~~At the Chemistry class (still)~~
"Then you must write in your notebooks the formula of all the substances and fluids that are on your desks. After that, you choose any…"
"Okay, what are we gonna do?" Zatanna asked playfully and curiously.
Dick tried hard not to blush at this. He chuckled.
"Have you ever played the game minesweeper? It`s like when you have to click all the cells that are not sapped to win," Zatanna nodded smiling. "So, here I want to fill this jar up with those liquids and substances that won`t explode, when we`ll mix them, heh," the boy turned to the devices thinking over an evil plan.
Zatanna giggled. There were 5 flasks with liquids left and about 7 small boxes with different substances in it. The magician reached for a flask with yellow fluid and poured it into the jar with already hissing and foaming strange… thing. Suddenly, it became bluish and began seethe and rise slowly. Dick and Zatanna watched with their eyes widened. But then the fluid in the jar stopped and looked like usual blue colored water.
The teens gave each other proud and satisfied looks. It was Dick`s turn to add something into the jar, but suddenly they`ve heard someone whispering.
"What are you doing? She`s gonna kill you two for that!" It was Barbara, she was shouting at them from behind her new partner. "Dick! Think of your reputation!"
"Oh, c`mon, Babs!" Grayson waved off rolling his eyes. "And this madam won`t exclude my reputation from the school."
Barbara sighed angrily whispering and ending up the conversation:
"Do whatever you want!"
Zatanna giggled.
"She cares about you," she said turning back to their little prank.
"I know, but right now it won`t stop me…" Dick replied while choosing a little box and raining everything that was there into the jar.
Zatanna watched it foaming again and being a bit afraid that it`ll pour out onto the desk. But it didn`t happen. She then took a flask with a pink fluid, but was stopped by Dick who grabbed her hand.
"Wait!" He took away the flask from the girl. "Let`s add some other of this stuff and this one will be last, huh?"
"Why? It`s my turn to choose what to pour, so…" Zatanna reached for the flask in boy wonder`s hand, but he only pulled his hand farther. "Give it to me!" she stated.
"Na-ah," Robin shook his head. "Let`s add that one!" he pointed at one of the left liquids. But Zatanna went obstinate.
"Hey, that`s not fair… Dick, right?" she asked forgetting about the experiment for some time.
Grayson smirked. "Exactly, Richard, but you can call me Dick."
"Well, nice to play kinda minesweeper with you, Dick," Zatanna smiled and stared for a while. It was a trap.
She sharply reached for the stolen flask again, but she didn`t know that Richard had a good reaction and ninja skills, so her attempt was in vain.
The magician was almost leaning on the desk, while Dick was quietly chuckling. Suddenly she pulled ahead and poked the flask with her fingers so it flew up to the air. Dick wanted to catch it again, but he just touched it with his fingertips so it moved behind the two teens` chairs. Zatanna tried to reach for the flask before it could fall on the floor, but… unfortunately she failed.
A quiet sound of the broken thin glass sounded in the class. Some students and the teacher turned to the noise source to find two teenagers innocently looking back at them and sitting like angels. When everyone turned away from them, both Zatanna and Dick exchanged glances and burst into a quiet but almost hysterical laughter.
When the teens calmed down (though they giggled sometimes) they went on with the experiment. Every time they added a substance or liquid the thing in the jar began hissing, but nothing interesting happened with it, well, except it was changing its color.
After about 10 minutes there was one box left. Dick and Zatanna were staring at each other to decide who`s gonna do it.
"Ladies first…" Dick mumbled still staring at Zatanna.
The girl shrugged with a smirk on her lips and opened the little box and strewed everything that was there into the jar. Suddenly they winced from the teacher`s voice:
"Grayson! Zatara! What are you doing?" she asked angrily and quickly made her way to the students who gulped getting ready their ears to die from the woman`s scream.
While she was preaching about the rules of behavior during the lesson and at school as a whole the mess in the jar was seething and bubbling, so the jar was slightly shaking. Zatanna noticed it and was about to interrupt, but it was too late…
~~At the principal`s office~~
"I didn`t expect this from you two," said a young woman quietly, but firmly. "Richard, you`re the honor of our school. And you, Zatanna… it`s your first day here," she looked at both teens, who were wiping away the strange gray jelly from their faces and uniforms with doilies. "And you brought Mrs. Hoggarth to a tantrum!"
"We`re so sorry about that," Zatanna said quietly without looking up at the principal.
The adult sighed.
"I just hope you didn`t want to really explode the class, did you?" she asked with her palm on her forehead.
"We didn`t," said Dick holding back a chuckle and who finally finished with the rest of the mess on his uniform, though there were some drops of it on his face, but he couldn`t see it.
The principal sighed again, but without any anger, she was calm.
"I know you two are good students, but you have to be punished. You get a detention on a week. Every day since this one you both stay after lessons and clean the classrooms where you had last ones. Everything is clear?" The teens nodded. "Then, you can go now."
~~After the last lesson~~
All the students rushed to the hallway and then to the entrance to finally go home or hang out with friends. They all were finally free! That sweet feeling of freedom…
For some pupils it hasn`t been reached yet. And even superheroes are not the exceptions.
Zatanna and Dick stayed in the History class for a detention. The girl looked around and decided to clean the blackboard first.
'If only I could use my magic…' she sighed sadly.
Dick heard that and smirked.
"Ah, I regret I`m not a magician and don`t know at least one spell to clean this class up in a blink of an eye," he teased his partner while simply sitting on the desk.
Suddenly, she threw a rag in his head. "Hey!" he said taking it away from his hair. "What was that for? I didn`t do anything!"
"That`s it! While I`m working you`re just dreaming! Not. Fair." Zatanna finished turning away and taking another rag and continuing her work.
Dick rolled his eyes. Suddenly a sweet idea came to his mind and a huge sly grin plastered on his face.
He quietly neared to the magician and put the wet rag that she`d thrown in him earlier on top of her head so it hid her eyes. She screamed and took it off sharply. Next she looked at the boy who was already innocently going to his desk and whistling as if nothing happened. Zatanna smirked slyly and said:
"Is it a war?"
"Hmm?" Dick faced her stopping on his way. Then he looked up thinking. "I don`t think so… maybe just a little fight?" he smiled.
Zatanna chuckled slightly. "Asterously clean fight."
~~20 minutes later~~
The fight was in the heat. Both Dick and Zatanna had slightly wet hair and soap spots on their uniforms.
The magician was hiding behind the teacher`s table and preparing some rags, water balloons and soaps. She hooked it all on the belt, which two teens found in the cabinet. Dick had the same one.
Meanwhile Dick sat behind and prepared the same things. But first they both wanted to attack with buckets full of water (they went really crazy).
Zatanna spoke: "Three…"
"… two…" Richard continued taking the bucket and weapons.
"ONE!"
Both teens shoot out at the same time from their barricades and in a split second approached to each other to bring down the buckets on them. A sound of splash echoed in the class. Both Zatanna and Dick soaped each other`s faces and hair (crazy, huh? XD), then they went back to the barricades and began to throw water balloons in each other. A foam and water all on the floor, soaps and rags were flying from one corner of the class to another, the chaos and laughter reigned in the atmosphere.
When there was no balloon left, the teens fell on the wet floor and began to laugh non-stop. They got sousing, their uniforms were terrible and their hair was disheveled. But the happiest grins were leaning on their faces, their eyes were sparkling and their laughter was ringing merrily in the class.
5 minutes later two crazy teens calmed down but still couldn`t stop smiling. Zatanna was squeezing the water from her hair and after she was done with it she said:
"I think we should clean up this place quickly. Could you go and fill the buckets?" She stood up squeezing her skirt.
"Yeah, but I`m not sure we`ll do this as fast as we need it," Dick replied taking the buckets and making his way to the hallway.
Zatanna just smiled at this.
When Dick was enough far away to not hear everything that`s gonna happen in the class, the magician went in the center and spelled:
"Realc siht ecalp!" As the words were spoken the water and foam that were on the floor began to disappear slowly in light pink shine. The soaps and rags levitated and landed on where they were supposed to be. After 2 minutes everything was shining in purity.
"What the-? I mean, how did you-?" sounded the boy`s voice in doors.
"Ehm, I don`t know, I`ve just come here and it was done already," Zatanna shrugged pretending like she was surprised too.
Of course, the bird knew that the girl used her magic spell. So he silently smirked when Zatanna turned away.
In 5 minutes the teens were already standing in the school gates.
"You know, today was a great day! I`ve never thought that my first day of school will be so cool!" Zatanna giggled.
"I`ve never thought I`ll ever have a day like this. D`ya remember that evil madam`s face after the explosion?"
Both students burst in laughter after a small pause.
"Oh, okay, I gotta go, see ya tomorrow!" Zatanna waved as she turned around and went the way to an old payphone to reach Mount Justice.
Dick watched her going away and smiled at the shape of his girlfriend in sunshine.

"I`m home!" Richard screamed cheerfully and ran to the kitchen, `cause he was very hungry. He took a cookie from the plate.
"What happened to you, Master Richard?" asked Alfred looking at Dick in amusement.
"Mmm… had an asterously clean fight at school," said the boy wonder as he ran upstairs to the bathroom.

"Zatanna, where have you been? I haven`t seen ya after-… What happened to you?" asked Artemis standing from the coach and widening her eyes at her friend.
"Ehm… had an asterously clean fight at school," Zatanna giggled going to the bathroom to take a shower.
So, how was it? Did you like it? ;D Don`t know why, but I think wasn`t the fight part too... well, crazy? Just review please! ;) See ya!~
