"Come on, Raven, you know I'm the best comedian ever!" Beast Boy whined to his reading teammate. With an obvious twitch, she slammed the book shut.

"You are not a comedian, you are a clown." She snarls in monotone, a surprising feat. The green teen scratched his head in confusion.

"What's the difference?" The rest of the team watched wearily, fearing for their stupid teammate. No one ever survived interrupting Raven's reading twice. Not that anyone was dumb enough to, until now. Without even glancing up from her novel, Raven explained: "People laugh with comedians. People laugh at clowns."

Beast Boy's eyes bugged out for a moment, before he rolled on the floor in laughter. The three observers watched with surprised expressions- eyes wide and mouth's dropped.

"What?" She snapped, suddenly aware of their looks.

"When did you get a sense of humor?" The green one supplied with a grin. "Looks like I'm wearing off on you!"

"Somebody save her!" Cyborg called over, trying to save his friend from the back aura floating around the girl.

"Hey Cy, what do you call a computer crossed with a prostitute?"

"Man, that is so wrong.."

"A fucking know-it-all!"

"Oh yeah, Teeny Greeny? What do a green guy and a moped have in common?" The robo-teen was now face-to-face with the green one.

"Hey!"

"They're both fun to ride until your friends see you with them!" Cyborg busted out in laughter while Beast Boy stared. A blushing Robin attempted to explain the joke to Starfire, who was confused. Raven was shocked by the dirty joke- her face was a deep red that he had never seen on her before. But Beast Boy ignored it.

"Did you hear about the man who had the penis transp-" He was cut of by a pale hand clamping his mouth shut. He tried to mummer through the bond.

"Shut. Up." Raven's normal calm tone was replaced by anger and mortification. Her nails dug into the side of his mouth as he fought to free himself. "You are not funny. Do. Not. Try. Either of you." She shot a threatening glance at Cyborg, whom she also had trapped. Swiftly, she grabbed her book and stalked out of the room, a trail of barely controlled black swirls following. Nobody wanted to break the silence- two felt like children chided by their mother, while Robin looked shocked at the dark-haired girl's behavior and Starfire seemed confused. The last broke the silence after a moment of consideration.

"Please, friends, what is a 'penis'? Why is Raven upset over it?"

It was silent for a moment as the alien's question registered. Robin choked while the other males laughed uproariously. He shot the two a warning glance before pushing Starfire out of the room.
"I'll tell you on the roof."

Beast Boy couldn't help but grin. Everything was back to normal- it was as if last night had never happened. Not that he could remember much about it, just waking up and seeing Raven on the couch. Then, he just fell asleep or something.

"Man, you should go apologize." Cyborg nudged Beast Boy towards the hallway. The boy tried to fight, but it was a losing battle. His assailant was way to big for him anyways. Thinking quickly, he changed into an octopus, sticking himself to the doorframe.

"Duuuude! Why do I always have to apologize?"

"'Cuz you're always the one pissing her off!"

After a little back and forth, pushing and shoving, threats and curses, the green teen trudged to his doom- Raven's room.

Feeling déjà vu, he knocked on her door.

"Hey, Raven. I, um, sorry for the thing in the main room. Me and Cy were just messing around. We didn't mean to embarrass you or… something."

"Forget it." came the monotone reply. The door slid open, revealing Raven fully. She had a bag in her hand and gave him a moment's glance before slipping around him and striding towards the main room.

"Hey, where ya going?" He caught up with her, happy with her quick forgiveness. Usually, she could hold a grudge to hell and back before she'd forgive him. This new-found friendship between them stirred his emotions (who had been quite stable since the morning) into a frenzy.

"There's a show tonight." She shrugged simply, drawing the bag closer to her. Beast Boy's brow rose at that.

"Cool! Can I go?"

"That is up to you."

"Awesome, when do we leave?" He grinned widely at being so accepted into Raven's interests. Maybe he should take up magic, too. Raven looked at him, frowning.

"You should leave later. I have.. something to do before I go."

"Oh, cool. See ya then!" He waved before diving into the couch, challenging Cyborg and Robin to a videogame match. He looked back to see her nod before she left the tower.

That was when Beast Boy noticed the silence.

"Hey guys, why are you looking at me like that?"

Both boys had sinister grins on their face. The boy gulped as the two cornered him on the couch.

"So, where are you and Ravvveeeeeen going tonight?"

Cyborg asked, practically singing their teammate's name.

"I think Beast Boy has a little date." Robin teased, smirking at the stuttering green teen.

"No way, dudes! It's not like that!" He felt his face flush and he knew there was not escaping the teasing.

"Oh, looks like you're right, Robin."

"Look at that blush!"

"And he tries to deny it!"

"Dudes! We're going to see a tango show tonight! She said you guys could come!" Beast Boy lied without thought. He was flustered from the teasing and the blushing and the way it sent his animal side on a heated frenzy.

"Oh really now?" Cyborg grinned. Meanwhile, Starfire had abandoned her cooking to watch the teasing.

"Oh, Robin! I would much love to see Earth dancing! Please may we go?" She gave him that innocent face that always got her way. He blushed slightly.

"What time is this dance?"

"Um, I dunno. Sevenish?"

"Alright, what else do we need to know?"

Obviously, Robin was trying hard to find a logical reason to refuse.

"You gotta dress up." Beast Boy grinned sheepishly, entertaining the thought of seeing Raven in a dress.

"Oh, yes Robin! We must go!" Starfire squealed as she dragged Boy Wonder into the hallway. Cyborg gave him a weird look before leaving for his own room, grumbling about crushes and hormones.

With a shrug, Beast Boy raced off to his own room to change.

The theatre was just as packed as the last time Beast Boy was there, but someone- they presumed Raven- had left tickets at the door for him. The others had to pay their own way, which they grumbled about. It was fun to see the other dances, but the thing the teen enjoyed most was his teammate's reactions. In between watching the dancing and trying to find Raven, it was funny to watch them. Cyborg stared, open-mouthed, at the sensual moves. Starfire's eyes glowed happily- Beast Boy knew she'd drag Robin into it the first chance she got. Robin was interested, but to a lesser degree then the others. He sat with his arms crossed and watched with the eye of a karate master, waiting for a mistake.

By the end of the show, Beast Boy's heat was raging and they still hadn't met up with Raven. Fidgeting with the bowtie on his tux- was it hot in that place or what?- he looked around once more. Most of the room had cleared out and it would be easier to find her, supposedly. Then, they spotted her, like a black gem in a sea of red.
