Slade is lying in the shade under a rock when all of a sudden Beast Boy came running up.
"Hey Uncle Slade! Guess what!" said Beast Boy.
"Guessing games are not quite my forte."
"I'm going to be king of Titan Rock!" said Beast Boy.
"Oh goody." Said Slade sarcastically.
Beast Boy moved over to the edge of the rock. "My dad just showed me the whole kingdom; and I'm going to rule it all. Dude, I am so going to rock!"
"Yeah well…forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back from shape shifting." Said Slade.
"You can shape shift too?" asked Beast Boy.
"Of course I can. Every male in the pride can. Sort of a guy type…thing!" said Slade.
Slade then flopped down on his side and Beast Boy hung over him.
"Hey Uncle Slade? When I'm king, what'll that make you?" asked Beast Boy.
"A beasty's uncle."
"Heh heh. You're so weird."
Slade took this moment to look him in the eye and said "You have NO idea. …So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he?"
"Everything." Said Beast Boy.
"He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border…?" asked Slade.
A little disappointed Beast Boy said "Well, no…He said I can't go there."
"And he's absolutely right! It's far too dangerous! Only the bravest super powered beings go there." Said Slade.
"Well, I'm brave. What's out th…"
"No! I'm sorry Beast Boy, I just can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"Beast Boy, Beast Boy, I'm only looking out for the well being of my favorite nephew."
He gives Beast Boy a nugee and pats him on the head.
"Yeah right dude, I'm so totally your only nephew." Said Beast Boy.
"All the more reason for to be protective…A giant hive is no place for a young prince…" he then fakes his surprise as he says "Oops!"
"A giant what?" asked Beast Boy enthusiastically.
Slade then started to fake his dismay "Oh dear, I've said too much…Well I suppose you'd have found sooner or later, being such a smart cookie and all…" he then pulled Beast Boy closer. "Oh, just do me one favor; promise me you'll never visit that creepy place."
Beast Boy thinks for a second and says "Don't sweat it dude."
"There's a good elf. No go and play. And remember…it's our little secret." Said Slade.
Beast Boy walks away and soon so does Slade, but he does it with an evil smile.
Beast Boy is running down the slope of the bottom part of Titan's Rock. He runs down towards Rita and Terra. Rita is combing Terra's hair with a butterfly comb.
"Hey Terra." Said Beast Boy.
"Hi Beast Boy." Said Terra.
"Come on. I just heard about this wicked cool place." Said Beast Boy.
"Beast Boy! I'm kind of in the middle of getting my hair combed!" said Terra.
"And I do believe it is time for your hair to become combed too." Said Starfire.
Beast Boy tries to escape but it's too late. Starfire bends down and grabs him. She continues to comb his hair despite his struggling.
"Mom!...Mom. You're messing up my do." Said Beast Boy.
Starfire smiles lovingly and puts him down.
"Fine, fine, my hair is nice now. Can we go now?" asked Beast Boy.
"So where are we going? It better not be anyplace dumb." Said Terra.
"No. It's really cool!" said Beast Boy.
"Tell me son, exactly where is this place that is supposedly 'really cool'?" asked Starfire.
"Oh…"Beast Boy had to think for a minute. "Uh…around the water hole." Said Beast Boy.
"The water hole? What's so great about the water hole?" asked Terra.
Beast Boy whispers to her in clenched teeth "I'll SHOW you when we GET there."
"Oh. Uh…Mom, can I go with Beast Boy?" asked Terra.
"Hm…What do you think Starfire?" asked Rita.
"Well…" starts Starfire.
Beast Boy and Terra give her these incredibly toothy smiles with a "Pleeeease?"
"It is all right with me..." Said Starfire.
"All right!" cheered Terra.
"Go mom! Go mom! It's your birthday!" chanted Beast Boy.
"As long as friend Raven goes with you." Said Starfire.
"Oh no not little miss sunshine!" said Beast Boy.
The scene then shows Terra and Beast Boy walking to the watering hole. Raven is flying over head keeping a watch on them.
"Pick up the pace squirts. The sooner we get to the pointless water hole, the sooner we can leave." Said Raven.
"So where are we really going?" whispered Terra.
"A giant hive." Whispered Beast Boy.
"WOW!" said Terra.
"Shhh! Raven!" whispered Beast Boy.
"Right. So how're we gonna ditch the goth?" whispered Terra.
Raven saw Beast Boy and Terra whispering back and forth and smiled. She flew down and landed on a rock in front of them.
"Well would you look at the two of you. Whispering sweet nothings. Your parents will be thrilled…what with being betrothed and all." Said Raven in a monotone voice.
"Be-what?" asked Beast Boy.
"Betrothed. Intended. Affianced." Said Raven.
"Have you been hanging out with my mom too much or something?" asked Beast Boy.
"Yeah. What's all that mean?" asked Terra.
"One day, you two are going to be hitched." Said Raven.
"Yuck!" said Beast Boy.
"Eww." Said Terra.
"I can't marry her. She's my best friend." Said Beast Boy.
"Yeah, it'd be too weird and creepy." Said Terra.
Raven then said "Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you two turtle doves have no choice. It's pointless to try to resist fate. It's more than fate, it's a tradition…"
Beast Boy begins to mock Raven with his hand and Terra stifles a giggle.
"…Going back generations."
"Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go." Said Beast Boy.
"Not so long as I'm around!" said Raven.
Music starts to pick up.
"Well, in that case, you're fired." Said Beast Boy.
"Nice try, but only the king can do that." Said Raven poking his nose.
"Well, he's the future king." Said Terra.
"Yeah." He pushes Raven's leg a little. "So you have to do what I tell you."
"Not yet I don't! And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed!" said Raven.
"That's not the way I see it." Said Beast Boy.
Colors change to wild pop-Africa. Background abruptly becomes surreal, brightly-colored cartoon style.
"I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!" sang Beast Boy.
"Well I've never seen a king of beasts…" Raven plucks off one of Beast Boy's hair. "With such green hair."
Beast Boy changes into a lion cub and gets a mane of leaves. He then sings "I'm going to be the mane event, like no king was before!"
Beast Boy starts to climb a log and sings "I'm brushing up on looking down. I'm working on my ROAR!"
On "ROAR" he shouted at Raven, startling her backwards into a puddle. She grabs something that she 'thinks' is a towel and starts to wipe herself off.
"Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing."
The camera pulls back to reveal it's an elephant. The elephant hits Raven with it's trunk as with a golf club, sending her skipping like a stone across a shallow pool of water. "I'll kill that elephant later." Said Raven. Beast Boy and Terra soon catch up to Raven.
"Oh I just can't wait to be king!" sung Beast Boy.
"You have a long way to go, squirt, if you think…"
"No one saying do this." Sung Beast Boy.
"Now when I said that…" said Raven.
"No one saying be there." Sung Terra.
"What I meant was…" said Raven.
"No one saying stop that!" sung Beast Boy.
"Look, what you don't realize…"
"No one saying see here." Sung both Beast Boy and Terra as they ran off.
"Now see here!" said Raven.
Beast Boy and Terra were now riding ostriches.
"Free to run around all day." Sung Beast Boy.
"Well that's definitely out…" said Raven.
She flew ahead of them, looking back to speak to speak to them and so not paying attention ahead.
"I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart!" sung Raven.
She then fly into a rhino.
"Kings don't need advice from little half demons for a start." Sung Beast Boy passing by.
Raven then landed on a log that was floating in a river.
"If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out! Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn't hang about…AAGH!"
The log had just gone over a water fall but Raven flew up and out of there.
"This child is getting wildly out of hand." Sung Raven.
"Oh I just can't wait to be king!" sung Beast Boy.
Beast Boy and Terra trot up a corridor of zebras standing at attention; when Raven follows, they all turn and raise their tails. But Raven then used her powers so that should they decide to do what she thinks they would do they would all get in each other's faces.
Beast Boy and Terra dance about under a moving heard of elephants just barely avoiding getting flattened. Raven flies overhead, looking for them. Beast Boy ends up standing on a giraffe's head.
"Everybody look left." Sung Beast Boy.
Raven quickly put up a force field bubble as a bunch animals try to trample her.
"Everybody look right." Sung Beast Boy.
This time the animals ran over the bubble putting some strain on Raven.
Beast Boy then sang "Everywhere you look I'm…"
He slid down a giraffe's neck into a theatrical pose and sung "Standing in the spotlight!"
"NOT YET!" said Raven.
Beast Boy and Terra then started to get a little scared when the animals started to sing too.
"Let every creature go for broke and sing. Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing. It's gonna be King Beast Boy's finest fling."
The hippos, anteaters, antelopes, giraffes, ect. Then formed a pyramid with Beast Boy and Terra on top.
Beast Boy, ignoring the fact that they were animals, decided to sing along with them.
"Oh I just can't wait to be king! Oh I just can't wait to be king! Oh I just can't waaaaaait…"
The pyramid then started to topple as if some unforeseen force had hit at it's base.
"To be king!"
The pyramid then toppled leaving a rhino sitting ontop of Raven's force field bubble.
"I beg your pardon, sir, but… GET OFF!... Beast Boy? Terra?"
You now see Raven strangling me.
Raven strangling me: "How dare you do such a thing to me!"
Me being strangled: "I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you I promise."
Raven letting go: "What did you have in mind?"
I whisper something in her ear and she nodded in approval.
