Day – 350
"So why'd you decide to be Robin?"
"To bring the guy that murdered my parents to justice."
"Oh."
"How about you, Batgirl?"
.
Day 464
"So Dick and Barbara are friends?"
"Yep."
"But Robin kissed Barbara last night?"
"Yep."
"And Barbara still doesn't know that she broke up with Dick because she liked Robin when really, you two are the same person?"
"Yep."
"And now, technically, even though you two never talked about it, Robin and her are a thing?"
"Yes, Wally."
"Dude."
.
Day 466
"This semester-long project will not only be forty-five percent of your final grade, which might I remind you, is very important due to –"
"Oh, God… this is the most boring class ever… Dick? Dick? Wake up! Honestly, did you get any sleep last night?"
" – and your partners will be assigned by me. In alphabetical order…"
.
"Gordon, Barbara and Grayson, Richard!"
.
Day 469
"Uh, Babs?"
"Yes, Dick?"
"Not to make this conversation awkward, but when we were dating… I had asked you to be my plus one for Oliver Queen's wedding."
"And…"
"Well Dinah was wondering if you're still my plus one and I have to have an answer right away cause she said if another person messes up with her seating plan, she's going to scream at them and well, she has a tendency to make people deaf and I kind of like my hearing, so…"
"I think the question is, do you want me there as your plus one?"
"Well, yeah, of course I do. I just wasn't sure, if um… you wanted to."
"…Tell her I'll have the salmon instead of the steak."
.
Day 470
"I don't care if you're older; I'm going on patrol tonight!"
"Shut it, Jason. I'm going."
"You just want to see your girlfriend!"
.
Day 471
"Happy birthday, Oracle!"
"Wow, thanks, Robin…but how did you know it was my birthday?"
"I hacked into some government files, no big deal."
.
"Is this…"
"Yep, it's a poster of Batman. He took my first two cameras away, but didn't realize I had a third hidden camera and I was able to produce this."
"Thank you, Robin! I love it!"
.
Day 472
"Oracle."
"Oh, my God!"
"Whoa, whoa. It's me! No need to start violence. Nice punch though…"
"You scared me, Robin!"
.
"I lost track of time and my dad's busy at work, so I decided to walk home from the library today."
"Would you mind it if I walked you home then? It's dangerous at this time of the night."
.
"Thanks, Robin."
"Anytime… Oracle."
.
"I'm home! Barb?"
"Yes, daddy?"
"Were you just talking to someone? I thought I heard voices… Why is your face so red?"
.
Day 473
"Give me your purse, lady!"
"Hey, let her go!"
.
"Oracle, promise me next time you'll wait for me and Bats – or call the cops – instead of trying to take down a criminal."
"Robin, it was just an ordinary thief. Honestly, with my black belt in karate, I could've taken him down."
"…"
"Fine. I'll call the cops next time."
.
Day 477
"Robin?"
"You must be Robin's distraction."
"Oh…hi. I'm Barbara. You must be Batman's new sidekick."
"Partner. And the other Robin is going to be busy for a while with some alien princess he just met – she's really pretty."
.
"Robin…"
"Come on, Batman! Even A. says the other Robin's love life is more complicated than yours! Once Barbie thinks it's over between her and him, she'll go back to D –"
"It's never that easy with women, Robin."
.
Day 478
"Hi, Artemis!"
"Hey, Barbara. Doing some shopping too? Oh, this is Zatanna – she's visiting me in Gotham for a few days. Zatanna, this is Barbara."
"You're Zatanna?"
"Uh, yes…"
.
Day 479
"Er… something wrong Babs? You haven't touched your lunch."
"Urgh. Boys."
"…Did I do something wrong?"
.
Day 480
"So… A little birdy told me you spent all week with an alien princess."
"Oh he told you that, did he? Yeah, Kory was just visiting Earth for a bit."
"Uh-huh…"
"You're not jealous are you, Oracle?"
"…"
.
Day 482
"Hey, Babs. Wanna hang out?"
"Not today, Dick. I'm going out with Artemis and Zatanna."
"Artemis and…Zatanna?"
"Yep. I met her a few days ago shopping with Artemis and we became really good friends – by the way, are you sure she's the girl you kissed on New Year's because she doesn't seem to know you."
"Er…"
.
Day 488
"When were these photos taken, Dick?"
"Your 13th birthday party."
"And this?"
"First camping trip."
"And this was our first sleepover right?...And we're back to the creepy smile."
.
Day 490
"It's been decided that our search for the missing Roy Harper, also known as Speedy, has come to an end. We unfortunately have come to a conclusion that The Light has disposed of the body, which we assume to be deceased."
.
Day 493
"Dick, how come Roy isn't here with Queen?"
"They're not really on speaking terms with one another now…"
.
Day 495
"So do you want to come to my place or yours for this project?"
"Yours, of course. I've been craving Alfred's cookies for who knows how long."
.
"Do we have company, Alfred?"
"Mistress Barbara is here to work on a project with Master Dick."
"That doesn't sound like work."
"No, it doesn't, but we both know we need a bit of laughter in this manor."
.
Day 496
"Oracle, go back into your house. It's not safe tonight – Joker's on the loose."
"Robin, I can take care of myse –"
"NOW, Barbara!"
.
Day 500
"Just five more firewalls left on this stupid phone. Why did I put so much security on this old thing?"
.
Day 501
"Barbara, wanna come hang out with me and Artemis today after school?"
"Can't, sorry, Bette. I have… some things to do."
.
"If I cross this wire… over to that next wire, then it should explode on contact when I throw it…"
.
Day 503
"Rob, have you talked to Red Arrow lately?"
"No, I haven't. He's been avoiding us trying to find Speedy."
.
Day 504
"Barbara?"
"In here, daddy."
"What are you doing?"
"Just fixing up some things on my costume – Halloween is coming up."
.
Day 506
"Crock! No texting in class!"
.
"Artemis, are you okay? You looked really pale earlier…"
"Did Wally text you, Dick?"
"Yeah, but I haven't checked it yet…"
"Look at it now!"
.
"Wally saw a wedding ring…on Roy?"
"I can only think of one person he could be married to right now…"
"Hehe, looks like you and Roy are family now."
.
Day 507
"Robin?"
"It's the second Robin today. The other Robin's busy with the Arrows in Star City."
.
Day 508
"Hmm… if I shoot this hook from this distance at this angle…Darn, I wish I was good at math like Dick."
.
Day 509
"Hi, Babs, it's Dick. Where are you? You rarely leave my calls to voice message. Anyway, please tell me you're not going out for Halloween tonight – you know it's dangerous here in Gotham."
.
"Give me your purse or – what was that?"
.
"Che, a Batman wannabe, eh? Listen little lady, go home and play with your dolls or som – oof!"
.
"Here's your purse, miss."
"Wh-Who are you?"
"Just call me Batgirl."
.

A/N: Yay, a quick update. Since I'm done typing everything up (just have some major editing to do), I'll probably upload these every 3-5 days.
To clear things up, Barbara does not have her memories back. It's just a coincidence that she chose that identity again.
And as always, comments would be greatly appreciated.
