A/N: Lol. I don't have a first period, but I like to sit in my favorite teacher's classroom and just hang out there. So today, I wrote this on my iPhone while she was teaching her class and funnily enough, they were talking about ice cream. xD Skyla123, I know you requested Dick getting jealous, and I sort of wrote it, but I think Dick's a bit too sure that he's the most important guy in Verena's life. LOL. Oh well. I tried.

Dick pushed open the door of the diner and then held it open for me to exit.

"Why thank you, kind sir," I beamed up at him.

He flashed me an adorable smile and tipped his imaginary hat. "Always a pleasure, m'lady."

I let out a laugh just a we turned to walk down the sidewalk, throwing on our sunglasses. It was a really good British accent imitation he did there.

"You're such a dork," I shook my head in feign disapproval.

Dick let out a low chuckle and then I felt some light weight on my shoulders as he swung an arm over them. He squeezed my shoulder softly and it got quiet as we walked along.

"Ooh!" I then exclaimed, spotting something. "Can we get ice cream?" I pointed over at a nearby Joe's Italian Ice.

"Like I'd ever say no," Dick scoffed. "The usual?"

The usual was to get whatever flavored we spotted first in the store.

"Duh," I responded. Dick continued smiling and entered the ice cream parlor while I found a place to sit outside.

I quickly found a nice little table with two chairs and took a seat. I propped my hand underneath my chin and began to review yesterday's mission.

Artemis had joined the Team, and even though Green Arrow and Batman said she was the archer's niece, Batman's files said otherwise.

I had no doubts that out mentor knew that we know, but I suppose he knew that we weren't going to say anything.

"Hi," a voice brought me out of my thoughts.

I glanced up from wherever I was staring off into and angled my head to see who had approached me. The voice was completely unfamiliar.

A boy around my age, probably starting middle school this year, gave me a toothy grin.

He had slightly messy brown hair that looked like it was purposely unruly and his green eyes sparkled with interest.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing here by yourself?"

I peeked out from above my sunglasses, since I was sitting while he stood with his hands in his pockets.

"She's not," a very familiar voice informed him.

Dick placed the two bowls of ice cream, both mint chocolate chip, on the table, but never took his eyes off the boy.

Now, Dick's not the tallest guy around, but everything else of his made up for it. His personality, his humor, his strength, his looks... Hold up.

The boy was taller than Dick, but I could tell he was younger than my companion, because Dick held himself confidently and surely, and looked less awkward.

Dick narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to me. "Jeez, I can't leave you alone for a second, can I?"

"What can I say?" I shrugged. "People are attracted to my beauty," I joked.

A smirk crept onto Dick's face before it disappeared before he turned back to the kid, taking off his sunglasses.

The kid's eyes widened, immediately recognizing him. Dick sat down across from me and then nudged his head to the side, keeping eye contact with the younger boy. It was the universal signal for "Scram" or "Beat it".

Without another word, the boy scrambled off.

I turned my attention to my partner, who was happily eating his ice cream with a self-satisfied look.

I shook my head, choosing not to comment before pulling the other cup of ice cream to me and digging in.

A/N: Remember to review/request~! :D
