I Do not own these characters ;)
FYI: if the words are in italics that means... flash back.
"What should I wear? What should I wear?" M'gann sang as she rummaged through her pink wooden closet. She picked up a pink t-shirt and shook her head.
"No…" she sighed as she threw it in the pile of mediocre clothes. After making six piles of clothes on her floor, M'gann gave up. She walked towards her bed and flopped onto it. 'This is bad.' she thought to herself. She had to leave in twenty minutes and she still wasn't even close to ready.
"Why don't I have any good clothes to wear?" she whimpered through her long exhale. If only she could morph her clothes into something she could wear. Then it hit her. M'gann tapped herself on the head lightly and smiled.
"Hello Megan! You can change your clothes!" The young alien quickly lifted herself off the bed and tried to regain her balance. Once she did, M'gann walked towards her full-length mirror and began to do her magic.
"There we go!" M'gann said, excited. She was now wearing a small yellow and crème colored dress with a pair of white high heel. M'gann began to twirl side to side gracefully, admiring the way the dress flowed.
"Perfect." she said, clasping her hands together. M'gann looked into the mirror again and realized something was off.
"Oh yes, skin color! Oh Megan, people are always telling you humans aren't green!" she said, giggling. She watched as her shade of green emerged into a tanned café au lait skin tone.
"There we go." she affirmed as she nodded her head with delight. M'gann walked away from her mirror and grabbed her white purse.
"Today is going to be great!" she announced with a smile planted on her clear face.
It was a lovely Friday afternoon. Everyone had gone out except for the young martian girl. Superboy and Artemis was out training with Black Canary and Wally was at his uncle Barry's house. Kaldur was gone (he was in Atlantis for six months, helping Aquaman with a project) and Robin was outside wandering around, leaving Miss. Martian alone to do her thing. M'gann was enjoying the time she was spending with the large television placed in the living room. She sat and observed as an old lady poured brown cake batter onto an oiled black pan. Determined to make a mind-blowing (not literally) cake, she began to jot down notes in a yellow journal titled, "My Baking Journal!," decorated with small unicorn, heart and flower stickers.
"Megan!" Surprised by the sudden outburst coming from the hallway, the young alien turned to see Robin running into the room, waving his arms in the air with his million dollar smile pasted onto his half-way covered face. M'gann smiled as she mentally squealed, wanting to pinch the little earthling's rosy cheeks. She absolutely adored Robin. He was like another little sibling to her, only he was human. The young acrobat sat himself down next to the beautiful alien and widened his smile. M'gann placed her journal aside and turned off the television, giving the small teenager her undivided attention.
"M'gann, Are you doing anything tomorrow?" he asked, grinning. Astonished, a faint blush ran across the alien's face as she slowly processed his question in her head.
"No. Why? Do you want to hang out with me?" she asked, clapping her hands together. Robin giggled as he leaned back onto the couch completely.
"It's like you read my mind." he said, noting, how she jolted up a little.
"No mind reading! I swear." she said nervously while waving her hands.
"I was kidding Miss. Martian!" Robin claimed as he showed his pearly white teeth. Megan beamed at his outstandingly adorable facial features.
"So what do you want to do? Go to a party? Watch a movie? Go shopping? Uhhh… what else do humans do?" the young alien gently placed a finger on her forehead, thinking.
"Why don't we go out to eat?" suggested the younger teenager. Megan radiated as she lightly hit her head.
"Hello, Megan! Why didn't I think of that?" she said, giggling. Robin smirked while he quickly lifted himself off the comfortable couch.
"So, it's a date! Meet me at Godiva Café at 11:00! Wear something pretty. Preferably yellow." he said, adding a little wink at the end of his sentence. M'gann furrowed her perfectly defined eyebrows and gave the boy a small pout.
"Why don't we just go there together? And Why yellow?" she asked as she stood up, straightening out her favorite skirt.
"I have to meet up with Batman… and I like yellow." Robin said as he made his way towards the door. M'gann hit her head gently again and smiled.
"Hello, Megan! I totally forgot. You do that every morning." the young alien said as she placed her hand on her hip' watching the young teenager make his exit.
"Robin is thirty minutes late." M'gann sighed as she looked at her silver watch. Although she knew that Robin was probably held up with Batman's orders, she couldn't help but to feel disappointed. This was finally her day to hang out with Robin, and get to know him better. To form that brother- sister relationship she always wanted with him. But, here she is, sitting alone at a café, eavesdropping into other peoples conversation as she waits for her date.
A small waitress comes to the disguised alien's table, holding a pitcher of ice cold water. She picks up M'gann's cup and slowly refills it, placing it back to it's original spot.
"Miss. Morse?" The young alien turns to face the waitress, still foreign to the name. The young hostess takes out a small envelope from her pocket and hands it to M'gann.
"This is for you." M'gann eagerly accepts the letter and observes the elegant handwriting that spelt her name.
"Who is it from?" the alien asked as she tore open the skin. The young hostess shifted uncomfortably and sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't quite get a name. The letter was found on the waiting table." she said, with disappointment that was directed to herself. M'gann took out the note and placed the torn envelope aside.
"It's okay." she said, smiling. The waitress slowly walked away still holding the pitcher as M'gann begin to read the letter.
"Dear Miss. Martian,
I'm sorry that I can't make it today. Batman has me doing a mission right now; trust me it's not as whelming as you think. But, anyways, don't worry about not having a date; I sent some else to help the day aster! Again, I'm sorry. We can hang out next time!
Love,
Robin"
M'gann folded up the letter and sighed. Feeling her hope drop. Did she just get stood up? No wonder the people on television get upset by this. It hurt. M'gann stared at the glass cup in front of her and began to gulp it down. Feeling relieved, she placed the empty cup down gently and leaned back on her chair. How did her perfect day end up like this?
"Miss. Mar- Megan?" M'gann turned around, meeting eyes with a young teenage boy standing near the café's entrance doorway.
"Kaldur?" she said, feeling the corners of her lips tug into a smile. M'gann quickly stood up form her chair and ran towards the young Atlantean attired in a light gray sweater, dark jeans and a pair white tennis shoes.
"Kaldur, What are you doing here? I thought you were at Atlantis!" She exclaimed while wrapping her arms around his body for a welcoming hug. Kaldur hugged her back still a little shocked by the alien's human-like appearance.
"I-I just came back yesterday. My king allowed me to come visit for a few days before returning." he affirmed, proudly. M'gann released him from her grasp and frowned for a quick second.
"You're leaving again? But you just got here… when are you going back?" she asked, solemnly. Kaldur brushed away the stray pieces of her hair from her forehead and smiled softly.
"I'll be staying here for a week and then I'll be heading back." he chuckled. The young alien nodded and sighed, still not satisfied with the Atlantean's response. She looked up at her team leader and smiled.
"Well, since you don't have much time to stay here… Why don't we just hang out here together?" she suggested. Kaldur looked at the young alien, happy with her invitation.
"I would like that." he said, smirking. M'gann froze, feeling her heart skip a beat. 'What was that?' she asked herself. M'gann soon began to notice heat gathering at her cheeks and feeling herself become… whelmed. 'I don't know what it is… but it feels nice.'
"Megan? Is something wrong?" M'gann shook her head, bringing herself outside of her thoughts and smiled.
"Nope. I'm just really glad you're back." she said, feeling herself become giddy. "Anyways, let's go eat. I heard that the desserts here are really, really good."
Kaldur nodded his head in agreement and stepped aside, allowing the young girl to walk first. Once the two heroes met halfway with the table until they noticed an elderly couple sitting in their seats. They were holding hands and smiling at one another, comfortable with their presence and silence. M'gann looked at the love-birds and beamed. She tapped on Kaldur's arm lightly, trying to grab his attention.
"Isn't that cute?" she asked her companion, pointing at the two lovebirds. Kaldur looked at the young alien and back to the old couple, chortling softly.
"Yes." he replied, admiring their happy romance.
M'gann watched the aged couple that were enjoying their time together. Out of no where, the same waitress that had served her came towards the couplet in an awkward manner.
"I'm sorry, this table is reserved to this couple." she said, pointed her hand towards the heroes. "Please come back after they're done." The old couplet turned around, glancing at the young twain and nodded.
"We apologize." said the old man as he tried to lift himself up, out of the chair with all his might. M'gann made her way towards the man trying to stop him from leaving, but was past by Kaldur. Kaldur gently wrapped his arm around the kind old man's shoulders, and helped him back in his seat.
"It is fine." the young Atlantlean informed him, chuckling. He turned to the waitress, placed a hand on her arm and guided her to the side. The young waitress blushed by the sudden contact and allowed him to move her. M'gann watched as her companion talked to the cute waitress near the wall, feeling uneasy. 'Why do feel like this?' she wondered, wishing that the waitress would just go away. Once M'gann began to realized what she just hoped for, she mentally scolded herself for thinking of such a bad thing. The young alien stared off at her companion as he handed the young waitress a paper-like substance. 'What is that?' she wondered, feeling her heart squeeze uncomfortably. Uneasy, M'gann turned around, meeting eyes with the old woman sitting down.
"Your boyfriend is very kind." she said, pointing behind the alien. M'gann quickly followed to where the woman was pointing to. Her face instantly flushed.
"Uh.. Um.. Kaldur? No, no, no. No, h-he's just a friend. A friend… that's all." she defended while waving her hands. The old woman began to chuckle as she observed the young girl's reactions.
"That's too bad, he seems like a good guy. You better to catch him while you can." she said, giggling. M'gann looked down at her feet, trying to hide the redness that dominated her face. 'What? Kaldur as a boyfriend? No, he's just a friend. Just a friend.' the young alien looked back at her companion, who was still chatting with the young waitress. 'Right?' she asked herself feeling her heart beats returning to it's original tempo. M'gann faced the old woman again and smiled.
"Nope we're just friends." Determined to change the awkward conversation, M'gann began to look for something that could help her. She noticed the aged woman's ring. M'gann began to think, forming questions inside her head.
"How long have you and your date been together?" the alien asked. The aged woman placed her hand on top of her lover's, moving her thumb across his knuckles.
"Exactly 60 years." M'gann nodded, somewhat envious of their happy romance. She always wished of being a real human, not an alien in disguise. She wanted to meet a guy, fall in love, get married, have fifteen children, and grow old together. That was her ideal dream. M'gann inattentively turned her view to Kaldur… 'to fall in love…' and slowly began to drown in her thoughts.
"Megan, are you ready to go?" M'gann looked up at the young Atlantean, dazed.
" What… go? What do you mean? Where are we going?" she asked. Kaldur walked towards the beautiful alien, and stood beside her.
"That is something we decide together." he whispered, giving the alien a small wink. Kaldur placed his hand behind her back, turning them towards the elders.
"You two have a great time." The Atlantean stated with a formal bow. M'gann copied Kaldur and allowed him to guide her towards the exit. Once they left the café, Kaldur turned to his alien friend and sighed.
"I am sorry that we did not eat any of the food in that cafe, even though you really wanted to." M'gann reached over to touch Kaldur's shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile.
"It's okay. We can go next time." she said, watching Kaldur as he returned her smile.
"Where do you want to eat?" he asked, as he began to scan the area to find a good bistro. M'gann placed her finger on her forehead and began to think.
"How about we go to a supermarket, buy some food and cook it at the park?" she suggested. Kaldur looked around for a supermarket, spotting The Special H Market. He turned to face M'gann and smiled.
"You have some good ideas… like always" he said, smiling. He began to walk towards the supermarket as M'gann stood there, flustered by his compliment. She was stunned but at the same time burdened, she knew she shouldn't have felt such an impact when the words left his mouth. 'Just friends' she reminded herself before she left to run by his side. 'Just friends…'
I love to see different couples :)
