Chapter Summary:

Raven plays hide and seek, Beast Boy gets sad, Star gets angry and then happy, Cy gets asshole-like, Robin gets air to breathe, and Mary gets a scraped, bruised knee. :P How fun! n.n (xD, Lex) Oh! And some dogs kiss. -hinthint-

As Raven trampled down the hall, scurrying away from sight, her 'master' groaned, rubbing his forehead.

"Why can't she just be a NORMAL dog?" he whined to himself, scuffing the floor with his heavy metal boots. "I mean, normal dogs just piss, shit, and fuck. They don't deny it, and they don't try NOT to do it . . ."

Starfire stormed in, with Robin's arm draped around her waist. She pointed a finger at Beast Boy, eyes narrowing. "There. Were. NO. FIREWORKS!" she hissed as her eyes began to illuminate a bright green.

Robin gulped, attempting to restrain his girlfriend. "Star, sweetie, calm down! We can g-go buy . . . fireworks from the store! Who friggin' cares if it's illegal? All for you, baby-cakes." To punctuate how much he cared, he nuzzled his head under her chin, sending his girlfriend purring.

BB scoffed, rolling his eyes, and folded his arms. Yet he continued to watch.

Then, he blinked. "Wait, why am I watching this crap?" the Changeling exited the Main Room, shoving his hands into his pockets. "If I can just find her, maybe I can tie her up to a tree somehow . . ." he thought aloud.

Raven was busy tugging the sheets off of Beast Boy's bed, giggling as she 'worked' in secret. Her fluffy tail was wagging about a mile a minute, as she smirked.

Her 'owner' stepped down the halls slowly, looking inside each and every bedroom. "Damn it . . . come on, Raven! Come here, Ray! COME ON, RAVEY-POO!"

The doggy froze, mid-tearing-of-fabric, and her eyes glazed over.

'Shit . . .' she thought, and to her surprise, it echoed!

'Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit . . .'

Her brow furrowed, and she attempted to dig a hole into the ground as an escape route. But, to her disappointment, her puppy claws weren't sharp enough to rip through a metallic floor covered with a green plushy carpet.

"THERE you are!" came the mock sickening sweet voice of Beast Boy.

Raven froze, and slowly turned around. "Hehe . . ." One thought traced through her mind . . . (Okay, it traced through her mind roughly 42.6 times, but you get it, right?) 'Escape'.

The demon dog narrowed her eyes, smirking up at Beast Boy, who bent over to scoop her up into his arms.

Snarling and hissing and snapping, she darted out of the room between his legs, leaving a crouching green changeling.

He blinked in surprise, regaining his composure and turning around. "Now, where'd you go?"

No reply came, and he sweat-dropped, sighing. "Rae, come on! Anyone could just choose to randomly attempt to 'take over' the city! I need you out here, so I know you're safe just in ca -"

The alarm rang out through-out the tower, and the green elf blinked once again at the entire irony. "Raven! That's it! Come out, RIGHT now!" he demanded.

His little puppy was curled into a ball in the bath-tub, burrowing her head into her crotch, (a/n: EWWW XDD), as she hid under a purple bath-towel. She didn't bother heeding the call of BB, for she was COMFY, God damn it!

Beast Boy gave up, throwing his arms up in the air. "I give up," he said exasperatedly, exiting his bedroom with boxers sticking to the back of his boots.

Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were already waiting for him, tapping their feet outside the tower.

"It's Adonis," Robin explained, eyebrows furrowed. "C'mon! We have to get moving before he gets away!"

The Changeling nodded in understanding, but turned back around to see the tower. "Please be safe . . ." he prayed to Raven.

The Tamaranian Starfire set a hand on his shoulder, smiling assuringly. "Even though there were NOT any fireworks, I believe that Raven does not hate you. I do not believe that we have any reason to doubt her capability to 'control' herself."

"Well, yeah but-"

"But nothing!" The alien flew off, as well as Robin, (A/N: WITH HIS NIFTY NEW…WHATEVERTHOSEARECALLED), and of course Cyborg.

BB clenched his fists. "I'll get that bastard . . ." and he flew off.

The problem?

HE FLEW INTO A TREEEEEEEEEEE! n.n

-

At the crime scene, when BB finally got there, it was too late.

But dogs were all over the place, howling and barking and scratching their shoulder blades.

Robin scratched the top of his head. "Uhm . . ."

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow, walking over to the dogs and looking at them. "These aren't normal breeds," he mused towards the other titans.

"Whaddaya mean?" Cy asked, stepping over a small 'toy' dog, and standing behind his comrade.

"Well, DUH, this dog has BLUE fur!" the green teen cried, folding his arms. "AND green eyes. Dogs don't have green eyes, or green fur."

He moved on towards the others around the area. He pointed at a red dog with yellow stripes. "Hmmm . . . does that look natural or familiar to you?" he asked.

Cy shrugged, scratching his chin as he observed. "Looks like Clifford the Big . . . yet SMALL, dog, after getting 'involved' with mustard."

At the mentioning of the yellow condiment, Starfire's eyes lit up. "M-Mustard?"

Everyone paled, backing away slowly while the dogs followed suit.

"So anyway," Robin said, looking over at Beast Boy. "You're saying that . . ."

"I think Adonis is trying to turn our population into dogs!" The Changeling cried.

"That's ridiculous," Cy pointed out with a scoff. "What kinda psycho wants a city full of mangy, smelly animals?"

"Because dogs are easy to control and train!" Beast Boy retorted, and then he thought of Raven. "At least . . . most of 'em are," he added in a murmur.

"Right. So what? Why doesn't he just turn everyone into beasts?" The android folded his arms across his broad chest. His green friend paused, mouth opened as if he were going to say something but got frozen in the process.

Their leader shrugged. "Anything's possible. After killer gloves in Mumbo's hat, and possessed cows from that whole newfu fad, I'm not so certain that Beast Boy's wrong . . ."

"See?" BB pointed out. "I'm not ALWAYS wrong!"

Cy rolled his human eye. "The percentage of times that you ARENT wrong is a whopping, humongaloid 4."

The green teen shook his head in protest. "No it's not. You guys just don't believe me! If we don't take action or SOMETHING, our city's population will turn into CANINES!"

Robin rolled his eyes. "Calm down, calm down . . ."

"Calm down?" Beast Boy cried. "I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTSSS! OW! AND MY BRAIN HURTS!" He rubbed his forehead, storming off.

The others looked at each-other in an awkward silence, until a dog bark tore through it.

-

"Stupid rotten no goods . . ." Beast Boy muttered as he kicked open the door, stuffing his hands into his pockets once more. He sighed.

Why didn't his team-mates ever trust him when he had a very logical theory? It just made him sick with anger, that he wanted to kick them all repeatedly in the head, and listen to the hollow noises.

As he entered the Main Room and sat on the couch, he closed his eyes and laid his head back. He grunted and groaned, and ran his fingers through his hair as a 'calmer'.

'It always worked for Robin . . .' he thought.

And who crawled up beside him on the sofa? CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUSSSSSS!

Uhhh . . . -coughcough- I mean . . .

RAAAAVENNNNNNNN!

Beast Boy blinked, opening his eyes and gazing down with surprise at the puppy who was sitting beside him, panting.

"Oh, hey Rae," he greeted her with a fake smile. But Raven cleared her throat.

"I have pushed away all nonsensical canine ravings back into my mind," she said dryly, rubbing her head up against his arm. "Now, tell me what's wrong."

"Eh?" Beast Boy stroked her back gently.

"Tell me what's wrong," Raven repeated casually. "I can tell something's wrong." Her paw scratched right beneath her ear, as if pointing towards her noggin. "My doggy senses are tingling all over."

"Oh, heh-heh," the Changeling morphed into a green dog, same breed as Raven, with the same markings as her, (Except different colors).

She raised a doggy eyebrow as his head laid itself on top of hers. She sighed, snuggling closer to his doggy chest.

"It's nothing, really," Beast Boy said sadly, his slightly raspy voice cracking.

"Yes, it is," Raven retorted monotonously, straining to keep all emotion out of her voice.

"It's just that . . . I know what Adonis is planning, right? At least . . . I'm pretty sure I do . . . BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" BB blinked, and continued. "The point is, no one cares. I'm just an idiot green Changeling. My theories and thoughts don't matter . . ."

"Yes, they do," she replied, washing the back of her paw.

"How do you know?" he asked miserably.

"Because, as weird as this may sound, I don't hate you. We're friends, remember?" she reminded him.

He smiled distantly. "Yeah . . . I do."

She licked his cheek. "Good."

"Hey . . ." He blushed. (Yes, I officially say dogs can blush) "You KNOW that what you just did was the canine equivalent of a kiss on the cheek, right?"

"So?" she asked innocently.

Beast Boy smiled, pressing his nose to hers and swiping his tongue across her doggy lips.

a/N: What is Adonis planning? Okay, so we already know . . . kinda. But will we EVER find out the truth? And was what BB and Rae just did a canine equivalent of a kiss on the lips? Will Cyborg ever stop being an ass to BB? Will the Titans (Excluding Rae) ever understand that BB CAN be right sometimes?

I dunno, and neither do you. -P
