"So I got all the decoration and the tree and everything is in its place" Barbara said checking her list.

"Barb this is the fifth time you checked that list, everything is in its right place just come down" Jim said coming her.

"But everything has to be perfect for Christmas tomorrow since tonight we are going to Mr. Wayne's gala for Christmas eve" Babs said.

"Everything is perfect now drop that list and go get ready for the party" Jim said as he kissed his daughter on the cheek and she nodded and got up the stairs.

"Oh Barb" Jim sighed to himself.


"So, how do I look?" Barb asked behind her father's back and he turned around to look at her.

"Wow" Jim said, Babs was wearing a white top, a red skirt over black leggings and a white boots, she didn't like getting fancy for Bruce's galas, she always runs with Dick, Wally and Roy anyways.

"You look great" Jim finally said.

"You look great too, dad" Babs said and they went off.


"Jim" Bruce welcomed as he reached his hand up.

"Bruce" Jim reached for his hand and shook it "How's it going?"

"Great, how are you?" Bruce asked.

"Great, things are going fine" Jim said.

"Barbara you look great" Bruce said as he looked at Barbara.

"Thanks Mr. Wayne" Babs said "And you look great as always".

"Thanks Barbara but for the last time, call me Bruce" Bruce said.

"Okay Bruce" Babs said and Dick then came from behind them.

"Hey Babs" Dick said then had a full look at her "You look… wow" and Babs cheeks went red.

"Not on your life, Grayson" Jim glared but with a little bit of teasing in his eyes and now it was Dick's turn to go red.

"Why don't you go and see if your other friends are here" Bruce saved them and they nodded and left.

"You know you don't look so bad yourself" Babs smirked.

"Look I want to ask you something" Dick started.

"What is it?" Babs asked curiously.

"Well it's…" Dick started.

"Yo guys" Wally's voice came from the food table, he was standing there with Roy and they came next to Dick and Babs cutting off their conversation.

"What's up guys?" Wally asked.

"Nothing much" Babs said.

"They're over there" they heard a faraway voice come from behind them.

"Hi guys" Megan, Connor, Zee, Artemis and Kaldur came closer to the four.

"Yo, how's it going?" Wally said shoving another cookie up his mouth so everything he said sounded like a big humming sound.

"Great" Megan answered what she assumed he was asking.

"So what do you do at these things? I can't believe you could stay here with all of them" Connor asked.

"Well, you wanna see how we have fun at these things?" Dick smirked as he looked at the three next to him and they went out with the others following.


"HAHAHA, hilarious" Dick said laughing at the prank they just pulled.

"That was awesome" Wally said laughing and they looked at the others, they were all laughing even Connor and Kaldur.

"Yeah, wait what about Mr. Wayne?" Kaldur asked with a little shiver.

"Don't worry, I've been grounded a lot because of the pranks at Bruce's galas" Dick said.

"Then why doesn't he stop you?" Connor asked.

"He tried it once, never again" Babs answered and she, Dick, Wally and Roy laughed.

"Remember that? Man that was the best scene ever" Wally said laughing.

"Ever get tired of the 'You-had-To-Be-There moment?" Zee whispered to Megan.

"Yup" Megan whispered back.

"Okay, I'm gonna go get a drink" Wally said and he and Roy went to the food table "Want anything?"

"No thanks" they answered.

"Oh, I love this song, come on let's dance" Megan pulled all of them to the dance floor and started dancing.

"Hey you wanted to ask me something earlier?" Babs remembered.

"Oh yeah" Dick said as he pulled her aside, up the stairs and into his room, they sat on the bed and he looked at her.

"So Babs I was thinking of giving you this" Dick pulled out a rapped box/ present from his pocket and gave it to her.

"What's this?" Babs asked as she took it.

"Open it and find out" Dick said.

"Wait, is this a Christmas present? I'm not opening a Christmas present before Christmas" Babs said.

"No, it's a Christmas Eve present" Dick said and Babs glared in a teasing way at him.

"Come on, open it" Dick said again and Babs sighed as she opened the box by its wrap and opened the jewelry box and it had a necklace in it, a necklace with a diamond gemstone on it.

"Dick, I can't keep this" Babs said.

"What? Why not? Don't worry I didn't spend any money on it, I know you hate that but this…" Dick started.

"Yes I know, this is your mom's" Babs said "But that's it, it's probably the last thing you Hve from her".

"That's why I want you to have it" Dick said.

"But Dick…" Babs started.

"Babs!" Dick said and he held the necklace up so he can put it on her neck.

"But…" Babs started.

"No Buts" Dick said "I want you to have it".

"Do you think she would be okay with me having it?" Babs asked.

"Who?" Dick asked.

"Your mom" Babs said "Do you think she would be okay with me having it?"

"I'm certain she would want me to give it to someone I truly love and that's you Babs" Dick said.

"Really?" Babs asked and Dick kissed her on the nose as he said "Of course".

"Come on, let's get down stairs, they are probably waiting for us" Dick said and they both got off the bed and got down stairs but when they came into the room everyone was staring at them.

"What's going on?" Babs whispered to Dick.

"I don't know" Dick whispered back.

"Dude look up" they heard Roy's voice come and they did as they said only to find a mistletoe above them, they looked at each other and started laughing awkwardly and the crowd went "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss".

"Fine" Dick and Babs said then Dick leaned in and kissed her on the lips and the crowd clapped for them.

"Uh-oh" Babs said as they broke the kiss.

"What's the matter?" Dick asked as he looked to where she was looking and saw an angry Jim Gordon.

"Uh-oh" he repeated after her and Jim moved in closer to them but they were lucky enough that Bruce was on their side and came for their help to distract him as they leave and they did so.

They got up to the roof only to see Wally and Artemis already there kissing under or next to a mistletoe.

"Well, well, well" Dick and Babs cut them off.

"Don't like each other, right?" Babs started.

"No, it's just because of the mistletoe, traditions are traditions" Wally said.

"Right, that's exactly it" Artemis said.

"Okay whatever" Dick and Babs were so not buying that.

"Well gotta go" Artemis said then left.

"Really?" Dick asked Wally and Wally ran away behind Artemis so he wouldn't answer questions leaving Dick and Babs laughing on the roof.
