AN: Haha I'm back. I'm not dead, don't worry. Here's to one year on this site!
Height Differences are Annoying
Why am I so short? Why is Wally so tall? Some of the greatest mysteries in life. It was so annoying, and Wally liked to hold it over my head every second that he could. Do you know how irritating it is to find the T.V. remote on top of the biggest bookshelf in the Cave? Or the last slice of cake at very top of the fridge? Or my birdarangs hidden at the top of the gigantic weights shelf?
Yeah, and there was more than that. There were insulting taunts and nicknames to go along with it. Shortstacks, Shortie, Mushroom Top, Minnie Mouse, Itsy-Bitsy Spider, Gigantosaurus Rex.
One day after a huge case in Gotham, with the ever stoic Bat, all I really wanted was cake. Of course, Wally wasn't about to let me have it. I didn't even notice him as I trudged into the kitchen (Bruce would be so disappointed) and reached into the kitchen for some of the delicious chocolate cake. Wasn't there. But Wally was there, leaning casually against the counter. He noticed me looking at him, started whistling innocently. Not really, totally guilty.
Wally gestured to the top of the fridge, where the chocolate cake sat, tempting me with it's chocolateness. Much taller than my five feet (exactly) could reach. But just the right height for Wally's 5'9". The fridge was really tall, by the way. Don't know why, but it was huge compared to me.
I sighed. "Why did you put the cake up there?"
Wally looked at me in mock surprise.
"Whaat? I didn't do anything," Wally said. I sighed again. I was too tired to go through with this again. I turned around and walked back to my room and immediately fell asleep. I woke up a bit later when Wally came in, but I was too tired to hit him for my shenanigans.
That happened many times over, with different variations. I would yell at him until he gave me what I wanted, I would climb up to it, I would get someone else to get it for me. Until one day I came up with an idea to prank Wally. It wasn't the most clever, but it would be good enough for now. And it would be funny see Wally's face.
Two nights later I waited until Wally was asleep and grabbed a stool. Wally looked asleep to me, and I could really tell who was asleep and who wasn't. I grabbed a bucket of water, and headed over to the bed. Climbing up onto the school, I tipped a few drips onto Wally's face. He grimaced a bit, but didn't wake up. I splashed more onto his face, and his body jerked in surprise. His eyes opened right at I tipped the rest of the water on to him. He stared up at me, stunned.
I laughed. "Who's taller now?!" I shouted at him. He groaned and rolled over, turning his back to me. I jumped off the stool and ran to my room. Wally was probably already planning payback, now I had to take precautions to make sure I didn't get caught by him again.
AN: Just a wacky, short one-shot. I've officially been on this site for one year! Hooray! I'm working on another piece that I'll hopefully post soon, so watch out for that! Review!
