Kori spread out the blue towel she brought down with her on the white lounge chair. She and Dick decided to head down to the pool to meet with their friends after they unpacked and settled in. Kori had never been to a hotel before so she was really in awe when she saw the penthouse suit. It reminded her of a luxurious apartment.

"Hey Kori!" greeted Gar.

Kori smiled and crawled on the white lounge chair. "Hello Gar."

"How's it going?" he asked. He stood in front of her.

"Great. Yourself?" she asked.

Gar nodded. "I'm good."

"Well if it isn't the spiky haired son of a bitch," Kori heard Vic call out. She looked over at Wally and Vic and waved to them.

"You guys wanna go to the juice bar?" asked Wally.

"I'm in," said Gar walking over to them. "Do you think they have soy milkshakes?"

Dick who sat on the lounge next to Kori leaned towards her. "Want anything?" he asked.

Kori scrunched her mouth up. "Get me anything fruity."

Dick nodded and stood up to go with the guys.

Rachel took Dick's spot and sat facing towards Kori. She had on a one piece black swimsuit. "Hey."

"Hey," Kori said.

Rachel sighed. "Okay look, I don't normally do this so don't take it to another level."

Kori raised her eyebrows and waited for Rachel to continue.

"I'm not going to apologize for earlier cuz frankly, you guys deserved it but I'll apologize for being rude," Rachel continued. "I just don't want it awkward between the two of us."

Kori shook her head. "Me either. It's okay Rachel. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion."

Rachel gave her a faint smile. "So what are you getting out of this?"

"Money," said Kori. She leaned her head back. "I know it sounds greedy but I kind of need it."

"In all truth, I would have asked for the same thing," said Rachel.

Kori laughed and placed a hand over her mouth. "Are you enjoying this place?"

She shrugged and repositioned her body so that she laid back. "Eh, I come every year that I'm so used to this place."

"Hey Rachel!"

Kori looked up to see Roy and a dark haired girl coming their way.

Rachel stood up and hugged her friend. "Hey Don!"

"How's it going?" she asked.

"Good," said Rachel. She looked at Roy. "My pleasure Roy."

Roy grabbed her hand and kissed the top of it. "The pleasure is mine gorgeous."

Rachel removed her hand from his and made a face. "Thanks for grossing me out."

Roy rolled his eyes and looked at Kori. "Your still here?"

Kori narrowed her eyes at him. "A hello to you too."

Roy placed his hands out in defense. "Not being rude or anything but I thought you'd be long gone by now."

"Go away Roy," said Kori.

Roy cleared his throat and nervously laughed. "I'll just go find the guys then."

"They're at the bar," said Rachel.

Donna smiled and sat at Kori's feet. "I'm Donna. What's your name?"

Kori extended her hand Donna shook it. "Kori."

"Nice to meet you," said Donna. She stood up briefly before pulling her cover up off. She set it aside and allowed the girl's to view her red bikini with gold stars on it. She sat down and looked at Kori. "So you're dating Dick?"

Kori nodded. "Yup."

Donna laughed. "I remember those days."

"You dated Dick?" asked Kori surprised.

Donna laughed again. "If you consider dating in the fifth grade a real thing then I guess you can say that."

Kori chuckled. "Funny."

"We broke up because he hit me in the head during dodgeball in gym class," Donna pointed out. She looked up. "Hey speak of satan's spawn himself."

Dick raised an eyebrow under his black sunglasses. "Am I always the topic of choice?"

Donna rolled her eyes. "There's no sun in here. Why are you wearing sunglasses?"

"Because I can," he said. He shooed her away and Donna stuck her tongue out at him. He sat by Kori's feet carrying a glass in each hand. "Two afterglows," he said lifting the drinks up.

"Ooh an afterglow," said Donna. "Do you even know what that means?"

Dick narrowed his eyes at her. "Shut up."

Kori reached over and took a glass from him. She twirled the small umbrella before taking a sip. "Thank you."

Dick took a sip from his drink and watched as Donna stared him down. "What?" he asked.

Donna giggled and shook her head. "Nothing."

Dick rolled his eyes. "When did you get here?"

"Yesterday morning," said Donna. "I'm here with Roy."

Dick raised his eyebrows. "You two dating?"

"No," said Donna. "We're just here as friends."

Rachel snorted. "Yea just friends."

Donna placed a hand on her waist. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"No one is ever just friends with the opposite sex," said Rachel. "It doesn't work like that."

Donna narrowed her eyes at Rachel. "Says the one who used to deny feelings for Gar."

Rachel smiled. "Exactly my point. I may have denied my feelings but there was always something there." Rachel stood up and grabbed her book from her bag. "I'm going to read in the hot tub. Anyone care to annoy me?"

Kori chuckled and shook her head. "No thanks."

Rachel glanced at Dick and Kori and both shook their heads. "Better for me," she muttered.

Donna laid back on the empty lounge chair. "So you go to school with Dick?"

Kori nodded. "That's how we met."

Donna looked over Kori and raised an eyebrow. "Huh."

"What?" asked Kori.

Donna shrugged. "You don't seem like his type."

"My type?" asked Dick. "What would you know what my type is?"

Donna tapped her chin. "Babs." She tapped her chin again. "Although, you got the red hair part right." She looked at Kori. "No offense or anything."

"None taken," said Kori.

Dick grabbed Kori's feet and placed them on her lap. "Just so you happen to know, Kori and I are madly and deeply in love with one another."

Kori raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "We are?"

Dick glanced at her and nodded. "We are and I love her free, crazy, bad girl side." He wiggled his eyebrows.

Donna smirked. "I know. I can by the way you look at each other."

Kori looked at Donna and raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me?"

Donna giggled and stood up. "I'm going to find the guys and go for a swim."

Dick turned to Kori, still holding onto her legs.

"You love my free, crazy, bad girl side?" asked Kori.

Dick turned red and began running his hand up and down her leg. "Well you know I had to say that so she'd believe us."

Kori raised an eyebrow. "And you're caressing my legs because?"

Dick looked at what he was doing and pulled his hand back. He nervously chuckled. "Hehe sorry."

Kori smiled and shook her head. "You're cute when you're embarrassed."

Gar swam up to them and splashed them with water.

"Hey!" they yelled in union.

Gar laughed. "C'mon you lazy pokes. We're going to wrestle."

"Girls on top!" called Vic. He looked around. "Where's my bee?"

"I'm right here baby!" called Karen. She came through the door with Jen by her side.

Dick stood up, took his t-shirt off, and turned to Kori. "In the mood for playing?" he asked.

Kori nodded. "Sure."

Dick grabbed her hand and helped her up.

"Just let me take this off," she said already lifting the covering up dress over her.

Dick's eyes widened as he looked at her tiny bikini. "Humunna."

Kori giggled and teased by twirling. "You like?"

Dick looked at the white bikini. The top is a bandeau top which had a heart rhinestone in the middle. The bottom only held by single strings.

Kori grabbed his hand and pulled him to the pool. "Let's wrestle."

Dick raised his eyebrows and let his tongue fall out. "Okay." He picked up Kori over his shoulder and jumped into the pool.

Kori squealed in delight as they both hit the water. She swam to the top and ran her fingers through her hair. "You could have warned me!"

Dick swam away on his back. "No fun in that!"

Kori swam after him and managed to grab onto his foot. She pulled him forward.

Dick swam towards her and grinned. He turned his back to her. "Hang onto me."

Kori wrapped her legs around his stomach and held her arms around his neck. She giggled as he swam towards their friends.

"Alright you two love birds," said Vic with Karen resting around his shoulders. "Let the games begin."

Dick sunk underwater and placed his head between Kori's legs.

Kori squirmed at the feeling and held onto his head as he stood up in the shallow end. He stood next to Wally.

Gar swam pulling Rachel with him. "Just one game."

Rachel sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "This game is pointless." She held onto Gar's head as he brought her over his shoulder.

Vic cleared his throat. "Rules are simple. You get knocked down then your out. Dick and Kori vs. Gar and Rachel. Me and Bee vs. Wal and Jen. Winners go against one another then we have sudden death!"

Kori felt Dick's hands on her feet. He gave her a little tickle.

Kori's eyes widened and she giggled. "Don't you dare."

"Hey who are we supposed to go against?" asked Donna.

Vic place a hand on his chin. "Good point. Why don't you-hey!" Vic waved. "Babs! Why don't you join us?"

Dick watched as Babs walked over to the edge of the pool with a guy? Some guy he's never seen before. Who is this guy?

Babs waved. "Hey guys. What are you doing?"

"Wrestling," replied Wally.

"You guys should join us," said Donna.

Babs exchanged looks with 'the guy'. She nodded. "Sure."

Dick shook his head and sank lower in the water. He muttered something.

"What?" asked Kori. She tilted her head and looked down at him. "Are you okay?"

Dick stood up. "Peachy."

Kori felt around his face. "Isn't this what you wanted? For Babs to see us as a couple?"

Dick watched as Babs climbed around 'the guy's' shoulder. She seemed happy with him and it made Dick's blood boil with jealousy.

"Let's get ready to rumble!" exclaimed Vic.

Dick moved towards Gar and their hands pushed for each other.

Kori giggled as she held onto Rachel's hand.

"For Azar's sake do not let me fall Kori," she said looking down.

Kori giggled. "Are you afraid of heights?"

"More than death itself," said Rachel. She wobbled back. "Don't let me fall!"

Kori let out a laugh and pushed Rachel. "Consider this payback for this afternoon." Kori gave out another push.

Rachel fell back into the water and Gar swore. He crossed his arms and swam to his girlfriend. "We never get to win."

"Alright Kori!" exclaimed Dick. He made eye contact with Babs for a second.

Kori giggled and ran her fingers through his hair. "I try."

Dick swam over to wrestle Vic and Karen.

Kori laced her finger's with Karen's.

"Do me a favor and push me off," said Karen.

Kori raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that cheating?"

Karen lifted up a finger. "Jenny broke my nail. Now push me off so I could go drown her."

Kori gave her a light push and Karen dramatically fell into the water.

Vic turned to his girlfriend. "I know you did not just throw us the game!"

Karen pushed herself up and out of the pool. "Jenny get your tiny ass over here! Breaking my nail like it ain't shit!"

"You needed a manicure anyways!" teased Jenny.

Kori giggled and looked down at Dick. "Game over?"

Dick looked up. "I guess-

"Dick and Kor vs Babs and Sam!" called Roy.

Dick turned to them and looked at 'the guy' named Sam.

"We're still playing?" asked Kori.

Roy sat at the edge of the pool with his feet in the water and Donna standing in the pool in between them. "Yup."

Kori looked down at Dick and shrugged. She met eyes with Barbara. "Hi," she greeted.

Babs smiled. "Hi."

"Go!" yelled Roy.

Dick pushed himself through the water to tackle Sam.

"So you're Dick?" he asked.

Dick narrowed his eyes. "What's it to ya?"

Same chuckled. "Nothing. Babs talked about you. You're the childhood friend right?"

Dick stopped. "Childhood friend?" He stepped back.

Sam nodded. "Yea."

"Well did she tell you that we dated?" asked Dick.

Sam gave him a confused look. "Actually she didn't."

"Well we did," said Dick angrily. "And we broke up not that long ago. Try not to think of yourself as a rebound guy."

"Dick I'm wobbling!" called Kori. She wobbled back and forth.

Babs reached forward and grabbed her to still the wobbling.

"Thanks," said Kori. She wobbled again and Babs held onto her tighter.

"Look I'd really like to talk to you," said Babs.

Kori looked at her. "What?"

Babs sighed. "There's something I need to say. I'd rather do it when we're alone."

"What do you want to talk about?" she asked.

Babs looked towards Dick before looking back at Kori. "Are you free tomorrow?"

Kori raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure. Why don't I just give you a text?"

"Do you have my number?" asked Babs.

Kori held onto Dick's head. "I'll just steal it from Dick."

Babs nodded.

Kori removed her legs from Dick's shoulder and crawled down. She fell into the water and surfaced moments later. She looked at Dick who was making his way towards the steps.

Kori sighed and swam after him. "Dick wait up!"

Dick walked over to their lounge chairs and grabbed Kori's back. He handed her a towel and her bag. "Let's go to the room."

Kori nodded, wiping her wet face, and wrapped the towel around her. She followed Dick out.

Dick threw the towel around his neck across the bedroom.

Kori raised her eyebrows and placed her beach bag near the dresser. She walked over to the bed to take her empty suitcase off of it. "What's gotten you so mad?" asked Kori. She made her way into the closet to place the suitcase inside.

Dick sighed and sat on the bed. "She has a boyfriend."

Kori came out moments later. "So what?"

"What do you mean so what?" asked Dick.

Kori shook her head and placed a hand on her waist. "You're getting jealous aren't you?"

Dick chuckled. "No."

Kori rolled her eyes and sighed. "You know what? I'm going to take a bath." She made her way into their bathroom.

Dick groaned and fell back on the bed.
