[action, downtown Mayfield]
[People are, by now, perhaps accustomed to seeing strange green animals that had no business wandering around a 1950s neighborhood doing exactly that.

They may not, however, be accustomed to seeing lumbering green stegosauri being used as large billboards.]

Do you want to be a superhero? You, too, can save countless lives by joining the awesome cool superhero team, the Teen Titans! Auditions Saturday 7/26, 1124 Taylor, all day!

~When there's trouble, you know who to caaaaall - TeEn tItANs!!
Mayfield sucks, but we're still standing taaaaaall - TEEN TITANS!!!
We'll beat up Zemekis once and for all.
Then we'll have a buncha tofu dogs...zall
'Cause when the - wait does it still need to rhyme with 'all'? How did this go again? Who even wrote this thing?

I mean, uh. Friends! Mayfieldians! Countrymen! Lend me your video games! This is your chance to shine; that's right, you heard me. For a limited time, you, too, can join the prestigious Jump City based superhero team, the Teen Titans! You don't even hafta be a teen, we'll totally take anyone. The only requirements are that you wanna kick Mayfield's butt. ...And you've gotta be really cool. And if anyone wants to codename themselves Robin, Starfire, Raven, or Cyborg and wear these special costumes I made, that's fine, too. Auditions will be this Saturday at 1124 Taylor, all day.

Oh, and Cain and Terra, you guys're totally my other two judges. I'm the nice guy and Terra's the girl, so Cain, you've gotta be the mean one.

[action, park]
[Beast Boy can be found later that day in the park with what appears to be... a smiling Raven. The apocalypse is surely nigh.]

Hey, Raven. Why do ducks quack?

Gee, Garfield! I don't know!

Sh! I said, call me Beast Boy.

OK, Garfield!

Ugh, no, whatever. Look, they quack 'cause they get all quacked up by my jokes.

Hahahahaha! You're so funny, Garfield! Tell me more!

......Yeah, no, this is totally not gonna work.

[And whenever he gets rid of the drone, Beast Boy sighs a little and sits by the edge of the pond, throwing in little rocks.]

Park

[imstillhere]

[Hey Beast Boy, why so sad?

Jim was flying overhead when he heard your conversation, pfft, Garfield? Whatevs, he see's the green kid now sitting by the pond and Jim is just flying over the water on his AWESOME SOLAR BOARD THANKS, and stop in front him.]

Hey there, Garfield, what's up?

[thebeastwithout]

Gaaah!

[Beast Boy pops into a turtle and spins around in the air for a few moments before reverting to normal.]

Geez, don't say it so loud! Where did you hear that name?!

[imstillhere]

Overheard that drone there saying it while I was flying.

[Just gonna grin.]

Anyways, what's up with you?

[thebeastwithout]

Dude. OK, look. If we're gonna be friends, we've gotta set some rules.

Rule one: Don't ever say that name.
Rule two: ...Uh. Um. ...Don't be hating on the green.
Rule three: Actually I don't usually do this because no one ever finds out my name so I guess we're cool.

[imstillhere]

Friends huh? Yeah okay. Fine I won't call you Garfield anymore. Also, got no problem with the green skin. Kind of used to stuff like that. Aliens coming to my family's in and all.

[Flying over the ground, he taps a button under his foot which retracts the sail and lands the board softly on the ground.]

So, gonna tell me what's wrong or what?

[thebeastwithout]

Huh.

Do they drink mustard outta the bottle too?

[Beast Boy tries not to look enviously at the flying skateboard thing as he glances away.]

Wrong? Whaddaya mean? Everything's totally peachy, 'cept for you finding out my name and all.

Maybe I should ask people to call me Logan. That sounds kinda like a superhero name.

[imstillhere]

No, they drink purp juice and stuff like that though.

[Why would they drink mustard?]

Hm, really? Didn't look like it. Seems pretty weird to hang out with a drone when they don't do much.

[Just gonna pick up his solar board and lean against it.]

Yeah, Logan's pretty cool.

[thebeastwithout]

Hahaha...! Just, uh. Testing out my jokes.

Hey, why did the aardvark cross the road?

[imstillhere]

Right...

[Eyebrow raise.]

Uh...I dunno?

[thebeastwithout]

Because it --

[...]

...Because... Because, uh. .......Shoot. All I remember is Raven's dumb answer.

[imstillhere]

That's her name? Was she a friend or something?

[thebeastwithout]

Nah. ...Well, yeah, I mean, a friend, too, but she was my teammate.

[imstillhere]

Hm, seems rough with her being a drone now...

[thebeastwithout]

...Eh, it's fine.

Robin and Star went, and we kept on going fine. 'S not the end of the world.

[imstillhere]

Hm....

[Doesn't sound very nice though. Wouldn't be fun not having your friends leave you here. But what does Jim know of having friends?

Looking at his solar board and back to Beast Boy, he grins.]

Wanna go for a ride?

[thebeastwithout]

[Harumph. His moped is way cooler.]

...I can fly by myself already. I'm not sad or anything; you don't gotta cheer me up.

[His eyes say maybe. Probably. Yes.]

[imstillhere]

[His Moped can't do awesome tricks in the sky can it?]

Really? Guess you wouldn't want a race or something than. That's fine, I'd win anyways.

[Setting it down, he hits the button opening up the sail. Just climbing onto it now and grabbing hold of the rail on said sail.]

[thebeastwithout]

Hey! Dude. No way that dingy old thing could outpace me.

[imstillhere]

Old!? Hey, I built this! It can totally beat you in a race!

[thebeastwithout]

Even if you've got super-building powers, it's not a match for the great Beast Boy, sorry to say. You're so on.

[imstillhere]

Then better get moving! First one to that ice cream place wins!

[And with that, Jim takes off, zooming through the air. Hey, he didn't say he had to play fair .]

[thebeastwithout]

[So. On. Beast Boy does a running dive and surges into the air as a pterodactyl that screeches good-naturedly. ...Pterodactyls aren't exactly being the champion fliers of the flight-endowed world, though.]

[imstillhere]

[Well, Jim looks back to see the giant creature Beast boy is now. Okay, just going to keep flying, swerving through the air.]

[thebeastwithout]

[This wasn't working out. A flicker and the pterodactyl is replaced by a peregrine falcon that begins to flap as high into the air as it can, gaining altitude but losing distance.]

[imstillhere]

[Jim is looking back, and well he can't really see the giant dinosaur thing anymore. Guess he lost Beast Boy. Still, he's gonna keep flying towards the ice cream place.]
