About a half hour later
"Hey man." greeted Bart as he walked over to A.C. where he was once again by the fish tank.
"Hey … whoa where's your little ear-piece?" asked A.C. as he realized that Bart's ear-piece wasn't in his ear. No one was at the table and he hoped that no one left their ear-piece sitting at the table. Victor wanted to move his legs around a bit and Clark went with him. Oliver had a lot of water to drink and had to go to the bathroom. Oliver had given strict orders that everyone had to keep their ear-pieces with them at all times.
"I'm not stupid. I brought it with me." said Bart as he rolled his eyes and opened up his hand to reveal the mini ear-piece on his palm.
"Hey man?" asked Bart.
"Yeah?" asked A.C. as Bart stood next to him.
"You see that waitress over there?" said Bart as he pointed to the waitress he had been flirting with before.
"Yeah … What about her? Need some advice?" asked A.C. smirking slightly, knowing his flirting probably hadn't gone over well.
Bart flexed his jaw slightly and said, "Well I was just wondering if you'd ever choose her but probably not."
"Why not?"
"Because … isn't Ariel waiting for you? 'Unda the sea'?" taunted Bart as he mimicked the deep voice of Sebastian.
A.C. flexed his jaw. He was getting really tired of Bart's fish jokes, at least Victor, Oliver, Clark, and even Bruce's were creative.
"You know what? I'm starting to get really annoyed by your fish-jokes. It's starting to get a little old." said A.C. as he gave a slight shove to Bart when he rolled his eyes.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Bart shoved him back. This caused A.C. to turn to face him completely, now both boys were standing in front of each other.
"You know what Bro? Why don't you just –" A.C. wasn't able to finish his sentence as Bart pushed him once again, this time a little harder. Not seeing that coming, A.C. had to regain his balance a little before he narrowed his eyes and shoved Bart back into the fish tank, slightly harder. Not knowing that A.C. would do that, he lost his balance as his back hit the fish tank, but this time Bart's hand went flying which caused the little ear-piece to go flying in the air.
Quickly A.C.'s arm shot out and caught the ear-piece before it fell in the water in the tank. Unfortunately, a waiter with a stack of plates on his tray, walked by quickly, and shoved into A.C. rather hardly, who was still holding onto the ear-piece. That was until the force caused him stumble and drop the ear-piece into the tank.
"Uh-oh!"
"Oh, crap!"
With Oliver
Oliver was washing his hands in the bathroom when he started to hear an electric cackle in his ear-piece.
"What the hell?" asked Oliver as he pulled out the ear-piece because the electric cackle and static was getting loud."What did they do?!" exclaimed Oliver as he rushed out of the bathroom to see A.C. and Bart across the room by the fish tank.
With Victor and Clark
Both boys flinched as the loud static could be heard through their ear-pieces.
"What the hell was that?" came Victor's response, as he pulled the piece of technology out of his ear.
"I don't know." said Clark as he did the same.
"Let's go back to the table." said Victor as they both turned around. Not seeing any of the three boys at the table, they looked around the room, avoided Chloe and Bruce's table, and found Bart and A.C. at the fish tank.
"Look there's Oliver." pointed out Clark as he saw the irritated leader making his way to the other two boys.
"Hey lets go see what's going on." said Victor.
Then the two remaining boys made their way to the fish tank.
With Chloe and Bruce
"What's that?" asked Chloe at the loud obnoxious noise that seemed to be coming from Bruce's jacket.
"I-I don't know." said Bruce honestly as he looked in his jacket with confusion.
He patted his jacket a little, to feel if there was anything in his pockets. Finally finding the object that was causing so much noise he pulled it out, and held it out for Chloe to see as well. Chloe leaned in further seeing Bruce hold up the tiny object.
"What is it?" Chloe questioned.
"I think it's a mini microphone." Bruce said, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Yeah I think that's what it is." Chloe confirmed, and she inspected the tiny object in her hand. "But why do you have that on you?" Chloe questioned slightly suspicious.
"Hey I have no idea as to why this is on me." Said Bruce as he held his hands up in surrender.
But then why do I—Thought Bruce as he suddenly realized what happened.
"They didn't!" exclaimed Bruce.
"What?" asked Chloe interested at Bruce's sudden outburst.
"They guys." Bruce stated simply, as he began looking around the room. He knew they were in here somewhere.
"They guys?" Chloe questioned. She knew that by 'the guys' he meant the rest of the members of the Justice League. But, the guys? What do they have to do with the microphone? And why is Bruce looking around the room? Oh! They didn't! Chloe thought as she too began looking around the room for them. It didn't take Chloe long to realize what was going on and put two and two together.
Back with the crowd around the fish tank
"What the hell is going on?" Oliver questioned, as he reached the fish tank.
"What is this?" Clark added, when he too reached the fish tank along with Victor.
Both A.C. and Bart's heads snapped up.
"Um. Well y-you see, this is an ear-piece." Bart stuttered, as he pointed to the little piece of technology in Clark and Oliver's hands.
"Bart … really, what did you guys do?" asked Victor as he looked at A.C. and Bart.
Both boys looked at each other then back to the other three boys who were giving them pointed looks.
"Well you see…"
"Uh, see the thing was…"
"It was his fault!" Exclaimed Bart as he pointed at A.C.
"It was him!" Exclaimed A.C. as he felt the need to defend himself.
"You're the one that dropped it!"
"You're the one that threw it first … at least I tried to catch it which I did."
"I didn't throw it! It flew out of my hand when you shoved me!"
"Because you shoved me!"
"Well you started the shoving!"
"Yeah … because you started the fish jokes!"
"Guys, guys, guys!" said Victor, as he slightly waved his arms around a little, so he wouldn't attract any attention.
"What?" Both boys asked as they looked at Victor, slightly mad that someone interrupted their fight.
"What. Happened. Here?" Oliver said, a little more slowly.
Bart and A.C. once again looked at each other then turned to the fish tank where at the bottom was the ear-piece.
All the boys' attention turned to the fish tank, and Clark, Oliver, and Victor all took a few steps forward so that the five boys were all standing in front of the fish tank.
They all heaved a sigh and looked at each other.
With Chloe and Bruce
"Maybe we should just get up and look around." Said Chloe as she and Bruce both stood up.
"Oh, we'll be right back." Bruce told the waitress as she cleared the table. At her nod, Bruce and Chloe walked quickly away from their table and began to look for the boys.
"Do you see them?" Bruce asked.
"No, not yet." Said Chloe. "Wait I think I do. There … There they are!" said Chloe pointing to the fish tank where five rather tall guys all in formal clothing stood in a sort of circle. How can you miss them?
Both Chloe and Bruce hurriedly walked over where the rest of the members of the Justice League were.
With the boys by the fish tank
"Great!" said Oliver.
"What are we gonna do now?" asked Clark.
It was obvious that they were upset, Clark more than Oliver, but they weren't going to take it out on anybody. They knew it wasn't Bart or A.C.'s fault. Hell, they shouldn't even be there in the first place.
"So will any of these work?" asked Clark as he motioned to the rest of the ear-pieces.
"No." Stated Oliver simply.
"No?" Repeated Clark.
"No. They six of them are connected. Since one of them doesn't work because it fell in the water, then other five aren't gonna work either. They five other pieces are all giving off the same electrical static feedback."
Suddenly, Clark's face paled.
"Five other pieces?" asked Clark as he realized something.
"Yeah why?" Asked Oliver.
"So that mean's Bruce's piece too. They probably heard the static. I mean you can't miss it!" Clark began to panic.
"I think this is yours." Said a voice behind them.
All five boys turned around slowly to see both Chloe and Bruce standing there. Both with the same stern and serious look on their faces.
Guess I won't be able joke my way around this one. Thought Bart.
How was it?
