Day 25

"Wally what are you doing in the garage?" Artemis asks him

He looks around shocked, hiding whatever it was behind his back.

"huh what? Artemis you aren't meant to be home for another two hours."

"it's Christmas eve, they let me off work early. What are you hiding?"

"What I'm not hiding anything." He says stepping back into the workbench that had been barely used because Artemis didn't trust wally with power tools, can you blame her.

"Yeah, I totally believe you, well I would if there wasn't a giant box hiding behind your back."

"Okay, it was meant to wait until you got back, you were saying how you and your mom always used to celebrate on Christmas eve with a special cake, so I thought I'd give you your big present today and I got the cake recipe from your mom and I was going to make it before you get back along with the soup that your mom gave me the recipe for and then greet you with a candlelight dinner and your present that is currently sitting in this box. Half wrapped…." He says quickly then trailing off when he see how she's looking at him,

"I'm rambling aren't I?"

"I love you. You're perfect. Whatever you've planned is perfect, but you know what would make it better?"

"No what?" he asks as she steps forward toward him, she's about half a metre away

"if you just showed me my present." She says lunging for the boxes behind him.

"No stop!"

She grabs the box it's heavier than she thought and she almost drops it, wally saves the box, from hitting the floor and a small yelp comes from the box.

"What's in there?"

"Uhhhh… Urm…Uhhhh…."

"Can I open it please?"

"Yeah."

She smiles and together they put the box on the workbench.

"Oh my God Wally!" she exclaims after opening the box, inside is a tiny pit bull puppy.

"Aww he's perfect." She says picking him up and cuddling him in her arms

"Look at his collar."

"Wally you didn't get the dog a kid flash collar."

"I did but look closer."

"what are you-"

And suddenly he's down on one knee, "Artemis, will you marry me?"

A/N: yeah so in case you wanted to know the answer she said yes, I don't own young justice. Sorry I'm like three days behind my family left yesterday and I was asleep all of boxing day in a food coma, seriously I fell asleep after lunch then slept until lunch the next day.
