Amber and Jade spent the rest of their morning at work. Jade admitted that Dick had asked her to the fundraiser tonight too. Jade had planned a huge shopping trip to purchase new cocktail dresses for the event as soon as they left work. They were doing their last rounds through the enterprise building. Amber listened to her secretary drone on about her schedule for the rest of the week, and where the projects were currently sitting. She sighed as she checked her watch. "It's time for me to meet up with Jade, please keep this short. I really must be leaving." Her assistant, now flustered, rushed through the last bits of what she needed. Amber nodded as she took it all in. "Thanks Cyndal. That will be all for today. Please enjoy the rest of your evening." Cyndal nodded as she turned on her heel and left.
By the time Amber reached the car she had a slight headache. She found Jade already impatiently waiting. She sighed as she slid into the back seat of the car. "So, what color are you thinking about for tonight? I'm thinking either Champagne or Ivory. For myself that is." Jade continued to babble on as they made their way to the shopping district in Gotham. They searched through about three stores before Jade was satisfied with the nice little champagne cocktail dress. Amber was having a bit more trouble with her choice. She didn't want to go with black again, nor the icy blue of her first dress Bruce saw her in. She was looking at all the different dresses through the last of the best stores. She was getting tired of searching when a dress finally caught her eye. She purchased it immediately and went back to the car where Jade welcomed her with iced coffee. "Ta-da." She giggled as she handed Amber the caramel latte. "Sister you know me so well."
"Well…duh." Jade giggled as she slid into the car with her own drink. They drove back to the house as they gushed over their purchases. Their shoes and accessories picked out by the time they returned home. They still had a few hours before they would be meeting up with the boys. They spent this time looking through the files they kept on their computer. They were wondering what Joker was taking from the other villains. If they could figure that out they could figure out what Joker's plan was. They sat in frustration. Maybe they should swing by in their uniforms to interrogate the vandalized villains. They glanced to the clock, how had two hours passed by why they searched through files? They had to get ready for the charity event.
This time they had agreed to meet at the event, instead of the boys picking them up once more. Bruce and Dick arrived right on time, as would be custom of the charity organizer. The women who were entering the building all stopped to ask where the men's dates were. Dick insisted they would be there, but Bruce would just smile and ask the woman to enjoy there selves. Bruce grew weary of waiting by the door and went to find a drink. Dick joined him, grabbing a glass of wine from the nearest waiter that walked by. They were a little worried when it was almost half an hour after the doors opened and the Rose girls were still nowhere to be found. Dick was about to head outside to make a phone call when his gaze moved to the door. His mouth dropped when he saw Jade in the most demurely sexy cocktail dress. It hugged her figure, with a sweetheart neckline showing a good bit of cleavage and long leg. Dick stayed where he was, mouth agape as she made her way over to him.
Bruce had a coy smile on his face when Amber walked in. She wore a dress that looked the same shade of an amethyst gem. It made her eyes glitter with their unnatural iciness. Bruce couldn't stop smiling at her as she strode in confident steps towards him. "Bruce. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." Her words were slightly apologetic but her eyes held a flirty playfulness that said she wasn't sorry at all. "I had the lovely opportunity to greet all the guests here personally. I fear that would have been impossible with you next to me."
Amber giggled as she slid her arm into his awaiting one. "Well then, I'll have to be late more often. I don't want to hog you Bruce." Bruce caught her lips in a chaste kiss. "I said it was nice this time. I didn't mean I enjoyed not having you by my side." She responded to his words with a blush. His compliments caused her pleasure as well as slight embarrassment. This was, after all, THE Bruce Wayne. He was a notorious playboy, not a well-known romantic. He turned and handed her the drink he was currently holding, just a simple red wine. She took a long sip to calm her nerves before she handed the glass back. However, Bruce shook his head; he had already picked up his own glass. He raised it to hers and smirked as they toasted each other.
The party was soon beginning, a lovely dinner would be served in the main hall and dancing would be held in the ballroom. The main event, a bachelorette auction was the last event of the evening. The proceeds would go to 'Wayne's Home for the Children of Gotham'. The evening would thus end promptly after the auction ceased.
Commissioner Gordon and his daughter Barbara walked up to greet Bruce. "Hello Barbara, my you're getting lovely." He beamed at the woman, a woman who he had seen grow through the years. Barbara 'Babs' Gordon curtsied to him. "Hello Mr. Wayne. I'm one of the bachelorette's available through the auction. I think it a wonderful idea to raise money for the orphanage, and am happy I could participate tonight." Commissioner Gordon looked a bit shocked at his daughter's words. From the look on his face, Bruce assumed this was the first time he heard of Babs' joining. "Excuse us, if you would." Commissioner Gordon spoke in a tight clipped voice as he pulled Barbara away. "No problem Jim." Bruce need not bother, Commissioner Gordon was already gone.
"Did you not know who would be in the auction?" Amber asked as she watched the red head's retreating back. "No. Unfortunately, I am the host of the charity, not the organizer. The pleasure of meeting the bachelorettes for auction was not mine." Amber's eyes sparkled mischievously at Bruce's response. Little did he know, the bachelorettes would be wearing masks while on stage, and their names will not be announced until the final bid is placed. Amber knew, because she and Jade were both in the auction.
