Today was bright out there was no cloud in site and it was just warm enough to make the field trip today fun. We were going to a large water park that was few hours away from the evil city of Gotham and Gotham Academy. School was not my favorite thing in the world even though I was very good at it and one of the schools top students. I felt that it just got in the way of Dick and I doing our thing as Batgirl and Robin. Which I loved the most it was so much fun beating up the low life of your Gotham City.
"Are you ready to go" Grayson asked swinging a sac filled with snack and games for the long trip over his shoulder. We were still at the Mansion/ Bat cave getting ready to go because Alfred said he would drive both of us to the bus. My Dad, Commissioner Gordon had dropped my off early this morning on his way to work so when I got here I creep up to one of the many spare rooms and fell asleep for a few more hours.
I sleep way better over here in the mansion than I do at home I feel safe like no one can hurt me here and I am in one of the biggest most expensive beds in Gotham. Dick woke me up about ten minutes before we were supposed to leave so I had to quickly throw my red curly hair back into a ponytail luckily I was already wearing a pair of jean shorts and a light green t-shirt with my swim suit underneath which I was planning to wear.
"Yep" I told him rubbing the stuff out of the corner of my eyes sheepishly. I munched on a hard granola bar because Dick woke me up so late I did not get a chance to eat the delicious French toast Alfred made for breakfast us this morning. I dropped my small military green bag down on the cushiony carpeting next to me and punched Dick hard in the shoulder. "What's for not waking me up on time?"
"Hey sorry it's not my fault you are the hardest sleeper to wake up in the whole universe." He was right I did have a tendency of over sleeping even after someone woke me up. "I literally picked you up out of bed and dropped you in the hallway but you just got up and went back to bed." I started to think back and I did remember him bridal carrying me out of the room and dropping me in the hall. I am not a morning person at all maybe the exact opposite I love the night my dad use to call me night bat when I was younger because I would refuse to go to sleep at night and I would sleep almost all day.
"Really" I smirked.
"I promise cross my heart" he pointing at his heart making a crossing motion as he did so. DING-DONG the doorbell went off. Now who is visiting the Wayne mansion at five thirty in the morning? Bruce staggered down the stairs in his pajamas wrapping a warm black robe over his shoulders tying to tie the belt as he walked. He strolled past Dick and I with a scowl on his face, I knew he was angry with us for waking him up from his beauty sleep.
Bruce opened the large glass doors and stepped aside letting Megan, Conner, Wally, Artemis, and Aquelad in. Wally zipped in with Artemis marching in slowly behind. He headed straight for Alfred who was Wally's best friend whenever he came over to visit mostly because he made some of the best food you have ever tasted. Alfred always made more when the team came to visit but today was sort of a surprise to us. They came over uninvited even though we were going on the same field trip we were planning on going in separate cars.
"Hey Alf how's it goin . . . is that French toast" Wally asked sniffing the air I swear his sense of smell is heightened by his need of food all the time. But before Alfred could answer, Wally sped past him going straight into the kitchen. Artemis strolled in after him rolling her eyes.
"He is such a pig" she mentioned going into the kitchen. "Really Wally at least use a fork" you could hear her yelling at him in the other room. Megan skipped in giving me a large hug that almost knocked me down.
"Hey guys are you all excited for the field trip" she asked looking around the room trying to get answers from all of us.
"Of course we are excited it's a water park and we get to miss school" Dick answered "I can definitely feel the aster . . . what about you Supey."
"I'm feelin it" Conner replied in a very monotone voice stepping over to Megan to grab her hand. They were going out now so was Arty and Wally, so normally Dick, Aqualad, and I sorta felt out of place. Of course one night on a mission we were talking about who was going out at school and Megan blurted out "You know who would make to cutest couple . . . "she said waiting for me to answer but when I didn't just she finished the sentence "You and Robin . . . come on the bird brains that could be your couple name or . . . or Dibs that would be so cute." I replied quickly with a frown and a no we are just friends and that was the end of the decision.
"O ah it will be your first time at a water park Cony-Boo" Megan turned around looking over at Conner. He really hated the pet names that Megan gave him but he did not mind if it made her happy. "Don't worry I am new to this whole water park thing too so I will go on all the rides with you it will be fun like this could be are fourth date." O did I mention she counts every small millstone in their relationship.
"Ah it will be fun." He said with a smile and pulled Megan in for a hug.
"So what are you guys going here anyway." I asked looking over at the clock seeing that we should be leaving any second now if we wanted to get to the bus on time.
"We came to pick you and Dick up we thought it would be better if we carpooled." Aquelad stated walking in from behind Bruce who was still standing with the door open letting people in. Bruce closed the door behind him and started walking back up the stair to his room to go to bed. Dick waved good-bye before he got all the way up the stairs "See you later . . . I hope you have a good day." He stated. Dick always tried getting acceptance from Bruce even though he already had it; Bruce was not the kind of person to show it he was most of the time very cold.
"O thanks but we were expecting Alfred to drive us." I said.
"Well if don't want us to take you that is fine but we need to be going soon." Aqualad stated.
"No that's fine Kaldur Thanks." I looked over at Alfred who was just standing there listening politely to our conversation. "Hey Alf sorry but we are going with them so we don't need a ride anymore . . . so you can go back to bed if you'd like."
"Thank you Miss Gordon" Alfred bowed his at me and headed up the stairs to his bedroom.
"Well then we better get going are buses in leaving in ten" Kaldur mentioned looking at his wrist watch. I bent down to grab my bag off the floor but Dick had swiftly grabbed it form my hands.
"I'll take this for you." It made me smile. Cool I don't have to carry my bags he is so sweet. I walked into the kitchen to grab Arty and Wally. But when I got there I was welcomed by the site of them making out, and all the French toast was gone really I was hoping to take some with me.
"Please Get a Room." I muttered grabbing the car keys of the table, holding a hand over my eyes. "O and its time to go we are taking the red mustang come out when you too are done I guess." I walked out with my eyes still covered, that was so awkward.
Dick had opened the garage door showing the large arrangement of cars he had. He had cars in all different colors and styled but we all chose to drive the red mustang that was Dick's pride and joy it was his favorite out of all the cars and Bruce told him that he could keep it. I hopped in shot gun next to Kaldur who was the only one that was old enough to drive at the time. He was sixteen while all the rest of us where fifteen except Conner who was really only a few weeks old now.
Kaldur, Dick, Conner, Artemis and I waited patiently for Megan to get out of the bathroom and for Wally to finish of all the food we had left in the kitchen. But after about five minutes they all came out to the car and we were ready to go.
Kaldur acting like the mother told all of us to buckle up and makes sure we are all ready. Kaldur and I sat in the front while Artemis and Dick sat in the back with Conner sitting down with Megan in his lap. Wally was made to run there because there was no more room and none of us wanted to take the mini -van. So we headed off to the school to meet up with the buses.
When we got there five large yellow buses lined up in a row behind the school which almost seemed silent this Monday morning. Wally got there about ten minutes before we arrived which felt like forever to him. He ran quickly up to the car with a scowl on his face.
"That was so boring Conner's walking back next time . . . that is unfair always being stereotyped as the fast guy." He muttered crossing his arms.
"Hey get over it KID FLASH" Artemis teased "Well we are on bus number six babe." She said grabbing her stuff out of the trunk giving it to Wally to carry who protested for a second than accepted the bags and accepted defeat. "God yours is heavy." She said pulling his bag out of the back setting it on the ground. "What is in there?" pulling the zipper on it showing a fully packed bag of food Twinkies, Chips and junk food filled to the top. Artemis shakes her head and picked it up and handed it over to Wally.
"O-k M'gann you are on bus number 33 and Conner you and me are on 46 so Barbra you and Dick are on 66." Kaldur told us looking at his paper of the day's schedule. Dick grabbed my bag from the back and we headed over to the bus together. We stepped on finding a set right in the middle of the bus. I slide in first because I told him the night before that we could hang out the whole way there and I called the window set that was my favorite. Are bags where stuffed on the floor squishing are feet into the sets in front of us.
"O-k is everyone ready to go." The bus driver exclaimed before starting the bus and getting on are way. I played I spy with Dick.
"I spy with my little eye something grey." I said waiting for Dicks answer.
"That building." He exclaimed pointing across me out the window.
"Your turn."
"I spy with mi little eye something grey."
"That building." I said pointing out the window. We did this on and off the same question over and over again with the same answer; well there is not much to see when you are driving through the dark city of Gotham.
"Well hello Bratgirl and Boy Blunder." We heard from behind us a very raspy voice laughing uncontrollably. I gasped grabbing tightly onto Dicks hand as tears started to run down my face.
