"Cotillion is a very important event in Gotham, master Damian. You are expected to attend, since you are the only Wayne heir that has not been properly introduced"
"I am the only Wayne heir, Pennyworth"
Alfred rolls his eyes and does not answer. He eyes critically the red converse Damian is wearing. That is definetely going to give the reporters something to talk.
"Are you sure you don´t want to change shoes?" Alfred suggets one more time and before Damian can answer, Dick enters in a blur of movement.
"Oh there you are. We have to get moving, Irey and Wally, are already at the Museum"
"Tell me Grayson, again...why do I have to go with West? And who the hell organizes a ball in a museum"
Dick is wearing a tuxedo, and thanks God he is wearing shoes. Alfred just hopes he does not take them off in the middle of the dance, to show some move.
"Oh little D. We have already talk about it. You need a plus one. I went with Barbara..."
"Of course you did..."
"And Timmy went with Steph...and Jason...well Jason went with Roy and those two got really drunk and start making out, and was a little bit of a disaster..."
Damian looks not amused.
"Oh come on Damian. It will be fun. And besides it is the first Cotillion I ever organize. It is going to be amazing!"
"I don´t understand why the hell you are organizing a ball of all people"
"Because balls are cool. You get to dance! And Eat! And drink!"
In that moment is where Tim makes his entrance, having heard half of the conversation.
"And also demon brat, because the other organizer is Bethanie`s single red head daughter...which by the way Dick is going to the Cotillion as his date and escort"
Dick blushes and smiles, being obviously caught. Tim smirks. Damian is not amused.
"Soooo, are we ready to go?" Tim is also wearing a tuxedo and nods.
"Ok little D, so remember the steps are not difficult and..."
"Shut up Grayson
Dick spends all the ride talking about the correct dancing steps until he gets punched. Tim laughs and gets punched too.
When they arrive, Wally West and Irey are waiting, Irey looking beautiful and Damian looking dumb staring at her, and Wally West trying to kill Robin with his glare.
As the night goes on, everything is perfect. Damian execute a flawless dance with Irey, making Dick cry of pride because his little boy is growing up, Tim takes tons of photos, and forwards the ones of Damian with the "in love" expression he has wear all night looking at the youngest West to Cass and Steph, the last one posting them in her facebook profile (with tags and everything). Eventually Jason, who loves to crash to parties, is making out with Betty (Bethanie´s single red head daughter)
Bruce prays to all the higher powers that this time, his family does not end in the social section of the newspaper tomorrow and leaves for patrolling, after saying goodbye to his kids.
(Alfred, first thing on the morning, informs him that Wayne`s family little show that included a shoeless drunk shirtless singing Dick, naked master Jason, an scandalized master Tim and a trapped Iris West in a wall, product of vibrating widly after kissing young master Damian, is not only on the social section, but is front page. Also Damian`s red converse with the suite where a big success and became a twitter trending topics #RedConverseLikeaWayne. Bruce thinks he is too old for this crap)
