So, I haven't written anything for a VERY long time. I decided maybe a one-shot series with one of those 100 words things would help me get back in the habit of it. I decided to do a Beast Boy series because quite frankly he's the most awesome character ever. Feel free to give advice or correct mistakes.

Some will be short, some long. Depends. I'm not going in order. Also, this first one isn't funny, so sorry about that. I'm starting with something light, but don't expect most of them to be like that. I like things intense. Ha.

81. Joke

"Hey Raven! Wanna hear a joke?"

"Beast Boy, do I ever want to hear a joke?"

"…yes?"

"No."

"Well, can I tell you one anyway?"

Raven sighed. She knew that the conversation would go on forever if she didn't give in. "Fine. Tell your joke."

"Ok, why are fish salesmen greedy?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"Because their business makes them sel-FISH! Get it? Fish!"

Beast Boy burst out laughing while Raven rolled her eyes and went back to her book. Shocked by the lack of laughter on her end, Beast Boy stopped.

"Hey, it was funny."

Irritated, Raven closed her book again. "No, it wasn't."

"Yes it was!"

"No, it wasn't."

"Fine, let me try a different one."

"No!"

Beast Boy frowned. "You never like my jokes. I bet you couldn't tell a joke."

Raven paused for a minute. "I could. If I wanted to."

"Fine, then do it."

"Alright. If you insist." Raven paused for a moment, thinking. "This one's perfect for you. Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?"

Beast Boy grinned. Raven was actually telling him a joke! He was pretty sure that was like some kind of record or something. If it made sense for something like that to be a record.

"I don't know, why?"

"Because he was dead."

"…..That wasn't funny, Raven."

"Neither are the jokes you tell. Now leave me alone."

"Fine. But I'm not giving up on finding something to make you laugh!" Beast Boy then got up and left in a huff.

Raven picked up her book again, glad to have something there to hide her tiny smile.

I know the whole Beast Boy-getting-Raven-to-smile thing is overdone, but I wanted to start with something light. I'll try to be more original in my next ones. I just didn't want to write some of my other ideas yet because some of them get kind of intense, and I'd like to think about them a bit more.
