Disclaimer: I don't own legion of superheroes, I really wish I did, but I don't. I do however own Stardust.
Brainy and Stardust tried to sneak out the door so they wouldn't be subject to a certain Legionnaires' teasing. (cough cough Lightning Lad, cough cough). Unfortunately as they just slipped out the door, they heard said legionnaire singing, "Brainy and Stardust sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-umph!. "Don't be back too late you two!", Phantom girl sing-songed as she clamped a hand over Lightning Lad's mouth. Stardust looked at Brainy as they walked outside in the New Metropolis sunshine, "I assume Lightning Lad's cereal will have an explosive surprise in the morning?" She said with a naughty grin. "Definitely" Brainy replied, with a naughty grin of his own. Shyly grabbing each others hand they began to walk towards the park. Stardust spotted an ice cream stand, turning to Brainy she asked, " Do ya mind if I grab a cone?" "Oh, I'll grab it for you." Brainy eagerly pulling out some credits. "Are ya sure?" Stardust hesitated. "Yeah what kind do you want?" Brainy asked eager to do something for his girlfriend. "Chocolate chip cookie dough."Stardust licked her lips. "Ok, Wait for me on the bench?" "Okey dokey artichokie", Stardust giggled. Brainy smiled and watched her walk away then turned and headed for the small ice cream stand. "Hello" Brainy greeted the man. The ice cream man was tall, lanky and had a ridiculously long black mustache. 'hello, velcome to thee galaxies' greatest Ice creama standa." " My name is Pierre Dalamango, 'ow my I elp you." Brainy blinked at his strange accent, shrugging, he said " Can I have a chocolate chip cookie dough in a sugar cone please?" aye yes,yes so you a wanna raisin icea creama in a raisin conea? Pierre asked with his strange accent. "What? No! I said, "CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH IN A SUGAR CONE." Brainy corrected raising his voice thinking perhaps the guy didn't hear properly. "Oh, yesa mya bad." Pierre apologized glancing towards something behind Brainy's back. Brainy turned around to see a Pierre look alike grab a hold of Stardusts hand and try to pull her along with him. Brainy saw red, ignoring a stuttering piere and marched straight over and hollered, What's going on here?" Before Stardust could say anything Mr. Creepy drawled. " just getting introduced ay sweetheart?" Stardust swung her fist to punch him in the face but he grabbed her other hand and tried to tug her closer. Brainy transformed into his battle mode, causing the guy to let go of Stardust out of surprise and she fell on the ground. Brainy reached out, grabbed the back of his shirt and lifted the guy several feet off the ground. " Keep your hands off of my girlfriend!" Brainy growled. "Am I clear enough, or should I explain myself further?" Brainy glared at him. "noope, we are crystal clear sir!" Mr. creepy stuttered out of sheer fright. "Good." Brainy set him on the ground and he took off running. Brainy detransformed and run over to Stardust. " Are you ok, he didn't hurt you did he?" Brainy asked taking her hand. " Not too bad, just a little bruise." Stardust replied rubbing her arms. "Thanks Brainy." Stardust smiled. "You're my girlfriend and my friend, like I was going to let him mess with you." Brainy replied smiling back. Suddenly thunder cracked overhead. "uh-oh looks like we'd better cut the rest of our date outside short." Stardust snickered, although she still looked wigged out. "Agreed." Brainy said snagging her hand and running towards headquarters as big raindrops began to fall from the sky.
When they arrived at headquarters they were soaked to the bone. "Hello?" Stardust called out. "Where's everybody?" "Stardust here's a note." Brainy called out. "What's it say?" She asked. " They got called on a mission, and they didn't want to bug us." Brainy read. "Oh and they said not to follow them because they'll just send us back." Brainy finished. " Well, either way lets dry off and change clothes." Stardust suggested. "Good idea" Brainy said. "Wanna play chess afterwards?" he asked as she turned to go to her room. "Sounds like a perfect after date activity to me." Stardust replied as she went to change. After a few minutes they met in the lounge and set up the game. They spent the next two hours playing and enjoying each others company. "Yes!" I win!" Stardust cheered. "Only because I got distracted!" Brainy retorted. "Is that so?" she teased. "What distracted you?" Stardust continued teasing. "You." Brainy teased her. They both blushed, leaned towards each other about to kiss when. "WE'RE BAAACK!" Bouncy boy hollered. Brainy and Stardust jerked away continuing to blush. "Did we interrupt something?" Phantom Girl asked. Brainy and Stardust didn't answer but promptly darted away in separate directions. "We definitely interrupted something." Lightning Lad answered.
