Gotham City

Dick smiled as he waited for Zatanna, his girlfriend for a year, but if you count the time that dated for four years before they broke up. She opened the door to see in a nice dark blue dress that just appeared above her knees, a black leather jacket, and matching cut out heel.

"You look beautiful."

"You told me to dress fancy. So why is that again?"

"That is a secret for now."

"Can you just tell me a little bit?", she pouted.

"All I can say is it is going to be a big night. My lady?", he said as he held out his arm.

She smiles and hooks her arm with his.

"What a gentleman."


They are currently at Gotham's best restaurant. Dick orders Zatanna's favorite wine. Right now they have dessert. Zatanna orders her favorite strawberry shortcake, and Dick orders the devil food cake.

"What are you planning?"

"You'll find out."


Dick has Zatanna's eyes blindfolded as he leads her to a special place.

"Where are we going?"

"I will explain right now", he said as he took off the blindfold.

She let out a little gasp as she saw a beautiful field with a blanket with candles.

"This place is beautiful."

"I found it, when Bruce adopted me. It helps me think. You are the first person that I ever showed this place", he explained as they sat down.

Dick then turns around and grabs something. He then pulled out a beautiful guitar.

"Dick?"

"This song reminds me of you."

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart

It's the end of the world in my mind

Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call

I've been looking for the answer

Somewhere

I couldn't see that it was right there

But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again

Cuz of you, made it through every storm

What is life, what's the use if you're killing time

I'm so glad I found an angel

Someone

Who was there when all my hopes fell

I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live, I live

Because you live there's a reason why

I carry on when I lose the fight

I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live, I live

Zatanna has a big smile as tears well up in her eyes.

"Because of you, I have a reason to come home, be more careful on missions, and just be happy. So, Zatanna Zatar, will you marry me?", he said as he pulled out a golden ring with a big diamond on it.

"Yes. I will marry you", she answers, her voice cracking as tears slip down.

He slip on the ring as he gave her a kiss full love and joy.
