WallyxArtemis: Thanks! And oh yeah for High School Drama! :D Thanks so much, and enjoy!
freckleKaren: Yep, Megan got it bad. Hmm, she could've, but then again, Kaldur told her not to read everyone's minds, plus, when people are nervous, they don't always think of the most logical solution ;) So yeah, that'd be my reasoning :D Anyway, thanks a lot, and hope you enjoy!
dog: Thanks! Haha, we'll see about that ;) Enjoy!

==Lunchtime
Dick looked around the cafeteria, and didn't see any of his teammates around. He found an empty table to sit down at, and then groaned, burying his head in his hands.
"So, bad start?" Wally smirked, sitting down across from his friend.
"You have no idea. I mean, why do we need to have such boring classes!" Dick groaned.
"Because it's how teachers torture us for the first part of our lives?" Artemis came to them and sat down beside Dick, not looking happy at all.
"Uh, aren't you supposed to be with Megan?" Dick whispered harshly.
"If you think I'm going to sit beside that-" Artemis pointed to where Megan and Conner were being cuddly with each other, along with other preppy girls and their boyfriends. "-You've got another thing coming."
"Point taken." Dick nodded, gagging.
Suddenly, a wave of screaming girls was heard.
"What the-" Wally started, not sure if he should run and see what was going on. Then, to answer everyone's question, the door to the cafeteria opened, giving way to-
"It's just Kaldur, you jumping whackos." Artemis sighed, wondering what she had done to deserve this kind of punishment.
It was indeed Kaldur, but he was followed by his own pack of at least 12 or so girls, all swooning, while Kaldur continued walking, trying his best to ignore the dozen love struck girls. He saw the rest of his team, and sat down, his eyes showing terror.
"Help!" Kaldur whispered.
"Oh Kaldur!" One of the girls, the leader, they supposed, piped up in a sing-song voice, "We've got plenty of room at our table."
Three of the other girls went and grabbed Kaldur and his chair, dragging him with them. All of a sudden, Kaldur jumped up and ran away, at such speeds that could give Wally a run for his money.
"And that gives a new definition to 'gone with the wind'." Artemis rolled her eyes.
Wally and dick were just too shocked to say anything. Dick recovered first, shaking his head. "Wow, poor guy. I should probably go and try to help him."
"What happened to staying in our teams, boss? ' Do as I say but not as I do' scenario?" Artemis sneered.
"Like you pointed out, I am not putting myself in the middle of that." Dick shuddered, seeing their two alien teammates now kissing. They probably hadn't even realized their ex-leader was being chased by a pack of ravenous fan-girls. He got up, and with a scowl, he left.
"Looks like Dick here's becoming a real chip of the old bat-block." Wally grinned.
Artemis fumed. "And tell me, why do I want to stick around you?"
Wally's stomach dropped. What happened? "Hey, is everything ok?" Wally asked, going around the table to sit beside her.
"Everything is fine." Artemis bit back. Wally flinched a bit at this, and Artemis used this opportunity to leave the cafeteria.
Wally just stared at her walk off, and sighed as he started to get up and go after her. "No way, friend. You're not going nowhere." A hand pushed him back down to his seat, and Wally watched with disgust as James sat down beside him.
"What do you want?" Wally spit out.
"I want you to tell me why your girlfriend is so pissed off. I mean, I was totally going to get her before you sauntered in and took her away." James growled.
"Cause you're an idiot, and you seriously never had a chance against her." Wally replied.
"Like you're a better catch? Please, you're a dead man walking if you think I'm just going to take this sitting." James scoffed.
"Whatever." Wally used a bit of his super speed to get up and away, but not enough that anyone would notice. He then continued jogging away, while he heard James screaming:
"You're dead West!" How the guy got his name was beyond Wally, but knowing him, he probably has his ways.
==In some deserted hallway of the school
Kaldur was hiding, deep in hiding. What did he do wrong? He racked his brains to try and remember what he did just before all of this happened.
Conner and Kaldur, at Dick's insistence, were going to sit at lunch together, so they said they would meet up by Kaldur's locker to go to the cafeteria. Kaldur was putting his books away, when Conner arrived.
"Hey Kaldur, those girls are staring at you and giggling." Conner pointed out, staring over Kaldur's shoulder.
Kaldur turned around, and when he did, the girls broke into a new fit of giggles. He smiled awkwardly and waved.
They just lost it, and started laughing. "Are my gills showing?" Kaldur whispered.
"No." Conner was just as confused as Kaldur.
"I'm going to try and talk to them, you go and save me a seat." Kaldur told Conner.
Conner shrugged and left. Kaldur finished at his locker, closed the door and walked over to them. "Hello ladies-"
He got interrupted by having the girls, stop giggling, stare at him dreamily, and so intensely, he just started backing off. He turned around, and quickly tried to make his way to the cafeteria, all the while, the girls were declaring their love for him.
Kaldur just groaned as he was brought back to reality by seeing the pack of girls advance towards him. The leader, a red-headed girl, stepped up to him. "So big guy-"
"Leave him alone!" A voice spoke out. Kaldur stared in surprise, seeing Dick trying to look all macho.
"Or else what, princess?" the leader smiled, gesturing to Dick's high voice.
Dick was just speechless. He had thought that they would leave. Not defy him, not to mention he was up against a very hot girl.
She started walking towards him, trying to look incredibly attractive to the 13 year old and she was being successful. "So what's your name?"
"Di-Richard." Dick gulped, not wanting to give them another reason for laughter.
"Well, I'm Barbara. What say you let us talk to your friend alone?" She batted her eyes at him.
"Uh-sure." Dick stared, dreamily.
Kaldur was shocked. This was worse than sirens! "Snap out of it man!"
"Nah Kaldur, I'm just going to go and talk to Wally or someone else." Dick was entranced as he walked off, and Kaldur gulped at the expressions of the girls in front of him.
==Elsewhere.
Wally was searching for Artemis, trying to find his pissed off girlfriend before she did something she would regret. He went outside and found her sitting in the park by the school.
"Hey." Wally greeted, going to sit beside her.
"What do you want?" Artemis bit back.
"To talk to you." Wally replied.
"About?"
"You."
"Why?"
"Because I'm worried about you, now will you stop asking questions?" Wally smiled.
"I don't need people to take care of me." Artemis started to get up, but got pulled back down by Wally's hand.
"No, you don't need. I want to." Wally replied, taking her into his arms.
Artemis at first was stiff in his hold, struggling a bit to get out, but she melted into him after a couple of seconds.
"So, what's up?" Wally asked, breaking the silence, but still keeping her close to him, stroking her hair and back.
"This whole mission is going to be a failure." Artemis replied.
"And that's gotten you pissed off because-" Wally trailed off, wanting her to explain her concept further.
"Between idiots like that Drew guy, and Dick getting all, well, angry and bossy, how're we supposed to do anything?" Artemis sighed.
"Drew, as in that guy James?" Wally asked.
"No, Drew as in that idiotic monster named James." Artemis corrected him, cracking a smile.
"Ah, and don't worry about Dick, he'll come around." Wally smiled. "And we'll catch the bad guy. Like we always do."
Wally then leaned down, and captured Artemis' lips in his, conveying a sweet kiss to her.
Artemis blushed, and Wally grinned. "So, how about a date?"
"No thanks-" Wally paled. "It's not my kind of fruit."
Wally growled. "Why you-"
Artemis shut him up by kissing him, this time for a while longer. "I would love to." She smiled as they broke apart.
"Great, now let's go back inside before we get stuck in detention." Wally stood up, helping Artemis up.
[cowers] please don't kill me! I really tried to do my best, but sorry if this came out as craptastic :/
EDIT: Ok, so I have gotten a new-ish idea, so bear with me, for a while, for the whole fangirl-ing group
Would it make you better if you guys saw this? http:/ / realis3d . deviantart . com/#/d3d6bxc
Those of you that already saw this from Behind It All won't see this as any news, but for the rest of you, hope this makes it up? Yes?
So yeah, that was supposed to be Barbara Gordon...somehow in Happy Harbour, and not in Gotham, and the 'hello ladies' is supposedly from the whole Old Spice dude, or w.e his name is :/
Anywho, let me know what you think! Oh, for the link, remove the spaces and enjoy!
[And before anyone asks: yes, that is my artwork :P]
