"oh my, haven't you gotten big"

A woman said...a very pretty woman said with a smilie gracing hear cranberry red stained lips. And her chestnut colored hair bounced as she turned her head to the short boy. Looking at him with deep blue eyes.

"Richard... You remember Mrs Colman"

"Miss"

"ah...of course, 'miss' Colman"

The man said in a flirtatious tone, the short boy next to him cleared his throat.

"may I play the piano?"

Bruce looked at the young boy for a second...then gave him a smile and a swift nod. Dick smiled back, walking off in the direction of the black grand piano...he couldn't help it when Bruce smiled.

"he's starting to look more an more like you Bruce"

"you think so?"

The man asked with his attention to his son making sure he made it to the piano.
On the other side of the room Dick sat at the piano in the room, observing the people that showed up...most he already met before. He even saw Clark and Lois getting information from guest trying to work there way to Bruce...well at least Lois was. Then there was Oliver queen...but no Roy harper...(what a bummer)..There were a handful of kids dicks age or older but that's about it...no one was even on stage yet...to busy being glamorous for the paparazzi. Rolling his eyes dick began to play 'A love suicide' the theme from a game called Rule of Rose, he and Wally played it one night at Mt J.."good times"

The boy noticed Bruce's occasional glances in his direction...it wasn't like anyone would kidnap him in public.
sighing...blue eyes scanning the room...

"Barry and Iris?"

And beside them was...Wally? Smiling brightly he stopped playing and got up, rushing and dodging people passing by, bruce noticing this, kept a close eye on the boy.

"WALLY"

"hey ro...er...Dick!"

The boy smiled up at his red headed friend and the two adults with him.

"were going to find a table ok kid-O, good seeing you Dickie"

"nice seeing you again Dick"
Iris said bending to hug the boy with a simile they both left the two boys alone. Wally looked at the shorter boy...his expression was of, confusion?

"umm...Wally, where are your freckles"

"i...umm, hidden..."

"why?"

Wally didn't know how to answer, the boy was still looking at him with questioning eyes with a hint of...sadness or was it anger?

"I...didn't wanna stick out in a...you know...uppity crowd"

Pieces of the red hair started to stick out from the boys bang. Furious, the shorter boy grabbed him by the hand leading him to the snack table.

"wait! Wait! Dick whats up!"

The raven haired boy turned and grabbed a fist full of napkins and turned back to the red head...grabbing his chin...he began whipping the makeup from his face.
Wally was shocked. Why was rob so mad about this? Wally grabbed the boy by the hands...green eyes was met with a pair of blue angry ones.

"dude...what's up...?"

The shorter boy looked away as he spoke.

"don't...why would you be..."he turned to look at his friend...showing the hurt expression in his blue eyes.."ashamed...you should be proud of how you look wally...never ashamed...your freckles are what make you 'You'...my best friend...its why I..."

He closed his eyes stopping himself from completing what he was going to say. Wally just sat there unknowing what to say...this was how his friend felt...(what was he...was he going to say...) Wally smiled...letting go of the boys hands...he spoke up still smiling.

"alright, how about I go wash this crud off"

The boy opened his eyes and looked at the red head for a minute...and smiled back and gave a nod. Wally noticed the tears in the boys eyes when...the lights went out, then back on, but only dimmer and darker.

"what the! uuuh...did the room just change!"

Dick snickered at his friends expression and gave him a push...(it must be twelve)

"just go already"

"ok ok sheesh"

Smiling Wally gave the boy a salute, Dick watched him disappear through the crowd...was he really going to confess to him? Bitting his lip..Dick rubbed a hand over his slicked back hair.

"it's gonna be a long night.."
