Disclaimer: No, I don't own anything in this story except the plot, and since it's my first time, it may not be the best. Not my first story ever, mind you, but my first fanfic. My own stories are moderately interesting, but enough about that . . .

Summary: Jynx sends BB and Rae to an alternate universe, and they must cope with the conditions, and try to find a way home. But in the process, will there be something else happening?

It's my first fic, as I mentioned before. So if you don't like it, you can do moderate flames. Though flames may not be responded to.

Snow Drift

The wind howled, snow swirling in the breezes and updrafts.

Visibility was bad. Barely even ten feet, the snow was blowing around so much. Suddenly, the snow on the ground moved.

A gloved hand shot up through the snow, then a green haired boy's head popped up through the snowdrift. "Ugh. Cold." Was all he could think of to say.

Shaking his head vigorously, he tried to shake some of the snow from his hair, but it was promptly replaced with more placed there by the wind.

He growled, and transformed into a wolf. They were at least tolerant of the cold. The wind blew all the harder. Sniffing the air, Beast Boy's eyes went wide. Faint. Ever so faint, was the smell of one of his friends.

Sniffing the air once more, he dashed off upwind, running blindly in the haze. His wolf instincts were howling, along with all the other creatures in his body. No! No! They screamed. You can't give up!! YOU MUST FIND -- Then he saw her.

Raven. Half buried, and not moving.

He was close to panicking. R-Raven?

No response.

No. Please no. He set a paw on the side of her face. There was some warmth, though not enough to keep her alive, at least by herself.

Transforming into a badger, he dung around her. Now she wasn't trapped by the snow, but the wind was whipping up her cape, and her costume was little protection.

Unlike him, she couldn't grow fur on command.

Staying in badger form, he continued to dig. One thought was creeping at the back of his mind, and the scene from a video game might actually save her life.

Flashback

The character was stranded in the middle of a frozen wasteland. As the player, you had to find a way to survive. Beast Boy and Cyborg at the time had concocted a way to survive: dig a hole in the snow. Like an igloo, it sheltered the character and kept them warmer than if they stayed outside in the freezing cold.

End Flashback

BB continued to dig, digging through the snow, and even four or five feet into the ground. Once getting rid of the excess soil from that, he created a great chamber in the bottom, easily ten feet across.

Not bad work, considering he did it in less than twenty minutes.

He transformed into a crocodile, and gently grabbed the tips of her feet. Somehow he instinctively knew that they wouldn't fit side-by-side if he were in human form.

In his crocodile form, his jaws were VERY big. Easily as wide as Raven's shoulder blades.

This was the point. Of course, it would have been really awkward if Raven had woken up when only her head poking out of his mouth, but like this it was relatively easy to heave both of them down the long passage.

Tastes like chicken, he smirked.

Once at the bottom, he gently set her down. He looked her over. Amazingly, he had used his crocodile jaws so gently that there were no scratches on her at all. He couldn't help but give a quick idiotic grin, but she was on the verge of death, and only he could do something about it.

No pressure.

He eased past her, and stepped out into the howling wind. If he gathered wood, he could start a fire. But what to start it with? Searching his pockets, he came up with something ideal.

A mammoth's strength made short work of a dead tree nearby and he managed to find some dry wood on one of the branches.

Morphing one more time into a croc, he pulled the lumber down the passage, and set it in a pile in the middle.

BB pulled out a key. That's right, a metal key, and his cell phone.

He put his foot down on the cell, and set pieces of wood on either side. With his foot as a brace in place, (a/n: it rhymes sweatdrop okay, I'll shut up) he struck the toothed part of the metal key on the back of his cell phone.

Nothing.

Growling again, the weight of Raven's possible death pushed down on his shoulders making him strike faster and faster. FINALLY!!

A spark.

It landed on the wood, and a small fire was born. Letting out a small whoop, BB set it in the opposite corner of the "burrow," and whooped again.

Raven had a chance.

He set about half the wood that he had collected in the fire, while the rest he used to make a criss-crossed barrier in the entrance. It was set up so that the smoke could escape. Cold air would go down, but at least they wouldn't suffocate.

Beast Boy sat next to Raven, putting a hand to her cheek.

Ice cold. Even after all of this, she was only slightly warmer, if at all. He pondered a moment. What was it in the game that you were supposed to remember?

Protection. Check. They were underground.

Warmth. Fire, duh, check.

Body . . . heat . . . no check.

BB gulped. She's gonna kill me when she wakes up.

She won't wake up if you don't. A voice inside his head said.

"Ugh." BB took off her cloak, and set it on the ground away from the fire. He gently pushed her on top of it, and morphed into a snake.

Twenty-odd feet of boa sat, if a snake could, in the burrow. The fire crackled, and he thought of something. Transforming into a wombat, he dug a little more on the side of the burro. No, not a little bit, but a lot a bit.

Pushing the excess dirt near the entrance, the wind was dramatically decreased. While now, they could sit while not being in the path of the wind. Another quick idiotic grin.

Once again a snake, he coiled around Raven, trying not to put that much weight on her. When (and if) she woke up, she wouldn't be able to move, but then again, he would have saved her life.

He coiled lightly around her one last time, and laid his head down as a pillow beneath hers.

Don't worry Raven. You'll be all right. You'd better be, or else I'll . . . I'll . . . But . . . I . . . you . . .

He drifted off to sleep, his thoughts clouding, the only being that mattered to him at that moment warming all the more in his coils.

So . . . . Whadda you think? I AM new to this, but as far as my writings go, this is fairly good. R&R people!! I'm not positive exactly where this is going, except for the obvious romance and the fact that they need to get home.

And for those of you who are really confused about how they got there (and who didn't read the intro) all will be explained in the next chap.

See y'all!!
