Checking his phone, Roy found no messages from Wally or Dick. Geez, they'd left to get a snack, and been gone so long it was already half time.
Roy had got 3 tickets to a basketball game, something that those two had been most enthusiastic about. So where were they now?
A small part of him couldn't help but worry about Dick being kidnapped...but the kid was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses...he should be alright. Right? A crying toddler in the row behind him to his right snapped Roy out of his train of thought - the kid had dropped his donut, and was raising hell because of it.
This only furthered his annoyance at Dick and Wally because of an incident earlier apparently involving pastry. He'd been in the shower at his apartment when he heard something along the lines of a tantrum going on in the kitchen; 5 minutes later when he got out, Wally was laying on the couch, face pressed into a pillow to muffle his laughter. Upon entry into the kitchen, he found it trashed, with Dick dressed up as Kylo Ren and pouting at the kitchen table. Roy had asked something along the lines of 'what the hell happened,' and Dick's meager response had been, 'my cinnamon roll had raisins in it.'
Damn kid.
The band had finished it's thing, and the mascots entered the court. Those two morons were gonna miss it...might as well record it for them.
The mascots were a tiger and a bear, who started lapping the court, demanding and receiving applause and cheering from the audience. Eventually they stopped, doubling over 'winded' - as if that were the cue, a song started playing on the speakers, and the mascots' acted out what was being said in the song. Following the lyrics, they mimed booty calls and cigarettes, then the singer said…
'But first - Let me take a selfie'
And the mascots proceeded to get DOWN with the beat; heck, some of those moves look like several he had taught Dick and Wally.
When the song ended they kept up the comedy act, which was actually the first to make Roy really laugh. At one point the bear slapped the tiger's ass, so the tiger punched him in the stomach in retaliation. The audience was rolling at the continued antics, especially when the tiger flipped the bear off.
A dance off was initiated after this, starting with moves like 'gangman style' and irish dancing, then escalating to full blown breakdancing. The tiger won when he did somersaulted in mid air and landed in a split, another move that seemed very familiar to Roy.
As a finale, the song "I'm too sexy" came on, and the mascots, who were fully clothed, began aggressively and competitively stripping. Roy was laughing so hard he had difficulty holding the camera steady, and forgot to wonder where Dick and Wally had gone. As the strip tease ended, the mascots bowed to the crowd over and over again, eliciting insane cheering from the audience.
Waving as they made their exit, the bear suddenly turned around, 'kissed' the tiger (as well as any mascot can), then ran like mad into the lockers when tiger tried to slap him and gave chase.
A few minutes, and many calls and texts from Roy later, Wally and Dick finally came back to their seats. Both were panting, soaked with sweat, and had their hair sticking in all directions. Turning towards them to tell them off, Roy shouted, "Where the HELL have you two -", but then everything clicked as he realized...
"YOU IDIOTS!"
Shoutout to Emma! THank you darlin, and good luck getting through all the stories...I cringe at the thought of some of those early one, haha.

In case you weren't sure, Dick was the tiger mascot and Wally was the bear!
