"Don't talk about Kori like that." Dick snarled. "Like a prize… She's no one's prize and she's definitely not a toy to play with. She's a person and will not be treated like that. And not only that… She is my girlfriend. You even give her a pervy look and I will kick your sorry ass." Though Dick was truly terrifying, Kori's eyes gleamed at Dick's statement. It made her heart melt. From behind him, she wrapped her arms around his arm and her head leaning on his shoulder.
"Hey Xavier!" A giggly girl seductively flirted. She was sitting a couple yards away, giving Xavier a nice wink in her red leather short, short dress that showed off way too much cleavage.
"Looks like a real toy is looking for you." Dick forcefully said.
"Well… When duty calls..." Xavier cockily replied. He then gave Kori a wink and one of his million dollar smile before walking away. Dick then turned to his innocent and gorgeous girlfriend. She then threw her arms around his muscular neck, if necks can be muscular.
"I thank you very much, Richard! You were most brave…" Kori thanked, giving his a soft kiss on his cheek. Dick gave her a quick kiss on her smooth forehead.
"It's no big deal… I gatta protect my girl." Dick smirked. Kori blushed and looked down. Dick then gave her a confused look. "What's wrong?"
"I am your girl." Kori mumbled, looking down at her toes with a weak smile on her face. Dick chuckled and wrapped her arms around her at upper arm height.
"Yes. You are. And you'll never be anyone else's." Dick proudly proclaimed. Kori giggled, slipping her arm around him as well.
"I do not wish for this to be any different." Kori sighed dreamily.
"Me either." Dick chuckled, squeezing her a little tighter.
Then heard the song famous song, "Shameless" by All Time Low, and smirked. "Want to dance? It is our song." Dick smirked and gestured his hand. Kori smiled and had Dick lead her to the dance floor.
It was a night to remember and the lovely couple will never forget it.

It was that time of the year again. It was Halloween. The group was lounging in the common room of the dorms, bored out of their minds.
"I'm bored!"Gar whined.
"So go read." Raven spat.
"Ew! That's nasty!" Gar complained.
"I agree. It's Halloween! We should be doing something fun!" Bee exclaimed.
"Trick-or-treat?!" Gar jumped.
"What are you? Seven?" Dick shot.
"It's easier to just buy candy. Then you don't have all the nasty ones you don't want." Bee agreed.
"But that's what trading's for!"Gar jumped.
"No." Dick snapped. Gar's was crestfallen as he sunk in his seat.
"Please, what is this treating of trick? Do we praise those who partake in the practical jokes?" Kori asked. Dick shook his head.
"No. It's an activity to celebrate today, Halloween. It's where kids dress up as anyone they want in costumes, then go door-to-door to their neighbors and ask for candy. The phrase 'trick-or-treat' is the idea is that the kids will play a trick on someone if they do not give them a treat, which is the candy." Dick explained.
"Oh! That sounds most enjoyable. Please, may we partake in that?" Kori beamed, batting her eyelashes at her boyfriend. Dick held his breath. Though he hated the idea of doing something so childish and "stupid", he couldn't deny his girlfriend. she had this unbreakable control over him that made him weak without even trying. Or, maybe she is trying and using it against him. Either way, he gets weak and that is not good in Dick's book.
"Of course we can." Dick mustered out, horrified at himself.
"Oh yeah… Whenever I ask, it's always 'No! What are you? Seven?' But when Koriasks it's 'of course we can! Whatever you say! I worship at your feet!'" Gar grumbled. Dick shot him a death glare.
"Kori has never done it before. She wants to experience an American tradition. You just want it for some stupid candy that will rot your teeth." Dick snapped.
"Yeah right!" Gar grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest.
"We didn't go trick or treating when Freya came." Vic added.
"Yeah!" Gar exclaimed.
"Freya never asked." Dick shot.
"Freya can speak for herself!" Freya shot. "I didn't ask cause I didn't want to go."
"Exactly! But Kori does." Dick exclaimed.
"QUIET!" Raven's yell overpowered everyone else, silencing them.
"Yeah! Just shut up! Let's just go trick or treating for like two hours, then we can visit the haunted house at the city and then after, we can go see the movie playing in the school theater." Bee concluded.
"WICKED SCARY?! YES!" Gar jumped.
"That sounds most enjoyable!" Kori smiled.
"Yeah. Meet back in an hour?" Dick stated.
"I'll pass, guys." Freya piped.
"What? Why?" Gar whined.
"You guys know I'm not into trick-or-treating or anything scary." Freya simply stated.
"If Freya can leave, then I will too. No way I'm trick-or-treating." Raven snapped.
"We can do something else? Go to the Pizza Parlor?" Dick piped in, hoping this was his way out of trick-or-treating.
"Nah. Don't change your plans. Raven, go. Someone's gatta take care of them and candy." Freya nodded towards Vic and Gar.
"Perhaps we can visit the mall of shopping?" Kori suggested.
"It's cools. Roy asked me if I was free and I said I'd think about it." Freya informed.
"Oh. I see now…" Bee teased with a devilish smirk. Freya shot her a look.
"Him and his friends were just going to the Underground." Freya casually stated. The Underground was a gaming area under the cafeteria. There were pool tables, a bowling alley, arcade games, ping pong tables, karaoke booths, and much more for recreation at school.
"FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY!" Gar shot.
"Don't go there. It's no bigs, probably not even with Terra, Kitten and them. Can't imagine any of them bowling or anything. It's probably some of the guys from the soccer team." Freya stated.
"Are you sure?" Raven asked. "Those girls can be clingy to sport guys…"
"Yeah. Come on. You guys know I can't stand them. Chillax!" Freya chuckled. She then waved and left.
"What do you think?" Raven looked at Dick. Dick paused.
"She can take care of herself." Dick concluded.
"Besides, she knows all the shit Terra, Babs, and Kitten has caused." Bee added.
"Freya will not abandon us. You are her most truest friends." Kori urged.
"Exactly. Don't be such a worry wart, Rae." Gar teased, elbowing her.
"Don't call me Rae." Raven snarled, causing Gar to back off.
"We can have a sleepover after. And invite her to that?" Bee suggested.
"Yes! We may have the most enjoyable time together!" Kori gleamed.
"Yeah! We can have a manly night!" Gar exclaimed. The girls gave him a strange look.
"What?" Raven asked.
"Guys don't have slumber parties. We have 'manly nights'." Vic explained. The girls snickered, then…
"BAHAHAHA!" They all burst out in laughter.
"What?!" Bee choked through her laughter.
"Sleepovers sound girly. Manly nights are what men do." Gar exclaimed as he flexed his muscles, causing the girls to roll on the floor in fits of laughter. The guys glared at the girls.
"Can't we just have a slumber party together?" Raven snapped.
"Is that… safe?" Gar asked uncertainly, glancing over at the two couples in the room. The four teens glared at them.
"Well, I mean, they can't do anything. We're here." Raven snapped.
"We are not going to try something!" Dick yelled.
"Well…" Gar stated.
"Come on. Be reasonable. If we were to do something, don't you think we would do it by ourselves?" Vic pointed out. The rest of the group agreed.
"Oh! Let's go to my house!" Bee jumped.
"Your house is near the school?" Kori asked.
"It's in Steel City. I was suppose to go there, but my parents transferred me here because it's a better school overall. My house is on the border of Jump City and Steel City, so it's not far. About 15 minutes from here." Bee stated.
"So… Why do you have a dorm? You can commute." Raven asked.
"Parents don't want me to use gas to go to school when I can just live here." Bee shrugged.
"So, it is decided? We shall have the party of slumber?" Kori asked hopefully.
"Yeah!" Vic answered for the group. Everyone was extremely excited for their day together.
"Okay. Let's meet back in an hour and a half at Bee's house. Then, we can go trick-or-treating around her neighborhood. After, we'll go to the Haunted House… Let's forget going back to school for the movie. No point in going back and forth. We can watch something at Bee's house, anyways." Dick suggested.
"Awesome. I'll take my car with Bee, Gar, and Raven. We'll go to Bee's house and straighten up the place." Vic suggested.
"What about our costumes?" Gar whined.
"Okay. Let's meet up in 15 minutes for costumes." Vic concluded.
"Kori and I will go to Target and get all the stuff we'll need. What do we need?" Dick stated.
"Chips."
"Popcorn."
"Soda."
"The nuts of dough! They are like tiny wheels!" Kori squealed.
"Alright." Dick stated as he typed all the words onto his phone.
"Alright! See you guys at my house!" Bee beamed as she walked off to her room. Everyone dispersed except Kori and Dick.
"Did you want to go change into your costume?" Dick asked.
"I was unfamiliar with the custom, so I do not possess one." Kori let out a soft sigh.
"Well, we are going to Target? I'm sure they still have some." Dick suggested
"… I am able to be whoever I wish, yes?" Kori asked.
"Uhhuh." Dick stated.
"I believe I know who I shall be." Kori beamed.
"Awesome, who?" Dick curiously asked.
"It shall be a surprise." Kori smiled, giddy at her idea. Dick just rose a brow and her, but chuckled at her excitement. They walked over to Dick's corvette and rode off to Target. They got there in five minutes, flat.
"Who will you be?" Kori asked, as she was getting out of Dick's car.
"Not sure. Maybe something here will be good." Dick shrugged. He wasn't too into dressing up, but since Kori wanted him to, he would. They walked through the aisles with a red cart, pulling stuff off the shelves.
"Got chips…" Dick said as he threw three bags of lays into the cart.
"Beverages!" Kori gleefully exclaimed, bringing over 4 boxes of canned soda.
"Isn't that a little heavy for you, Star?" Dick asked.
"No… Is it meant to?" Kori asked, tilting her head in confusion. Dick was a little surprised, but shook it off.
'Stronger than she looks…' Dick thought. This was suddenly extremely attractive to him.
"I'll get your donuts. Powdered sugar?" Dick asked. Kori nodded happily and Dick headed out of the aisle.
"Chips that are the q q of the barbie!" Kori exclaimed as she pulled a huge bag into the cart. She grabbed more bags of chips until she was satisfied with the amount. She continued to look, but couldn't find anything intriguing.
"Alright. Ready?" Dick asked. Kori nodded as they started heading to the checkout. The pair started to place stuff onto the conveyer belt, but Dick stopped.
"Hello! How are you guys?" The cashier greeted casually. The cashier then typed on cash register. She had long black hair, landing to her midback. She also had golden brown skin that complimented her dark brown eyes. She was a petite girl, being 5'0" and had a huge smile on her face. Her name read "Alyssa" on her name tag. She wore a bright red shirt and khaki pants for her uniform.
"Glorious, how are you?" Kori beamed. Alyssa smiled in response, amused by Kori's bubbly personality.
"I'm good. Guys having a party?" Alyssa asked.
"Yeah. Small Halloween get together." Dick simply replied. Alyssa scanned items, but kept glancing at Dick. He looked at her oddly and she blushed lightly.
"Sorry, I was looking at you. You just look really familiar." Alyssa admitted.
"Oh. No worries. Do you go to Jump City High School?" Dick asked.
"Oh! You're a Homecoming prince, right?" Alyssa exclaimed. "I go to Steel City. I was at the Homecoming game."
"Oh! Okay. Yeah, I am." Dick smiled.
"And you were the princess, right?" Alyssa looked at Kori.
"Yes, I was." Kori had a small blush on her face.
"That's so cute that you guys both won." Alyssa smiled.
"Thanks. It was really cool, actually. First time winning." Dick replied.
"And then that girl embarrassed you at the game!" Alyssa burst out in a laugh. Dick blushed deeply.
"Yeah. Her sister is pretty crazy." Dick rubbed the back of his neck.
"What shall you be doing on the ween of Hallow?" Kori changed the subject quickly.
"Well, I'm off in an hour, so maybe I'll go hang out with my friend or something." Alyssa responded.
"I hope it shall be enjoyable!" Kori smiled happily.
"So, Star, did you need stuff for your costume?" Dick asked. Kori shook her head quickly.
"No! I believe I possess everything I need in my room. Do you?" Kori smiled.
"I'll figure something out with what I got." Dick shrugged. Kori then nodded in response.
"Okay. Your total comes out to $36.78." Ashley stated. Dick pulled out the bills and handed it to the cashier.
"Here you go! Have a good day!" Alyssa smiled. Dick and Kori took their groceries and went to the exit.
"Thank you, new friend Alyssa! I hope we shall see each other the soon!" Kori smiled happily. Alyssa smiled in response and waved.
The pair got into the corvette and Dick pulled out of the lot.
"So, you want to go to the dorm first, yeah?" Dick asked as he turned at the light. Kori nodded quickly.
"Uhhuh!" Kori smiled. Dick glanced at her as saw her beaming face. He let out a soft chuckle and glanced back at the road. He pulled up to the school.
"Okay. So, you go to your room and I'm going to get myself. We can meet back here in 15 minutes?" Dick suggested. Kori nodded quickly. She then planted a soft kiss on his cheek and hopped out.
"I shall see you shortly!" Kori smiled as she ran to the dorms. Dick gave her a small wave.
"So….. What am I going to dress up like?" Dick asked himself. He headed back to his room. As he popped open the door, he looked around at his stuff.
"I could be generic and go dressed in my football uniform…" Dick thought as he went to the drawers. Then, an idea popped into his mind. He slipped into something else and bolted out of the dorm.
He leaned against his car as he waited for his girlfriend. He looked around and waited. Then a tap was on his shoulder. He was faced with someone wearing a red t shirt, black baggy jeans, and red converse. They were also wearing a Varsity sports jacket, a pair of sunglasses, and a baseball cap. Thought their hair was concealed, Dick knew it was his girlfriend, Kori. She beamed happily with a bag thrown over her shoulder.
"Hello Richard!" Kori smiled happily.
"Hey Star…" Richard said.
"Please, are you Danny?" Kori exclaimed. Dick looked at his outfit. He was wearing blue jeans, black converse, and white t shirt. His hair was sleeked back with a black leather jacket. He smirked.
"Yeah! Good guess!" Dick smiled.
"I enjoy the movie 'Grease'! It is one I enjoy most!" Kori giggled.
"Well, I'm glad I was able to remind you of it." Dick smiled.
"Shall we leave to the treat of tricking?" Kori asked.
"Yeah. Sure…" Dick unlocked the car and the two got in. "Hey Kor… Are you… me?"
"Yes! I was hoping you were able to notice!" Kori beamed happily, clapping her hands and giggling.
"Yeah. Kind of easy to notice with you wearing my jacket." Dick teased.
"Do you like it?" Kori nervously asked. Dick gave her a soft kiss on her lips.
"You look beautiful, even if you're dressed like me." Dick smiled. He was touched that she wanted to just dress up like him
"I am joyous that you like it!" Kori smiled.
"Ready to go?" Dick asked. Kori nodded happily and Dick pulled out of the school lot. Dick turned up the radio and it played "Finally Found You" by Enrique Iglesias.
They pulled up to a honey yellow house with white shingles and curtains. It was suburban looking and a little small, but quaint. They noticed Vic's silver and blue Dodge Charger (AN: T-Car reminds me of this car. ) in the driveway.
"Looks like they're already here." Dick said as he pulled up next to Vic's baby. The pair got out and rang Bee's doorbell. They were faced with Bee. She wore a black and yellow striped dress with white wings on her back. She also wore black tights and black heels. She beamed as she saw them.
"Hey you two! Come on in! Everyone else is inside!" Bee smiled. She stepped aside so Kori and Dick could enter her house. There they saw Vic, Gar, and Raven. Vic had on a purple and gold jersey and basketball shorts with the number "24" sewn on the back. Gar wore purple trousers and painted his body green. Raven dyed her hair a blueish purple color. She wore a long sleeve orange sweater and jeans.
"Hey guys!" Vic smiled.
"What's up, Kobe?" Dick smirked.
"Not much, man." Vic spun a basketball in his hand.
"What are you, Gar? A muscleless Hulk?" Dick teased.
"Hey! I do too have muscles!" Gar pouted, flexing his scrawny arm.
"Suure." Raven sarcastically remarked.
"Who are you, Raven?" Kori asked.
"Coraline." She muttered simply.
"Yeah! It's a good look for you!" Gar smirked. Raven glared at him.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Raven shot.
"I mean… Your hair is good like that…" Gar uneasily said. Raven had a slight blush.
"Thanks…" Raven replied. There was an awkward moment in between, and the finally broke it.
"So… Is Dick a biker dude?" Gar asked. Dick gave him a look. Then, he jumped on top of the wooden coffee table and stripped off his leather jacket.
"We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads, oh yeah!" Dick sang loudly.
"Keep talking, whoa, keep talking!" Vic added. Dick and Vic then laughed, and then did a small handshake, using that to pull Dick off the table.
"Nice! 'Grease' is a good movie!" Bee complimented.
"Couldn't think of anything last minute?" Raven pessimistically muttered.
"Was the best I could come up with what I had." Dick shrugged.
"I like it!" Kori giggled, hugging his arm.
"And, who are you, Kori?" Gar asked her.
"She's me." Dick gloated, not every day someone dresses us like you for Halloween.
"Aw! That's cute!" Bee smiled.
"I thank you!" Kori smiled.
"So, ready to go trick or treating?" Vic asked.
"YEAH!" Gar exclaimed, as he grabbed his green plastic trick-or-treating bucket off the floor. He sprinted out the door and was already going to the next house. The rest of them laughed at his childish attitude and followed him out the door.
Vic, Bee, and Kori also had buckets, but Raven and Dick didn't want to join. They walked with the other three down the streets and Kori, Vic, and Gar went from house to house.
They saw many children running around in the streets. They wore their costumes of either superheroes, ghosts, or princesses. However, the most energetic was Gar. He was sprinting from house to house, making sure he got as much candy as he could in the two hours he was given. The rest of the group did their best to keep up. However, what ended up happening was Raven and Bee were sitting on a bench talking, Vic attempted to be as fast as Gar, and Dick and Kori went off on their own. However, after an hour, Kori got tired of the activity and joined Bee and Raven on the bench.
"So, did you like it, Kori?" Bee asked her. Kori nodded.
"It was most enjoyable. I have received many treats." Kori stated. She showed off her bag of candy.
"OH! Let me see!" Bee exclaimed. "I'll trade you a piece of snickers for that Kit Kat."
"Snickers and the skittles."
"I get the whoppers too."
"You have the deal!" Kori exclaimed and the two exchanged their candies and ate happily. Dick then began to dig in Kori's candy bag. She slapped his hand away.
"OW!" Dick exclaimed.
"You did not wish to participate in the treat or trick. Therefore, you shall not get any." Kori scolded. Dick pouted sadly.
"But I want your Resse's." Dick whined. Dick's childish attitude made Kori smile, but she stayed firm.
"No. It is mine." Kori exclaimed, as she pulled one out and bit into the peanut butter cup in in front of him.
"But I walked with you while you trick or treated." Dick pestered. Kori then thought for a moment. Giving in, she handed him the other half of the candy. Dick beamed and finished it hastily. Kori giggled at his silliness.
"I am most tired now." Kori sighed in defeat.
"Yeah. I don't know how Gar was moving so fast." Dick admitted.
"My feet hurt." Bee agreed as she slipped off her heels and massaged her feet.
"Their two hours will be up in 6 minutes." Raven announced, looking at her phone at the time.
"Should we walk to the haunted house?" Dick asked.
"HELL NO! DIDN'T I JUST SAY THAT MY FEET HURT?!" Bee screamed loudly.
"Bee! There are children!" Kori exclaimed from her comment.
"We'll just drive. We can take Vic and Dick's cars." Raven states simply. Bee offered her candy bag and Raven pulled out a stick of gum. She popped it in her mouth and chewed it quickly.
BEEP BEEP BEEP! Raven's phone rang.
"Time's up! Where are those two?" Raven shouted, looking around for Vic and Gar. Bee pulled out her phone and called for Vic.
"Damn. No answer." She announced.
"Gar did not respond to my call as well." Kori stated.
"Well, let's go look for them." Dick concluded. "Let's start walking in the direction that we saw them go then split up. Kori and I will look on the left side of town and you guys look on the right."
"Alright! Let's go!" Bee exclaimed as they all went. After 15 minutes, Dick's phone rang.
"What's up, Raven?"
"We didn't find the two idiots. You guys?"
"No… We've asked a couple of houses and some people remember a hulk and a Kobe, but they don't know how long ago." Dick stated.
"Let's just go back! Vic knows how to get back to the house." Bee yelled from behind Raven. The others agreed and began to walk back to Bee's house. The four of them sat on the couch, watching some TV.
"Seriously… Where are those boys?" Bee exclaimed, calling Vic again. As she did that, DING DONG! Bee's doorbell rang.
"There they are." Raven groaned. Bee hung up the phone and went to the door.
"AH! HEY!" Bee exclaimed as she threw her arms around the person at the door.
"That doesn't sound like it's Gar and Vic." Dick concluded.
"Agreed." Kori added.
"Didn't here a 'where the hell have you two been?!." Raven stated, giving the statement the Bee impersonation. Bee came to the living room with a girl wearing a long red dress with short sleeves and white leaves on it. She also had a small Scrump doll in her hand and a Stitch purse to finish the costume.
"Alyssa!" Kori exclaimed, jumping up and throwing her arms around her.
"Hey Kori!" Alyssa smiled.
"You know Alyssa?" Bee asked confused.
"She was our cashier at Target today." Dick told Bee.
"Oh yeah! You work at Target now! Forget." Bee smiled sheepishly.
"I didn't know the friend you were talking about was Bee." Dick said to Alyssa.
"I never see Bee. We use to go to middle school together, but she went to Jump City, so we don't get to hang out as much." Alyssa explained. "SO! Thought I would surprise her with a pop in! But you already have guests."
"No worries! We have room for ya." Bee assured.
"Yes! We would be honored to have you join us!" Kori agreed.
"Well, you guys are really cool." Alyssa smiled. "Is your sister coming? She was so funny!"
"Freya probably will stop by later tonight." Dick nodded.
"Cool. So where's your boyfriend?" Alyssa asked Bee.
"Him and our friend got caught up in trick-or-treating. We don't know where they went." Bee threw her hands up in the air.
"I can go and look for them." Raven suggested.
"Oh! I'm Alyssa, by the way." Alyssa smiled to Raven, putting her hand out. Raven simply shook her hand.
"Raven."
"Nice to meet you."
"You shouldn't go out looking for them. They could be on the way to Gotham City by now." Dick shook his head at Raveb.
"So, now what?" Alyssa asked.
"We can go to that Haunted House?" Bee suggested.
"There's only five of us, so we'll fit in my car." Dick added.
"Let's go. I'm bored here." Raven muttered. The group went out to Dick's corvette.
"You can sit in the passenger seat, Kori." Raven stated. Before Kori was here, Raven use to always sit in front, just a traditional thing they did. However, Kori's dating Dick, so Raven didn't want to sit next to Dick when Kori should. That would be just awkward.
"No no, Friend Raven! You may sit in the front!" Kori stated. Kori had the guilt of "taking" away one of Raven's ability.
"Sit in front, Kori." Raven stated.
"Aw, come on, Raven. You know you dream about sitting in shotgun when I'm driving." Dick smirked devilishly. Raven walked over to him and smacked the back of his head. "OW!"
"Say that again and see what happens." Raven snapped. She opened the front seat door and placed Kori in the seat, slipping herself in the back.
"That really hurt." Dick whined. Bee and Alyssa shrugged and slid in the back, while Dick was softly rubbing his head and hopping into the driver's seat. The drive was about 15 minutes and they ended up there. It was the community center they were using, so the outside looked very simple and safe, but not the inside
"Ready to go?" Bee exclaimed, hopping out of the car and ready to go to the haunted house. Raven casually walked up and Kori slowly got out.
"Ready, Star?" Dick asked her. She nodded her head, unsure. "What wrong? Scared?" Kori responded in nodding her head again. Dick laced his fingers with hers.
"Don't worry. As long as we're together, we'll be okay." Dick gave her an assuring smile. Kori stared at Dick and gave him a smile. He squeezed her hand lightly and they walked up to the center. Dick went over the the tent to pay for their tickets. After receiving them, he went back to Kori, so they could go in. They handed their tickets to a Zombie man standing at the door and walked in. It was dark and a smoke machine was going off. There was a flickering light in the corner, but it seemed okay. The entrance had a coffin that said "enter if you dare". This made Kori shiver, but she was not too afraid. The couple followed the trail. And bats or spiders hung from the ceiling. Then, a man dressed like a wolf jumped out from behind a podium
"AH!" Kori screamed bloody murder. She threw her arms around Dick, petrified and unable to move. Dick softly stroked her hair and continued to guide her through the haunted house.
"Sh… It's okay. He's gone now." Dick assured. He spoke too soon because another person, dressed like a bloody clown with an ax began to walk toward them. Kori buried her face into Dick's shoulder and small tears ran down her face. Dick pulled her into a tight hug. They continued to walk and more people popped out, causing the people around them to scream. Kori began to shiver in Dick's arms
"Do you want to leave?" Dick asked her. Kori, not wanting to ruin his time, shook her head no, but her body said otherwise. Dick ignored his girlfriend's answer, knowing she was trying to put a brave front. He brought Kori over to a man dressed with a chain saw and hockey mask.
"Excuse me. Is there a way to leave the haunted house early?" Dick asked him. He slipped off his mask, revealing an average looking college student.
"Oh yeah. For sure. I'll take you there. Your girl okay?" He asked, eyeing Kori. Though she had her baseball cap on, her feminine figure stood out enough to tell she was a girl. They walked through a pair of doors that led them to a hallway not decorated for the haunted house. This is probably how the scarers get to their spot for the Haunted House.
"Yeah. I think it was just a little too scary for her." Dick replied.
"Oh. Sorry about that then. I hope she feels better." The guy gave a weary smile.
"Don't worry about it. She should be fine later." Dick assured, not wanting to worry the guy.
"Just go through those doors and it'll lead you to the outside of the building." The guy pointed to the end of the hallway.
"Thanks. Appreciate it." Dick replied and he held Kori till the exit. Dick brought her to a bench and hand her sit down. She curled herself into a ball and Dick responded by wrapping his arms around her shaking frame. He gently rubbed her arm and she continued to shake
"You okay, Star?" Dick asked her softly in her ear. His warm breath tickled her ear, sending shivers, but soothed her.
"…Yes." Kori finally replied.
"You want to go back to the car?" Dick asked. Kori nodded quickly and Dick stood up. However, he saw a small carnival in front of them for the little kids who were too scared to enter the Haunted House. Dick smirked and turned to Kori.
"Wait here, okay? I'll be right back." Dick informed. Kori looked at him, but nodded in response. Dick jogged over to the festival. Kori waited patiently, swinging her feet while sitting on the bench. Dick came back with a clear bag.
"Kettle corn!" Kori beamed as she stretched out her arms to receive it.
"More excited to see the food than me. I see how it is." Dick teased, handing her the bag. Kori's smile became crestfallen.
"No! I am most excited to see you." Kori denied, kissing his cheek softly, wrapping her arm around him. Dick smiled happily from her kiss. Kori ate quickly, having almost half the bag gone.
"Hungry?" Dick teased.
"Yes." Kori blushed and Dick snaked his arms around her, kissing her temple. He then used one of his hands to dig into the bag and feed Kori another one.
"Wonder where the girls are." Dick asked out loud.
"I believe they should be exiting the house of haunted soon." Kori concurred.
"Yeah. Those people over there were in front of us in the Haunted House, so they should be out." Dick agreed. The pair got up to look for the girls.
"Hey guys!" A voice came from behind. They saw Bee, Raven, and Alyssa walking towards them. Dick gave them a wave.
"Where were you guys?" Dick asked.
"We were at the Haunted House! Where were you guys?" Bee exclaimed.
"Kori didn't like it too much." Dick vaguely put it, stroking his hand on Kori's arm.
"You okay?" Raven asked, concern in her monotone voice. Kori nodded quickly.
"Yes. I just did not enjoy the scare as many of you do." Kori informed.
"Was it okay for you?" Alyssa asked.
"We just headed out early and sat outside." Dick casually replied.
"Should we head back to the house?" Bee asked. RING RING! She got a response from a phone call.
"Hello?" Bee asked. Pause.
"WHERE ARE YOU TWO?! We said we were meeting back after TWO hours of trick or treating? Not three and a half!" Pause. "Yeah you betta not be able to get into my house!" Another pause. "No. We're going out for pizza now. You boys can just sit in front of the door until we get back."
The others could hear a soft noise coming from the phone, too soft to understand, but they got what they were saying by Bee's reaction.
"I don't care if we're eating pizza till 5 am! We ain't making the extra trip just because you guys are locked out of the house." Another pause was made.
"WE WILL NOT GET YOU PIZZA! Ya'll made me look for your butts when my feet were killing me!"
Bee hung up the phone forcefully and turned to the others.
"Since when were we getting pizza?" Dick asked.
"Just wanted to ruin their lives by going to get pizza and making them locked out." Bee grumbled.
"I am going to head out. My friend just texted me to watch a Wicked Scary marathon. Thanks for inviting me!" Alyssa exclaimed.
"No probs! Thanks for stopping by before! I so missed you!" Bee beamed, pulling her into a tight hug.
"Nice meeting you." Dick gave her a small wave.
"You too! Hope to see you guys again soon!" Alyssa beamed.
"We should all go shopping together!" Bee exclaimed.
"Yes! I enjoy going to the mall of shopping! It is most enjoyable! We can even invite Freya" Kori jumped.
"Yeah. I wanted to meet her! Sounds like a plan. Text me, yeah? Bye!" Alyssa smiled as she headed out.
"Let's go, then." Raven stated. The rest of the group got up and headed for the car. Dick pulled out and blasted the music. It was "Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees. With many kids still trick-or-treating, Dick drove cautiously. It was about a 10 minute drive and they pulled into the parking lot of the pizza parlor. They all entered to a relatively busy parlor and slid into the booth.
The pizza parlor is a relatively casual when you did not have a reservation. You could sit where you want. You just ordered at the front and sat down, having a number at your table. After, a female waitress dressed in a 50s poodle skirt and rollerblades will bring over your food.
"What do we want?" Dick asked.
"Pepperoni."
"Hawaiian."
"Cheese."
"Uh…" was Dick's response. Even when Gar and Vic weren't there, pizza decisions were still difficult.
"How about we have a meat pizza, pepperoni, sausage, ham, and all that and then another half cheese, half Hawaiian style pizza?" Bee suggested.
"Works for me." Dick smiled.
"I don't mind Hawaiian." Raven stated.
"A glorious idea!" Kori exclaimed. Dick smiled and walked over to the counter. The lady at the register was batting her eyelashes at Dick, a short brunette with too much make up than she needed. Dick seemed uninterested, but Kori noticed him blushed and rubbing the back of his neck. Dick shook his head and pointed to the table. She looked at it and was shocked. Dick then paid for the food and came back.
"What happened?" Bee asked.
"Cashier was flirting." Dick simple stated, putting the receipt in in wallet.
"Then?" Raven asked.
"Told her I had a girlfriend. She looked over at the table and said 'Yeah. I'm not into players. Thanks though.'"
"She thought we were all your girlfriends?" Bee trying to figure it out.
"Guess so." Dick shrugged nonchalantly. "If it gets them to stop hitting on me, whatever then."
"I did not agree to you having multiple friends who are girls." Kori glared, green eyes of jealousy.
"Neither did I." Raven muttered. The girls folded their arms at Dick.
"I didn't say you guys all were. I just didn't say you weren't. Come on, it gets her to stop being obnoxiously batting her eyes at me and we can have have a normal time without annoying girls around us." Dick urged.
"How much we owe you for pizza, Dick?" Raven asked, pulling out her wallet.
"Oh come on. We know you Richie Rich, but we don't want to keep using you." Bee persuaded.
"Nah. I offer." Dick insisted.
"Trying to really have three girlfriends, Dick?" Raven smirked devilishly.
"Hey! Just trying to be nice and buy friends some pizza." Dick defended.
"But your money's been cut off. You can't take money from Bruce no more." Bee pointed out.
"You should not spend money when we need to do the saving up for when we are to have the rent to pay in the spring." Kori insisted.
"No worries. I got it." Dick smiled.
"… You're not taking money from Bruce still, are you?" Raven asked in a questioning tone.
"Course not…"
"Richard…"
"Just money for food and stuff." Dick insisted.
"Richard! You possess money from the job you have gotten at the store of clothing! Why do you need more money?" Kori exclaimed.
"Just for extra stuff." Dick uneasily replied. Raven stared at him. Though under his shades, he could not look directly at her and avoided her gaze.
"Richard! You will receive consequences for such!" Kori scolded.
"Isn't Bruce a stickler for rules? Why would he allow this?" Bee asked.
"Bruce doesn't know, does he?" Raven seemed to read Dick's mind.
"I gatta go get those pizzas!" Dick exclaimed as he got up, but was pulled down by Kori.
"Waiters bring the food, dumbbell." Bee obviously stated.
"Richard… Are you even the working at your occupation?" Kori asked, staring at his face. He could not lie to her face and continued to look at the table awkwardly.
"Um…" Dick started.
"Richard!" Kori exclaimed loudly, knowing his answer from his lack of an answer. "What have you been the doing when you are to attend the work?"
"Nothing!" Dick defended.
"Dick…" Bee threatened.
"It's not important, okay?" Dick insisted
"Oh no…" Raven muttered. "Kori. Can you go with Bee to the bathroom?"
"What? OW! Yeah! Bathroom! Can't pee without ya, Kori!" Bee exclaimed a little too loudly and the two got up. After the girls were out of earshot.
"Who is she?" Raven snarled, glaring deeply at Dick, giving him the most threatening look.
"What?!" Dick exclaimed.
"You heard me. What bimbo you sleeping with, you two-timing asshole?" Raven snapped.
"NO ONE! I am not cheating on Kori! I wouldn't do that to her!" Dick defended loudly.
"Oh yeah? Then why are you acting like you did 2 years ago? When you were dating that idiot Cathy while you were going out with Natalia?"
"I am not!"
"Then what have you been doing when you are suppose to go to work?"
"Nothing!"
"Then why didn't you say you didn't have a job?"
"Because you have to have one!"
"Don't act responsible when you've been taking Bruce's money this entire time."
"I haven't been taking any of his money!"
"What are you hiding?"
"NOT. A. THING!"
"Don't lie to me, Dick. I know you. If you are, I swear I will make sure you don't have a dick."
"God! Why can't a guy just want some time alone after school?"
"Because if that was all, you would've told Kori. Unless, you really don't care about her…" Raven's tactic changed.
"Of course I do!"
"She must not be that special if you are hiding such a stupid act of just 'being alone'."
"She is special!"
"Wonder how I should tell her you don't trust her…" Raven was good at messing with Dick's mind. He could never get anything around his brilliant friend.
"GOD DAMMIT! I'm doing this for her!"
"What are you doing?" Raven asked. Dick snarled in frustration. He pulled out his wallet and threw Raven a piece of paper. She picked it up and stared at it oddly.
"… Racing…" Raven finally stated.
"Yes! Okay, now don't say it so damn loud!" Dick snarled. A brow on the purple-haired girl's face rose, knowing she muttered it at her normal volume.
"What?" Raven asked. Dick ran a hand through his spiky hair.
"It's not really allowed.." Dick softly explained.
"I know that. Why?" Raven asked, lost as ever.
"For Kori." Raven smacked him on the back of the head. "Ow! What the hell!"
"Racing's against school policy." Raven scolded.
"I know that." Dick muttered.
"You know, but you're doing it?" Raven admitted.
"Well yeah. How else you think I get money?"
"It's called work, genius."
"Working takes too long. Plus, None of these guys can beat me. It's quick and I earn 4 times as much racing than I do working."
"It's breaking the rules."
"I need to do it."
"If you need money that badly, it's better to just to ask money from Bruce."
"You know Bruce wouldn't do that. He's a bigger stickler for rules than you are."
"What do you need all this money for?"
"For Kori! I thought I said that before!" Dick answered with a ticked off expression. Raven shot one back/
"What the hell does Kori need that requires you to make 4 times more money?" Dick pulled out his phone and showed her a site.
"What is this?" Raven asked.
"Star's Christmas present."
"… Christmas is in two months, Dick…"
"I know that! But you can't get this anywhere. And since no Bruce, I gatta make money fast."
"It's really beautiful…"
"I think she'll really like it. That's why I have to get it." Dick concluded.
"… I don't like that you are doing something bad... But your intentions are good."
"Thanks. Don't push the 'me not working' thing. I am working. I'm just working half the time that Kori thinks at Hollister. The other half I go to the streets." Raven let out a deep sigh.
"Alright. But once you make enough money, you better quit." Raven sternly said.
"Yeah, yeah." Dick muttered.
"Don't blow this off, Dick. If you don't, I swear I will tell Kori and it will not be taken lightly."
"Hey guys!" A voice came from behind.
"Gar? Vic? How did you guys get here?" Dick asked as the two boys slid into the booth.
"We found out Vic left his car keys in his pocket, so we drove over." Gar gave a toothy grin, knowing that Bee's plans to torture them failed.
"Smooth." Raven muttered.
"So, what you guys talking bout?" Vic asked.
"Dick's racing."
"WHAT?! DUDE! You know you can't race!" Gar exclaimed.
"What kind of secret keeper are you?!" Dick shot a glare at Raven.
"You said form Kori, not from them."
"Why the hell are you racing? You trying to get yourself expelled?!" Vic exclaimed.
"Kori's Christmas present." Raven stated, receiving another death glare from Dick. Vic and Gar stared at each other for a moment confused.
"What?" Gar finally asked.
"Kori's Christmas present is expensive. And I don't make enough at Hollister to get it in time with the saving plan Kori wants us to have for the bills that will be coming next semester." Dick explained.
"So… You're racing for money for her Christmas present?" Gar asked, still confused.
"Yes. Now, shut up and don't say anything to Kori." Dick threatened.
"You're quitting once you get enough money, right?" Vic asked.
"Yeah, sure."
"Don't give us that, Dick." Gar shot.
"Yeah. You know what will happen if you get caught." Vic crossed his arms over his chest.
"I know. That's why you guys got to keep your traps shut." Dick snapped.
"Don't worry, Dude." Gar assured
"Yeah, we won't rat you out." Vic stated.
"Thanks. Don't tell Kori, either. She'll flip if she knew." Dick stated.
"Who shall do the flipping?" A sweet voice asked from behind Dick. They turned to see Bee and Kori returning from the bathroom.
"Dolphins!" Gar exclaimed loudly. They all stared at him oddly. "Dolphins flip…"
"Dick was talking about Carson. He was saying how she would flip out if she found out Dick was borrowing money from Bruce." Raven covered.
"I know, man! You gatta stop." Bee stated, sliding into the booth after Kori.
"I am. Just needed some money for food and stuff." Dick assured.
"Glorious! I do not wish you to be the trouble with the school." Kori stated, slipping her arms around his shoulders and leaned against his body, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Me either." Raven muttered, glaring at him. Dick shot a look at Raven.
"Here are you pizzas!" The waitress smiled as she placed two large pizzas on their table.
"Sweet!" Gar exclaimed, reaching for a cheese slice, when his hand was slapped away. "OW!" Gar yelped, caressing his hand gingerly.
"You guys made us look for you guys, wait, and not show up." Raven snapped.
"But we're hungry too!" Vic pouted childishly.
"You guys didn't even answer our phone calls!" Bee yelled.
"We got in a dead zone. There wasn't a cell phone bar anywhere in sight!" Vic defended.
"We were to meet at the time we had discussed." Kori countered.
"Let's take a vote then. All those think Vic and Gar should get pizza?" Dick asked with a response from Vic and Gar raising their hands.
"All opposed?" Raven asked and the rest of them raised their hands.
"Man. You guys suck." Vic insulted, lamely.
"Just go buy your own pizza." Raven snapped. Vic grumbled as he and Gar got up to the cashier and ordered their pizzas.
"Were we too cruel to them?" Kori asked as the boys were at the register.
"No. They need to learn to be responsible." Bee informed.
"They can't just ignore plans when they are made." Dick added.
"I suppose…" Kori sadly agreed. She hated her friends to be excluded or sad, but she did realize it was necessary. They continued to eat as they saw Vic and Gar come back.
"So, what are we doing next?" Vic asked, sliding into the booth.
"We already went to the Haunted House." Dick began.
"I guess just going back to my place." Bee concluded.
"Cools. Anyone call up Freya?" Gar asked.
"I shall do the ringing of her!" Kori exclaimed as she pulled out her phone and dialed. She placed the phone to her ear and waited. After a few moments passed, the dialing stopped.
"Sister!" Kori exclaimed.
"Why is it the loudness?" Kori asked, squinting her eyes in attempt to hear her sister better.
"We are currently at the parlor of pizza planning to venture to Bee's house in order to have the party of slumber." Kori informed. She paused again.
"Who?" Kori asked and another pause. She covered the mouth piece and spoke to her friends at the table. "Freya wishes to know if she can bring a companion."
"That sounds cool with me. Who?" Bee asked.
"I believe it is Roy." Kori uneasily informed. There was a long pause. They all loved their friend Freya, but ever since she's been hanging around Roy and them, they have been uncertain about her.
"Here's your pizza!" A waitress came by and placed a Mega Meaty Meat Special and a Veggie Delight pizza on the table.
"Thank you!" Gar and Vic smiled happily and dived in.
'Kori? You still there?' The group heard Freya from the phone.
"Yes. I am still available." Kori answered, giving a glance to Bee.
"Honey Bee? It's your house." Vic placed the decision on Bee.
"Well… I do miss Freya …" Bee thought out loud. She then left a pause in her sentence. "Yeah. Let him over."
"Yes. Roy is able to attend as well." Kori confirmed.
"We shall see you in 30 minutes. Good bye, Sister." Kori ended the call.
"You sure about this, Bee?" Raven asked uncertainly.
"And Roy's probably the most tolerable of their entire group." Bee shrugged, trying to convince herself of the decision.
"What if it's a trap? A nasty plan made by those bimbos for God knows what?" Raven questioned.
"Freya trusts him…" Dick added. "We gatta give her some credit."
"He did not made inappropriate comments to me as Xavier has done." Kori stated as well.
"We can film embarrassing stuff of him as blackmail!" Gar exclaimed.
"Good plan." Vic knuckle touched Gar.
"Let's just go with it for now. If there is any reason to doubt him, we won't keep it hidden." Dick confirmed. The group ate their pizzas.
"Let's go. Freya said they'd be there in half an hour right?" Bee asked. Kori nodded. The group then got up and headed back to Bee's house. As the two cars pulled up to the driveway, they saw a 2012 gold Lamborghini in Bee's driveway, with Roy and Freya sitting in front of her front door, laughing.
"Hm…" Raven muttered as the group got out and came to the door, unsure of how she felt about this.
"Hey guys! I beat you guys here!" Freya exclaimed happily. Freya was in a short light green dress with wings, a wand, a puffy slippers. She had her hair in a high bun, finishing off her Tinkerbell look. Roy was wearing a hat with a feather and green shirt and pants .He also had a quiver filled with arrows and a bow over his shoulder. His Robin Hood costume seemed to match Freya's with the green.
"That's definitely a first." Raven sarcastically stated. Freya shot her a glare.
"Hey Roy…" Gar awkwardly greeted.
"Hey guys. What did you guys do?" Roy casually asked.
"Trick or treating." Vic simply replied, holding up his bag of candy.
"Haunted house." Dick added.
"Pizza." Kori finished.
"Oh. Sounds like a packed day." Roy stated. Freya smiled at him and glared at her friends as they walked pass her.
"So… What did you guys do?" Gar started.
"We played pool in the Underground." Roy stated.
"I didn't know you could play, Freya." Dick stated.
"She can't." Roy teased. Freya shot him a glare and punched his arm.
"Shut up! I can too." Freya defended.
"Yeah. And you scratched how many times? 17?" Roy cheekily grinned and Freya punched him harder. The rest of them snickered behind her.
"Anyone was a drink?" Bee asked as she headed to the kitchen.
"Root beer, Honey buns!" Vic yelled.
"Herbal tea." Raven stated as she sat at the couch.
"Sprite." Roy said.
"Ginger ale, Bee!" Freya exclaimed.
"I shall assist you, Bee! There are many drinks you must retrieve!" Kori smiled. "I shall get your beverage, Richard." Kori slipped her arms around Dick's neck and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before going to the kitchen.
"Thanks, Star" Dick smiled.
"Aw! Ain't that cute?" Vic teased.
"Don't be jealous." Dick taunted.
"Jealous? Of what? You being whipped?" Vic shot.
"At least my girlfriend don't slap me every time I say something." Dick countered.
"Bee loves to slap. It's her way of showing love." Vic defended.
"I prefer kisses from Kori, thank you." Dick replied.
"What are you two idiots fighting bout?" Bee yelled from the kitchen.
"If you or Kori's the better girlfriend." Raven answered.
"What?" Bee asked, coming back in with many soda cans in her arms as well as Kori. They placed them on the table.
"My honey bee is the best!"
"Star is the nicest girl in the world!"
"Bee always cuddles!"
"Kori loves to hug!"
"I think your girlfriends are perfect for you." Roy stated. They all looked at him. He looked a little uncomfortable, but continued. "I mean, you like Bee the way she is and you like Kori the way she is. If they were the same, it would be like dating the same girl, right? And that's kind of weird for guy friends to do. And besides, if they were the same, you guys would be fighting over her all the time."
"Yeah. Now they're fighting about them instead." Raven joked. The group laughed.
"I mean, makes sense, right? Xavier and I don't even go for the same girls." Roy stated.
"Really?" Freya asked.
"Yeah. Xavier loves the quick relationships. The pretty girls he can just go for, then dump when he's done. I think a relationship's gatta build, you know? Or you never know the person." Roy explained.
"That Is very insightful, Roy." Kori complimented.
"So… what do you guys want to do?" Dick asked.
"Let's watch a horror movie! We missed the one at school." Bee exclaimed. Kori whimpered softly, curling herself in a ball to make herself small. Dick slipped his arms around her waist and held her close.
"Maybe not…" Dick tried to avoid the idea.
"There's nothing else fun to do!" Gar exclaimed.
"Let's race!" Gar exclaimed, running to the TV and game station.
"Please. I'll kick your butt!" Vic exclaimed.
"I'm in!" Roy smiled, grabbing a controller.
"I'd like to see you guys take me down!" Dick joined in.
"Seriously?" Bee snapped.
"We can do manicures?" Freya suggested.
"No." Raven countered. The other three girls looked at each other and dragged Raven to Bee's bedroom. Bee's room was simple. Walls were a light yellow and her furniture was all white. Her walls had sparkly little bees all over. The girls threw Raven on the bed as they jumped on. Bee retrieved nail polish and acetone.
"So Freya, how was hanging out with Rooooy?" Bee teased, while gesturing to Kori which nail color she wanted. Kori picked the deep red.
"It was pretty fun, actually. Roy and I played pool together and we went against a couple other pairs. We beat all of them! Course, Roy did most of the work. He has amazing accuracy." Freya casually replied, pulling black nail polish for Raven's nails.
"I am glad." Kori smiled.
"Yeah. I kind of was confused how he was my real life partner. Carson wouldn't just set that up, you know? I think he bid for me for some reason…" Freya admitted.
"Think it's a trap?" Raven asked bluntly.
"Nah. Roy's pretty frugal. I don't think he'd spend money willy nilly for something like this. He's really cool too."
"He seems very nice." Bee admitted.
"Perhaps we did the judging before doing the knowing?" Kori suggested.
"What about Terra?" Raven brought up. They all were silent.
"Well, I mean, we never got to know her before. I see Roy every day for real life. He's really cool. I think he's hanging out with the wrong group, to be honest." Freya said.
"Just… be careful." Raven warned.
"I will. I mean, we're not serious or anything. We are just becoming friends."
"What about Garth?" Bee nudged.
"Garth was just my Homecoming date. Seriously, after Homecoming, we rarely talk." Freya admitted.
"That's how all dance dates go if you guys aren't currently dating." Bee rolled her eyes.
"I know. I wish we were friends again..." Freya admitted.
"Okay. Your turn." Raven announced, waving her hands in the air to dry them faster.
"I want that green. Matches my outfit!" Freya exclaimed.
"Kor, can you alternate black and yellow for me?" Bee asked.
"Of course!" Kori smiled, shaking the bottle before taking out the brush.
"What about you, Raven? How's Gar?" Freya sang.
"I don't know. Go down and ask him." Raven avoided the subject.
"Come on, Raven. Don't play dumb. You guys are getting kinda cozy." Bee teased.
"Gar and I are just friends. Like Freya said about the dates thing. After Homecoming, we went back to normal. Not worse like her and Garth, just like old times." Raven admitted.
"I believe you are not the noticing. Gar has been staring at you more." Kori informed.
"Seriously?" Bee exclaimed.
"Yes. I have seen." Kori nodded.
"YOU GUYS CAN BE TOGETHER!" Freya squealed.
"Doubt we will." Raven said.
"Don't say you don't want it." Bee shot her a look.
"I never been in a relationship. How can I know it's something I want?" Raven stated.
"I never had Joseph Gordon Levitt, but I most definitely want him." Freya giggled. Kori and Bee laughed along with her.
"Still. I'm not sure he wants it." Raven denied.
"By what Kori says, seems like he does." Bee stated.
"Perhaps he is apprehensive because he is unsure if what you desire." Kori inferred.
"Yeah! Send the hints!" Bee cooed.
"What?" Raven snapped.
"You know! Like look at him more, flash a smile, or start up conversations more." Bee stated in an obvious tone.
"I don't do that." Raven shot.
"That's the point! You're making him feel special!" Freya sassily replied.
"I'll try it a little then." Raven replied.
"So, how's married life, Bee?" Freya asked. Bee brushed that off.
"It's fine. Vic and I are fine as usual. I think he's been a little stress from college apps though. Makes me really nervous that college scouts want him. U of Michigan, Oregon State, and Boise State! My god!" Bee exclaimed.
"Your boy's good." Raven simply stated.
"I know. But, I really don't want him to go that far, not that I'd tell him…" Bee slumped.
"Get what you mean. Don't want to influence his decision on where to go because what if it isn't want he wants." Freya nodded.
"Exactly. But, I know I'll miss him too much." Bee gave a sad smile.
"It shall do the working out!" Kori assured.
"Yeah. Vic will pull through." Freya stated.
"I hope so. So, you and Dick, Kori?" Bee switched the light to someone else.
"We are fine." Kori assured.
"You two are the cutest things alive." Freya gushed.
"He is very romantic." Kori smiled.
"OOOH! Dirty details!" Bee teased.
"Huh?" Kori asked.
"I think she means his chivalry." Raven tartly answered for Kori.
"Oh yes. Richard is very polite and he does the well treating of me." Kori said.
"That's nice." Freya nodded.
"Wish Vic was more like Dick to me, I can tell you that." Bee said.
"But…" Raven said. Bee then sighed.
"But I love my Vic exactly the way he is." She droned. The girls then laughed at Bee's response.
"Let's go to the guys, girls! We need to play something!" Freya exclaimed, jumping out off the bed.
"As long as Vic doesn't suggest truth or dare again." Raven stated, all of them leaving the room. They saw the boys still playing the video game.
"NO FAIR! YOU CHEATED!" The high-pitched voice of Gar yelled.
"Skill isn't cheating." Dick smartly replied.
"TURBO!" Roy yelled.
"NO!" Vic yelled, vigorously swinging his remote as if it will help him drive faster.
"WAHOO! NEW HIGH SCORE!" Dick jumped. The other boys grumbled.
"REMATCH!" Gar yelled.
"You're on!" Dick confidently replied.
"Uh, guys?" Bee's voice exclaimed. No one turned around.
"Hello?" Kori said. Freya held up one hand as if saying, 'Don't worry guys. I got this'.
"What?! Your lifeguard neighbor's only wearing what?!" Freya yelled loudly. All the boys jumped up.
"What?! Where?!" Gar exclaimed. All the girls slapped a boy in the head.
"OW!" They yelled in unison.
"I can't believe they fell for something that stupid." Raven shook her head.
"We are not!" Gar defended.
"Let's do something, guys!" Bee exclaimed.
"We can play truth or dare?" Vic smiled.
"Is that all you ever suggest?" Raven glared.
"It's the best thing to do!" Vic defended.
"We can play Truth?" Roy suggested.
"What is this game?" Kori asked.
"It's basically Truth or dare, but just Truth. You have to answer if you're called on and it's actually a lot more intense than truth or dare." Roy explained.
"I don't know…" Raven replied, not really trusting Roy and his ideas.
"Dares make it fun!" Gar pouted.
"It makes you want to say inappropriate things." Freya shot.
"Let's try it! And if it's no fun, we'll switch to something else." Bee suggested.
"Okay. I will start! Freya! What do you hide in your room that you won't let me see?" Bee asked. Freya blushed and shot her a glare.
"Nothing!"Freya yelled.
"You can't lie, Freya." Vic stated sternly. Freya sighed.
"Okay. It's a book I have full of blackmail tapes and photos of you guys." Freya stated.
"WHAT?!" They all yelled.
"Yeah. If ya'll ever mess with me, Imma hit you with…" Freya then pointed at Gar "Christmas 2010", then Vic "Football car wash 2011", Dick "Beach trip in August", and then Bee "Slumber party, December 2010". Freya beamed proudly.
"Messed up!" Gar pouted.
"That's right. You can't mess with me." Freya smirked devilishly.
"Please, what occurred at such events?" Kori asked.
"Some that shall never be mentioned, ever again…" Vic stated darkly.
"Okay. Roy! Where did you hide your candy stash?" Freya asked.
"No way! I'm not sharing my stash with you!" Roy denied.
"You're not. You're sharing with all of us." Vic smartly stated.
"I worked hard for my stash!" Roy shook his head, folding his arms over his torso.
"It was your game." Bee stated.
"Trunk of my car." Roy quietly. Freya heard and she sprinted, snatching Roy's keys from the coffee table and out the door.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE, PIXIE SPRITE!" Roy yelled, scrambling up as well and chasing after. As Roy was coming to the car, Freya had already closed it with a large bag full of apparently candy.
"HAND IT OVER!" Roy shot.
"Sure… But not to you!" Freya exclaimed, Throwing the bag overhead. "VIC! CATCH!"
"GOT IT! WAHOO!" Vic exclaimed running inside.
"Man…" Roy pouted. Freya slipped his arms around his body.
"Thanks, Roy!" Freya giggled, giving a quick peck on the cheek and sprinted off. Roy, standing still, slowly brought his hand up to his cheek and rubbed it. A smile slowly flew up to his face as he walked back to the house.
"It's worth it."
They were all chewing down on the candy. Freya was eating some sour gummy worms as Roy slipped next to her.
"Want one? NOT THE RED AND YELLOW THOUGH!" Freya warned. Roy chuckled and took a handful, trying to avoid red and yellow gummies, but failed. Freya then glared and stole the ones she wanted back.
"Roy. Your turn." Vic said, through muffling.
"Okay… Kori. Why did you start coming to America?" Roy asked. Kori was a little quiet, maybe not use to the attention. But she paused, then began to speak.
"Oh. My parents wished for me to use the English I have learned. They have believed that attending a school in the American will allow me to do such." Kori informed. The rest of the group nodded.
"That's cool. Cause now you're here right?" Roy said. Kori nodded happily in response. She then glanced around for her "victim".
"Vic. Where do you wish to attend for your schooling next year?" Kori asked.
"I'm not sure. Dad's really pushing U of Alabama, since are killing it this season. Mom went to Notre Dame, so you know she's pushing for that. I'm not really sure, to be honest. I don't wanna so far, you know? But, the scholarships are slowing coming in. I think I gatta wait till I see those." Vic confessed.
"I wish you the best in the decisions." Kori smiled.
"Thanks, girl." Vic gave her a smile. "Okay… Let's see… Dick, what did you dream about last night?" Vic gave a devilish grin. Dick blushed a deep red and looked away, not wanting to look at anyone.
"Diick! What was it?" Gar sang.
"Nothing." Dick growled, still not looking.
"I heard you mumbling." Vic still had his devilish grin. Dick shot him a glare.
"Ass." Dick snapped. Kori then wrapped her arms around Dick, attempting to calm him down.
"You do not need to speak if you do not wish to, Richard." Kori said, rubbing his arm soothingly.
"Oh yes he does!" Gar teased. Dick snarled.
"It was about Kori…" Dick's blush became deeper.
"What happened?" Freya sang.
"Oh no! I don't want to hear the dirty details!" Bee covered her ears protectively.
"There weren't dirty details!" Dick yelled, blushing deeper now.
"Oh? Then what? Vic coaxed.
"We were watching the sunset." Dick mumbled.
"Aw. That's cute." Freya cooed.
"Then?" Roy asked, curious too.
"On a beach."
"Oh I see. Checking out Kori in the bikini." Gar nudged. Dick glared, but did not deny it.
"Gar. Favorite song?" Dick asked. Gar went pale.
"Uh… 'High School Never Ends' buy Bowling for Soup?" Gar attempted.
"No lying." Dick snapped.
"… 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'…" Gar muttered.
"BAHAHAHAHA!" Everyone laughed.
"Shut up! It's a powerful song!" Gar defended. This made the other boys roll on the floor laughing loudly.
"Whatever! Raven! How do I make you laugh?" Gar smiled. They all stopped laughing and looked at Raven. She had a soft glare at the sudden attention.
"Saying actually funny jokes." Raven simply stated.
"WHAT?! My jokes are funny!" Gar pouted. The rest of the group shook their heads at him. He slumped sadly.
"This game's getting kinda old." Roy admitted.
"Yeah… Let's do something else." Vic agreed.
"Game station!" Vic exclaimed, running over.
"Again?!" Bee whined. Gar ran over as well.
"I'll take you boys DOWN!" Freya cockily announced, following Gar.
"You are so on!" Roy replied, following her.
"I'm going to read." Raven simply stated, getting up.
"Really? What you reading?" Bee asked.
"Breadgivers." Raven stated.
"Hey. That's what my book report's on! Can you help me?" Bee asked.
"Sure. Let's go to your room so it's quiet." Raven stated and the girls headed out, leaving our favorite pair.
"So what about you, Star? What you want to do?" Dick asked.
"You do not wish to enjoy the gaming?" Kori asked.
"Nah. I already beat them. Need to give them time to improve to build up their confidence before I crush it." Dick cockily stated. Kori shoved him lightly, making Dick chuckle.
"Then what do you wish to participate in?" Kori asked.
"Not sure… But seriously, you look really good as me. I knew I was good looking, but didn't know I was that good looking." Dick smirked. Kori giggled.
"I thank you." Kori smiled.
"So, what do you want to do, Baby?" Dick asked. Kori giggled at the pet names. Dick loved to call her "Sweetheart, Baby, Honey, Star, MY girl". It made Kori giggly at the fact he was so affectionate.
"I am uncertain. We may view the others and their gaming? I believe Bee and Raven do not wish to be disturbed with their reading." Kori suggested. The pair looked over at the four, screaming at each other as they raced.
"Yeah, no. They are a little out of hand right now…" Dick stated. Then, a light bulb went off. "I know! Come on!" Dick jumped up gleefuly, dragging Kori with him.
"Richard! Where are we going?" Kori yelled, but Dick did not respond. He continued to pull her out the front door and hopping on top of his car.
"Will the lady like to join me in star watching?" Dick smirked. Kori had a soft smile on her face. She took his hand and slipped on top of the hood of the car.
"Is this becoming 'a thing'?" Kori asked.
"It is a good thing." Dick teased.
"Yes. I do believe it is quite good." Kori agreed.
"So why not? This can be our thing." Dick smiled. Kori had a sweet smile as the gazed up at the stars.
"It is your turn." Kori broke the silence.
"Oh, is it? Sorry. Uh… What did you say last time? Cupcakes?" Dick asked.
"The tiny cakes that are red."
"Right. Red velvet cupcakes. Okay… German fudge cake."
"That sounds very sweet."
"Not as sweet as you." Kori slapped Dick in the chest for his corniness, but had a big smiled plastered on her face anyways.
"Taboo."
"What?"
"The game."
"Oh… Monopoly."
"I am not the surprised."
"What? Why?"
"You seem to enjoy such games."
"Not sure if that's an insult."
"It is." Dick glared at her and she giggled loudly. Dick threw his hands around her, wiggling his fingers at her sides. Kori let out a loud yelp and squirmed awkwardly.
"Oh. So you're ticklish are you?" Dick teased with a huge smirk on his face.
"No! Please! Do not do such!" Kori begged, attempting to break from his grasp.
"Nope!"
"Please! *hiccup* Please!" Dick, feeling pity, stopped and slid his arms around her tiny frame, wrapping her in a tight hug. Kori's breathing started to slow down, becoming regular.
"Alright, Sweetheart." Dick muttered lazily, breathing in her scent. It was a sweet perfume for Dick. It smelled of strawberries and was like catnip for a cat for him.
"Thank you, Richard." Kori replied breathlessly.
"Anything for you, Baby. Wanna continue?" Dick asked. Kori nodded.
"A Walk to Remember."
"Ah. Very chick flick-y. Batman and Robin."
"Oh! From the 1990s?"
"Yup."
"I do enjoy Chris O'Donnell."
"Hey. You're mine."
"Yes. I am aware."
"So, what's your favorite… book?"
"The Truth about Forever written by Sarah Dessen."
"Oh. What's it about?"
"It is about a girl names Macy whose father passed away when she was younger. She is unable to fully overcome the pain of his death and uses her studies to ignore the feelings. Her mother does the same with her work. However, she has a change in her life with her friend who is a boy leaving for the summer as well as having a new job."
"Sounds pretty realistic."
"Yes. She meets new friends and must fight her past."
"Doesn't seem like a story I'd read, though."
"I do not believe the feminine novels would be ones you would take likings to."
"Yeah. I like mystery and detective stories, you know? Try to guess the ending and discover who the killer was. Lots of fun. Why do you like that book?"
"It had changed my life."
"Changed your life? How?" Dick asked. "Star?"
Dick propped himself up to get a better view of her but found her figure still. Her breathing was stable and she laid on the hood of his car calmly. He heard her let out soft snores. This made Dick smile.
"She's so cute when she does that." Dick muttered to himself, stroking her hair and brushing the loose strands out of her face. He continued to stare at her, watching her sleeping was, a little, creepy, but Dick found it nice to just to stare at her face when it was peaceful. Don't get him wrong. He loved the way her face was full of emotions throughout the day. Her whole face showed if she was happy, sad, mad, confused, everything. But, with all the emotions she showed throughout the day, it made him appreciate it when it was peaceful. It always made his stomach warm, looking at her.
He didn't know why. But he couldn't help but smile more when he was around her. She was so different from everyone he had known. But that made him attracted to her more. Out of all the girls he had dated, he never felt this way, even with Babs, his first relationship. She was definitely someone that meant more to him than he expected. But that didn't' scare him.
Dick slid off the car slowly, not wanting to wake her. He then scooped her in his arms, pulling her close. He began to walk back to Bee's house.
'It had changed my life.' Kori's voice rung in his mind. He wondered why, but decided not to bother her about it. There was something more important that he realized.
'You changed mine.' Dick thought.
