All I have to say is that I wish I owned the rights to Young Justice. I would make it so that everyone gets their happy endings. Forget what other people say, I own that show! Sadly, its just a pipe dream that won't come true unless I win the lottery... twice.

Of course, I want to say thanks to the people who left me reviews. I didn't have time to respond back to you so I'll do it here.

j9162: Thanks for the review. I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations.

randommonkeyz998: You were right, I was disappointed with the episode. There better be a good reason as to why they didn't show Wally and Artemis! I did however, watch the next few episodes (to up the latest one) and was taken by the turn of events. I wish they aired these episodes on a daily basis.

Keepmovingforward2: Disappointed and pissed! Makes me want to Hulk out and bash the skulls of these writers together. I don't care if Wally and Linda is the end game but who cares, this is Earth-16. Let us have a Wally and Artemis future!

Sirens in the water: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like writing about this pairing. They have good chemistry together so its a pleasure to continue writing.

heart the speedster: You know, I get the same feeling whenever I reread my own work. I don't know if that's a good thing or not but for me, I would like to have an image in my head whenever I'm reading something. It makes the story that much better.

Irenerb: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad that there are people out there that are enjoying these random but related one-shots. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter as well.

Chapter 2: Dare

If this was any other day, Wally would have been the first one on that couch, with his feet up against the table and his eyes glued to the television. The seating arrangement was positioned perfectly. To the left was the Zeta-tubes that could transport him anywhere in the world, continental destinations only of course and to his right, was the kitchen where the delicious aroma of freshly baked cookies filled the air.

It was the perfect scenario. How can life get any sweeter than this? Aside from those perks, the team also had a day off, which was totally awesome. Well technically, Batman told them to review and analyze their last mission but what Batman doesn't know won't hurt him. Even Red Tornado was reporting to the Watchtower for monitor duty.

Sadly enough, today was not just any other day. Just as Wally was making his way to the living room, He saw something that made him stop cold. There before his eyes was someone sitting on the couch... and in his spot no less. Wally couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He recognized that those blond locks anywhere.

"Artemis!" Wally yelled. In a split second, he was across the room, his arms folded against his chest. "Move."

"Excuse me?" Artemis replied, her eyes glaring straight at the resident speedster. "I don't think I heard you correctly Baywatch. Are you actually telling me to move?"

"Of course not. I'm not telling you to move." Wally replied. "I'm demanding you to scram! Vamoose! Get lost! Take a hike! Skedaddle!"

Artemis inwardly smiled. While she would never admit it to him, it was amusing to see him so flustered. It was just one of the little things that she liked about the teen. "Nope. I was here first Kid Turtle. Why don't you go sit someplace else?"

Wally pointed at her and dropped his jaw. He promptly closed it but dropped it again. Words wanted to come out of his mouth but every time he wanted to say something, nothing would come out.

"You... but... That's my spot!" Wally argued. "Everyone knows that. It's like the unwritten rule in this cave. Like how you're not supposed to enter Conner's room or never touch Robin's gadgets. Knockout gas might spray you in the face!"

Artemis sighed, shaking her head at her teammate. "Wally... those rules only apply to you. Everyone else has enough common sense not to do anything stupid. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out you know."

"Still, it's a moot point! That's my seat! You're in my seat!" Wally pouted, "I want my seat!"

"Again, I ask. There are other seats on this couch. Why can't you take another seat?"

"That seat is the perfect location for everything!" Wally explained. "If I'm sitting there, it would mean that the distance between the Zeta-tubes and the couch is equaled to the distance between the kitchen and the couch. I will have the option of using the kitchen for food if I'm craving some delicious home baked snacks or take out from anyplace in the US. You can't ask for a better setup than this."

Artemis closed her eyes, reminding herself that this was the guy that she might or might not have feelings for. Who was she kidding? She definitely had feelings for this idiot. Wally wasn't like most guys. He didn't have an excellent body with ripping muscles like Superboy nor was he rich like the snobby kids back at school. None of those things mattered to her. There was one thing that made Wally stand out above all.

He has the ability to make her smile and to her, that puts him on the top of her book.

"Artyyy." Wally whined, hoping that the way he was acting would encourage her feel a little bit of sympathy for him. "I need to sit in my seat. Have a heart please!"

"No." Artemis sternly replied. "Look Baywatch, nothing will get me out of this seat. Not Batman, not Green Arrow and definitely not you."

"Is that so?" A mischievous look appeared on his face. "Well then, I guess that settles it. You leave me with no choice."

Artemis immediately noticed the sly grin on his face. It was the same look that he had whenever he pulled a prank. "Don't you dare Kid Idiot." She growled.

"Oh I dare beautiful." Wally cheekily answered.

In the time that it took Artemis to blink and fully realize what happened, she was amazed to see just how fast Wally was able to move. Sure he carried her a few times while they were out on missions but this was something different. The once empty table was filled with snacks, including some of her favorites. She then felt herself being lifted and was now sitting on top of his lap. A blush feverishly appeared, turning her cheeks red.

"Put me down you idiot!" Artemis squirmed, trying to remove herself from his lap. She struggled for a minute, hoping that Wally would get the message but he didn't. His hold remained firm around her waist.

"Sorry Arty but you dared me." Wally snickered, leaning back on the couch. He pulled her closer to him, her scent overwhelming his senses. "So what are we watching?"

"I don't know." Artemis muttered, turning her head slightly so Wally couldn't see her blush. "Just pick something Kid Idiot."

"Well excuse me for being a gentlemen here." Wally rolled his eyes and reached for the bowl of chips with his left hand. Artemis sat there, her eyes glued to the television set. She was afraid that if she turned her head, he would see how embarrassed she was.

"You know... for the record. I like this." Wally suddenly said. He gently slid her down onto the couch, right next to him and pulled her legs onto his lap. "It's very comfortable."

Artemis stared at him, her eyes filled with unspoken words. It was these small gestures that Wally did that gave her butterflies. It could have been the acts of chivalry that he's been displaying or the attention that he was giving her.

In a way, it made her feel special and that made her smile.

Artemis tilted her head up and put a small kiss on his cheek. She felt the rhythm of his heart increased and she whispered, "I like this too."

So what did you guys think?
