Bart was ready long before the others, and was waiting downstairs not-so-patiently
"Jeez these guys are slow..." he mumbled.
"Well sorry about that, hermano!" came Jaime's voice from behind him.
"Agh! I-I um... Didn't see ya there, hermano..." Bart stuttered.
Jaime just laughed. "It's ok! Everyone must seem slow in comparison to you."
"Y-yeah!" Bart sighed, relieved that he hadn't offended Jaime.
"So, are we the first two ready?" Jaime asked, taking a seat on the edge of the table.
"Yup!" nodded Bart. "I'm surprised Wally isn't ready, he's almost as fast as me... How are we even able to be attending school in Japan? I thought that people like Artemis and Wally were attending college back in America."
"They are," Dick said, entering the room. "But Bats pulled a few strings for the mission."
"This is so... Ugh," Gar sighed. I don't mind the vacation, but now we have to go to school, in Japan! Might I add that they'll be speaking Japanese?"
"That's what we were trying to figure out," Dick explained. "M'gann will secretly set up a mind link wherever we go, so that they'll hear Japanese, and we'll hear English."
"I think everyone's just about ready!" Artemis called as she came into the kitchen. "Cassie's just helping Tim with his uniform."
"Like... What part of his uniform?" Gar chuckled.
Bart punched him lightly on the arm. "Dude! That's pretty perverted of you!"
A while later, everyone was in the kitchen, ready to go.
"So, Dick, mind telling us what's gonna go down?" Wally questioned his friend.
"I think I'll give the briefing!" Zatanna grinned.
"Zatanna? Why're you here? Don't you have Justice League-y stuff to do or something?" Gar asked.
"Bruce pulled a few strings," the magician winked. "Since none of you know why we're in Japan, I'll clue you in. There've been multiple disappearances in a school, so we're here to check it out and try our best to stop whatever's going on."
"That just about sums it up." Dick smiled. Zatanna smiled back, then pulled him into a kiss.
"Dudes! Can't you do that somewhere more private?!" Gar yelped, covering his eyes.
"And aren't you two over, done, finito?" Jaime asked.
"Eh, are you saying friends can't kiss?" Zatanna raised an eyebrow after breaking the kiss.
"Sure they can! But um... On the lips is more of a... Couple thing." Jaime replied.
Zatanna shrugged and began to make out with Dick again.
"They are so dating!" Barbara laughed.
Everyone broke out into laughter, then Cassie began to kiss Tim.
"Like I said before, what part of the uniform?" Gar grinned.
"Probably the tie... I always have problems with that part..." Jaime said.
"You know... The way you said that was pretty cute!" Bart teased.
"Wha-" Jaime started. Before he could finish, Bart grabbed the back of his head and planted a firm kiss on his lips.
"Wha-" Jaime started again.
"What, are you saying friends can't kiss?" Bart grinned.
