Challenge Numbuh One:
A fic consisting of a thunderstorm, a bath, and a kiss.
Get on with the story!
Okay, okay. Anyway, like I said, it was night. A storm was brewing outside, and Raven wasn't scared. She was never scared. After all, she was the pristine daughter of Trigon the Terrible!
Well, unfortunately for her, Beast Boy was.
"Raven..."
Raven rolled her eyes, glad that Beast Boy couldn't see her. What was he doing in her room anyway? Didn't he know it was off limits? She turned over in her bed, hoping that Beast Boy would take a hint and leave her alone.
Unfortunately for her, this is Beast Boy we are talking about.
"Raven!"
Beast Boy shuddered. Thunderstorms always made him edgy and nervous. He felt the urge to crawl under the covers and whimper until Robin threw a birdarang at him (it had happened before, believe me). Unfortunately, his bed was filled with white roses. He knew he shouldn't have used cheat codes against Cyborg during Kung Fu Master Three, but it was too late now. As revenge, he had filled his beds with white roses.
Do I have to mention that the thorns of white roses really, really hurt? Especially when you're not expecting it?
"RAVEN!"
Raven groaned and sat up. "WHAT is it Beast Boy?!"
"Umm...uh...did you notice that it's going to rain soon?" Beast Boy smiled, hoping that Raven did mangle him too much.
"Beast Boy..." Raven growled menacingly. But luckily for Beast Boy, before canine teeth could start flying the phone rang.
"Get. Off."
"Ehehe..." Beast Boy quickly climbed down from his place in Raven's arms where he had leaped into, scared. Raven picked up the reciever.
"Since when did you have a phone Raven?"
"Since I had to start ordering out alone."
"Since when did you have to start ordering out?"
"Since some Titans couldn't make up their mind on what pizza to order."
"Oh. Hehe."
Raven rolled her eyes once more and spoke into the phone.
"Hello?"
Silence.
"Who is it?"
Raven didn't say a word, just handed the phone over to him and sat on her bed, rubbing her temples.
Beast Boy listened for a moment, and then gasped in surprise.
"No Frontiers! I love that song!"
Beast Boy started to sing along in a offkey voice.
"I'm gonna need some asprin." Raven groaned, holding her head.
Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder and Beast Boy found himself in Raven's arms again, chattering in fright.
"Beast Boy?"
"Y-y-yes R-Raven?"
"Down."
Beast Boy obediantly got off of Raven, only to bury himself under the covers of Raven's bed. She sighed. Now she was going to be picking off green hairs off of her sheets for weeks. This cannot go on, she decided. Standing up, she dragged Beast Boy out of the covers and made her way to the hall.
"W-where are we g-going R-Raven?" Beast Boy whimpered.
"We are going to the roof. You have to get over your fear of storms."
Beast Boy sqeaked and tried to go back to Raven's room, which was steadily getting further and further away.
"No way am I going to go up to the roof in this weather!"
"You are, otherwise I shall personally inform Cyborg of all the little revenge tactics I've planned out for you."
Beast Boy paused in his struggle, comtemplating the consequenses. Raven stopped also, looking over at her green teammate.
"Are you going to come quietly now?"
Beast Boy made up his mind. Death by fright was much more safer than death by Raven.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go! Oh, and Raven..." he said in his sweetest of tones. "Would this be considered as a...date?"
She rolled her eyes. "Dream on Beast Boy."
He just smiled infuriatingly and skipped down the hall. "We're on a daate, we're on a daate..." he sang.
Raven had half a mind to smack him good, but smirked instead, glad that her plan had worked. Not only would going up to roof stop Beast Boy from interrupting her sleep, it would also increase the chances of Beast Boy being struck by lightning. She congratulated herself as the came to the stairs which lead up to the roof.
"Glad you see it my way."
They reached the door to the roof and flung it open. It was raining, and hard. This was definately not your ordinary storm, Raven observed after a minute or two. There was a weird smell in the air, and the raindrops felt slightly sticky. In fact, the raindrops weren't raindrops at all. There were...
"Beast Boy?"
He was cowering in the stairwell. Raven sighed and pushed him in front of her. He started to shake uncontrollably.
"Do you see anything wrong with this storm?"
He shrunk back from the roof and tried to escape.
"Well, yeah. I'm here!"
She rolled her eyes and corrected her question.
"With the raindrops dummy."
He stopped shaking and held his hand out. A large drop fell into his hand and he brought it up for closer observation.
"Well, they're bigger than regular raindrops, they're sticky, and they smell like..." he sniffed, and turned to stare at her. "...kiwi..."
She nodded. "Beast Boy, I think we are in the middle of a storm that is raining kiwi shampoo."
His mouth dropped open, which resulted in shampoo being poured in. He gagged and spit it out.
"Sure tastes like it."
Suddenly, he gasped and grabbed her wrist. She winced. He was cutting off her circulation!
"Beast Boy, what-"
"T-there." he whispered, a slight tremor in his voice. "Over there. A shadow." He squeezed her wrist tighter and she attempted to dislodge him. She succeeded and ripped her wrist from his grasp.
"Well then, let's go." She started forward but was stopped by Beast Boy's hands on her shoulder.
"Are you crazy?! We don't know what it could be!"
She yanked her shoulders from his hands and looked at the shadow. It's pretty small, she thought, and it probably wouldn't be able to hurt us. Besides, she reflected confidently, I am Trigon the Terrible's daughter! No shadow is going to scare me! Dragging Beast Boy with her, she started walking towards the shadow.
"Excuse me.." she started to say, but stopped, her jaw dropping. Beast Boy poked his head out from behind her.
"What is it...?" he trailed off as he caught a glimpse of the creature.
"A...a squirrel." Raven stated in disbelief. And indeed, fellow readers, it was a squirrel. A squirrel with a pink polka dotted headcap showering in a white bathtub. In the kiwi shampoo rain.
The squirrel's head jerked up upon hearing Raven. It chattered angrily, and drew the curtain around it. "Do you mind?"
Raven could only stare at the little creature in confusement. A TALKING squirrel. This was just not her day.
Beast Boy was apparently not bothered at all by this talking squirrel talking a bath. "Sorry. We thought you were some sort of villain or something." he told it cheerfully.
The squirrel frowned and objected. "A villain? I am no such villian! But maybe you have heard of me? I am the famous Berisilo (pronounced bur-REs-ill-oh)!"
"What are you famous for?" Beast Boy asked curiously.
The squirrel scowled. "I am the best yo-yoer in the squirrel world! Surely you have heard of me!"
Raven shook her head, having got over her shock. "No. In case you haven't noticed, we aren't squirrels. Well, actually, Beast Boy here can turn into one...and he has the brains of one." she added under her breath.
Luckily, neither one of them heard her. Berisilo looked Raven up and down.
"Hey, you. What's your name? You're pretty cute for a human."
Raven growled. "First off, I am not full human. I am the daughter of Trigon the Fierce, and you would do well to remember it! Second of all, my name is Raven. Third of all, no way am I doing anything even REMOTELY romantic with you."
The squirrel looked disappointed for a moment, but brighted up considerably. "Feisty huh? Well, I can take care of that." And with that, Berisilo jumped up and kissed her on the cheek.
Raven looked like she wanted to bury it alive, but closed her eyes and fainted instead. Berisilo laughed. "Good night, daughter of Trigon." It put her on a trolley of sorts (which it had whipped out of nowhere) and started to wheel here to the stairs.
"Hey, wait! Where are you taking her?" Beast Boy yelled to the squirrel, running to catch up with it. Berisilo turned around, smiling evily.
"I'm taking her out on a date." it said matter-of-factly.
Beast Boy tackled it. "No way! She's on a date with ME!" he cried.
The two wrestled. "Nu-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Yeah-huh, otherwise I'll turn into a hawk and call to the other ones to eat you!" Beast Boy threatened.
The squirrel stopped and hurriedly began to back up. "O-okay, take her then! I don't want any devil anyway!" And with that it ran off into the night, falling off of the tower and landing in the lake , where it was found and eaten by Aqualad for his seventeenth birthday barbeque.
Beast Boy dragged the sleeping Raven inside. Deciding that she couldn't sleep on the trolley, he pushed her into his room, where he deposited her onto one of his beds, forgetting that there were white roses on them. He walked into her room and decided to sleep on her bed. And so, he slept hard and soundly on Raven's bed, until the morning where Raven screamed at both him and Cyborg and came down with a cold.
The End
