Sorry about this being a shorter chapter.
(February 14th)
Today was not just any other Monday, because today was Valentine's Day. Today was the day when guys need to step it up for their girls, nothing is too much when it comes to this day.
(Artemis's POV)
Today is going to be a big day, I've never had a boyfriend before and I definitely haven't had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day. I wonder if he will go all out and buy me chocolate, candy, and a big bear. All I could think about the whole school day was what Wally had gotten me. I decided that I would get him some science things; like a microscope, test tubes, and other things like that. I had ordered all of his stuff online, and as soon as I got it I wrapped in some Valentine's Day wrapping paper. I was determined to make this the best Valentine's Day ever. I really like cheesy holidays like this, but I can't let Wally know that I'm not as much of a tomboy as I seem. He'll call me girly, or make fun of me and that just won't do.
(Zatanna's POV)
I'm so excited, Robin and I have been dating for about one month now, so Valentine's Day is perfect timing. I knew exactly what I was going to get him. I knew that he grew up Haly's Circus, so I decided to get two tickets to the Haly's Circus. I know how much the Circus means to him and I want him to see one last show, and hopefully help him get closure.
(Wally's POV)
Ugh, it's Monday, I hate Monday's their so dumb. Why do we have to go to school on Mondays anyway? It's like the least productive day of the week. Well, atleast once I am done with school, I can go to The Cave to hang out and stop thinking about school for a while. This is going to be a really sucky day.
(Robin's POV)
I hope my present is going to be good enough for Zatanna, I've never had a girlfriend so I have no idea what would have been a good gift. All that I could think of, was some flowers, chocolates, and a teddy bear. I've seen that given to girls by their boyfriends in movies hundreds of times, so it must be a good gift. The only thing is, I feel bad for not thinking of something original.
As soon as school was out, Wally was running out of the doors for The Cave. By the time he got to the cave it was 4:00 and everyone else was already there. He didn't know why, but everyone was splitting off into pairs, and the pairs were the couples. Wally walked over to Artemis, "Hey babe, how's it going today?" She looked at him and said, "It's going pretty good, I'm very excited about today." "Oh yeah," he asked, "Why would you be so excited about a Monday?" She looked at him in disbelief and he could tell that he was missing something and had done something wrong. Artemis yelled, "Happy Valentine's Day Wally," she then proceeded to set the gifts she had for him on the ground carefully, so that they wouldn't break, and run out of the room crying. Wally knew he was in for it now, how could he have forgotten about the most romantic day of the year whenever he had a girlfriend. Honestly, he was surprised she cared, because of her usual 'I don't care attitude,' but he had to admit she was a girl and they did care about these kinds of things. He thought about what he was going to say to her for a while and then he ran to her room. Once there, he started knocking on the door, "Artemis, it's me Wally open up." He could hear her sobbing, "Why would I let you in? You didn't even remember what today was." He replied, "Artemis, let me in and I will explain. Please just let me in." He could hear movement and then she unlocked the door and opened it. She walked back to her bed letting him close the door behind him and walk over to sit on the bed with her. "Look Artemis, this is going to sound dumb, but Valentine's Day isn't anything special." She looked at him with rage, "What do you mean it isn't anything special? I spent almost one hundred dollars on you!" "Look Artemis," he started, "Valentine's Day isn't special, because dating you makes every day feel like Valentine's Day. I'm sorry I forgot, but it doesn't really matter because we're are so good together that Valentine's Day is just another day of the year. We have been dating for around a month know, and it has been the best month of my life. I don't want there to be only one romantic day, I want every day to be just as romantic as the previous day. I want us to have the time of our lives, and I think that getting material objects for each other means nothing in comparison to how we feel about each other." She listened to him while he talked with her mouth hanging open in shock, "You-you really believe that?" "Yes, I do," he replied. "Well," she said, "Then I forgive you."
Robin and Zatanna decided that it was time to exchange gifts, and Robin went first. He gave her her presents. "Do-do you like them?" he asked fearfully. She smiled and replied, "Of course, I love all three of these gifts. Now, for my gift." She pulled a gift out from behind her back and Robin unwrapped it carefully. Once he had finished unwrapping it, he saw what it was an was speechless. After a minute or so he said, "Oh my god Zee, you are amazing!" He pulled her into a hug and she started to blush. They left for the show immediately, before the beginning of the show the leader of the circus mentioned that this show would be in memory of The Flying Graysons. This was exactly what Robin needed to finally get over the death of his parents, it was the best present ever.
Superboy and Miss M had a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant. Needless to say, it wasn't for them, and they ended up leaving early. They ended up going back to The Cave to watch TV and hang out for the rest of the night. Aqualad and Rocket didn't really do anything, because of the fact that Aquaman had asked for Aqualad's help with something in Atlantis, so Rocket hung out with Icon for the day. All in all, for most of them it was the best Valentine's Day they had ever had.
