Chapter 2: Old friendship
Beast Boy is done eating, so he pays the bill, grabs the bag with the other's breakfast, and walks out of the building. He sighed and stretched every part of his body.
Beast Boy – I wonder how the others are doing…
As soon as he starts walking, someone came running and tackled him hard enough to knocking him down.
Beast Boy – Hey! Watch your…you?
? – Hi B! Remember me?
It was a 15 year old boy, wearing a Johnny the Homicidal Maniac long sleeve T-shirt and long, black pants with chains all around it. His hair was long, red hair and he had navy blue eyes. The guy helped Beast Boy get up and shook his hand.
Beast Boy – Dude! What was all that about?!
Goth guy – I told you I was goin' to do that someday.
Beast Boy – But where've you been?
Goth guy – Living at the arcade of course.
Beast Boy – You mean…you're still homeless! It's been like three years since we met! And you were already homeless back then!
The guy looked down and took a deep breath. Then, suddenly, he looks at Beast Boy and takes another deep breath.
Goth guy – I wanna join the Teen Titans.
Beast Boy – Say what?! You can't.
Goth guy – Why not?
Beast Boy – One, I don't think that Robin will let ya in that easily. Two, do you have any powers or are REALLY good at something?
Goth guy – Actually, I'm good with machines and got myself some gear that could make Robin pretty happy.
He took up a little box that was lying on the floor and gave it to BB.
Goth guy – Give this to him, and please tell Rob that I wanna have a word with him, deal?
BB opens the box and found the Red X suit inside.
Beast Boy – Dude! YOU'RE THE NEW RED X?!
Goth guy – For a while I was.
(P.O.V. Switch: Robin, Starfire and Raven)
They are still looking for "the new Red X", when they receive a message from Cyborg.
Cyborg – Found him, I'm sending the coordinates to your communicators.
Robin – Thanks Cyborg, Titans, move out!
They followed the coordinates sent by Cyborg and found BB and his friend in no time. Robin stopped his bike and took his helmet off his head. Then Star and Raven stood on the floor.
Robin – Beast Boy? What are you doing here?
Beast Boy – I was getting breakfast, when SOMEONE made me drop it.
He spoke as he stared at "Goth guy".
Goth guy – Sorry, hehehe!
Raven – And you are?
The guy blushed slightly and the words got stuck in his throat.
Goth guy – I…uh…gotta go!
And so he left, running as fast as he could down the street and into a dark alley that was nearby.
Goth guy – (damn it! Why can't I speak to her yet?!)
Raven stared as he ran into the alley.
Raven – Okay, that as weird.
Robin – Beast Boy, where's Red X?
Beast Boy – Right here.
Starfire – You mean that the new Red X is a rectangular box?
Beast Boy – I'll explain what happened on the way home.
He explained everyone what happened.
That night, Beast Boy went to the arcade looking for his friend. He was playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Beast Boy – Yo, Xavier!
"Goth guy" looked at BB and quickly left the game and walked close.
Xavier – What is it?
Beast Boy – What was all that about?
Xavier – What?
Beast Boy – At the restaurant.
Xavier – Oh! Well, I...kinda like…have a crush on…Raven?
Beast Boy – Raven?! Are you nuts?!
Xavier – Maybe, but don't go telling everyone, eh? Or you'll get tackled so hard yer gonna lose an arm!
Beast Boy – Yeah, right.
A short pause followed, and then BB spoke.
Beast Boy – You know, there's gonna be a poem contest in a place she often visits, maybe you can earn some points there.
He made his eyebrows move up and down repeatedly. Then Xavier sighed.
Xavier – Maybe I AM a little nuts after all.
Beast Boy – That means your going.
Xavier – Yeah, but you still owe me a quarter for making me lose in my game, eh?
Beast Boy – WHAT?! Your gonna have to fight ME for that!
Xavier – Bring it on!
They went to the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 game and played 'til the arcade was closed, then they just parted ways…
Xavier – I wonder what I'm gonna do that day…?
