Beast Boy's Inbox
By AlohaFox (Chloe Fox)
Sorry I didn't update sooner – it's the week before Spring Break, and everyone at school is packing everything possible in the last few days. But I want to write this chapter before I go off on my adventures, which tend to occur at the very last minute. I love driving now.
This story is dedicated to Tianimalz. [No clever comment. Yet.]
Chapter Two - Epic Prank
Hey Beast Boy!! Q! We all know you're famous for practical jokes, but I want to
know which one took the most time/effort to do?

Before I get ahead of myself, let me just make this clear: no prank is ever easy. EVER. It's always a challenge and effort to make it original, because you can't let the prankee know that it's coming.
Let me take you back to one of my favorite pranks that was also the most challenging…it was fairly recent, I think. It was one of Terra's first pranks. It was a good thing she was there; otherwise it wouldn't have turned out as good as it did if it were just me…
"So, let me get this all straight," Terra began, "I carve this giant head out of stone and make it hover over the window?"
"Yep!" I replied.
"Over what window?"
"The top window."
"Are you for real, boy?" she raised her eyebrows in doubt.
I nodded. "I am real as real can be."
"Um…how big?"
"Big enough to scare them," I said.
"Give me measurements," Terra said, getting paper and a pencil out from underneath her bed, where we were sitting.
I shrugged. "I don't know…seventy feet?"
"B!" she cried, "Come on!"
"Fine, let's go outside and see what fifty feet looks like."
So anyway, fifty was actually too big. We sized it down to about forty and then Terra began to carve. She did half of it with her gift, and I helped her do it in the traditional way with a hammer and stuff. All of this had to be done in the quarry, where we first met, so the others wouldn't see it. Carving with our hands took longer than I expected, and it was exhausting. But two weeks later, we came up with a fantastically carved face.
Then, finally, the big day came. Terra and I woke just before sunrise. She hoisted the big face from the quarry, carrying us in the process, too. When we got back to the Tower, she already had a headache. But she looked excited, and that made me excited, too.
Just as we began to see a faint pinkness in the sky, Terra hoisted the big face all the way up to the window.
"I AM OZ! THE GREAT AND POWERFUL!!" I roared, chuckling. For some reason, the giant head reminded me of that movie.
"Who?" Terra asked, looking at me as if I had gone crazy.
I stared at her for a minute. "Remind me later: movie night."
It was about fifteen minutes later, and we weren't picking up any screams from the baby monitors that I held in my hand. The other one was upstairs in the Main Room, where our victims would gather.
"Come on, Robin…don't you usually get up at two in the morning?" I grumbled.
Ten more minutes passed and Terra lowered the face to the ground. Sweat dripped from her forehead.
"Beast Boy," she sighed, whipping her long hair back into a ponytail, "Can we stop for a little bit? I can't keep this up all day."
"…That's what she said," I smirked.
She narrowed her eyes. "I know, I know…"
I chuckled. "You know it was funny."
"Whatever."
The baby monitor began to pick up voices. The others were up and eating breakfast. Terra heard, too, and she quickly rose the face back up to the window.
As soon as she did, all we could hear was screams of terror. Terra fell to her knees, hands still glowing and in the air, laughing. I was laughing, too.
She lowered the face, and we pounded knuckles.
"Killer, Beast Boy. Killer," she laughed.
So there you go. My most impressive RECENT (and favorite) prank so far. They get better each time, and each has a story behind it.
Facially Yours (haha…couldn't help it),

Beast Boy clicked SEND, and chuckled to himself.
"More questions?" Terra asked, leaning her chin on his shoulder. She clicked her teeth a few times.
"I told them about the Oz face prank," he replied, reaching up and playing with her hair.
"Ahahaha. That was a fun one. That was the first one I was a part of."
"Such a prestigious honor," he joked.
"I know, right?"
"The public amuses me," Beast Boy said. "That's all I gotta say."
