Chapter 3

Authors Note: I love you guys. I know I say that a lot. But I really do. All the reviews I get make me smile like an idiot. You make me want to write more spitfire then I should be allowed XD anyway. Just like I promised, enjoy this chapter of cute fluffy flirty-ness. I'm not sure how many chapters I'm going to have. I'm kind of just writing this as I go along so bear with me(: Also I apologize for spelling Kaldur wrong. My mind isn't in the correct state right now..Thanks SuzyQ113 for bringing that to my intention * face palm* my father did tell me I was born blonde ( no offense to blondes)

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the song's that I use in this chapter..or future chapters! (If only) I.e. Everybody talks by Neon Tree's, Tongue Tied by Grouplove and Demons by Imagine Dragons.

"Take me to your best friend's house,

Going around this roundabout

Oh yeah

Take me to your best friend's house,

I loved you then and I love you now

Oh yeah…"

Tongue Tied by Grouplove

Robin hummed along to the song, but leaned against a nearby palm tree, taking in the scene. Dinner? Try more like a outdoor party. Of course in the middle of the crowd there was Wally, dancing with practically everyone, but Robin could see that his eyes scanned over everyone else to find a certain blonde archer. He moved on. Next there was Kaldur in deep discussion with Garth. Robin had learned that Garth was dating Kaldur's now ex-girlfriend Tula, totally not whelming. Megan and Connor were feeding each other different fruits from the snack table ( he wrinkled his nose at that sight.) Lastly he saw Artemis sipping a drink while glaring at Wally, who still could not find her. The only problem was that he didn't know where Zatanna was-

"Hey 'Mr. Dark Glasses'." If Robin didn't train with Batman, he probably would have jumped at the sound of her voice. However, he did train with Batman, so he turned around slowly, grinning at the raven haired girl,

"Hey." He replied, his master greeting.

"Want to dance?" Zatanna's voice came out shy, which was surprising for a girl who was really outgoing and blunt. She didn't think she'd have to be the one to ask, but sensing that the Boy Wonder had no intentions of leaving his spot, she made the move.

"With-with you?" the usual smooth kid stuttered. Zatanna rolled her eyes, but her smile stayed put.

"No. With the palm tree you seem to be holding hands with."

"Don't tell me your jealous of my lady friend Miss. Zatanna." Robin perked back up, getting back to his usual cocky self. Without replying Zatanna grabbed his hand, and pulled him out to the dance floor.

Artemis took another sip of her drink and sighed to herself. She was use to being alone, that's how it worked in her family, every girl for herself. However when she joined the team she somehow expected…more. Sure Megan and her were close, but then she started dating Connor. And she thought Zatanna and her were getting close, but it didn't surprise her when she saw Zatanna pull the boy wonder out to the dance floor. There was always Kaldur, but he was more of a big brother then someone you could sit around and talk with, unless you wanted a therapy session. Finally, there was Kid Idiot. He was so annoying! He picked on her and continually tried to push her buttons. Then he tried to be all-all flirty with her! Who even does that? Goes around and plays puppet with a girls feelings. It was so infuriating! Yet…she let him do it.

"How about you? Come on, come sing us a song!" Artemis looked up from her cup and saw a giant light focused on Wally.

"I don't sing." Wally protested, his cheeks coloring to match his hair.

"You seem like a ladies' man, how about a l-o-o-ve song?" The guy continued pressuring him. The crowd erupted into cheers and Wally was forcefully pushed on stage. Oh great, he thought. He wasn't an awful singer, but it wasn't like he was Justin Bieber or anything.

"Um." He stood awkwardly on stage, the hot light making his stomach churn. " What…song?"

"Anyone you want brother!" The guy handed the microphone to him and walked off stage.

"EVERBODY TALKS BY NEON TREES!" someone yelled from the crowd. Artemis quickly looked and saw Robin with his hands cupped around his mouth, and Zatanna laughing uncontrollably.

What happened to keeping low? Kaldur's thought escaped to everyone's mind with the physic link Miss. M established. Kaldur glanced at Garth with not exactly hate or like, he was still sour about the Tula situation, but this was a mission and he was determined to get it solved for his King. When he got there Garth continually apologized and told him that it 'just happened.' If it wasn't for Garth and Tula though…Kaldur would probably not be here anyway. So instead of ripping him to shreds politely like he wanted to, Kaldur told Garth that he didn't want to hear it and that he forgave them, but they needed to focus on the situation at hand. So they did so.

No one answered Kaldur, probably afraid to do so, instead they just watched Wally on stage. Wally glared in Robins direction, but motioned to the band to start playing.

He cleared his throat, then opened his mouth to sing.

"Hey baby won't you look my way? I can be your new addiction!" he pointed to someone randomly in the crowd. Wanting to get a better look at this once in a life time experience, Artemis moved through the crowd to stand beside Zatanna.

"Hey baby what you got to say? All your giving me is fiction!

I'm a sorry sucker, and this happens all the time..

I find out that everybody talks, everybody talks, everybody talks…." Wally turned to see Artemis standing among everyone, causing him to smile widely. He winked at her as he continued to sing, causing her to blush,

"It started with a whisper, and that is when I kissed her,

And then she made my lips hurt, I can't even chit- chat!

Take me to your love shack, mommas always got a back track,

When everybody talks babeeee!" Wally climbed down the steps still singing, and grabbed Artemis's hand as he sung,

"Hey honey you could be my drug, you could be my new prescription!

Too much, can be an overdose! All this trash talk make me itching!" Glaring at Wally, Artemis yanked her hand back embarrassed, crossing her arms over her chest. Satisfied by her reaction, Wally moved along through the crowd, continuing to sing and dance silly.

"Is that your boyfriend singing?" A girl nearby yelled to Artemis to be heard over the noise, "He's so hot!"

"He is not my boyfriend!" Artemis screeched, mortified.

"Oh so he's available?" She squealed excitedly, ignoring Artemis's facial expression.

"Ugh!" Artemis turned her back on the girl and stomped over to where Kaldur was still talking to Garth. " Can we leave now?"

"Are you not having a good time?" Garth turned his brown eyes to Artemis, concerned.

"It's not- the party is fine, great really. I'm just tired from the long trip and being on the beach today, that's all." Artemis lied smoothly.

"We'll we can round up the team but-" Kaldur was cut off by a pretty girl with long brown hair,

"Hiya cutie, come dance with me!" With that Kaldur was whisked off by the girl, leaving Artemis a guilty smile and a blush. Great. She glared at them until they were out of sight, and turned back around to start an awkward conversation with Garth, but found herself alone…again. Great. Sighing Artemis tightened her pony tail and fixed the straps on the light lavender sun dress Zatanna let her borrow. She could have shown up in a joker get up and still no one would have noticed her.

"Was that awesome or what?" a familiar voice came up from behind Artemis. She turned around, and with a sigh she saw it was Wally.

"Or what." She replied lamely, and turned back around, but Wally grabbed her elbow.

"Come on Arty, everyone else is dancing, and this is one of my favorite songs." Artemis listened for a moment, and heard Demons by Imagine Dragons playing.

"You like Imagine Dragons?" she asked doubtfully.

"Love 'em." He grabbed both her hands and smoothly place them around his neck. Then quickly placed his around her waist, in which she glared at him.

"Don't even think about going lower Baywatch." She growled at Wally.

"Of course not." He replied politely, though he certainly had other things in mind. Artemis's face softened as they continued to dance. Slowly…just slowly Wally pulled her closer so that he could rest his chin on top of her head. He had no idea what made him do so, perhaps how good she smelled, or how gorgeous the lavender dress complimented her tan clear skin. Or even it could have been the glare she shot his way, and still look adorable. He didn't know when he started feeling this way for the green archer, but he didn't care. He was determined to make her his.
