Chapter 5 is here. Also from the last review about the title of my story, it IS called "BeatBoy", not "BeastBoy". You'll see why pretty soon. Anyway enjoy.

Beastboy started dancing in the living room with Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire sitting on the couch."Go Beastboy! Go Beastboy! Who has a date! You do! Uh huh!"

"Uh Beastboy," Robin started to say. "Aren't you forgetting about something?"

"Oh yeah! Thanks you guys! You are the coolest!"

"Well, that too. But that's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh...Well then, what is it?"

"Beastboy, you know what people do at a cafe, don't you?" Cyborg asked.

"Drink soda and sing karoake! Right?" (Beastboy holding up a pretend microphone.)

"Uhhh, no," Cyborg and Robin both reply.

"Then what do they do?"

"Well let's see," Starfire replied."First, they drink that brown bitter water called 'coffee'and then they go up on stage and recite 'poems'."

"What? Coffee?! Eeewwwww! And I don't get that poetry stuff," said Beastboy, making a face.

"We knew you wouldn't," Cyborg said. "And you just asked to go with Raven."

"Yeah, so what's the problem?"

"People at those kind of places are not your type," Robin answered. "They are, how you say, serious."

"Serious? What kind of 'serious' are we talking about?"

"We're talking Raven-kind of serious," Cyborg replied.

"You mean one that doesn't play videogames, make jokes, watch movies, or even dance?!"

"Exactly."

"NOOOOOOOOO! This can't be happening! What am I going to do? I'll stick out like a sore thumb!"

"A green, sore thumb. But you don't have to go, you know."

"But that's the point! I want to go!"

"Why?"

"Cause this is my first date with Raven. Sortof."

"Well then, you just have to go with the in-crowd," Robin said.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is acting like the people at the cafe. You know, serious."

"Okay, great!....Uhhhh, how do you act serious?"

"Looks like we need to get started," Cyborg said to Robin.

BeastBoy, Robin, and Starfire sat the table, when Cyborg placed plates of nachos in front of each of them with some coffee.

"Alright BeastBoy," Cyborg began, "the first play is 'table manners'. Pretend we're at the cafe. And yes Beastboy, the cheese is tofu."

"Okay, got it," Beastboy said confidently and took a handful of nachos and shoved it in his mouth.

"Stop, stop, stop! What in the world are you doing?"

"Eating nachos, the right way," Beastboy grinning with cheese dripping from his face. "This is the only good way to eat nachos."

"Okay, this is why we're doing this lesson. First of all, you don't eat like an animal."

"Well, you eat the same way."

"What?! No I don't!"

"You eat hotdogs and hamburgers in one bite!"

"That's because, they're too small."

"Yeah right. Then how come I can see your cheeks bulge out everytime you eat?"

"Guys, do you think we can stick with the lesson," Robin said impatiently."You guys can talk about 'eating like animals' later."

"Alright BeastBoy," Cyborg sighed. "What you need to do, is take one chip at a time and after you eaten the chip, start on the next one. And one minor note: Don't get it all over your face."

"What!? What fun is that, eaten one chip at a time?" BeastBoy protested.

"Do you want to impress Raven at the cafe or not?"

"Alright, you made your point."

"And don't forget to put your pinky up."

"What?! Why's that?"

"Well that's how the sophisticated people eat."

" These are serious people, not sophisticated."

"Serious people are sophisticated. Trust me on this one."

"Since when did you become the professor of manners and stuff?"

"Well, most of it's common sense. Plus I've watched shows on dining."

"Alright fine."

"And one more thing."

"What? More rules?"

"You have to drink coffee."

"Can't I just get a soda or a glass of water at least?"

"The only thing they have there to drink is coffee. Now drink the coffee in front of you."

Beastboy took the mug full of coffee and looked into it with disgust.

"Well, go on," Cyborg urged.

He put the rim of the mug up to his mouth and took a sip. Then with a digusted look on his face, quickly ran over to the kitchen faucet, took a cup of water and started drinking it fast. "Uhg, that's nasty stuff."

"Well you have to get used to it," Cyborg said. "Now let's do it again."

Beastboy still had that digusted look on his face. "I can hardly wait."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright Beastboy, the next step is called poetry," Robin declared. They were sitting on the living room couch while looking up at Robin in front of the television. "If you want to really impress Raven, go up on stage a recite a poem. Show her that you have the 'inner`rythm'. Come up and give it a try."

Beastboy got up while Robin sat back down on the couch with the rest of the Titans. BeastBoy faced his audienced then begin to recite. "2B or not 2B. That is Beastboy's name." Beastboy started luaghing at his own joke while Robin and Cyborg looked at him with sweatdrops.

"Oookaaay," Robin responded and then went up to Beastboy. "Remember Beastboy, you're not a stand-up comedian. You're supposed to recite poetry, not puns."

"But I don't know anything about poetry," Beastboy exclaimed.

Robin handed him a book."Well then, read this. It's a book about poetry. Read it until you get it."

5 minutes later....

"Beastboy, you alright?" Robin asked. Beastboy was dizzy with drool coming out of his mouth.

"Uhh, I think that was a little too much for him," Cyborg suggested."Maybe we should just call it off."

Beast snapped out of it. "No way! I'm not giving up. 'One will is one's way to express the emotions of our inner-self'. "

Cyborg and Robin stared at him with their jaws dropped open. "I think he's getting the hang of it," Cyborg grinned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cyborg, Robin and Starfire were waiting in the living room, while Beastboy was in his room checking for an outfit to wear at the cafe.

"Beastboy is sure taking a long time," Starfire spoke up.

"I don't know. Do you think is a good idea? Cyborg asked Robin. "I don't think he's ready for this."

"What makes you say that?" Robin replied.

"Well, he's not the brightest one in the team."

Just then, the door opened and the Titans turned their heads back to see the new Beastboy. He was wearing all black, wearing sunglasses, and a black artists hat on. "I'll take that as a compliment Cyborg," Beastboy replied, without making a smile.

"Still have your doubts?" Robin said to Cyborg.

"Nope," he replied with a surprised look on his face.

Next chapter coming soon.... Preview: Everything goes well at the cafe. Too well and Raven gets suspicious.
