Superboy dropped his controller in frustration.

Both 'villains' relaxed in front of a huge TV and playing peacefully with an Xbox. They were surrounded by diverse candy wrappers, a couple of ice cream boxes, a half eaten pizza and all kinds of sweets in general.

"How are you doing that? My power bar was full and even my special abilities were on!" Superboy asked frustrated. His character was dying over and over again.

"Well," Mustache Robin started, "If you press-"

"Never mind!"

He stopped the Boy Wonder before his explanation could get out of control. As always.

It wasn't that he didn't like Robin talking or anything. No, quiet the contrary was the case. What was unnerving to Conner was the fact that, most of the time, he just didn't understand what Robin was taking about. And strangely, everything the little bird had ever explained to him ended with an ominous thing called quantum mechanics. They just seemed to be everywhere! Robin never seemed to mind the lack of understanding though. He was probably used to it.

"This is no fun." Superboy grumbled, while he popped another piece of stolen candy into his mouth. According to Robin, the first rule about being a good villain implies to steal candy. Conner didn't really get why exactly that was so important, but he didn't complain. It was already noon and both of them were hungry, so they raid the team's candy reserves without mercy.

"Your right, kicking your butt with my superior skills is boring." The mini bat giggled like a hyper little ninja he was.

Superboy grimaced. Mustache Robin was acting kind of weird- no weirder by now.

The clone of Superman definitely hadn't collect enough information on human nature to understand the true meaning of a sugar high, yet. How could the G-noms conceal such things? They had to have a really bad sense of humor.

Robin tossed two spray bottles at Conner's head.

"Think fast!"

"What?"

"Hihihih, to slooooow."

The mini Bat stuck his tongue out and jumped from the couch, did 3 flips in a row and landed on his left hand.

"Lets go and redecorate KF's room!"

"Why?"

"Cause its fuuuuun!"


And it was fun, the clone thought. A lot of fun actually.

Painting was amazing. How easily you could turn one thing into something different, something new...individual. Just with a simple stroke of a brush the whole picture would change. Never going back to what it was before. It was fascinating.

"Hey, watch it! You got paint on me." A red stain graced Conner's face.

"Hihhihihihihhi. Suits you."

"Oi!"

Across Mustache Robin chest was now a big blue slash of color.

"That means revenge! Muhahahahaha"

"Bring it punk!"


Laughter echoed through the hallways. Not creepy, but carefree and light. Accompanied by a deep baritone.

Both boys were covered in all kind of different colors by the end of the "project", as Robin liked to call it. An innocence paint war had developed into a full-out pillow fight. The whole mountain extended into their battle field.

They were lying breathless on the floor, feathers still dancing through the air, paint smeared all over their bodies, and with a nice pair of goofy smiles on their faces. Robin turned around and watched Superboy for a moment.

Suddenly, the Boy Wonder shot up.

"What are you up to?" Conner asked in excitement.

"Gonna change Arty's colors! Green is out." His eyes flickered mischievously.

"You think she likes pink?"

Mustache Robin raised an eyebrow, stunned at Superboys suggestion. Conner truly earned his mustache with that.

"Megan does..." The clone said defensive not sure of what the other was thinking.

"Yeah this would work perfectly for her!"

A word and a bow.


"I am bored." Robin played absent-minded with his mustache. "Lets get out of here Supes!"

"Where?"

"Have you ever tried cotton candy?"

The confused lock on Conner's face spoke for itself.

"There is a carnival in town."

"And?"

Robin grinned.

"Lets go!"
