Brainy hadn't talked to Stardust about 3 weeks ago the night she kissed him. He could still feel the heat from her kiss on his cheek. Either he was busy in the lab, or on a mission. Brainy gave a quiet sigh at the memory of her kiss and smiled to himself. "What are you smiling at?" Bouncing Boy asked, dragging Brainy away from his thoughts. "Hmm?" Brainy
mumbled, a faraway look in his eyes. He's thinking about Stardust again, Bouncy thought to himself.
Outloud he said,"Hey Brainy, wanna watch a movie?"
"No, no thanks, in fact I think I'm going to go talk to Saturn Girl about something." Brainy said, getting up out of his chair. "Ok, take your time, I'm going to go find the Trips and see if they'll(She?) watch it with me." Bouncing Boy said, bouncing out of the lounge towards Triplicate Girls room. Sighing, Brainy got up from his chair and headed off towards Saturn Girl's room. He really needed her calming presence to help him think this through.
Knocking on her door, he called, "Saturn Girl, are you there?" "Yeah, Brainy, hold on a sec." A few seconds later the door opened, revealing the tall blond, pink eyed telepath. "Could I talk to you about something?" Brainy asked, uncertain of himself. Raising an eyebrow at his timidity, she simply nodded. She stepped aside as Brainy walked into the room. "What is it Brainy?" Saturn Girl said with her usual calmness. "Well, it's about Stardust" Brainy began, "She makes me feel strange."
"I can't seem to think at all when I'm around her! I can't barely speak when she smiles, or even if she's around me! There must be some sort of malfunction in my heating and cooling systems because every time she gets near I feel so warm. I'd do just about anything to keep a smile on her face, especially when it's directed at me, even the most illogical thing!" Brainy finished waiting for Saturn Girls' reply. Saturn Girl smiled and said, "Brainy have you ever had these symptoms before?" "No," Brainy replied. "Brainy if Stardust wanted you to do something completely illogical, like go to a dance for instance would you go?"
After a few moments of consideration, Brainy nodded "Yes". Saturn girl smiled at her little green friend. "Brainy, you have all the symptoms of a very big crush." "A crush?" Brainy asked. "Yes my friend a crush. I suggest you talk to her about how she makes you feel, it might help." Saturn Girl said. "But what if," Brainy stammered. "Just talk to her, you might just be surprised at what she'll say." Saturn Girl said mysteriously. "Ok" Brainy mumbled.
"Wait, you really don't know how to dance!" Stardust exclaimed, looking up at Superman. Blushing, Superman replied, "Nope". "Would you like to learn how?" Stardust asked. "I don't know, I mean, how would I use it as a superhero?" he asked. "Simple! Dancing increases your flexibility and builds muscles. Plus, if you liked a girl you could take her to a dance." Stardust explained. "Oh, Ok then." Superman said still unsure. "Great, meet you in the training room!" She exclaimed, darting off to her room. "What did I just get myself into?" Superman muttered walking off towards the training room.
A few minutes later Stardust arrived with a 31st century music player in her hands. Setting it down, she said, " We'll learn the steps without the music, then we'll try it with the music, ok?" "Sounds fine to me," Superman replied. "Alright then!" "Now Supes, you stand here, good." Stardust instructed. "Now I'll stand here," she continued, standing in front of him. "Ok, now what?" Superman asked. "You put your arms around me like this," she said placing his hands around her waist and placing hers around his shoulders. "Um, I um." Superman stuttered, blushing. "Relax Supes! This is supposed to be fun!" Stardust said, giggling at his blush. "Now, you step forward and I'll step back." "Ok, like this?" Superman asked. "Yes, keep going, we make a circle as we dance." "See, you'll be an expert in no time!" Stardust said grinning at her friend. "If you say so", Superman mumbled.
"Lightning Lad, wait up!" Brainy called out. Turning to face his younger friend, Lightning Lad said, "Hey Brainy, What's up?" Brainy, having caught up to the current leader of the Legion, asked "Have you seen Stardust?" Oh, so that's what this is about. Lightning Lad thought. "Yeah, last I saw she was headed towards the training room with a music player." he said. "I think she said something about",.. but Brainy was already gone. "He's so crushing on her," Lightning Lad said with a smirk on his face. Maybe I should go spy on their conversation, he thought to himself. It'd be good for a laugh. Walking to Computo he brought the security camera video feed from the training room up on the screen. He watched Superman try to not step on Stardust's foot. "The plot thickens," he said thoughtfully.
Stardust needed a break. Superman had started out well, but he kept stepping on her foot. Ice, I need ice! she thought to herself. Outloud she said, "Let's take a quick break, and we can try again later." "Sounds good to me." Superman said, wiping the sweat off his brow. He stepped forward to turn off the music player at the same time Stardust did. Superman tripped and landed right on top of Stardust. "I, uh Sorry!" he stuttered, leaping off a blushing Stardust. "It's ok, but I don't think we'll be continuing the dance lessons for a while."Stardust said. "Agreed, Superman said, his face still as red as his cape. "Let's just hope no one saw that." Superman continued. Stardust groaned, "Lightning Lad would never let us live this down." Little did they know that someone had seen, and was very, very upset.
In Brainy's lab…
I can't believe I almost told her! Brainy thought to himself angrily. Clearly she has no interest in me or she wouldn't have been kissing Superman! He continued his mental ranting. I mean it's illogical for her to like me! I mean with the greatest hero of all time pursuing her! What would she want with a small, know-it all anyway? Especially one who's a descendent of the original Brainiac! His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door of his lab. "Who is it?" Brainy demanded, in no mood for idle chatter. "Hey Brainy!" Stardust said waltzing into his lab. "Hello!" Brainy snapped, thinking to himself, how dare she come in here acting like nothing happened! Stardust's eyes widened, "Brainy what's wrong?" "You're what's wrong!" Brainy shouted. "Brainy what do you mean…?" "I mean you walking in here acting like nothing's happening between you and Superman!" "Brainy nothing's"…. Stardust began, very confused. "Don't even finish that sentence just get out!" Brainy screamed. "But..." "Now!" Stardust ran from the lab, tears streaming down her face. She ran all the way to her room, thinking to herself, What happened? What did I do wrong? She didn't have an answer. Brainy sat in his lab, head in his hands, thinking, What have I done?
I was told to slow down Brainy's and stardust's relationship, hope this slows it down little bit! Read and review! P.S pleasssse be nice! *Gives puppy face!*
