Notes: Ok, this is all about finding BB a name. It's supposed to be a funny chapter that allows you to get to know the other characters better. Oh, and there's a reason why Aqua acts like Raven. It'll have a point later in the story. Once again, pretend the 3 gang members have little to no idea who the Teen Titans are.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I only own Aqua, Shad, and Blackjack. I also don't own anything related to the musical 'Annie', which you will soon find out. Yeah, and no offense if you like 'Annie'. I am performing in it, so I do have to suffer through all the songs every day. I also don't own anything related to Garfield.
Chapter 2
"My...name...is," Beast Boy said, stalling for time, but no name came to him. He nervously looked over at the others.
"Do you want us to think of a nickname for you," Blackjack asked, smirking in BB's direction, "Too scared to tell your real name?"
"Of course not," Beast Boy told him, a look of annoyance on his face. He went silent suddenly, tapping his pointer fingers together, "Yeah, could ya?"
"How about Animal," Shad suggested, "That would be so cool!"
"It's already taken," Aqua told him, rolling his eyes, "Besides, that's lame."
"How about Ani for short," Shad asked, and then took a deep breath, "Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya tomorrow!" Aqua shrieked in terror and covered her ears quickly, her eyes shutting in pain.
"Make him stop," she ordered Blackjack. With a simple snap of the fingers, Shad stopped singing. Aqua opened her eyes and looked up. She sighed and removed her hands from her ears, "Thank you...I hate that song. It's way too optimistic."
"You're only a day a-" Shad sang out, but Aqua quickly slammed her hand over his mouth. She turned to BB, "Now you know exactly why we call him Idiot." Beast Boy looked at her, looking a little frightened.
"Does this happen a lot around here," he asked, just as Aqua shrieked, this time because Shad had decided to use her hand for his drool disposal.
"You are so immature," she told Shad and then looked at BB, "And yes, this happens more often than you'd know. No thanks to Idiot here."
"Hey-," Shad yelled, only to be cut off. Aqua had used his shirt for a towel.
"You two can fight later," Blackjack told them, "Right now, let's get our new member a name." There was silence as everyone thought for a moment.
"How about Mold," Shad asked. He shrugged as everyone looked at him, "What, he is green. Mold is green. It makes sense. He could be slimy, you never know. Who wants to touch him?"
"The only thing slimy here is you," Aqua replied, "And I don't have to touch you to know that. Maybe we should have nicknamed you Mold."
"I always thought I was more of a plain old, boring green," Beast Boy spoke up, "I never thought 'moldy'."
"You're not moldy green," Aqua told him, "And you're not slimy. Believe me, I've lived here with Shad and Blackjack long enough to know." She glared at the blond, who appeared completely oblivious to her presence.
"Uh, thanks, I guess" BB said.
"It's a compliment," Blackjack spoke up, causing BB to turn around quickly to face him, looking slightly frightened, "We've lived here for a year now. You get to know people."
"A year," BB asked, "You've lived here that long?"
"Well, me and Shad anyway," Blackjack told him, "Aqua's been here for about four months now."
"Yeah, remember how she beat you up," Shad jumped in. Blackjack glared at him, and Shad shrunk back, "I mean how you defended yourself..." he trailed off as he noticed the glare was still aimed in his direction, "I'll just shut up now."
"You do that," Blackjack agreed.
"Can we talk about the past later," Aqua asked, crossing her arms, "What happened to thinking up a name?"
"You're the one who kept turning my ideas down," Shad told her, like his ideas were the best ever. Aqua rolled her eyes at him.
"Wonder why," she muttered.
"Like you had any ideas," Shad shot back.
"My real name is Garfield if that helps," BB suddenly blurted out, obviously to stop the fighting. In seconds, Shad was laughing so hard, he fell to the ground, gasping for air.
"It's a miracle," Blackjack said, "You actually got Shad to stop talking for five seconds." He and Aqua groaned as Shad caught his breath.
"Gar-Garfield," Shad asked, "L-like that orange c-cat?"
"Dude, I'm green," BB reminded him, putting emphasis on the color.
"Grass is green," Shad exclaimed suddenly, jumping to his feet and pointing his finger in the air.
"We are not going to call him Grass," Aqua told him, sighing in frustration. Shad began to speak again, "Or leaves, limes, or anything else green that you can think of."
"Broccoli," Shad shouted, then paused, "Wait, no one likes broccoli. I know, how about Green Machine. It rhymes!"
"I think he might have something," Blackjack admitted, a little reluctantly.
"Am I the only sane one left," Aqua asked, looking up in the air as if it would reveal all the answers.
"Just take off the green," Blackjack explained, "We can call him Machine."
"As much as I hate to admit it, it makes sense," Aqua said, "but since when have you agreed with Idiot over there?"
"It's Shad," he yelled out, but Aqua ignored him.
"Yeah, that scares me too," Blackjack told her, then turned to Beast Boy, "What do you think?"
"Anything's better than Mold," BB answered, shuddering at the thought of the horrible name.
"Welcome to the gang Machine," Blackjack said, holding out a hand, which BB shook quickly. Shad ran over to give him a high-five and shook his hand vigorously. Aqua simply nodded at him in her own greeting.
Any guilt about leaving the Teen Titans left in that moment. Here, there were people who appreciated him...needed him. He was part of a team.
Shout-Outs:
Soraoathkeeper – You're welcome about the review. I already knew that his real name was Garfield, but thank you for telling me anyway. It's nice to know that someone likes the story enough to help. And you're right, Raven and BB's personalities balance out each other perfectly.
Person – I hope you liked this chapter. I will be sure to update whenever I possibly can.
