Is he chasing me?, wondered the pink haired girl as she sprinted through the alleyways behind the jewelry store. He's a shape-shiftier so I probably won't be able to outrun him. My only hope is to lose him somewhere.

Is she really this stupid?, Beast Boy mentally asked himself. I hope she realizes I can smell her, and hear her footsteps. There's no way she's losing me without hiding in a crowd.

Veering off sharply into a side alley, Jinx lunged behind a dumpster to avoid her pursuer. For a moment she almost escaped.

Dang, what happened to her scent?, thought the changeling, angrily. Suddenly, he it hit him, masked by the garbage.

He realized she smelled slightly of wildflowers, something he hadn't expected of a super-villain. Glancing in the direction the scent was coming from, he saw the tips of her horn-like hair peeking slightly over the top of her hiding place.

Raising a humored eyebrow, he approached her hiding place. Upon hearing his approaching footsteps, she leapt to her feet and turned to face the green figure. Their eyes met as he slowly moved toward her.

"You know Jinx," he began, "running in here probably wasn't your best idea. You've pretty much cornered yourself. And pink hair in a dark alley kinda sticks out, and this coming from the guy with green skin!"

In spite of her current situation, she found herself giggling. Beast Boy halted his approach.

"Did you just… laugh… at one of my jokes?" he asked incredulously, pausing in mid-step.

"Well ya," she replied honestly. "You're kind of funny." She blushed at her own compliment.

A bad guy (or is it girl?) thinks I'm funny when the rest of my team just finds me annoying, ironic huh? The changeling thought to himself.

"Well… do you want to hear more?" he asked hesitantly, surprising himself as much as her.

"Um… sure, why not?" she replied, only half realizing that neither of them were in a combat stance, mostly because she was thinking about the blush that was rising rapidly rising to her face.

He grinned. Just as he opened his mouth to make good on his offer, his communicator started beeping. "Beast Boy, we've lost the Hive 5! Please tell me you at least caught Jinx!" Robin's frustrated voice was heard shouting on the other end.

Suddenly remembering the situation, Jinx rushed forward, shoving the young Titan out of the way.

"Robin, I had her! If you hadn't called I would've been able to catch her!" Beast Boy growled, half wondering if he would have actually started a conversation with her. "I'll meet you guys back at the tower."

oooooo

Jinx dropped onto the couch, exhausted. At least I was able to keep my prize, she thought, holding up her bag of jewels with a smile.

Just then, a very angry Gizmo stormed in. "What the heck! You totally ditched us to deal with those pit-sniffers!"

"I'm not in the mood, shorty! I'm going out, so I want you to find someone to fence these," she said, tossing him the jewels. With that, she stormed away from the minuscule genus.

Alone in her room, she pulled out a box from underneath her bed. Inside was a make-up kit, a blonde wig, and a pair of contacts. Placing in the contacts, she oped her eyes to reveal two normal blue eyes. I really need a boyfriend, she thought tiredly.

0000000

Beast Boy held his head in his hands as he listened to Robin rant about how bad that mission went.

"You should have stopped her! You had her right where you wanted her, and you let her go!"

"Challenge him! Show him you are the alpha!" roared his feral morphs. He suppressed the urge to tackle the masked boy, but not the anger.

"I know, I messed up! I get it! You don't need to rub it in, and I don't need to sit here and take it! I'm going out, I'll be back later!" he yelled at the team leader as he stormed from the room.

When he entered his room, he hurried toward the his desk. Opening one of the drawers, he removed he holo-rings that Cyborg had given him after the infiltration of Hive Academy. Placing them on his fingers, he changed into a boy with blonde hair and green eyes. I really need a girlfriend, he thought angrily.

A/N: I know, cliff-hanger. I'm sure you can figure out what happens, but until then review! I LOVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO POINT OUT MISTAKES!
