So! It's been what, 2 months and a couple of days...yep, that's about it. Please keep your rotten veggies and fruits to yourselves, maybe feed it to your garbage cans, I'm sure they'll love them :D

Anyway, long time no write! I seriously have been really busy, but hopefully now I'll be able to fall back into my schedule and update more frequently.

Alright, so, just to recap for those that don't remember a thing, but don't want to go back and re-read this whole story:

The team is undercover at the Happy Harbor school, trying to get the girls back to their normal selves since they've been hypnotized to act like sirens, all thanks to our resident bad guy, Mr. Ford. He had stolen this high secret contraption. And of course, Artemis is turned into this completely different person, that wears a skirt, and is dating [though Wally will deny it] James, this really idiotic and rude teen in Artemis and Wally's grade.

This is a pretty basic summary of recent events, of course we have the beginning with Wally getting Artemis to go out with him, without her knowing, and they share an amazing night. They then of course decide to mess with the team, and won't tell them that they're dating.

Anywho! Just to mention some things on the new ep...Megan and Conner kissed! :D I'm sorry, but I actually like that pairing. Call it rushed, call it cliche, call it random, but I think they make a cute couple. Of course Spitfire is still my fave pairing, but this goes for a close second.

Anyway, please enjoy this chapter, and a review would be much appreciated!

==Outside The Bathroom

Conner and Dick had had no problem in getting Megan to comply with them, and she was beginning to wonder what the boys were waiting for.

The three perked up once they heard some struggles, a couple of colourful words coming from a female, and grunting, followed by exclamations of pain emerging from a male source.

Dick had to hold in his laughter as he saw Wally dragging Artemis, while the latter was ferociously resisting his attempts. Kaldur, meanwhile, was just awkwardly hovering around, wondering what he should do in this situation. However, as soon as he saw Dick and Conner, he rapidly made his way to them, and left Wally fending himself against the angry hypnotized girl.

"Seems like someone's been having trouble." Dick smirked.

Kaldur sighed. "You have no idea. Wally ended up punching Artemis' boyfriend-"

"He's not her boyfriend!" Wally exclaimed from down the hall, still struggling.

"And who the hell are you to tell me who can date me or not?" Artemis growled back.

At the same time, Kaldur raised a sceptical eyebrow. "You were the one that called him her boyfriend, as I recall."

"You- I, gah! Never mind!" Wally had no idea how he would be able to get Artemis back to her normal self, well, as normal as she could get. While keeping Artemis at bay, he turned to where everyone else was standing, and angrily hollered out, "Kaldur! Now would be a good time to explain how in this world you get her back to normal!"

Megan flinched. "Aren't you being just a bit forceful with her?"

Wally looked lost for a second. Megan had such pretty eyes, and he was so captivated in their hazel orbs. Why continue trying to date the girl that hated him right? After all, she punched him really hard in the arm and-

"OWWwiie!"

The male members of the group flinched as Wally sunk to the ground, his hands between his legs. Artemis smirked, satisfied at the strength of her knee.

Megan quickly went up to Artemis and, grabbing her hand, and they both started running off, scared at the fact that a bunch of guys were ganging up on them.

"So, are we going after them?" Conner asked.

"It might not be too wise, since they might get the wrong impression-"

"And we all know what they're capable of." Wally gasped out, still doubled over from pain. "Does she have a leg of steel? Seriously, that girl can pack a punch."

"Well, maybe you should've been tracted." Dick smirked.

"What the hell is tracted?" Wally exclaimed.

"Tracted is the opposite of distracted. Meaning, you should've been paying attention" Dick explained, a smirk on his face that could rival the Joker's.

"Dude ! Megan was looking totally hot alright?" Wally angrily retorted. But quickly added, as soon as he heard Conner growl. "It must have been the hypnosis thingy."

"Sure." Dick drawled.

Wally groaned, rolling his eyes, and then turned to Kaldur. "Will you just tell us what we have to do to get them back?"

"Take them on a date, and if you manage to charm them, getting them happy, you can break the hypnosis by kissing them."

"Tiny little problem here." Dick cleared his throat. "We know Conner will take Megan but, who would take Artemis on a date?"

Wally cleared his throat. "I could, you know, take her...out...on a date I mean."

Dick blinked. "You? She hates your guts you know? More than usual."

Wally glared at the younger boy. "You watch, I can totally ask her out."

Dick scoffed. "Oh, I know you can ask her out no problem. The problem is, will she agree to it?"

Wally stood up, and with a lot more confidence than he felt, retorted. "You watch." He then proceeded to walk off, and left the rest of the boys holding in their laughter.

"Oh we will." Dick smirked.

==Outside

"Megan! Artemis! Are you two alright?" Barbara came running to them, looking kind of panicked.

"Nothing." Megan brushed it off. The two had agreed that it was best to not mention the antics of the strange boys. It would just delay the plan, and no one wanted to be responsible for that.

"Yeah, just some idiots trying to scare us." Artemis rolled her eyes. "Come on, we've got to go to class, the bell's about to ring."

==Science Class

Wally took his seat in class, and the teacher, Ms. Dot approached him, and Wally began to feel a sense of foreboding. What if Artemis had reported him for having beaten up Artemis' boyfriend and then dragged her against her will to the hallway by the bathrooms? Wally wanted to vomit at the thought of Artemis being with that jerk. She hated him just as much as he did! So why was she so cuddly with him? Wally wanted to blame the hypnosis so badly, and hoped that was the case, and that as soon as the spell was broken she'd give that guy hell. Though he wouldn't mind if she kept the skirt...

"Mr. West!"

"Augh!" Wally exclaimed, jumping up from his seat and banging his knees against the underside of the desk. He looked up and saw Ms. Dot standing there, looking confused and worried.

"Are you alright dear?"She asked.

"Yeah." Wally attempted a smile through his grimacing expression. "Just thinking."

"Well, I came to tell you that-" Ms. Dot started to explain, but was interrupted by the door slamming open, and Artemis to walk in. "Ah! Just who I was looking for!"

Artemis looked towards their direction, and spotted that bumbling idiot West sitting by his desk, looking like he was in pain. She hoped it was from her handy-work. She cleared her throat and replied. "Yes Ms. Dot?"

"Well, you and Mr. West never really picked what topic you wanted for your project, and since it's due in 3 weeks, I think it's imperative you pick it before you start anything."

"Wait what?" Artemis exclaimed. "Why do I have to work with this loser?"

Ms. Dot did a double take. "I got the impression you were ecstatic at working with him?"

Artemis snorted. "Fat chance with that. He prefers to drag his partners unwillingly."

Wally inwardly groaned. "Of course, and you only want partners you can abuse right?"

Ms. Dot cleared her throat. "I get the feeling that this is under some form of context that I'm not aware of but, there are no other groups available for you to switch with! So, you must work together, whether you like it or not."

"Can't we ask to switch with any other groups?" Artemis pleaded.

"No, Ms. Crock. The other groups have been formed for some time now-"

"But you handed out the assignment yesterday?" Wally asked. Not that he didn't mind working with Artemis, rather, scratch that, he didn't mind working with the non lethal version of her.

"Yes, but the other groups have had time to pick their partners and think about their projects, and I do believe that by working together, you can solve what-"

"No way am I working with this loser." Artemis scoffed.

"Ms. Crock, I was not asking for your opinion, rather than enforcing the idea. You're working with Mr. West, and I expect to see an amazing project."

Before Artemis could counter-act that idea, the bell rang and class began.

Artemis resigned as having no other choice but to sit beside him, and slammed her books furiously.

"Good thing I'm not a bug." Wally smirked as he whispered to Artemis. "Your textbooks seem like they could crush me."

"Too bad I don't have a spoon!" Artemis hissed, and as Wally gulped, Artemis smiled, satisfied she had shut the idiot up.

Class progressed slowly, like any science class could sometimes be, until, halfway along the class, Artemis passed him a note under the table.

He looked at the outstretched arm with suspicion, but ignored them, reaching out to grab the note. On it, in Artemis' beautiful handwriting was the message 'After school, my locker.'

Wally gulped, and wondered as to whether he'd survive this mission.

==After School

Wally made his way to Artemis' locker, and there she was. Putting her books inside, with a bit more care than yesterday.

"Hey, you wanted to talk to me?" Wally asked, weary to not commit the same mistake as before.

Artemis continued to put her books in, and once she finished, she slammed her locker door shut, and whipped around to face him. "Listen to me West. I want to get this project done as quickly as possible, so we're going to the library, and we're going to finish this, that way I don't have to deal with you anymore."

Wally meekly nodded.

"Incredible, no witty remark?" Artemis scoffed sarcastically.

"Let's just get going." Wally mumbled. He wouldn't admit it to Artemis, but he was beginning to wonder if the real Artemis even liked him. he quickly texted Dick, and followed Artemis out the door.

==The Library

"Closed!" Artemis exclaimed. "What the hell is this?"

Wally smirked internally, sometimes, having a hacker as a friend was a good thing. "We could always go to our place?"

Artemis narrowed her eyes and menacingly walked right up to Wally. "Our place? What sick joke is that supposed to be?"

Wally quickly recoiled. "No! I mean- never mind, I mean my place!"

Artemis narrowed her eyes sceptically. "Sure, but if I see any funny business, you'll wish that-"

"How about we lay off the threats? Too many threats and you're not going to remember which one you planned to use on me."

Artemis smiled. "Oh don't worry, I'd know very well what to do."

Wally chuckled "I have no doubt about that."


What! You didn't think that Artemis would just go along willingly did you?

She would obviously fight back, and her knee was the best under the circumstances. I'm truly sorry, I don't have very good knowledge about how much it hurts to get kneed down there, so please don't give me a breakdown of how painful it is. I'm aiming for entertainment, not scientific accuracy.

Also, of course Wally had to change things around...no other way to get her to warm up to him than at home :D

And before anyone asks as to why Artemis is confused about the whole same house thing...the hypnotizing machine is unstable, so memories aren't very well preserved, hence why Artemis doesn't remember everything.

Anyway! Very exciting new eps to be coming in the next weeks, so I'm excited for that!

Alright, I'll be wrapping it up here, promising you a very entertaining date to be coming for all our ships, not to mention some entertainment from our two leftover guys. Poor Kaldur and Dick right? They deserve a moment to shine.

So, I hope everyone's excited for Home Front tomorrow!

Alright, so please leave me a review, and Family Business will be updated soon!
