"It's not funny!" I exclaimed loudly, making some people turn in our direction. I flushed and then turned back to Barbara, who was still laughing. I puffed my cheeks out in annoyance before placing my elbow on the table, resting one of my cheeks on it, looking away from the redhead.

"S-sorry," Barbara stuttered out, even though I knew she wasn't. "So you fell for Dick?"

I rolled my eyes. "I fell on him. Then he just had to make that comment."

"I knew there was a reason I was friends with you guys," Barbara grinned. "You two are so cute!"

"I know I'm cute," I grinned cheekily at her. "Dick though," I pretended to think. "He's eh."

Barbara rolled her eyes. "I know you're not blind, Rena. Richard Grayson is more than just eh."

I shrugged and sipped my iced tea. Well, Dick was getting some more muscle mass lately… and slowly getting taller. Slowly being the key word. I giggled to myself when I thought about that.

Barbara looked at me strangely. "What's so funny?"

"Just thought about how Dick was slowly getting taller lately," I waved off. "Key word being slowly." A smile crept onto her face and she giggled as well.

"Where is Dick, anyway?" Barbara asked curiously. "He's late." She looked at me. "Call him."

"What?" I asked.

"Call him," she repeated. "He brushes me off quickly when I call him."

I pulled out my phone and retorted, "What makes you say he won't do that to me?" I pressed 2 for speed dial and placed the phone to my ear.

"Can we pretend that airplanes/In the night sky are like shooting stars?" I heard a ringtone play.

"I'm here," I heard Dick say into the phone and to us, sliding in the seat next to mine. "Sorry I'm late."

I looked at him and said into the phone, "It's okay. Babs was just getting impatient. She also said that you'd brush her off if she called."

Dick gave me a smile before turning to Barbara, who crossed her arms as she sat across from me. "Oh really? Well, I guess I should start a conversation with her when she calls me next time."

"You two are such dorks!" Barbara threw her arms in the air, a smile on her face. Dick and I laughed and we hung up and slid our phones into our pockets. Then she looked at Dick curiously. "Your ringtone for her is Airplanes?"

"Yeah," Dick chuckled, throwing an arm over my chair. "She's aviophilic."

"Is that a word?" I asked curiously, looking at Barbara. I moved to swipe Dick's hand as he reached for my iced tea, but he was successful in the drink-napping.

"You two are the geniuses," Barbara shrugged.

"Well they have aviophobic," Dick pointed out after taking a sip of my drink. "There's hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Therefore, aviophobic should have aviophilic."

I shrugged and knew better than to question Dick's English. He placed my glass on the table and I frowned, looking at it. Part of the ice on the lower levels melted, causing all the ice cubes to shift.

"It's a good thing you're not Kryptonian or else lasers would've shot out already," Dick joked.

"What's wrong?" Barbara asked.

I frowned and said, "Dick drank all of my iced tea," while the shadow of an airplane flew over us.
