Animal Enough

"Dude, dude, I need to talk to you!" Beast Boy said, banging on the steel door of his best friend's room. "It's a code red, class one emergency!!" Anybody who was listening, of which Cyborg was the only one, then they could have heard the stress in his voice. "Damn it, open up, you bucket of bolts!!"

The door opened up without Beast Boy realizing it, causing him to bang several times on his friend's metal chest. When he realized it, the green changeling just rushed inside the door, leaving Cy to wonder what was such a problem. He watched as Beast Boy paced back and forth, hands flying around his body in agitation. 'I haven't seen BB like this since he tried to work up the courage to ask out Raven,' the mechanical hero thought to himself. "Yeah, yeah, okay. You're in. Now what?" he asked aloud, sitting down on his metal table/bed.

"Raven wants to adopt!" Beast Boy finally struggled himself to say, a look of insanity crossing his green face as his hands pulled on his hair.

"Whoa, wait. What?" Cyborg said, mind -both organic and cybernetic- briefly blanking in shock. "What do you mean adopt? As in Brad and Angelina adoption or Madonna adoption?" He couldn't believe it. They've only be going out for a couple of months. It was way too early, way WAY too early, to be thinking about kids.

"No, not like that," Beast Boy said, slumping down against one of Cy's many computer mainframes. "She wants to get a..." He shuddered, trying to say what the problem was. "She wants to adopt a p-p-pet..."

Cyborg just stared at his friend, trying to process what the problem was with getting a pet. He couldn't contain it any longer and burst out laughing, holding his sides to keep them from splitting. "R-Raven wants t-to adopt a p-pet?" he asked between laughs, one eye closed in hilarity. "I'm sorry, man, but what's the big problem with that?"

Beast Boy just stared at the big man. "What's the problem?! WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?!?!" he yelled, jumping onto his feet, hands clenched into tight fists. "The problem is: AM I NOT ANIMAL ENOUGH FOR HER?!?!"
