The Rachettes were the welcoming committee for the dance. The five girls stood right inside the entrance at a long, rectangular table handing out fliers and menu prices for some food and craft on sale. Apparently the graduation class was trying to get its fundraising done early. When they saw Zatanna it was like a domino effect. First Rachel smiled and one by one the others smiled too; and they were all conniving smiles. If Zatanna didn't know better she'd have said the joker injected them with joker venom or something. Their smiles seemed to fall off their faces with the wideness of the grins.

Rachel got up, walked towards Zatanna and Dick and the others followed her.

"Well hi zuzu"

"Hey biatchchel, oh sorry that's not your name is it?"

ROBIN POV

The moment Robin saw the girls sitting at the table look at Zatanna and nodded knowingly and smiles like that; he felt he could understand how she would've felt if they had found out she didn't have a boyfriend.

"Well, well look who we have here, a little boy" she looked at him and snickered. Almost immediately all the other girls began snickering too.

"Hey he's only a little taller than me," Mimi said snorting "how old are you little boy ten?"

Dick noticed how the whole auditorium seemed to be listening to the exchange. Some had cell phones on and recording, other had theirs on posed and ready to record. "No and how old are you 8? Or maybe it's seven since you've got those cute little pull able cheeks" and with this he pulled her cheeks the way some elderly persons sometimes did with their grandchildren.

"yeah but at least we're tall enough to reach our dates, you, not so much" this was from Rachel who was filing her nails in a bored manner."

"Good one Rach." Said Tiff giggling

"What did I tell you about that, to YOU, its Rachel not Rach? You're not important enough for that yet or never."

"Oh right Rachel"

"Ugh! You infuriate me!" she then snapped her fingers and popped back her head in a oh no you didn't way.

"Girls, bags, tiff, now, get us new punch as well"

While they argued among each other, Dick had pulled Zatanna towards a table.

"I'm going for punch and something to eat "

"Great. I'll just sit here"

ZATANNA POV

Zatanna smiled. At least it didn't feel so forced and pushed. She actually felt like she was on a real date. Her smile faded as she saw the Rachettes headed towards the table.

"So," said jo-jo "how's your date with shorty?" the mocking laughter followed after this statement. Zatanna clenched her hands into fists

'I will not use magic on these Barbie Dolls, that only proves they can control me' she gave a sigh of relief when Rob- no Dick slid the slice of pizza and the glass of punch towards her.

"Here you go pepperoni and punch."

"Thanks"

"No prob" Zatanna calmly sipped her punch, ignored the "threatening" presence to the side of her and began to engage in a conversation with Dick.

"So even though my dad still needs to agree to let me join the group. I still keep tabs on you guys. I heard the last training exercise…" Zatanna faltered, she didn't want to bring up the Megan's out of control powers incident. From what her dad told her it was almost real and extensive therapy had to be used afterwards.

"He's not even your real boyfriend is he?" said Rachel sniffing "he's a fake date"

"No he's not, he's an amazing boyfriend"

"How old is he?"

"13 turning 14 soon"

"Name?"
" Dick- it's a nickname"

"What's his full name?"

ROBIN POV

"Hey what badge is that you've got pinned on your chest?"Dick asked trying to see if he could break her conversation."

"It's the Robin Fan Club Vice President badge and underneath it is my old membership badge. Soon I will rise to the position of President!"

Zatanna smiled and thought' well if she wants to meet Robin he's right her so she could mob him if she wanted.

"Don't change the subject! If you're boyfriend and girlfriend you should've at least kiss already"

"Yes we have seen?" Zatanna quickly picked Dick on the cheek

"On the lips"

"No!"

"Yes! See they are so fake"

Dick was getting tired of this back and forth banters. "Listen we're a couple I'll prove it. Zatanna looked at him quizzically. He reached behind her head and used the hand to propel Zatanna's head forwards. Their eyes met for an instant just before he crushed his lips to hers.

ZATANNA POV

Zatanna was shocked. In fact shock was to mild a word to describe what she was feeling. 'What the hell was Dick doing kissing her? dammit didn't he realize that now-' Zatanna lost thought as Dick gently began to kiss her. His hand squeezed her shoulder as if to tell her not to run and that it would be okay. 'I hope he knows what he….' Dick began to tongue kiss her. ' what the-! How could he know how to do this he's only 13?'

"There, now if you excuse me, my girlfriend and I would like some privacy" this was said to the Rachettes and the crowd that had gathered.

Zatanna's face was red. She knew it was

"But- but bu- bu- bu"

"C'mon Rach it's obvious she's a slut!" Mimi said sniffing

"Yeah let's go" jo-jo said shaking her hair and turning back towards the entrance.

The rest of them turned and shook their hair and shot us these looks like we had insulted them. Just before Tiff stalked off with the rest of them, Dick grabbed her hand.

"Why do you stay with her as a "friend"? She obviously doesn't treat you with respect or like you're even in her world."

"Once you join Rachel's group, it's best for your social life if you don't dump her group."

"Tiffany, this isn't you. When I first saw you at the beginning of the first semester, you were this aspiring photographer and writer who joined the newspaper in order to bring truth and honest news to the school population. It wasn't much but you were doing something you loved. The "you" now isn't you" Zatanna looked her in the eye as she said this, hoping Tiffany would understand. "Don't be afraid to be yourself."

"Tiff come here NOW!" Rachel shrieked across the room. Tiffany looked at Rachel, then at Zatanna. She did this several times.

"I' sorr- sorry," she looked ready to cry, "I c-can't, I'm not confident enough. Rachel would squash me like a bug."

"Tiff! Ugh! While you're there get us some sparkling water won't you." Tiffany flinched

"I'm no one's slave" a fire began to lit in her eyes. "Thanks, I guess, Zatanna" and with that she turned back towards Rachel "for reminding of who I am."
