Lightning Lad cocked an eyebrow at his dancing friend. That's right, Bouncing Boy was dancing! Even though it was pretty good dancing it was still strange. Why would Bouncing Boy of all people, be dancing? Weird.
"What's with you?" he noticed his best friend and former leader's good mood. Bouncing Boy only smiled and started to dance.
"Nothing," Bouncing Boy sung as he tangoed to his room. Lightning Lad stood there scratching his head with his robotic arm, with a confused look. What is going on with Bouncy? One minute he's decorating with Triplicate Girl, the next, he's doing the tango and singing. Dang! What did that girl do to him? Speaking of a girl, where's Imra? She wanted to see him for some reason but didn't say why.
"Maybe Timber Wolf knows," Lightning Lad headed towards the kitchen where Timber Wolf was doing his part to prepare for the dance. He was baking heart shaped cookies, icing a heart shaped cake, was making brownies, and other kinds of sweets. Lightning Lad greeted his good friend and asked if he's seen Imra.
"Nah, but Brainy might know where she is. Why don't you ask him," Brin offered. Lightning Lad nodded, thanked Brin, and then complimented on his cooking saying that everything looked and smelled great. Brin smiled proudly as Lightning Lad walked out the door in search of the boy genius. It took a while but after a few minutes of wondering the halls, Lightning Lad stumbled onto the boy genius.
"Hey, Brainy, have you seen Imra?" Brainiac 5 looked from the packet of papers he was reading.
"I believe she's on monitor duty. Oh, by the way, she asked about you," Lightning Lad smiled and nodded. Brainy continued to walk down the halls as he skimmed through the papers and disappeared into his lab. Lightning Lad could wipe off the smirk that seemed to spread across his face. She asked about him! This can only mean one thing. A hot make-out session! Lightning Lad shook his head in agreement with himself and an even bigger smile covered his face. He quickly made his way to the monitor room where Saturn Girl was sitting in a huge chair watching for anything unusual. Lightning Lad tipped-toed behind her and covered both her eyes. A small gasp left her mouth and the room suddenly got dark.
"Guess who," a familiar male voice whispered. She smiled and shifted in her chair. She put her hands on the pair that covered her eyes and tried to pull them down but wouldn't budge.
"No cheating," the male voice whispered. She put her hands down in defeat. She knew who he was but she wanted to play a little longer. She was luring and her boyfriend was taking the bait so perfectly. She smiled playfully and a devious planned popped in her head. She put one hand and felt his face.
"Well, you're too hairy to Cos. Too tall to be Brainy or Bouncing Boy. Maybe Garth," he smiled. Now he understood two can play at this game. Still covering her eyes, he was feeling playful.
"Maybe, maybe not, how do you know I'm not Cos," still with his hands covering her vision he smiled and awaiting her answer.
"Well, first of all, you sound nothing like him, your too muscular, hairy, and I think I know my own boyfriend when I hear him," he smiled pleased with this answer and dropped his hands onto her shoulders. She turned her chair around to face her love. She got up and went into his arms wrapping her arms around his neck and laying her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and took his index finger and lifted her head so she would look into his eyes. She looked deep into his eyes before he pulled her into a deep kiss. Lightning Lad pulled her close as she wrapped herself in his arms. Saturn Girl was the one who broke the kiss. Lightning Lad looked down and saw an angel in his arms. She smiled in the most perfect way, her hair was long and wavy soft, her eyes are things that pull you in, and don't even get him started on her perfect body. But out of that, what really got him was that kind, sweet, most wonderful personality she had. She thought of everyone but herself.
"What's wrong Garth?" she asked in that sweet, sweet voice that just drives him crazy with love. Dang, he loves her so much.
"No, everything's perfect," he leaned in to her another kiss but she playfully pulled back teasing him. He smiled trying to catch her but she got out his grip. He started to chase her around.
"Garth! Stop it!" she screamed playfully. Lightning Lad just laughed at this comment and ran faster. When he also caught her she screamed again.
"Garth! I'm supposed to be on monitor duty and…," before she could finish he had his arms wrapped around her stomach and pulled her against his chest. He caught her. Struggled against his grip but couldn't get loose. He smiled.
"You're not going anywhere. You still owe me a kiss," Lightning Lad loved when she played hard to get. She always so cute. She smiled and turned to look at her capturer.
"This isn't the time or place to do this Garth," she whispered hoping he'll let go. He smiled. She was pretty slick. For a second he thought about but only tightened his grip on her and pulled her closer. A small gasped quickly left her mouth as he pulled her close. There's only one thing to do now. She took her right arm and cradled his head as she kissed him at an angle. He deepened the kiss as she kissed back whole-heartedly. She broke the kiss and wrapped her arm through his and started to pull him towards the exit. Lightning Lad completely lost at his girlfriend's behavior slightly resisted.
"Imra, where are we going?" she sweetly smiled at him.
"Tonight's the Valentine's Day dance and I need help picking out my dress," Lightning Lad eyes widened. He had forgotten all about the dance. She had been talking about it for weeks now and he forgot! What kind of a boyfriend is he? Oh, no! He needs to think fast!
"Oh, yeah! Sure Imra, I can help," she cocked and firmly put her hand on her hips as she narrowed her eyes. Uh-oh, now he's in trouble. Lightning Lad didn't make eye contact as he scratched the back of his head.
"Garth, you forgot, didn't you?" strangely she didn't sound mad; she sounded sort of…sad. Lightning Lad looked at his beloved and signed. He could never lie to her.
"I'm sorry Imra. It just slipped my mind," her facial expressions lightened a bit as she looked at her boyfriend's sincere face. She kissed him on the cheek and whispered.
"It's ok. Now come help me pick out a dress," he smiled as she pulled down the hall disappearing into her room. She sat him down onto her bed and told him to stay put while she goes put on the dresses. She walked into the bathroom where she had 6 beautiful dresses. She tried on the first dress that was short and tight. Lightning Lad eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"Like it?" she teased as she saw his face. Lightning Lad eyes quickly skimmed her body. He's always thought that she was gorgeous but now, words could describe the way she looked.
"You have no idea," she figured he would say that. She never understood why boys always like short and tight clothes. She just rolled her eyes.
"What?" Lightning Lad raised his hands in the air. She turned around with her arms crossed and narrow eyes that were shoot daggers at her boyfriend.
"Why do always pick the short and tight clothes? It's like you're trying to show me off," she was mad now. He could see it.
"Imra, you're my girlfriend! Is wrong for me to want to show you off? I mean look at you," she struck him hard and fast. He could have sworn she let a hand imprint on his face. Oh great, she's really mad now.
"What am I? A trophy!" she walked into the bathroom and slammed the door. He tried to grab her wrist but she was too fast and slammed the door on his face. He knocked on the door but there was no answer from her.
"Imra, Imra listen to me. I didn't mean it like that!" she locked the bathroom door in response. He signed. Today wasn't his day. He tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Go away Garth!" she yelled through the door. He backed up a few steps.
"Imra, I'm not leaving until you come out," He was determined to get her out the bathroom. He wanted to apologize to her face to face. It took a few seconds but the door finally slid open. Imra stood there leaning against the door fame with her arms crossed. She took a deep breath.
"What?" the poison slowly dripped from her words. Garth flinched from the harshness but regained himself. He put his wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
"Imra, I didn't mean it like that. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world with you. I feel like I can move mountains. And…, look, how about you pick out the dress and I'll pick you up say…8:30?" she looked up at him seeing that he was really concern. She nodded as he loosened his grip letting walk to the bathroom. She stopped mid-way and looked back and smiled.
"Thanks Garth," walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Lightning Lad smiled at her comment feeling less guilty. He decided to head to his room to ready for the dance. As he made his way down the hall, Lightning Lad thought of how lucky he was with Imra as his girlfriend.
The Dance
Lightning Lad stood next to Timber Wolf at the door waiting for their dates. He nervously shifted from heel to heel hoping Imra wasn't still too mad from this morning. Timber Wolf noticed his friend's behavior and decided to see what was going on.
"What's with you?" Lightning Lad looked at his fury friend and saw great concern in his eyes. Lightning Lad pulled on his collar of his tuxedo and signed.
"I really ticked off Imra this morning and I hope…," Lightning Lad's sentence was interrupted by the doors opening. There stood two figures. One figure had a long light pink dress with pink eye shadow and red lipstick. The other wore a white dress with black eye shadow. They both had their hair down and walked towards their dates. The first one to reach their date was Phantom Girl. She grabbed Timber Wolf's arm and pulled him away into a corner. She was trying to get him alone to make-out with no doubt! The second one came and wrapped herself in Lightning Lad's arms. He smiled.
"You have no idea what that dress is doing to me right now," she giggled and hung onto him tighter. She rubbed her head against his chest and closed her eyes. He held her there for a few moments until his stomach decided to ruin the moment.
"I'm going to get something to eat. Don't go anywhere," she giggled as he walked to the refreshment table. He got a plate and filled it up with all kinds of sweets and even got Imra's favorites. As he turned around, he saw something that was infuriating. Cosmic Boy was talking to Saturn Girl. Why is he talking to Saturn Girl? Wait a second, did Saturn Girl just laugh? Is Cos, is Cos flirting with Saturn Girl? No, he can't be. Could he? She laughed again. He is flirting with her! Unbelievable! Comic Boy is flirting with his girl! Lightning Lad dropped his plate full of food and stormed off towards them. A fast song came on as Lightning Lad quickly made his way to Saturn Girl. Cosmic Boy was about to ask if she wanted to dance but Lightning Lad grabbed her and spun her around and started dancing. He did a dance with a lot of spins and dips. He held her closely and made sure Cosmic Boy saw every move they made together. The message was clear. She was taken. After the music slowed down he pulled her even closer.
"You're pretty hot when you're jealous," she teased as she snuggled in closely. He chuckled.
"I wasn't jealous. I just wanted to dance," hopefully she'll leave it at that. She smiled and pulled his face close to hers forcing him to look deep into her eyes.
"And 'Hey Imra, do you want to dance' wouldn't have worked?" he laughed pulling into a passionate kiss. The kiss as always was slow and sweet. With every brush of their lips, happiness filled them. It seemed that time itself had stopped just for them. She slowly pulled away from his warm lips and smiled so sweetly.
"You're bad," she teased. He chuckled at her remark. He laid his forehead on hers while their noses touched.
"Isn't that why you like me? Because I take risk," she giggled playfully pushed his chest causing him to stumble back. He smiled at this playful action.
"I don't just like you for taking risk. I love you for you," Lightning Lad smiled and grabbed Saturn Girl from behind and started kissing her all over the face. She bent over with laughter.
"Ag! Garth no! Stop it," she squeaked with laughter. Lightning Lad spun her around and brought her closely as possible.
"I love Imra," he said with all his heart. She whispered something back.
"I love you too, Garth," she kissed him with all her love from him. As he kissed her back with all his heart, he felt a wave of happiness go through him. He was truly the luckiest guy in the world because he had her.
