I wrote this at 2am instead of studying for chemistry so sorry if it's trash. This is the third one shot i have written for this and still don't have an actual review..just someone informing me of accidentally breaking a rule. So uh, I would appreciate you taking the time to comment after reading this. Okay thanks.

Aqualad woke a little after eight o'clock in the morning to the smell of breakfast foods wafting into his bedroom. As comfortable as his new bed was, he knew that if he didn't head to the kitchen soon, all the food would be gone. Bumblebee had given them the day off training after a long, hard battle with Adonis the day before. The Atlantean slowly rolled off of the bed and stood up. He yawned and stretched his sore muscles, before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and heading for the closet. There he pulled out one of the several identical uniforms he owned and slipped it on just as he did every morning.

The scent of bacon, eggs, and pancakes was getting stronger and aided Aqualad in livening up. He quickly grabbed a comb and ran it through his hair a few times before damping a towel and scrubbing his face with it. Before leaving the bathroom, he quickly glanced in the mirror. Everything looked exactly as it should, except for a small white blemish on his cheek. His eyes squinted and he leaned closer towards the mirror, examining the spot. He had never seen anything like it. He poked and prodded at it with his fingers until it eventually burst. Horrified, he jumped back away from the mirror and all but ran to the kitchen to find the others.

ooOoo

"Pase el jarabe."

"No, tomaste mi tocino."

At the kitchen table, the other three boys of the team were already eating. Bumblebee had put some food aside for her missing teammate, figuring he would be out soon. She was just finishing up the cooking and putting a plate together for herself when the door flew open with a swish and her Atlantean teammate rushed into the room, his face panicked. His hand was covering his cheek as he quickly made his way over to the team.

"Hola señor Aqualad!" The twins greeted in unison, before continuing to shovel food into their little mouths. Superspeed meant a supercharged metabolism, which meant those two little bodies ate a lot of food. Between them and two other teenage boys, Bumblebee seemed to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Usually she was given help, except after particularly hard days of training, where the boys would complain on the couch until they were fed.

"What's the matter, Fishface? Did you have the dream about the beached whale again?" Speedy joked while reaching for the eggs. Bumblebee looked up from her plate and noticed the look on the Atlantean's face. She met him halfway and spoke quietly in a concerned tone.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

The desperate look he sent her only raised her curiosity. He began to explain his problem, but his voice was slightly stuttering and shaky.

"I-I don't know! I woke up and there was just this...thing on my face! And-and I think I broke it..I'm not sure, I've never seen anything like it."

"Alright, calm down. It's probably nothing. Now, let me see," She reached for his wrist and slowly pulled his hand away from his cheek so she could examine his face. The spot was no longer white, but now the skin around it was slightly red and swollen. She smiled softly at the boy, before dropping his wrist. Before she could speak, Speedy popped out from seemingly thin air behind her, piece of bacon in hand.

"You know you got a zit, right?" He said, pointing at the other boy's cheek before eating half the bacon in one bite. Bumblebee rolled her eyes and shoved him away. Aqualad look confused.

"A what?" Bumblebee sighed.

"A zit. It's just a little one. Don't worry about it, everybody gets them. It'll go away in a few days." She told him reassuringly. He slowly nodded, comprehending everything that she had just told him. Many questions flooded his mind and he went ahead and asked one.

"How did I get it?" The dark-skinned girl grabbed her food as well as the plate she had made for Aqualad and took them to the table with the others, motioning for the boy to follow. Speedy also followed her and all three sat down next to the twins. She thought for a moment before returning to his question.

"Well, there's multiple causes for them. Hormones, stress, diet-"

"Diet! That has to be it! All the grease and fat and oil from the food I've been eating since I moved up here!"

"It's possible" Bumblebee replied.

"So what are you going to do about it? You can't just not eat; not with the workouts the Queen Bee puts us through." Speedy asked, shooting a glance at his female teammate and leader as he mentioned her. The entire table had their eyes focused on Aqualad, waiting for him to reply. He seemed to be deep in thought, trying to come up with a solution. Suddenly, a metaphorical light bulb appeared over his head and his face lit up.

"I know! I'll just go back to my old diet!"

"Which was?" Bee inquired.

"Uh, mostly seaweed." The rest of the team's faces shot him a disgusted looks.

"Dude, ew." Speedy commented.

"Is that all Atlanteans eat? Seaweed?" Bumblebee asked, curious once again. Aqualad shook his head.

"No, actually most Atlanteans do eat fish. Raw fish, obviously. But, uh, due to a...bad experience, I choose not to do so." Aqualad replied, paling slightly at the memory. As a child, he was friends with a small flounder named Charlie. One day, he ate Charlie's brother. Talk about traumatizing for all involved. He vowed that he would never eat a sea creature ever again, and he has kept that vow for nearly twelve years.

"Don't think you're not going to tell me this story one day, because you are." Speedy announced, eyeing the Atlantean.

"And besides the fact that it sounds disgusting, we have way too many resources up here for you to only be eating seaweed. How much would you even have to eat? That stuff can't be calorically dense." The archer continued.

"For once, I actually agree with him. You're going to need more protein than some ocean grass can provide if you want to recover from training with me," Bumblebee added. Speedy's masked eyes widened in surprised as she agreed with him and his mouth turned into a smirk.

"Well, I'm not going to keep eating like this if it is going to cause my skin to blow up." Aqualad argued.

"I think you mean "break out"...but maybe you're both right..." Bee trailed off, a knowing and evil smirk appearing on her face.

The boys all exchanged glances that said 'well, this can't be good' and audibly gulped before turning their attention back to their only female teammate. She stood up to address the young team.

"I'm going to go throw out the junk food in the tower. I think it's time we all went Paleo"

So for those of you that don't know, Paleo is also known as the "caveman diet" so you only eat that basically come from nature, or in a sense, you can only eat something if a caveman could've eaten it. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. I would appreciate a review if you have the 30 seconds to spare.
