I know I said Beast Boy would go through Hell, but I couldn't make that little adventure work unless I brought this up first. Actually, it's two things, but he will go through Hell in this chapter AND the next!! I promise!

I hope I haven't offended anyone by saying a character was going to do something, and then turn around and say 'that's not gonna happen'. Sorry.

Attack of the Neat-Freak!

Jinx and Beast Boy arrived at their destination: the pitiful room they shared. As the mechanical door opened, the two stared at the arena of junk for a space to put the witch's new clothing. They entered the pig pen and glanced around, and the twosome began to clear a suitably large spot for a dresser. The sorceress managed to persuade the changeling into spending an entire hour shifting his junk around.

After the chosen spot had been cleared sufficiently, Beast Boy and Cyborg brought out a dusty, old dresser from a storage room for the witch to use in the time she was held in their dorm. Then Jinx dusted it off herself as her roommate would not be brought into that little act of clean-up for more than an hour at most (it's BB, what'd ya expect). She spent at least three-and-a-half hours cleaning every single speck of dust from it, and that was only after Beast Boy quit on her. The sorceress then had to fold-and-put-away her own clothes, which the changeling again blatantly refused to participate in.

"That's done" and she sighed. Jinx sat back on her heels to admire her handy work. The old, wooden dress-of-drawers now shone with a golden type of gleam (you know that gleam?), and each drawer was perfectly aligned with the rest of the dresser (some old drawers don't close well, you know?). She then made the annoying mistake of glancing over at the shapeshifter.

He was lying on the bed twiddling his thumbs, and otherwise being totally un-helpful and irritating too! And then he had the nerve to speak to her! No duh, Jinx thought. He's a hero, they're all stuck-up jerks anyway.

"You do know we missed dinner because you had to be Miss Perfectionist." Beast Boy continued to stare at his ceiling as he spoke to her. That alone made her want to… Ooo!

"What's stopping you then?" she retorted back.

"We're chained together, duh." Her cheeks reddened by her stupidity at such an obvious factor.

"Yeah, well" the sorceress tried desperately to remedy her verbal mistake. "You could have pointed out to me it was dinnertime!"

"I tried to", the shapeshifter answered and finally looked at her. "You were too busy fussing over one of those freakin' drawers." He turned his attention back to the ceiling, as if to make his point that the ceiling was much more important then the Titans' captive.

"Well" she began as the retort took its place on her readied, catapult mouth, but Beast Boy held up his left hand.

"You and I both know you've lost this one." He again did not turn in his roommate's direction. "Try again when you don't make so many stupid mistakes." Internally, the changeling was pleased that he'd finally won a verbal battle. Then again, he always seemed to pick them with Raven, the Universe's Champion in verbal battles. Maybe he should try with Cyborg, he might stand a chance. With these thoughts running through his mind, he failed to hear his roommate's proposal properly and responded affirmatively to her request. That specific mistake would prove fatal come the next morning, Jinx would make sure of that!

The residents of Titans Tower readied themselves for bed as the sun lowered itself into its bubbly bath of stars. But one, the anti-Titan, went to sleep with a mission of termination various means of untidiness within her room. For she, and she alone, was planning to do something for the changeling, and she did, if you must know, have his permission to enact upon this scheme of hers.

Five-thirty: Jinx's seventh day with the Titans

Jinx heard the alarm she had sat so carefully the night before go off. She responded to it with a smack. She almost dove back under the covers but remembered why she had sat the clock to that specific time. Gleefully, she arose quickly and quietly, and began stage one of her mission: to create a clear, two-foot radius around the twin bed she and Beast Boy shared.

Once, during stage one, the changeling stirred in his sleep. Jinx froze instantaneously. Though she had her permission, the sorceress had the sneaking suspicion that the case would be different once the changeling awoke. But Beast Boy only turned over onto his belly and continued to breathe softly. That's the only good thing about being cursed like this, Jinx mumbled to herself as she continued her quest. He doesn't snore that loud.

The sorceress moved slowly across the room, creating a clean pathway leading from the bed to the wall opposite the door. From there she spread outward, meticulously cleaning the entire room of which she was getting tired of staring at all the junk. Jinx couldn't help being a neat-freak, just as Beast Boy couldn't help being an all-out slob.

One thing was for sure, he would definitely owe her one for picking up his boxers!

There they were, both of them, and Lars was striding to him with murder in his dark eyes. All he could do was try and shrink farther into the corner, while the enormous man come closer, and closer, and closer…

The slight rustling sound was drawing closer and louder. Beast Boy latched onto that sound, using it as a leverage to pull himself from the dark slime-pit of the nightmare.

His large green eyes blinked in the morning light that managed to creep through the slits of the window blinds. As he stared at the wall in front of him and felt the tension around his waist heightened briefly, he felt that something was so dreadfully and unacceptably wrong. He puzzled over this and again felt a pull at the black spell that entangled him and Jinx.

Jinx. The spell pulled only when he or Jinx tugged on it. What's she up to now?

Beast boy sat up and rubbed his eyes. And then he rubbed them again. And once more, he rubbed them. And then he screamed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" The changeling leaped out of bed and tackled the witch who was, at that moment, organizing his comic books.

"AHHH!" the sorceress shrieked, obviously surprised. As she fell back, Jinx accidentally let go of the paper, boy-thingies.

Sorry, but the chapter's getting' kind'a long here. I'm gonna let you go for now, but I'll be back!

Just a question for the readers, and if you have fears of this: the question has absolutely nothing to do with Roommates.

Question: Have you seen the movie Ghostrider yet? If so, what is your opinion?

That's all for now and—Oh, yeah! I almost forgot! If you have any songs that fit the triangles Kid Flash/Jinx/Cyborg and/or Terra/BB/Raven, I'd be ever-so thankful if you'd let me know. I'm pretty sure my e-mail address can be found on my profile.

Now! That's all for now!
