Chapter 6 - Whats his problem?
Part 1 - Oh snap!
Beast Boy woke up in his bed after a whole night of dreaming he was an internationaly known rock star that all the girls in the world dreamed about and melted at his feet (keep on dreaming BB!). After awakening, he glared out the window and said to him self "Man! If I wasn't a titan I would've been up to my neck in female fans". He jumped out of his bed morphing into a cat and streatching.
It was another typical bright Jump City day out side and the clock read 11 A.M. .
"Ahhh, what a great day" he said to him self "I think I'll start it by beating Cyborg at video games, that should definetly get me going for the rest of the day".
BB smirked and rubed his hands with a devilish look on his face being certain he would defeat Cyborg. He springed out and headed towards Cyborg's room to chalange him, but just as he was ready to knock Cyborg walked out carying a big box full of tools and computer hardwear.
"Cy, just the guy I was looking for" said Beast Boy leaning towards his team mate "... get this! Me, you, "Total Space Racer 4", winner gets to raid the losers room. What do you say? You up for the chalange?".
"Sorry BB, not this morning" said Cyborg walking away in sort of a hury but enthusiastic "I gotta install some new programs on the T-Car and work on it a little. I'll finaly get the chance to change the subwoofer and give the T-Car some more basse and treble".
Beast Boy ran in front of Cyborg.
"Come on, admit it ... you're just scared couse you know I'll beat you and get to raid your room!" he said raising an eye brow.
"Man, between the T-Car and raiding you dirty ol' room full of sweaty socks and filthy underwear I'll go for the T-Car any time" said Cyborg sarcasticly and went off.
Beast Boy went along side him heading towards Robin's room.
"Oh well! I guess I'll just have to beat Robin then".
"You can't, he's not home" said Cyborg makeing Beast Boy stop in his traks.
"What?" asked BB surprised because he knew that Robin was always home at this time of day working up new strategies and stuff. "What do you mean he's not home?".
"Like I said, he's not home, he left about an hour ago with Starfire out somewhere".
Beast Boy sighed and pondered for a few seconds
"That's kinda strange. Dude, have you ever noticed how those two are always hanging out, I think there's something going on between them ... but you didn't hear it from me, okay?".
Cyborg looked at BB and almost laughed
"Wow! No kidding? Maybe the fact that they left holding hands isn't enough to realise that they have the hots for each other".
At hearing this BB was stuned. "Really? They left holding hands?".
"Man I knew they liked each other ever since the day I met both of them, what the heck, you have to be dumb not to notice something like that".
Cyborg left hurrying to the garag but Beast Boy stayed behind confused.
"But ... who am I gonna play "Total Space Racer 4" with?" shouted Beast Boy who was kind of upset.
"Try Rage, he hasn't left his room for the last couple of days, maybe you'll make him get out" said Cyborg walking down to the stairs.
"Hey! He's right!" exclaimed Beast Boy who almost forgot that Rage decided to stay.
He ran to Rage's room fast and knocked at the door.
"Who is it?" asked Rage from inside.
"It's me, Beast Boy" replied the shape shifter.
"Oh, come in then".
BB entered Rage's room and looked around. There wasn't much to see actualy, Rage setled in just 3 days before and didn't have anything with him except some cloathes and three packs of St. George cigarettes so the room only had a bed, an empty bookcase, an almost empty wordrobe, and a chair on which was placed a glass that Rage used as an ashtray. Rage was standing in front of his open bedroom window smoking a cigarette. He seemed to be doing nothing. Beast Boy jumed on his bed laying there.
"You know that stuff will kill you one day" said BB warning his new team mate.
"We all have to die someday don't we?" replied Rage.
"True, but smokers die faster than non smokers".
Rage turned at BB looking at him with a sort of weird determination on his face, he looked just like Robin when he worked
"Like I said ... we all have to die some day".
BB gulped for no reason at all but came back to his senses.
"So anyway ... I was wondering if you would like to play some video games. I got the new 'Total Space Racer 4' and I'm looking for victims".
"I don't play video games. Never liked them, never tryed" replied Rage who was still smoking and blowing cigarette smoke out the window.
"Oh come on dude! It'll be fun. I'll teach you how to play, and besides, you didn't come out of your room for like what, 2 days now? Aren't you getting claustrophobic in here?" said Beast Boy trying to determine Rage to come out of his room.
"Who said I haven't left my room?" asked Rage surprised "I've been out every night these last 2 nights".
BB sighed. "You have? What have you been doing then?".
"Not much, no crimes means no work" replied Rage.
BB was intrigued but still needed a 'victim'.
"So what do you say? You up for a game? Or are you affraid I'll beat you?".
"Ha-ha! I never lose at anything except an ocasional thumb wrestle" replied Rage confident of himself "Alright then, show me how to play and I'll kick your butt".
In the comon room Rage and Beast Boy were sitting on the couch. After showing Rage how to use the joy-stick the two started playing. Beast Boy won 8 times in a row and Rage was getting annoyed because of losing. After the 9'th conescutive defeat Rage exploded.
"Oh come on! ... I never lose at anything and now I lose at this video game. Damn it!".
BB was doing a victory dance and was laughing at his friend being glad to wipe that confident smirk of his face.
"Hey, I forgot to warn you, you're playing against the best video game player in the world. You should be happy I didn't humiliate you in front of everybody".
"Yes, yes, what ever you say" said Rage "... you cheater".
Beast Boy stoped and looked at Rage furious.
"CHEATER?" BB yelled out "Are you calling me a CHEATER?".
"Yes!" Rage exclaimed happy that he got on BB's nerves.
"I don't cheat, I never cheat, you're nothing but a big sore loser that's what you are".
Rage grabed Beast Boy who was off guard and started giving him a nuggie.
"Admit it, you're a cheater, you're the biggest of them all" said Rage while geting on BB's nevres and giveing him a friendly nuggie.
Beast Boy curled around and got back at Rage returning the favour the same way.
"The tables have turned ha? Now say 'I'm sorry Beast Boy, I'm nothing but a big fat crying sore looser and you're the best' ".
The two scrambled all over the couch grabing and teasing one another, but when BB turned into a gorila and started giveing Rage a really painfull nuggie and teasing him about how he played, Rage broke out of BB's cluches throwing him over the sofa and threw the joy-stick at him. His eyes started to turn red as he went next to BB and grabed him by the collar of his costume.
"I never lose, you cheated ... ADMIT IT!" yelled Rage who was really mad.
"Dude, chill out, it's only a game!" replied BB who was a bit scared of Rage's atitude.
Rage let BB go, droping him on the floor. He let his head fall down in he ground and apologised to him.
"Oh man! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I don't know what came over me. Please, you have to belive me I didn't intend to hurt you".
"Whou, whou, slow down man, I forgive you!" replied Beast Boy who was rather perlexed.
He noticed that Rage's eyes came back to their normal colour.
"I'll be in the gym if anyone needs me" said Rage as Beast Boy went to pick up the joy-stick his friend threw.
"You sure you don't want to play some more?".
"What's the use, I'll just lose again" replied Rage who was leaving the room.
"Oh come on dude, let's play some more, if you leave then what I said was true and you admit it".
Rage stoped in front of the sliding door, looked at Beast Boy and noded.
"Nts, nts, nts ... what a sore winner you turned out to be" he replied in a friendly maner.
