Saturday Artemis's apartment 1:00 p.m.

Dick Grayson

It wasn't my fault that Babs and Bette were in their underwear when I climbed through Artemis's window. The gray eyed girl looked at me as if she had been expecting me and only threw a pillow at my face. I took the following maiming as a sign of acceptance from the girls.

"I come in peace I swear!" I said when Babs turned the hot curler towards me.

"Dick, close your eyes and wait for us to get dressed." Artemis said even though she was wearing pajamas and not as indecent as the other two. In retrospect I was here half because I couldn't stay in the Manor anymore, not with Jason asking questions about suits and Bruce giving him the talk. I mean Jason seemed more mature than me and I was the older one so he didn't need the talk. The other half was because I wished to let go of whatever feelings I had for Arty.

I didn't want them now, and I didn't want her to feel compromised with them. I only told Wally I would ask her out to push him into asking her. I didn't count on Bette and Babs being here though.

"Okay Dick, there better be a good reason for barging into my apartment like this." Artemis said once the three had changed into towel robes.

"You know, just chilling. I wanted to visit a friend that's all." I said not sure how to say I think I have a crush on you but I hate myself for it because it made Wally act like an asshole and now I also feel peeved because I saw two of my friends almost naked and I'm feeling weird. Yup. That would have to wait.

I took my phone out and started scrolling through my apps. Maybe if I pretended I was just being weird they would finish up and simply ignore me like always. They kept glaring at me so I guess that wouldn't work.

"Dick, you do realize today is prom and you should be I don't know buying a corsage for your date or getting ready or something." Babs said already bored with my presence.

"Ok, you got me. I have a backup date but not the girl I wanted to ask." Immediately after I said that Artemis tensed and clumsily stumbled on the bed. That was weird. If anyone would react that way I thought it would be Bette.

"Well we all have a date already." Bette said blowing on her nails to dry them

"I expect that from you Bette but 'Mis tomboy too?" I said looking at Artemis and surprised to hear the news. She was acting pretty suspicious I have to say. I had to warn Wally about it.

"It's just this guy…." Artemis tried but her voice was nervous and out of breath.

"Kyle Rayner, junior at Keystone High. You don't know him." Bette cut her off. Oh Bette you spoke too soon. She didn't seem as annoyed with my presence as before though and I took that chance to investigate.

If anything I have detective skills. I could know anyone's life if I wanted to. It took about a second and I already decoded all of his accounts. Nice tumblr he had, and the realization that the dude was probably the perfect bro material unnerved me. I freaking hated the fact that I loved this guy.

"You stalked him didn't you?" Artemis asked after I started using my phone for five minutes in complete silence.

I pursed my lips not sure if it was right to show her all that I found. She smiled at me after I didn't answer and took a chair to sit beside me. He had a funny vine account and posted weird geeky science facts on facebook. Artemis started laughing with me when I showed her the pictures where he did stupid things like act for a school play or paint grafitti on the streets.

"He is adorable." She finished after laughing at a picture of him with a marker mustache on his face.

"Hey I'm adorable." I pouted, wanting to at least keep playing the little brother thing.

"Yeah you're my number one adorable." Artemis laughed again and ruffled my hair, I felt just like a puppy being petted in consolation for being defeated by a boyfriend.

"Yes Dick, you are cute, we know it, the world knows it, and you post pics of your cute cow eyes all the time so stop. Now give us the girl back, we have to make her girly." Bette said finally looking at us and pulling Artemis by the arm. Babs started blindfolding me with a pillowcase and all I heard were Artemis's complains about not wanting to use the 'curling thingie'. I hope they realize doing this only made my imagination go wild, I mean if they had thrown me out I would have obeyed.

When they took the blindfold off Bette was wearing an electric blue dress that did not cover her shoulders or legs. She looked like she was supposed to, a prom queen. Babs was wearing a long white dress that looked amazing with her red hair styled in a bun. She looked like a 1920's doll girl.

"What do you think?" Babs asked twirling around for me to look. Bette kept her hands in her hips and I wasn't sure if she wanted my opinion as well.

"I hope you realize I won't say you look hot, because I'm being treated like the gay friend." I said in resentment. They cooed probably not realizing I was joking and deciding that hugging me at the same time would solve it all. It did though because they both smelled delicious and they kept holding tighter.

I didn't even care if I couldn't breathe because the feeling of breasts on the face was worth it. All this struggling made me forget that I had to text Wally.

"So where's Arty?" I asked keeping my head bent towards my phone.

"I'm regretting everything already." Artemis sounded very regretful alright. It couldn't be that bad. With her body anything could look hot on her, and I always wanted to know how she would look in a dress since she always wore pants. When I lifted my eyes she was right in front of me bunching up the transparent red skirt of her dress. Her hair was down and looked longer since she ironed it; one half was braided, leaving her bangs out. The dress was heart cut with white lace that hugged her breasts nicely.

"I was worried it would be too short for you but look at that it drags on the floor." Bette said while I was still trying to say something to make Artemis blush even more.
"Heels. Got it." Babs said clicking her fingers and bending under the bed to find the shoes.

They were going at it again with the makeup bags and shoes when Paula Crock entered the room.

"Artemis a friend came to visit." She said looking unimpressed at the mess on the floor.

"Oh hello Richard, how are you?" She asked probably surprised to see me. I don't think she was alarmed because well, I'm harmless and charming and every mother loved me. I started to chat her up until Wally decided to appear behind her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting dear, I'm sure you can go in." She said smiling politely to him.

"Leave him in my care." I said earning a laugh from her part. Wally raised an eyebrow and playfully punched me. What can I say; he knows I can't help it.


Wally

Artemis's Apartment 19:30 p.m.

Maybe if Dick hadn't texted me: Artemis has a boyfriend, plan is ruined, come here ASAP in Morse code I would have avoided the shame that followed. Dick was used to the beauties but I, on the other hand, was left like the awkward geek that couldn't utter a complete phrase when I got there. They all looked amazing and I was getting sweaty just by being with all of them in the same room.

Artemis specially couldn't stand beside me because I went as red as her dress and in turn she went red probably with disgust. To top it her date was supposed to be Kyle, my one friend at Keystone. That could hurt more if Dick didn't like her as well. I sat beside him on Artemis's bed where we waited for the girls to retouch their makeup at the bathroom. I looked at a weird Alice in Wonderland poster and the unused bed for her sister. Why still keep the bed though?

"Ok did you bring the stuff?" Dick whispered while I was distracting myself by staring at the wall.

"Yeah it's in the bag." I said not really paying attention to him.

"Let's dress up then." He said and I had to look at him this time because he was already bare chest beside me.
"Dude, there are girls here!" I said not sure why I was embarrassed. (Maybe it was because I was in Artemis's room or because Dick looked more confident about getting naked in front of girls.)

"Relax, hurry up and get in." He said pulling the dress pants so that I could put them on. Well I might as well use super speed.

Dick looked at me upset when I was ready and said "We were supposed to get naked together."

"You just wish you had my powers." I smirked cockily.

I was fixing the wrists' cuffs on my shirt when Artemis and Barbara came out. Babs raised an eyebrow when she looked at me then smirked appreciatively.

"You look tight in that suit." She said winking and making my ears burn.

"Uh" Was the only sound I could make. Great, now my brain has to reload.

Dick was fixing his tie when the doorbell at the apartment rang. Artemis's mom was yelling something about two guys out there waiting and I was already dreading everything. I mean what in the world were we doing here? I didn't want to watch Artemis leave with her date. What was Dick's plan?

Artemis sighed and locked her arm with Barbara's.

"I guess you guys should go to your dates now." Artemis said smiling at me and all I wanted to do was smudge the red off her lips and make her not go with Kyle. I didn't want to think about how he would be the one kissing her tonight.

"That's where you are wrong dear 'Mis."Dick said putting his arm around my shoulders. "I have my date right here." He said looking at me. Of course, that's his plan. Note to self: Never trust Robin.
