A/N: I'm in denial. I don't think it's hit me yet that after next week there will be no more Young Justice. How do you guys think it will end? I'm really hoping they do like a future thing as the last scene and all the old members arrive at the cave with their kids and it's their first day as the new Young Justice. I'm probably the only one who thinks that, but does anyone else think that that would be a good way to end?

Here's chapter eleven, the second part to the Belle of the Ball. Originally there was just going to be two parts, but I am adding a third because this chapter was getting like super long, so part three will be up soon and then they will be going back to the S.S. Justice.

Disclaimer: If I had a billion trillion dollars, I would totally buy Cartoon Network and keep Young Justice on air. But seeing as I only have two dollars and some gum in pocket...basically I own nothing.

The Belle of the Ball Part 2

"So that was Cameron, as in, your ex Cameron?" Wally asks incredulously. I just nod, staring into the woods he disappeared into. "This is so messed up."

"Nice guy you got there Artemis." Conner says.

"He's become more like his dad. He wasn't always like that. We were friends for so long and then when we first got together... he was the same old Cam, now he...he's someone different." Artemis says sadly.

Cam and her used to always complain about their father's together, about how they were never going to be like that. Looks like Cameron had taken a complete volte-face since then.

"Hey, you okay? Did he hurt you at all?" Wally asks, concern etched across his face. Artemis shakes her head.

"Good." Conner tells her. The three of them turn to where Dick is comforting Zatanna. When she spots Artemis she breaks away from Dick and runs up hugging her friend.

"You were so tough! Thank you, without you, I think I would have lost it." Zatanna tells her.

"Zee, you wouldn't have been in that situation if it weren't for me. I'm so sorry." Artemis tells her, feeling terrible. Her friend could have been killed tonight, and it was all because of her. "I am so sorry Zee."

"Hey, don't blame yourself 'Mis, it was that creep of an ex boyfriend of yours. Seriously what did you see in him?" Dick asks, putting a protective arm around Zatanna.

"We were friends as kids, our dads' did business together." Artemis tells them lamely. The sun had completely disappeared from the sky now. "Can we head back to Oliver's and Dinah's?"

"Yeah, I've had enough excitement for one night." Zatanna says. The five of them walk in mostly silence back to the house. It really wasn't a far walk, but to Artemis, it felt like forever.

"Hey, you sure you okay Artemis?" Wally asks her, both of them having strayed away from the other three.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Something else is bothering you though. You've been acting weird since I've arrived. Did...did Roy tell you anything or say anything to you?" Wally asks.

"No." Artemis replies. It wasn't exactly a lie; she had done all the speaking.

"Oh okay." Wally says sounding...relieved? She was confused, why was he relieved?

"Wally...what did you do?" Artemis asked him.

"Nothing Beautiful, really." Wally stammers out. She would have analyzed the fact that he called her beautiful a little bit more, if she wasn't slowly becoming more furious. She had had a sucky day, and she knew it was just about to get worse.

"Wally what did you do?" Artemis asks. The two of them had stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. The other three turned around, but when they saw the angry expression on Artemis' face, they realized that it was probably just best to keep moving.

"I...I..." Wally stammers.

"Spit it out Baywatch!" Artemis shouts.

"I may have agreed to spy on you for Roy." Wally says, his voice barely a whisper.

"You did what? What the hell Wally! I thought we were friends." Artemis yells.

"It's not what you think, I know how much Roy ragging on you all the time was bothering you so I agreed to help him find information if he would stop." Wally tells her.

"I can't believe you would do something so stupid! You betrayed my trust, for Roy?" Artemis shouts.

"Roy...Artemis you need to understand, I've been friends with Roy for years. He pretty much told Dick and I that we couldn't be friends with both of you. I did this so I wouldn't have to choose." Wally tells her.

"Then why wasn't Dick spying on me too?" Artemis questions.

"He walked away from it. He...didn't agree with it." Wally says quietly.

"Well now you don't have to choose between us Baywatch, I'm making the decision for you." With that, Artemis spins around and runs off, leaving Wally feeling like the biggest jerk on the planet.

Wally sighed angrily as he stepped back into Queen Manor. He had seen Dick and Bruce leaving for their hotel while he was walking up the long driveway. Dick had given him this weird look as the car passed by, as if he didn't already feel horrible enough.

He knew that Artemis was somewhere inside this house, avoiding him. He couldn't believe just how badly he had messed up. Even worst, she just had to find out after having a confrontation with her horrible ex. He walked up the staircase and went to the room he was sharing with Conner. For once, he was not hungry for his after dinner snack at all.

"I can't believe you agreed to do that." Conner says. Wally groans into his mattress.

"Con, I already feel like shit, can we not make it worst." Wally says.

"Artemis is my friend, I'm just looking out for her." Conner tells him.

"I was just trying to get Roy to back off of her."

"By spying on her for him? I thought you were the smart one Kid Flash." Conner was obviously disappointed; Wally could hear it in his voice.

"Can we please stop talking about this?" Wally asks.

"Fine, but you need to find someway to make it up to her." Conner informs him. Wally groans into his mattress again.

"I can't believe you!" Artemis shouted as she walked into the small archery range in the basement. "I can't fucking believe you!"

Roy spun around, a look of confusion on his face as the blonde archer approached him with tears in her eyes.

"What?" He asks.

"Don't pretend you don't know. You were so damn paranoid about me that you had to turn my friend against me? I hate you." Artemis yells.

"Oh...that." Roy says, regretting his actions.

"Yeah that. I can't believe you. Did you know that when I was little, I always wanted a big brother? When I heard Dinah talk about you, I thought, maybe just maybe I could have that wish come true. And then I meet you and you are nothing but rude and mean to me! But this is my life, so I should have seen that coming." Artemis says, laughing bitterly.

"Artemis...I'm really sorry for my actions." Roy tells her, honestly.

"Great, now you pity me. See, this is why I didn't want to tell anyone. I didn't want to be pitied for having the worst childhood in the history of childhoods!'' Artemis yells, knowing she was being a bit dramatic, but she felt that she deserved the right. "Why couldn't you have just accepted me without knowing my past? Why?"

"I...I'm just really sorry Artemis." Roy says, unsure about what else to say. She rolls her eyes.

"The day I believe that is the day that pigs flies." With that Artemis walked away from Roy and back up the stairs.

"Oh my gosh, you look so pretty!" Megan squeals. Zatanna and Raquel nod their heads in agreement. I stared at myself in Dinah's three-way mirror. The dress was beautiful, Dinah sure knew style. It was a strapless floor length green dress. It had a sweetheart neckline and it hugged her chests and stomach, showing off her abs, and then at her hips it became a looser fabric the fell to the floor. A small white ribbon went around her hip right where the clingy fabric met the loose fabric. It was simple and elegant at the same time, it was perfect.

"Dinah has great taste." Raquel proclaims. "I mean look at all the clothes in here." The four girls look around Dinah's huge walk in closet.

"Thanks Raquel." Dinah says popping into the closet. "Artemis did you pick..." She rounds rack of clothes and sees Artemis in the dress. "Oh my gosh, you look amazing Artemis."

"Thanks." Artemis says blushing from all the attention.

"You girls go get your dresses, you can do your make up in here." Dinah proclaims. The other three all filter out of the closet and Dinah turns to her. "Should we talk about yesterday?"

"Roy knows now, there isn't anything to talk about Dinah." Artemis says.

"Well, it came out in a way I know you never wanted it too. I'm just trying to make sure you are okay." Dinah tells her, making Artemis feel bad. Her and Ollie did so much for her she owed them everything.

"I just... it hurts that he couldn't trust me without knowing. Now if he actually starts to tolerate me, I won't know if it is because he actually likes being around me or because he pities me." Artemis says. "I also hate that I felt ashamed of myself. I'm ashamed to be Artemis Crock. I don't want to be her anymore."

Dinah pulls the young girl, practically her daughter, into her arms. "Don't ever feel ashamed about yourself Artemis. You are a beautiful, funny, sarcastic, witty girl and Roy will come around to liking you for you, not because of anything remotely like pity. It will just take time, but I promise it will happen. Okay?"

"Okay." Artemis says with a small smile.

"Good. I think I hear the others coming." Dinah says with a smile. A few seconds later, Zatanna, Megan, and Raquel enter back into the large closet carrying their dresses. Dinah smiled and then disappeared.

"Okay, whose make up am I doing first?" Megan asks her friends.

Forty-five minutes, the girls were all ready Dinah had only come in one other time to retrieve her own dress and shoes. Artemis stared at herself in a mirror in shock.

"Megan, what did you do to me?" Artemis asks.

"You don't like it?" Megan questions, worried.

"Like it? Megan, I love it. I look so different." Artemis says. Artemis' hair was down, which is rare enough as it is, but Megan had taken a strip of hair on each side of her hair and had clipped them together so that all her hair flowed down her back in an endless stream of blonde hair. She was actually wearing make up and jewelry. "Thank you Megan."

"What else are friends for?" Megan asks laughing, hugging Artemis.

"Damn girl, you look hot." Raquel states, coming around the corner from where she had been changing into her dress.

"You too." Artemis says smiling.

"Okay, is everyone ready now?" Zatanna asks, emerging back in the closet. She had forgotten her shoes in Artemis' room and had had to make a break for it.

Megan slipped on her heels. "Now we are." She says smiling.

"Girls, the cars are here! We're going over now!" Dinah's voice shouts from somewhere outside of the closet.

"Come on." Zatanna says giggling, grabbing her friends.

^^^^^^Line Break^^^^^^^^^^^

Wally had his hands in his suit jacket pocket, still a little down from everything that had happened with him and Artemis. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been. He was barely listening to the conversation between his other friends.

Everyone but Dinah, Raquel, Megan, Zatanna, and Artemis was waiting in the front hall. Oliver was helping people into the limos that were parked out front in the long driveway. They were really going all out for this shindig. He had already spotted Hal, Barry, Arthur, Augustus, Diana, Shayera, and Katar. He could also see John, Clark, Billy, John (Stewart) chatting together near the door.

Dinah appeared first in a long black evening gown, looking stressed. She raced down the stairs, well as fast as you could in heels, over to Oliver. Wally could just barely make out the conversation.

"Ollie, all the limos are here correct?" She asked. Oliver just puts an arm around his girlfriend.

"Dinah, they are all here, calm down a little bit." He soothes. Wally didn't hear anymore of the conversation because at that moment the girls appeared. It was really a scene out of any cheesy romantic comedy. Wally, Dick, Kaldur, and Conner were all waiting at the bottom of the staircase as the girls came down the stairs. Wally probably would have reflected more on the cheesiness of it, but he soon spotted Artemis, and his mouth fell to the floor.

Not only was she wearing a dress, but she was also wearing heels, and jewelry, and her hair was down. He briefly took in his other friends, before turning back to Artemis. Zatanna wore a dark purple dress with spaghetti straps and a black belt at the waist. It poofed out slightly at the belt and fell to a little before her knees. Where she usually kept her hair down, tonight it was up in a bun with small strands of hair escaping to frame her face. Megan wore a pink dress of course. It had one shoulder and fell down all the way to the floor. A small slit went up to her knee on one side of the dress. The dress had a sort of shimmery material around it as well. Raquel walked down besides Megan, the two of them chatting amicably. She wore a gray strapless dress that like Zatanna's came down to just above her knees. It was tight until about midway down her stomach where it became less fitted. Around the bottom was a magenta colored fabric so the dress was not completely gray.

Artemis' eyes briefly met Wally's, but she looked away just as quickly, smiling when Oliver came over and hugged her, speaking quietly to her. His friends had all gone over to the girls to compliment them, and he followed suit, his eyes still trained on Artemis. What is happening?

^^^^^^Line Break^^^^^^^^^

The gala was a huge success. Everything went according to plan. The dinners were brought out on time, the band arrived on time, the speeches were made flawlessly, and when the dinner and speech portion of the evening was over, the tables were cleared away flawlessly and the band began to play. The adults were intoxicated just enough to be letting loose and having fun, but nobody was drunk enough to be making a complete fool of themselves. Most importantly, Dinah had managed not to have a complete meltdown, mostly thanks to Ollie who was now dancing and gliding around the floor with a laughing Dinah.

Artemis smiled from where she stood against the sidewall. She examined the crowd again, hoping that Cameron's threat was just a threat and nothing more. She spotted a laughing Zatanna as Dick tried to teach her how to waltz, of course he would know as the adopted son of Bruce Wayne. To her left Conner and Megan were sitting at one of the tables off to the side talking and smiling. Raquel and Kaldur were spotted next; drinking glasses of champagne that Dinah had said was alright for them to have. Artemis was actually surprised that Kaldur would be the one to have a drink, being the rule stickler.

The one person Artemis could not see was Wally. He had disappeared somewhere after the dinner and speeches. She hadn't seen him since, not that she cared. Or at least she told herself she didn't care at all. The other person she hadn't spotted until then was Roy, who was talking with some of the kids she recognized from her Star City Orphanage days. She did not want to talk to them even less then she wanted to talk to Wally.

"Hey Blondie." Speak of the devil. Artemis spun around to see Wally standing next to her. She bit the inside of her lip in annoyance. Why did he have to look so hot in a suit? She was supposed to be mad at him. Artemis quickly shook those thoughts out of her head, she and Wally were just friends...err...they were before he agreed to spy on her.

"What do you want Baywatch?" Artemis asked him.

"Well, I'm the only one who doesn't seem to have a dance partner, and you don't either..." Wally trails off. In her temporarily distracted state, she had not noticed Raquel and Kaldur move to the dance floor or Megan and Conner.

"No." Artemis tells him.

"Come on Babe, its only one dance. You can be mad at me again later." Wally suggests.

"No."

"Artemis..." Something flashes across Wally's face. He grins. "You don't know how to dance."

"I do too know how to dance, just not like that." Artemis said pointing to the dancing pairs in the center of the ballroom.

"Okay, I'm going to teach you and I'm not taking no for an answer. You can be mad at me tomorrow." Wally insists, grabbing Artemis' hand and pulling her out on to the dance floor. She tried to protest, but they fell on silent ears.

"Okay I'm going to hold your left hand." Wally begins when they get out onto the dance floor. "Then you put your other hand on my shoulder and I put my hand on your hip." They arrange themselves as he said. "Okay, now just follow my lead. I know that could me a bit difficult for a bossy pants like you, but try to go with it."

Artemis follows his lead, praying that she would not fall in her ridiculous heels. They were so impractical. At first they stumbled a little bit, but Artemis was a quick learned and pretty soon the two of them were waltzing around the dance floor.

"How did you learn to dance like this anyway?" Artemis asks him.

"My aunt Iris taught me. She thinks that every teenage boy should know how to do the most basic of a waltz for events like these." Wally tells her. She laughs, picturing Wally and a feminine version of him waltzing around a living room in Central City. "You laugh, but it is actually quite a good way to pick up chicks."

"Gross Baywatch." Artemis tells him, but she was still smiling.

"Artemis," Wally starts, his tone suddenly serious. "I'm really sorry for agreeing to Roy. I was really afraid of loosing a friend, and in the process I did anyway, I lost you. I never ever should have agreed to help him, I'm an idiot."

"A dumb idiot." Artemis counters.

"A super dumb idiot." Wally tells her. "Do you think you could ever forgive me? It's only been a day and I kind of miss your sarcastic comments."

She wasn't sure what it was, maybe the dancing or the music or just the magical evening, but Artemis found herself nodding. "Yeah, I forgive you Baywatch."

"And I promise to never ever ask you anything you don't want to tell me. You can tell when you are ready." Wally says smiling. Artemis does something equally shocking then; she puts her head against his chest as the two continue to dance around. She smiled widely, wishing that this could never end.

But of course, everything has to come to an end at some point.

A/N: Please Review? Did you guys like this? Did Wally and Artemis make up to fast? Tell me what you think on my idea for an ending scene for Young Justice too. How do you guys think it should end? I would love to know.
