Dick and Kory had spent their time talking about various memories, well, Kory especially since Dick didn't remember them all. Never the less, Gar hadn't appeared since he left while they were lining up for lunch, and he was nowhere to be seen. She tried to hide it, but Dick noticed how worried she was.

"He's probably just at the bathroom."

"Yeah, yeah, but not even him takes that much time." Kory said with a fake smile.

From the distance Raven and Roy could be seen running towards them.

"Oh look, Raven and Roy." Dick pointed, brining Kory's face to lit up a bit. She narrowed her eyes, trying to get a clear vision from their expressions.

"They seemed worried." She commented, standing up. Dick noticed this too, and stood up as well. Roy reached the table almost toppling Dick off his feet. Richard stopped him and tried to calm him down. His breathing was heavy and un even.

"What the hell Roy?" Dick said. Roy waved his arm trying to let the words fall out, but somehow they couldn't.

"Raven, what is going on?" Kory turned to look at the weird behavioral girl. Raven was also exhausted. She plopped down on the chair as soon as she got to the table.

"Garfield…. Fang…. Fight… auditorium." Her words were interrupted with shallow breaths and Kory's eyes widened. Dick stopped to think about it.

Wait.. Fang? Isn't that..

Kory grabbed his wrist and dragged him out.

"They're going to kill each other!" She said as she ran. Dick snapped back to reality and followed her to the auditorium.

This can't be any good.

Reaching the auditorium, the only thing Dick could see through the blur that was caused by Kory's running and dragging him, was a mixture of colors. He still tried to think about it while he was at it.

So Gar, is Kory's boyfriend. Kitten hates Kory, which means Gar and Fang..

Richard mentally slapped himself and realized everything.

This is bad.

Kory pulled Richard into the auditorium and noticed something. There was no one fighting. In fact, Fang couldn't even be seen, not even Gar either. Before he or Kory could say anything, Victor grabbed her by the waist and pulled her forward, covering her eyes with his hands.

"Victor! Let me go!" Kory fought but Victor laughed and kept pulling her forward, making her stop in the middle of the auditorium. Richard questioned all of this, as he just stood dumb founded there.

"Enjoying the show?" Raven told him from behind. Richard's heart lept and he turned around.

"What's going on?" He asked. Raven didn't say anything but she looked forward, and that's when Richard saw it.

A gigantic cardboard with hand painted letter in blue and pink very well decorated that was hung up across the stage. The word DANCE? Was spelled out and Kory covered her mouth filled with joy. Gar submerged from behind the stage with a rose in his hands. Kory tackled him and hugged him tight, as he laughed and returned the hug.

For once, Richard felt happy. He knew Starfire wasn't his in this world, but he was still his friend. And sincerely, he got to know her so much better like this, without leaving the friend zone.

Gar broke the hug and knelt to the ground.

"AW!" Kole and Karen said in a chorus watching from behind as Gar took Kory's hand in his, elevating the rose.

"Kory… would you go to the dance with me?" He said, smiling widely.

"Yes" She hugged Gar once again and started whispering in his ear "yes, yes yes yes." Garfield looked at Dick, as he flashed him a thumbs up. Garfield returned the gesture and laughed, planting a kiss on top of Kory's head.

He better not let her go

When Garfield and Kory broke apart from their hug, they noticed how almost all of their friends were there watching.

"So, I guess were getting a limo huh?" Victor said patting Garfield on the back.

"I don't know. Mr. Fang might be obliged to stand on a traffic driveway with a sign that says: DANCE only to make kitten win." Garfield said as he put an arm around Kory.

"Don't be so sure." Kole pointed at Mr. Whales, who was part of the Dance organization, who also seemed to be arguing with Kitten. Richard analyzed her face. She looked nervous, almost like… jealous. At one point, Mr. Whales threw his hands to the air and left Kitten talking alone, walking towards the group of friends. Kitten stomped the floor furiously and the teacher ignored her.

"Children." He said straightening his tie. "I have the honor to give you, Garfield Logan, along with your friends, the opportunity to a trip in a limo the day of the dance." Victor high fived Jericho and Kory smiled.

"Congratulations." He shook Gar's hand firmly. "Report to the Principal's office at the last period for the official document." Then, he walked away, leaving bottled up joy within the teenagers.

"So.." He turned to look at them. "Guess who are getting a limo for one whole day?" The group of friends cheered and clapped, sharing their joy. Richard was grateful that, even in a world where he wasn't a hero anymore, the titans still were close, a big happy family.

And that's when he understood.

Nothing could ever change that.
