Stephanie was lying on her bed. She was waiting for a call, a special one from Gregory William. Gregory was a guy that she met at the library of her school. He was nice, smart, and handsome and he wanted to be a lawyer. He was perfect. They have been together for almost 4 months.

Stephanie was so lost in her thoughts of Greg that she almost missed his call. She picked up the phone and answer.

''Hey Greg,'' said Stephanie.

''Hey pretty one,'' he answered. ''Do you have something planned tonight,'' he asked.

Without thinking, Stephanie said

''Nop. I'm completely yours''

''Cool… I was wondering if you'd like to go to a dinner tonight. With me,'' he nervously asked.

Stephanie laughed. She loved how, even after 4 months, he was still shy to talk to her.

''No,'' she joked.

''Oh. Ok, I get it. Maybe another day,'' said Gregory without realizing she was joking.

''Oh Greg… I was kidding. I would love to go out with you tonight. But I'll have to do some stuff first. I'll join you there''

''Oh great! The dinner is at Chez Tiffany at 7 o'clock''

''I'll see you there Greg''

''Ok. Love you,'' he added.

''Love you too. Byeeeeee''

Stephanie closed her phone. She closed her eyes, thinking of what she could wear at the dinner, what makeup she would wear and etc. And then, then she realize what a mistake she had made. Tonight she was supposed to go out patrol.

''Crap! Damn it,'' she said.


''I need a replacement for tonight's patrol,'' she said as she entered the Batcave.

Dick Grayson was sitting on a chair, near to the computer. Damian, him, was standing up right behind Dick. They turned around to look at a nervous Stephanie.

''What for,'' asked Damian.

''I have a date at 7 o'clock and I don't think I could make the patrol''

Dick smiled. It reminded him of his relationship with Barbara. Damian frowned.

''Ok… I'll see what I can do,'' he said.

''Tt. She's putting a citizen in danger, Grayson. She cannot date him. It would be an irresponsible decision to let her see him, '' whined the Boy wonder.

Stephanie and Dick looked at Damian. They knew Damian wasn't mad because Stephanie was dating a citizen and that could kill the men. He was mad because she was dating someone. Stephanie and Dick acted like Damian didn't say something.

''Who's the lucky one,'' asked Dick.

''Gregory William, a guy from school. He's nice, intelligent, sweet and handsome. Annndddd he wants to be a lawyer,'' smiled Stephanie.

Stephanie looked like a teenager talking about her first love. She was happy.

''Well, I hope it'll work out. And if this boy turned out to be a jerk, don't be surprised if you found his dead body,'' smirked Dick.

''Thanks a lot 'big brother','' teased Stephanie.

''You have to be joking Grayson. You cannot let her see him. She could kill him. Father won't approve it,'' frowned Damian.

''Damian, I do not need your father's approval to date who I want to date.'' said Stephanie.

''Tt''

''Whatever, I'm going to shop with Cass,'' said Stephanie to Dick.

''Bring Damian with you''

''WHAT,'' said Stephanie and Damian at the same time. ''No. No no no no no no no. I will not go shopping with him,'' added Stephanie.

''That's the condition for me to replace you,'' smirked Dick.

''Arg,'' screamed Stephanie as she walked upstairs.


Stephanie, Damian and Cassandra were walking in the mall, looking for Stephanie's dress.

''What is Damian doing here,'' asked Cassandra with a smile.

''Long story,'' said Stephanie.

''It have been an hour since we left home and you didn't find your dress yet,'' whined Damian.

''It's always like that. She's always slow'' said Cassandra toward Damian.

Damian rolled his eyes. What was the most frustrating? The fact that Stephanie was dating someone or that Damian had to stay with her to shop.

''Oh c'mon guys. It's not that bad. It's not like you were- ,'' started Stephanie.

She had everything she was doing. She was standing there, in front of a dress. The dress she was looking for.

''What is going on,'' asked Damian to Cass.

''I think she found her dress,'' she said.

Stephanie looked hypnotized by the dress. She rushed into the store to found the dress, followed by her two friends. The dress wasn't like any other dress. Stephanie looked for a clerk.

''Can I help you,'' asked the red headed clerk.

''Yes you can,'' smiled Stephanie. ''Do you have this purple dress,'' she added while pointing at the dress she saw earlier.

''Yes follow me''

Stephanie disappeared with the clerk in the back of the store. Damian and Cassandra were waiting for her near the dressing room. She came back several minutes later with four purple dresses.

''Don't tell me she is going to try those dresses,'' said Damian.

''She is,'' said, padding Damian's shoulder.

They both walked toward Stephanie.

''It won't take long,'' said Stephanie.

Actually, she was right. It didn't took that much of time to try the fourth of them. No dresses looked as good with no one in then it looked on Stephanie. Stephanie sat on a chair with a sullen face.

''Ohhhhh,'' she sighed sadly.

''It's ok Steph, I'm sure we'll find a dress for you. Huh Damian,'' asked Cassandra turning around to look at an empty chair where Damian was supposed to be sitting in.

The two girls were waiting for Damian to show up. It took a while, but he came back with an awesome purple dress.

''Here,'' he said giving to Stephanie the dress. ''The clerk said it would look good on you,'' lied the Boy wonder.

Sooner, he had withdrawn to look for a dress for Stephanie. He was walking around and then he suddenly stopped in front of the dress. He could imagine Stephanie in it.

''Thanks little D,'' smiled Stephanie. She gave the dress to Cass so she could be able to hug Damian. Her head was resting on Damian's shoulder.

''Get off of me, fat wench,'' whined Damian.

Damian acted like he wanted her to get off of him but he was the one who kept her in his arms. He putted them around Stephanie's waist, pushing her closer to him. He never wanted this moment to end. He could smell her shampoo and her cheap perfume.

''Thanks a lot,'' added Steph with a kiss on Damian's cheek.

He turned completely red.

''What was she doing,' 'he thought.

She freed herself from Damian's arms. She took the dress from Cassandra's hands and entered the dressing room.

''Steph, I'll be back soon, I just have to go to the washroom,'' said Cass.

Damian gave her a what-do-you-think-you're-doing-leaving-me-here-alo ne gaze. But that didn't stop her, for a respond to this gaze, Cassandra smiled and then leaved. Stephanie came five minutes later, asking for Cassandra to zip the back of her dress.

''Cassandra isn't there, Brown. Have you gone senile yet,'' said Damian.

''You really know how to talk to a girl,'' she said getting her head out of the dressing room. ''Can you zip my dress pleaseeeeeeee''

''I will not. Find a way on you one,'' frowned Damian.

''Oh please Damian. If you don't, I'll tell Dick about this''

''Fine,'' he respond after a long time of hesitation.

He got up from his chair and walked toward the dressing room Stephanie was in. He opened the door, founding and half naked Steph. Her skin was white like porcelain; she looked like a fragile doll. She was purple and her panties were black with a yellow bat symbol on the back of it.

''Are you going to zip my dress or are you just going to stand at my underwear''

''What are you talking about, Brown? Who would want to-''

''Damian, I can see you trough the mirror,'' smirked Stephanie.

Damian blushed a lot. His hands became sweaty. Stephanie was cold to the touch. She looked like she was freezing. Damian's hands went on Stephanie hips, pushing her to the nearest wall. He held her thigh, chest against chest. Steph putted her hands around Damian's neck.

''Damian wha-what are you doing,'' asked Stephanie.

Stephanie was looking at Damian's eyes. They use to be blue but they were black because Damian's pupil dilated, letting a little blue line appear. She couldn't stop but glaring at Damian's lips, than at his eyes. He was…handsome.

''What I should have done,'' he responded.

His lips were close to Stephanie's. She looked at him, waiting for him to do something, waiting for him to kiss her. He gently putted his lips against hers. He kissed her, and she kissed him back. She felt his tongue in her mouth. How come he knows how to kiss?

''What-What am I doing,'' thought Stephanie. ''I have a boyfriend. ''

A boyfriend who is allowed to date her, a boyfriend who wasn't eight years younger than her, a boyfriend who wasn't there at this very moment.

But that wasn't it. She liked Greg. She putted her hands on Damian's chest, and then gently pushed him away. It took a few second before he opened his eyes.

''Did I did something wrong,'' he asked without getting his hands off of her hips.

''Yeah…No… I don't know she said. Damian we can be-''

He cut her off by kissing her, but she pushed him away.

''Damian, we can't,'' she added, pushing his hands out from her hips. She took his hands in hers. ''What you want to do with me is not even legal. Your father wouldn't approve it. And I have a boyfriend, '' she said nervously.

''Who cares of your boyfriend or even my father,'' he said pressing his forehead against hers.

Stephanie smiled and looked at his eyes. She freed her right hand and putted it on Damian's cheek.

''I don't want to,'' she added.

That was the words that made Damian understand. He freed himself and got out from the dressing room. He sat on a chair, like nothing ever happened. Cassandra came a few minutes after with a water bottle.

''Hey,'' she said sitting down on a chair near Damian. ''Sorry, I took a while, but I was starving. Are you done yet Steph,'' she asked.

''Yes I'm done,'' responded Stephanie.

She got out of the dressing room. She looked amazing in the dress. The dress was long and purple. The back of it, the sleeves and a little part of the front of the dress were made with purple lace. At the front of the dress, the lace shaped a cleavage. The rest of the dress was simple, at her waist, the dress got tighter. She looked like a goddess.

In the dressing room Damian was so focused on Stephanie that he didn't even notice her dress. The dress he chose for her.

''I think you found your dress,'' said Cass. ''We can finally go home''
