A/N: Hello everyone! This is a AU and my take on the movie She's the Man, YJ style! I couldn't help but notice nobody else had done it yet so I decided it had to be done for the good of mankind.
Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice or the movie She's the Man.
Artemis gaped at the blonde man from her place at the living room entrance. "Dad! But you promised me!"
There was the scuffling sound of her father making his way out of the kitchen holding a large can of beer. "Sorry baby girl, but most promises men make are always broken." He sneered and flicked on the television, sitting himself down in his worn out couch, he didn't look at her as he added, "Remember that as daddy's tip on life."
"You can't do this to me!" She exclaimed and stomped her foot to show her annoyance.
Lawrence smirked in such a condescending way, Artemis had to refrain from fly kicking him in the face. "I just did baby girl," his eyes drifted to her before returning to the soccer game blaring through his small T.V. "Now run along to your mothers house, she should be expecting you. Wouldn't want her to worry that I've kidnapped you, now would we?"
Artemis glared at him. Turning on her heels she picked up her rucksack full of clothes and stomped towards the front door, but not before pulling a face directed to the back of his head.
"I'll see you next weekend, princess." He called out, taking a swig of the amber liquid just before she slammed the door on her way out.
Lawrence Crock was a weapons grade asshole. It was hard to believe she actually shared the same genetics as that pig. God, no wonder why her mom left him.
All she wanted to do in life was play soccer. It was her biggest dream, to be able to play on her fathers team along side her boyfriend, Cameron. Was that too much to freakin' ask?
Unfortunately for Artemis, her dad A.K.A. 'Sportsmaster' was a sexist prick and didn't think she should take part in such a "manly" sport. He thought she wasn't good enough and should stick to playing dress up like a real 'lady', just like her mother continuously pushed her into doing, by wearing hideous dresses and attending any debutant meetings or parties.
Thing is, that shit just wasn't Artemis, no matter how much Paula wants it to happen.
She couldn't blame her mother, the poor woman was lonely, divorced (although Artemis couldn't help but think it was the best thing for her) and was barely managing to raise two children. She's just trying to do what she thinks is best for her only daughter, since her twin brother Apollo, likes to rebel and do whatever he pleases, which always ends up leaving their mom in pieces.
He was a total moron, but she couldn't help but love him.
With a sigh, she unlocked the pine green jeep her mom bought for her eighteenth birthday last month, and slid onto the leather seat, placing her bag on the passenger side. She jammed the key into the ignition and sped off down the road, heading for her mothers house in Gotham City.
"Mom?" Artemis called out as she entered the foyer of their large house, shrugging off her coat and kicking off her black boots. "I'm home!"
"Artemis, honey, I'm in the living room," her mothers raspy voice drifted down the hall. After she hung her coat in the wardrobe and moved her shoes neatly by the door, she joined her mother.
Then groaned at the sight before her.
The dark haired woman was sat in her wheelchair, holding a salmon pink dress, every inch of it covered in ruffles. She flashed Artemis a hopeful smile as she shook the disgusting thing in front of her.
"I am not wearing that ghastly thing." She deadpanned, crossing her arms over her chest. "Mom, you know I have a no ruffles policy."
Her mother's face dropped into a frown, at the same time she placed the dress neatly in her lap.
"I'm sorry, but it seriously looks like Dr. Zoidberg took one look and up chucked all over it."
Paula opened her mouth to argue, but was cut of as her brother came sliding down the banister, landing with a loud thump.
"I totally agree with little sis, that is an awful color, and definitely doesn't suit her complexion." He murmured and slung his arm around her shoulders, grinning like the cheshire cat.
Wait a second. Apollo was siding with her? Usually on one of the rare occasions he did, it always ended with her doing him a huge favour. She stared at him with a sceptical look. He winked. Artemis gave him a look that said "I don't trust you" before distastefully removing his arm.
"Artemis, just do this one thing for your mother, please?" Paula asked as she ran her hands over the pink silk in adoration, that was until her face twisted into a sneer as she spoke, "All I want to do is rub it in those other womens faces, especially Melisande!"
Artemis scrunched her nose at the thought of Melisandes daughter (her arch nemesis), Talia al Ghul-who just so happened to be her brothers girlfriend.
Pushing aside all thoughts of the prissy bitch, her eyes softened and she mumbled, "If it'll make you happy." Bending down and pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead. "But let me take that ugly excuse for a dress back and buy a different one."
The older woman nodded her head eagerly until a horrified expression crossed her face at the thought of her daughters taste in clothing.
"And don't worry, I'll take Zatanna to help me pick it out, okay?" She reassured, before her mom had an heart attack.
Sending a quick glare in her brothers direction, she jogged up the stairs and opened her bedroom door.
"Oh my God, eww. No! Doesn't she know that color will totally wash you out?!"
Artemis rolled her eyes.
"Zee, that isn't the problem here!" She grumbled into the phone, twisting on her bed to get comfortable.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Your aim in life is to become a man, therefore, no dresses." The raven haired girl replied in a flat tone, Artemis could picture the younger girls face puckering up in displeasure.
"Zee," she growled in warning. Best friend or not, she will bitch slap her into next week.
Zatanna sighed and said, "Alright I'll come and help you choose a dress that will make you look like the sexiest sex kitten there ever was!"
Artemis rolled her eyes (she was doing a lot of that today) and said goodbye, flinging her phone on the pillow beside her.
Jesus why was everything and everyone so crazy in her life?
E/N: Leave a review and let me know if I should carry on or not!
