Beast Boy sighed as he stared down at the offending papers that lay on the dark wooden desk the others had bought him some time ago. Being a superhero was more difficult than just fighting crime…
There was paperwork.
And boy was there a lot of it! The city wasn't a place of never-ending money although some may suspect otherwise. When you crashed through the wall of that supermarket or knocked down that nice estate's shrubbery they got pissed. That's where the paperwork came in.
The Titans—or Robin—had decided to split the work up. Each Titan had received an amount that was quite equal with any of the others, give or take. No matter how much they explained it to him he still believed he had more than the others…
He picked up the first sheet and groaned. Jump City Sewer Management was the headline of the paper and Beast Boy would bet anything that it had to do with Plasmus.
He sighed heavily and sunk into his chair. He hated paperwork. He loathed, detested, abhorred, despised, and just plain hated paperwork. And he didn't even know what half those words meant but he got the general gist of the message.
"Die damn you, die!" He shouted and stabbed his erasable pen through the innocent papers. He slumped down and his head hit the table with a thump.
A yell from the room down the hall—Raven's room—rang down the corridor. "Shut up!"
He groaned and was about to reply, however, in his flouncing he tipped his chair over and was sent hurdling to the ground. He tumbled over backwards and dizzily tried to separate the ceiling from the floor in his distorted vision.
A small pencil bounced off his head.
Quizzically he picked up the pencil and sat up in a daze. Inspired he snatched up the back of a candy wrapped and began doodling small images on it. He snickered as he sketched out a blob that he thought bared some resemblance to Raven. Another blob and Cyborg had been drawn on the crinkled wrapped. Robin was tough and Beast Boy scratched him out, not bothering to use the eraser. He was doodling Starfire when a pale hand reached down and plucked the paper from him.
Two amethyst eyes scanned the paper, her brow became furrowed, and Beast Boy gulped. He didn't want Raven to realize he could draw her so well—although he couldn't, he was just delusional—because he'd been staring at her. Although, in truth, it'd be surprising if Raven even figured out which one was actually her.
"Is that…me?" She asked pointing a cape wearing scribble with a frowning face.
"Uh……no?" He asked. Yes, he asked.
She raised an eyebrow. "Right." She paused. "Do you need help?"
"Huh?" He asked, thoroughly confused.
She merely pointed to the stack of papers on his desk. "I heard a crash and came to see if you somehow killed yourself." He gave her a sheepish smile at her remark. "I was close."
"Heh…yeah…um…so… help me please?" He whined over dramatically.
"Fine…" She straightened the chair and sat down as she began sorting through the papers. She paused. "Beast Boy?"
"Yes." He asked as he wondered what she wanted him to do while she worked.
"Why is this one sticky?"
He sweat dropped. "Well, ya see, that's an interesting story." He began. She raised both eyebrows this time. "It all began with this sock that had somehow fell into some vanilla ice cream I left in here-,"
"Pass."
"But you haven't heard about the pineapples yet!"
"I said, pass."
…Owari…

Disclaimer: I don't own…much, really. Heh. All I own is this plot and a carton of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream flavored One Sweet Whirled. Man that stuff's good! Coffee and caramel in one great cup? Yuuuuum.
Thought of the day: You know it's spring when the birds stay up later and get up earlier than you do. And you go to High School. My School starts at 7:30 yet I get up at 5:20 to go to a bus at 6:25… :Falls over:. Damn you evil schools and your entrapment!
I like this one. This whole 'paperwork' thing will become a running joke in my fanfics… However, I didn't entirely think it up on my own. Nokoru from Clamp Gakuen Tanteidan always has paperwork. Yet he has much more than a deskful. You literally CANNOT see his desk after a while. So frickin' funny!
:Sigh: I wish I could use smileys again…what happened to those?
Also I am once again advertising for my website! Woot! …Okay. It's not my website. It's just my Deviant Art account with all meh art related stuffs. Heh.
Oh, and if you have spare time in your busy schedules I demand you go read Goover's fic…scratch that she doesn't have any Teen Titans fan fiction… Erm… And read Milante's fanfic too. Tis good. More drama than mine but still good. Security cameras exploding due to runaway swords and such. REVIEW IT! I COMAND YOU!
…Okay, got that out of my system… Azumanga Diaoh rocks… Anyone else read that?
……AGH! The spelling errors! THEY BURN! THEY BURN! …I'm done.
