A/N: I plan on having "Girl Talk" to be a series of entries. There will be some with just Traci and Cassie, Cissie and Stephanie, all four of the girls, some where one, two, or all of the girls go to M'Gann, etc. I hope you enjoy this first installment of Girl Talk!

I do not own Young Justice.


It was a Sunday afternoon and Cassie was sitting in a booth at Bibbo's Diner waiting for Traci to arrive. A few days ago, Traci offered for the two of them to hang out together and since they both have quite a sweet tooth, it was agreed that Bibbo's Diner would be the first stop of their day.

After a few more minutes Traci finally arrived. "Sorry I'm late." She said as she sat down opposite from Cassie. "I got caught up with some house chores that my dad gave me. I hope you weren't waiting too long."

"Nah I've only been here for like 5 minutes." Cassie answered her. She looked at the menu. "I love the apple pies here." She said.

"I like the devil's food cake. It's feels like heaven in your mouth." Traci said.

A waiter came and took their dessert orders, along with two cups of hot chocolate, and left.

"So how have you been Cassie?" Traci asked with a smile, her hands crossed underneath her chin.

"Eh I've been okay. Nothing spectacular has really happened." Cassie said with a shrug. "How about you?" She asked.

"Same on my end. My training with Zatanna is going good!" Traci said. "Oh cool! You think that what you are learning is helping a lot when it comes to controlling your powers?" Cassie asked.

"Oh most definitely! Zatanna is a really great mentor and gives me so many great tools and training exercises! There's still a few hiccups…..but I'm getting there!" Traci said.

"I'm glad! Ha-ha remember when you accidentally sent a bad luck blast Jaime's way during our spar training?" Cassie asked with a laugh. Traci covered her face with embarrassment.

"Oh my gosh! I still can't believe that happened! Like I made sure to focus just on the hand-to-hand combat and when you almost knocked me off my feet I guess I lost control." Traci said.

Cassie snickered. "I will never forget the look on Jaime's face!" She said while laughing. "He was like….!" She then imitates the face that he made.

"I could not apologize enough." Traci said. "Ooh come on Jaime knew you didn't do it on purpose. Everyone knew." Cassie told her.

"Yeah tell that to Jaime's scarab. He told me that he wanted to plasma cannon me." Traci said with a laugh.

"Oh the scarab is like that with everyone. You are still fairly new so he's still getting to know you. Besides, Jaime won't let the scarab try to eliminate you of all people." Cassie told her with a smirk.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Traci said, trying to act like she didn't know where this conversation was headed. The waiter then arrived back at their table with their desserts and hot chocolate.

"Oh please all of us can tell that you two like each other." Cassie said digging into her pie. "You guys are like the perfect match." She added.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Traci said, blushing slightly. Cassie smirked.

"Oh really? Because you two always seem to gravitate towards each other when we are all together. Plus you didn't even think that it was weird when it looked like he was having a conversation with himself you first met him." Cassie told her.

"That doesn't mean anything!" Traci said, still blushing.

"He also calls you bonita all of the time, and we all know that that means 'pretty'. Plus you two are going on a double date with Tye and Asami at that summer festival that El Paso has every year." Cassie said, still smirking.

"Jaime has a name for everyone," Traci started, "That just so happens to be mine." She finished, looking down, smiling. "And it isn't a double date! Jaime's inviting Bart and Virgil to come along. And Tye is inviting Ed to come, too, since it's been a while since he, Asami, Ed, and Virgil hung out together." Traci told Cassie, looking back up at her.

"Ok fine whatever you say." Cassie said, putting her hands up in surrender. "I will say that you two would make an adorable couple. He's a good guy." Cassie said and then looked down with a slight frown. Traci noticed.

"You're missing Tim aren't you?" Traci asked, immediately understanding Cassie's forlorn look.

"Yeah I do," Cassie started, "But I'm also still mad at him. Like really mad! I still can't believe he didn't tell me about you-know-what." Cassie said, not going into specifics as they were in public. "I'm his girlfriend….he….he's supposed to trust me. Maybe he just doesn't love me anymore." Cassie said, looking down.

"Hey don't say things like that Cas!" Traci said, putting her hand over Cassie's. "Tim does love you. I know he does. He just did something incredibly stupid. You two will get past this I know you will." Traci said.

Cassie smiled at her. "Thanks Trac. You're a really great friend. I don't know what I'd do without you." She told her.

"You'd confine yourself to your room and just die of complete and utter angst." Traci said smirking, taking another bite of her devil's food.

"Oh ha ha ha." Cassie said. The two girls laughed.

"Hey I have an idea!" Traci exclaimed. "Why don't you come with us to the festival in El Paso? The others would love to have you there." Traci asked Cassie.

Cassie nodded her head excitedly, "I would love that!" Cassie said.

Traci smiled and the two girls continued to converse until they finished their food. They paid the bill and left the restaurant. Once outside they contemplated on what to do next.

"So where to now?" Traci asked Cassie.

"I don't know. There's so much to do in Metropolis that I can't keep track." Cassie told her. The two teenagers continued to contemplate their next move when they noticed a group of three teenagers around their age running in their direction.

"We have to hurry! We need to get their before they run out of our sizes!" One girl said.

"I'm running as fast as I can!" Another girl said.

"Don't worry you two. The shoe department store in the mall is huge! And they always have thousands of shoes to choose from during their annual mega sale!" The last girl said.

They ran past Cassie and Traci during their discussion. Cassie and Traci watched them run down the sidewalk and turned their heads to look at each other.

"Race you there?"

"No flying."

The two girls then bolted down the sidewalk following the group of teens, their shoe haven, otherwise known as the Metropolis Mall, being just a few blocks down the road.
