The Rules in Beast Boy's World

Beast Boy was blasting his music at top volume in his room when there was a knock on his door. Beast Boy sighed and hit the 'off' button on the radio. He opened his door and found Starfire standing there with her hands behind her back.

"Oh, hey…did you need something, Star?" Beast Boy asked.

"Um, I believe I do not. But I need to do the showing you of something. Please, may I enter your room of slumber?" Starfire questioned.

"Uh, sure!" Beast Boy said, opening the door wider to allow Starfire into his room. He watched uneasily as Starfire looked around his room. "So, what do you want to show me?"

Starfire immediately turned her attention back to Beast Boy, looking startled. "Oh! It is an item that I hope you would like. I do not know how to…well, I believe I should just present it to you." Starfire held her arms out, revealing a small scrapbook in her hands.

Beast Boy took the book, eyeing it curiously. The cover was adorned with stars and sparkles, which was Starfire's signature design. He opened the book carefully and turned to the first page. Beast Boy was surprised when he saw a few pictures of the Titans arranged neatly on the paper. Beast Boy noticed that he was always the main focus of the image in every picture he encountered. Beast Boy turned the page and found the same thing. There were a few group pictures of the Titans and some where they were just goofing around and having fun, but most of them contained Beast Boy.

Beast Boy looked up at Starfire. "Star…what is all this?"

Starfire smiled nervously. "I have compiled all pictures of you with the Titans together. This is to show you how much you mean to us, the Titans. Do you not like it?"

"Like it? I love it! This is great! Thanks for making this for me, Starfire." Beast Boy replied, grinning at her.

Starfire looked relieved. "I am most pleased that you like it, Friend Beast Boy."

"I can tell you put a lot of work and effort into this. I don't know how to repay you for all this."

"It was not a problem, Friend Beast Boy. You are my friend and I would gladly do the sacrificing of anything for you." Starfire answered.

Beast Boy smiled weakly at her and turned his attention back to the book. He flipped through the pages and saw more pictures, this time they contained some of the Honorary Titans and Titans East. As he got to the last few pages, Beast Boy found that the pictures were replaced with words. He examined it closely and realized that they were compliments and words of encouragement written by some of his friends.

Hey, Beast Boy! I just wanted to say that you're my best friend on the surface world. And you're also the only friend I know that respects fish (not like a certain red-haired archer). You're a really smart guy; we wouldn't have been able to beat Trident and the Brotherhood of Evil without you. I hope we get to work together again sometime soon! ̴ Aqualad

Hi, green dude! I never really got to know you, because I was always arguing with that stick-in-the-mud Boy Wonder who thinks his hair is better than mine. But I can say you're quite okay for someone who's on Mr. Know-it-All's team. Your powers are really cool; I've never met a shape shifter before. They're way waaay cooler than fish dude, noisy little Spanish boys and over controlling bee girl. Well, see you around! ̴ Speedy

Heelllooo, Beast Boy! I think you're the only guy that can stand my craziness; it's probably because we're so similar, huh? Even Jinxy can't stand me, heh, she'd just hex me if I'm being too annoying. You're really fun to be around, BB! ̴ Kid Flash (but you can call me KF, all my friends do, except Rob. He thinks it's unprofessional to give nicknames)

There were even more notes by other Titans on the next page, some of them just writing a few words, but the words were sincere.

Hey. You're a good guy, Beast Boy. It was nice working with you. If you ever need a wrestling partner, I'm always free! ̴ Pantha

Beast Boy, this is me, Herald. I wanted to tell you that I hold a deep sense of respect for you ever since we defeated the Brotherhood of Evil. You gave us hope when we were ready to give up, when we were convinced we had already lost. There should be more people like you around. The world needs it. ̴ Herald

Hi! Remember me? I'm the guy on the mountain that likes to play with the guitar. I was just wondering: have you ever thought of leading your own team? I think you would make a great leader. ̴ Jericho

Hi, Beast Boy! Greetings from the North Pole! I can say that you're one of the friendliest on the Titans and I'm glad that I know you. ̴ Kole and Gnaark (P.S. Gnaark can't write, but he says 'hi' and hopes that you and the Titans visit soon)

Hey. Kind of busy destroying robots right now, but your pretty alien friend here insists that I write something. So I'll say that you seem pretty cool and easygoing, opposite of me. I'm pretty envious of you. Okay, got to go now, a robot just trashed my home, and I'm reeaallly mad, so I should stop writing before I burn a hole in this book. ̴ Hotspot

Beast Boy was speechless. This all felt so unreal. Beast Boy looked at the other pages and saw that each and every Titan and Honorary Titan had written something. There were even a few comments written by some of their allies, like Galfore (though half of the message was in Tamaranean), Spike and others.

"Wow, Star, I don't know what to say. How did you do all this? Did you fly around asking everyone to write something?"

Starfire flushed. "Yes, I believe I did. Some of the Titans of Honorary did not want to write something as they claimed they were 'too busy'. However, I was able to convince them upon the threat of being burned by starbolts."

Beast Boy laughed at that. "I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of any of your starbolts. So, did you go to Tamaran and force Galfore to write something as well?"

Starfire nodded. "I took the opportunity of the lack of criminal activity to visit Tamaran. Unfortunately, Galfore does not know how to write in English very well and his writing is also indiscernible. I believe he reverted back to Tamaranean after the first sentence. I shall provide you with a translation if you so wish."

"Yeah, that'd be helpful. All I see is some weird squiggly lines and funny symbols." Beast Boy said, staring quizzically at the Tamaranean words. "Anyway, Starfire, I really appreciate this. No one has ever done something like this for me before. All these words, they made me feel like…I'm wanted, like I'm actually needed, because all these people make it sound like my presence is welcome."

Starfire frowned. "But you are needed! We would not have done the forming of the Teen Titans if it was not for your insistence!"

Beast Boy shrugged. "Meh. You guys would have formed a team eventually." Seeing Starfire's lips turn downwards at his statement, he quickly changed the subject. "So I'm guessing the remarks from our team are at the back of the book?"

Starfire pursed her lips and inclined her head. "The writings from our team are rather lengthy, so I shall take my leave while you do the reading."

"Uh, okay. Thanks again, Star." Beast Boy said, trying to make their conversation end on a good note. A vexed Tamaranean was the last thing he needed right now.

"It was nothing, Friend Beast Boy." Starfire said dismissively, before flying out of his room.

Well, at least she called me Friend Beast Boy. So I think we're okay. Beast Boy thought.

Beast Boy glanced at the pages where his teammates wrote something, well a lot of something. Starfire wasn't kidding when she said it was lengthy, especially the fourth person's writing. He'll read it later, Beast Boy decided; now, he just wanted to think about all the nice things everyone said about him.

Beast Boy flopped down on his bed and turned the pages lazily, smiling at the words and pictures. He was about to put the book away when something caught his eye. Beast Boy went back to the previous page and began to wonder how he had missed this. All over the page were scribbles and signatures from civilians. Civilians! They were praising him!

There were even a few girls that added their phone number and asking him to call them. No, wait, scratch that, there were a lot of girls that wrote down their phone number. Three of the pages were occupied by civilians' remarks and comments. Some of them had even said that he was their favorite hero! Beast Boy's heart was bursting with joy. The smile on his face was so wide it was stretched almost completely over his face.

Once again, Beast Boy wondered how he could have missed this. He tugged at the page gently, then realized why. A few of the pages were stuck together with a thin layer of glue. Beast Boy was puzzled. Why would Starfire stick a few pages together unless…? Beast Boy frowned, fingering a page, which was suspiciously thick. He carefully pulled on each side of the page revealing two pages hidden in between.

Beast Boy smiled wryly. Clever, Star. Really clever. She must have meant it as a surprise, which explains why she had left so hurriedly, Beast Boy realized.

Beast Boy shut the book and tossed it aside. He closed his eyes with a sigh. He still had a few hours before he had to go on night patrol with Cyborg and Raven. Beast Boy chuckled. It was funny how a few words could lighten his mood. It was nice to feel appreciated by people. Beast Boy was going to enjoy this feeling while it lasted. For all he knew, this could be just a really nice dream and tomorrow he'll wake up in a nightmare. Because in Beast Boy's world, nothing is ever sunshine and bunnies forever.
