A/N: Just a little one-shot I got the idea for writing. Even though V-day has passed...
In this story, Wally and Artemis are about 5, or however old a kindergartner is.

Cooties
Wally and Artemis went to the same kindergarten class together, and they hated each other. While they usually kept their distance from each other, they often ended up at each other's throats at least twice a day. Artemis would trip Wally as he ran around the playground, Wally would pull one of her pig-tail, and all hel- er, heck- would break loose.
Their parents thought it was cute, except for when it got physical or out of hand.
When Wally's asked if he had a little crush on a certain pig-tailed blonde, and he would grimace, make a yuck-face, and reply:
"Gross, no! Girls have cooties!"
When Artemis's parents asked her how her red-headed freckled boyfriend was, she would get very angry and say:
"Wally's stupid! And I don't have a boyfriend! Everyone knows boys have cooties!"
But tomorrow was Valentine's Day, and their teacher instructed her students to send every classmate a Valentine's Day card. Which meant Wally had to send Artemis a card, and vice versa.
"Here," Artemis chucked her card at Wally, hitting him in the nose. He picked up the card. It was a simple white square of construction with a note in near-illegible handwriting that said:
Happy V-day.
Hate,
XXX Artemis
P.S. You're stupid.
"What do the three 'X''s mean?" He asked.
"The number of times I punched you in the face."
Normally, this would have led to a fight, but today was a special day. Also, he had a card for her too. No matter, girls have cooties anyway. He just smiled at her and thanked her. That sure wiped the grin on her face.
"Here's your card," He handed the card to her and she snatched it out of his hand.
"Ew, Wally! You wrote it on a heart! And you wrote it upside-down!"
"I have my reasons. Turn it."
She did, and it read:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
You suck,
And you smell like poo.
-Wally
"Happy Butts-day!" He sneered and ran off.
Confused, Artemis looked back at the card. Sure enough, upside-down the heart looked like a butt.
"WALLY!"
A/N: Thanks for reading! Please review!
Also, please read my story Savior Angel: The Inevitable. If you like action, adventure, suspense, humor, and romance all wrapped up in an epic story without a stereotypical annoying OC, then read it! If you want an extra summary/sneak peak, I wrote one at the end of chapter 3 in my other story "Ninja For a Day". Please and thank you!
Love, J
