Chapter 4

Students pile out of their classrooms as the bell rings, signaling for the end of school. They all eagerly ran out of school, looking forward to the weekend. The area begins bursting with activity as all the kids tell each other their plans for the weekend.

Walking out of school, Zaina stuffs a few papers into her bag as she tries to ignore Kim beside her, telling her about how hot Jason looked today. It's hard for her to suppress a smirk as she knows Kim has it bad.

"If you like him so much, then why don't you just tell him?" she puts in.

Kim stares at her. "Zen, have you gone out of your mind?" she yells. "He's one of the most popular guys in school, and I'm just…normal."

"I'm normal, but he's still my best friend." Zaina points out. "Look, I know Jason, and he doesn't judge based on your popularity."

"Still, he's just so…" Kim begins.

"So, who're we talking about?" Jason asks, coming up from behind her, making her jump and drop her bag.

She yells at him for making her drop her books and gets down on her hands and feet to gather them up. He also bends down to help her. He gathers up a few books and hands them to her as she reaches out for them. Suddenly, their fingers brush each other's. Jason and Kim lift their eyes to their faces. They stay like that for a couple of minutes and then draw their hands back.

"Um, sorry about making you drop your books," Jason stutters. "So, see you tomorrow."

"Sure, that sounds great." Kim's face is as red as the shirt she's wearing.

Jason gives her a small smile as she turns around, waving bye. She then hurries away, a bit more hurriedly than usual. He turns around to find Zaina looking at him.

"You like her, don't you?" she simply asked.

"What? No!" He protests.

"Dude, please. Your face is as red as the red coat you gave me last Christmas." She cuts in. He heaves a huge sigh.

"Okay, maybe I do like her. Just a tiny bit."

She rolls her eyes and starts to walk. "Well, are you coming?"

"So, are you coming to the party tonight?" Jason asks.

"Sorry, I can't make it. I've got to babysit my cousin." Zaina tells him, holding the phone to her ear as she browses the internet.

"Oh yeah, your uncle and aunt are taking your dad out, aren't they."

"Yep, they say he needs some air. Personally, I agree with them."

"I'll save you some cake." He offers.

"Jason, just go have fun. I won't be available during the weekend. My dad's taking me to Gotham to visit my grandfather for the weekend. I'll catch you on Monday." Zaina tells him, amusement in her voice.

She puts the phone down and begins updating her page. She isn't much of a social network person, but since everyone was doing it, why not her? It was much more fun than it looked. She listens to music as she posts an update and then pulls up a site for her History paper that was due on Monday. After a few minutes though, she gives up as she gets a splitting headache. She turns the computer off and flops down on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

She then hears the door open and sees her father come in. He's changed out of his work suit and donned a casual shirt and jeans. She knows that many women still make eyes at her father. They might prefer him in a suit, but she thinks she enjoys him casual than in a suit and tie, or even in his Nightwing costume. She thinks he looks more calm and collected now.

"You ready, sweetie?" he asks. "Uncle Tim and Aunt Cassie'll be here any minute now." He says.

"Yeah, I'm ready, Dad." She smiles, slipping out of bed.

He nods at her and walks to the living room, telling her he'll be waiting for her. She quickly goes to the bathroom and checks her hair. Luckily, it looks perfect. She changes into another shirt and joins her father in the living room, telling him about the events that happened in school. After about fifteen minutes, the doorbell rang. Her father got up and answered the door, greeting the people outside heartily. She grins. It'll do him good to take some time off to just enjoy life and relax.

He moves over the door as a tiny figure runs in, shouting out her name. Laughing to herself, she stands up and greets the small boy as he throws his arms around her.

"It's great to see you too, Tom." She laughs.

She looks up to see her uncle and aunt make their way inside. Aunt Cassie is the first person to give her a bone-crushing hug, telling her how much she's grown since they last met. Once she's released, Uncle Tim pulls her into a small hug and lays his hand on her shoulder, asking her what's new. Her father brings out a plate of crackers and they all just lounge around, telling each other what's been going on in their lives. All the time, Tom sits right next to her and listens intently when she talks.

Seriously, that kid is just too adorable for words. But what did she expect from a six-year-old?

"The two of you'll be fine, won't you?" her father asks, pulling on a jacket.

"We'll be fine, Dad." She assures her father.

"Okay then, Tom, you be a good boy, okay?" Uncle Tim ruffles his son's black-hair.

"Okay, Dad." Tom says.

Aunt Cassie gives each of them a quick hug before the three adults leave. Zaina stays at the door until she sees the car turn a corner. She then walks inside and closes the door behind her to be met with Tom looking at her with big eyes.

"Tom?" she simply asks, not really knowing what to do.

"I'm bored." He says and she lets out a laugh because, duh.

"So, what do you want to play?" she asks.

"What video games do you have?"

She thinks for a while and then gets an idea.

"How about some Guitar Hero? I'll teach you how play the instrument."

A/N: This chapter might not be as long as the others, but I just wanted to show a bit more of the life sixteen years later. As you can tell, I'm a WonderBird shipper, hence their son.

Hope you've enjoyed the story so far. The real action will start in the next chapter.

Please review.
