ROBIN POV
Zatanna and I watched as the girl Tiffany walked back towards the other one, the Queen Bee Rachel. We both had confused looks on our faces when Tiffany snapped her fingers like she had forgotten something and walked back to the refreshments table. She returned with a tray of three small glasses and one large one. She walked up to the table and set the glasses down by the three girls. When she reached for the big glass to set by Rachel her instead "accidently" knocked over the cup and spilt red punch down and all over the front of Rachel's dress. We laughed as Rachel's loud shriek filled the room and brought attention to her predicament. Smothered laughter. Giggles and chuckles filled the room as people began to take out phones and video cameras to film the memorable event. Apparently people didn't like Rachel very much. I thought I even saw her" Rachettes" smiling behind their glasses from which they were "drinking."
Now that the humorous sight of Rachel spluttering over spilt milk or in this case punch was gone. Dick was aware that Zatanna had turned to look at him. When he turned to look at her, the awkwardness of the situation and what he had done had him at full force. He nearly winced and blushed but years of training from Batman taught him to keep his emotions in check. But what had he been thinking?
'Does she hate me know? Is it going to be all difficult and weird when we talk to each other? Wh-'
"So about the kiss" Zatanna stopped as if carefully considering her next words "why did you kiss me?"
"Um, well, 'what the! Was he nervous? He who could face off the power-hungry, crazy, psychopathic joker without blinking was nervous talking to a girl. '
"Well?" she prompted
"Um. Well she wanted to see if you and I were boyfriend and girlfriend by - not that I wouldn't have kissed you otherwise. I- I mean I did kind of do it to up show her but – but not that I didn't like it I mean let's just forget it happened.
Zatanna who while was talking had turned VERY red merely nodded
"Yes we shall" an awkward silence filled the spaced. None of us really know what to do.
"So wan to dance?" I asked nervously, a bit shy 'wanna dance?' I chastised myself 'I can almost hear what Wally would say" a dance? You asked her to dance at a dance! Haha ha ha…"'
"Sure, I guess" I smiled as we got up to dance
ZATANNA POV
After about fifteen minutes of awkward dancing. We decided to sit down before we embarrassed each other. We got some more punch and sipped it and talked about our favorite things. During that session I felt I was getting to know Dick better. Something odd happened though, when I asked him about his last name he told me he didn't want people to be "friends with him because his did had a lot of money. I told him I understood. Not about the whole lot of money but along the same terms- someone wanting to be "friends" with you because you or your dad has or has done something special.
After this little talk, we began to get bored out of our minds. 'What the hell was at dances that everyone acted like it was the whole world?'
"Black Canary, we're ready to go" Dick had pulled out a phone "yes, no, yes out of our minds, yes, bye"
He turned to me "let's go"
The sleek black car slid silently to the curb. Dick and I slid inside.
"So where to next?" she asked
"Movies, the one on Action Boulevard (made up street); it's close to Zatanna's house if her dad calls or anything. You up for it?"
"What are we watching?" Dick had pulled out his holographic computer
"Um the last attack. It's a thriller, action film with enough romance not sappy enough to make you gag, that is according to this highly prized review from Films = Us."
"Okay then, let me just call my dad so he knows we have a change of destinations."
The car stopped a block from the movie theater. "We wouldn't want to draw attention to you guys right?"
I noticed Dick had taken out a pair of black glasses out of a case and put them on.
"Why the glasses"
"Someone might recognize you for who I am and paparazzi will magically appear and start taking photos and asking questions. Then when the story gets published it'll be filled with all sorts of half-truths and lies. Well not all of them but who will know what's the truth or not?"
"Oh okay then, so how are we going to do this? I mean the glasses at night kind of bring weird looks and if what you told me is true you don't want people looking twice at you."
"I'll think of something..." he then got a thoughtful expression on his face.
"C'mon ignore that for now, enjoy the walk and the stars and the peacefulness of the night "
"JONNY! BRING BACK MY DISC PLAYER NOW!"
"No I won't! NA NA NA NA NA NA!
"MOM! JONNY HAS MY DISC PLAYER!"
"WELL SIS BURST MY FOOTBALL AND SAID I'D PAY FOR CUTTING THE TELEPHONE WIRES WHEN SHE WAS TALKING TO DEAR MICHEAL (LAST TWO WORDS SAID IN A SINGSONG, ANNOYING LITTLE BROTHER WAY)
"MOM!" both of them said this at the same time
"HOW DARE YOU BOTH WAKE YOUR BABY SISTER AFTER I SPENT THREE HOURS –THREE!- TRYING TO GET HER ASLEEP SINCE SHE'S TEETHING, HAS A COLD AND AN EAR INFECTION AND I HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR A WHOLE TWO WEEKS!"
"Okay maybe not the peacefulness of the night" I said
They had reached the Complex Empire Movie Theatre at last. Dick and I walked up to the receptionist's desk inside the lobby. We purchased the tickets.
"C'mon, let's hurry. The guy at the desk said we should be able to meet the 8:00 start and it's 7:55."
"Wait up" I said chasing after him. The way he ran excitedly toward the food stands made me feel like he didn't do normal things like this often, if at all. He brought us a two medium drinks and a large popcorn. According to him why waste money on two medium popcorns when you could have a large one with enough popcorn to fill both of us.
We scrambled into the theater as soon as the previews ended. The movie was good. The plot wasn't too sudden or predictable and it didn't have to much blood and guts. During the movie for some reason every time Dick's hand brushed hers as they reached for popcorn, her heart beat a little faster. In the middle of the movie Dick received a text (it was on silent and vibrate) Black Canary was going to be late.
NO ONE'S POV
When the movie finished the theatre remained in darkness despite the movie's conclusion. Zatanna was having fun. Dick was funny, sweet and smart. This whole date made her understand Robin a little better.
"My popcorn!" Dick said laughing
"Hey! It's a large it's big enough for both of us!"
"Dick!" At this time the theatre was empty. He held it away from her, bending backwards over the chair arms.
"No!" he was laughing
"Dick!" This continued like this for a while. Then like clockwork, they both seemed to notice how close to each other they were. Nervous breathing filled the spade between them
BLACK CANARY POV
Dinah watched at the back of the theater as the two teenagers stared at each other. Looking behind her she asked Alfred "don't you think they look so cute together"
"My lady I think it is best if Master Zatara does not hear of this" he said as Zatanna and Dick leaned even closer
"Wait! What's he doing here" she whispered. NO! He's going to ruin the moment.
BRUCE POV
Wayne was pissed that Dick hadn't come home yet, it was already 9:55. At least until he saw Dick and Zatanna's position. If anything the "fake" date was going VERY well.
"Hey were did that old man go" he heard Dinah whispered furiously "ah no offense Alfred"
"You are only as old as you feel Miss Dinah"
"HE'S RIGHT YOU KNOW" Bruce whispered in her ears. Dinah squeaked in surprise and her body tensed as she prepared to shift her wait to kick him but he covered her mouth and immobilized her body by holding her arms still.
"You wouldn't want to ruin the moment would you?" Dinah relaxed as she recognized the voice. The three adults watched as the two teenagers kept staring at each other. The tension was so thick you could almost cut through smoothly like a piece of cake. Just when their lips were about to meet a shrill sound rang through the theater. Both of the children jump away as if they were doing something illegal.
"Sorry that's mine." Zatanna said as she pulled out a communicator. She looked at the screen and then back at Robin guiltily "it's my dad, um I gotta go home."
BLACK CANARY POV
"Hey guys. So, so sorry to be late, I had business to attend. Are you guys alright?" To others on the outside Dinah had a worried expression on her face. On the inside she was noticing how red their faces were and how they seemed to be glancing at each other.
"Are you sure you're all right? You're red."
"It's nothing"
"No big" this was said at the same time.
"Okay, let's go"
ZATANNA POV (BC ENTRANCE)
"Are you sure you're all right? You're red."
"It's nothing"
"No big" this was said at the same time.
"Okay, let's go"
Zatanna was glad Black Canary hadn't asked much questions. It was to embarrassing to think about what she and Dick had been about to do. Her cheeks turned hot at the thought. She thought she heard Dick smile.
'Stop it Ze- Zatanna, it was just a moment, it was nothing' she thought as Black Canary led them out the theater into the car. The ride was short but it felt like an eternity to Zatanna who just wanted to get out of the car, as far away from Dick as possible so she could think about what happened. The car stopped in front of her house.
"Well bye!" she said hurrying out the car.
"Wait Dick aren't you forgetting something?" Zatanna stopped, halfway out the car
"What's that?" he said looking a little absent minded "oh, ah bye Zee"
"Yeah, um bye" the car door closed and the car stayed there until her dad opened the door and let her in
ROBIN'S POV (BC ENTRANCE)
"Are you sure you're all right? You're red."
"It's nothing"
"No big" this was said at the same time.
"Okay, let's go"
Dick barely registered the direction. His feet did though and they followed loyally. He was to busy thinking about what would have happened if Zee's father hadn't interrupted. He sighed; this was to much to think about. As Dinah led them out of the theater, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the car. The tension and energy released in that theater scared him. Not because it was a new feeling but because of who it was.
"Well bye!" Zee said
"Wait Dick aren't you forgetting something?"
"What's that?" he said jolting out of his thoughts. He hadn't even realized they were at her house. They stared at each other for a quick minute "oh, ah bye Zee. The car stayed there stalling to make sure her dad was home and to make sure no one had attacked the house or anything.
"So Dick how was your date? Did anything interesting happen"
"What do you mean by anything interesting?"
"Well it was a fake date right? Was it successful? Were there any unpredicted events?"
"Yes" Dick said absently
"Something happened? What is it?"
"Oh! Oh nothing really. One of the girls at the dance got punch poured down her dress"
"Oh okay then." After this the rest of the car ride was uneventful.
"Thanks. For chaperoning us"
"No problem"
AS Dick got out of the car Alfred stepped out of the front of the car. Dick stared at Alfred surprised he hadn't noticed him. Then again, the black, privacy screen had been raised.
"Come along Master Richard, I expect Master Bruce to be waiting inside"
"Of course Alfred, let us go inside" and with these words they turned to enter the majestic manor.
