The Day I Turned into a T-Rex...Oops!

Written by Beast Boy of the Teen Titans on Sat Oct 21 2023

Yo, what's up peeps? Beast Boy here, reporting live from the land of shapeshifting and epic adventures. So, let me tell you about this one time when I totally messed up big time. Like really big time. Buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be a wild ride!

The Great Shapeshifting Mishap

It all started on a sunny day in Jump City. The Titans were chilling at the Tower after yet another victorious battle against some baddies (we always come out on top!). As usual, I was feeling pretty restless and needed an adrenaline rush to keep my green blood pumping.

With Cyborg by my side (the dude is practically glued to me), we decided to hit the training room for some friendly competition. Now you know that rivalry between us Titans can get intense sometimes – it’s like trying to settle who gets dibs on pizza toppings! But hey, that’s just part of our charm.

Into the Wild

So there we were in the training room: me as Beast Boy and Cyborg as his metallic self ready for action-packed awesomeness! We went head-to-head with every obstacle course imaginable; climbing walls like Spider-Man or dodging lasers like Neo from 'The Matrix'. Man oh man was it exhilarating!

But then...disaster struck.

In my excitement-filled frenzy (and maybe due to excessive caffeine intake), I accidentally transformed into a T-Rex mid-leap! Yeah, you heard that right – T-Rex mode activated without any warning or consent whatsoever.

A Walk on Four Legs

Being stuck as a ginormous dino had its perks though - people definitely noticed! Suddenly everyone around stopped dead in their tracks with jaws dropped wide open (including yours truly). Alrighty then…so much for blending in!

Before long chaos ensued throughout Titan Tower...papers flying everywhere while Starfire tried her hardest not to freak out. Robin, being the responsible leader he is, immediately sprang into action, barking orders at everyone to evacuate and find cover.

Oops! Did I Do That?

I tried my best to calm down and reverse this colossal transformation. But hey, sometimes things don't go according to plan (especially when you're a shapeshifting green bean). My attempts only seemed to make matters worse – now I was stuck as an even bigger T-Rex!

The whole Tower had become too small for me; it felt like a teacup ride at some amusement park. And let's not forget about all those decorations that got trampled under my gigantic feet...oopsie daisy!

Raven: The Voice of Reason

Amidst all the chaos and destruction, there she was - Raven with her usual deadpan expression trying hard not to roll her eyes (she totally failed though). She looked straight into my enormous dinosaur eyes and said in her typical monotone voice,

"Beast Boy, could you please try shifting back?"

Oh boy! If only it were that easy! Trust me peeps; if there was a "shapeshifting for dummies" book lying around somewhere nearby…I would've read every page by now.

But instead of giving up like any normal person would do (because come on guys…where’s the fun in that?), I decided to embrace this newfound Jurassic identity – after all who wouldn’t want their own pet T-Rex?

Tyrannosaurus Wrecked

With each step causing tremors throughout Jump City streets below us (sorry citizens), Cyborg took charge of crowd control while Robin contacted Bumblebee for backup support.

As we made our way through town (as much as one can when they’re twice the size of Godzilla), I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe mixed with guilt seeing people flee from their homes. But hey, life as a Titan is all about saving the day – even if it means accidentally demolishing half the city!

The Calm After the Transformation

Finally, after what felt like an eternity (it was actually just a couple hours), I managed to regain control over my shapeshifting powers and transformed back into good ol' Beast Boy. And boy oh boy did I feel relieved! It was like stepping out of handcuffs or getting your favorite pizza delivery right on time.

With Robin's stern but understanding look (you know...that "I told you so" expression), he reminded me that every mistake we make helps us grow stronger as individuals and as a team. Deep down, though he may not always show it, our fearless leader really does care about each one of us Titans.

Lesson Learned

So what did I learn from this epic transformation mishap? Well peeps: accidents happen; mistakes are made – especially when you're dealing with superpowers beyond human comprehension. But instead of dwelling on them or beating ourselves up over them, we gotta rise above 'em and keep moving forward.

Sure, being stuck in T-Rex mode wasn't exactly how I planned to spend my day (or anyone else's for that matter). Yet through all the chaos and destruction caused by my dino-sized blunder, it brought our team closer together than ever before (and gave Starfire some serious material for her next journal entry).

Wrapping Up

Alrighty then folks! That concludes today’s wild adventure featuring yours truly transforming into a rampaging T-Rex...by accident of course! Life at Titan Tower never gets boring - whether battling baddies or causing unintentional mayhem while training with Cyborg.

Remember peeps: embrace your flaws because they’re part of what makes you unique. And if you happen to transform into something ginormous along the way, just roll with it! As for me, I'll keep mastering my shapeshifting powers and hopefully avoid any more accidental dino-sized catastrophes.

Until next time, stay green and always be ready to unleash your inner beast (
