Okay, so I finally got this chapter up! I hope you enjoy it, and thank you to everyone who left any suggestions as to what could happen at a bachelor party. Thank you again, and remember, please review!

Tradition Number 8: When it comes to the bachelor/bachelorette party, the entire evening is planned by the friends and the said bachelor/bachelorette cannot do anything to stop them.

Artemis still can't get over the whole 'being engaged' thing.

Seriously, she actually can't stop looking at the elegant diamond ring on her hand, and she's had it there for like, six months. It feels like a weight on her hand, reminding her that yes, she is going to get married.

And it's like, a huge deal, because her family hasn't really had the best history in marriages (you know, her mom and dad, and then the whole Jade and Roy thing.)

But Artemis is determined to make this work out. She knows will stick with Wally till the very end, and probably even after that, seeing as they've each both come back from the dead.

Whenever she's with Wally now, everything feels… intense. It's like they just started their relationship again. Every time Artemis sees Wally now, it feels like she's got a dozen butterflies raging war in her stomach. She can barely breath when he's there, which is pretty annoying seeing as she lives with him.

And it so does not help that whenever she and Wally are together her friends keep shooting her smirks and knowing glances.

It's not a bad feeling though. Artemis is pretty sure she's happy, and she doesn't think that she's ever been this happy in her life.

A couple of years ago, she would have retched at how desperate and in love she sounds, but then again, a couple of years ago Artemis hadn't met and lost Wally; she hadn't known that it was possible to love someone this much.

So yeah, Artemis is scared, worried, happy and ecstatic all at the same time, and really, she doesn't want it to ever end.

Even though it was Artemis' wedding, Artemis was doing a lot of not-planning. In the first few weeks of being engaged, she had her whole wedding details all planned out. Artemis wanted a quiet, low-key affair on the beach, without much fanfare and all that. She and Wally had a low-budget, so she was more than happy to wear her mom's old wedding dress.

Then Oliver Queen came on the scene, assuring her that no niece of his was going to have a low-budget wedding, so Artemis' wedding plans came crashing around her feet.

Now, Artemis was having a huge wedding on the Queen's private beach, and all the League and team members were invited. She was getting a specially designed wedding dress from some famous designer (Artemis vaguely remembered the designers name as Vera something) a gourmet three-course meal at her reception, and she was pretty sure that she heard Dinah say something about fireworks.

To sum it all up, her wedding had been hi-jacked by her friends and family.

It was exactly one day before the wedding, and Artemis was with her mom, Mary, Dinah, Zatanna and M'gnn, discussing last minute wedding details. It pretty much meant everyone was screaming at each other while Artemis ignored them all and texted Wally, who was preparing for his bachelor's night with Dick, Conner and Roy.

"They don't have any more orchids, apparently the last ones died-" Mary said frantically.

"What kind of flower services has dead orchids? Oh, God! What are we going to do?" M'gnn cried.

"Tell them to send the dead orchids; I'll magic them to life."

"And what about the catering service? They called to say they haven't gotten any lamb kebabs!" M'gnn said again, her knuckled going a paler green over the phone she was holding.

"What about the prawn cakes?" Paula suggested

"No, we can't serve seafood as a starter; we already have a seafood dish!" Dinah snapped.

"Ugh, this is a disaster!" Mary wailed.

Artemis rolled her eyes and went back to texting Wally. She had no idea of when they all became food experts, but apparently, planning a wedding does strange things to you.

Someone tapped her shoulder and Artemis looked up, startled.

"Have you been listening to anything we've been saying?" Paula asked her, sounding very much like the scolding mother she usually was.

"Nope," Artemis said, unabashedly.

Paula rolled her eyes at her and went back to discussing napkin arrangements with Mary and M'gnn. Artemis yawned loudly, tipping her chair backwards. She supposed she should be feeling super nervous with her wedding being tomorrow and everything, but seriously, it was hard to get excited when people were talking about freaking flower arrangements.

Zatanna smirked at her, casually popping a grape that was sitting on the table in her mouth, "I sincerely hope that you're not that tired when it comes to your bachelorette party."

Artemis shot her a quizzical look, "I thought my bachelorette party was a quiet, sophisticated affair with my family."

Zatanna snorted, "No. I mean the party Raquel, M'gnn and I planned."

"What is it?"

"It's a surprise, Artemis. And I'm not going to ruin it for you. So be a good girl and pay attention to the boring details of your wedding, okay?"

Artemis kicked Zatanna under the table and Zatanna retaliated by poking her tongue out at her.

When Dick said bachelor party, two things came to Wally's mind: alcohol and strippers.

Now, the alcohol bit Wally could do without, seeing as his speedster metabolism meant that he couldn't get drunk no matter how much he drunk (which was both a good and bad thing at collage parties) but he was still expecting some sweet strippers.

What he got was even better.

It started off at the Wayne Manor, where Wally arrived early so he and Dick could prepare for the night, which really meant that he and Dick played COD and texted Artemis.

"Dude, I can't believe you're getting married," Dick told him.

"I can't believe that you just got killed by the guy on the other team. Are you even paying attention?" [A/N I should probably mention here that I have never played Call of Duty in my life and have no idea of what the game is about. Sorry!]

"I'm serious. How did you know she was the one?"

Wally cocked his head to the side, thinking for a moment, "I think I really knew when I was in the speed force. I couldn't do anything, and she was the only thing I could think about. When I got out, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her."

"So what about Jinx and Linda?"

Wally shuddered, "Please, don't ever talk about Jinx again. That was one mistake I really didn't need to make."

"And Linda? You were so close to proposing to her!" Dick prompted.

"Hmm… she was good. But not the right person for me. There was something missing, and really, only Artemis had it."

Dick looked at him sideways, "Dude, you're in way too deep."

Wally chucked his popcorn at him, "Trust me, when you find the right one, you'll be exactly like me. In fact, you'll probably be completely enticed by the magic of your woman."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Dick said indignantly.

"You'll see."

Dick retaliated by chucking his popcorn at him.

The door opened, and Alfred walked in, escorting Roy and Conner with him.

"Master Richard, you're friends have arrived," he said.

"Thanks, Alfred. We'll probably be leaving soon, kay?"

"Of course," Alfred said, walking away.

Conner and Roy greeted Wally and Dick enthusiastically, and then made themselves comfortable in the room.

"So, when are we leaving?" Roy asked.

"I have to go get changed. Did you bring the suit?" Dick asked.

"Yep," Conner said, producing a green bag.

Conner chucked the bag at Wally, "Get changed. We're going to hit the town tonight," he said.

In less than 20 seconds, Wally changed into the comfortable (and probably designer) suit. He didn't bother asking Dick about how he knew his size, because Wally doubted that there was anything that the Bats didn't know. He had combed and gelled his hair, and was now following Dick to the Wayne's personal airport.

Soon, Roy, Conner Wally and Dick had boarded the privet jet, and were being served alcoholic beverages as the plane took off.

"Dick, seriously, where the hell are we going?" Wally asked, stuffing his face with the roast lamb that had been presented to him.

"Two words amigo: strippers and casinos," Dick said, giving his signature cackle.

Wally's eyes went round with excitement, "No freaking way. We're actually?"

"Yep," Roy said smugly, reclining back in his seat, "We're going to Vegas."

It was technically Artemis' last night of freedom, and to be honest, she was a tad bit disappointed to be spending it like this. She loved being with her family and friends, and the restaurant they were at was really, really nice, but all of it was just so… not her.

She felt bad thinking it, but she was kind of relieved when the night finally ended.

Artemis left the fancy restaurant, hoping to hail a cab so she could go back home, when she felt Zatanna grab her elbow.

"Where do you think you're going? The night's not over yet!" Zatanna said manically.

Artemis grinned at her and allowed Zatanna to drag her down to an abandoned alley where M'gnn and Raquel were waiting for her.

"Where are we going?" Artemis asked.

"Patience, grasshopper. All will be revealed. But first, Zatanna, I think a change of clothes is in order?" Raquel said.

Zatanna nodded and quickly said, "Egnahc ruo stifuo onti gnithgif raeg!"

Smoke swirled around them, and Artemis looked down to see that they were all wearing matching black skin-tight uniforms and black masks.

"And I think we also need a little transportation?" M'gnn prompted, grinning at Artemis wickedly.

Zatanna said, "Ekat su ot eht gnithgif anera!"

Smoke swirled around them again, and Artemis completely lost her bearings. When she was finally steady enough to be able to see where she was, Artemis nearly gasped out loud.

She was standing next to them in a crowded, loud place. There were tons of strange looking creatures and even stranger looking drinks, with lots of yelling and everything you could imagine. There was a main podium in the centre of the stage, where Artemis could see two aliens battling each other.

"Welcome to Rimbor's inter-galactic fighting competition," Raquel said.

"Guys…" Artemis trailed off, looking around her in wonder.

"Don't you like it?" M'gnn asked worriedly.

Artemis laughed, grinning in satisfaction, "This is so perfect! I l love it! I just have one question though," Artemis grinned wickedly at the group, "why aren't we fighting?"

Right, sorry for ending it there, but I really didn't want to go into the whole stripper and fight club scene, so you guys are just going to have to imagine what would have happened. Anyway, I have a big chapter that I've been wanting to write for quite a while now, and I can finally start it! Please leave any kind of feedback!
