A to Z, an Anthology
Kermis
Diana tried not to laugh at what was going on in front of her. Granted, it had been her idea for her and Bruce to enjoy the festival taking place outside of Gotham, and Bruce had been reluctant, so it would not do for her to be entertained when he was clearly so frustrated.
She busied herself eating the funnel cake she had bought just a few minutes ago, lest he pick up on her amusement. However, as Diana continued to watch, she had a feeling that Bruce was thoroughly engrossed and determined to win the game in front of him.
Batman losing at the fish toss, Diana thought. Wally and Shayera will never believe this.
It was true. Bruce had already put at least twenty dollars down on the game as he struggled to get the balls into the center jars, which would earn him several fish as his prize. Diana, though, just couldn't understand why he was having so much trouble with it. She had seen him make far more difficult shots, and under apocalyptic circumstances.
"Damn it," she heard him mutter when his last ball missed. Diana couldn't help but snort, which caused her hands to jerk just enough that some of the powdered sugar flew off of the funnel cake and onto her face.
Bruce turned and looked at her. His blue yes promptly narrowed. "Not a word, Princess," he said quietly, "or I'll tell Clark you mocked the potato sack slides."
Diana's response was the epitome of grace and dignity – she stuck her tongue out at him.
He just rolled his eyes and went back to the game, leaving Diana to continue to be amused. She honestly hadn't had so much fun in a long time.
Kermis: n. country fair; fundraising festival.
