A/N: hey Christmas break started, so expect more chapters! I started this on the 21st of December, and I'm still alive so I figured I'd write some to celebrate! Aha I'm just kidding, who's ready for an annoying Annika? I know I am!

"Kallie! I'm sooooooo bored!" I yell annoyed behind him. He sighs and hunches his back.

"Annika, entertain yourself," he says "Read a book"

"No! I read all the time!" I reply

"Well think of something to do Annika" Kal tells me

"Hmm I could sing some more I gue-"

"NO! How about you clean?" He reasons

"'Lad! That is sexist and demeaning!" I yell at him

He ignores me and slouches back into his chair.

"Hmm what else can I call you 'Lad?" I ask

"Maybe you should try my name?" He asks

"No! That's too boring! How about Aques, that sounds good."

I say

"Aques?" He asks

"Cause you're Aqualad" I remind him

"I do not got by that name anymore" Kal tells me

"And your point is? I still call you 'Lad" I reply

"I know" he says sighing.

"Aqueo taco. I'm still bored! And I don't want to wear this uncomfy uniform if you aren't gonna use my super hero name. Can you park somewhere and call Nighy Nightwing and ask him to bring some of my clothes?" I whine

"Annika, we are not only in the Atlantic Ocean, also I am not in control of the ship." He replies

"Well I can't wear this for the rest of the time." I remind him

"That is a good point Annika, I will ask my father if we can stop at a mall," he answers pressing the paging button "Father the captive is going to need a few changes of clothing, permission to ask if we can-"

"KALDUR! PUT YOUR PANTS ON!" I scream at him

"Stop off somewhere?" He finishes but not without shooting me a death glare

"Very well, bring Tigress along, keep an eye on the captive" his father replies

"KALDUR! STOP TWIRLING! YOUR GOING TO GET DIZZY!" I yell right before Kal takes his finger off the pager.

"Annika," he scolds "Why are you so embarrassing?!"

"Nothing better to do." I reply

"We are stopping at the mall, but not without my second in command" he answers

"Are you and her...together?" I asks grinning

"No, she has a boyfriend" he says blushing

I burst into laughter at the awkwardness in his voice, and he glares at me again.

"Let's go to the mall, 'Lad" I say

The ship pulls up to the pier of Gotham, my home. I walk up the dock, with Kal, and Tigress watching my every move. Tigress told me to call her Ash, which only resulted in me trying to guess her name.

"Is it Alisha?" I ask

"No"

"Annalise?"

"No"

"Bethany?"

"No!"

"Touchy touchy" I reply smirking

We walk into the mall, I see all the Christmas decorations. I smile and run into my favourite store, dragging Kaldur, and Tigress along.

"I want this one! Ooh and this one! Oh and I can't live without this one! We can't forget this one! Oh this this! This one too!" I scream grabbing clothing and throwing it into Kaldur's arms. I then rush him to the fitting room and take the clothes from him, slamming the door shut in his face. I quickly change into a pair of black skinny jeans and a red tank top, then I run out of the fitting room toward Kal.

"I'm Aqualad! I'm Aqualad!" I scream running around Kal, and Tigress, who is trying to hide her obvious laughter. Before Kal can grab my arm, I run right back to the fitting rooms and change into some clothes Tigress lent me. I grab all the clothes that were in the change room and bring them to the cashier.

"He's paying" I say pointing to Kal.

"Alright, tell him that it will be $98.99" she says smiling

I run to Kaldur and tell him the cashier is waiting for money. He hands her about $150

"Keep the change" he says smiling sweetly. I burst into fits of laughter, and he shoots me a glare, but I see him blushing. We leave the store, and I scream.

"What? What is wrong?" Kal asks looking worried.

"Come. With. Me." I demand running toward a load of Christmas decorations. The line it too large to see what we are waiting for, although I already know.

"What is it we are waiting for Annika?" Kal asks

"It's a surprise!" I shout, we wait for about an hour and we are next in line. Finally a VERY tall parent, has moved out of the way, and Kaldur sees what we have been waiting for. His mouth drops when he sees eight artificial reindeer, two angry high schoolers in elf clothing, and a fat man in a red suit.

"Annika, we are leaving NOW!" Kal yells at me

"Not so fast Kallie boy, I have a phone, I could call Nightwing right now, and he'll save me." I say my tone even and superior.

"Annika, we took away your cell phone" he says narrowing his eyes

"Which is why I stole hers" I say pointing to Tigress. She quickly checks her pockets, and her eyes go wide. I only smirk in response.

"Who's next?" A grumpy elf asks

"Ooh! Ooh! We are" I reply in a singsong voice.

"Step right up" the elf says.

"Ok Kaldur," I say in a really loud voice "Tell Santa what you want for Christmas!"

"Kaldur is it? Come sit on my lap son" Santa says

"Go ahead Kallie, the big man won't hurt you," I say my voice still loud but my tone softer.

"Awwwh!" A bunch of middle school girls gush walking by, or standing on the second floor looking down. Kaldur reluctantly walks over to Santa and sits on his lap.

"Ho ho ho! Hello son! What would you like for Christmas?!" Santa asks

Kaldur shoots me a glare, I smile and start walking toward him.

"He is very shy, a picture would be wonderful though." I say smiling sweetly. "Smile Kallie!" I say as the elf is about to take a picture. He continues to glare at me, so I walk up to Kaldur and crouch beside him.

"Smile Kallie" I say softly holding up Tigress' cell phone, with Nightwing's number already punched in. He shoots me one last glare, then he smiles, a very fake, but good enough smile.

"Good boy!" I gush and move so the elf can take the photo. I walk down to the elf and she hands me the photo.

"Thank you!" I say handing her a twenty I took from Kaldur, this morning. She smiles and thanks me for the tip.

"ANNIKA, WE ARE LEAVING! NOW!" He says very angry.

"Ok, let's go Kallie" I say skipping out of the mall, with my bags of clothes.

A/N: Merry Christmas everyone! And remember The Review button never gets annoyed! (:
