Yup, Chapter 9 I think. Someone makes a very special appearance in this chapter…..
"This"= thoughts
"Hey, um can I have a little help please?" Kateline asked. She lugged in two huge red coolers filled to the brim with sandwiches for Wally and Odd, and Aelita carried the other sandwiches for the rest of them, and the cooler with the sodas. "Ow my arms. So what'd I miss?" Artemis was about to answer when she heard a phone ring. "I'll get it." She said. She checked her phone only to see that it actually wasn't hers. "Whoops, jk not mine. I need to change my ringtone." She stated. "Yeah. It's mine. Hello?" Victoria clarified.
"Hey to you too. Hold on let me put you on speaker I have someone here you would probably like to say hi to…..you'll find out soon enough."She said playfully. Artemis gave her a confused look, it seemed that whoever was on the phone, she really liked messing with, which didn't really help narrow anything down since she liked messing with every person she knew. "Who is it?" she mouthed. Victoria just smiled which really annoyed Artemis; she made it known by giving her a tiny glare.
"Ok Cammie, you can talk now." She said trying not to laugh at Artemis' WHAT face. "Dude, don't call me Cammie! It sounds like a girl's name." Cameron complained. "Wow. You really haven't changed at all…. That I know of."Artemis said. "Wait a minute I know that voice, is it who I think it is?" He asked "That all depends; who do you think it is that's talking right now?" Artemis asked rolling her eyes. "Artemis? Hey, long time no speak! How've you been? Anything new to report in your life?" He asked all at once. "Well, yes it's me, hey to you too, I've been good, and too much to tell you over the phone. What about you?" She answered. "Well, I'm out of Belle Rev for good behavior, out of the Shadows completely now, and now I'm at my mom's apartment in Gotham celebrating." "Really? Awesome! And you're still alive, bonus. We need to talk when we get back ok?"Artemis promised. "Definitely. I'm glad I left, leaving was pretty uneventful though. Unless you count dad saying that I was a disgrace and he was embarrassed to have me for a son. So I just told him 'go fuck yourself old man' and left. Man you should have seen the looks on everyone's faces. It was absolutely priceless." He said. "Cameron! Don't use that kind of language! Even if it was to that scumbag who deserved it." A woman in the background said. "Sorry Ms. Crock. Yeah your mom is visiting my mom." "Awwwww man! I seriously would have loved to be there to see you finally tell him off. I bet it was hilarious. And tell mommy me and Jade said hi." Artemis said.
"You know, Vicki told us about what you did to her on April Fools' Day. Why did you do that?" She asked smirking because she knew that she made him nervous. "Because it was April Fools' Day and I didn't have anything else." He responded coolly. Then again maybe she didn't make him nervous after all. "Wow man really, like seriously? You scared me half to death!" Victoria said exasperated. "Sorry Vicki. If it helps, I felt absolutely horrible afterwards. Oh, what did you say though before you hung up? I didn't quite catch it." He apologized. "I said that you were the biggest dick in the world and that I hated you for saying that." "Fair enough. I gotta go. Get back as soon as you can alright?" he said. "Given. Bye." Artemis said, and he hung up.
"Must you two flirt with each other every time you two talk?" Kateline teased. "I don't flirt with him anymore." She stated matter-of-factly. "Anyway, you missed us remembering when Yumi, Victoria and I got drunk at a party, and then you missed Jake texting Victoria asking her to go back out with him, and basically telling her that he's still in love with her." Artemis filled in. "Really, now he's asking her back out? Dude he had like, a whole freaking year to say that and he chooses now to do this? What the hell is wrong with guys and doing this kind of thing?" She asked now turning to the guys who in turn instinctively took a step back. "We'd apologize for the guys in the world if we knew what the 'thing' was." Wally said. "The 'thing' is going out with us, making us believe that you actually like us, then just rip our hearts out and stomp on them when you break up with us, and then come crawling back just as we are about to forget you; and at the most random time I might add, expecting us to give you another chance!" She ranted. "Um, sorry?" Odd offered. "Oh, it's too late for sorry mister!" She spat still in the moment.
"Katie, slap out of it!" Jeremy said going up to her and giving her a light smack across the cheek. "Now, I am sincerely sorry for slapping you but I didn't know any other way." He said firmly. "No, its okay I really needed that slap." She apologized. "I'll say." Yumi agreed. Kateline glared at her. "Hey you're the one who said it not me." She pointed out. "I don't like you right now." Kateline mumbled. "Love you too dear." She said a bit sarcastically.
"Ok, then. Let's eat. I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving." Odd said. "Odd you're always hungry. Oh, and I am saying this because I know you Odd and Wally, no eating contests!" Artemis commanded. "Fine." They pouted.
As they ate, Robin started looking for the thieves that ripped them off. But it got interrupted by a call from Batman. "I got the clear from their parents that they can come to the cave." Batman said getting straight to the point. "That was fast." Kateline commented. "They were easily persuaded." He answered."OK, that's fair." And with that the conversation ended.
"Do you think we should pack?"Victoria asked. "Let's do that after we eat."Zatanna suggested.
After they finished eating, they went to their rooms, and started packing. "Aren't you going to pack anymore clothes Vicki?" Megan asked, seeing how she only packed a couple of week's worth of clothes. "Nah, usually I borrow Art's clothes whenever I'm going to visit her." She explained. "It's true. She wears my clothes like 95% of the time." She agreed. "Really? How come we don't do that?" She asked Artemis. "Well, I thought that we weren't really the same size, but when we get back, we can definitely do that, and maybe have a slumber party in your room." She assured. "Really? Ok!" Megan and Victoria replied excitedly. "Oh my god. I have 2 Megan's for best friends." Artemis thought. "So what did you say to Jake?" She asked. "Well, I…um…said..." she wanted to milk this a little longer so she took her time in answering. But she stopped once she received a patented Artemis glare (Which she thinks is sometimes a little scarier than the Batman glare). "Ok, ok, I said that I was sorry but I just couldn't because he hurt me too much." She answered. Just after she said that, her phone dinged saying that she had a text message, and the guys came in seeing if they were ready. "Oh my god." Victoria said her voice quivering. "What? What happened?" Wally asked very concerned for one of his new best friends. Since she was too busy hysterically crying she just gave him her phone. Once he read what Jake texted her, he started seeing red. "Wally, what's the problem?" Kaldur said hugging Victoria trying to comfort her. "Well, after she texted her answer to Jake which was no thank god, he texted her back – do you want me to read what it says?"He asked warily. She nodded so he continued. "He said I never hurt you. I treated you like a queen and you treated me like shit you bi-polar bitch. Do you want to know the real reason why I cheated on you? It was because you are a worthless, fat, short, hormonal, stretch-marked, stupid slut and I hate you. I wish I had never met you because that was the worst day of my life. The only reason I agreed to go out with you was because I felt pity for you. Do me a favor and delete my number from your phone.'" He finished growling at the phone with Jack who came in when he heard the crying. Kaldur held Victoria closer to him who cried harder, Megan looked horrified, and everyone else looked pissed off. "Who does he think he is? How dare he say those things to her!" Jade seethed. "Victoria, how are you?" Kaldur asked her gently. She responded by hiding her face in his chest. He was kind of glad that she didn't let go, because he wanted to hold on to her until she deemed herself completely better and over the monster. "Don't listen to him ok? You are way better than what he deserves. You're nothing like what he says. You're too sweet and nice and beautiful to be anything of what he says." Kaldur comforted. "I second that!" everyone agreed, loving how you can tell that the both of them were redder than Wally's head when he called her beautiful. She sniffled and pulled away from Kaldur a bit to turn so her back was against his chest, and his arms were wrapped around her waist. "Thanks guys. I-I feel better now." she said. "Ok, so you won't mind when I do this?" Artemis asked taking a picture of the two before the window closed and she would have to wait god knows how long for the next one to come along. "Hey! I would've rather take the picture when I'm not flushed and puffy eyed from crying." She said and everyone laughed.
Soooooo how did I do? I wanted to push myself closer to Kaldur sooner, and I thought that that was a pretty good way of doing it. Please, I want more reviews so please don't favorite or follow without commenting. I don't care how long it actually is. Love you guys! You're absolutely amazing and gorgeous! Until next time! And please be careful of what you write when you're mad at someone. Other people may not always be there to comfort them, and may easily believe your words. It might turn into something very tragic.
