I was going to make this chapter angsty but I realized we needed some good ol' fluffiness and humor.
Then I realized I wasn't funny.
So this is probably only funny to me...
So, parts in italic are... My attempts at comedy.
I may be straying a leeeeetttle bit from the prompt
Prompt- Accusation
"Aww, aren't you the cutest little-"
THUMP
"-thing when you're-"
THUMP
"-wearing-"
THUMP THUMP THUMP
"Shut up!"
Silence.
Wally sighed and shrugged at Artemis who pulled her rabbit ears off and glanced at the ceiling.
"What was-"
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
"Whatthehellwasthat!" Wally said quickly, getting out what he had to say before-
THUMP
"Someone is going to die." Artemis whispered, staring at her huge rabbit feet. Wally wriggled a little further back in his chair. Something about a trained killer making death threats in a bunny suit freaked him out a little.
"You don't think it's-"
THUMP
"-Rob and Zatanna. Do you?" Wally asked slowly, waiting for the next thump.
Artemis screwed up her face. "IT BURNS! GET IT OUT OF MY MIND! EEEWW!"
THUMP
"I didn't mean it like that! I was wondering if maybe Z was practicing a spell." Wally said quickly, his eyes widening.
"One that makes dust mites turn into-"
THUMP
"-Elephants?" Artemis said sarcastically, rolling he eyes.
At that very moment, Robin strolled in. He wore a tuxedo and dark glasses.
"Trust you to wear sunglasses to your own teammates party." Wally said, rolling his eyes.
"Don't say a word. I heard you say-"
THUMP
"-that Artemis was cute!" Dick sniggered.
THUMP
"You must have been mistaken. I just wish she were mute." Wally threw a glare towards Artemis who returned the favor.
"It's not hard to mistake what people say-"
THUMP
"-When you're drowned out by a pack of fricken elephants!" Artemis growled, throwing a cushion at the roof.
It stopped a meter short of its destination before beginning its decent. Robin grabbed it out of the air and pulled it to his chest. "Whatever you say, lovebirds. Why don't you kiss her? Wally, you do to realize she's not your enemy. And... Just so you know Artemis, you look really freaky in the suit."
"I know, right?" Wally said nodding, "I swear to God I'm gonna have nightmares. How do you sleep knowing THAT is in a room a few doors down?"
Robin rolled his eyes. "You two are bleeding love."
Zatanna trotted in and smiled. "The thumping's stopped!" She said gleefully.
Wally sped over and pressed a finger to her lips, earning a harsh glare from Robin.
"It's over" Wally said, grinning.
"Shut up or it'll-"
THUMP
"Relapse. Nice one, Wally."
THUMP THUMP THUMP
"He said relapse after, so he's not allowed to say I told you so." Connor pointed out as he walked into the room, wearing his usual shirt inside out. He settled down on the couch. "Wally taught me that."
Wally bowed, making his costume for the party sag.
Zatanna held up her hands. "I have been in the room for two minutes and no one has mentioned the fact that Wally is in a sumo wrestling suit."
"Every body who's anybody knows that sumo suits are in fashion," Connor piped up, "Wally taught me that too"
Artemis punched Wally in the arm. "It is because you live that Connor is so stuffed up in the head."
"Hey! Connor has a beautiful soul!" M'gann argued, entering the room. Zatanna glanced at the girl sitting on the couch uneasily. For some reason, she found the fact that M'gann was a lion (Simba, supposedly) much more scary than the fact that Artemis was in a rabbit costume.
"Shut up! Guys! Its stopped!" Robin exclaimed.
The whole team was silent for a moment.
THUMP
"I hate you Rob" Wally groaned, throwing his head back.
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
Artemis let out a deep breath and clenched her fists.
Connor nudged M'gann who raised her eyebrows.
"I can tell from her body language that she is planning to commit murder." he whispered. M'gann nodded curtly and sat back in the cushion, trying not to make eye contact with the fuming archer.
THUMP THUMP THUMP
"Hold on. If M'ganns here, and Connor, and Wally and Artemis, and Kal is out..." Rob began.
THUMP
"Rocket!" Wally cried, jumping up.
Zatanna shrugged, "Wow, where did you get the facts to make that accusation?" she said sarcastically.
"Same place he gets all ideas." Artemis called. She was already halfway down the hall, peeking, climbing up the set of stairs. The rest of the team raced to follow. "From up his a- wow. Rocket!"
The rest of the team skidded to a halt outside the door, and marveled on the sight. In the center of the room was a huge pool, surrounded by water features. The edges were a little rough, suggesting that they had been carved away by laser bolts - just like the ones Rocket used. Upon closer inspection, the team realized each water feature was a different member of the team. Although the places where the water came from wasn't exactly pleasant.
"So Kal can go right back into the water!" she cried, clapping her hands together. She was dressed as what looked a whole lot like a punk mermaid.
"And the thumping?" Artemis asked slowly.
"Oh, that was me trying to get the last few pipes into place." Rocket grinned.
"Do we have to go swimming? Because this costume is a hire." Wally stated, gesturing to his sumo wrestler suit.
Zatanna clicked her fingers and muttered something under her breath, transforming her fairy costume into a bathing suit. She waved her hands at the team and their suits were changed, too.
M'gann suddenly yelped, her hand flying to her forehead. "Kaldur'ahm is coming!" she cried, launching herself into the pool.
Her friends shrugged and dived in after her.
Kal walked in and glanced around at the suddenly dark room. "Team? Are you-"
"SURPRISE!" The team shouted, jumping out of the water. The lights flickered back on and Kal smiled.
"You remembered!"
"How could we forget your birthday?" Connor exclaimed, gesturing to the water. "Jump in!"
Kal dived in, perfectly, of course. The team stared at the patch of bubbles for a few minutes before realizing Kal wasn't coming up anytime soon.
Rob glanced back at Rocket while the rest of the team started splashing in the water.
"What did you do?"
"Hold back on the accusations, Robin!" Rocket said, forcing a smile.
"This was my office. My lab. And my equipment! What did you do with everything?"
"This may blow your mind... But, uh, you see that pile of steaming metal in the corner?"
Wally glanced back at his friends arguing, and grinned.
"Thump."
If you don't already know, the italics are the name of Jesse McCartney songs
Har-di-har.
