"Hey Darcy," Audrey quietly greeted her once Alfred dropped her off at school.

Ever since she called Bruce and told him about her mistake they were no longer on speaking terms. In which case, she asked (well mostly begged) for Alfred to take her to school.

"How are you doing?" Darcy asked as they walked to their AP English together.

"Okay… a little shakin' up but I'm okay," she smiled weakly then pushed back her grayish blind hair out of her eyes and revealed blood shot eyes. Darcy gasped and looked at her gray eyes that were surrounded by redness.

"What happened?" Darcy asked and Audrey shrugged and fiddled with her small, solid gold unicorn necklace.

"What? Audrey just tell me!" Darcy's voice shook with concern. Audrey turned away and spoke quietly.

"I was scared after they threw me out of their car, so I walked to the nearest pay phone and called my house and my cousin answered and said they were out picking up our other relatives from the airport so he picked me up." She faced Darcy then continued. "When he picked me up he had his friends with him, and they told me that they were going to go to this club so I went with them…" she trailed off and Darcy knew where they story was going.

"It's okay Aud," Darcy gave her a quick hug. She appreciated her friend's honesty but she had no intentions to tell Audrey or Sophia about what happened.

"Where's Sophia?" Darcy suddenly asked looking around the large classroom.

"Sick," Audrey said simply and sat down in the desk next to Darcy.

She nodded then slumped in her chair. Then her mind drifted off and it continued to do so throughout the whole school day.

The school bell rang loudly and Darcy automatically stood up along with the rest of her classmates, and walked out the door with her things in held tightly in her arms.

She approached her locker slowly, trying to figure out what she was going to work on at gymnastics tryouts that day. Ever since they fired that bitch-of-a gymnastics couch, Nadia took over the title of head coach and Darcy decided that it was safe to go back.

"There will be no gymnastics tryouts after school today due to a family emergency," the dean of students announced over the intercom. Darcy sighed and then pulled out her cell phone and called Alfred, telling him if he could pick her up since gymnastics was cancelled for the day. She hung up the phone and dropped it in her Coach purse and grabbed her tote and shut her locker. As she made her way to the Main Entrance she stopped to talk with friends along the way.

She sighed when she looked out the glass windows to see a Rolls Royce parked out front. Darcy absolutely did not want to go home because that meant more time she had to spend with Bruce.

Darcy walked down the steps to a waiting black car, but when she opened the front door, she jumped back in shock from what she saw.

"Hello, Darcy, nice to see you too!" Bruce chuckled at Darcy's horrified expression.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, but no in a snotty tone. More like a completely shocked and terrified one.

"What, you don't like to see you're favorite cousin?" Bruce chuckled but Darcy didn't say anything, she only sat down in the front seat of the Lamborghini.

"But, I called Alfred and he said he would pick me up?"

"I told him I could pick you up," there was an awkward silence after that until Bruce finally broke it with a sigh.

"Darcy, let's just forget about what happened with you and…" he trailed off finding himself unable to speak his name.

It shocked Bruce, that over the weeks that Darcy spent with him she became more of a niece to him than a cousin.

"Anyways, I also want to take you somewhere!" he told her finally which only made her roll her eyes.

"Another fancy restaurant?" she guessed.

"No, somewhere fun."

"Does Bruce Wayne even know the meaning of the word?" Darcy giggled at him and he playfully hit her arm. She pretended it didn't hurt even though she silently guessed that it would leave a bruise for her to find the next morning.

"Oh trust me, I know fun!"

"I'm not talking about the 'playboy, millionaire' kind of fun," she contradicted jokingly with raised eyebrows.

"Can it!" he told her with a loud laugh and hit her again on the same spot making her wince. Silently, she prayed that Bruce didn't see… but of course he did.

"Oh I'm sorry!" he mock-apologized with a giant smirk on his handsome face. "Did I hurt the might and strong gymnast?" He laughed. Darcy glared at him then punched him in the arm making him wince. She just pretended that she didn't see it, though.

They laughed all the way to the manor where they both got out of the shiny, silver car. Bruce turned to her before they went inside.

"By the way, we'll be outside, and it's going to be warm out," he informed her and then they both retreated to their rooms to change.

"Bruce," Darcy whined while she sat in the passenger side of the expensive car a half-hour later, "just tell me where we're going!"

"Chill out, Darc, it won't kill you not to know!" he rolled his eyes.

Darcy sighed and sucked back in her comeback and decided that it wasn't worth it. Instead, she fiddled with her large, silver, hoop earrings. Her hair was pulled back and into a high ponytail. She wore light wash, faded, jean shorts with a reddish orange tank top complimenting her beige skin.

"It won't kill you to tell me," she mumbled.

"We're here," Bruce told her and Darcy straitened up and looked out the window and read the large, wood, sign as they slowly drove by.

Welcome to the 42nd Annual, Gotham City fair!

"Oh, my gosh! We're going to a CARNIVAL!" Darcy squealed with excitement and Bruce smiled. It was the reaction he was hopping for.

"No date?" Darcy asked him with a sly smiled.

"Only you this time," he told her proudly. In her mind she was jumping with joy but contained the urge and only smiled back at him.

They got out of the car once Bruce parked and then locked the car.

"What do you want to do first?" he asked her, she thought for a moment then decided.

"Let's play some games," Bruce nodded then they walked towards the ticket booth. Bruce bought their tickets and then they walked to the row of games.

"Hey, let's do this one!" Bruce suggested excitedly and walked up to the carnie and gave him his ticket.

Darcy froze as she saw what the game was. The 'Test Your Strength' game. A flash back of the night she met Bryan came to her as nightmare.

"Winner!" the carnie shouted as the metal hit the bell loudly. Darcy jumped when she heard the loud ringing making Bruce laugh.

"Your turn, Darc," he handed her the giant hammer. She smiled weakly and took the hammer, and without even trying she won. She grabbed her prize, which was a lime green fuzzy hat, and she and Bruce debated on what to do next.

"What next?" Bruce asked, and before she was about to say 'let's go home,' she remembered that she couldn't let some one-night-stand ruin her life.

"Let's go on a ride!" she suggested and Bruce nodded and grinned.

"How about the scrambler?" he asked and Darcy nodded and they both walked over to the line of people waiting to take their turn on the ride.

Once they were sitting on their own bench and the bar protecting them was down, the ride started spinning. Sending Darcy and Bruce sliding side-to-side.

"Ow, Bruce, you're squishing me!" Darcy laughed and Bruce joined in. Then the ride turned again sending Bruce to the other end of the bench and making Darcy slam into him.

"I'm squishing you?" Bruce laughed.

"Stop complaining, you're pretty much made of steel!" Bruce and Darcy continued to bicker and laugh throughout the ride.

"Whoa," Bruce mumbled when he stumbled off the steel bench. With grace, Darcy stepped off, not even stumbling in her brown, high top Jimmy Cho flip-flips.

"Aren't you feeling a little sick?" Bruce asked, not even bothering to hide the jealously in his voice.

"No," then she added, "but when I lived in New York I went to Coney Island practically every day."

But then she started to feel very sick.

"Oh, Bryan, you're so funny!" a bubbly blonde giggled while she playfully hit his chest lightly. Darcy quietly took out her cell phone and deleted his number. A tear started to form but she quickly wiped it away before Bruce would notice. She composed her face before she turned to face her cousin.

"Why don't you go get us some slushies and I'll wait here?" Darcy suggested and prayed to God he wouldn't notice Bryan and his new girl over by the 'Hit the Balloon with the Dart' game.

He gave her a confused look then gave her his giant gorilla.

"Okay."

"Ehmagawd! Is that Darcy Wayne?" she turned at the sound of her name and saw the blonde that Bryan was with run up to her. "I read about you in, In Touch and I totally think that you have the most ah-mazing style… I totally envy you!" she told her. Darcy was taken back but thanked her anyways.

"Wow, you have pretty cool style too," she lied, "and thanks," she smiled at her and hoped that it didn't seem as fake as it really was.

"Thanks, I'm Alice," she introduced herself making Darcy start to believe that she wasn't that bad.

"Hi, so… how do you know Bryan?" she asked casually.

"Oh, we go to the same school."

"Oh-"

"Wait! How do you know Bryan?"

"Umm… well-"

"Oh my gosh! You're that Darcy!" Alice's eyes widened then she stepped back and took in Darcy's features.

"Sure…" was all Darcy could think of to say.

"Well… I can see why it didn't work out," she told her matter-of-factly

"Oh really, why?" Darcy challenged.

"Because, Bri only likes girls that are smaller than he is," Alice informed her snobbishly.

"Oh really, well does he also only date girls that are more stupid than he is?" Darcy asked calmly with a giant smirk plastered on her face. She forced the urge to laugh when she watched Alice's face turn from calm to shocked in only a matter of seconds.

"You wanna go, bitch?!" she shouted at Darcy then pushed her back. But to her dismay, Darcy only took one step back.

"Oh please!" Darcy laughed at the furious petite girl. "You're going to have to bring a lot more if you're going to take me down."

"Oh yeah?" Alice growled then threw her fist at Darcy's face.

She easily blocked the bunch by grabbing Alice's fist before it came in contact with her face. Darcy remained perfectly calm as she squeezed the girl's fist as hard as she could.

"What's going on here?!" a furious male voice growled behind Darcy. She let go of Alice's fist and turned around slowly.

"Darcy?" Bryan asked in horror and she just stood there stunned.

"Bryan…" Alice's voice whined, "Your ex is like the Hulk. She's ripped and she needs anger management."

Darcy rolled her eyes then looked Bryan straight in the eye. "So Bryan, I see that you lowered your standards," she smirked. He opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off. "Well have fun you two!" she said and then finally left them to find Bruce.

Bryan watched her walk away and he sighed silently to himself then faced Alice.

"Why did you even date her? I mean, she is suck a… a… she has such a temper problem!" she spat then held onto his arm.

"Come on, Al, let's go play a game," he sighed and then they walked off to the 'Whack a Mole' game.

"Where were you, Darc?" Bruce asked as they waited in line to board the ferris wheel.

"I saw some friends from school and I wanted to say hi to them," she told him simply. Bruce nodded then viewed his surroundings.

Suddenly, Darcy's cell phone vibrated and she quickly took it out.

UNKOWN" Sorry about what happened.

Darcy: Who is this?

UNKOWN: never mind….

Bryan looked at his last text then sighed.

Darcy: Who is this?

She deleted him from her phone… and her life.
