"It's Potato Day!" shouted Robin as he cartwheeled into the living room and landed on the couch.
"I didn't know they celebrated such a thing here on Earth," Miss Martian stated when she walked in with a batch of cookies, confused.
Wally ran into the room holding a bag of cheetos. "They don't. Rob, what exactly are you plann-"
"What do you mean, Wally? Of course we celebrate Potato Day! Who doesn't?" the Boy Wonder said, cutting him off and grabbing a cookie. "Also, how could you, you traitor?! It's Potato Day, you eat chips, not cheetos! You're a monster!"
Aqualad came into the room and walked up to them, also getting a cookie. "I believe this is one human tradition I have not heard of. What is this 'Potato Day' you speak of?"
Wally, catching on, spoke this time. "It's a very merry holiday in which we celebrate by throwing potatoes off people's roofs and onto their streets! Sometimes we aim for the people, and if you get hit by one, it means someone wishes you luck!" he said, laughing along with the cackling thirteen-year old next to him.
The zeta tubes announced Artemis as she arrived through them. But instead of her normal uniform, she was wearing a small belt around her waste and two large belts draped across her shoulders. The belts had slots that carried potatoes, and strapped across her back was a rocket launcher, presumably filled with potatoes as well. "Who wants to get this party started?"
Superboy came in at that moment, before grabbing a cookie and walking to the garage. "I'm just gonna' walk Wolf and not ask any questions. Wolf!" he deadpanned.
"Okay, the potato weapons are cool, but I'm more interested in how you got her to join," Wally whispered to Robin, chewing loudly with chips in his mouth.
"I told her my name starts with R. No, Batman didn't give me permission, because I'm still wondering when she'll figure out I could've been talking about the name 'Robin,'" he answered, cutting off Wally's response to the first part.He walked over to Artemis and leaned on her shoulder.
"Well? You two heard her. Let's get this party started!" Wally yelled with two very ecstatic humans and two intrigued yet clueless foreigners.

Roy Harper had been standing on his balcony, staring at a car down below when he heard a splotchy sound, then giggling. He turned around to check, but saw no one behind him. Going back to watching the cars below, he leaned over the railing when he heard it again. Splotch! Turning to where the sound came from, he was surprished to see a brown lump sitting on his apartment's balcony floor. He heard the sound again, accompanied by more giggling.
This time, there were three lumps. He was going to head inside and grab his bow when another one landed, right on his face. Wiping it off with one sleeve of his coat, he was about to scream at the empty air above him about how annoying Wally and Dick were when it turned into a very green, very alive Martian. "Hi Roy! Good luck, and Happy Potato Day!" M'gann shouted as she flew away to her next unsuspecting victim, leaving behind an extremely confused Red Arrow.

Alfred Pennyworth didn't know what he was expecting when he heard giggling following him as he came to the end of an aisle in a grocery store. However, it certainly wasn't potatoes flying at him. "Master Dick, it would be nice if you could stop pretending like I don't know you are here," he said.
Normally he would receive a dissapointed sigh or response, but all he got was more giggling. Turning around, he couldn't find the boy he was looking for. He stopped being confused when someone tapped him on the shoulder and greeted him.
"Hi Alfie!" Turning around, he saw Dick twenty aisles over. Confused as to how he got there, he stepped forward to go to him. But all Alfred got was a meeting with the floor as he slipped on a slushy substance that was brown.
"Hey Alfred!" a ginger-haired boy greeted as he looked up. Well that explained how Dick moved there so quickly. Speaking of the boy, he decided that now was a good time to make a joke. "How do you like your potatoes? Cuz now they really are mashed!"
Oh. So that was what he had slipped on.

'No' her dad had said when she asked to go see the Team. 'No' he had said when she said she wanted to train to fight with magic. 'No' he had said when they visited Gotham and she wanted to save them with magic from a couple of muggers. Well, fine. If he didn't want her to be a hero, she wouldn't be a hero.
Whenever he was around.
But if Zatanna could help people in trouble, she would help them. If a cat was stuck in a tree, she would get it out. If there was traffic, she would subtly help the crosswalk guard. If people were being pelted by potatoes, she would-wait, what? It was true. The news station on the radio kept giving a report about two masked criminals standing on a rooftop and throwing potatoes at people downtown. She turned on the TV, and was shocked to see Aqualad and Artemis on the screen. Artemis was holding a...potato launcher, while Aqualad had a large machine gun. Both weapons were spewing brown slushy stuff that she assumed were s'mashed' potatoes. Changing her clothes and teleporting to them with magic, she asked them what they were doing.
Recognizing her as one of the heroes, the news channels watched intently as everyone held their breath. Seeing her turn around, everyone was relieved, but upon seeing her holding potatoes, they panicked once more. A megaphone appeared in her hand and she put it up to her mouth.
"WELCOME TO POTATO CITY, AND HAVE A VERRY MERRY POTATO DAY!!"

A/N: I wrote this at five am, so this was all I could come up with. And don't ruin it with science, cuz I know a potato at that height could kill someone. But this is cartoon logic, and cartoon logic is all that exists here. Hope you enjoyed, and Happy Potato Day!
