Sorrt about the wait. Been going through a lot over the holidays and had no time to write, but hopefully ill be able to at least finish my two stories i have now soon.

It was finally Sunday. Zatanna had been very impatient waiting for this day to come. She isn't sure if its because she wanted Artemis and Megan to stop saying she was getting back together with Dick all the time, or because she secretly wanted them to be right. She was sitting at the counter of the cave eating a bowl of cereal thinking over what she was going to wear tonight when she heard bickering from down the hall. Wally and Artemis came around the corner and were arguing like they usually did, but she couldn't hear what about.

"Some things never change" Zatanna said playfully

Wally and Artemis looked up in surprise at her voice and walked over to her.

"Kid Idiot over here invited a house guest over without telling me" Artemis said

"He just needs a place to crash for a little bit, there was a fire at his place" Wally said

"Who is it?" Zatanna asked

"Nightwing" Wally said simply

"Can't he just go stay at the manor?" ZAtanna asked

"That's what i said" Artemis said

"He doesn't want to rely on Bruce whenever he has a problem. He's our friend, I don't see the problem here"

"I would just like to be consulted next time before you offer our guest room out to masked ninjas" Artemis retorted

She gave a look to Zatanna and smirked

"Besides, he's probably going to be going over to Zee's place after their romantic dinner tonight anyway"

"Will you stop that?" Zatanna said with a blush "Even if he is my guest tonight, I wouldn't sleep with him over a fancy dinner"

Wally looked confused between the two girls

"You really haven't figured out who your dinner guest is? Batman would be so dissapionted in you two"

"You know?!" Both girls said at the same time

"Yeah, I helped set everything up for tonight" Wally said biting into a bagel

Artemis and Zatanna looked at each other and then back to Wally

"Who is it?!" They said at the same time again

"Ive been sworn to secrecy" Wally said

"Come on just tell us, Ive been dying to find out since she told me about all this" Artemis said

"Yeah, who would know if you told us right now?" Zatanna said

"I would"

"AAAHHH" Both girls screamed turning around to see Nightwing standing there in full costume

"Why do you always have to do that?!" Artemis said checking her pulse

Zatanna looked back to a chuckling Wally "You knew he was behind us? Didn't you?"

"Saw him walk out of the hallway" He said with a grin

"You will just have to wait till tonight to see who your guest is" Dick said pointing to Zatanna "And you will have to wait until she texts you to tell you" he said to Artemis

"Ready to go?" Wally said

"Where? We just got here" Artemis replied

"Talking to Nightwing babe, were going to look at places for him to move too and see if any of his stuff survived the fire before his recon mission tonight" Wally said walking over to Artemis and kissing her on the forehead "Have fun tonight Zee"

Dick looked back to the two girls to say good bye but was cut off by Zatanna

"So how many people know about this little dinner?'

"Well obviously Wally, and you know Tim is involved. Um like four other people, including the guest" Dick said

"Who else?" She asked

"You'll see later, actually I'm glad i ran into you before i left" Dick said going into a pocket on his utility belt "Zeta to these coordinates for your ride to the restaurant tonight and do it at exactly 6:30"

"Wait whose picking me up?" Zatanna said looking up from the paper "Seriously? I hate when he does that"

Wally looked to see that Nightwing had disappeared like he usually does and noticed the two girls staring at him menissingly

"Looks like that's my cue" he said zipping off

"Ugh him too?" Artemis said fixing her hair after he ran by

"Well at least its Sunday and i only have to wait a few more hours to find out" Zatanna said

-Linebreak-

Later that night at 6

Zatanna was pacing around her room anxiously wondering if she should go through with this dinner while Megan tried to calm her down.

"Will you sit down and let me do your hair and make up?" Megan said

"I'm not sure i need it done Megs, i might not do this" Zatanna said worriedly

"But you have to! Dick went through so much trouble!" Megan said

"How do you know? Are you one of the people that know who I'm meeting?"

"No, but after you told me i tried to read Dicks mind and find out. I know I know, I shouldn't do that, but i figured he'd never know. Well he figured i would try that and he really knows how to make sure his mind cant be read. Anyway all i know is he went through hell to get this done"

Zatanna sat down and stared at herself in the mirror

"Guess i have no choice then" she looked at Megan and smiled " Alight Megan, make me pretty" she said with a smile

"Zee your already gorgeous, but ill do your hair and make up anyway" Megan said with a smile

-outside the cave Zeta 6:25-

Zatanna was standing at the Zeta tubes getting rieady to meet whoever was giving her a ride to this dinner with Megan and Artemis.

"Are you ready?" Megan asked excitedly

"I think so" Zatanna said nerviously "I just want to know who it is already, everyone that knows seems really ecited about it"

Tim came around the corner in full Robin gear with Batgirl right behind. Tim pulled up his Hallo-screen and looked at the time.

"Dont you have to get going?" he said looking at Zatanna "Nice dress by the way"

"Thanks Ti- uh i mean Robin, and Nightwing said to zeta at exactly 6:30, so i got five minutes still" Zatanna said

"Thats right, forgot how punctual he is" Tim laughed as his communicator went off "Robin here"

'Robin, I need yours and Batgirls assistance here in Gotham tracking a new shippment of fear toxin by Scarecrow. Also, tell Artemis shes needed for back up to Kid Flash in Central. Nightwing out'

"Looks like duty calls, You her that Arty?" Tim said dismissing his Hallo-screen

"Yeah yeah, I heard. Sorry I cant see you off Zee, but I want to hear all about this dinner and who your guest was after I'm done with this mission." Artemis said

"You'll be the first to hear, dont worry" Zatanna said chuckling as she hugged Artemis

"Excuse me? how about the one who did your hair and make up? I want to know just as bad" Megan said crossing her arms

"Ok Ok, I'll group chat you guys" Zee said chuckling

After telling Zatanna to have a good time tonight, Rbin, Batgirl, and Artemis all Zeta'd away to Thierry missions, leaving Zee and Megan.

"Ok its 6:30, moment of truth time" Zatanna said looking at her watch

"Have fun Zee, you deserve it. And for what its worth, i know i teased you a lot, but i do hope you and Dick do end up back together. You both were much happier with each other"

"Thanks Megan" Zatanna said hugging her alien friend

Zatanna stepped through the Zeta and was transported to Gotham. She looked towards the street to see a black car waiting for her. She walked forwards it cautiously, this was still Gotham. As she got closer the driver side door opened up and out got... Alfred. Zatanna couldn't help but smile and the older gentleman and give him a big hug as she got to the car.

"Of course Dick would have you involved" Zatanna said with a giggle "How have you been Alfred?"

"The usual Miss Zatanna, better these past few days knowing Master Richard is bending over backwards to make so many friends happy, especially you" Alfred said with a small grin as he opened the door to the car forZaatanna to get in.

Zatannna scooted to the middle and put her seatbelt on and noticed a bottle of wine on ice in front of her with a note.

'This is for your dinner tonight, Alfie wont let you drink it in the car since your still under age. And the she's a superhero argument didn't work, just like it didn't on that New Years at the manor with the team.

-Dick-'

"I stand very true to that statement Miss Zatanna" Alfred said pulling away from the curb

"Don't worry Alfred, I wont open it." Zatanna said grinning "You said Dick was bending over backwards to make his friends happy, who else is he doing stuff like this for?" Zatanna said curiously

"I do believe that you will have to wait for them to tell themselves, miss Zatanna" Alfred said with a smile

"Ugh, he is really testing my patience this past week" Zatanna groaned

"Well you will see all in good time dear" Alfred said

"Can i ask you a question Alfred?" Zatanna said

"If it is about your dinner guest, I am sworn to secrecy. If it is about wether or not you and Master Richard will get back together after this. I haven't a doubt in my mind" Alfred said with a smile seeing the shocked look on Zatanna's face

"Seriously? You too? Well at least you cant just disappear after telling me that like everyone else has been this past week" Zatanna said looking at the elder man with a small smile

"We have arrived miss Zatanna" Alfred said parking th car and getting out to open her door

Zatanna said a quick thank you to Alfred and gave hi a quick hug and walked into the restaurant. She doesn't know why she's surprised to find it empty. Of course Dick would rent out the whole place, what she is truly surprised about is seeing Tim and Barbra behind the host stand in waiter uniforms.

"What are you two doing here? I thought you went with Nightwing after the Scarecrow?" Zatanna said confused

"That was just to throw you off, I told him we were near you and he called with a fake mission." Tim said

"It gave us enough time to get here before you and set up and change" Barbra said

"Plus Alfred is the mater at distracting people. We weren't quite ready yet so he drove you around the block twice" Tim said

"He did?! I didn't even notice" Zatanna said "So wait? If that whole recon mission was bullshit, does that mean my guest is.."

"Nope, still not Dick" Barbra chuckled "But he is right around the corner

""Your guest, not Dick" Tom clarified "We'll take that bottle of wine and bring you some glasses for it and leave you two to talk before we bring out your meals"

Zatanna handed over the bottle and slowly made her way to the main room. She was so nervous and excited at the same time to finally see who her guest is. She stopped just before the door frame and collected herself for a moment before she went in. After getting her breathing back to normal she decided it has been long enough and rounded the corner.

She wished immediately that she had taken a few more moments as her hands went straight to her mouth to try and suppress the gasp. She was frozen in place just starring at the person sitting at the table waiting for her.

"Zatanna, please come sit"

A/N:
