-"hi Jay" Barbara said.

-"Hi Barb" Jason said.

-"What's up Jay? How do you like the hero gig?"

-"It's great"

-"And you and Dick?"

-"Great; I still tease him about his Batgirl poster but were good"

Barb was now laughing real hard and losing her balance.

"What's so funny?" Dick asked coming in to see them.

"Nothing" they mumbled together.

"You know I was trained by him too; I know when people are hiding something" Dick said.

"Nothing; Pixie Boots" Babs said chuckling.

"Don't call me that" Dick said.

"You know I don't listen" Babs said.

"Yeah; so Batman said that you and I are not going on patrol only him and Robin; so I've been thinking to go watch a movie" he said nervously.

"Like a date?" Babs asked.

"No… I mean yes… I mean if you want to…" Dick tried to talk; but then Jason cleared his throat.

"Wow Dick; you can go toe to toe with Joker but asking Barb on a date is too hard?" Jason said then left.

"So; you and Jason are close now?" Babs asked with a teasing tone.

"Yeah; turned out we have a lot in common" he said.

-"And you let him in your room?" Babs asked with that teasing tone again.

-"Yeah; why do you ask?" Dick asked curiously.

-"No reason" she said.

-"Really; are you trying to lie to someone who was trained by Batman himself?"

-"I'm not doing anything"

-"Oooh happy birthday by the way"

-"Speaking of birthdays; when will you tell me that surprise? It's been two years and a half now".

-"Not today"

-"Really?"

-"Yes; you'll have to wait longer"

-"At least tell me what is it?"

-"You'll find out"

-"Really; one surprise takes you two years and a half and you still won't tell me?" she asked; she already knew about the team but she wanted to hear it from him.

-"So; about that date"

-"Who said it was a date?" she teased.

-"Well; I mean… if you don't want…"

-"I was teasing; man you really need to take a chill pill Pixie Boots"

They laughed together.

"That movie was hilarious" Babs said laughing and opening the door to her house.

"Yeah and the part were they used the woman's head as a bowling ball" Dick said laughing.

"We were probably the only two who were laughing at the horror film while everyone else was screaming" Babs said.

"That was awesome" Dick said.

"Thanks Dick; tonight was pretty astrou; this is the best birthday ever" Babs said.

Dick leaned to her to kiss her; but before their lips touched his phone rang; they got apart and he picked his phone.

"Hello" he said to the phone.

"Alfred what's the matter? why are you crying?" Dick said.

"What's going on?" Babs asked.

Dick's eyes widened; his phone fell and he felt to the ground; Babs picked the phone and kneeled next to Dick.

-"Alfred; what's happening?" Babs asked to the phone.

-"It's Master Jason... he..."

-"What happened to Jason?"

-"He is dead; Joker killed him"

The phone felt to the ground again and Babs was now crying next to Dick.

After the funural

-"It was all my fault" Robin said as he was on top of Wayne Enterprises to no one; he was alone in the middle of the night.

-"No it wasn't" came a female voice from behind him; it was Batgirl; she came and sat next to him.

-"Yes it was; I asked Batman for a night off; if i was there I could have saved him"

-"No; Batman told me he ran after Joker and it happened so fast even Batman couldn't do anything"

-"But that's just it; he ran after Joker because he wanted to prove himself to be a good Robin; he wanted to be the better Robin"

-"You don't know that"

-"Yes I do; a couple days ago I heard him talking in his sleep on how he needed to be a better Robin; if I just gave up the mantle of Robin non of this would have happened"

-"Dick; it's okay, I know it hurts but somethings just happen and you can't change it"

With that they hugged
