Dick is on his date with Zoey, Wally is thinking about his spitfire, and Zatanna and Artemis are walking toward the nearest zeta tube covered in dog shit and paint.
"So what the hell just happened? Did we seriously just get pranked?" Artemis asked in disbelief.
"I think so." Zatanna replied also in disbelief.
"Unbelievable and we smell like shit! Can you change our clothes or something?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Because when I got caught sneaking out last night, Zatara put a spell on me where I can't use my magic unless I'm in danger."
"Oh, sorry about that."
"It's okay, my clone only sleeps so I was going to get caught sooner or later."
"Wow, surprised he didn't find out sooner."
"He's pretty clueless, but in his defense, I did do a pretty good job of being a 'good girl'."
"Haha, I can't see that."
Zatanna nudged Artemis playfully.
"Hey! If you can use magic when you're in danger, why don't I just punch you?" Artemis suggested.
"Won't work. The spell knows if I'm actually in danger or not." Zatanna replied.
"How?"
"Something about my blood pressure and heartbeat rising. Plus, my subconscious mind will know that you're not actually going to hurt me."
"Damn it."
"Yep."
"At least we're almost there."
"Yea but Black Canary is going to kill us for being late. Again."
"Recognized Artemis B-07"
"Recognized Zatanna B-08"
"About time girls." Black Canary said while wrapping her fists and with her back towards them.
"We're so sorry Black Canary, but we swear it wasn't our fault." Zatanna apologized.
"We got pranked!" Artemis tried to justify.
"Mhmm." Black Canary turned around to face them. "Just get rea-. What happened to you girls? And what's that smell?"
"We told you, we got pranked." Artemis said again.
"By who?" Black Canary asked.
"We don't know." Artemis said.
"Alright, well just go take a shower and then we'll proceed with your training." Black Canary ordered.
Zatanna and Artemis then went to go take a shower.
"That's a good point." Artemis said while testing the water.
"What's a good point?" Zatanna asked.
"Who pranked us. Can you pass the shampoo?"
"That's true, but how will we know? They were both wearing masks and we could barely see them." Zatanna said as she gave Artemis the shampoo.
"Thanks, and we know it has to be two people that know our secret identities so that narrows it down to the Team, the league, and our families.
"Well I don't think our families would do it, and I doubt anyone in the league would be immature enough to pull a prank on us. Shampoo."
"That's true, so that just leaves the Team." Artemis said giving back the shampoo.
"So who on the Team would prank us and why?" Zatanna asked.
"Well M'gann would never even think about pranking us, Connor isn't into pranking, Kaldur is too mature. So that just leaves the Boy Wonder and Kid Idiot." Artemis let out a sigh. "Should've known."
"Now that you mention it, the one I was chasing did get out of the ropes I tied him in pretty fast. But why would they prank us?"
"I don't know, but at least now I know why Wally didn't want to talk to me."
"Why?"
"Hello? It's Wally we're talking about here, Kid Mouth. He'd give away their little stunt in seconds."
"Haha true and see, I told you Wally loves you." Zatanna said jokingly.
"Yea, well I'm gonna show him how much I love him too." Artemis said cracking her knuckles.
"Good idea, but I'll think I'll take a different approach with Dick."
"How so?" Artemis asked.
"I'm just gonna kill him." Zatanna said nonchalantly.
"Good approach."
"Hurry up girls, we have a lot to do today!" Black Canary yelled.
The girls quickly finished showering and then went to train.
Meanwhile, Wally was still in his room thinking about Artemis when his phone rang. He looked to see who it was but ignored it when he saw it was from Dick or what he has him in his contacts as, 'Best Pal'. Dick called 3 more times, but Wally ignored all of them becoming angrier each time his 'Best Pal' called.
"Best Pal my ass. More like coldhearted, selfish piece of shit." Wally said violently.
Wally's phone rang again and of course it was Dick. Wally finally had enough and picked up and yelled, "What the fuck do you want!"
"I just want to talk." Dick replied.
"I obviously don't want to talk to you, hence the ignored phone calls!" Wally hissed back.
"I just wanted to say that I'm not gonna tell the girls that we pranked them."
Wally was shocked and began to calm down.
"Wait. Really? W-why?"
"Well, the date with Zoey didn't go so well."
"Why not? And why would that change your mind?"
"Well for starters, Zoey is annoying as hell, all she talks about is theatre, she's way too old for me, and she eats like a pig. But the main thing is that I couldn't keep my mind off Zatanna, especially after what you said on the roof. I couldn't imagine being without Zatanna, which made me realize that I had to put my pride aside if I wanted to keep her."
"I'm glad you came to your senses."
"Same, and I'm sorry that I wasn't the best, best pal. I was being selfish."
"Yea you weren't and you were being selfish; two things that Dick Grayson, has never been. So what was it about this whole pranking our girlfriends' thing that made you like that?"
Dick let out a sigh.
"Well when you told me how Zatanna said that she thought I was a bitch and how I haven't gone through puberty and stuff. It really pissed me off, and I just wanted to show, prove, to Zatanna and myself that I wasn't, that I could be assertive and could stand up for myself. Then Zoey asked me out and you said that Zatanna had me on a leash. I thought that if I could get this older girl to like me then I could show Zatanna that I'm mature for my age and that I could leave whenever I wanted, that I controlled the relationship. All that drove me to want to get Zatanna back and just shove it in her face. But then I remembered why I fell for Zatanna, it was because she was so assertive, because she was so mature and strong; qualities that I always wanted and admired."
"Dude, I never knew that. Why didn't you just tell me? That's what best pals are for."
"I know, I know. I should've just told you, but I just didn't want to admit to myself that I felt that way."
"I know what you mean. I felt like that when I started to have feelings for Artemis. I tried so hard to convince myself that I didn't, but in the end you just have to embrace it."
"Yea you're right. Thanks Wally."
"No problem man. By the way, can I still get the picture of Artemis?"
"Umm, sure if you want? But I thought you said you didn't want to blackmail Artemis?"
"Yea I know, but maybe later on. I think you should do the same with Zatanna's."
"Haha, alright. I'll give it to you tomorrow at Mount Justice."
"Sweet! See ya then, later!"
"Later."
Wally hung up and lied on his bed and thought to himself how he had the best, best pal and best girlfriend a guy could have until he fell asleep.
The next morning Dick did just as he said he would the night before and gave Wally the picture of Artemis to Wally.
"Hahaha this is awesome! Nice camera work dude!" Wally complimented.
"Thanks, it's all about the angle."
"Recognized Artemis B-07"
"Recognized Zatanna B-08"
Wally quickly tucked the picture in his back pocket and went to greet Artemis, but not quickly enough. Dick went to greet Zatanna too.
"Arty! Hey! It's been so long since we've talked, I've missed you!"
"Follow my lead." Artemis whispered to Zatanna.
"Hey babe! I've missed you too!" Artemis greeted back putting her arms out for a hug.
"I'm so glad to hear that!" Wally received the hug and kissed Artemis on the cheek.
"I've missed the sound of your voice Baywatch." Artemis said giddily while taking the picture out of Wally's back pocket.
"Well don't worry babe, I'll make up for time." Wally pecked Artemis on the lips.
"Oh I know you will with that big mouth of yours Kid Mouth." Artemis teased.
"Hey Zatanna!" Dick greeted.
"Hey Dickie! How've you been? I've missed you." Zatanna also put her arms out for a hug.
"I've been good, but I'm even better now, now that I'm with you." Dick said receiving the hug.
"Aww you're so sweet." Zatanna said while reaching into Dick's back pocket and giving him a kiss.
"Woah! Didn't know you missed me that much." Dick said as he pulled away from the kiss.
"Oh, I've missed you so much. I just need my Boy Wonder." Zatanna said as she kissed him again and reached into his other back pocket.
This time Dick didn't pull away, but Zatanna still didn't find anything.
"I'm going to get something to eat from the fridge, you want anything?" Zatanna asked.
"I'm good." Dick responded giving Zatanna one last peck before she went to the kitchen.
"I'll take something!" Wally shouted.
"Alright Wally, Artemis come with?"
"I'll get you something." Artemis said to Wally as she walked with Zatanna to the kitchen.
Once they were in the kitchen Artemis pulled out the picture she found. Artemis gasped when she saw it while Zatanna tried to hold back her laughter.
"It's not that funny!" Artemis whispered-shouted.
"It kind of is. Look at your face!"
"Well let's see yours!"
"Dick doesn't have it on him, he probably didn't take one."
"Ugh! Whatever, Wally is dead!"
"Ahh, I see you're gonna take my approach too. Good choice." Zatanna smiled sinisterly.
"Ready?" Artemis asked.
Zatanna shook her head.
Artemis walked out of the kitchen back to the living room where Wally and Robin were on the couch having a thumb war.
"Hey where's Zee?" Dick asked.
"And where's my snack babe?" Wally asked.
"She went to the bathroom, and sorry Baywatch I forgot."
"Aww man!" Wally whined.
Zatanna walked into the living room with Artemis' bow and arrows and Dick's utility belt.
"Here." Zatanna tossed the bow and arrows to Artemis.
"Hey, that's my utility belt!" Dick noticed. "What are you doing?"
"You'll see." Zatanna said aggressively.
"Care to explain this?" Artemis pulled out the picture of her.
Wally's face instantly grew red as he patted his back pocket.
"Shit." Wally said under his breath.
Both Wally and Dick stood up ready to escape.
"Okay, before you guys do anything, it was all Dick's idea!" Wally screamed.
"Dude!" Dick screamed back.
"Sorry man, I'm not taking the bullet for this one!"
"We don't care whose idea it was, you guys are both going to pay." Artemis said pointing two arrows at them.
"Woah! You could kill us with those Artemis!" Dick screamed as he hid behind Wally.
"Only if goes through your chest. Any other part of your body you would be just fine. It'll just hurt a lot." Artemis smiled sinisterly.
"Holy shit dude, I don't think she's playing!" Dick screamed.
"Arty. Babe. I'm really sorry, this was all Dick's fault. I didn't want to do it but he made me. He said if I didn't then he'd burn all of my souvenirs!"
"What the fuck! No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"Shut up!" Artemis screamed. "If he made you do it, then why'd you have the picture of me?"
"Exactly!" Dick shouted victoriously.
"Dick put it there?"
"Yea, not buying it Kid Dumbass. By the way, that's a good idea." Artemis looked at Zatanna and said, "We should burn all of his souvenirs."
"I was thinking the same thing!" Zatanna said.
"What?! Wait Artemis don't do that please! You know how much those souvenirs mean to me!" Wally pleaded.
"Sorry Wally, paybacks a bitch." Artemis said. "But we'll make that the finale."
Then Artemis shot both her arrows at them.
Dick and Wally both closed their eyes and screamed in terror. But instead of an arrow through their chest, they felt a net pin them to the wall.
"Shit we're stuck!" Wally exclaimed.
"No shit!" Dick shouted back.
Artemis and Zatanna started walking towards them.
"Dude, if we don't make it out of this alive, I just want to let you know that I'm better than you at Super Smash Bros." Wally said.
"What! No you're not you suck ass!"
"No you do!"
"No you do!"
"No you do!"
"Dude we're about to die! This isn't the time to be fighting over whose better at Super Smash Bros!" Dick shouted.
"Yea you're right. I love you dude." Wally said as he stretched his hand out to Dick's.
"I love you too." Dick grabbed Wally's hand.
"Aww that's so sweet." Zatanna said. "I'll make sure to make this as painful and long as possible.
Both Dick and Wally whimpered.
"Alright Zatanna, the floors all yours." Artemis said as she sat back on the couch getting ready to watch.
"Thanks Artemis." Zatanna said while pulling out two electronic chips. "Hmm, I wonder what these do?"
"Wait! Zatanna don't use those! They have over 500,000 volts in them!" Dick shouted in fear.
"Great, they're perfect." Zatanna said as she put them on their necks. "Ready?"
Dick and Wally gulped and squeezed each other's hands tighter. Then Zatanna pushed the button and watched her boyfriend, and her best friend's boyfriend scream in agony.
