Richard had spent a lot of time in this other world, and his worry about where he was, or the reason why he was there, were fading away to nothing. He did miss his friends, and his life as a super hero, but being a normal teenager, going to school and being able to walk around the streets with no mask or worries, was something he never got to felt. Becoming Robin, the Dark Knight's apprentice, meant leaving his normal teenager life behind. There were times when Bruce let Dick have his moments; he almost described them as father-to-son moments, which were impossible for the teenager. Bruce had a soft side, and Richard liked the fact that that was the only side he had in this world. He was still creeped out when he first saw him, not to mention the way he acted, and the person he was married to, but he got used to it by now.

The time that was supposed to be spent figuring a way out of this strange dimension, was spent hanging out with friends, parties and most of all, school. Richard still had no idea of how he was going to get out of this, but he didn't care that much. He had his friends; he had his family, what could go wrong.

Right?

After the group of teenagers had their victory announced for the limo, the next weeks were full of tux fitting appointments for almost all of the guys. Surprisingly, Richard didn't have a date still, but he figured that he wouldn't be the only one going alone.

A week after, the guys decided to go all on a shopping trip, forced by the girls. They decided they didn't want any of them to be alone, trying out tuxedos and being dragged around watching dresses, so they took a day to meet up and go all together.

Richard walked through the mall, trying to find the food court, where all his friends were waiting for him. As he walked through the various shops and food stands, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, he looked at little strands of pink hair covering some cat like eyes.

Jinx?

"Scared you?" Her clothes were almost the same. A long sleeved black striped shirt and a black skirt, though her eyes were a beautiful shade of pink, almost unnatural for any human, and her hair, also pink, fell to her shoulders.

"Not really. So uhm, where have you been?"

Jinx gave him a look, and then sighed. "Oh, Wally told me about how you hit your head and forgot about 50% everything that was going on."

Richard laughed sarcastically. "Such a great friend." He said.

"Well you are pretty clumsy." She elbowed him. "If you need to know, I was taken to India, well, dragged by my parents. We had some lost family members over there, and guess who met them?"

Jinx is from India?

"Oh, cool." He said.

"So how's school been? New couples? New enemies? Anyone pregnant?"

Richard laughed at that last remark. "I don't remember anyone saying they're pregnant."

"Oh, then I didn't miss THAT much." She said. They took a turn and saw a large group of teenagers sitting by two tables arranged.

"Jinx!" Wally waved and ran towards her quickly.

Jinx left Richards side and went to meet him too, crashing in a hug and kiss. Richard smiled.

Why am I not surprised.

He walked and skipped the kissing couple directly to the table.

"Yo Dickie." Victor pushed his back friendly. Richard rubbed it in pain, but managed to smile. Kory, Raven, Jericho and Garfield sat on the table and some other titans were scattered around the food court.

"So where are we going first?" Karen said.

"Easy, let's just pick the guys suits; we're much faster on that anyway."

"I'm okay with that." Raven stood up and waved at the divided teenagers, who made their way to the table. When she turned around she saw Wally and Jinx at the table.

"Done with your make out session?" She said with a devilish grin.

"Well, I missed you too Rae." Jinx said with an equally evil grin as well.

"Okay guys let's get moving."

"Would you come out now?"

"No. I look stupid."

"Wally."

"What?"

"For me?"

"…No."

"Wally get out of there now!"

"Okay fine, geesh."

Wally stepped out of the fitting cubicle with a black suit. His undershirt was unbuttoned as well as his sleeves. Jericho, Victor and Richard pushed in their laughs. Roy didn't, and laughed out loud. The girls sat silently on the couch in front of them, giving each other looks.

"Yeah, you guys look good too." Wally said sarcastically.

Jinx walked to the front giggling and fixed his shirt then she stared at him for a moment, and made him turn to look at the mirror.

"You look fine."

"Awesome. Now can I change?"

Jinx gave him a look and waved to signal his entrance back to the cubicle.

Kory sat straight looking at the one curtain that still hadn't open.

"Garfield?"

The curtain swished open and Kory smiled.

Garfield's suit was neat and he looked happy in it, almost like a little kid who was forced to go to a wedding. Kory walked to him.

"Aren't you adorable?" She said ruffling his hair.

"If you say so.." He laughed.

"So if you guys are done, you should change and we should get going to find our dresses." Raven closed a magazine she has being eyeing for quite a while now and stood up. Each guy proceeded to their cubicle to change and after paying, they moved out of the store with the group of girls to a nearby dress store.

Garfield plopped down on the couch and got comfortable.

"Well, it's going to be a long wait." He said sighing.

Richard, Victor, Jericho, Roy and Wally followed suit. They waited for at least fifteen minutes until they heard loud voices from inside the dressing room hall.

"I look fat." Karen's voice was overheard.

"I look like a freaking wedding dress ugh." Jinx said.

"You look fine." Kory silenced her.

"Could this dress be any uglier?" Raven said.

Richard and Victor exchanged glances.

"I'll go if you go." Victor said.

"Deal." Both of them got up and head through tons of fluffy dresses, high heels and the smell of cheap cologne to the dressing room hall.

"Can we come in?" Victor said.

"Please." Kory said.

Victor and Richard opened the door to find the girls sitting. Almost all of them looked disappointed, except for Kory.

"Vic, would you please mind telling Karen she's not fat?" Kory asked.

"Don't mind if I do." Victor turned to the black skinned girl wearing a beautiful strapless yellow dress that hugged her curves and got to the length of her knees. "You're not fat." He said with a sincere smile.

Kory gave Karen the I-Told-You-So look. And turned to look at herself.

"Off course you say that Kory, you found the perfect dress." Jinx stepped out of her cubicle and eyes the redhead.

"What? Your dress is pretty right Dick?" Kory turned to the silent teen leaning against the wall, to busy staring at her to speak. Kory wore a purple dress with a one shoulder sleeve. It was much like a royal purple blanket that covered her body, decorated with emerald like stones that matched her eyes, hair and body perfectly.

Victor elbowed his friend, snapping him out of his trance. Dick cleared his throat loudly.

"It's pretty." He said, eyeing the darker shade of purple dress that Jinx wore. Richard wasn't lying, the dress was pretty.

"Thank you, fashion guru." Jinx said sarcastically. Richard chuckled.

"So are you girls done already or…?"

"I say we are." Raven stood up, her black dress flowing with her moves.

"Awesome! We'll meet you outside then." Victor said, winking at Karen.

Victor and Richard stepped out of the hall and Victor tugged his friends arm before walking further.

"Wait right there." He said pulling Richard back.

"What?" Richard said, obviously clueless.

"I saw how you stared at Kory back there."

"Oh well I…" Richard sweat dropped.

"I feel you man, I know she's pretty and stuff, but It's something you don't want to do, unless you want a Logan slap." Victor said.

"You actually think I.."

"Just saying. And don't worry, it's a secret." Victor bumped his fist with his.

"Actually Vic, it's nothing, I just think she's awesome. That's it." Richard said, in the most serious tone he could find.

Victor raised an eyebrow at him. "K man, just saying. Remember the Logan slap." He said with an accusing finger.

"Remembered." Richard said with a smirk.

Both of them then made their way to the other guys and that's when Richard realized something…

He still didn't have a date.
