It was party time. The big day, the day the clown prince of crime was going to take part in a challenge. The challenge to make Bruce Wayne his. After Selina Kyle realized that she wasn't going to talk him out of it, she decided to help him. She helped him pick out some clothes. She coached him on how to act in social events. She even taught him how to dance. After Riddler realized he wasn't going to be talked out of it, he grumpily watched in the corner.

The three stood outside the place where the charity ball was going to be held. Selina was in a black sparkly dress. Edward (Riddler) was in his classic look, a green suit, minus the question marks of course. Joker was all gussied up with his disguised. He was wearing a cream colored suit with a lavender tie.

"Last chance to back out, clown." Edward whispered. "We could just go home and forget all about this silly challenge." His voice was filled with disdain.

"Stop being such a sour puss, Eddie. No one forced you to come." Joker playfully slapped his arm. "Kittycat, you know Bruce. Do you think I look normal enough for him?"

"You look purr-fect, clown." Selina placed her hands on her hips. "Now, come on you two. Escort me inside." The three linked arms, headed inside, then found an empty table.

"I guess it's good thing the bird's not here." Joker stated.

"Why's that?" Edward questioned.

"We would have looked uneven with our arms linked." He replied.

"We could have went in two groups."

"You and the arctic bird would kill each other before we got to the table."

"Shut up, you two. He's looking at us." Selina Kyle snapped.

Bruce Wayne was staring at them from the bar, no doubt he recognized Selina. Selina smiled and waved. "Let me speak to him, first then I'll call you over. Before that, What's your name, Joker?"

"Joe Kerrcard. We met at an art museum in munich and were besties ever since."

"Right. I'll be going now. Riddler, behave." Selina pointed a finger at him as she said the last word. She then left to go talk to Bruce.

"Selina, I wondered when you were going to show up." Bruce had a slight smirk on his face and a glass full of alcohol in his hand. The woman sat next to him.

"Bruce, I have to ask a favor from you."

The billionaire shook his head. "I'm not going to join your swingers club, Miss. Kyle." He laughed to himself. Selina's eyes widen and she mouthed 'okay'.

"What makes you think I'm in swingers club?"

"The two pieces of meat you had on your arms."

Selina laughed. "They are nothing but toys. You know that."

"Of course." He took another drink. "What's the favor?"

"Involves one of the toys over there." Selina gestured with her head. "He's been dying to meet you ever since he found out I knew you." She rolled her eyes as the bartender sat a drink in front of her.

"How did I know?" Bruce shook his head.

"Just give him a chance, Bruce. That's all I'm asking. He really has his heart set on talking to you tonight." Selina made a pouty face. The billionaire sighed.

"Which one is he and what's his deal?"

"The blonde. His name is Joe and I met him at an art museum. We've been thick as thieves ever since. He's a wannabe comedian, but don't tell him I said that." Selina took a long, deep drink of her drink. "Ready to meet him?"

"I guess I'm ready as I'll ever be."

Selina stood up and beckoned the blonde to come over. Joker laughed and clapped several times before making his way over there.

He took Selina's seat and faced Bruce. With a smile on his face, he extended his hand out "Bruce Wayne, this is Joe Kerrcard. Joe, this is-"

Joker cut her off with a chuckle. "I know who this is." He clasped the billionaire's hand with both of his shook a little too roughly.

Selina shook her head and grabbed her drink. "Good luck, rich boy." She said more to herself as she made her back to her table.

"This is going to be fun, don't you think Edward?"

Edward responded by stealing her glass and chugging it.

"That's rude, Ed. You're lucky that I don't have my claws out." Her tone was teasing. He didn't notice, he was too busy watching the two at the bar.

Suddenly a smile appeared on his face. Edward stood up and offered Selina his hand. "Would you care for a dance?"

Selina shrugged before taking his hand. "Sure, it beats just sitting around here."

The two villains slow danced together. It was a little clumsy since Riddler kept stepping off beat. "I swear if you step on my toes one more-" He hushed her.

"I'm trying to hear what they're saying."

"Trying to hear what whose sayi-" The Catwoman was cut off again but this time by him dipping her. "Oh, I see now." Riddler had them dancing close to the bar.

When she got back up, she pressed herself against Edward. They turned so they can both see them. "Have you heard anything?"

"No."

"Well, whatever they are talking about. They look like they're having having fun."

The two men at the bar did appear to be having fun. Well, as much fun as Bruce Wayne allowed himself to have. Suddenly Joker noticed his friends staring. A light went on in his head. He stood up and did the unthinkable. The clown prince pulled Bruce out onto the dance floor.

Joker's dancing made Riddler's look professional. At this point Selina and Edward went made to their seats to watch this train wreck from a safe distance. This would definitely be in the tabloids.

"Look, Eddie. It seems we don't have to do this much longer. Look how uncomfortable Bruce looks, poor-rrr thing."

Edward smiled with relief. "Hopefully you are right, Cat."

A sound went off to indicate the bidding was about to start. Joker grabbed Bruce's hand and patted his back. He said something like 'See you soon.' The billionaire responded by nodding. The two parted way. Joker went back to their table.

"You ready to give this up, so we can get started on our real work?" Edward whispered as Joker sat down.

"Why would I do that?" Joker smiled as if he had no care in the world.

"Because you lost. There's no way in hell, he's going to have you after the thing you just pulled."

"Oh, really? " Joker asked as a staff member walked up to the table. He sat down a drink and a card. The card had a phone number on it and said "Bruce Wayne - Call me."

"What was that, Eddie, dear?" He asked in a sickly sweet tone before taking a drink.
