Authors Note: PD3 gave me the the story's original idea, I thought it was great and just too good to pass up. PD3 thanks so much!

Longest chapter I ever wrote in my entire life.

Zatannas POV

I sighed, taking my antique brush and running it through my raven black hair. I had just come out of the bath, so my hair was a bit wet. I shivered, realizing it was a bit cold. I turned my head around as I heard a faint knock on my door.

" Come in.." I called out. I turned back to my mirror, resuming to brush my hair.

I smiled as I saw M'gann and Artemis enter. Artemis lied down on the bed, arms crossed behind her head. M'gann gently sat down on the edge, smoothing out the ruffles of her new pink skirt.

" Whats up?" I turned toward them, hands on my hips.

" The teams holding a halloween party!" M'gann sqealed excitedly. I laughed as I heard Artemis groan as she turned over and buried her face in the pillows.

" Whats wrong with a halloween party?" I smiled. I guess it sounded fun.

Artemis turned back, hands resting on her stomach. She was staring up at the ceiling, a frown on her face.

" They said something about it being a 'masquerade ball' or whatever."

" Whats so wrong with that?"

" Dont we have to wear a dress for those?"

M'gann and I laughed, Artemis hated dresses. She hated dressing up all fancy to impress somebody. I realized she was the perfect type to call the 'tough bad girl'. That was a perfect discription.

" Come on Arty, itll be fun" I insisted. M'gann jumped up, hugging me from the side. Artemis groaned, burying her face in the pillow again. We both put on our best puppy dog faces, begging her with our eyes.

" Come on, please" we pleaded. We jumped on her, landing on the bed. We all started laughing, tickling her.

" Okay!..okay..you win, I surrender." We all laughed.

" What should we wear anyway?" I asked them

They both tilted their heads, thinking. Then M'gann smiled, I could have sworn I heard the lightbulb click in her head.

" Its a masquerade ball right?" she smiled. Artemis and I shared a look for a moment, then we both nodded, faces blank.

Then all of a sudden, M'gann both started dragging us out of the room by the hand. " Wait, where are we going?" I laughed.

She laughed with me. She had this devious smile on her face. " Come on, you'll see."

I laughed again as Artemis let out another groan of annoyance.

Robins POV

I was typing away onto my holographic laptop, not paying attention to anything in particular. I was hacking some scientists computer, uploading information into mine instead. I thought it would help the team on a mission sometime later.

I mentally groaned as I felt a sudden swish of wind that blew through my hair.

" What do you want Wally?" I asked. I didnt need to turn my head away from the computer to know he was standing there beside me, stuffing his face with a sandwich.

" Guess what?" he asked. I think he said that, it was hard to hear him with all the food down his throat.

" No" I said bluntly. Whatever he was up to, I did not want to participate. He might be my best friend, but things will end badly if he continues to annoy me.

He pouted. " I didnt say anything yet.."

I chuckled a little, closing the laptop screen. " Dont need to, I wont do it." I knew for a fact he was up to something whenever he had that smile.

I started to walk away, heading for my room. And of course, he was walking beside me a half second later.

" Come on, hear me out" he pleaded.

I groaned outloud this time. I turned to him, crossing my arms over my chest. " Fine, what do you want?"

He smirked knowingly, I had a feeling I would regret this very soon. " The teams holding a halloween party..." he said it like it was the biggest thing in the world. I quirked an eyebrow at him, we were superheroes in training and he wanted to have a party?

I adjusted my shades, pushing them up my nose. " So?" I questioned. " What does this have to do with me?"

He smirked again, he was definitely up to something. " Zatanna will be there."

I turned around, heading for my room again. I said " Damn you" in romanian so that he wouldnt understand me. Ever since he found out about Zatanna being the only girl I had ever been interested in, he was constantly blackmailing me, not that it ever worked out in the end.

" Dont you go all romanian on me" he complained. " Its a party, it'll be fun."

I sighed, I really wasnt up for this. " No thanks" I said gruffly.

" I guess we have no choice." he said nonchalantly.

I stopped to look back at him, I quirked an eyebrow. He had his arms crossed over his chest and he was wearing this mischivious grin that could have put the Joker to shame.

" Get em guys" he ordered. My eyes widened behind my shades, I summersaulted backwards through the air, dodging Conners attempt to grab me.

" What the heck?"

Before I could say anything else, they both grabbed me, dragging me to who knows where. " Dont worry Ninja boy, you'll thank us for this"

" Worst day ever.." I thought. But then I smirked, none of them knew I always kept my utility belt with me.

I chuckled to myself as Wally rubbed his side. I was guessing it would most likely bruise. I slinged my utility belt over my shoulder, wearing it like a sash. Conner just proceded to not say anything and stand in the corner like he usually did.

Still rubbing his side, he frowned at me. " You had your utility belt with you?" he said accusingly.

I shrugged, smirking at him. " Bats..." I said simply. I knew he knew I was referring to the overprotective and over paroniod nature of my mentor. Never leave your utility belt behind was his first lesson. He got it hammered into my head, leave it and you die.

I leaned against the wall, arms crossed over my chest. I looked towards the ground, staring at nothing in particular.

" You have my attention.." I looked at him. " What do you guys want?"

He shrugged, that goofy grin plastered on his face. " Your attending.." he said finally.

I quirked an eyebrow, a bit annoyed. " Thats what you kidnapped me for?"

I got a bat-aarang from my sash and was preparing to throw it at him. " Seriously Wally, bad timing."

" Woah! Relax ninja boy! Come on! "

I sighed, placing my hand on my side. I still held onto my weapon, ready to throw it at him if need be. " Fine, I'll go."

He smiled like a kid on christmas morning, but with hints of mischief like he was going to pull a major prank on his stupid sister.

" But.." I crossed the room towards him. " Tell Zatanna anything..." My voice was deadly, threatening.

He nodded, and raised his right hand. " Promise..." he smirked. " Besides...I wont tell her anything."

I quirked an eyebrow at him, not answering him anything. " What are you guys up to?" I thought.

I sighed, sitting on the foot of the bed. He followed me, sitting on the other side. " Its a masquerade ball" he stated.

I looked at him, quirking an eyebrow again. He rolled his eyes. " Renessaince theme..."

" Renessiance?..." I repeated. He nodded. "The girls.." he said simply. I nodded, that sounded a bit like M'gann.

" What do we wear to a renessaince themed party?" I asked him, I looked over to Conner. He just shrugged, he wasnt really saying anything to help so much.

Wally snapped his fingers. " I have an idea..." then he looked at me, that stupid grin on his face again.

" Why do I have a bad feeling about this?..." I thought. I faced palmed.

I looked around, my eyes wide. We were now transported in Star City, home of Green Arrow. Whats more, we were in the biggest mall of the city. M'gann smiled, dragging us both to an old victorian looking shop.

I looked around, touching one of the lacy fabrics. " Why are we here?" I heard Artemis say.

M'gann smiled, spinning around happily. " Its a renessaince theme right?"

I looked at Artemis, we both nodded, arms crossed over our chest.

" Why dont we all dress up from Shakespear's plays?" she said knowingly.

" You know Shakespear?" I asked, I touched one of the fabrics again, feeling the stiff but sily texture of it.

She nodded, eyeing a purple dress with black lace trim. " My favorite was his ' A Midsummers Nights dream' "

I saw Artemis nod, looking at a pearl necklace on the counter. " That was a good one..." she agreed.

I turned to face both of them, a smile on my face. " You two read shakespear?"

M'gann nodded happily, Artemis shrugged. " I read it in school...and I liked it" Artemis stated.

" I love Romeo and Juliets best..." I said dreamily. The first time I read the real, actual words of the poem. Tears were in my eyes at the last scene.

" Why dont you be Juliet at the party?" M'gann suggested.

" Maybe you'll find your Romeo there.." Artemis said with a smirk on her face.

I laughed. " Maybe..." I agreed. " Who knows..maybe I will find him" I thought.

" Alright, maybe I will be Juliet.." I agreed. They both nodded, handing me a few dresses to try on.

I laughed. " One at a time guys.." They laughed with me, unloading my arms with the bundle of dresses.

" For there was never a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo" I quoted in my mind.

Robins POV

I stared at the ancient texts of my book, I was reading poems and story's by famous renessaince artists for my english class. Wally thought it would be a great idea to base my costume off from one of the characters.

" This isnt even english..." he complained beside me. I laughed, Wally didnt understand old english

"Like I said, its old english, and its a poem." I explained for the tenth time.

" As if you can quote any of this.." he challenged. I rasied an eyebrow at him.

I inhaled then exhaled. I closed the book, setting it down on my lap. I stared off into the distance, letting my mind sway adrift.

As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

I looked at Wally. I laughed, covering my mouth with one hand, muffling the laughter. Wally looked liked he just had a slap to the face.

"How did you do that?" he said crossing his arms.

I shrugged, not answering him. It was one of my favorite passages, where he saw his true love for the first time and described her beauty. I would secretly think of Zatanna, then it would seem all too easy to recite the words.

" Do another one.." he said. I looked at him, then slowly nodded. I rummaged through my head, finding another good one.

"Eyes, look your last
Arms, take your last embrace... and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death...Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark
Here's to my love..."

I petended to take an imaginary wine glass and drink it. I clutched my chest, pretending to feel a pain in my heart.

"O true apothecary
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die."

I whispered the last few words. I looked at Wally, eyes wide, mouth open. I chuckled to myself, shaking my head.

" Both were from Romeo and Juliet right?"

I nodded at him, eyes wide from surprise. I didnt know Wally knew Shakespear.

" Why dont you be Romeo then?" he suggested.

I shrugged. " I guess so." I concluded.

" You know the whole story?"

I nodded. I knew every word, it was kinda easy to memorize if you wanted to.

" Just because Im Romeo, Im not gonna commit suicide during the party" I joked. We both laughed.

" For there was never a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo" I quoted inside my head.
