So, this Is a pretty long chapter. For me at least. Hope you enjoy. (it was fun to write) Exams are next week and i still have to finish my english honors paper, so if i don't update in a while I'm sorry. I'm going to bring my notebook and write after my exams are done though because I can never fall asleep afterwards. but the last day of exams is a half day, and then we have monday and Tuesday off with no homework because are classes have ended. so i"ll have plenty of time to write. )
Disclaimer: I do not own young justice, which is sad, or the song "what makes you beautiful", which I could care less about.
Wally was waiting impatiently for the lunch bell to ring. For a speedster, time couldn't be moving any slower, and he had to get to the lunch room fast for his plan to work. Oh, Artemis was… probably going to kill him. But it would all be worth it just to see her face.
"Class, I can see some of you starting to pack up. You know my rule. You try to pack up early I keep you later. That's 60 seconds of your lunch you just wasted." His Teacher, Mrs. Hastings, said.
I can't afford another minute; Artemis is going to get there before me! He looked to make sure Mrs. Hastings wasn't looking as he got out his phone and texted Dick: "Teacher keepin us late. Stall Artemis." Hitting send he realized that he didn't make sure his phone was on silent. It made that swoosh noise that told him the message had been sent and the whole class turned to look at him. Mrs. Hastings had her arms folded, eyes narrowed and her foot tapping. Mr. West, I would like you to stay after class. Please hand over your phone. Wally did and prayed she wouldn't keep him long. Just then the bell rang, and everyone tried to make a fast exit, hoping she had forgotten about the 60 seconds of silence she had given them. But she did not and rounded everybody up once again, wasting more time, and made them sit and stay quiet until their minute was up. Hey! For teenagers, that's a long time! Finally it was over and everybody left, except Wally of course, who had to stay even longer.
"Wally, why were you texting in my class?"
"Well you see…"
"THAT. Is a rhetorical question. There is no reason you should have even had your phone out."
"Sorry Mrs. Hastings. Can I go now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Slow down for a moment and listen.'
"Yes Mam." he mumbled and looked at the clock. Please Dick, be stalling her for me. Please.
"Is there something wrong Wally? Do you need anything?" she asked curiously.
"Well, you see I really need to get to lunch before my girlfriend because,"
She gasped cutting off the last part of Wally's sentence "Because your going to ask her out to prom! Oh, how romantic and I take it you were trying to tell someone to keep her busy for a while because of your staying after class."
"Oh. Well yes actually that's exactly why." Wally was certainly surprised to find that Mrs. Hastings could guess what he was up to on the first try.
"Oh how nice. You know, my husband asked me out to out prom in the cutest way. Oh I'll never forget it. He had left flowers and a note in my locker telling me to meet him at out favorite coffee shop after school and when I got there, the whole place was decorated and the workers treated us like we were at some fancy restaurant and he was standing there and…"
"No offence Mrs. Hastings, but I really need to get to lunch."
"Oh of course! Of course. Go!"
"Thank you." he gave her the nicest smile he could muster and began to walk out the door, stopping to turn around and say. "I'd like to hear the rest of your story someday."
She smiled back. "And I would love to tell it."
And with that Wally ran towards the cafeteria as fast as he could without, well you know, looking like Kid Flash, ignoring all the teachers who told him to slow down. When he got there he found that neither Artemis nor Dick were there. He reached for his phone to tell Dick it was okay to come down now, but he realized Mrs. Hastings still had it. He looked around and found M'gann and ran over to her.
"M'gann," he whispered. "Put up a psychic link with Robin"
"Robin goes to school here?"
"Yes, just please do it. My teacher took my phone and I need to talk to him."
"Sure Wally." the next thing Wally heard was M'gann's voice in his head.
Robin I have a psychic link up between you me and Wally. He said he needs to talk to you.
Wally your girlfriend is getting very angry with me. If I keep her any longer she'll know something is up.
Sorry man, I had to stay even later because I was caught texting you. But you can bring her down now.
Thank God. See you in a minute man.
M'gann cut off the link..
"Wally, what are you going to do to Artemis?"
"Gosh, it's nothing bad. Just asking her out to prom, and getting back at her for putting those baby pictures of me on the school website." he raised an eyebrow. "Didn't Supey here do anything special for you?"
"Well no, but…"
"Aww to bad. Guess I'm a better person. Well gotta go she'll be here any minute. Enjoy the show." and he ran off to the front doors of the café. He stood there pretty much vibrating with excitement, as he waited for his girlfriend to appear through those same doors. He waited for what seemed like an eternity, but in all actuality is was probably about 45 seconds, until she finally burst through them and looked over and saw him standing there with a big goofy grin on his face.
"Really? Did you make Dick keep me in the hallway for so long? Is this some kind of a joke? Because lunch is already short enough Baywatch, and I'd like to eat during the 25 minutes they give us."
"Oh, Artemis. This isn't the half of it." he walked all the way down the cafeteria and stood on top of one of the round tables and yelled, "Hey everyone. Yeah, would you please be quiet for a moment? Excuse me! I have something to say."
"Oh. My. God." was all Artemis could get out before Wally continued.
"Okay, well you see, Artemis here, we've been dating for about 2 and half years now. And I would like to ask her something today." All of a sudden, Music started playing from the speakers. Artemis looked over to see Dick, smiling at her while sliding one of his Nightwing gloves back into his book bag. That little hacker she thought. And then, it started
"You're insecure, don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the door. Don't need make-up, to cover up. Being the way that you are is enough." she face palmed herself. Of course he would choose that song. He knows how much you hate it. "Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you, " he jumped off the table and started walking down closer to her. "Baby you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell. You don't know, Oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful." he reached one arm out to her and she glared at him. Wally took a step back but continued with the song anyway. "If only you saw what I can see. You'll understand why I want you so desperately. Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe. You don't know, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful!" "He walked all the way up to her and grabbed her hands. "Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, You don't know, Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful. Oh, if only you saw what I can see, you'll understand why I want you so desperately. Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, You don't know, Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful, Oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful" He got down on his knees and begged, "So would you go to prom with me!" He finished his song and stood up still holding both of her hands, and had a huge smile on his face. Artemis was trying to hide her face from everyone, because of the deep red color it had turned.
"I don't know if I should slap you or kiss you." she said and Wally leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips earning an "awww" from all the girls around them.
"Your already planning your revenge aren't you?"
She smiled. "you know me too well."
Dick stood next to Barbara as everyone started to go back to eating their lunches.
"So, Babs." he elbowed her, "You wanna know what I just thought of?" Barbara looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "If all of our friends already have dates, then only person you'll be left to dance with," he paused and smiled, "is me." then he walked off to who-knows-where leaving Barbara trying to figure out if he was making fun of her, or if this was his way of asking her out.
So this was definitely more a Spitfire chapter. I don't know why, but it just was too cute to just skim over like I was originally planning. Soooo yeah. For all you spitfire shippers I hope you liked it. I promise next chapter will have more Dick/Babs in it, but I hoped you liked that little thing at the end. So until then stay whelmed! (Did anybody else freak out when Nightwing said whelmed in the "new" young justice episode? Because I did! I wish it was a true new episode though, because pretty much everybody has seen it already thanks to itunes. I cant wait for this saturday's episode.!)
