Does Beast boy like hot sauce, or is that one of those things they never show you on the screen?
This chapter is in five parts. Just thought I'd let you know that.
Sorry, but I only used three pranks per day. I'm sure there were more but let's use our imaginations (insert mystic voice and sound).

T Minus Five
Day One
On Monday, the appetizer started light with Beast Boy getting his revenge by dumping Silky (Starfire had just given him the Pudding of Happiness too!) onto Jinx when she was sitting at the very edge of the black sofa.
Jinx returned his kind favor by slipping tar into the shampoo (she did NOT wash her hair that morning).
For the main course, the two exchanged trays of pasty, tofu toothpaste (BB's specialty) and hot-sauce in the soy-sauce-bottle (Go Jinx! Extra spicy!).
For the delight that is dessert there was the bittersweet arrival of the whoopee cushion (what a surprise for Jinx, and at the dinner table too!) and the tofu-plate-in-the-face ("Oops! Sorry Beast Boy", what a faker!).
Finally the two called it a day (at about ten-thirty!)
Day Two
On Tuesday breakfast was the strategy-planning point of the day's deadly battles.
The winner of battle one was Jinx, who managed to evade being hit with several bombings of coca-cola balloons (some of those back-fired on the sniper) and being tangled up in a giant net of cotton candy (Yes! The world has been freed of a dozen bags of the cotton from hell!).
Battle two, surprisingly, was won by none other than Beast Boy! His gymnastic abilities allowed him to escape the mine field of banana peelings, vegetable oil, and other slippery items useful in the misfortune mistress's bad-luck arsenal (Jinx on the other hand could not handle her on lake of oil! What a laugh!)
Battle three was considered to be the break even point as both managed to survive the obstacle course laid down by the enemy. The green changeling pulled through several pots of a hot, gooey substance (I got that stuff in my hair once, yuck!) while the pink witch endured the numerous tortures upon finding Beast Boy's (who was sitting in the only clean corner approximately three feet from the bed, grinning like the Devil, too!) elaborate trap of silly string covered bed-posts and walls, honey covered floors and whip-cream covered blankets (Icky!) all upon waking up (Pity, she would have displayed most Raven-like qualities if she had fallen into ANY of that stuff).
Day Three
Unfortunately, Wednesday was not as kind to Beast Boy and Jinx as her older brother Tuesday had been.
For Jinx the day began quite miserable indeed, I'm sure you would feel that way too if you woke up to face a skunk (and not the head end!). Beast Boy had an unfortunately big headache by breakfast (I was once smashed into a wall, though it was through my own clumsiness, come to think of it, I've done it dozens of times).
The sorceress found her revenge at ten o'clock, to the misfortune of the green Titan. Beast Boy had the misfortune to find (and Jinx did this, regrettably, behind the black sofa as he, Cyborg, and Robin played at Mega Monkeys 3) all but one of his video games glued together in one sticky mess (Ooo, bummer!).
Then the changeling made sure that his pink roommate washed her hair that night, sadly, this was not out of kindness, as Jinx found out when her she woke up to her newly-dyed green hair (must be a new fashion, I can never keep up with them).
The only good fortune that managed to work its way in was that the green dye lasted only twenty-four hours. After that it was completely washable, unfortunately. This was, unfortunately, unfortunate for the changeling as his glee did not last longer than that day. (I bet you're sick of the word unfortunately, aren't you? Thought so.)
Day Four
Thursday was a delightful zoo of party animals.
Jinx began the charades with Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Shapeshifter with a sewing-pin stuck up-and-out of the sofa cushion (Ouch! Bet that one hurt!!).
Beast Boy then, as he was persuaded to join the day's festivities by the witch, sent his roommate bobbing for dishes in the sink. She was a sitting duck since she was standing right beside when it was his turn to do dishes (I was once dared to drink dirty-dish-water! WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME or anywhere for that matter!!!!)
The sorceress then turned on the party-mix, making Beast Boy do the Funny-Chicken-Dance. But may be it had something to do with all that ice she woke him from his nap with (chill dude, its only ICE! HA!).
Day Five
On Friday, many a test were given to and exchanged by the witch and the changeling.
The twosome spent their morning cramming their heads with information that would prove vital to the grade of their tests. Beast Boy had the grand privilege of being the first of them to be quizzed. Jinx checked his vocabulary with how many words there are for Ouch when she sent him tumbling and rolling across all the junk in his room with a relatively small bad-luck spell.
Then the Titan team went outside to greet the breeze that set in shortly after one o'clock, for it was the only breeze that had been seen (or felt) all week! That was when Beast Boy sent his witchy roommate on a S.A.T (and I mean that in more than one way) of a test. He attached a fishhook-and-thin-line to one of her belt-loops. The end of the near-invisible fishing line he tangled into a clump of particularly wet and slimy seaweed. When Jinx walked far enough away, the line pulled taunt, then it smacked her right on the back (with quite a satisfying thump)! She couldn't sit down for the rest of the day!
Jinx then gave her skinny, green foe a P.E. (Physical Education) exam when she finally lost her temper entirely and chased him all around the T-Tower dozens of times holding above her head a branch (Run, BB! RUN!).
Day Six
As you can see, the pranks themselves were harmless enough to begin with. But one went too far out into the open.

Soooo…did you like it? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so bring them in.
You'll have noticed that there may be more pranks that were played by Beast boy than by Jinx. This is because many of Roommates reviewers insisted on giving me BB jokes, and I can not blame them, he's the one of the two more likely to play pranks (not to mention he's such a fun character to do things with!). I turned as many as I could into ones I could use for Jinx, but that wasn't many. Well, just thought you guys/girls might ask that question.
I know that last one isn't really a really and true prank, but it seemed a good way to end things.
I tried to put a different simile into every day, to use different descriptions for the five days (hence the T Minus Five).
I'll be back with more soon, until then this is the writer.
