I await my chance. The one day where the ownership rights to Teen Titans is
up for grabs. Then I'll strike. Like a cobra. A cobra waiting to strike for
the rights to Teen Titans. Yeah - that's just how I'll strike. But until
that day comes... I don't own Teen Titans. If anyone out there cares, I do
own the Fanfic "The Arbitrarily Random Misadventures of Uncle Chan" and
would like people to review it. *Sad puppy face*
More information at: Boy woke up late. Noontime, about. He had those two dates today. This was the third day in a row he wasn't going to get any "me" time. This could be very hazardous on a little green guy's psyche. He just prayed that he remembered Aqualad's advice. "Don't mess up their names!" Good advice. He went downstairs to fix himself a tofu breakfast. The Teen Titans were all out of Teen Tofu. Beast Boy was just plain not happy about that, so he decided to become a bird and fly to the store. Not a raven bird, not a robin bird, but just a bird. On his way to the store, he caught a glimpse of Aqualad walking into a building and heard him talking to someone. "Eh - probably not important." He thought to himself. Right now he wanted tofu - the ultimate preparation food when dealing with two teenage girls.
The store had gone empty on tofu. Hmmmm... That was especially odd. What kind of store within 20 miles of Beast Boy ran out of tofu? Not one he was ever shopping at again, that's for sure. He left in a harumph and vowed not to return. The next three stores he went to didn't have any tofu either. This was shaping up to be an absolutely wonderful day for Beast Boy. The shape-shifter walked dejectedly back home.
Walking into Titans Tower with your head held down, especially when you were Beast Boy, was not an option when Terra was concerned. She immediately gave him a big squeeze and told him how anxious she was waiting for dinner tonight. BB looked around. "O-kay. Raven's probably meditating again - or thinking about me." he thought to himself. He was probably right. Terra didn't care though. As long as she was clutching Beast Boy, she really didn't care about anything. Not even the yelling coming from the next room. Apparently, Robin had broken one of Starfire's grebnacks. That wasn't going to end up pretty no matter how it played out.
Terra wanted to play a game with Beast Boy. It was the photo shoot game. Not particularly Beast Boy's favorite, but since he liked Terra, he was willing to go along with it. She got pictures of her in his arms, with his arms encircling her waist, her sitting on his lap, Starfire blowing Robin through several walls with her eye beams, and one of her giving Beast Boy a big kiss. Cyborg really was going to get a lot of blackmail out of this camera.
It was 2:30 now. Beast Boy was going to need someone to distract Terra whilst he took Raven to the movies. He asked Aqualad, but the fish wonder said he was busy. Cyborg volunteered to do it, if Beast Boy could find a way to get Raven to the movies. BB said he'd do his best. Cyborg also wanted several pictures from the date - man, he was vicious. Beast Boy agreed anyway - what's a little blackmail in exchange for your right to remain in the gene pool? It was settled then - Beast Boy would leave with Raven at 4:00 to make sure it wasn't sold out, and Cyborg would put his "Operation Distract Terra" plan into action. 4:00 came in a hurry. Beast Boy called Raven down from her room as Cyborg slowly led Terra into the weight room to distract her. Raven came down in her usual outfit (sans hood) and walked out the door. A green cheetah waited for her outside the door, and, figuring it was Beast Boy, hopped aboard.
It wasn't. It was Slade's robo-Beast-Boy. Raven found herself traveling at speeds she didn't exactly like down the freeway towards Slade's headquarters. Beast Boy couldn't figure out where she went, so he put on his tracking device. She was already at the movie theatre. Weird. BB turned into his own cheetah self and went to the movies.
It turned out Raven was able to get off the robot at the movie theatre, after she broke its head open trying to knock Beast Boy back to reality. At first, she thought she had killed the guy, but when she came to the realization it was a robot, everything was fine. BB arrived, saw the green pile of metal, and whimpered. "Man - is THAT what she's gonna do to me when she finds out?" Raven heard that one, and looked at him sternly. "You didn't forget the money for the tickets, did you?" Beast Boy was very relieved. "Oh - no - no - I have that right here!" He gave her the money, and they walked hand in hand into the showing of their movie.
The movie was rather poor. It was like Pirates of the Caribbean, except with no pirates, and it didn't take place in the Caribbean. Raven spent more time gazing at BB than she did watching the movie. Beast Boy shared his popcorn, thankful he was still alive. Then something caught his eye. He tapped Raven on the shoulder, who immediately leaned in expecting affection. Instead, he pointed up at the front row - where there was someone who looked particularly like Aqualad. And who was the blonde girl with him? Was that? No - it was even worse. It was that girl whose dress Robin had! What was Aqualad doing with her?! Raven's eyes grew rather large, and Beast Boy grabbed on to her, cowering. Sure, she didn't think it was cowering, but that's what it was. One "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos" later, and Aqualad was sitting next to Beast Boy on the opposite side of Raven.
Beast Boy frowned. "I thought you said you were busy!" Aqualad nodded. "I was - er... am! I found this girl's prom dress, and she wanted it back. The reward was a ticket to the movies!" Raven showed disapproval. "Yeah, sure it was - we're going to go through your stuff when we get home, and if there's no prom dress, you're toast." Aqualad grimaced. Maybe he should have picked a different movie theatre...
Robin frowned. Something was missing from his evidence room. No one should ever go in Robin's evidence room. The notice was even posted on the door. He didn't know what it was, but he knew something was missing. Who could have taken it? He had a couple guesses. The most obvious choice was Starfire, as revenge for breaking her grebnack - er... snow globe - this morning. First, though, he had to figure out what was missing. Then, he saw it. A pink sparkle from Aquaman's pack in the next room. The prom dress! Robin removed it from Aqualad's pack and put it back in the evidence room, where it belonged. He put an extra lock on it, just to make sure.
BB and Raven watched the remainder of the movie in peace, even though it was pretty bad. Aqualad jokingly remarked that there was more making out from them then there was in the movie. They feverishly denied it, and they had a right. They didn't do anything like that. Raven certainly didn't remember doing anything like that. She liked BB, sure, but making out was a little too much personal contact for her to deal with. And BB? He liked making out, but not when people were watching. It just didn't suit him. Aqualad then took out several pictures of BB and Raven from the last date - Cyborg had added different backgrounds to make it look like they were together everywhere! After just one "Azarath" there was a giant Aqualad- shaped hole in the ceiling. Raven apologized to Beast Boy, once again saying that personal contact wasn't her thing. She let him wrap his arm around her for a minute, gave him a hug, and exited with her magic. Beast Boy now had to get back to the tower and get dressed for his dinner date before anything else ridiculous happened.
Oh, something ridiculous was bound to happen. Slade had just learned of Beast Boy's two-timing ways, and he planned to do something about it. First, however, he had also just learned about Starfire's wonderful grebnacks, and wanted to do something about them first. He sent Plasmus to retrieve them all.
Beast Boy returned to the tower about 45 minutes before the date began. He quickly got dressed, and no sooner had he buttoned his last button did the Titans Alarm ring. It was Plasmus, somewhere in Titans Tower. Robin ordered the team to split up. He and Starfire would check the basement. Cyborg and Aqualad would check the training areas. That left Beast Boy, Terra, and Raven to check everyone's rooms. Robin didn't know about the situation, right? Then how could he keep doing this to him? Oh well - it didn't matter - the Titans needed to stop Plasmus before anything else could be done.
Plasmus was first spotted by Terra. Sure enough, he had his slimy mitts on one of Starfire's precious snow globes. She began to pick up rocks to crush him, but Raven began controlling the rocks. The two girls were fighting over who was gonna stop Plasmus, probably to impress Beast Boy. BB calmly handled the situation by telling the girls he would do it himself. He turned into a rhinoceros and gored Plasmus into the basement, where he landed on Robin and Starfire and covered Terra and Raven with a nasty purple goo. Plasmus stood up and left. He wasn't going to risk taking those Grebnacks again, no matter what Slade did to him.
Beast Boy's suit was rather dirty. Thankfully for him, Raven went to clean the dirt off her clothes before she noticed he even had a suit. Terra smiled at him after Raven walked out. "Hey, BB, maybe you can help me clean up before dinner?" Beast Boy stepped back. "Whoa whoa whoa... what?!" That was probably the last thing Beast Boy expected to hear out of Terra other than "I'm dumping you for Raven." That would really, really suck. BB respectfully declined, further proving to Terra that he was a man... er... boy... er... Beast Boy of strong moral fiber. That's what she wanted to know.
There was one last thing that Beast Boy had to do before he went with Terra. He walked into the main room, down the hall, and into Aqualad's room. Aqualad was busy searching fervently through his bag for the dress. It wasn't there. BB notified Raven of this development, and she sent him through a wall. Beast Boy and Terra left for their dinner date about 10 minutes late. Oh well. At least Cyborg was driving them this time. He brought his girlfriend along too. Terra smiled and nudged up against BB. They were in familiar company, and she was happy. She started to purr until Cyborg candidly told her that it was "freakin' creeping" him out. Beast Boy turned into a kitty just to irritate Cyborg. When they arrived at the restaurant, Cyborg asked Beast Boy to stay behind for a minute. "BB, if you do that cat thing again, guess who gets to see the pictures of you and Raven at the movies!" Wow - Cy was good at blackmail.
The waiter of the restaurant must have recognized Beast Boy, but not his date, because when Beast Boy was supposed to receive his salad, he received the spaghetti. Again. Terra was not going to let this opportunity slip by, and she basically force-fed BB the noodles until the cliché kissing scene occurred. First a resounding "awwwww" went by, and then the telltale click of a camera shutter. Beast Boy looked at Cyborg. "You shouldn't have taken that picture, Cy." he then turned his gaze to Terra. "And you should only be feeding yourself, Rav... er... Terra!" Uh oh... awkward silence time.
"OH CRAP!" Beast Boy told himself all day not to do that, so naturally, he did it. Terra had a very unpleasant look about her. "You didn't just call me what I think you did, did you?" Beast Boy had to fess up. "Yeah - but only because the only other time I was here, I was here with her." Cyborg nearly swallowed his meatball whole. Was he going to tell Terra the deal? Right here and right now? No. "Yeah - well... um... Cyborg and I made this bet - if I could eat more tofu dogs in 2 minutes than he could eat real hot dogs, he'd have to take Raven to dinner, and well... I lost..." Beast Boy felt like a real jerk after saying that, but he probably deserved to. Cyborg regained his ability to breathe. Thankfully, Terra found this a good enough explanation, and she retorted by saying "Well, if I want to put things in your mouth, you'll let me, Starfire!" This elicited silence through the entire restaurant.
The rest of the dinner was basically the gang playing around. Cyborg began to do impressions of all the Titans, and his Slade impression was so off, BB squirted milk out his nose AND ears. Beast Boy then volunteered to do his own Robin. "Star? What do you mean I can't touch your grebnacks? They're just there - waiting to be caressed by loving hands!" This caused the entire adult populace of the restaurant to shield their children's ears. It didn't really matter to them that Robin had actually said that once.
Raven was getting worried. It was 10:00, and there was no Beast Boy. She had expected him to tuck her in by now. She didn't really need it, but she enjoyed the attention nonetheless, even if she hated to admit it. She could hear voices from the next room, but they weren't Beast Boy's. Something about Robin being a Clorbag-Varbler-Nelk for playing with snow globes - or something. Maybe he had Hoagied Phinbar Okarins? She had no idea. She just wished for BB to make his appearance.
The ride back home in the car was laid back. Cyborg was just glad to have his new-T-car for more than one ride. However, it hadn't survived the Star test yet. That would wait. Right now, he was content just driving the speed limit and getting pictures of Terra attempting to be affectionate with Beast Boy in the back. Beast Boy was refusing the advances, however, because it was getting late and he wanted to sleep. Sleep was always the most important thing. He began to doze off, and eventually fell asleep in Terra's lap. Cyborg got another photo.
Beast Boy woke from his slumber as the vehicle pulled into Titans Tower. Raven had long been asleep, and Terra was getting sleepy too. The group all went up to bed, except Cyborg, who had to help Robin fix an Aqualad-shaped hole in the roof. Beast Boy gave Terra her goodnight kiss, and then made sure Raven was sleeping fine. She was, and he made himself give one to her too.
He felt really bad about the entire situation. He had to stop toying with their emotions - and his own, sooner or later. How could he even face the rest of the team when he couldn't face himself? He decided it was time to tell everything to Robin, so he went downstairs to look for him. There he was, patching up the hole in the room. BB turned into a bird and fetched tools from ground level for him, being as helpful as he could. As soon as the hole was fully patched up, Aqualad landed - through a new hole. It was time to patch that one up.
After Aqualad's re-entry had been fixed, the four guys sat on the couch playing Ultra Advertisement Wars. Cyborg claimed victory, but Robin could see that Beast Boy wasn't giving his all. Something was bothering the poor guy, and he was gonna figure it out. Beast Boy looked at him. "Um... Robin - I've got this problem. The other two guys know about it, but you don't yet and I figure that you'd give the best advice on it." Robin nodded, not for agreement, but in waiting of what the problem was. All Beast Boy could get out was, "It's really embarrassing."
Robin thought for a minute. "Okay. Let me guess. You know that Cyborg has his girlfriend, and Aqualad has his friend down under the sea. You know about me and Star, and you're having problems with Terra and Raven." Beast Boy was about to speak up, but Robin continued. "They both like you, and you like them both - however, you can't choose which one you like more, and somehow have ended up taking both on dates for the past 3 days - right?" Beast Boy gave a look of shock. "How do you do that?" Cyborg answered for Robin, in his best Robin voice. "I got some Miss Cleo blood in me, dawg!" It wasn't a very good Robin voice.
Aqualad and Cyborg sat on the edge of the couch waiting for Robin's advice. Before he could give it, however, Beast Boy and Robin both fell asleep on the couch. Cyborg and Aqualad just played Ninja Kawaii Ecchi Storm 7 all night (I remembered its name!). Cyborg once again claimed victory.
The next day was the famed girls' day out, in which the guys got to stay at home while the girls maxed out their credit cards. Raven and Terra continued to not disclose their relationships with Beast Boy to anyone, and for that, he was grateful. He was so glad to get his "me" time after 3 days that he didn't know what to do with it. He walked downstairs to prepare a tofu lunch, and remembered that he was out of tofu. Oh well - time to see if the store had anything. They did this time - what a relief. He wouldn't have to turn into a monkey and scare the customers.
Starfire smiled. She, Raven, and Terra had bought lots of stuff, and at a premium cost. They decided to hide what each got for the others, though, as three very special celebrations were approaching rapidly. Starfire really hoped Robin remembered them. "Friends Raven and Terra?" she started, as she always did. "Do you think you will like my gifts to you?" Raven and Terra sighed. She asked this every time the three of them went out anywhere, even if she didn't buy any gifts. It was a Tamaran thing, they supposed.
Robin did remember the celebrations. It was Beast Boy who didn't. Robin approached him, and began discussing the situation again. He wouldn't tell Beast Boy which one to pick, probably to make his job harder. He did, however, make sure that Beast Boy remembered the celebrations Starfire was thinking of. Starfire's birthday was two weeks away. Terra's, however, was six days away, and Raven's was but four. Naturally, BB had completely forgotten. He needed to get three awesome presents - but since he had gone on so many dates in the past couple of days, he was broke? Where was he to get money?
Raven, Terra, and Starfire were done shopping about 8 hours ahead of schedule, though the cards still managed to get maxed out. When they returned to the Tower, Beast Boy was gone, presumably with Aqualad to the mall to buy gifts - or find work to get money to buy gifts. It looked like Beast Boy was gonna have to sell himself to the zoo for a day to get the money. "Just wonderful" he thought to himself. These next two weeks were gonna stink.
What will happen to Beast Boy at the zoo? Can he get enough money to buy Terra and Raven gifts? Will he choose between Raven and Terra? How much can he get for Kitten's prom dress? Find out in the next chapter of Beast Boy's Double Trouble!

A green cheetah waited for her outside the door, and, figuring it was Beast Boy, hopped aboard.

Something was bothering the poor guy, and he was gonna figure it out. Beast Boy looked at him. "Um... Robin - I've got this problem. The other two guys know about it, but you don't yet and I figure that you'd give the best advice on it." Robin nodded, not for agreement, but in waiting of what the problem was. All Beast Boy could get out was, "It's really embarrassing."
Robin thought for a minute. "Okay. Let me guess. You know that Cyborg has his girlfriend, and Aqualad has his friend down under the sea. You know about me and Star, and you're having problems with Terra and Raven." Beast Boy was about to speak up, but Robin continued. "They both like you, and you like them both - however, you can't choose which one you like more, and somehow have ended up taking both on dates for the past 3 days - right?" Beast Boy gave a look of shock. "How do you do that?" Cyborg answered for Robin, in his best Robin voice. "I got some Miss Cleo blood in me, dawg!" It wasn't a very good Robin voice.
Aqualad and Cyborg sat on the edge of the couch waiting for Robin's advice. Before he could give it, however, Beast Boy and Robin both fell asleep on the couch. Cyborg and Aqualad just played Ninja Kawaii Ecchi Storm 7 all night (I remembered its name!). Cyborg once again claimed victory.
The next day was the famed girls' day out, in which the guys got to stay at home while the girls maxed out their credit cards. Raven and Terra continued to not disclose their relationships with Beast Boy to anyone, and for that, he was grateful. He was so glad to get his "me" time after 3 days that he didn't know what to do with it. He walked downstairs to prepare a tofu lunch, and remembered that he was out of tofu. Oh well - time to see if the store had anything. They did this time - what a relief. He wouldn't have to turn into a monkey and scare the customers.
Starfire smiled. She, Raven, and Terra had bought lots of stuff, and at a premium cost. They decided to hide what each got for the others, though, as three very special celebrations were approaching rapidly. Starfire really hoped Robin remembered them. "Friends Raven and Terra?" she started, as she always did. "Do you think you will like my gifts to you?" Raven and Terra sighed. She asked this every time the three of them went out anywhere, even if she didn't buy any gifts. It was a Tamaran thing, they supposed.
Robin did remember the celebrations. It was Beast Boy who didn't. Robin approached him, and began discussing the situation again. He wouldn't tell Beast Boy which one to pick, probably to make his job harder. He did, however, make sure that Beast Boy remembered the celebrations Starfire was thinking of. Starfire's birthday was two weeks away. Terra's, however, was six days away, and Raven's was but four. Naturally, BB had completely forgotten. He needed to get three awesome presents - but since he had gone on so many dates in the past couple of days, he was broke? Where was he to get money?
Raven, Terra, and Starfire were done shopping about 8 hours ahead of schedule, though the cards still managed to get maxed out. When they returned to the Tower, Beast Boy was gone, presumably with Aqualad to the mall to buy gifts - or find work to get money to buy gifts. It looked like Beast Boy was gonna have to sell himself to the zoo for a day to get the money. "Just wonderful" he thought to himself. These next two weeks were gonna stink.
What will happen to Beast Boy at the zoo? Can he get enough money to buy Terra and Raven gifts? Will he choose between Raven and Terra? How much can he get for Kitten's prom dress? Find out in the next chapter of Beast Boy's Double Trouble!
