Prompt: Manuscript

Word Count: 1360

Hey. Beast Boy here. I'm going to be talking about my girlfriend, Raven. Never in a million years would I have imagined that we, of all people, would end up together. But here we are. So me writing a best-selling book wouldn't be too much of a long shot, right?

You know how some dudes give chicks stereotypes. But my Raven breaks all the rules. I've always known from the start. I just knew, she was going to be special somehow. She's...different.

1 - Women love to shop.

This is definitely not true. Raven? The only time she actually comes with us to the mall is so that she can get some 'real food', as she puts it. What, is my tofu not good enough for her?

"Oh, Raven! We must visit the mall of shopping today!"

"No, Starfire."

"But I insist! I shall even do the treating of you-"

"I really don't want to go shopping, Starfire."

"Hey, Rae, it would be pretty sweet if you ditched that leotard/cape combo of yours for something se-"

Raven growled, fixing her sharp gaze on Beast Boy. "Is there something wrong with what I wear every day, Beast Boy?"

"Not at all, dear!" Beast Boy squeaked, backing away slowly.

"You'd better hope not," Raven muttered, returning to her previous position. Starfire clasped her hands, beaming. "I-"

"I'm still not going shopping, Starfire."

2 - Women need to cry.

...

Do I have to explain this one? Man, Raven don't do the crying stuff. She makes others cry.

"How come I've never seen you cry, Rae-Rae?"

Raven sighed and put her cup of tea down. "Let me explain this to you slowly."

She grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "Me? I'm the daughter of a demon, which makes me a half-demon. Do you follow me?" She said every word slowly, straining each syllable as if she was talking to a kindergartener. "Half-demons don't cry. Demons don't cry. I will kill you if you don't leave in one minute. Got that?"

Beast Boy nodded sharply, turning on his heel for a quick exit. "Yes, sir!"

"It's Raven," she snapped. "Not Rae-Rae, sir, madam, or whatever stupid moniker you can think of."

3 - Women are never wrong. Apologizing is the man's responsibility.

Er, no, wait. Raven probably is never wrong. Right. So, let's just skip this one.

4 - Women do not know anything about cars.

Raven spends more time than I do with Cyborg working on the T-Car. She and Star are probably the most knowledgeable on mechanics, right after Cy himself.

"Raven, Cyborg is in need of our assistance. The battery of the car seems to be functional, but it refuses to start still. I suggested he adjust the switch of the solonoid on the engine of the car, but he asked me to seek your advice."

Raven tapped her chin for a moment before getting up and leading Starfire to the garage. "Tell him he might want to make sure all of the wires connect to the frame ground wire, positive starter wire and the yellow solonoid wire. Have him do the easy things like clean and tighten both battery terminals."

"Oh, yes, for the starter solonoid is bolted to the starter itself and is buried near the left front cross member," Starfire said, nodding in understanding.

"Right."

"And tell him to, uh, make the hubcaps nice and shiny!" Beast Boy called out, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

Raven snickered. "I'll do that, Beast Boy."

5 - If it's not Valentine's Day and you see a man in a flower shop, you can probably start up a
conversation by asking, "What did you do?"

Man, Raven doesn't need flowers to know that I'm sorry. She's the kind of dudet who just takes the facts and moves on. Another reason why I love her. There's nothing wrong with trying to cheer her up a bit with flowers. Any girl will love flowers for no occasion at all.

Raven opened her eyes and yawned. Fumbling around for the light switch, she rubbed her eyes.

"Come in," she said sleepily.

"Hey, Rae," Beast Boy greeted softly. He kissed her on the cheek, and handed her a bouquet of roses.

Raven cocked an eyebrow, forgetting all hope of resuming her slumber. "What are these for, Beast Boy?"

"Nothing much. Just thought you'd like 'em," Beast Boy shrugged nonchalantly, smiling at Raven casually.

Raven rolled her eyes playfully and gave Beast Boy a peck on the lips. "You're sweet."

"Tell me something I don't know," Beast Boy grinned.

"Shut up," Raven snapped, barely stifling a laugh herself.

6 - Women don't care much for a sense of humor in a guy if they could have a handsome one instead. (You don't see women trampling over Tom Cruise to get to Beast Boy, do ya?)

Of course you do! Aside from my killer good looks, Raven really fell for my jokes. I'm the green funny clown! No, seriously, that's my username on the instant messaging servers.

"Hey, Raven! Knock-knock!"

Raven rolled her eyes and floated over to the kitchen for some tea. Beast Boy cleared his throat and spoke in a high voice, trying to imitate Raven. Keyword here being, 'trying'.

"Who's there, my handsome changeling?"

"Yule!" Beast Boy replied, speaking in his normal tone.

"Yule who, my robust Beast Man?"

Raven rolled her eyes, fighting the urge to snicker at the ridiculous display in front of her, and chose instead to focus on the boiling water.

"Yule never know until you open the door!" Beast Boy said loudly, laughing. He kissed Raven on the forehead. "I like a captive audience like you, Rae."

Raven smiled a little. Beast Boy was such a dork. It was kind of...cute.

"Uh, Raven?" Robin popped his head over her shoulder. "You're spilling the tea."

7 - Women are weaker than men.

While we're pretty much all strong in our own rights, some things are better done by Rae and Star.

"Ready to give up, Star?"

"Most definitely..." Starfire sighed, loosening her grip on Robin's hand. Robin smirked and took the opportunity. Starfire quickly slammed her right hand to the left, taking down Robin's own arm with it. "...I was about to say, most definitely not, Robin." She smiled at him sweetly. "Care for another round?"

Robin smiled weakly, doing a couple of arm exercises. "It's BB and Raven's turn."

"This is pointless," Raven droned, sitting down opposite Beast Boy.

"But you so want to do it, dontcha, Rae?" Beast Boy teased, grinning.

Raven raised her eyes to the sky, but said nothing. She kind of did want to.

"3..." Cyborg counted down, staying next to Robin and Starfire on the couch. "2...1...Arm wrestle!"

Raven maintained her position, never once moving to the left nor to the right. Beast Boy tried bringing down Raven's arm, attacking it from every way that arm wrestling rules would allow, all for naught. Raven yawned, and she brought down Beast Boy's arm easily.

"Did I forget to mention the monks of Azarath taught me how to play this?" Raven smiled. "It's a fascinating game; who knew that it required as much tactic and control as meditation?"

Beast Boy whimpered. "You forgot."

I guess that's it. So, if you've been paying attention, my Raven's no ordinary girl. Of course, she's got that whole 'portal between her dad's demon dimension and earth' thing going on, and she's half-demoness, and she's got wicked powers, and she's an empath, but, even if under all that, she's still a girl, she's no ordinary girl.

I'm sick and tired, honestly, of people calling her a freak show or something like that. In her defense, she's not weird. She's just different.

And I love her for that.

Beast Boy is my boyfriend, as much as I hate to admit it. But he's not just any normal guy. He breaks all of the standards of manhood. It's me, Raven. And I want to show you all how different Beast Boy really is.

1 - Real men eat meat.

Don't even get me started on that tofu of his.

A/N: Mhm. So, what did you guys think? Muahaha. In the guys' defense, they just chose the wrong things to challenge the girls with. Aliens and demons are definitely going to be different.

Review, please? :)
