A/N I cannot tell you guys how happy you make me! So many reviews and hits, just for the first chapter. *Sob* I promised myself I wouldn't cry…
Artemis: Is she always like this?
Wally: Sadly, yes. I think she forgot her meds today…You wanna do the honors?
Artemis: *Shoots arrow next to head*

Tears prickled in the corners of her eyes and Artemis wiped at them angrily. "You idiot…" She couldn't quite keep her voice from breaking. "I care because I love you."
