(w00h00 xD we are doin' it aren't we? xD)

"I do not wish to wear this ...this peasant suit to this..class." Sarah exclaimed growling. She was wearing the School Girl uniform for the local Side Kicks. Her blueish plaid skirt went to her knees and she had light tan socks bunched up over her brown loafers. A sweater went over her top half.

"You don't really have a choice." Leslie responded rolling her eyes. She was wearing the exact same outfit as Sarah only she didn't feel as pretty as the Princess. "Do you?"

Sarah turned around eyes on fire. "When I wish for an idiots opinion I'll ask for one."

"Excuse me? I am not an idiot. I go to class like I'm suppose to." Leslie shouted back. "You're not a Princess on this planet, Sarah. So stop acting like you are because it's a huge headache."

"Leslie!" Both girls turned around and saw Diana standing there with her arms crossed. "I will not tolerate you giving Sarah you're attidude. She has an excuse for her behavior but you don't."

"But mom-"

"No buts. You be nice to her or else." Diana glared.

Leslie rolled her eyes and shrugged. "Yeh whatever. Come on, Princess."

"Don't touch me." She pulled away.

The two girls continued to bicker as they walked out of the Hall of Justice. Diana slumped into her chair moaning. "Great Athena, this is going to be one long day." She suddenly felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. They started to massage her shoulders slowly. She mmmed and smiled eyes closing. "Aurthor, can we just pretend there aren't any kids and relieve our honey moon again in Atlantis?"

"And miss the cat fight of the century between our daughter and a Princess?" He smirked and helped her out of the chair kissing her. "No way."

"You make it sound so amusing. Aren't you worried about the Princess?"

"Worried? What for?" Aurthor asked looking into the full length mirror that hung on the door out into the hallway. "I'm more worried for Leslie. I think she found herself a match and now she's got to deal with that."

"You really think she could fight Leslie?"

"Do I think? Great Neptune, I know. That little girl has Robin's temper and her own determination all in one- I'm not worried about her fighting skills at all."

"Think we should stop them?" Diana retied his neck tie as she heard two shrieks and a crash outside.

"I only risk my life in saving the world not risking it to stop a school girl fight."

"I swear, just leave me alone!" Sarah shouted.

"I can't. I was told to watch over you and that's what I'm going to do!"

"And if I don't wish for you watch over me then what?"

"Then fine, go off on your own."

"I want Richard!" Sarah screamed. "You are all mean here."

"Then go back to your precious Brother. Because I most certianly don't want you here." Leslie shot back.

Sarah pushed past her and ran smack into Clark Kent. "Um..Super Man.."

"It's Clark. What's wrong?"

"I want to go home."

"Which home?" He knelt down and looked over at Leslie who was fuming over something. "Did she fuss at you?"

Sarah nodded. "I want to go back with Richard."

"Richard is in College. You're not old enough on Earth to go to College." He soothed. "But how about this? I can fly you to Gotham and you can go look at Gotham Acadmey. Richard and Bruce both went there." The man of Steel watched conflicting emotions stir on the young girls face. Then she nodded an ok. "Alright, let me go tell Diana and Aurthor so they won't be looking for you then off we go."

Sarah followed him back into the Hall of Justice not wanting to be with that Wonder Girl alone. She just wanted her brother. "Wait for me. Please don't leave me."

Atop of Super Man's shoulders she saw the city where Bruce and Richard lived. It was Gotham City? Lots of tall buildings, some even looked taller than Metroplis. He landed on a tall building and handed her a mask. "Put this on."

"What why?" She took it and looked at the black eye mask in her hands.

"Because around here hiding your idenity as a Super Hero is important." Superman replied. He walked over to the edge of the building and looked down. "Stay right here. Be right back."

"Um..Ok?" Sarah replied straightening her skirt. Down on the ground the City looked darker and not as happy as Metroplis. Why did her brother live here?

"Well lookie here. What have we got?" Sarah swirled around to see a man with a white face and green hair come down from another building. "Did Bats order a bride?"

"Excuse me? Who are you?" She backed away slightly wide eyed.

The weird man laughed loudly and slapped his knee. "Just perfect. Don't even know who I am. Why my dear, I am the Joker."

"What a silly name." Sarah replied. "Why are you up here?"

"Causing problems, ripping people off, throwing pranks at people, it's a joy and a thrill!" The Joker exclaimed hopping up and down giggling like a mad man.

"That doesn't seem like fun."

"Oh but it is." He walked over to her and lifted her chin. "It's tons of fun!"

"Joker. Hands off." The voice. She turned around as he let go and saw a shadow of Batman up on the building above them. "You're free from Jail for now but that doesn't mean I can stalk you."

The Joker crossed his arms and did a little jig dancing over to Batman. "Oh but Bats, I was just introducing your little mail-order-bride to Gotham City."

"Oh joy." Batman replied getting a batterang ready.

"You need to lighten up a bit. Smiling is Healthy but I guess not for human Bats." The Joker jumped back when Batman growled. "Yeow. Ok I get the point. Ok well, girly I'm off. If he bores you just yell and I'll kidnap you!" He started to laugh again and bounced off into the darkness.

"Sarah, are you alright? I'm sorry he bothered you." Batman walked out of the shadows and his costume turned back to the navy blue she was accostumed to. She stared up at him for a bit not quite sure if that man she just saw scare off that Joker man was the Batman she knew. "No need to be scared. I only act like that around Villians."

"Are there a lot around Gotham?"

"Yes, unfortuantely. Superman told me you wanted to check out Gotham Academy? Didn't like the other school?" He crossed his arms leaning agaisnt the giant light that branded the bat signal on it.

"No- I never attended." Her head dropped and she shrugged. "That Wonder Girl and I just don't get along and she doesn't like me. I want to be near Richard."

"Sarah, please don't worry about Leslie. She has a few problems with her temper. It comes with being part Amazon. The other problem would be that she likes Robin or Richard a lot and for the longest time she's had him to herself, or so she's thought. Now someone new has stepped in and she's having to fight for what she had before, understand?" He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I sort of understand, Batman. But I do wish to look at this other school."

"There is one problem with Gotham Schools versus that Special School. Juniper High is specially made for Side Kicks who can't fit in to the real world. Many of them if not all of them have powers like the other Super Friends. Gotham Schools are not equipped for that."

"But you sent Richard to Gotham Academy."

"Yes, but I'd rather have sent the Lad to Juniper. But I'll let you choose."

"Thank you." She smiled at him.

"Put that mask on and I'll try and get you out of here before anyone sees you."

"Kay?" She struggled with the mask but finally got it on and smiled at Batman again. "Well how do I look?"

Batman felt his breath get caught. She looked like Dick had when he was much younger. "It looks natural on you. Well hang on to me."

"What why?"

"Ever flown before?"

"I'm sorry?" She blinked wrapping her arms around his neck. A loud noise popped and she watched a rope with a hook fly out towards the next building.

"Here we goo!"

"AAAAH!" Sarah clung burying her face into his shoulder.

Batman smiled warmly as he jumped from building to building. He was going to enjoy this day. It was like having a young Robin again.
