Melissa's room was beginning to overflow with all of her art related things. Whether it was a work in progress or a school project for art class it was guaranteed to be somewhere in her room. Jenny began fretting over how to tell Melissa that they would have to get rid of some of it. Jenny being Jenny she decided on putting it off as long as possible. After all, why ruin a great day for her daughter? Soon, even Dick started to notice the clutter but unlike Jenny, an idea began to form in his mind. One that would ensure that Melissa always had room for art. He brought his plans to Jenny and she wholeheartedly approved of them. With his plan approved he had to find a way to keep Melissa from finding so, he went to the gang. They agreed to help him out and so, he left happily.

Melissa was very perplexed the following Monday when Shaggy and Scooby picked her up before driving her all the way to Gotham to visit Harley and Ivy. Usually, Dick took her but he had seemed to go MIA in the past few days which confused Melissa to no end. She hadn't even gotten a text. Where had he gone to? Did he go on some undercover mission she was unaware of? Was he hurt? Melissa wanted no, she needed to know the truth! She didn't voice her concern she just remained focused on the sketchbook in front of her. She was so focused in fact that she failed to notice the knowing smirk Shaggy wore. He knew very, very well what Dick was up to but he had been sworn to secrecy. Still, he couldn't help but feel kind of sad for Melissa who was completely clueless. However, it would all make sense in a few short hours, for now, Melissa would visit her sisters.


Melissa was instantly reionized and let through to the visiting rooms. Ivy and Harley were brought in shortly after. With the guard's approval, they rushed to embrace Melissa.

"Lissa we've missed you!" Harley squealed excitedly.

"I missed you too!"

"Tell us everything!"

"Gladly"

Melissa told them all about having to take down Crane and Vortex. She told them all about school and how she was still having minor troble with her anger. The time seemed to fly by and all-too-soon Melissa had to go Giving Harley and Ivy one last hug she left with Shaggy. Oh, she hadn't felt this good in days. Her face burned red from laughing with Harley and blushing when Ivy had congratulated her on her science class achievements. She had given them each a sketch to hang in their cells and then something special for the both of them. For Ivy a picture of a flower garden and for Harley a teddy bear dressed like a court jester. When they returned to Melissa's home Jenny was waiting for them on the porch.

"Melissa we have a surprise waiting for you," she informed them.

"We?"

"Yes, now come on," Jenny said with a smile before pulling Melissa through the house and out to the backyard.

Once she saw what awaited her Melissa froze.

"Surprised Firecracker?" Dick asked.

"Where were you? and where did this come from?" Melissa asked pointing at the very large storage unit.

"I was having this modified for you because this is now your art studio,"

"Shut up,"

"I'm serious, it has electricity, heat, air and running water. Want to see the inside?"

"Yes!"

"Coome on in then,"

"Gladly,"

...
