13 WAYS TO ANNOY AQUALAD
1. Ask him if he has ever met 'The Little Mermaid.'
It was one of those rare days, when everyone, including the villains, chose to take the day off. That meaning there was no training or any missions for the team. The team decided to spend the day at the Happy Harbor Mall, team bonding if you will.
The five teens walked into the Disney store, as per Megan's request/demand. The two females of the team and Conner walked off to explore the store further, and Robin did his ninja thing and disappeared, leaving only Kaldur and Wally. The two boys, not about to be discouraged, decided to do some exploring of their own. After seeing a flash of red, green, and purple, Wally decided to ask…
"Kal, there are mermaids in Atlantis right?"
"Yes, Wally. There are mermaids and mermen in Atlantis," Aqualad replied slightly perplexed at the strange question.
"So have you ever met Ariel before?" Wally asked holding up a doll with red hair, a purple seashell bra, and a green mermaid's tail. Kaldur deciding not to verbally answer his friend's question merely shook his head 'no', and set off to find the rest of the Young Justice team.
2. Ask to play with his water bearers
The team was spending the day training. The five member of the team were all doing their own thing. Kid Flash was running laps around the track without using his super speed. Artemis was shooting arrows at moving targets. Miss Martian and Superboy were sparring in the center of the room. Robin was swinging around the room on his retractable grappling Batarang. Lastly, Aqualad was practicing with his water bearers.
Taking a breather, the Atlantian did not notice the youngest member of the team walk over to where he was standing. He still did not notice him standing behind him until he asked…
"Hey, Kal, Can I try a few moves with your water bearers?"
3. If he says no, take them anyway
Aqualad, not expecting anyone to be behind him jumped in surprise. Turning around he was met with masked eyes. Getting over his shock, he thought over the previously asked question. He responded with a quick "no" and a "we really must be getting back to training."
Robin, deciding not to take 'no' for an answer, took action. As soon as Kaldur turned his back, the Boy Wonder got a running start before jumping up and doing a flip over the unsuspecting Atlantian, while managing to grab hold of his water bearers in the process. Once both feet were on the ground the younger sprinted out of the training room, water bearers in hand.
4. When no water blades come out say, "I must not be using the force."
Coming to a halt in front of the zeta tubes, Robin carefully inspected the Atlantian's weapons of choice. They were like swords with no blades leaving only the hilts. Robin's head snapped up upon hearing the approaching footsteps of his friend. Thinking it would be a good idea to try out the weapons before they were taken away.
Robin knew how to use a sword, among many other weapons, thanks to all his training with Batman. It was then that Robin realized he had to be Atlantian to summon the water blades. At the exact moment Robin came to this conclusion, Kaldur had caught up with him.
"I must not be using the force," stated the Boy Wonder. Kaldur could only stare with an eyebrow raised in confusion. Then the younger held up the bearers as if he were presenting them while slightly bowing and saying "May the force be with you, Kaldur'ahm." Once Kaldur took the his weapons out of Robin's hands, the latter sidestepped the former and ran back to the training room with his familiar yet creepy cackle echoing in the halls of Mt. Justice, leaving Aqualad confused and slightly annoyed at the younger's antics.
5. Follow him around singing 'Under the Sea' from The Little Mermaid.
To say the least, Wally was bored. He had absolutely nothing to do. Whenever he was bored, he always turned to his best friend, Robin, for something to do, but alas, Robin was not at the cave that day. The thirteen year old was at home in Gotham recovering from his encounter with Joker the night before, nursing two broken ribs and a slight concussion.
Upon seeing Aqualad walking in to the main room, Wally remembered their time at the Disney Store in the Happy Harbor Mall. That was when he got his idea of how to get over his boredom. Wally began to pop up randomly wherever Kaldur was, singing (in a Jamaican accent and very much off key)…
"Under the sea, Under the sea, Darling it's better, Down where it's wetter, Take it from me, Up on the shore they work all day, Out in the sun they slave away, While we devotin', Full time to floatin', Under the sea!"
6. Compare him to Luke Skywalker.
Somehow, the team ended up agreeing to have a movie marathon one weekend, when the entire team was to be staying at the cave. Too bad that was the only thing they agreed on, up until Conner chose to decide what they were to watch. He chose to watch the entire DVD collection of Star Wars movies. He had heard some kids at school talking nonstop about the movies and wanted to know what all the hype was about.
By the end of the marathon, Aqualad finally understood what Robin meant when he said, 'may the force be with you.' The team then decided to have a group conversation. Somehow, it went from talking about past mission and the week's happenings to comparing Aqualad to Luke Skywalker. It seemed as if the only purpose of the conversation was to annoy him.
7. Eat fish tacos, and then apologize to him for eating his friends.
Dinnertime had just rolled around at the cave. Megan decided to try out a new recipe, for fish tacos, she had found online earlier that day. Taking out the ingredients, pans and bowls required for prepping dinner she set off to work. It did not take long until the fish was grilled to perfection, shredded in a bowl, and the taco shells were fried to a crisp sitting on top of a paper towel covered plate.
Pilling some chopped up fish into the taco shell and dabbing on some tartar sauce, the resident Martian took a bite sampling her creation. Just then, Aqualad entered the kitchen.
"I see dinner is ready. What will we be having tonight?"
"Oh, Aqualad, we'll be having fish tacos." she replied after swallowing what she had left in her mouth. Realizing her mistake she face palmed. "Hello, Megan! Kaldur can't eat fish. I am so very sorry if I ate one of your friends by mistake!" she apologized. The Atlantian quickly retreated out of the kitchen muttering something about getting takeout.
8. Ask him "If you're Luke Skywalker, does that make Black Manta, Darth Vader?"
Aqualad and Nightwing were standing in front of the holographic memorial of Tula in in the grotto of Mt. Justice. The two young men had just finished discussing their plans to bring down The Light from the inside, via Aqualad. They shook hands in agreement.
"So… Black Manta really is your father." Nightwing stated.
"Yes he is indeed my father," replied Aqualad.
"So if you're Luke Skywalker does that make Black Manta, Darth Vader? So, did he go up to you "Chuhh, chuhh, Kaldur'ahm, I am you father!" or something like that."
"Nightwing," the questioned man said in an exasperated tone of voice.
9. Buy him a pet fish.
Conner had nothing to do. He would have stayed and watched Megan's cheerleading practice, but it was a team only practice, meaning no visitors welcome. While walking back home, he passed by a pet store. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to look inside. He looked at the many animal displays ranging from kittens to iguanas. When he stared into one of the many fish tanks, he thought of Aqualad, and decided to buy one for him.
As soon as he made it back to the cave, Conner sought out Kaldur. He found the Atlantian in the training room. He held up the clear plastic bag that contained a bright orange goldfish in front of the others face.
"I bought this for you."
10. When he stares at the fish, ask him if they are having a telepathic conversation.
Kaldur did not know how to respond. Superboy still held the bag up to his face. He could do anything else but stare at the fish in confusion. Inside the bag was a bright orange goldfish.
Superboy started to get just a little uncomfortable with Aqualad's silence. Then he asked the only logical question that he could think of, "Are you having a telepathic conversation with the fish?" he asked bluntly, in the way that only he could.
"No, I am not. I think I will get a bowl for my new friend." he replied while taking the clear plastic bag from Superboy, and walking to the kitchen.
11. Ask him if he has a fish army.
Artemis was all smiles and giggles. The reason for that being, that she had her wisdom teeth pulled out that morning. Her mother had not been able to stay home and take care of her, so now; she was sitting on the couch in Mount Justice drugged up on pain medication.
Unfortunately, for Kaldur, he chose that moment to look for something to drink. It was too late for him to backtrack and walk out of the room for the blonde haired female had spotted him and waved him over to where she was sitting, more like laying, on the couch.
"Hey, Kaldur," Artemis slurred.
"Hello friend," Kaldur greeted.
"I was wondering, do you happen to have a fish army by any chance?" the blonde haired teen questioned in a serious tone. Aqualad felt his left eye twitch.
12. Demand that he summon said fish army.
"Artemis, I do not have an army of fish." he replied calmly, remembering that she was only acting that way because of her pain medication.
"Liar," the blonde haired female shouted while pointing a slim finger in his face. "You just don't want to introduce me to your fish army," she ended with a pout.
"Artemis," he started, but was cut off by the gray-eyed girl.
"Kaldur'ahm, I demand that you summon your fish army this instant, to do my evil bidding!" the blonde archer shouted, with a look in her eyes that said there would be lots of pain if he did not do what she said. The frightened teen stood up and walked to his room in the cave, his left eye twitching violently.
13. Replace all the bottled waters or the pool water with salt water, and blame it on Aqualad.
"So… did you really do it, man?" questioned the redhead of the team.
"Of course I did it. I said I would, didn't I?" the raven-haired teen shot back.
Artemis, tired, sweaty, and thirsty, walked in to the kitchen area. Ignoring the two boys lounging on the couch, she headed straight for the refrigerator. Pulling open the fridge door then promptly closing it after getting bottled water. Leaning against the countertop and chugging down almost the whole bottle before spitting it all over the kitchen appliances. She then proceeded to wash out her mouth under the tap.
"Did you see the distance on that," the younger of the two boys exclaimed.
"Dang, Arty, you took the whole kitchen a bath!" the older exclaimed at the same time.
"Why did you two do that," the only girl in the room at the time shouted the two resident pranksters.
"What did we do," the boys questioned in unison with confused faces.
"You two put salt in the bottled waters." the archer accused.
"Why would we do that?" the ginger countered.
"Uhh, Arty," the teen with the dark sunglasses spoke. "Who's the only one that would benefit from salt water?"
"KALDUR," yelled the very angry archer, while running out of the room searching for said boy.
"So we're going to your house?"
"Why does it have to be my house?"
"Don't answer a question with a question, and your house because no one knows your secret identity. So she won't find us when she figures out it wasn't Kaldur."
"Right, that wouldn't be so asterous, heavy on the dis."
"Stop slaughtering the English language!"
"Never," with that said, more like shouted, he ran off to the zeta tubes doing his creepy cackle the entire way.
