Dick's POV

I knocked on Barbara's door hesitantly, I had been chasing after her for so long but now that I had her I wasn't sure I wanted her like that. As usual, she was at the door in no time. When she swung the door opened she smiled and hugged me.

"I knew that you wouldn't choose that Zatanna girl over me!" She said.

"Um, about that," I started.

"Wait, you aren't coming here to break up with me are you? That would be a total, well no pun intended, dick move."

At that I sighed and frowned, I felt so guilty about trying to break up with her. I've known her almost all my life and here I was about to break her heart.

"Look Babs, it's nothing personal but this just isn't working out for me anymore."

"What do you mean this isn't working out for you?" She yelled. "Things were going perfectly between us until you kissed Zatanna, we hadn't even had a fight yet. Just because some pretty girl kissed you doesn't mean that you need to make me feel like it's my fault that you want to break things off."

"You know it's not like that," I started.

"Of course it's like that, if we wouldn't have had that party you wouldn't be breaking up with me right now. If you want to break up with me fine, I won't stop you but I'm not going to go back to being just your friend we're done."

"Don't be petty, we can still be friends."

"Petty? Petty? How am I petty? You're literally breaking up with me for the first girl other than me that has ever paid any attention to you. If anyone is being anything it's you, and that's called being shallow."

I shook my head in disbelief there was no way in hell my best friend, who has been for most of my life, was calling me shallow and saying that she never wanted to see me again. Before I could think of a response she had already slammed the door on me. I took a few moments to recollect myself and then I left her house. This was starting out to be a really terrible day.

Although, I knew just what would fix that. I called Wally and asked him to come over to my house to hang out. Wally was always able to help me clear my mind and relax, I guess that's what friends are for.

Wally's POV

Things did not go down the way that I expected. Once Linda opened the door and invited me in I saw boxes, which I assumed were for moving, all over the house.

"Linda you aren't moving are you?" I asked.

"I sure am, first thing tomorrow I'm moving to California. My dad got a job offer that he couldn't refuse. He asked me if I had any reason to stay, so I told him I couldn't think of any and just like that we're moving."

She seemed to be very angry, so I asked, "No reason to stay? What about me?"

"You don't even want me anymore Wally, let's be honest. The only reason we got together was to get experience with dating someone and we did that. Now, you've found someone you actually like and you were going to dump me anyway. That's why you're here isn't it?' Just listen, I get that you want what you want and that isn't me, but don't insult me by breaking up with me. I am officially breaking up with you, I'm cutting all ties and I'm changing my number. When I go to California I don't want to have any baggage."

I was in utter shock, there was no way I was hearing this right. Linda was moving? She was cutting all ties including me? Just like that? After all we had been through? I couldn't believe it, this wasn't what I wanted at all. Her stone expression wavered for a bit as she said, "Goodbye Wally West, it was nice knowing you." She then placed a kiss on my cheek and pushed me out the door.

Next thing I knew I had just gotten home and Dick called me asking me to hang out. I couldn't agree fast enough, a bro night was exactly what I needed to clear my head. I was going to head there right after having a shower and eating supper.
