Hey guys! I'm back! I wanna keep all the comic geeks from getting specific on me. In this fanfic Dick is only 3 years younger than Barbara. And for everyone else, ENJOY!
RICHARD POV
Everyone except the girls are downstairs in the foyer. The paparazzi is inside the mansion recording and outside the window as we can hear the clicks of cameras and people asking questions. Me Bruce and Tim are wearing tuxedos and they bug me and Tim but not Bruce. Right now I am talking to Bruce. He has been rambling on and on about how much marriage changes lives, and how I might need to wait a little while.
"Bruce!" I whisper stopping him. "Quiet down! I want this to be a surprise! I have waited years to do what I am about to do and I would appreciate if you would just except this!"
"I do accept this. I just think you should try and wait a year more or maybe even two!"
"Bruce! I am 19 now and I can make my own… are you even listening to me!" I whisper getting irritated when he just stops and starts looking behind me with his mouth opened.
I look beside me to see Diana and Alfred doing the same. Even the cameras have stopped taking pictures for a few seconds. I decide to look behind me and see the girls making a grand entrance down the staircase. I don't notice anyone but Star after that. She just looks so beautiful. She has her holo-ring on and is wearing a new blue dress that I haven't seen yet. It's beautiful on her. When she blushes she's so cute. I just keep staring with my mouth hanging like Bruce's. When they finally make their way down, I just keep staring. She sees me and blushes even more. I start to blush to realizing what I was doing.
Alfred snaps out of the trance first and says, "Ok. Seems like everyone's here now that Miss Gordon, Miss Cassie, and Miss Kori is here. You all take a seat and I'll fetch the food."
I walk over and steal Kori away from the girls and lead her to her seat. "You look beautiful." I whisper in her ear as she sits down.
I sit down next to her and she whispers "Thank you. I could tell by your staring that you thought I was doing the looking good." She starts giggling and I smile dumbly. I kiss her on the cheek before she can see me though.
Alfred brings out the food and we start eating and everyone starts to talk.
Bruce taps his spoon to his glass and everyone looks his way. "I am all glad you could make it today. I am hosting this party for the return of my son, Dick and his girlfriend Kori."
People start to clap and me and Kori blush. "Thank you Bruce. But I would like to make another announcement." The room gets so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I sigh 'Well, here goes nothing.' I scoot my chair back and stand up. I turn toward her and say "All of you know, this is Kori Anders, my girlfriend. Well I love her with all my heart and would like to ask her a question."
STARFIRE POV
I turn my chair towards Richard as he gives his speech.
He turns toward me and sighs "All of you know, this is Kori Anders, my girlfriend. Well I love her with all my heart and would like to ask her a question."
'Why would he want everyone to know he was asking me a question?' I think.
"Kori Anders, I have loved you ever since I laid eyes on you. I hope that we will be together forever." He gets down on one knee and gets a little black box out of his tuxedo jacket. "Kori. Will you marry me?" He says opening the box the reveal a shiny ring. It has diamonds all around the top and encircling an lime green emerald. The room gets dead silent except for the sound of cameras.
A tear rolls down from my eye. "Yes, Richard I will marry you." I say and as I do people cheer and clap. I can hear Barbara and Cassie hug each other and say "Awwwww."
Richard releases me and slips the ring on my finger. I kiss him then out of nowhere, the back window breaks and a figure flies in. Panic emerges and the paparazzi scrabbles, dropping cameras and running out of the mansion and towards the gate. I look up and notice the figure.
"Red X"
Ohhhh. Happy ending to the chapter? Yep that's not how I roll. Haha
So? Like it? Love it?
I don't care just read and review!
