A/N: This is based on that crappy game show on Animal Planet (which, since I have to point this out anyway, I do not own). Don't own Teen Titans, either—if I did it wouldn't be half as good.
When you are reviewing, by all means, critique me! If you have something to say about it, then say it. I'll pay attention.
Well, except pairing requests. This story will have practically nothing to do with pairings.

Who Gets the Dog?

Beast Boy was proud of himself. He had some great news for the rest of the team; thus, in order to get everyone together, the only practical thing to do was to sound the emergency alarm.

His colleagues came crashing into the lobby instinctively, expecting the call to announce some kind of trouble. But when the first thing Robin saw was Beast Boy awaiting them with a smug grin on his face he glowered at the changeling. "We've been over this, Beast Boy," he growled. "The emergency alarm is solely for emergency purposes."

Beast Boy pretended that he didn't hear them and went into a dramatic explanation as to why he had alerted his friends. "My fellow Titans!" he began. "Two weeks from this very day, I had come across a show on TV that caught my eye instantly."

"In that case, please spare us the details," Raven interrupted.

"IT WAS ABOUT three families who competed for the ownership of a cute, loveable dog!" Beast Boy continued loudly, yet not dropping his dramatic airs. While saying this, he held out a TV guide opened to a page with an ad for the said show; it displayed a picture of a family circling a small white dog with excruciatingly happy expressions on their faces. "So, after about two good minutes of consideration, I applied all of US to compete for our own loyal companion!"

"You WHAT!" Robin yelped. "Beast Boy, in case you haven't gotten the memo, there are no pets allowed in the Tower!"

"Yeah," Beast Boy replied irritably, "but you let Starfire keep her maggot."

"Silkie is a very special pet Earth organism!" Starfire retaliated. "I have raised him since his young maggothood!"

"And you've been using that excuse every single time you've dragged another pet in," Cyborg added. "Remember that family of ducks? And that kidnapped jaguar?"

"And remember about two months ago when you adopted a child?" Raven added.

"This is different!" Beast Boy insisted. "This time I'm warning you ahead of time! Anyway, this morning we got a callback, and—"

"Oh, don't tell me…" Robin groaned.

"—we're in! We're going to compete for a puppy!"

Robin was steaming. "You hardly warned us if you already got a callback! Why didn't you at least consult us?"

"Because I knew that you would say no," Beast Boy answered carelessly. "I really want a new pet. Besides…I need a playmate." He transformed into a little green puppy and whined pathetically.

The other four Titans stared down at him. "Well…look on the bright side," Cyborg said cautiously. At least with a dog BB will have something to keep him busy…"

"And if I have the permission to keep Silkie then it would only be far to allow him a companion of his own," Starfire contributed.

"And…" Raven paused while the others looked at her expectantly. "…as much as I hate to admit it, two minutes is the longest time that he's taken to think about anything." She, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy turned to Robin.

Seeing that he was vastly outnumbered, the Boy Wonder groaned in defeat. "All right," he muttered. "If we get the dog we can keep it."

Beast Boy morphed back into his human form. "That's the spirit!" he cheered, clapping Robin's back. The latter Titan ground his teeth together in silent agony.

Raven suddenly realized her error in her contributed defense for Beast Boy's stance. "Even if we get to keep it," she said, "I don't have to play with it…or touch it…or have anything to do with it."

"Aw, but you're gonna love him, Ray!" Beast Boy insisted. "The producers of the show say that he's downright loveable."

"Maybe by their standards." Raven levitated herself and exited through the sliding doors.

"When do we meet the dog?" Cyborg asked quickly at the disappointed look on the changeling's face.

"In two days," Beast Boy answered. "The host of the show is going to bring him over in the afternoon. She didn't tell me what kind of dog it is, though."

"Man, I hope it's a Great Dane!" Cyborg said excitedly. "Those dogs are the symbol for power! And they have really cute faces, too," he added to himself.

"I wonder if he'll like my tofu burgers?"

"No way, BB. Dogs eat real meat."

"You never know, Cyborg! You never know."

End of chapter one.

CHAPTER TWO: The Titans meet the potential new addition to their residence—but what kind of crazy tasks will the host have them do? And will everybody take kindly to the dog's overnight stay?
