It had been almost two months since Me'gann and Conner broke up. While life for the others went on as usual, the two were very distant from one another and it caused quite a bit of tension whenever they were together, but at the same time they would talk none stop about how much they missed each other to everyone else on the team, which while no one wanted to say anything, was very annoying. At this point, everyone was at wits end with the constant complaining, especially Wally, who despite his former crush on Megan, really did hate seeing the two so unhappy. Well, one day Wally had finally had enough and decided to take action.
"I've got a plan!" The red-head said one day during a briefing, just a few minutes before the clone and Martian showed up.
"Whats your plan, Wally?" Artemis asked, watching as Wally reached into his pocket and pulled out a quarter.
"What, your going to bribe them into getting back together? Fat chance that will work." Dick laughed, rolling his eyes slowly and smirking.
"Oh you'll see." Wally smirked rushing out the door, only to come back in once he realized that the meeting was not over yet and that he would have to wait.
Later that day:
The team (Or at least most of them) were now dressed in their usual civilian clothes, and were currently walking down the street on their way to get some well deserved ice cream. Dick, Wally, and Megan's little brother Garfield, lead the group down the street with their heads bowed towards each other, the trio muttering quietly to each other about Wally's earlier mentioned plan to get their friends back together.
"Okay, when I say 'now', all of you- Now!" Wally whispered as him, Dick and Garfield all took off running down the street at their fastest speeds and passed the cross walk within seconds.
As they did, Wally put his plan into action, making a quick movement before anyone could see him do it and hurrying off quickly to catch up with his friends, who were already waiting for him at the ice cream parlor just a short distance away. Meanwhile, the martian girl gasped softly at her speedy friends and quickened her pace in an attempt to catch up with them.
"Hey! Wait up!" Megan laughed, running after them but was suddenly pulled back by her shoulder by Conner just as a car sped passed them.
"You don't have the walk symbol yet." He mumbled, awkwardly looking away from her and up into the clouds quickly.
"Oh... thanks..." Megan whispered, pressing the button carefully and then stepping back and waiting for the signal.
Two minutes passed, and the two alien teens stood at the crosswalk, still not saying anything to each other. It looked about another minute was going to by in this awkward quiet, until Conner finally spoke. Clearly, he hated the awkward tension and the silence... And maybe the crosswalk signal, but that was another story all together.
"So, um... How are things?" He asked, shrugging his shoulders a little as he spoke.
"Good... Me and Lagoon broke up but other then that good." She answered, playing with her hair a little. "And you?"
"Broke up? Why?" Conner asked, sounding a little surprised at that piece of information.
"Stupid reasons... I'd rather not talk about it right now." Megan replied, though she smiled softly, glad that they were finally talking again. "I'd rather talk about how you've been."
"Fine, a little lonely but fine." He answered, leaning against the pole and resting his head against it.
"Lonely?" Megan repeated, sounding a bit concerned but not at all surprised.
"Ugh! When will we get that stupid symbol?" Conner complained, trying quickly to change the subject.
"You're lonely?" Megan asked, putting a small hand onto his wrist in a comforting way.
"Yeah... It doesn't matter though..." He said, though Megan seemed to think other wise on it.
"How long have you felt like this?" She muttered suddenly, her hand never leaving his.
Conner mumbled something quickly and then went back to drumming his fingers of his free hand on the side of the pole in a loud and fast way, trying to avoid the woman's sight as well as her questions.
"What?" Well, he must not have tried hard enough then, because in the end he couldn't avoid either.
"Since we broke up, okay?" Conner mumbled, still drumming his fingers, only this time he did it a little softer than before.
Megan hugged his arm suddenly, causing his hand to fly away from the pole and his eyes darted down at her small frame. While he was surprised, he also thought that the gesture felt nice and welcomed after all the time he had spent being lonely without his favorite alien.
"Sorry..." She whispered softly, her voice barely audible.
"What are you sorry for? I broke up with you." Conner said, making no attempt to move the martian off of his arm.
"For letting you feel lonely." Megan said, still hugging his arm.
"Its okay..." He muttered, soon turning her slightly so that he could hug her back.
"Conner I don't want us to stay broken up." She said into the hug, liking how warm and safe she felt in it.
"Neither do I." And with that , he gently tilted her chin upwards and the two gently kissed each other softly.
As they did, they didn't notice that a quarter, which was jammed into the cross walk button, had slipped out of the buttons holder and clanked to the ground. They didn't notice that, or that they now had the walk symbol. They didn't even notice the speedster, the animal boy or the not-so-little-anymore bird standing across the street happily eating their ice cream.
"Works almost every time." Wally smirked, picking up the coin and tucking it into his pocket with an idle smirk.
A/N: I kinda want to write a story where Garfield is being raise by his older sister (Megan) and her boyfriend (Conner) And all the misadventures they get into. Like? Dislike? R and R then.
If you don't understand what happened: Wally jammed a quarter over the button at the cross-walk so when Megan pushed it, she was just pushing the quarter. Now Wally knows how impatient Conner is so he knew Conner wouldn't like the awkward silence as they waited for the sumbol and would break it, thus getting them talking again.
