A/N: Hi, it's been a while, sorry. Okay, just so you know, most of drabbles I will post will be out of chronological order with the show, so don't get confused. This one is a musing for why Red Arrow, our brooding archer, missed Wally's B-day party and what he did to make up for it.

Disclaimer: You know it, and I know it. Simple.

He couldn't believe he was doing this. Seriously, why did he have to do this? It was embarrassing enough that he had forgotten. He'd made sure to give a belated message, but apparently that wasn't enough for him. Neither was it enough for anyone else. Not Ollie. Not Dinah. Not the whole freaking team of teenaged sidekicks. They were all just doing this for kicks and giggles. Robin was probably ready to get the whole event recorded from the surveillance cameras to any number of discs that he would hide for safe keeping and future blackmail. This was just. So. Freaking. Great.

"Well?"

"…" he glared down at his fellow red head, cursing his luck yet again.

"I'm waiting," the singsongy tone in his voice irritated him to no end.

"Wally," someone shoot him. He doesn't even care who. Kaldur. Artemis. Or even that damn Cheshire. He just wanted it to end.

"Yes, Royboy?" what was it with Wally and nicknames?

"I'm sorry I forgot your birthday, especially when it had been so rough on you" Roy Harper sighed, not adding the part where he'd been handling a string of terrorist bombings solo on the other side of the globe, so even one of his best bro's birthday had slipped his mind.

"And?" he was milking this for all of its worth, wasn't he?

"And that I never got you a present," with all of his solo superheroing, where would he have found the time to do that? Apparently, that wasn't a good enough reason.

"Aand?"

"Also, that time that I 'accidently' drugged you, sorry," he didn't know why Robin had asked him to add that. He'd already apologized.

"Aaand?" this was never going to end, was it?

"The time that I dropped you and Robin off at a lost-and-found area at Six Flags because a hot chick had been checking me out and I wanted some… um… alone time with her."

"She'd had friends, you could have let us had a crack at them," the boy wonder piped up, a stupidly agonizing smirk on his face.

"Hush, Rob," Wally shushed the gypsy. "Our oh-so grown-up archer has a few more things to say." He returned his emerald gaze to the young adult. "Don't you, Roy?"

"Ugh, yeah, apparently I do," how was it that people had managed to convince even the BATMAN to guilt trip him into doing this? With a whiny, yet manly, groan, he knelt down on one knee and bowed to the teen in a way akin to a knight and his monarch. He was doing this. There was no turning back now… unless something killed him first. Through gritted teeth, he managed to speak the words that the boys had conjured up for him. "So, in apology for all of these events, I shall be your abiding servant, and to some extent Robin's servant, for the entire day. I'll do anything and take you guys anywhere you want, all on me."

"You swear on it?" Wally's eyes glinted in that sort of mixture of happiness and cruelty that any growing teenaged male got when he'd punked a friend into doing something humiliating. Roy desperately thought of something to lighten his mood. A genuine half-smile formed on his face when he looked up at the speedster.

"Well, maybe most of that is true. All of the expenses are going to be on Ollie's card."

Miles away in Star City, the Green Arrow sneezed missing a mook by an inch. Righting himself immediately to compensate for the error, he clearly heard Black Canary ask him if he was okay.

"Yeah, I'm good," Physically, anyway. "I just have a really bad feeling that I'm not going to like my credit score the next time I see it.

A/N: Yeah, I just love the Roy, Dick, Wally dynamic. I was going to actually have a SuperMartian drabble before this one, but I lost inspiration and am struggling to finish it. Note: Some of my drabble from here on will be Cold Hearted inspired, so be ready for a lot of Wally. Also, give me your opinions, I feel like whenever I get into something, I lose my touch after a while.
