As kal and Liam flit between the racks of clothing Zee starts to interrogate that deliciousness known as Wally; our new neighbour.

"So Wallace, where are you from?"

"Central city, Kansas."

She leans in, "so Artemis defiled an innocent country boy last night, interesting."

Wally looks extremely uncomfortable, taking a sip of his beer.

"Zee." Dick mumbles, pulling her back from her interrogative position, that made the small girl seem almost dominating.

She taps on her iPad, which has been pulled out of nowhere, "So Wallace Rudolph West of Kansas it is, your Facebook photo really doesn't do you justice." She holds it up, it's a photo of him as a teenager, in yellow and red track clothes, he's skinny and lanky, and is frowning in determination.

"I, uh, don't really use Facebook, just messenger."

Zee makes a humming sound in response as she taps a few more times, "and these photos of children on from about six weeks ago? Are they your kids? Brothers? sisters?"

He gulps, "They're my aunt's, that was a family barbecue last month."

"So you're totally available?"

He nods, jaw twitching.

"Who's this?"

She brings up a photo of a blonde girl, well more like a pink haired girl with blonde highlights from the early 2000's.

"My ex jenni."

"Her Facebook profile says her name's Jinx."

"She's weird."

Zee smiles, "so you're one of those guys that's talks shit about their ex?"

He chuckles, " No, she actually what you would call weird, she's pretty cool but she's really into voodoo and likes to say things involving karma. Her main life goal is to learn to sleep hanging upside down like a bat."

Zee opens her mouth to say something, before closing it and frowning, "Okay Artemis that's literally the only bad thing about this guy that I could find so I officially have nothing."

I laugh.

"Seriously marry this guy, he's perfect."

I apologise to Wally, " she's my best friend but she's an idiot. Can we please just start over?"

" Ah but if we start all over does that mean we forget last night or re enact it, because I am totally game for the latter, beautiful."

I roll my eyes, " oh be still my beating heart," I exclaim sarcastically.

He's about to respond when Lian comes flying out of a rack and jumps on the couch next to him, looking guilty as sin.

"Lian where did you go?" Kaldur calls from within the rack, before he let out a small scream.

He emerges from the rack face covered in glitter and sequins, "well played young one, well played."

"Lian!" I exclaim.

She looks at her feet guiltily.

"Come on Kal you look beautiful, in fact that should be your new makeup regime glitter suits you." Zee tells him

He looks at himself in the mirror, posing and pouting a few times, before announcing," now my exterior is just as fabulous as my interior."

I look at Lian, "Would you like to say anything to Kaldur?"

Lian hums, " Pink's not really your colour."

Dick barks out a laugh, "That was so Jade like of her to say."

I'm about to tell her off when I'm cut off by the buzzer, this time it has to be pizza.

I launch myself of the sofa, to press the button, "pizza?"

"Pizza."

I'm practically salivating at the thought of food, I'm so hungry.

"I'll get plates." I say rushing to the kitchen.

"I'll help." Wally offers, following me through.

"So you've got a sister?" Wally asks helping get napkins out of the cupboard I directed him to.

I shrug,"We haven't really been close since our parents got divorced, she chose to leave, I got stuck in between the two of them. Her being gone made it difficult to be close. I haven't seen her since before Lian was born. We don't exactly roll in the same circles anymore."

He raises an eyebrow, "Those circles being?"

"Difficult to get out of." I deadpan.

We go silent for a minute.

"I can only find Christmas napkins." Wally announces after a moment or two of scrambling though my cupboards.

I sigh, "they're up here." I squeeze past him and point up on tiptoes to reach them, he reaches too seeing my height struggle.

I turn to say something, but the look in his green eyes distracts me from my train of thought. It's cliche but it feels like everything slows down, as I feel him lean towards me. Getting closer.

"Hey Artemis do we have any ice cream?" My best friend interrupts, before Wally and I can start making out on the kitchen counter. I pull myself away, " yeah I'll bring it out."

Zee smirks from the doorway.

"And you say Dick and I can't keep it in our pants."
