Ok, on with the story.

Aqualad's POV

I woke up under the sea.

Which I thought was strange, but why should I complain? I hadn't been under the sea in months and I have missed it. The refreshing current moved passed me and I sighed in relaxation.

"Kaldur!" I heard a very familiar voice call out. I turned and saw the beautiful Tula swimming toward me.

I felt the smile spread over my face. "Tula! It has been a long time."

"Way too long!" She told me as she wrapped her arms around me. I gladly hugged her in return. When we pulled apart, she was still smiling. "We should go to our favorite place, Kaldur," she informed me.

I laughed, "I was hoping you'd say that."

Back in MedBay…

"So…just so we're clear…there is absolutely nothing we can do to wake them up?" Flash asked. Again.

"No, Flash. There is nothing we can do." Batman growled.

Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Martian Man Hunter were all sitting around in MedBay just…waiting for the young leaguers to wake up, like Superboy had. Superboy and Canary were still in the training room, but Conner still wouldn't talk about his dream. Right now, all she could get out of him was that he was pissed to have woken up.

"Come ON! There must be a way to…speed it up?" Flash impatiently asked. "Some kind of antidote or something!"

"Flash, to the best of our knowledge-which is basically Superboy waking up-there is nothing we can do and no antidote. We'll just have to wait." Green Arrow replied, slowly.

"What if they don't think the word 'dream'? Will they just sleep forever?" Flash demanded, getting more anxious by the second.

"We aren't even sure that the word 'dream' is what wakes them up…it only worked like that for Conner." Aquaman tried to conceal his own stress as he informed Flash of this.

"…I'm going to go eat something." and Flash was gone. There was a collective sigh of relief from the League.

"…So what are we going to do…"?" Green Arrow asked.

Aqualad's POV

We swam toward the park- our special place. "Kaldur, I have missed you so much! What have you been up to?" Tula asked me as we sat on a pink coral bench.

Conflict raged inside me. I knew I couldn't tell her exactly what I had been doing-that was the whole point of my secret identity. And she couldn't know about the League. She looked at me, expectant, waiting for my response.

I smile at her and said, "I've been assisting King Korin." There. It wasn't even a lie. It just was not the whole truth.

"Ooo. That sounds important." She gave me the sweetest mile I had ever seen. The kind that made me want to wrap my arms around her and hold her for the rest of eternity.

"It is very important. And…occasionally dangerous." I informed her-even I could hear the slight bit of distress in my voice as I looked at her than pulled her into a long-awaited hug.

I smiled, happier than I had been in months. Never, in my wildest dreams did I-

Back in MedBay…

Aqualad sat up, dazed and disoriented. "Tu-?" He started to ask, but quickly stopped as he took in his surroundings. A dream. It was just a happy dream.

"Kaldur'ahm!" Aquaman went to the boy's side. "Are you well?"

"My King," the King's apprentice sat up straighter. "I…" He trailed off, seeing the rest of his team (minus Superboy) sill fast asleep. "What happened to us?" He asked frantically as he struggled to get out of the bed.

"Aqualad, the Joker used a new 'toy' of his on the team and…this happened." The Dark Knight informed the younger hero.

"So far, only you and Connor have woken up." Martian Man Hunter told him.

"Where is Conner now?"

"Here," came a voice from the door. Everyone turned to see Superboy and Canary walk back in, "and glad you're awake now too. How'd you do it?"

The sea apprentice thoughtfully replied, "It was a very…good dream. I didn't want to wake up."

"Did you think the word 'dream', by any chance?" Green Arrow asked.

"Yes. As a matter of fact."

"So! Dream is the word!" Flash said, having returned from his snack. He rushed to Wally's side, "Come on kid! Think dream! D-R-E-A-M!"

"…"

"Ugh. Should've known he wouldn't listen to me," He groaned and sunk into the nearest chair.

"It looks like we will just have to wait for them to think dream on their own." Martian Man Hunter said.

Batman, Flash, and Green Arrow all sighed unhappily at this.

AN: So? What do you people think? I'm going to try to update as soon as I possibly can, and reviews motivate me.

Hint hint

Ok. I think Miss M will be next….
