Summary: "And we're back to bring you a new online challenge that the media has dubbed the 'Autograph Challenge", but it's not what you may think. Instead of trying to gather the most autographs from our local heroes, it's taken a darker approach as teens are collecting the autographs of villains and violent criminals. Stay tuned for more after the break" Drabble fic

There wasn't a lot to do that interested the one and only Harley Quinn.
After a slow day in Gotham, no crazy crime sprees and with Ivy off on her own, Harley found herself utterly bored. Wandering about the city streets, doing a little shopping, Harley had decided to go to the amusement park.
Of course, that planned didn't turn out as nearly as great as she hoped. None of her friends had been free to hang out with her, most of which were hiding away or in Arkham while even her best bud, Red Fool wasn't picking up her messages. When Harley arrived, she got the usual looks not that she minded as much, she was a beautiful and intelligent young woman after all.
What did turn her rather boring day around was the when a kid that barely reached her shoulders, shyly walked over to her. Intrigued by the sudden boy, Harley gave him a classic grin before asking if she could do anything for the guy.
Oddly enough the kid had merely handed her a pen and a small notebook and pointed to her. Was he asking for her signature? It was a little weird, even for her, but who was she turn down a kid, especially one as sweet and cute as him.
So without hesitation, Harley grabbed the pen and signed the notebook, drawing a few extra doodles in the process before cheerfully handing it back to him. When he looked down at it, the boy smiled brightly, quickly though slightly stuttering out a thank you before disappearing through the crowds.
Having put Harley in a good mood, even if she wasn't quite sure why he would want her autograph, she just grinned thinking that her act to change herself was paying off. Maybe this was what it was like to be a hero she thought.
The rest of her day in the park was filled with laughs and smiles (although the other guests were a bit weary when it concerned the former villain turned...who knew what anymore). It was when she was exiting the park, along with her pile of prizes, cotton candy, and giant stuffed bear (the latter of which she totally didn't steal mind you), came another surprise.
A girl, a bit older then the boy, with large red braces and curly brown hair had approached her. And just like the kid before, had politely asked Harley for her autograph, this time on some unicorn shaped paper. Happily giving the girl her signature and complementing the girl's braces, making the girl blush and giving her one of the many bags of cotton candy she had, the girl had practically bounced away from her.
All in all, Harley Quinn concluded that it was a good day, a very good day indeed.
