It was Donna's birthday. I was at loss of what to get her, last year I just got her a gift certificate and she gave me ' the look'. The my best friend in really didn't put much thought into this type of look. I did not want that to happen again this year. I tried to call Diana for help but she was in some other realm, Justice League business. So I decided to call Cassandra, after all she was really close to Donna. I dialed the number and after three rings Cassie picked up
" Hi this Cassie."
" Cassie it's Dick.."
" Dick..? Oh right Dick. What's up?"
I guess it took her a while for the name to register. Even though she knew my secret identity she was much more use to me as Nightwing.
" I need your help.
Can you come to Gotham?"
" Yeah sure what do you need my help
with?"
" Present for Donna."
She laughed for a while.. I couldn't help but think how charming her laugh was.
" Yeah, sure.. But you'll owe me one.hmm where should we meet up.?"
" How about outside the Gotham Heights mall on fourth street"
" Okay.."
" Thanks Cassie bye"
" Bye"
I hung up and then got changed. I wore a green shirt, black pants, and a black leather jacket. I also put on some shades and then left for the mall. I stood outside wondering if she would recognize me outside of costume. I soon saw her walking up, she was in a short white skirt, high heels, a pink shirt with and white jacket over it. Cassie looked cute, almost like a doll. I went up to her because she clearly either didn't see me or didn't recognize.
" Hey Wondy.."
She smiled at me.
" It's Cassie mister. I usually don't come to Gotham it's so .. different then Gateway City."
" Yeah I suppose but I'm use to it."
" You would be. You grew up here. So we're shopping for Donna?"
" Yeah I got no idea what to get her.."
" Typical male. So did I'm guessing you heard about Donna and Roy?"
" Yeah, they're getting married. Poor Donna she's going to have her hands full with Roy."
" You said it. But she seems excited I just hope it works out well."
" We all do.."
I put my arm around her shoulder she didn't seem to mind. We went into a few stores looking at jewelry, make-up, and clothes. I ended up buying Donna a new outfit that Cassie said she would like and Cassie bought her necklace with a pendant on it saying' Diana, Donna, and Cassie – Sisters and it had a little heart on it. Very cutesy and soooo like her. After we finished I smiled at her. I actually had fun shopping with her and I never have fun shopping.
" Thanks a lot for your help Cassie."
' Hold on one minute. You still owe me."
" Oh really? And what pre tale do I owe you?"
" You're taking me out to dinner."
I shrugged.
" Fine with me"
We went out of the mall and towards a restaurant which Cassie wanted to go to.
