Jordan and Diana were sitting in the living room, waiting on the other Girls to get back. They went back to their houses to get whatever they needed for the sleepover and should be back soon.
"So the only sleepover you had is with Zee?"
"Yeah, it was some time after we all first met. Though, she displayed signs of flying in her sleep so I spent most of the night trying to drag her back to bed!"
"Wow, that sounded like it took a bit out of you."
"Eh, a bit." He finished just as the doorbell rang, signaling that they have returned. The door opened revealed all the Girls clad in pajamas and sleepwear.
"Ready for a night to relax and have fun?" Zee was the one that was most excited.
"Yup! Just gotta wait for my mom to get going!"
"Wow, she really wants her night to go well, huh?"
"You could say that…"
"Oh, hello Girls!" Wanah was dressed in a nice form-fitting blue dress with blue heels and white earrings. They were all stunned for a bit before Karen continued.
"Wow, Ms. James. You look… pretty…"
"Thanks! Okay, so Jordan. Here is my card. If you want to get some delivery later, it's perfectly fine. You know, as long as you don't spend it on anything else." He saluted, clarifying that he understood.
"Don't worry mom! If we need anything, we'll just text you."
"Okay, good. Anyways, I'm off. Have fun!"
"You as well!" She walked out the door, leading the Girls to speak as they took most stuff that you would find at a sleepover out.
"Hey, you know what we should do first? Karaoke!"
"Oh okay. Do you have a machine or…?"
"Nope! See, we were thinking… maybe we can try some songs from a different dimension."
"Hmm… well, which one were you thinking?"
"Well, Jordan A.? You know, the one with the space goddess? He keeps talking that he's from "the real world" and frankly it's kinda intriguing." Jordan and Diana stared at each other before Jordan rushed to get his watch to contact them. A moment later, he came back down and opened a portal.
"Alright, I'll be right back! Brb!" He jumped in, with the portal staying open for when he comes back. Zee immediately went into slumber mode.
"Okay, so until he comes back, let's talk boys!" Most of them, save for the more stoic ones, became a little giddy and rushed to the living room. Unbeknownst to them, there were two other guys who took note of where they were.
"So this is where they're staying." Hal and Oliver were sneaking up to his house.
"Guess so. No idea why it's at Jordan's house but- oh!" The two hid in bushes to prevent them from being seen. They had to get in there somehow and get a look at the action. None of the Girls knew they were there as they kept talking.
"...and that's why I love Porker so much! He's can be so cuddly! And he's actually pretty powerful too…!" The Girls chuckled at her comment and look afterward.
"You know, Jordan said that you two kinda remind of him of a fictional couple from his world. I can't remember their names though…"
"Eh, it's fine. We probably can't say it anyway! So, anyone else got any crushes?" Karen timidly raised her hand as Zee squealed.
"Well, um. I might have a teensy tiny bit of a… thing… for… Carter." She was met with squeals as Karen blushed.
"Aww, that's so cute!"
"He is…" She stared off into space as the Girls knew what this meant.
"So… how about… you, Diana? How are things with Jordan?" She blushed at the thought before talking.
"Well, Jordan still has not admitted his feelings for me yet… and neither have I. I believe that I shall tell him when he is comfortable. You know, because it is better not to rush?" The Girls nodded at this, though they secretly wished Jordan would just tell her already.
"Oh. Well, don't take it personally. He's a teenage boy. They aren't that good at, you know, displaying feelings. Though given his life, I'm not surprised…" They all mourned just as Jordan got back, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Hey Girls!" They all quickly shook off the moodiness.
"Oh, hi Jordan! What took so long?"
"Well, the two were doing a match in something called a "Smash tournament". I had to wait until their match ended to talk to them. Anyways, they gave me their strange-looking game and their, um, "Dock" that we're supposed to connect to the TV. They told me that we need to use some service called Spotify and use a specific playlist that they've saved. It's full of songs from different kinds of genres so… I guess we would all have to sing when it's a favorite genre of ours. Don't worry" All the Girls nodded as Diana asked a question.
"So how does karaoke work exactly?"
"Well, it's like a sing-along. Like, hold on, let me connect this…"
As Jordan was connecting the dock, Hal and Oliver were thinking of a way to get into his house. Hal had an idea to construct a ladder and have the two climb it. But the house actually has a few tricks up its sleeve since Jordan fused with the serums. Once they got to the top, a glove came out and sawed the ladder and tipped it over, causing the two to fall into the bush safely.
"Ugh, what just happened?"
The two pondered as Jordan got Jordan A.'s Switch to work.
"Okay, I think I got it." The playlist had just the song names and not the artist or album names so as to not cause the Girls to worry further about what other worlds are there. The first song was one that some of the Girls immediately realized.
"Oooh, I love this song!" Turns out this song was one that actually already exists in this dimension.
"Me too!" The other Girls exclaimed as it started. Jordan got up and started, which eventually spread to the other Girls.
"So we all know what to do? Yes. Okay." He took a breath and started.
Jordan: I can't help it if I make a scene,
Stepping out of my hot pink limousine.
Jordan and Karen: I'm turning heads and I'm stopping traffic.
When I pose, they scream, and when I joke, they laugh.
Karen and Zee: I got a pair of eyes that they're getting lost in…
Zee (as she sways her hips): They're hypnotized by the way I'm walkin'!
Diana and Kara: I got them dazzled like a space magician,
When I point, they look and when I talk, they listen, well,
Jessica and Tatsu: Everybody needs a friend
And I got you, and you, and you!
Some many, I can't even name them
Can you blame me? I'm too famous!
Jordan then got a little too into it as he danced as he did the final lyrics.
Haven't you noticed I'm a star?
I'm coming into view as the world is turning.
Haven't you noticed I made it this far…
Now everyone can see me burning.
Then everyone came in as they sang the last two.
Now everyone can see me burning.
Now everyone can see me burning.
"Wow, Jordan! I have to admit. I was not aware that you carried a tune!" He got flustered as he realized that this was the first time he sang in front of… anyone aside from his mom.
"Oh, well, I do a lot of singing in the car… and in private… and in the shower. This was, like, the first time I've ever done something like this."
"Well, you were great! Now let us just go through these next songs!"
And they did, still unaware that Hal and Oliver were trying to get in. They tried the old Batman building climb trick, using one of Oliver's arrows. Just as they were able to reach the top, another glove came out and cut the line. The two fell back into the bush and thought of another plan. It seemed that the house is one that follows cartoon logic, like the Toon. So they did the simplest thing: they disguised themselves and allowed themselves to enter through Jordan's room. The plana actually did work as the two prepared to creep downstairs. All they had to do was open Jordan's door…
The Girls were still singing many songs from Jordan A.'s world, even after the pizza they ordered was delivered. Many genres such as pop, rock, and to Jordan's delight, electro swing, were covered. But Jordan and Rosalina's choice of songs go as far back as the '60s, with one called Ain't No Mountain High Enough played. Jordan figured that it was going to be a duet… and hoped that someone would do it for him.
Jordan: Listen, baby!
Ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low,
Ain't no river wide enough, baby!
Diana: If you need me, call me,
No matter where you are,
No matter how far
(Jordan: Don't worry, baby.)
Just call my name,
I'll be there in a hurry,
you don't have to worry
Both: Cause baby, there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough.,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting to you, baby!
Jordan: Remember the day, I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day in, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Someway, somehow
Both: Oh, baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough.,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting to you, baby!
Everyone else awed at the duet the two were doing as they seemed to share a gaze into each other's eyes as they did a roundabout. For Diana, it was how happy Jordan looked as he sang. For Jordan, it was how beautifully Diana moved and sang, cumulating in everything else he loved about her.
Jordan: Oh no, darling!
Diana: No wind, no rain,
Or winter's cold can stop me, baby!
Jordan: No, no baby!
(Diana: Cause you are my goal!)
If you're ever in trouble,
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me,
Both: Oh, baby! Hah!
Diana: My love is alive,
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart.
Both: If you ever need, a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can!
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough.,
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me from getting to you, baby!
The two then finished out the song and just stared at each other. In fact, they were so entranced that they did not realize that they were holding each other, to which they quickly let go, flustered. At that point, Jordan decided to pause the karaoke and tell her something he's been wanting to tell her for a while now.
"Hey, Diana?"
"Hmm?"
"Before I got here, I felt like an insecure nobody deep down. Like no one was there to help me outside of my mother like I wouldn't be able to find a friend that truly gets me. That changed when I moved here to Metropolis… and when you escaped here from Themyscira. You all have really helped me see that I wasn't alone. And you, Diana, were there to help the most. You helped me find my calling. I always admired that about you."
"Well, if we must be honest… I have felt a similar way about you. You really knew how to pull me through tough times and be there by me and your sisters' side." The two chuckled as they remembered what song they were just singing.
"Diana, I have been wanting to tell you something for a while, now. I…" Then the bell rang, making Jordan stop in his tracks. "Ugh, someone's trying to sneak in. Good thing I installed my special alarm system." The other Girls were shocked as a bag was carried down the stairs by a glove.
"How did you find time to do this?"
"I got the skills of a classic cartoon. Always best never to question. Now let's see who's been trying to intrude on our little party…" Jordan unwrapped the bag to find Hal and Oliver, with guilty-looking expressions.
"Hal? Oliver?"
"Surprise…" Everyone else was not amused.
"Wow, this is just crazy, even for you two! Like, breaking up over text, crazy!" Jessica made this comment as Hal sighed.
"You're never gonna let me live that down, are you?"
"Nope!" Jordan was there too, just as angry with Hal back then as Jess was. The Girls pondered over what they shall do to punish them.
"We need to teach these boys a lesson… but how?" Jordan eyeballed Zee's makeup case. And then, he got an idea. An awful idea. Jordan got a wonderful, awful idea.
"Say, Girls… what's the best thing about a sleepover?" Everyone else then drew devious expressions as Zee drew her case and held it.
"Makeover!" They all jumped at him and a dust cloud was formed. Once the dust cleared, Jordan pulled out a mirror.
"Don't they look lovely?" The boys were given girlish makeovers, making them all laugh. Even Diana was laughing, now understanding the difference between good pranks and bad pranks. All the while the boys were shocked.
"Please, please, don't do that to us again! Send us back! We'll behave ourselves next time!"
"Wow, that's a little quicker than expected. Do you think they learned?" The Girls shook their heads. "Yeah, me neither. But since we're in such a good mood… we'll go easy on you this time and leave this as your warning." Then Zee cast a spell to send them back to their homes.
"Dnes eseht syob kcab ot rieht semoh!" And in a flash, the two were sent away. The Girls giggled as Jordan remembered what he was saying.
"Okay, so Diana, as I was saying I was interrupted… for the longest time, I have been wanting to say that I… I…" He yawned and kinda swayed, the pizza and the 4th of July madness finally catching up to him. He then fell asleep, which caused him to lean on Diana… on a rather unfortunate place to rest his face on.
"Well, we should probably get him to an actual pillow. He needs his rest."
"Agreed," said Diana, blushing. "You and he have done so much for us lately."
"So we're all just gonna sleep now?"
"I guess so. It was fun doing songs, but today's been a long day." The girls agreed as they got into their sleeping bags or whatever they brought and fell asleep.
Later that night…
"Thanks for the fun time!"
"It was my pleasure!" Wanah was saying goodbye to her friend in the limousine, who kissed her hand and bid her farewell. As the limo drove off, she took her heels off as she unlocked the door and opened it. They didn't leave that much of a mess, thank goodness, and everyone was fast asleep. One thing she did take notice of was Diana sleeping right next to Jordan, which made her squeal on the inside.
"I wonder if they told each other already…" This was her thought as she went upstairs and did her business, calling it a night.
AU: So I have tried to make plenty of breather episodes, but for the most part, I think this is the first episode to be an actual breather. I didn't want to do any villains, any drama, or anything like that. Just the Girls having a fun time with a little sneaking from Hal and Oliver.
Also, you may have noticed some more shipping between Jordan and Diana. They almost got the words to each other but in the end, the aforementioned duo and tiredness won them over. But hey, at least I was able to get a couple of songs in there!
Final note: I have a survey that I would like you to fill out. Just to help determine the future.
