Love Story
Chapter 1: Prom Night
Artemis, M'gann, and Zatanna walked out of the room they were changing in. They were met with wide eyes from Wally, Connor, and Dick. Tonight they were going to prom which none of them but M'gann really wanted to go to. The three boys wore simple tuxedo's, which from the look of them wasn't very expensive and were rentals. The girls on the other hand looked stunning. Artemis wore a strapless mint dress with a long skirt and a sparkly bow around the waist. She also wore a pair of simple silver heels which you couldn't see very well with the length of the dress as well as her hair curled. M'gann wore a black spaghetti strap dress with a thick maroon bow around the waist. She had a pair of maroon wedges and her hair was up in a small bun thanks to her black rubber band. She also had a pair of stunning colorful earrings which were about an inch shorter than her neck was. The last person to come out of the changing room was Zatanna. Zatanna wore a much more complicated dress that her father gave her for her birthday one year. The dress was her mother's and she was happy that she could finally fit into it. The dress was a light blue color. The top was heart shaped as well as filled up with multiple shades of blue sparkles. Around her waist a light blue ribbon appeared with a bow that was set right at the side of her waist. The bottom half of her dress was completely ruffles. Some of the ruffles were light and see through but others were heavy and solid. On the right side of the dress a slit was right where everyone could see it. She wore a pair of sparkly blue heels which were about half an inch taller than what she wanted but was fine about it because it matched her dress completely. Her hair was up in a bun like M'gann's but she wore sparkly barrettes instead of rubber band. Everyone watched the girls even Kaldur and Rocket were staring at them. Kaldur and Rocket had decided to just stay home and watch a new movie that came out a month ago. Wally walked over to the couch and grabbed his jacket and put it on.
"Better get your coats ladies Dick said that it's gonna be a cold night" said Wally laughing at the fact he called them ladies.
"That's right," said Dick. "It's going to be eight degrees by the time we get out of here." Zatanna looked at Dick with shock as she watched Dick and Connor grab their jackets and look at the girls as if they were telling them to get their jackets
"Wow, I can't believe it going to be that cold. Why is it this cold anyway?" asked Zatanna looking at Dick. She suddenly closed her eyes. "No staoc ruo tup." She said quickly. Almost in a flash the girls coats were on and they were ready to go. Every pair had their own ride. Wally carried Artemis bridal style as he ran his way to the school, M'gann decided to just levitate them to the school in camouflage mode, and Zatanna just teleported herself and Dick there with her magic. Everyone had arrived at the school in less than two minutes leaving plenty of time for Wally to get a bunch of snacks at the snack booth.
Zatanna sat down on a chair next to an empty table. She suddenly was tapped on the shoulder by a guy in her class. His name was Luke. Zatanna stood up and greeted him.
"Wow, you look amazing," Luke said as stared at her with wide eyes.
"You do too." She said with a weak smile trying not to seem more interested in him than Dick. She looked down at her dress and then though of the picture she had seen of her mother in it. She felt tears trying to come out of her eyes. She held them in as Dick walked over to her with punch.
"Zatanna I brought you some pun…." Dick became quiet as he saw Luke right next to her. "Who is this?" He asked trying to hold in the anger he felt toward Luke for being right next to his date.
"Oh this is Luke ….. He …..Um….. Is a friend of mine from history? Dick meet Luke, Luke meet Dick," said Zatanna sniffling a bit and still holding back her tears.
"Hi," said Luke, "um Zatanna do you … um… want to …. Um… dance?" He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"Sorry Luke but I have a date," she said looking at Dick and half smiling half feeling like she is going to burst out with tears. Dick gave Luke a smirk look and then looked over at Zatanna who was about explode with tears. "um… excuse me for a second please," she said as she ran out of the room. Luke walked away to go find someone else to dance with while M'gann, Connor, Wally, and Artemis walked over to Dick looking concerned.
"What was that all about? What's wrong with Zatanna?" asked Artemis with a concerned look on her face.
"Um, honestly I don't know I mean she just ran out of here like she was going to cry. Could you two go and check on her please." Said Dick
"Yeah of course we will, right Artemis?" said M'gann. Artemis shook her head yes and the two walked over in the direction they heard Zatanna in.
When M'gann and Artemis got to the girls locker room they found Zatanna sitting on the floor with her face covered in her hands.
"Zatanna what's going on?" asked M'gann. She and Artemis sat on the floor next to the crying girl and started to rub her back. Zatanna looked up at M'gann and Artemis and wiped the tears off of her cheeks.
"This…This is my mom's dress," said Zatanna. " she died when I was six and my dad gave it to me for whenever I want to wear it. Tonight I looked down at it and it reminded me of my mom, she's gone forever she will never come back. This dress…. It brings back memories. I think I'm done crying now too." She said kind of sudden with a slight smile on her face. M'gann and Artemis looked over at Zatanna and smiled too.
They all left the locker room and entered the gym. A minute after they got to the gym a slow song immediately started to play. M'gann ran over to Connor and they started to dance. Zatanna noticed that M'gann and Connor kept on getting closer and closer until she realized that their bodies were touching. Artemis on the other hand was watching Wally eat basically everything from the buffet table. After he was done he grabbed Artemis and almost threw her onto the dance floor. They too started getting closer and closer. Zatanna couldn't help but think about slow dancing with someone. She had always imagined it in her dreams. Dancing all night. Before she finished her little daydream she was pulled onto the dance floor by …. Is that Dick?! Before she knew it she was right beside Dick her hands around his neck and his around her waist. Was this really happening? She had just begun to notice Dick's feelings around her. He had blushed when she teased him about random things and tried to flirt with her. A few years ago Dick was a few inches shorter than her. She used to tease him about that but all of the sudden he suddenly had a growth spirt and now was a few inches taller than her even in heels. She knew that she liked Dick and she told herself that she was going to tell him about her love to him tonight.
"Dick?" said Zatanna.
"Yeah," Dick said.
"Come here," Zatanna said. Dick nodded and followed her out into the hall. Zatanna leaned on a wall and motioned Dick to come her way. He followed and suddenly Zatanna kissed him on the lips. Dick responded by putting his hands on her waist and kissing back. Zatanna thought to herself that it was the greatest day ever.
After prom, Zatanna went to her room at Mount Justice. She grabbed her diary and started to write in it.
Dear Diary,
OMG! Today was prom and I actually kissed Dick. I mean full on the lips. I was expecting him to push me away and say 'no Zatanna I don't feel the same way' but he actually kissed me back I mean it's not even Valentine's day. This is the best day ever. I feel a little weird though not telling M'gann and Artemis about this. Dick and I are going to keep it a secret for a while so then no one will get in my way or lecture me about it. So Wish me luck!
