Gotham Technical School

"Man, Bruce is totally freakin out," Vic said as they exited the school, "I mean it's only a wedding."

"It's Clark and Dianas' wedding," Dick said as he stuffed his hands in his shorts pockets, "They're his best friends. He's been waiting for them to get married for years."

"I'm just glad that today was the last day of school," Karen said, changing the subject, "Gives me more time to pack and not worry about homework during work."

"Yeah," Kory said with a small smile, "But it also gives Bruce more time to annoy Richard and I."

"Dick is your tux ready?" Dick said sounding exactly like Bruce, "Kory don't forget to make sure your bridesmaids dress fits you. I don't want you going to the tailors at the last minute. You both better go with Selina today to make sure everything's ready."

"Whenever he said that this week," Kory told Vic and Karen as she started giggling a little, "We just hung out with Selina in her apartment building for a few hours. She's just as annoyed with Bruce as we are."

"I thought this was Clark and Dianas' wedding," Vic said with a chuckle, "Not Bruces'."

"He figures that it's his responsibility as Best Man to make sure that everything's on schedule." Dick said with a shrug, his voice now back to normal, "He's even paying for everything himself."

"Y'know I've never heard him call Clark and Diana his best friends," Karen said, her eyes slightly wide with this new development, "But that sure as hell proves it."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Don't forget to pack up your work clothes," Dick told them after a few minutes of silence, "Remember we agreed to keep an eye out so Clark and Diana will only have to worry about the wedding, not Metropolis."

"Hopefully we'll be able to catch a break," Vic said putting his hands behind his head, "I know I gotta catch up on some sleep after yesterdays fight."

"We didn't even get scraped." Karen told him bluntly.

"No," Vic agreed, "But we didn't get back till 3:30. I don't know about you but that, along with the sleep we still haven't caught up on from earlier this year, has tired me out."

They laughed a little as they continued to walk to the other side of town.

Meanwhile-Gotham Middle School

"Will you stop tapping your pen against the table like that," Rachel told Gar, her eyes never leaving her thick book, "It's annoying."

"Sorry," Gar said with a grin as he put his right hand over his left, trying to stop it from tapping the pen, "I'm just excited. Only fifteen minutes, twenty-seven second s till school's over. Twenty-six, twenty-five,-twenty-four, twenty-"

"Gar," Babs interrupted him, "We know how to read a clock."

"Yeah," Tim agreed with a teasing smile, "And we also know that if you count down the minutes left till school's over, it'll just feel like the day will never end and we'll be stuck here forever. Just chill and look at something else for a while."

Gar's face scrunched up in thought as he tried to think of something else to do to pass the time by. Suddenly he got a huge grin and jumped out of his seat and into the empty one behind Rachel before he started leaning over her shoulder.

Rachel just ignored him and continued reading her book.

"Hey Rae," Gar whispered as she turned the page. She just continued to ignore him.

"Hey Rae," He whispered again, leaning closer over her shoulder. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly before continuing to ignore him.

"Hey Ra-" Gar started but was interrupted.

"What?" Rachel asked him through clenched teeth.

"What's going on in the book so far?" Gar asked her casually.

Rachel turned in her chair and glared at him while Tim and Babs laughed at the scene before turning back to look at each other.

Tim pulled out a deck of play cards and started shuffling them before taking a glance at the clock.

"Ten minutes left," He told Babs as he turned around in his seat so he was looking at her, "Wanna play a quick game of Spit."

"There's no such thing as a quick game," Babs told him as she took the cards from him and dealt them out.

"There is when I'm playin," Tim told her with a cocky smile. Babs just rolled her eyes and set the rest of the cards in the center before starting the game.

"You hear how Bruce is workin Dick and Kory," Gar asked casually as he took a seat next to Babs, "He sends them over to Selinas' and they hang there the whole day, it's crazy."

They laughed for a few moments.

"You think he's uptight now," Babs said as she quickly slapped her hand on the smallest deck of cards before Tim could, "just wait till we're actually in Metropolis for the wedding."

"How'd you do that?" Tim asked in disbelief staring at the empty space the cards had once been in.

"Skills." Babs answered shortly with a teasing smile.

"All I know is when I get to Metropolis," Gar said with a grin while bringing the subject back to the upcoming wedding, "I'm gonna just sit back, relax, and play video games in the hotel room."

"So basically the usual." Rachel cut in with a smirk. Gar just gave her a small glare.

"We're going to Metropolis, Gar," Babs said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "We're going because we need to go to a wedding between very important people in our community. They'll be busy with the wedding. Too busy to work."

"I still don't get it," Gar said with a shrug. Babs sighed and dropped her head to the table as the bell rang.

Gar whooped with joy before rushing out of the classroom.

"He'll learn when a giant robot starts attacking the city," Rachel said as she grabbed her backpack. Tim and Babs just nodded in agreement.

"Okay," she said as she turned it to the calendar, "Guys, your taxi is supposed to come in ten minutes. Ours is in five.

"At four o'clock, you four should all be checked in," she said, looking up at the four boys, "and we should be unpacked. The hotel is fifteen minutes from the Embassy, so the four of us," she continued, pointing to herself, Kory, Karen, and Rachel, "and Donna will be on our way over to the hotel. We hang out at the coffee shop down on the main floor until 5:40, then you guys head back to your hotel rooms and the girls and I will head back to the Embassy. We should get back just before Diana does, and you guys will have enough time to make it look like you hung out in your rooms all day."

Hope you all enjoyed the last chapter, the preview, and the story overall. 'The Wedding' should be up soon.

So, for the last time for this story, thanks for reading. Please review.
