THE FINAL CHAPTER! But I will see you in a week when I start SWD: I Think We Need A Map, which from here on out I'm calling Map because I'm too lazy to keep writing it...Also, a friend of mine (cherryblossom24 but with a triple s because she can't spell) is writing a sister fic to this called Rapids, all about Bart and Bella. So read that too! Thanks for all those who have reviewed, it makes me write longer chapters...
TEAMS POV
The party was huge, it may have been semi-formal but it was more like a disco, with bright lights, speakers, a drinks table and disco balls. The Justice League had already arrived, only a couple of them wearing masks, knowing the team could be trusted. The guys turned around, all in tuxedos with various coloured ties, and grinned. Now they knew why the girls had taken so long.
Lydia wore a white dress with a crisis cross halter top, going just past her knees, her sunset necklace, and her hair loose and little white strap kitten heels.
Anna wore a strapless red dress, flowing free just above her knees with a wrap around style for the top, her hair fell loose along with red pumps.
Grace was wearing a lilac layered spaghetti strap dress to just above her knees, the dress sinched where it joined at the middle, with a lilac sash as a belt, her hair in a ponytail with a few curled strands hanging out, and black pumps.
Quanta wore a plain black skater style dress, but with Peter Pan straps, her hair loose and black brogue wedges.
Bella had been forced into a light blue dress to just below her knees, with thick straps, a floaty skirt, and a sash for a belt, along with silver pumps and an alice band.
Astrid was wearing a strapless dark green dress, to about an inch above her knees, with a sash round the waist and a back that dipped down showing her glimmering mark. She also wore dark green pumps with her hair loose and straightened.
The party started with a fast disco song, one that everyone knew the dance to so the dance floor was filled. Astrid and Robin laughed in one corner, Quanta dancing with Jaime, Lydia was getting a drink with Nightwing, Anna and Connor were lost in the crowd, Bella was sitting in a water bubble above it all with Bart, and Grace and Gar were seeing how many Pringles they could get in their mouth at once.
Song after song played, and soon enough a slow song came on, and Nightwing led Lydia to the dance floor. Robin put his arm round Astrid's shoulders, and she put her arm round the small of his back, and they both started doing a horrible impression of Irish Dancing. Lydia rolled her eyes, and turned back to Nightwing.
"Half the team already knows," she whispered. He knew what she was talking about.
"So, how do you propose we tell the other half?" Nightwing smirked. She gave him a look, and he leant down and covered her lips with his.
A chorus of "when did this happen?" "What?" "When did you two start dating?" And "about time you told everyone else," was drowned out by Lydia's mentor, Black Canary, and the Flash shouting "Finally!"
Jaime, seeing all attention was on the older couple, quickly pulled Quanta to him and kissed her. A click of a camera went off, and Quanta glared as Robin and Astrid laughed, quickly hiding the camera behind their backs.
Time flew by, no one really glancing at the clock, until there were some uninvited guests.
WHERE'S WALLY? - B03
ROBIN HOOD - B07
"Gate crashing! Wait, what did it say?" Wally asked, speeding to a stop. Artemis followed him in, cuffing him upside the head. Wally spied Lydia and Nightwing holding hands at the edge of the crowd.
"You must be Lydia. Wow you're short," Wally said, slightly stunned.
"Connor," Lydia looked ready to kill, "can I borrow your-"
"Yes," Connor answered. Lydia borrowed Connors super strength, and punched Wally in the jaw, making him fall to the floor.
"I'm gonna go get a drink," Lydia smiled sweetly, walking off towards the drinks table with Artemis.
"Dude, she hates being called short," Nightwing chuckled, helping his friend off the floor.
"No kidding," Wally muttered. Bella walked up to him, Bart just behind her.
"Hi I'm Bella, Lydia's sister. Need some ice?" Bella held out her palm, and a large ice block formed in it.
"Urr, thanks," Wally gently took the ice block and placed it to his jaw, as Bart put an arm round Bella's waist, sending the fellow speedster a warning look.
"So who are this years pranksters?" Wally asked, referring to the zeta name that had changed from Kid Flash to Where's Wally?
"The two that look the most innocent," Nightwing sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"The girl in the green dress and Robin?" Wally asked after scanning the crowd.
"Yes, Astrid and Robin," Nightwing replied. He then went on to list each and every single prank the pair had pulled, but when he got to the zeta name changes he had to wait for a few minutes for Wally to calm down.
"So are you going to introduce me to everyone?" Wally grinned.
The party finished, and the League, Team, Wally and Artemis cleared out, planning to tidy up tomorrow after the girls came back from their dimension. As soon as their heads hit the pillows, they were all out like a light.
"I guess it's time to go then," Anna said, turning to the Team and the few Leaguer's that had turned up.
"So how are we getting there?" Quanta asked, everyone had been pondering this all morning.
"These," Captain Atom stepped forward, holding a handful of rings, "are trans-dimensional travel rings. They can take you home, and will countdown your thirty minutes. Here you go," he gave a ring to each of the girls. Bella's was a aqua ring, with a countdown inside a rain drop that created splash noises every minute. Lydia was handed a sunset ring, the closer the sun came to setting, the less time she had. She slipped it on her sunset necklace that Nightwing had given her. Anna's black ring slowly became less visible as time ran out. Quanta's ring was gold, with a large green gem containing a countdown in between two smaller blue gems. Grace's was lilac, 30 lights surrounding it (one would turn off every minute). And finally, Astrids was silver, angel wings set in the same appearance as her mark.
"Why is it so heavy?" Astrid stared at the offending ring.
"It will get lighter as you run out of time," Hawkwoman explained. Astrid nodded.
"Good luck," Robin walked up to Astrid as the others came to wish the girls the same thing.
"Thanks, but I'll be back before you know it," Astrid grinned. Anna and Quanta shared a look, and a piece of hovering mistletoe turned invisible.
"Either way," he pulled her in for a hug.
"Astrid," Lydia said, smiling.
"Robin," Nightwing smirked.
"Look up," they said simultaneously. Astrid and Robin glanced up, to see mistletoe hovering above their heads via telekinesis, having just become visible.
"You must obey the rules of the mistletoe!" Bella chirped.
"KISS KISS KISS KISS!" Everyone chanted. Robin grabbed Astrids waist, and pulled her in for a kiss. Everyone cheered, as Astrid kissed back. They pulled away from each other, blushing madly. Just as the girls were about to twist their rings and travel dimensions, Connor called out.
"Wait!" He walked towards Anna, and placed his lips on hers. The cheering started up again, and Anna pulled away, smiling. He stepped away, and the girls twisted their rings.
THE GIRLS DIMENSION
"Just as cold as I remember," Bella grumbled.
"Half an hour, go," Lydia said, shaking Anna and Astrid out of their trance.
The girls made their way to their homes, ripping down Missing posters of the six girls as they went.
"Hey, are you Bella and Lydia? The missing girls?" A girl's voice said from behind them.
"Noooo... I'm Gwendolyn and this is my sister Beatrice," Lydia said in a posh accent.
"If you're sure," the girl muttered, turning away.
"Really? Beatrice?" Bella exploded once the girl had gone.
"Yep," Lydia smirked, walking away.
UNKNOWN VILLAINS POV
The villain watched the screens as the girls ran around their homes, tagging things to bring back with them. The villain smirked. They still had nine minutes left. Oh well, time to end it. The villain raised the remote, and pressed the button as the dimension, and the girls inside it, blew to smithereens.
