A/N: Requested by Kelly1432... Some Dick/Verena time! :) This idea came to me in French class when we were watching a music video. The song's called Co-Pilot and it's by Kristina Maria ft. Corneille. This might need a sequel with them in Paris...

"To France we go~! Allons-y, Dick!" I pointed to nothing in general.
"Shouldn't you be calling me Robin since we're in uniform?" Dick asked from next to me.
Indeed, we were in uniform, but we weren't going on a mission or anything. Actually, we were going on a short trip to Paris, France. It was under Dick's suggestion we went there for our fail attempt at a short vacation last time.
"Nah," I waved off, flying out of the Batcave, doing a loop in the air before turning on stealth mode. "You're my co-pilot and we're the only ones here."
"What's my being the co-pilot have anything to do with using our real names?" Dick questioned, raising an eyebrow at me. I knew because I glanced at him briefly before turning back to the skies.
I shrugged. "Tu es mon co-pilot." [1]
"Nous parlons en français maintenant?" [2]
"Ouais. C'est une bonne practique," [3] I responded.
"I suppose so, but why would we need brushing up on our French skills?" Dick asked with a grin. "Notre français est parfait." [4]
"I was listening to this one song about being a co-pilot and it had some French in it," I responded. "That's why I wanted to talk in French."
"Oh?" Dick inquired. I heard him unbuckle his seat belt before hearing him stand up and groan as he stretched. "You want anything to eat?"
"I'm busy flying the jet," I replied. "And you know how I don't like autopilot." I always preferred manually doing things than leaving it to do automatically.
I didn't hear a response after that and assumed he went to the back of the jet to raid the emergency cabinets and mini-fridge for some food.
I continued flying through the clouds, taking my leisure time. Since I wasn't in a rush, it'd take the usual eight hours it'd take for a regular plane to get to Paris.
I spotted something coming from behind me and looked down just as a part of a piece of an apple came into my line of vision.
Dick held the other end of the toothpick the apple was on and grinned at me. "I'll feed you. Now, say ah," he told me. He opened his mouth to make me mimic the action.
I did as he told and he placed the apple in my mouth. I closed my mouth, and Dick pulled back the toothpick, leaving the apple in my mouth. I chewed the sweet fruit, smiling softly.
I then opened my mouth, and then another piece of apple was placed into my mouth.
I smiled up at Dick while chewing and he softly smiled back at me.
Footnotes:
[1] You're my co-pilot.
[2] We're talking in French now?
[3] Yeah. It's good practice.
[4] Our French is perfect.
A/N: Request/review~! :D
