Chapter One
A Simple Plan
Walking down the halls of Titans Tower, you'd immediately find a green shape shifter named Beast boy in a black and purple jumpsuit outside one of his friend's doors. He almost always had his pointed green ear pressed against a door when he had time on his hands.
Today he decided to try overhearing something embarrassing from his good friend Robin's room. The medium height Caucasian boy rarely spent any time in his room, except to spike his jet black hair in the mornings. Beast Boy decided to take advantage of this rare moment when Robin was not in the Crime Lab, attempting to solve crimes that had not yet even happened. Pressing his pointed green ear against his friend's bedroom door, he instantly started hearing singing from within the bedroom's depths.
"Have you ever felt like breaking down, have you ever felt out of place, like somehow you just don't belong, and no one understands you…"
"Dude," Beast Boy thought to himself, "This is perfect."
Chuckling to himself, he sped off to his bedroom, determined to get some blackmail on Robin. His grabbed his tape recorder and camera off the top of his television and ran back off to Robin's bedroom door. As soon as he reached his destination, he slowly placed the recorder up against the door, so as not to make any noise that would give away his scheme. Pressing the 'record' button, he pressed his own ear against the door once again to hear Robin sing his heart out.
"No you don't know what its like, when nothing feels alright, you don't know what it's like to be like me…"
You know, he really wasn't that bad…
"To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark, to be kicked when your down, and feel like you've been pushed around…"
He was actually pretty good…
"To be on the edge of breaking down when know one's there to save you, no you don't know what it's like..."
And he was going perfectly to the tune…
"Welcome to my life."
At this precise moment, Beast Boy flung open the door and took a shot with his camera. A stunned Robin stood in the middle of his bedroom in his boxers and cape, with an imaginary guitar in his hands.
"BEAST BOY!"
"You know, I almost thought about stopping that from recording because you sounded so good….almost," Beast Boy grinned slyly.
Robin rushed to his closet and pulled on his shirt and pants. Not bothering with the fact that his cape was tucked into the neck of his shirt. This probably would have just slowed him down as he chased after Beast Boy down the hallway.
"GIVE ME THAT PICTURE!" Robin bellowed at Beast Boy, referring to the Polaroid in the green shape shifter's hand.
"No way, dude! I never took you as the Heart Print kind of guy!" Beast Boy replied as he raced to his room. Robin was rapidly advancing on him when he finally reached his bedroom. He scurried in and locked the door.
"Open this door! NOW!" he heard Robin scream through the pounding of fists on his bedroom door.
"No way! This is too perfect! I never knew you liked Simple Plan!"
Hearing Robin's trademarked growl, Beast Boy opened his window, took the tape recorder and Polaroid in his mouth and set out into the sky as a green eagle just before Robin broke down the door.
"BEAST BOY! GET BACK HERE, NOW!"
"No thanks," Beast Boy thought, "I'd rather go see if the local newspaper you like so much will publish it!"
He could see the headline now: ROBIN: SUPER HERO OR SUPER STAR?
This was gonna be great.
