running towards the park the last time I saw him with his chew toy in his mouth. I held the collar I'd just finished making in my hand. Cujo's tug of war games were starting to become quite the hassle, that and he'd almost shifted forms in front of a human. So, that is why I had to make a collar that would stop him from transforming unless ordered to. It wouldn't hurt him and I'd only make him wear it 'til I either found Dick or moved to the next city.

I looked around confused, usually I could find him easily as he would stop in front of me at some point with his tail wagging. I looked down and spotted Cujo's chew toy on the ground and frowned, something's wrong. I picked the toy up and stuffed it in my pocket. I then walked carefully around the fountain and there I spotted him hiding in the shadows. "Gotcha Cujo!" I shouted with relief and slipped the collar on him. "Now, you won't be causing so much trouble 'til we make our next move," I informed him as I tapped his nose slightly.

Then I rubbed his special place on his stomach and he made that cute 'I'm in heaven' look. I smiled as I started walking back home… no, the Montgomery's place. I had to make my move soon because I was starting to get attached to Jump City.

Cujo raced past the fountain and into the picnic area where he ran right into a blue-cloaked girl. The girl smelled slightly like Danny so he quickly licked her face with his tail wagging. "Beast Boy, off. Now," The girl spoke in monotone. Cujo tilted his head, who?

Cujo barked and Raven stared at the puppy in front of her. "Come on BB, I want to eat some meat, so get off of Raven already," Cyborg growled. First Beast Boy disappears and now he was attacking Raven. Cujo growled softly, but followed the instructions only to jump onto Starfire and lick her face.

Cujo had listened to the shiny man, but then spotted the girl with Danny's eyes and licked her too. Starfire giggled and kept him in her arms. "It seems Beast Boy is having the feeling of dogged," the alien announces while scratching the young puppy's ear. Cujo just pants happily while wagging his tail at hyperactive speeds. Robin narrows his eyes at Cujo, but says nothing. Something was off about Beast Boy and Robin was going to figure out what exactly was wrong with him.

Beast Boy tried again, but still no success. He couldn't shape shift. The boy brought him back to a homeless shelter where he gave him a piece of meat. Meat! Beat Boy stared angrily at the food in front of him. He was hungry, but he was a strict vegetarian. Then all his concentration and glare was broken when laughter broke the air. "What's the problem Cujo? Not green enough for you or are you becoming ultra-recyclo-veg on me?" Danny asked. He then went into the fridge and pulled out a piece of broccoli. Danny held it down low and Beast Boy ran so fast to the hand that you'd think he was possessed.

Danny let out another round of laughter, but then his features got sad. "What do you know, Sam came back to haunt me," Danny whispered. Beast Boy let out a whine. Something was wrong. This boy was obviously hurt over something. So, with that Beast Boy rubbed his head into the boy's still hanging hand. Danny smiled. "Let's take you back to the woods for a game of unrestrained fetch, okay?" Danny asked and Beast Boy couldn't help but bark with happiness at the boy's change in moods.

Cyborg stared at the dog in front of him with astonishment. "That is not Beast Boy!" Cyborg shouted. The green puppy lied happily on the grass eating a fallen hot dog, without a care in the world. The Titans stared at the puppy in question. Yes, Cujo hadn't dared to touch the non-meaty dogs he'd been given. Vegan-styled foods were made for those who couldn't hunt for anything better. Cujo had almost growled at the fake meat he'd been given, but then the real hot dog had fallen and Cujo didn't waste a single second to get it.

Robin stared at the puppy, he knew it was different from Beast Boy and now he spotted what had been bothering him until now. A faded collar rested on the dog's neck. It matched his fur so closely that it was hard to see unless the sun glinted off the metal holding it together. Robin picked the dog up and checked it's tag, which read: Cujo. Don't threaten. Speak Phantom. Whistle.

Robin stared at the tag slightly confused. "What?" Robin mumbled under his breath. What could be simple instructions seemed like a mixed mess of words. Cujo was a name. That was the first thing he understood. His mind was whirling around trying to form a conclusion. He was the adopted son of the greatest detective. He COULD do THIS! The problem was easy, but his brain was looking for the hard answer and that was the problem.

"May I look at the words of tininess, friend Robin?" Starfire asked. Robin nodded absent-mindedly and Starfire snatched the puppy out of the leader's hands. "Cujo. Don't threaten. Speak phantom. Whistle. Okay, tiny letters I'll do what you have asked me. Phantom," Starfire spoke. Then she let out a loud whistle. Cujo's ears perked up and he jumped out of her arms.

Cujo strode forwards and looked back to see the green eyed girl wasn't following him. He let out a few barks and took more steps forward. He repeated this action until the girl followed, and with that he followed his orders.

I picked Cujo up and started to take his collar off and break the statement I had made earlier mainly to myself. That is until I heard the thudding of footsteps heading my way.

AN: I must admit I feel totally evil for giving you guys a cliff hanger for christmas, but hey, it's better than nothing right? So do any of you agree that Robin can some times over think things and miss the simple answer, because I'd love to see what you guys think. Yep, that's right... click that REVIEW button and share your thoughts. (One time deal for any of you haters out there wanting to scream your heads off at me to do so. Just try to avoid curses or as my mother says "Nasty Words.")

ENJOY! :)
