Move On
Wally
When you have a moment where you stop and look around, you find that you've grown up just little bit.
The Flash stood on one of the top terrace of the Watchtower, and as usual, bored out of his brains. "Things keep going as slow as they are," Wally told himself. "I'll just have to find something on my own!"
There wasn't much trouble, for maybe the FIRST time since the new Justice League was formed.
Flash was just about to scream of frustration when he saw Supergirl walking his way. Her head was down but she had quaint smile…a smile Flash knew too well.
"Hey, Kara." Flash said smoothly, leaning against the wall of the balcony.
Supergirl blinked and turned to look at Flash. She smiled, "Oh, hey Flash."
Flash smiled at the young blonde. She was growing up better than he had expected, her curves were more womanly. Supergirl's blonde hair had grown longer, two inches, and her eyes seemed to become more pure blue each time he saw her. She was definitely a young woman now.
Flash shook the thoughts from his head. Stop there, Flash, he thought. She is not for you like that. Besides, remember her cousin can kill you in one stroke…
Flash grinned. "What are you doing?"
Supergirl stepped back a little. "Nothing."
Flash snorted, "No, your up to something." Flash leaned forward to Supergirl. "I know a smile like that anywhere!"
Supergirl seemed to get nervous. "N-No! I'm not doing anything?"
Flash smirked. "Come on, kid. I can tell when somebody's up to something."
"Its nothing, really. I was just remembering I heard from Batman…" With that, Supergirl slowly walked away and then sped up.
"Hmmm…" Flash said as he gazed at the young blonde.
It was a slow, hot night in Smallville. No big surprise there. Pa and Ma Kent were sleeping soundly across the hallway and all Kara had to do was fly out of her window.
Kara flew pretty high, scanning over the hills and buildings until she saw her high school. A smile crossed Kara's face.
Kara flew down to the entrance of her school, smiling up at it all.
It was her senior year.
She would be graduating in a week.
Kara was just about to fly back up into the sky to start what she had been planning to do for months when she felt someone grab her arm.
"Hi ya!" Kara shouted as she threw her arm over her head and slammed the person onto the ground. Kara then pinned the person down by sitting on top of him or her.
"Whoa! Kid, watch it!"
Kara, confused, leaned forward as the light from the moon moved from behind a cloud.
Kara found herself sitting on a grinning, red-suited superhero…
"Flash! What are you doing here?" Kara asked.
Flash smirked. "What are you doing here?"
Kara's eyes narrowed. "I asked first. Did Kal send you to follow me?"
Flash shrugged, "No. I was bored so I decided to follow you."
"Bored?" Kara gave Flash a "go-away" look. "Why don't you go bother someone else?"
Flash laughed at this, "No! So far, I'm being pinned by a beautiful girl who's about to pull a school prank… I say its time for the King Prankster to help out his fellow teammates."
Kara blinked. "How did you-"
"Know?" Flash finished. "I pulled one on my own high school once upon a time! Now how about I get up? I know I'm cute and all but-"
Kara blushed at this but retorted, "Don't flatter yourself." Kara stood up but didn't bother to help up Flash, obviously mad that Flash found out what she was about to do.
Flash just laughed, standing up and dusting himself off. "Come on, kid! Let me help! I'm so bored up there," Flash pointed up into the sky with utter disgust. "That I was just about to pick a fight with Hawk or even Green Arrow!"
"Green Arrow can so kick your butt." Kara muttered.
"Only if he could catch me, kid." Flash announced cheerfully.
Kara sighed in defeat, "Fine. You can help me."
Flash let out a whoop of joy.
Kara had Flash by his arms, flying them both to the top of the roof. "Okay." Flash said, as they flew up. "What have you devised?"
Kara grinned. "Oh, just a little something."
"Oh, a little something, huh?" Flash grinned.
Kara laughed. "We have to secure main grounds first. And then we can collect our materials."
"Alright then." Flash jumped down onto the roof. Looking around, Flash spotted at what looked like…a chicken coop?
Flash gazed at Kara, "You really are living in the country, ain't ya'?"
Kara just grunted.
"So your school doesn't have camera's or anything?" Flash asked.
"No." Kara lifted a large gray pole from off the ground as Flash watched in amusement.
Kara glanced at Flash with question. "What?"
"What made you want to do this?" Flash asked.
Kara placed the large pole down with a smile. "Kal."
Flash blinked. "The big guy? Ole' clean-cut Superman?"
"That's the one." Kara laughed, "Pa and Ma Kent told me that right before graduation, Kal and a friend of his had pulled a prank." Kara smiled slyly, "He rigged for all the sprinklers to come on in the school so that everyone had to go outside to see all the teachers cars. The cars were all painted with the school colors and stood out on the front lawn of the school spelling out Kal's senior class number and the words ROCK. In the ground, Cal had dug a deep exclamation point after it."
"You've got to be kidding!" Flash laughed. "I would have never thought that Supes had it in him!"
Kara laughed. "What's even funnier is the fact that he did this during school!"
Flash grinned and placed an arm across Kara's shoulders. "Then I guess its up to you to beat Big Cousin Superman, huh?"
Kara smiled up at Flash, "You mean we, right?"
"Come on then!" Flash said, speeding around collecting the materials.
Kara was dead tired but even with that, she was so excited to get to school the next day. Kara could barely keep her eyes awake as she walked with Flash, who to her astonishment, was still up and about. Kara was just about to ask Flash a question about his high school when she started to fall forward. Flash, being quick as he always is, caught her before she hit the ground.
"Sorry." Kara yawned. "But I am so tired."
"Hey," Flash grinned at the blonde. "Your brilliant yet very complex prank had to be done!"
Kara looked up at Flash and smiled softly. "Thanks, Flash," Kara said as Flash carried Kara towards her house. Not even a second, Kara and Flash were in her bedroom.
Flash smiled back. "No, thank you, Kara. I don't think I've had so much since I slimed Green Lantern last April Fools!"
Kara leaned in towards Flash and with a tired smile, she said, "You called me Kara!"
Flash blinked and then started to blush a little pink in embarrassment. "Hey, you earned the right not to be called kid."
Kara laughed at this as she jumped down from Flash's arms and crawled into bed. "I'm not a kid no more, Flashie! I'll be graduating in one week! One week…" And with that, Kara fell asleep.
"Night Kara." Flash whispered, smiling before he took off.
The students piled in for their last day of school and finals. It seemed as if the day were longer than usual, especially to Kara, who had finished her test before anyone (again, just as usual).
Kara was so nervous!
What if she got caught?
Kara smiled and shook her head. No, she thought to herself. Flash and I were extra careful.
Kara looked at the classroom clock with two minutes till 3:45, when school would end.
Kara grinned as she heard a loud "moo." Kara looked around as she saw her classmates look around them and at each other in pure confusion.
"What was that?" Someone asked.
Everyone in the class started to get up and heading to the door. Even the teacher himself seemed to be curious about this noise.
"What in the world-" A boy named Chris said, opening the door into the hallway.
In through the back double doors of the school came rushing through were hundred of mooing cows with cowbells.
The hallway was filled with cows and students, who just laughed at the sight of it all.
"What is the meaning of this?" One teacher asked while another teacher was just laughing and scratching his head.
"Hey!" A football player yelled out, coming from outside the front of the school. "Come look outside!"
The students hurried the best they could between each cow and tumbled outside for a definite shock. Once outside, all the students and teachers turned to look up at the roof of the school to see a large pole rising up into the sky, seeming as if it were going through the roof, with the school flag waving from it proudly in the wind.
Three horses came galloping across the lawn, out of nowhere, pulling none other than the principals car. "My car!" The principal shouted in dismay, chasing after his car down the school front lot. One teacher just laughed out to the principal, "Edward! You should have car pooled!"
Then, roosters and chickens seemed to fly off the top of the roof! Endlessly raining down feathers and crackling chickens and roosters! Just as the last two roosters jumped down from the school, down came a tumbling banner with large black words painted on it.
Kara had to hold back her tears of joy as she gazed at her own words.
"Life Begins The Instant We Decide To Embrace The Future. So Live Your Life with Love, Pain, and Hope. I Love You All, My Fellow Graduating Seniors!"
Kara looked around to see the other Seniors gazing up with awe, laughter, and even tears.
It was the beginning of their new lives and it was glowing boldly before them. Their paths had many different directions with endless questions that they had to find.
"Life begins the instant we decide to embrace the future…" A voice whispered into Kara's ear.
Kara abruptly turned and looked up to see a handsome, tanned, red-haired young man laughing with a smile so familiar… His hands were stuffed into black jacket pockets, white T-Shirt, and he had on a pair of dark-blue denim jeans. On his feet, he wore black-white Chuck Taylors.
"Excuse me?" Kara said in confusion, looking around to see if anyone heard him.
"How can you forget such a beautiful specimen such as I?" The young man smiled as he leaned in towards Kara.
Kara's eyes slowly grew with realization. "Flash?" She whispered after she looked around.
"I like Wally." Wally laughed. "Wally West."
Kara threw her arms around Wally's neck, surprising him. "I could have never done it without you," Kara paused to pull back and look up at the young superhero. "…Wally." She tried out, smiling all the while.
Wally blushed as he laughed out loud. "Hey! I just tagged along. You were the brains on this little operation." As Kara let Wally go, Wally said, "Wanna get out of here?"
Kara grinned. "Yeah. I think I've made my point."
As they walked off, they could hear the Seniors hoots and hollers, the roosters crows, and fading moo's.
For the first time in Wally's life, he actually walked to his destination. Wally walked silently, listening to Kara as she talked on about how she didn't think something in the prank would work. Or that she had this nagging fear that they-rather her-would get caught.
Wally just nodded and smiled.
While he listened, Wally took in the sights of the beautiful land. The galloping horses he spotted from afar. The descending sun on the horizon. The glow of the sun against the blonde locks of Kara. For once, he was actually standing still long enough to see things beyond himself.
Here stood Kara; More mature than he; More beautiful than most because she was both magnificent outside and in; More confident of growing.
Nearing the Kent home, Kara let out a large sigh. Kara turned to Wally and laughed. "Someday you have to tell me about your high school prank."
"Yeah," Wally smiled. "I will."
Kara and Wally just stared at each other for a moment.
Wally coughed and looked away. "Yeah, well, I just wanted to stop by and see how it went." Wally looked back up with a large grin, "And I saw that it was a huge success."
"Yup," Kara grinned as she shyly slid her hands into her pockets. "And I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
"Me too." Wally then saluted Kara and flashed her his amazing pearls. "I'll catch you later, then." He then turned, ready to run back to his home, when he heard Kara say his name.
"Wally?"
Wally turned back around. "Yeah?" He asked.
Kara kissed Wally on the cheek and then ran back up her porch. Turning back around, Kara laughed out, "I think I fell for you, Wally West." She then opened her front door and ran into her home, leaving Wally with his hand to his cheek.
After a few seconds, Wally laughed sheepishly to himself. Turning, Wally thought to himself, I think I'm going to walk for a little bit.
When you have a moment where you stop and look around, you find that you've grown up just little bit.
