"Vacation!" Cassie yells across lunch hall.
Megan and I both look up at once.
"What are you talking about?" Megan asks.
"We'll one of my Amazon friends told me about an Island a couple of miles off the coast of Themyscira. It's not under the Gods ruling so we can go there to vacation! She said it was almost equally as nice as Themyscira. If we go we would stay for two nights and two days." Cassie reply's.
"Wait, what's going on?" Karen says as she sits down with her lunch.
"Island Vacation apparently." I say.
"Ooooo are the boys coming to?" Karen coos.
"Well thats what I wanted to talk to you girls about, should we have the guys go?" Cassie says thoughtfully.
"I don't see why not their part of the team to, it's only fair." Karen points out.
Megan nods in agreement.
"Well I don't think the League would like it." I say thinking of how Batman would react.
"They don't have to knnnoww." Karen says smiling.
Megan looks at me obviously looking for approval.
"Ah what the hell." I say.
Megan and Cassie cheer with excitement.
"So who's going Cassie?" Megan asks.
"Well I was thinking Mal, Wally, Dick, Conner, Artemis,and you guys obviously. Does that sound good?" Cassie asks looking around the table.
We all speak are agreement.
"I'm going to go pack!" Megan squeals and flys off.
"I think I will to." I say in agreement.
"Okay I will go invite the rest of our party." Cassie says.
We all stand and go our separate ways, I head to my dorm in Mount Justice.
I pull out a large green suitcase and pack all my casual summer clothes I have available. Plus my black swimsuit, and some toiletries.
*Knock Knock
I turn to my door, and walk over to the peep-hole.
It's Dick. I open the door.
"What do you want Grayson?" I say as annoyed as possible.
"That's no way to treat your best friend now is it?" He says.
He pushes past me into my room. He's wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
"Uh what do you think your doing?" I say astonished by his lack of simple politeness.
He looks over to my suitcase by the door.
"Oh I see you got the memo about the Island getaway thing." He says.
"Actually I helped plan it." I said smugly.
"Get off your high-horse, I'm already packed to. Say will you be wearing your black bikini again?" He says laughing.
I freeze my face goes red. Because that's the exact swim-suit I packed.
"Ya what about?" I say insecurely.
"You look really hot in it, partially the reason Im going is to spend...alone time with you." He says coolly.
Oh my god, he thinks I look hot?
"We'll maybe I won't go swimming then huh?" I say winking at him.
He gets up and walks towards the door.
"Babs, I will strip you myself. Your getting in the water." He smiles handsomely, and returns the wink.
He opens the door and steps out before I can even get a word in.
Dammit, Grayson whys he so...so...sexy when he does that?
The next morning Im wearing a yellow mid-thigh skirt and a flowing white blouse. I have white wedge heels on. It feels so good to be in casual clothing around your friends. We've never done anything like this before, we're always in Spandex or alien armor.
Dick walks over to me.
"Nice skirt." He mutters.
"I wore it just for you." I say sarcastically.
"Babs how about you sit next to me." He says.
"Not a chance." I say smiling, as I board the plane.
He growls in his throat.
Megan waves me over, she pats the seat next her. I sit down in the chair next to her, she takes the headphones out of her ears.
"Barb! I'm so excited, aren't you?" Megan says.
"I know it feels so nice to be going somewhere were we can all just hang out, as you know ourselves. We don't have to be hero's, or be wearing masks we can just be who we are." I reply thoughtfully.
She thinks for a moment.
"You know that is so true Barbra." She reply's.
Cassie is the last to get in board she it wearing a red sundress and has put her hair into a ponytail.
"Alright guys! Time to go, so be sure to have everything you need." She says enthusiastically.
Cassie takes a seat up in front next to Wally and Artemis.
Megan puts her headphones in and shuts her eyes.
Only about ten people are attending, everyone we invited. Mal and Karen sit in the back while Dick is already sleeping with his head on the window. Leaving Conner eyeing Megan from our side.
I pull out a romance novel, and flip to about the middle.
Things were getting good.
For the rest of the flight I'm blushing.
Wow I didn't know that was even allowed in books.
Closing the book. I stare up at the ceiling and soon we arrive at the Island.
It's a bumpy landing and Dicks head whips into the window.
Ouch.
I wake Megan up her green eyelids fly open. She looks startled I smile and pat her on the shoulder.
"We're here." I say to Megan.
"Haha thanks for waking me, I don't want to be on here all night." She reply's.
"I know what you mean." I say grabbing our luggage in a above compartment.
I hand her, her bag and we walk down the isle. We step off the plane and bright golds and reds cover the sky and the sand is a light pink from the reflection. The sun is going down and waves lightly crash on the beach.
"Wow." Megan says, her eyes wide she smiles and hugs Cassie.
"Cassie this is so nice." I say equally as pleased.
Artemis is already taking off her clothes revealing a lime green bikini. She jumps in Wally and Conner run in close behind.
"Do you guys wanna help me set up?" Cassie asks talking to Megan and I.
"Sure!" Megan and I say in unison.
We walk past a line of palm trees 2 tropical cabins sit side by side. They are made out of solid wood and have no glass windows but the curtains were made of flowing silk. Some palm tree leaves are layered on the roof.
"Holy..Cassie this place is amazing." I say in awe.
"Thanks! Wonderwoman helped me build them just for us! She's the best sister, like ever." Cassie says proudly.
We open the door to the girls cabin, 4 beds, 2 on each side of the room. Each a different color bedding and different designs carved into the headboards. I lay my stuff on the bed with tiny little hummingbirds embroidered into the blanket.
"Wow are these the cabins?!" Karen says with a large smile on her face.
"Ya aren't they great?" Megan replies.
"Sure are!" Mals voice booms from the doorway.
"Thanks. But no boys in the girls cabin." Cassie says laughing.
"Alright, alright I can respect that." Mal says backing up.
We get back to the beach the water is rippling with deep blues now. Conner is starting a fire out of dry driftwood. Wally and Artemis are still splashing around in the water.
"Hey Cassie where's Dick?" I ask quietly.
"I don't know? You should check on the plane." She reply's.
Could he really still be sleeping? Wow.
I walk up the plane ramp. Sure enough there he is still sleeping he forehead is red from hitting the window.
Aww he's so cute when he's sleeping.
I walk over and gently nudge him on the shoulder. His hand whips and grabs my wrist.
He looks startled, then smiles and releases my wrist.
"Sorry, fast reflexes." He says chuckling.
"Dick I would have thought you could control yourself. I guess not." I say flashing a smile at him.
He stands up getting close to me.
"You're so pretty." He says genuinely.
"Dick..." I say sighing.
I start to walk away and he grabs my hand and whips me into him. He holds me in his strong arms and looks down with his beautiful blue eyes.
"I mean it." He says softly.
He leans down and kisses my lips gently, and I kiss back. I run my hands through his black hair.
Wow. This. This is amazing.
He pulls away and steps back.
Cassie runs aboard the plane.
"Sorry was I interrupting?" She says worriedly.
"No, Barbra just woke me up." Dick says casually.
"Oh okay, well come on we're making dinner." She waves us over.
Dick grabs his bag and winks before stepping of the plane.
My stomach flops.
This is going to be interesting.
