Wally: so basically ur just taking all the gays and trapping us in one place

Wally: risky, dude. risky

Wally: also can I just say I cannot wait for the moment you slip up with your “responsible club captain” act and accidentally reveal to everyone here how inaccurate that is because Disaster Kal is,,,, come se dice,,,, a treat

Artemis: At least I’m not named after a robot

Wally: well your hair is dumb so fuck you

Artemis: Ouch

Artemis: Hold on while I cry

Dick: To answer your question Artemis, no we’re not dating

Dick: We’ve been best friends since like middle school

Wally: and if dick and I dated I’m pretty sure we would win couple of the millennium and I just can’t bear to do that to bradgelina

Dick: Except for that one time we kissed during spin the bottle in seventh grade and you tasted like old fish

Dick: #NeverAgain

Wally: bitch

Wally: I’m an excellent kisser

Wally: ask roy, he kissed me once too and gave it a 7/10 so HA

Dick: Okay but Roy also has a pair of lime green crocs so are we really going to trust his judgement on anything?

Wally: that’s it someone needs to kiss me right now and prove this fool wrong

Wally: pucker up fellas

Artemis: Wally can you please not be a hoe for five seconds of your life

Zatanna: so…..

Artemis: So……..

Artemis: What?

Zatanna: what did u think of gay club???

Artemis: Oh

Artemis: It was fine I guess

Zatanna: that’s it?

Artemis: What do you want me to say?

Zatanna: i dunno, that ur whole life has officially changed for the better? that you’ve decided to abandon the dark and twisty lifestyle and meet some new people?

Artemis: That sounds terrible

Zatanna: do u think you’ll keep going?

Artemis: I mean  

Artemis: Maybe?

Artemis: You know I’m not a people person

Zatanna: we’re doing this i guess then huh

Artemis: What?

Zatanna: Artemis.

Zatanna: i’m saying this with the utmost love and respect okay

Zatanna: but u are about as social as a moldy turnip.

Artemis: That’s a creative image

Zatanna: u wouldn’t have agreed to go to the first meeting with me if u didn’t secretly want to get out of ur comfort zone at least a little bit, right?

Artemis: So?

Zatanna: so i don’t want you to pass up something that might be good for you

Artemis: You sound like my mom stop it

Zatanna: am i wrong tho?

Artemis: No but you’re also like twelve so who’s to say

Zatanna: take that back u overgrown pine tree

Zatanna: but seriously, you really like gsa?

Artemis: It’s not bad

Artemis: It was kind of fun being with people like me, as cliche as that sounds

Artemis: That Wally guy though? He’s a major asshole

Zatanna: yeah i could see that disaster coming from a mile away

Zatanna: i know he seems kind of iffy at first, but trust me he’s great once u get to know him

Artemis: I’ll take your word for it

Artemis: Btw are we still meeting up for McDonald’s because I’m in the parking lot now

Zatanna: yeah, omw

Saturday, September 9

Rye Bread: You are both officially shunned until further notice.

Wonder Bread: Welp

Bagél: I would just like to say that I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life

Wonder Bread: I know this…and I love you

Bagél: I love you too :)

Bagél: MONEY PLEEEASE

Wonder Bread: Okay but really what did we do

Wonder Bread: Because odds are it was Wally’s fault

Bagél: how dare you pin this on me

Bagél: everyone knows that of the three of us you’re the one most likely to become a criminal mastermind and enslave humanity

Wonder Bread: I mean

Wonder Bread: Yeah

Rye Bread: What’s this I hear? The wind?

Wonder Bread: Roy

Rye Bread: Perhaps a ghost whispering in my ear?

Wonder Bread: ROY

Rye Bread: Funny, it sounds almost like what my old friend D*ck’s voice used to sound like before he was shunned for all eternity.

Wonder Bread: Did you just censor my name you bitch

Bagél: is this about when I stole your mamma mia dvd last week because I swear I’m gonna return it

Rye Bread: THAT WAS YOU??

Bagél: uh

Bagél: no

Wonder Bread: Smooth

Bagél: spoken like the true evildoer who got me shunned by my very own bro

Wonder Bread: IT WASN’T ME

Bagél: IT WAS YOU

Bagél: Roy please esplain to this fool that this is all his fault

Wonder Boy: ……esplain

Bagél: QUIET, CRIMINAL

Rye Bread: It was both of you actually, so you’re at fault too here Wally.

Wonder Bread: And the plot chickens

Rye Bread: Hello?? Movie theater ring any bells??

Bagél: ………whoops

Wonder Bread: Can I just say, from the bottom of my heart,

Wonder Bread: My bad

Rye Bread: Damn straight.

Rye Bread: I waited two hours for you jerks to show up.

Rye Bread: It started RAINING.

Rye Bread: I got a COLD probably.

Bagél: oof

Bagél: okay I’ll admit it, we dropped the ball on that one

Bagél: but in my defense, dick never reminded me to text you and tell you we were staying after

Wonder Bread: Actually, I told YOU to remind ME to text Roy, and you said you would when you finished your burrito but then you bought another burrito and forgot

Bagél: fine, mistakes were made okay

Rye Bread: What were you even staying after for?? You two never stay after school on fridays.

Wonder Bread: Gsa

Rye Bread: Oh.

Rye Bread: I thought you said you weren’t going to do it?

Wonder Bread: Yeah, but Kaldur’s club captain and we wanted to support him

Bagél: plus there were cookies shaped like danny devito and I had to get in on that action

Bagél: you should join! it’s pretty cool actually

Rye Bread: Pass.

Wonder Bread: *cough* homophobe *cough*

Rye Bread: Buddy you are talking to one whole bisexual.

Rye Bread: It’s just not my style. You know I’m not much of a club guy.

Rye Bread: Have fun, though.

Rye Bread: Also because you both abandoned me and left me for dead, you’re paying for my movie ticket so let’s go.

Bagél: fineeeeee

Chapter 2: (Over)whelmed

Notes:

Two chapters in two days? In THIS fic?? It's more likely than you think.

I was halfway finished posting this chapter when my sister tried to steal my laptop because she got a glimpse of the AO3 symbol before I could hide it and accused me of reading porn and wouldn't leave me alone because she's a bitch so I had to quickly close the window and fend her off so..........moral of the story is I had to redo the formatting and corrections ALL OVER AGAIN and now I'm bitter.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Artemis: My dad’s being an asshole and I need to hang somewhere else for a while

Bitch In Law: Gotcha.

Bitch In Law: The door’s unlocked so you can just let yourself in.

Artemis: Thanks

Artemis: Do you have any ramen?

Bitch In Law: No, you ate it all the last time you broke into my house.

Artemis: Hey, it’s not my fault you keep forgetting to go shopping. I’m pretty sure if you didn’t have me dropping by and forcing you to buy more food all the time, you’d be left eating sardines and week-old hot dogs every day

Bitch In Law: Yeah but I’d also not have a raging migraine 70% of the time, so is it really worth it?

Artemis: I’m on my way and stopping at the store for ramen

Bitch In Law: Please pick up forks while you’re at it.

Bitch In Law: And bowls.

Bitch In Law: And toilet paper.

Artemis: You’re a mess

Bitch In Law: Please and thank you. :)

Wally: yeah I’ll take literally anyone else

Artemis: Fuck you?? It’s not my fault you have no friends

Wally: excuse you I have plenty of friends

Wally: and judging by the fact that you’re refusing to play, maybe you just don’t know how bc YOU’RE the one with no friends so checkmate

Artemis: I can play games, just not with annoying jerks

Wally: you’re just scared because you know I’ll win

Artemis: No, YOU’RE just scared because you know I’LL win

Wally: it takes a lot of work to argue with you

Artemis: Is that an insult or a compliment

Wally: honestly idk

Wally: we…could play twenty questions?

Artemis: How do you even win a game like that

Wally: first person to avoid answering a question loses?

Wally: and I guess winner can pick their prize or something

Wally: just answer the question or take the loss

Artemis: Like hell I will

Artemis: I like green

Wally: oh

Wally: okay your turn

Artemis: What’s YOUR favorite color

Wally: I’m pretty sure that’s cheating?

Artemis: Didn’t realize you were the 20 questions police

Artemis: You could always not answer and I’ll leave with my win

Wally: JEEZ okay okay

Wally: yellow

Wally: but like. bright yellow

Wally: not those gross mustardy yellows

Wally: Are you a dog person or a cat person

Artemis: Dog

Artemis: Definitely dog

Wally: same

Artemis: Would you rather go scuba diving with a shark or lose both legs in a skydiving accident

Wally: shark, obviously

Wally: at least then I have a chance at leaving with all my limbs intact

Artemis: Fair enough

Wally: uhhhhh

Wally: idk what else to ask

Wally: what are you doing right now?

Artemis: That’s the most boring question ever

Wally: just answer the question artemis

Artemis: I’m writing an essay in the library and playing 20 questions with Ed Sheeran

Wally: I know that was supposed to be mean, but ed sheeran rocks so thank you for the unintended compliment

Kaldur: Artemis, I would strongly advise you to ask about how Wally got the scar on his forehead. Trust me on this.

Wally: hey kallie? kalerie? my darling karfunkel?

Wally: you are dead to me

Artemis: Kaldur I love you so much right now

Artemis: Wally? :)

Wally: no

Artemis: “first person to avoid answering a question loses” :)

Wally: how dare you use my own words against me

Artemis: Pray tell, how did you acquire that scar on your forehead? :)

Wally: dammit

Artemis: The audience is waiting :)

Artemis: Unless you would like to surrender and let me claim my prize, of course :):):)

Wally: you people are killing me slowly

Wally: I just tripped, okay?

Wally: that was it

Kaldur: Ask him what he tripped over.

Wally: WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU???

Kaldur: Think twice before stealing my lotion next time.

Wally: I didn’t even use that much!!

Kaldur: Half of the bottle is gone.

Wally: this is what I get for wanting to smell like a strawberry

Artemis: Wally? (◡‿◡✿) 

Artemis: Darling (◡‿◡✿) 

Artemis: Confess your sins to the class, please (◡‿◡✿)

Wally: I just want to say that you are BOTH dead to me until further notice

Megan: Hey Alexa if a teacher makes you cry does that mean you’re legally allowed to drop the class, because this is relevant information at the moment send tweet

Raquel: That’s it which teacher am I going to have to beat up behind the dumpsters after school

Zatanna: one time someone said ur earrings were dumb and u cried for two hours how are u going to fight someone

Raquel: THEY WERE THE PENGUIN ONES THAT WAS A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE

Raquel: Don’t listen to her Megan honey I will avenge you

Kaldur: What happened?

Megan: Mr. Vulko said my science homework was below average

Dick: …Was that it?

Megan: I CAN’T HAVE A TEACHER BE DISAPPOINTED IN ME OKAY HE PROBABLY HATES ME NOW

Megan: I can’t even look at him because I know he’s totally judging me now and thinks I’m too stupid to be taking AP physics

Kaldur: I’m sure he isn’t thinking that.

Megan: BUT HE IS

Megan: Especially because I’m new to the school this year so it's overwhelming enough as it is and now I'm going to fail all of my classes and not graduate and end up a deadbeat and eventually die in a giant crack house explosion at the ripe old age of 24

Dick: That was certainly detailed 

Megan: I think I’m just overwhelmed in general

Raquel: Oof

Megan: And now my teacher thinks I’m just this dumb new kid and that’s all he’s going to think about me for the rest of the year

Zatanna: so he told u your homework wasn’t great and then u just. burst into tears?

Zatanna: that sucks

Megan: Okay, well TECHNICALLY I didn’t cry

Megan: But I wanted to

Megan: Still do

Zatanna: yikes

Zatanna: sorry

Wally: can I get a Big Mood?

Wally: one time a teacher told me I should work on getting my grades up and I was so crushed I made barry let me miss school for a week

Dick: Not helping

Dick: Really though Megs, don’t sweat it

Dick: It’s like the second week of school. No one is expecting you to be a genius immediately

Dick: Especially because you’re new, so everyone understands that you’ll have some trouble adjusting at first 

Dick: You'll catch up eventually. Just give it time 

Megan: That...actually kind of helped? 

Megan: Thanks, Dick 

Dick: No problem 

Megan: Still can’t look Vulko in the eye for at least a week though :/

Megan: Maybe once I have a 100 average and get accepted to Harvard 

Dick: Fair enough

Conner: why are you even awake right now

Dick: Because this is important to me

Dick: Why are YOU awake right now

Conner: because my dog took over my bed and i didnt have the heart to make him move so im on the floor

Dick: Understandable. Carry on

Dick: But back to more pressing matters:

Dick: Whelmed.

Dick: A healthy middle between overwhelmed and underwhelmed

Conner: i dont think thats a thing

Dick: Says you

Conner: says the english language

Dick: The english language is a weak little bitch and could be toppled by a five-man mutiny

Conner: i was going to disagree but yknow what youre right fuck the system lets start a revolution

Dick: :D

Chapter 3: Distractions

Notes:

I've been listening to "Michael In The Bathroom" and "Upgrade" from the BMC soundtrack on repeat all day, and I swear to god at one point while writing this chapter I zoned out so hard I accidentally wrote like five lines of lyrics instead of what I was actually supposed to be writing before I realized what had happened.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Artemis: Can we all just talk about Mr. Smith for a second?

Dick: Whomst?

Artemis: Bald, tall, runs GSA?

Dick: Oh, gotcha

Dick: I’ve always just called him Tornado because of that one time he flipped out on a kid for pulling the fire alarm during a midterm

Dick: His face stayed red for like two hours afterwards

Dick: It was awesome

Artemis: My question is why is he there? In GSA, I mean

Artemis: He’s super nice don’t get me wrong, he just doesn’t like. Do anything

Kaldur: It’s school policy that every club needs a teacher to be present for every meeting.

Wally: more like a den mother amiright

Artemis: I feel bad for him. Every time we do something stupid he looks like he wants to die

Zatanna: when we built the tower out of shoes earlier i swear to god i saw him pull a bottle of vodka out of his briefcase and pour it into his coffee

Dick: One time I hacked into his computer and the only thing he had on there was dozens of files of The Office fanfiction he wrote

Conner: when the lockdown drill alarm went off during class the other day he just looked at the ceiling and said “finally”

Megan: Wouldn’t it be easier to wash it off or cover it with makeup?

Blondie: You actually want to continue that?

Wally: hey, I am a dedicated person

Wally: also I lowkey need a distraction rn, and what better way to distract myself than by invading the privacy of my good friend artemis?

Blondie: Fine

Wally: wait, really?

Blondie: Yeah

Wally: wow, that easy?

Wally: I thought it would take way longer to convince you

Blondie: Well it’s not like I have anything better to do

Wally: you’re not even going to ask what my deal is?

Blondie: nope

Blondie: Unless you want me to?

Wally: nope, this works for me

Blondie: Good

Blondie: We got up to three last time, right?

Wally: technically you asked four, but I’m willing to overlook that if you let me ask two in a row to even it out

Blondie: Fair enough

Wally: coffee or tea?

Blondie: Tea

Wally: team cap or team iron man?

Blondie: Team Cap all the way

Blondie: Chocolate or vanilla

Wally: chocolate

Wally: if you had a genie grant you one wish what would it be

Blondie: Easy, I’d wish for a million dollars

Wally: wrong answer, but okay

Blondie: ??? How is that the wrong answer

Wally: you’re supposed to ask for more wishes, obviously

Blondie: That’s against genie rules

Wally: no it’s not

Blondie: Excuse you, I think I’ve watched aladdin enough times to know what I’m talking about

Wally: fine, then wish for another genie

Blondie: That’s stupid

Blondie: You’ll still only end up getting one wish from the next one

Wally: wish for ten genies

Blondie: Now that’s more like it

Blondie: Ask one of them for a million dollars and then a dog from each of the other nine so you have nine dogs and enough money to treat them like royalty

Wally: that’s the best financial plan I’ve ever heard in my life

Blondie: Is this a good distraction so far?

Wally: surprisingly, yeah

Wally: thanks

Blondie: Np

Blondie: Want to keep going?

Blondie: Yeah

Wally: huh

Blondie: What?

Wally: I knew he got dumped, but I just never thought she would turn out to have been your sister this whole time

Wally: roy told me she ran away?

Blondie: Yeah

Blondie: About a year back she left and I haven’t seen her since, so I guess she’s liking wherever she ended up

Wally: sorry

Blondie: Don’t worry about it

Blondie: Was that all you wanted to know?

Wally: roy also said you’re like a sister to him

Wally: just wondering how you guys are so close even after he and your sister aren’t together anymore

Blondie: Somebody is curious today

Wally: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blondie: I’ll answer that question if you answer one of mine first

Wally: law of equivalent exchange? fair enough

Wally: ask away

Blondie: True or false: You are in fact named after a loveable Christmas character who may or may not have a red nose and wasn’t allowed to play reindeer games

Wally: I am literally going to kill dick

Blondie: That doesn’t sound like an answer to me

Wally: FINE

Wally: it is…….possible…….

Wally: that that may be my middle name

Blondie: Just checking

Blondie: I’m definitely going to be using that information when Christmas comes around, by the way

Blondie: And to answer your question, I used to hang over at Roy’s house with Jade whenever I needed to be away from home for a while

Blondie: Roy and I got pretty close, and after Jade left we kind of just stuck with it since he was already like a brother to me and all

Blondie: Satisfied?

Wally: yup

Blondie: Why didn’t you just ask Roy all this? I’m sure he would have told you the same thing

Wally: I did

Wally: all he said was that you were a burglar who keeps breaking into his house and playing his xbox in the middle of the night

Simetra: You can’t prove anything

Rennoc: i have the text right here

Simetra: That won’t hold up in court

Leuqar: Is it a glitch or something?

Rudlak: I’m trying to fix mine but it won’t let me change it back.

Nagem: Who did this?

Yllaw: are

Yllaw: are you guys serious?

Yllaw: come on, who do you THINK did it?

Simetra: Dick, you’ve been awfully quiet over there

Dick: Hiya folks

Dick: Hmm, that’s quite an unfortunate pickle you have on your hands

Leuqar: How did you do this??

Leuqar: It won’t change back

Annataz: i like it

Yllaw: I hope whoever taught you how to hack stuff falls off a tilt a whirl and breaks their thumbs

Yllaw: you have too much power

Dick: Bold of you to assume I wasn’t just born with the ability to hack

Nagem: So you admit you did this

Dick: Hm? Huh? What’s that? Hum? Pardon me?

Rudlak: Dick.

Rudlak: Change our names back now.

Dick: What’s the magic word?

Yllaw: just fix it you little shit

Dick: Those words have no magical properties, you’re not even trying

Rudlak: Please.

Dick: :)

Artemis: Thank fuck

Conner: how did you do that?

Dick: A magician never reveals their secrets

Zatanna: first rule of fight club

Raquel: I can’t even get my toaster to work, but sure

Raquel: Be a 15 year old hacker

Dick: 14, actually

Dick: I skipped a grade

Crouton: Like is there a remote control? A travel guide? A code phrase that will make him suddenly able to focus?

Wonder Bread: I’m guessing you’re having a rough time with your project?

Crouton: It’s been two days and we haven’t gotten a single thing done!

Crouton: I’m sitting in the school library as we speak, trying to write the damn intro

Rye Bread: Where is Wally?

Crouton: He wandered off towards the manga section about half an hour ago

Wonder Bread: Oof

Crouton: I am literally going to have an aneurysm

Rye Bread: Listen when it comes to work, Wally is like a puppy. Just tell him you’ll buy him food after and he’ll get right back on track.

Rye Bread: It’s that easy.

Zatanna: u all have muggle brains and a mushroom could decompose u

Megan: Flannel pansexual over here

Wally: because I don’t think there’s an option for “old pink floyd t-shirt and crocs”

Artemis: Please

Artemis: Have you seen him in public? Hoodie bi 100%

Kaldur: Really? I would have thought he would go with the leather jacket option.

Kaldur: Also, I didn’t know Roy was bi?

Wally: as a freddy mercury concert

Kaldur: Huh.

Wally: I’m with artemis on the hoodie thing btw

Dick: Hang on I’ll add him and ask

Zatanna: y’all are really turning this chat into a free for all huh

Dick has added Roy Harper to the conversation.

Roy: What do you people want from me now?

Roy: I was busy watching wrestling.

Wally: cool beans

Artemis: Please never say that again

Wally: :(

Wally: significantly less cool beans

Wally: sweaty beans  

Artemis: Oh my god

Wally: you know, I recently read that babies need emotional support to grow up happy and healthy, so really you’re murdering me slowly with your attitude and I think that’s a shame

Artemis: Sorry to break it to you, but you’re not a baby

Artemis: Though you do act like one, so I guess you’re partly right

Wally: how dare you?

Artemis: You’re the one who said it first?  

Wally: well you can’t spell esophagus so fuck you

Artemis: At least I’m not a nerd

Wally: at least I’m not mean

Artemis: At least my middle name isn’t Rudolph

Wally: at least I can spell

Artemis: I CAN SPELL, YOU MORON

Wally: YOU’RE THE MORON

Artemis: CLEARLY NOT, BECAUSE THAT ROLE HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN

Wally: MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN BE A MORON, MORON

Conner: that night at the carnival…that was a date, right?

Megan: I think it was

Conner: he mentioned you had a bunch of siblings besides garfield?

Megan: Oh, yeah they all live with my parents

Conner: oh

Conner: your parents dont live with you?

Megan: It’s kind of complicated

Megan: When I came out to them as trans last year, they didn’t take it very well. They said I had to either get this “girl stuff” out of my head or get out  

Megan: My uncle John was the only one in my whole family who accepted me, so when my parents kicked me out, he let me live with him in Happy Harbor

Conner: im sorry

Conner: your parents sound like major assholes

Megan: They were just taken by surprise, I think

Megan: But yes, they were

Conner: is it bad im kind of glad you dont have to live with them anymore?

Megan: I still talk to a few of my brothers and sisters sometimes, even if they think I’m weird for being the way I am

Conner: i would never think youre weird for being yourself

Megan: Really?

Conner: of course not

Conner: youre a girl, and anyone who disagrees doesnt deserve to know you  

Conner: i think youre great just the way you are

Conner: …you still there? you havent said anything in a while

Megan: Yeah, sorry it’s just

Megan: Have I ever told you that I like you a whole lot?

Kaldur: I am free. What do you need?

Roy: This is gonna sound weird.

Roy: But I kind of need help with something.

Dick: Did you get your head stuck in a lawn chair again?

Roy: That was ONE TIME.

Roy: And no.

Raquel: That must have been a tight fit. Were you a kid back then?

Dick: That was last summer

Raquel: Y i k e s

Roy: Honestly, you get your head stuck in one chair and suddenly you’re the guy who gets stuck in places.

Kaldur: What’s wrong, then?

Roy: Well.

Roy: Uh.

Roy: I kind of got my arm stuck in the dishwasher?

Raquel: Jslkdlkk

Dick: Nope, definitely not the guy who gets stuck in places at all

Roy: SHUT IT YOU DICK.

Dick: Ouch

Raquel: How does one even get stuck in a dishwasher???

Roy: There was a fork lodged in the back and I tried to get it.

Raquel: And how did that turn out for you?

Roy: Not well, my friend. Not well at all.

Dick: I can’t help you, but can I come just so I can take pics

Roy: No.

Dick: Please I’m begging you

Conner: i once got stuck in a swing set

Raquel: How’d you get out?

Conner: chainsaws

Dick: That’s super cool

Conner: it wasnt really at the time, but yeah in hindsight it was awesome

Dick: Maybe you should use a chainsaw to cut Roy out of his dishwasher

Raquel: That would be too risky

Raquel: You don’t want to cut his arm off

Raquel: A small handsaw might work, though

Dick: Or maybe just take the whole thing apart

Conner: one time i took apart my alarm clock and electrocuted myself

Dick: That’s so fun

Raquel: I love your random anecdotes, Kon

Raquel: You should write a book

Dick: Did you die?

Conner: no but i blacked out and saw god

Raquel: What did she look like?

Conner: laverne cox

Raquel: Amazing

Dick: Maybe we should electrocute Roy

Raquel: What would that solve?

Dick: Nothing, but it would be so cool

Roy: Guys my arm hurts over here.

Kaldur: I can come help you.

Roy: Thanks, buddy.

Mxgxn: It’s killing my soul

Mxgxn: Any minute now my heart will give out and I’ll start coughing up blood

Zxtxnnx: goddammit guys i knew megs would be the first one to break

Zxtxnnx: she’s too pure for spy work

Dxck: Come on Megan, you just need to hold out for a little longer

Mxgxn: You should see how sad he is

Mxgxn: He’s in spanish with me and he looks like someone just killed his dog

Mxgxn: Marvin White made a dick joke ten minutes ago and Wally didn’t even smile

Rxqxxl: Yikes  

Mxgxn: Please just let me tell him?

Mxgxn: I won’t even say it’s a party, I’ll just hint that there’s a surprise for him later

Dxck: N O

Dxck: Megan, my darling, my angel,

Dxck: I love you with all my heart, but if you breathe a single word of our plans to Wally I will not hesitate to cut you down where you stand

Rxy: I feel bad too. We’ve never forgotten his birthday before.

Cxnnxr: kaldur youve been suspiciously quiet

Cxnnxr: i thought out of all of us you would be the one to give in to your morality first

Kxldxr: I do feel bad, don’t get me wrong.

Kxldxr: I am just distracted by the group chat name.

Cxnnxr: whats wrong with the chat name?

Zxtxnnx: it kinda sounds like a furry thing, but i wasn’t going to say anything until someone else did

Kxldxr: If this is a recycled furry chat I am deleting everything.

Dxck: Come on, alpha squad sounds cool and you know it

Dxck: Like we’re secret agents

Rxqxxl: We’re planning a surprise party, not a jewel heist

Dxck: That you know of

Dxck: First the party, then the world

Mxgxn: Should I bring the cakes over right after school, or should I wait for when we go to set up later?

Dxck: Barry said he’ll be home all day so either works I think

Dxck: We need someone to keep Wally away from his house until 4:00 though so who wants to do it

Zxtxnnx: i volunteer as tribute

Mxgxn: But I need you to help me frost the cookies!!

Zxtxnnx: oh yeah ur right

Kxldxr: Artemis?

Xrtxmxs: Why are you looking at me??

Rxqxxl: Because your only job is to supply party hats and you already did that

Xrtxmxs: (They’re Doc McStuffins ones because I have imagination)  

Zxtxnnx: (an excellent choice)

Xrtxmxs: But what am I supposed to do with Wally?

Cxnnxr: take him out for a burger or something

Xnnxr: we only need an hour or two to set up and then you can bring him straight to his house

Xrtxmxs: Fiiiine

Xrtxmxs: But someone had better make sure to take pics of his face when you all jump out and scream surprise

Dxck: Please, what do you take me for?

Dick: Come onnnnnnnnn

Dick: Please?

Roy: No.

Dick: Pretty please?

Roy: Pretty no.

Dick: Pretty please with gummy worms on top?

Roy: No.

Dick: That’s not fair, you KNOW you want to go. You’re just too stubborn to admit it

Roy: I don’t even know anyone there.

Dick: You know me, Wally, and Artemis

Dick: And Kaldur helped free you from your murderous dishwasher that one time so that counts as friendship

Dick: Come on, you’ve got nothing to lose

Dick: And you’re already part of the group chat so that basically means you’re in for life

Roy: I would be happy to leave the chat if that helps.

Dick: Don’t you dare

Dick: Come on, what do you say? You have no reason not to come

Roy: If I say yes, will you leave me alone?

Kaldur: Do you ever just…appreciate water? I was hot after gym class and I drank a whole ton of water and it was. So great? So refreshing. So euphoric. What would we even BE as a society without water? Everyone would dry out and shatter apart like crunchy leaves, and instead of swimming in pools people would take off their skin in the summer because there is nothing to hydrate them. I don’t know about all of you, but I owe water my whole life and I hope that if I achieve one thing in my short lifetime, it is making the rest of the world love and respect our lord and savior H2O as much as I do because water is fuckinng great.

Contact added: Roy Harper

Kaldur: Hey, it’s Roy? I’m pretty sure we accidentally switched phones after Wally’s party.

Kaldur: Unless of course I just stole yours and mine is floating in a river somewhere, which would suck.

Roy: Hi, yes it’s me.

Roy: Sorry about that.

Roy: I would have contacted you as soon as I realized, but it was locked.

Kaldur: Well thank god one of us is irresponsible and doesn’t lock his phone.

Kaldur: Nice ocean background, by the way.

Roy: Thanks.

Kaldur: If you give me your address I can swing by your house and we can swap back.

Kaldur: Also, I added my contact in your phone because…I don’t really know why? So congrats, you have my contact info now!

Roy: I don’t mind.

Roy: And I am actually at a swim meet right now, but it lasts until noon so if you want you can just come here to the school and drop it off since that might be easier than waiting another five and a half hours for your phone back.

Kaldur: The swim team meets at 6 in the morning? Dedicated mermaids.

Roy: 5:30 actually, but yes.

Kaldur: Damn. And I thought the archery team was intense.

Roy: By the way, we didn’t get the chance to talk much yesterday, but I wanted to say I’m glad you decided to join GSA.

Kaldur: Blame the little shit who shall not be named but is in fact named Dick, but yeah. I’m glad I came too. Besides, I could use the extra extracurricular when I apply to colleges, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Roy: Not because we’re a delightful group of people to spend time with? I’m hurt, Roy.

Kaldur: Alright fine, you guys were cool too I guess.

Roy: So you think you will keep going?

Kaldur: Yeah, I think I will.

Kaldur: Also I’m on my way to the school now with your phone whom I’ve named Terrence in the short time we’ve spent together.

Roy: I’m glad.

Roy: About the GSA thing, I mean. The phone thing is cool too, though, LOL. 

Notes:

In case you were wondering, Dick climbed up the rafters and was chilling there among the cobwebs because he's a monkey in a 14 year-old boy's body.

Also wow, Kaldur texts like my mom lmao.

Chapter 7: Look At All Those Turkeys

Notes:

Welp, my consistent posting schedule was fun while it lasted I guess. Updates are going to be a bit sporadic from this point on, but you'll definitely have at least one or two a week so don't fret fellas.

Also I know in YJ canon Wally’s parents were shiny happy people and stuff, but in the comics they were very Not That Way, so that’s how it is in this fic because it’s always been my personal headcanon and plus I photosynthesize angst so strap in, cowboys.

Oh and also, thanks so much for all the comments? Like they seriously make me so happy to read, and I've never had a fic get this much feedback before so just know that if you commented, I love you and hope you get a small horse for your birthday. <3

Zatanna: and nobody like, stepped on u or anything?

Rocky: Nah, they kinda just walked around me

Roy: You can be as queer as you want in your own home, but just don't do it in front of my kids please I don't want them to turn gay. 

Megan: It’s Adam and Eve, Kaldur. Not Adam and Steve

Kaldur: I’ll take that as a yes.

Kaldur: I have just been informed that Mr. Smith will be out for several months, so he will not be overseeing GSA for the time being.

Wally: a moment of silence everyone for our fallen comrade…

Zatanna: he was so young.......so vibrant.........i’ll never forget u funky tornado man...........

Megan: He lives on in all our hearts :’(

Dick: Sometimes I can still hear his voice, telling me to stop rapping Hamilton over the loudspeakers or he’ll throw me out the window…….it’s like he’s still here with us

Kaldur: He literally just has jury duty and will be back in February, calm yourselves.

Artemis: Poor Kaldur is in denial, it seems. Don’t worry Kal, he’s in a better place now  

Roy: Who’s going to be running GSA while he’s out?

Kaldur: For the time being, we will have a rotating queue of teachers who have volunteered to step in while he is gone.

Conner: neat, its like den mother musical chairs

Kaldur: Pretty much.

Dick: So who’s on first?

Wally: who

Dick: Who?

Conner: …do you want me to change it back?

Megan: No, not at all! Lol it’s not that don’t worry

Megan: I was just wondering if that was really what we are now

Megan: In a relationship

Conner: i think so?

Conner: i dont have a lot of experience with this to be honest

Megan: Well neither do I, so we’re even

Conner: do you WANT to be in a relationship with me? like boyfriend/girlfriend?

Megan: I'm trying not to sound overeager, but I really really do

Megan: A lot

Conner: me too

Megan: Okay, then I guess we're dating now? 

Conner: i guess so  

Megan: This feels super awkward

Conner: yeah 

Conner: would you mind if i called you? it just feels weird doing this over text

Wally: am I the only one who’s lowkey dreading thanksgiving, or…?

Conner: im right there with you buddy

Megan: Really, Wally? I thought out of everyone you would be the one most excited for Thanksgiving

Wally: two words: homophobic family

Wally: ...and transphobic family

Wally: so that’s five words I guess

Raquel: I felt that in my soul

Zatanna: same. my dad is amazing, but the rest of my family is a bunch of old stuffy italian people who are all super conservative, so that’s loads of fun

Megan: Last year Uncle John thought it would be a good idea if we spent Thanksgiving with the rest of my family, and it was so uncomfortable I’m pretty sure my soul left my body for a good three hours that day 

Conner: i would offer to invite you to my thanksgiving, but itll just be my dads glaring at each other from across the table the whole time while my stepmom talks about reporter stuff so…

Wally: I didn’t know you had two dads, that’s so cool!

Conner: trust me its not. they hate each other

Wally: why?

Conner: you dont want to know

Artemis: I’m going to be spending it with weirdos too so you’re not alone, Kon

Roy: How dare you? I will staple your lungs to a tree.

Artemis: Okay but Oliver spends the whole time making terrible food puns and Dinah is the school psychologist so that’s hella awkward

Roy: But I’m cool, right?

Artemis: No

Roy: :’(

Zatanna: don’t worry roy honey i think ur cool

Roy: :’)

Dick: Well I for one can’t wait until Turkey Day™

Dick: My family can’t have a sit-down dinner without erupting into complete chaos which usually involves mashed potatoes on the ceiling and at least two broken bones

Dick: It’s awesome

Conner: i feel like the more i learn about you, the more terrified i am to ever visit your home

Dick: As you should be :)

Artemis: Holy shit I just got chills  

Artemis: That cursed smiley came into my house and ate my children

Artemis: Hey, can I ask you something?

Dickhead: Yes these are in fact my real boobs, are you shocked?

Artemis: I just came back from Wally’s house after working more on our project (which is almost done by the way so eat my ass, Albert Einstein) and. Barry and Iris? I thought they were his parents?

Dickhead: Oh yeah, no they’re his aunt and uncle

Artemis: Apparently

Artemis: It’s just that if I hadn’t heard him call them that, I never would have even questioned it  

Dickhead: And let me guess, you texted me cause you want to know what happened to his parents?

Artemis: You must be a hit in charades

Artemis: But…kind of? I was just curious about how the whole living situation happened? I mean they definitely ACT like his parents, so…

Dickhead: It’s not really my story to tell

Artemis: I know, and don’t worry I’m not asking for details or anything

Artemis: Just

Artemis: Are they dead?

Dickhead: No, they’re not dead

Artemis: But they’re not around

Dickhead: Not anymore

Artemis: And what the heckity heck does that mean?

Dickhead: Look, if you really want to know then you should just ask Wally

Dickhead: It’s not a secret or anything, but I feel like I shouldn’t be the one telling the story, y’know?

Artemis: Gotcha

Artemis: Thanks

Dickhead: No problem

Artemis: Let’s say, hypothetically, that I wanted to cash in one of my 20 questions

Baywatch: okay?

Artemis: But what if it was kind of a touchy subject and I wouldn’t want you to feel obligated to answer

Artemis: Hypothetically, you would be allowed to not answer, right?

Baywatch: I guess if it’s really that personal

Baywatch: but you being all shifty about this is making my anxiety skyrocket a bit, so how about you just ask me and whatever happens happens

Artemis: But what if it’s too personal and I should just mind my own business?

Baywatch: idk, ask me and find out

Artemis: Yeah but I don’t want to pry even though that’s exactly what I’m doing

Artemis: Also I don’t know if I actually WANT to know the answer to begin with or if I’m just being nosy for the sake of being nosy

Baywatch: you couldn't have done this whole "I should/I shouldn't" spiral BEFORE you texted me? 

Artemis: Okay you know what just forget it, I’m not gonna ask

Baywatch: what is it?

Artemis: Never mind

Baywatch: okay but ur scaring me now so just ask already before I have a panic attack 

Artemis: No I changed my mind

Baywatch: artemissssssss

Baywatch: ask me ask me ask me

Artemis: No

Baywatch: I swear on my own grave that if you don’t ask me right this very second I’m gonna die and it’ll be your fault and then my ghost will keep secrets from you just to piss you off 

Artemis: Are you sure?

Baywatch: YES

Artemis: Okay, but just remember that you told me to ask

Baywatch: THANK YOU  

Baywatch: so…what’s your question?

Artemis: Well up until I was at your house yesterday, I sort of figured Barry and Iris were your parents? But it turns out they’re not and that got me wondering about…stuff

Baywatch: oh

Baywatch: that’s it?

Artemis: Yeah

Baywatch: fuck you artemis, you got me all nervous for nothing just now

Baywatch: I thought you were going to ask about my secret barbie movie collection

Artemis: Your what now

Baywatch: lemme guess, you want to know what happened to my actual parents?

Artemis: Like I said, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. I totally get it

Baywatch: no it’s okay, it’s not like it’s a secret

Baywatch: most of our other friends know anyway, so it’s only fair you know too

Artemis: Okay  

Baywatch: there’s not much to it really except my parents were kind of dicks? at least my dad was

Baywatch: my mom was nice but she didn’t really help or anything, so I mean 

Baywatch: but yeah, abusive asshole who became even more of an abusive asshole when he found out his daughter was actually his son, and he kind of lost it in a punchy/kicky/beat-the-shit-out-of-your-own-human-child kinda way

Baywatch: later that night I panicked and called barry for help, and he got me outta there real quick

Baywatch: then we moved to happy harbor for a fresh start, and now we’re still here four years later chillin like villains on penicillin

Baywatch: aaaaand that’s all I think. the end  

Artemis: Holy shit

Artemis: You're serious?

Baywatch: unfortunately yeah

Baywatch: but like I said, that was a long time ago and I haven’t seen my dad in years

Baywatch: and I’m mostly over it all now, so just don’t be weird okay?

Artemis: Yeah, it’s just  

Artemis: I don’t mean to quote The Breakfast Club (1989) dir. John Hughes, but your dad and my dad should go bowling

Baywatch: wait what   

Artemis: Yeah

Baywatch: oh 

Artemis: I mean nowhere near the same level I guess, but yeah

Baywatch: I feel like a giant dick for this but is it bad that all I can think of rn is “same hat”?

Baywatch: because same hat

Artemis: I’m sorry you had to go through all that

Artemis: That’s really rough

Baywatch: shut up I literally just told you not to be weird about it weren’t you even paying attention

Baywatch: kids these days I swear

Artemis: Sorry

Baywatch: damn straight

Artemis: So, about those barbie movies…

Baywatch: sorry, what’s that? I can’t hear you I’m going into a tunnel now hmmm that’s a shame

Artemis: Coward

Dick: I’ll go first

Dick: I am thankful for the happy lil freckle on my right hand that looks like the left side of Elvis Presley’s face

Raquel: Pic or you’re lying

Dick: [image sent]

Raquel: Well hello Mr. Presley

Raquel: I’m thankful for my roomba whom I’ve decorated with ninja turtle stickers because I love my son

Wally: I’m thankful for the fact that I have more freckles than dick

Dick: Yeah but nobody ever wants Big Freckle Energy so who’s the real winner here

Conner: ouch 

Artemis: Wow, how'd that feel, Wally? 

Artemis: He just came for your whole entire life. He snatched your wig clean off your skull. He came into your house, stole all your dishes, peed on your floor, and shaved your dog. Now are you just going to take that sitting down, or aRE YOU GOING TO FIGHT BACK? 

Kaldur: Stop being an instigator, Artemis. 

Dick: Talk shit get hit, now who else wants some of this (ง •̀_•́)ง

Wally: I hope your toothbrush grows mold on it

Kaldur: Stop ruining my Thanksgiving, you Cretins. 

Kaldur: I, for one, am thankful for my step-father’s delicious lemon squares, which taste like the whole universe baked into a square. They’re mouthgasmic.

Conner: good news everyone! kaldur here is officially banned from using the word ‘mouthgasm’ ever again!

Artemis: Ooh that sounds yummy I want a mouthgasm square

Wally: sTOP

Kaldur: I’ll save one for you.

Artemis: YEET <3

Artemis: I am also thankful for Kaldur’s stepdad’s lemon squares

Megan: I’m thankful for my friends, which is you guys because I love you all <3

Artemis: Awwww

Dick: This was supposed to be funny but things just got real,,, i luve yuo migan,,,,,

Zatanna: MEGAN UR MAKING ME CRY

Kaldur: Actually I’m changing my answer to that too because I also care about all of you.

Wally: STOP MAKING ME EMOTIONAL THAT’S NOT FAIR

Raquel: QUICK SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING FUNNY BEFORE WE ALL CATCH THE WARM AND FUZZIES

Conner: im thankful for the terribly made knick knacks you buy in the dollar store that you dont need or have any use for but you buy it anyway because its only a dollar and then you forget about it three days later and it made absolutely no impact on your life at all 

Raquel: Phew, that was a close one fellas

Roy: I’m thankful for the can of redbull I stashed in my jacket pocket because I will definitely be needing it today.

Zatanna: well i’m thankful that pluto is a planet because ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forced to become a dumb dwarf planet :)

Roy: Pluto will never be a real planet and you need to move on.

Zatanna: excuse???????? 

Zatanna: that's it who wants to watch me beat roy's ass behind nasa headquarters at high noon because we are Doing This

Raquel: I just saw this on your snap story and uh,  

Raquel: Why does your mom literally look like Beyonce

Kaldur: My mom used to model for Vogue in the eighties.

Raquel: No offense, but I’m pretty sure your mom is actually the goddess Aphrodite in human form who came to visit earth and melt the flesh of mortals but stayed for a passionate love affair which resulted in a son with cheekbones sharper than a well-dressed butch and made her realize that maybe humans aren’t so bad after all, perhaps there is indeed more to us than meets the eye

Kaldur: Thanks! That was very weird to read and I hated every second of it!

Raquel: You are so FUCKING welcome my man

Notes:

In case you were wondering how the whole "Lex Luthor + Clark Kent = Baby" thing works, I don't know either. Maybe they're bitter exes who adopted a kid together but then broke up? Maybe they both accidentally adopted the same baby and now must share him like in a bad romcom? Maybe they somehow mixed up their samples in a sperm bank and nobody knows who's Conner's real father like in a worse romcom? The world may never know.

Dick: People say it in England

Wally: never in my life have I ever not loved alfred until today

Wally: he’s turned you into a monster

Dick: Sorry but candy floss is the only correct way to call it and that’s just the tea

Artemis: That is the barnacliest load of barnacles I have ever heard in my seven whole years of life

Artemis: Okay…

Kaldur: That was it.

Artemis: So what’s your question?

Kaldur: My question is what the fuck.

Artemis: You lost me

Kaldur: That happened two periods ago and I cannot stop blushing, and I don’t think that is what usually happens when you get a silly gift from a friend.

Artemis: No it’s not

Dick: I’ll have you know I’ve grown two inches since last year so choke

Barbara: I’ll believe it when I see it

Dick: And do you want a fun response, or do you want a sappy response because this question is multiple choice

Barbara: Hmmm gimme both  

Barbara: I like variety

Dick: First off, for Bruce to stop wearing those godawful booty shorts he got from Selina around the house because I don’t know how much longer I can take it. They literally say Hot Dad in sequins on the back and it makes me want to die

Barbara: A worthy goal

Barbara: And the second one?

Dick: It’s really cheesy, but for you to come visit? That way we can actually hang out face to face for the first time in six months seventeen days and twelve minutes

Barbara: Someone’s been keeping track I see

Dick: Who, me? Of course not

Barbara: On a rate from one to ten trillion, how happy would you be if I could make one of those wishes come true?

Dick: Don’t tell me you sent me a sexy box of matches so I can burn Bruce’s booty shorts

Raquel: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Artemis: Dick I am so glad you managed to stay alive for a whole 365 days in a row

Conner: happy birthday dick!!

Roy: Happy birthday, bro. :)

Roy: But why does it matter that it’s 1:24?

Wally: because this is the exact moment 15 years ago when dick’s scrunchie bloody baby face first met fresh air and bright lights

Raquel: Hey Wally, do you accept constructive criticism?

Wally: no I do not but thanks for asking

Dick: I don’t know if I should be grossed out or touched but either way THANK

Zatanna: i think a little of both is a safe bet

Wally: okay but for real, I love you man <3

Dick: I love you too <33

Dick: No homo tho

Wally: not even a little homo?

Dick: Maybe just a teeny bit of homo

Wally: a small dash of homo

Dick: Just a wee bit of homo for flavor

Wally: a zesty sprinkle of homo on this bromantic cake

Artemis: This is really really gay

Dick: It is my /BIRTHDAY/, WOMAN, LET ME HAVE THIS

Dick: Speaking of!!

Roy: Did Bruce let you have coffee? You seem a bit more hyper today than usual which says a lot.

Dick: Redbull actually! It’s really really good except my eye won’t stop twitching and I can smell colors

Roy: Yikes.

Dick: You’re all coming to my party this weekend, right? I snuck into your houses while you were sleeping and left invitations under your pillows because I’m like the tooth fairy but smaller and about 12.7% more demonic

Artemis: I’m sorry what

Kaldur: Yes, I am definitely coming.

Megan: Me too! :D

Zatanna: not to be dramatic but i would honestly rather die than miss ur party

Dick: Dark, but I LOVE the enthusiasm!

Raquel: I want to see if there are any ghosts in your house

Dick: Does Jason count

Raquel: What

Dick: What  

Conner: count me in

Wally: yuppers because I invited myself to sleep over that day anyway

Dick: Good, I can’t wait for you all to meet Barbara it’ll be so fun

Megan: Who’s Barbara?

Wally: *cough* my arch ENEMY *cough*

Dick: You really need to let that go, dude

Dick: I can have more than one best friend

Wally: yeah, more than one best friend who both happen to have red hair, are science geniuses, and who you lowkey flirt with daily

Wally: it won’t be long before I end up bumped from my spot as bestest friend in the world, just like christina when she left grey’s anatomy and was never heard from again and got replaced with several new and better best friends because the world is a cruel cruel place  

Wally: (okay ngl I actually love babs and she’s great but also this is my turf and I am Ready To Battle)

Dick: I’ve known her like five years longer than you. If anything YOU invaded HER turf and I just let you stay because you’re the cheese to my mac <3

Wally: bRO <3  

Conner: this went in a whole lot of directions

Dick: Anyways, Babs is my friend who’s flying out this weekend from Gotham to come to my birthday party and she’s awesome so you’ll all love her

Artemis: You used to live in Gotham? DUDE SAME

Dick: A fellow veteran, I see! I feel like meeting people from Gotham is like bumping into people you knew before the apocalypse

Zatanna: why? what’s wrong with gotham?

Dick: Have you ever been there?

Zatanna: no

Dick: Good. Don’t go

Dick: That place is like if Tartarus had a baby with Oscar The Grouch’s garbage can

Dick: A sixth-grader tried to sell me meth behind a church once

Artemis: One time I got mugged and as the guy was walking away he got mugged by someone else

Kaldur: Oh my god.

Artemis: Yeah

Babs: Point made

Babs: And I liked them

Babs: I mean I already met Wally and Roy before, but yeah your friends are pretty cool

Dick: Enough to make you want to visit more often? (Hint hint)

Babs: Has anyone ever told you you’re awfully pushy?

Dick: Not to my face, no

Babs: They should

Dick: Can’t imagine why

Babs: You really miss little old me that much?

Dick: Who, me? Of course not

Dick: I’m just asking for Wally’s sake, obviously

Dick: I told him that you are a very busy woman, what with your one (1) book club and all of your two social media accounts taking up all the time you could be much more productively spending here with one of your favorite people in the whole wide world, but you know how he is

Babs: Riiiight

Babs: Well have patience, eager beaver

Babs: Maybe if you grovel enough, I can visit again for spring break and we can spend some time together

Wally: I need ur help

Wally: I hurt my ankle from running backwards down the hallway and tripping over an artificial armadillo that some theater kid left on the floor and I heard a crack but like. a lowkey crack. like if you did a line of cocaine but your cool new friend named Richie didn’t tell you it was actually just pixie stick dust and now you have a sinus infection but you can’t tell anyone becasue they’ll know you tried to do cocaine even though they should already know since the vine of you choking on nose powder went viral after only four hours which you really should have gotten paid for honestly because god knows it’s rough being an up and coming actor in this time and age

Kon: what…

Kon: what does this mean

Wally: it means I need you to carry me around until school ends por favor

Kon: sure

Wally: …wait really? it’s that easy?

Kon: yeah i dont mind

Wally: oh my god I didn’t think you would actually accept, this is great!

Wally: I am currently lying on the couch in the teachers lounge with my new best friend in the whole wide world mr. nelson bc he bought me an ice cream sandwich when I was crying over leg hurty so now I would die for him

Kon: fun

Kon: so do you want me to carry you bridal style or?

Wally: nah, just let me jump onto your shoulders and I can latch on like a koala

Wally: I’ve been told I’m very huggable

Wally: like a boa constrictor but instead of killing you I make you feel warm and safe and loved

Wally: I’m basically if you carried pikachu on your back

Wally: a pikachu/boa constrictor/koala hybrid, if you will

Wally: pikaoalarictor

Kon: on my way now

Kon: just give me a sec, im walking megan to class and then ill be right there

One Black Coffee: I have never met that man before in my life

Hot Chocolate: Well we were talking about stuff, and at one point he mentioned that he was thinking about asking ol’ Megurt here on a date

Hot Chocolate: Which of course could only mean two possible things:

Hot Chocolate: One: He is suicidal and wants Conner to be the one to end it all for him

Hot Chocolate: Or…..drum roll please………..

Raquel: Inch resting

Raquel: What’s mine?

Kaldur: Learn to knit.

Raquel: Why?

Kaldur: Because I need a friend who can join my kitting circle so I don’t have to be lonely while all of the other members talk to each other.

Dick: Who else is in it?

Kaldur: My mother, my step-father, and my pet starfish.

Raquel: A valid point. I’ll learn to knit

Kaldur: Roy, your resolution is to be more organized.

Roy: I think I’m already pretty organized, no?

Kaldur: Last time I went to your house there was underwear duct-taped to the ceiling.

Roy: Those were my spy underpants.

Kaldur: Zatanna, you need to drink more water.

Zatanna: because one time i told artemis i thought her laugh was a little weird and the next day i found a dead frog in my bed

Conner: what are you, a vengeful mob boss?

Artemis: Hey, talk shit get dead frogs

Kaldur: Well, I was going to say that Artemis’ resolution is to trust her friends more, but now I think I should change it to “Don’t give your friends dead amphibians.”

Wally: yeah, we don’t want your amphia beans

Megan: What’s my resolution?

Kaldur: Oh, you don’t have one because you are already perfect.

Megan: Awwww Kaldur <3

Megan: You’re right, I am

Dick: This game is rigged

Dick: Kaldur, it has been decided by us the people that your resolution is to jaywalk because you deserve to suffer after this blatant favoritism

Zatanna: seriously? that’s it? that’s like the easiest thing in the world, i do it all the time

Kaldur: Oh my god how could you ask me to put my life on the line like this Dick, I am gOING TO GET ARRESTED AND GO TO PRISON FOREVER AND BE FORCED TO GET MORE TATTOOS AND I WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO GO TO HARVARD

Artemis: And if I’m left alone to deal with yet another dude whining about being beaten twelve times in a row, I swear to god I’m going to start aiming for eyes

Bitch In Law: You need anger management.

Artemis: Bold words for a guy who spends his nights catfishing homophobes on facebook

Bitch In Law: Correction, that’s a “hot and single blonde named Mindy” who catfishes homophobes on facebook, thank you very much.

Bitch In Law: By the way, I was hoping to run an issue by you for a sec, and only because I need to talk about it to someone so it might as well be you because you don’t count as a person.

Artemis: Bitch

Bitch In Law: So if you could just give me your kindest, most supportive, non-bitchiest input on this that would be swell.

Artemis: That’s a tall order

Bitch In Law: I’ll make you a root beer float.

Artemis: …I’m listening

Bitch In Law: The other day, Kaldur mentioned that he liked the musical Rent.

Bitch In Law: So that night I watched the whole movie twice.

Artemis: Why?

Bitch In Law: Because I may have possibly mentioned that it was my favorite musical too as a way to talk to him more?

Artemis: You lost me

Bitch In Law:

Artemis: Wait

Artemis: Oh

Artemis: OH

Artemis: Wow okay

Bitch In Law: Yeah.

Artemis: So you are bringing me into this conversation to tell me that you’re crushing on Kaldur? Gross 

Bitch In Law: I don’t know? It feels different than it did when I liked Jade so I have no idea what’s going on.

Artemis: Well I think that’s just because Jade tried to jump your bones two minutes after meeting you, but I get what you mean

Bitch In Law: Right now Kaldur and I are friends and that’s great, but there have been moments where it felt different but I didn’t exactly know HOW, you know? And I still can’t figure out if I actually like him or if I just like him as a friend or maybe I hate his guts and am too dumb to figure it out.

Artemis: Well that’s…complicated

Artemis: So what are you going to do about it?

Bitch In Law: Uhhhhh I haven’t thought that far ahead yet. I’m not very organized. I just needed to vent, and you seemed like a good confidant because you have no other friends.

Artemis: Eat a cactus

Bitch In Law: Listen though, promise me you won’t tell anyone about this for now okay? At least until I figure it all out.

Artemis: Sure, whatever. I stopped caring about this two seconds after you first texted me anyway

Bitch In Law: Pinkie swear.

Artemis: What are you, five?

Bitch In Law: Pinkie Swear Me Artemis. 

Artemis: Fiiiiine you actual toddler. Pinkie swear

Bitch In Law: Thank you. And in return, I’ll help you beat people’s asses at badminton tomorrow in addition to the root beer.

Artemis: Deal

Megan: If by “something else” you mean a super awesome rainbow clubhouse, then yes absolutely

Wally: very well said

Megan: Why thank you, good sir

Kaldur: By the way, I have been meaning to ask what you all have thought of our “den mothers” so far. Today was certainly entertaining.

Wally: oh yeah, ms. lance is awesome so I had fun

Wally: she is my second best friend in the whole wide world

Dick: Awww, and I’m your first?

Wally: no, the geico gecko actually 

Wally: but you can be third if you want

Dick: Hell yeah third place

Dick: Eat my ass, no-placers

Roy: Given the fact that she’s my stepmom it probably should’ve been awkward, but she’s strangely awesome so.

Zatanna: after the meeting she showed me how to flip someone over my shoulder and snap their collarbone 

Zatanna: i idolize her

Artemis: Mr. Curry from before the break was interesting

Conner: he smelled like fish

Kaldur: Yes, Mr. Curry is the swim team coach.

Zatanna: i thought u guys used the pool in the school basement? there aren’t any fish in there

Zatanna: i trust u with my life

Kaldur: Are you with me or against me, Zee??

Zatanna: yes

Conner: whats the deal?

Raquel: Kaldur doesn’t trust me enough to pierce his ear, which I think is absolute hogwash because I’ve seen it done in youtube videos before so that basically makes me an expert

Kaldur: Yeahhhh, no.

Raquel: Okay but I am offering to do it for FREE. Going to a place to do it is a waste of money because I’m a professional

Dick: Wait, Kaldur you actually want an earring? Raquel didn’t just kidnap you and tie you to a chair and force you to let her stick you with a needle?

Raquel: Excuse you, I’m not completely insane

Raquel: Just a tiny bit insane

Kaldur: Yes.

Artemis: Yes she’s crazy, or yes you wanted the earring

Kaldur: Both.

Zatanna: unexpected, but neat!

Zatanna: in that case u should definitely let her do it

Zatanna: she did all of her earrings herself and she looks fantabulous

Raquel: See? It’ll be easy peasy

Conner: how come you want the earring anyway? thats so unlike you, the calm responsible guy

Kaldur: No reason.

Kaldur: And Raquel, if I get an infection and my ear falls off I’m suing you.

Raquel: Does that mean you’re letting me do it?

Kaldur: Yes. But only if you promise not to mess up and maim me for life. Also I would like a lollipop after.

Wally: I just wanted to talk to you about something real quick? if that’s okay

Blondie: Go for it

Wally: so this is probably going to sound way better in my head than out loud, but I just wanted to let you know that I liked doing that project with you

Wally: I mean, I know it was just a dumb assignment that wasn’t even worth that much, but I NEVER thought we would be able to work together on anything without one of us punching each other in the face, y’know?

Wally: but we did, and tbh it was pretty cool. I kind of liked hanging out with you like that

Wally: we’re a pretty good team

Wally: okay yeah, I’m rereading this and it DEFINITELY sounded better in my head so I’m gonna just. duck out of here,,,

Blondie: No, lmao Wally it’s okay

Blondie: I agree with you, actually?

Wally: you do?

Blondie: Turns out you’re not as irritating and stupid as I thought you were, so

Blondie: Yeah

Blondie: I liked hanging out with you too

Wally: oh

Wally: okay, that’s good

Wally: so… we’re friends, then?

Blondie: Friends

Wally: like, actual friends? not just two people who happen to hang in the same group and casually hate each other for life? 

Blondie: What do you want, a marriage proposal?

Blondie: Yes, Wally, we are officially friends

Blondie: Satisfied?

Wally: PUT YOUR GENTLY-LOTIONED HANDS TOGETHER, BECAUSE WE HEREBY PRESENT TO YOUUUUUUUU U U U U

Zatanna: a scheme

Wally: a schemy scheme

Zatanna: dare i say, the schemiest of schemes

Artemis: This is like the first ten minutes of an old technicolor disney movie  

Wally: does nobody appreciate a good old-fashioned, long-winded exposition anymore???

Roy: No. Now please just get on with it before I die of old age.

Wally: bold of you to assume you’re not already a 30 y/o dad trapped in a teenager’s body

Wally: bRING IT OLD MAN

Kaldur: WALLY! BEHAVE.

Wally: FINE

Wally: as I am sure you all know, we will be having a new den mother for today’s meeting

Zatanna: a certain den mother by the name of mr. marvel, aka that fun substitute who just started this year so he’s super young and cool  

Wally: now, mr. marvel is very nice compared to the other teachers in our school  

Zatanna: and naive

Wally: and, most importantly, easily tricked

Conner: hes not like a regular mom, hes like a cool mom

Raquel: Did

Raquel: Did you just quote Amy Poehler?

Wally: (please ignore conner, we watched mean girls together last night and I regret everything)

Conner: boo you whore

Zatanna: aNYWAY

Zatanna: as loyal students, we believe it is our duty to take advantage of this naivety

Wally: in an event so astounding, so devious, it will be celebrated on this very day every year for generations

Dick: For the love of GOD just spit it out you drama queens

Wally: FINE

Wally: we’re going to convince him to buy us all taco bell, you in?

Raquel: Oh, why didn’t you just lead with that?

Raquel: I’m in

Conner: that sounds so fetch

Megan: I could go for Taco Bell

Artemis: I skipped lunch to throw ketchup-covered tampons at the swim team, so I’m starving

Kaldur: That was you??

Roy: Sign me up, I love free food.

Raquel: But how are we going to pull it off?

Zatanna: we were just about to get to that part, but /SOMEBODY/ got impatient

Wally: we’re going to claim the cafeteria ran out of food and started feeding everyone peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Artemis: How will that do anything?

Zatanna: as of right now, every single one of us is “deathly allergic to peanut butter”

Wally: just act super sad and hungry, and dickhead over here is going to hack into marvel’s computer so he keeps getting subliminal messages in the form of taco bell ads, and badda bing badda boom we’re home free

Dick: Ooh, I like this plan

Zatanna: it’s foolproof

Raquel: I could use a baja blast, let’s do this thing

Conner: whatever, im getting cheese fries

Kaldur: While I don’t think I should be condoning tricking a teacher into buying us food, I HAVE been craving a burrito all day…

Roy: You’re selling hot sauce packets?

Wally: yknow what really grinds my gears?

Artemis: Not particularly, but I’m assuming you’re going to tell us anyway

Wally: so we all know about the multiverse theory,

Artemis: Sigh

Wally: and everyone knows how it implies that there is an infinite number of alternate universes in existence, each one running parallel to our own

Raquel: Why does science always give me a headache? But go on

Wally: if this theory is true, then that would mean there is a universe for every single tiny detail or possibility imaginable, right?

Conner: yeah?

Wally: so does that mean there’s an alternate universe that exists in which I didn’t just drop my favorite naruto keychain down the sewer drain?

Wally: because that’s the universe I would want to live in

Artemis: Alternate universe where you never had a keychain to begin with, that way you can’t lose it

Wally: good thinking

Wally: fuck the system

Zatanna: alternate universe where ur keychain was the real naruto and he just got out of the sewer drain himself

Conner: alternate universe where the naruto run includes flapping your arms like a chicken

Artemis: Alternate universe where instead of Monday we just go straight from Sunday to Tuesday so we don’t have to deal with hating Mondays

Kaldur: Alternate universe in which the Star Wars movies were released in the correct order.

Dick: Alternate universe where Star Wars is actually called “Galactic Scuffles” starring Derp Vaper

Wally: you all need to use some imagination

Wally: I mean, infinite universes means literally ANYTHING you can think of

Wally: alternate universe where we have no opposable thumbs but we have six arms to compensate, and also where buttons scream when you press them

Megan: Universe in which gum is called silly goo

Raquel: Alternate universe where everything in existence is .2 inches to the left

Conner: universe where miley cyrus invented myspace

Dick: Universe where pencils doesn’t exist but erasers do

Zatanna: oh my god we could go on forever because it’s literally infinite this is breaking my skull

Wally: lucky I don’t have a skull

Wally: or bones

Artemis: Alternate universe where you didn’t make that comment

Wally: alternate universe where you didn’t make THAT comment

Conner: universe where instead of frozen that quote came from the bible

Megan: Universe where bones aren’t a thing so we move by flopping around like noodles and that having an artificial spine implant is controversial because of poor body image

Roy: Universe where my name is actually Benjamin.

Kaldur: Universe in which Benjamin Franklin’s name was actually Roy.

Artemis: Universe where sugar is actually poisonous

Kaldur: Tell your cousin I am happy for them!

Dick: NICE GOING BART, I KNEW THAT KID WAS QUEER AS A PRIDE PARADE I JUST KNEW IT

Megan: How did it go?

Wally: well we were playing mario kart at my house and I was talking about how the wonder pets could beat the avengers in a brawl (since they’ve got teamwork on their side and the avengers break up like twice a week over petty shit), and then out of nowhere bart looked at me completely serious and said “I like dick”

Wally: and I was so surprised I didn’t notice he fucking blue shelled me

Artemis: Your cousin is my new favorite person

Raquel: Oh my god this is SO going to be my video game strategy from now on

Raquel: I’ll just blurt out “I like pussy” and then immediately kill them without remorse

Conner: happy valentines day <3

Megan: Happy Valentine’s Day!! :*

Conner: i found the giant teddy bear and candy you left in my truck by the way, and i dont know if i should be concerned or not that you managed to break in so easily

Megan: I may have had a little help. I’ll give you a hint, his name starts with D and rhymes with “ick”

Conner: well thank you. i love it

Megan: So, do you have any big plans for today? Hint hint :)

Conner: subtle

Megan: Thank you

Conner: and if by “big plans” you mean a romantic day out with a certain beautiful someone who shall remain nameless, then yes. very big plans

Megan: And who is this certain someone? She must be pretty great

Conner: she really is

Conner: then again, she also likes ketchup on her eggs so idk, she might be an alien

Megan: Really, Conner? On Cupid’s birthday. I’m ashamed of you

Conner: will i be forgiven if i mention the roses and chocolates i have for you? :)

Megan: Roses and chocolates? Someone went all out for the holiday 

Conner: well it is also the three month anniversary since our first date, so i figured it warranted some extra specialness  

Conner: ive got a great date planned for us later that may or may not include lunchables and disney movies

Megan: Did you get the pizza ones?

Conner: come on, what do you take me for?

Roy: *to the tune of the doofenshmirtz evil incorporated jingle* I AM GON-NA HAVE A MEN-TAL BREAK-DOWWWN!!!

Satan: If this is going to be more of you gushing about Kaldur for an hour while I bang my head against a wall, just know that I haven’t had any coffee yet and my level of patience is so small Dick could use it as a toothpick

Roy: Okay but you don’t UNDERSTAND, Artemis.

Roy: Today is Valentine’s Day! A day of romance and happiness! And I have neither of those!

Satan: Hmm, that’s unfortunate

Satan: It sounds like you should grow a pair, find Kaldur, and ASK HIM THE FUCK OUT YOU ACTUAL DISASTER PERSON

Roy: Noooo I can’t do that. And do you want to know why?

Satan: No

Roy: Because Kaldur doesn’t like me in that way, and he never will. I am destined to live out my days all alone in a crappy apartment with five parakeets and a leak in the roof.

Satan: I promise you that’s not the case. Go make out with him and stop bothering me

Roy: See, that’s just the thing! It is EXACTLY the case!

Roy: The other day, Drunk Roy made his feelings perfectly clear, and Drunk Roy was a MILLION times more confident than Regular Roy. Drunk Roy put it all out there, and what did Sober Kaldur do?

Satan: Nothing?

Roy: NOTHING!

Roy: Which is obviously his way of telling me he doesn’t like me back, which, whatever. I’m totally cool with it. There are PLENTY of other fish in the sea, even if Kaldur is the prettiest fish I’ve ever seen and none of the other fish can use the word “whence” in a sentence without seeming like a douchebag.

Satan: OR, maybe he was just too scared to make a move and is waiting for Sober Roy to ask him out officially. Bitch

Roy: No, that can’t be it.

Satan: Okay but it definitely is

Roy: See, what I REALLY need is a distraction.

Satan: What you need is a pair of balls

Roy: You are being very unhelpful right now and I don’t think that’s fair of you, considering I have been feeding you kraft mac and cheese and juice pouches for years. You owe me this rant session.

Satan:

Satan: Ugh

Satan: FINE

Satan: I’m in the computer lab, bring coffee

Roy: THANK YOU.

Dick Joke: I wonder whose clever and fantastic Valentine’s day gift that was

Dick Joke: Whoever it was, I sure hope he didn’t plant several more glitter bombs for each of his friends to find, as well as hidden cameras so he can catch it all on video :)

Raquel: You worry me

Raquel: ….Send me those videos tho

Dick Joke: Already uploaded to your phone

Roy: “Above average.” Understatement.  

Conner: and those eyes too??? how is that possible

Megan: No offense Kaldur but I want to have your babies

Wally: …also I need a favor

Blondie: Of course

Wally: I resent that

Wally: and this favor will benefit you too, so just hear me out okay?

Blondie: I’m listening, but only because I need a distraction from Roy and Kaldur texting me to whine about their feelings

Blondie: It’s driving me insane

Blondie: Any second now I’m going to start talking to the walls and eating my phone like a cheeseburger

Wally: they’re still clueless, huh?

Blondie: You don’t even KNOW the half of it

Blondie: Neither will stop going on about their massive crushes, but they both made me swear to secrecy so I can’t say anything about it to them and it’s KILLING ME

Blondie: Roy has cried into my lap TWICE today

Blondie: I had to watch Kaldur buy Roy a bouquet of roses and then flush them down the toilet when he got too nervous to give them to him

Blondie: If they don’t get their shit together soon, I’m not going to make it through the night

Wally: in that case, allow me to offer up my services and provide the perfect distraction

Blondie: Go on

Wally: russo’s is having a valentine’s day special tonight

Wally: free unlimited ice cream sundaes for all couples

Blondie: It’s a shame you’re not part of a couple then

Wally: yes, yes it is

Roy: Which. Yeah it’s been a few years since I dated anyone, but still.

Roy: And odds are it’ll be hella awkward because they think they’re “cool parents” which they most definitely are NOT, but at least they’re rich so the food will be, like, gourmet stuff.

Monday, February 20

Artemis: I want money

Baywatch: is this a general desire, or are you mugging me?

Artemis: General desire

Baywatch: gotcha. carry on

Artemis: Like, you know when you get that feeling like you want to drop everything and just GO somewhere? It doesn’t even matter where you actually go, you just want to be travelling and seeing places and experiencing stuff you’ve only seen on tv? And you already know where you would go if you could, but you have neither the time nor the resources to do so, so you just spend your life living in unsatisfied purgatory because you can’t do ANYTHING????

Artemis: Anyway I want to go places

Artemis: But I can’t

Artemis: Because I’m poor

Baywatch: rip

Baywatch: I have to say though, I’m honored you came to me to complain about being broke to

Baywatch: that’s like. level six friendship status

Artemis: How many levels are there in your made-up friendship scale?

Baywatch: ten, duh

Artemis: And what’s level ten? Pulling out each other’s tampons?

Baywatch: well that’s when you go from friends to fuck buddies, naturally

Artemis: Ah

Artemis: Which level are we at?

Baywatch: hmmmmmm

Baywatch: I’d say a solid 4.5

Artemis: Not bad, considering we started out at around -37

Baywatch: where do you think you would go?

Artemis: What?

Baywatch: if money weren’t an issue, where do you think you’d go? if you could travel anywhere in the universe right this very second

Artemis: Oh

Artemis: Probably a cabin in the woods

Baywatch: seriously?

Artemis: Yeah

Baywatch: out of every place in the known universe, including disneyland, paris, italy, the moon, all of those places rich white people go when they want to brag to their friends about their summer vacation,,,

Baywatch: you would pick a cabin in the woods?

Artemis: Yep

Baywatch: huh

Baywatch: any patch of woods in particular?

Artemis: Doesn’t matter

Artemis: I want a cozy cabin surrounded by trees and wilderness and deer, with the nearest town just out of sight but still within walking distance

Artemis: And every day I’ll hang out with forest creatures and read books and shoot arrows at stuff

Baywatch: wow. that actually sounds kind of nice

Baywatch: like with a fireplace and old school rocking chairs on the porch

Artemis: Yep yep

Artemis: Why, where would you go?

Baywatch: well, I was originally gonna say paris because that’s like. the romance capital of the world and also it’s on my bucket list to eat a croissant on the eiffel tower

Baywatch: but now I’m liking your idea better so idk

Artemis: You should come visit me at my cabin, then

Artemis: I’ll teach you how to go camping like an actual human being and not like a nerd who has to bring three tubs of sunscreen every time he goes outside

Baywatch: hey, I burn easily!

Baywatch: the sun has it out for me I tell ya

Artemis: Sure it does

Baywatch: I’ll hold you to that, though

Artemis: To what?

Baywatch: your cabin

Baywatch: I’ll come over for a slumber party one day and we’ll sit in the old rocking chairs and read books and listen to bad music on the radio

Artemis: Deal

Artemis: You’ll have to bring me along on your Paris trip, then

Baywatch: well duh

Baywatch: you don’t honestly expect me to go travelling without my 4.5th best friend, do you?

Artemis: Silly me

Artemis: Shit, my math teacher is glaring at me now

Artemis: We can talk more later

Baywatch: dans l’attente de paris, mademoiselle

Artemis: What does that say? I’m too lazy to google translate

Baywatch: it means have fun in class!

Wally: that’s a blatant lie and you know it. you emerged from the womb with devil horns

Dick: Thanks, I cover them with my floofy hair

Megan: What did Dick do? Now I’m curious to know what warranted an angry group chat name change at 4am

Zatanna: screw that, i’m curious to know who taught kaldur about vines

Kaldur: He knows what he did.

Dick: Don’t leave your phone unattended and nothing will happen to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dick: I was simply fulfilling my duty as an American and teaching you a valuable lesson about thievery

Wally: *cough* DEMON *cough*

Wally: OUR MOM HAS RETURNED FROM THE WAR, FELLAS

Conner: i hope he tells us about the serial killer case

Roy: I seriously doubt it was a serial killer case.

Conner: suuuuure it wasnt

Conner: believe that hogwash if you want

Conner: me? i want to hear about how our very own den mother brought the scranton strangler to justice

Artemis: I for one am glad that Toby from The Office is off the streets and in jail where he can’t hurt anyone else

Wally: I wonder which cereal he killed

Wally: it had better have been tony the tiger

Wally: never trusted him for a second

Zatanna: this is actually the perfect timing for tornado to come back

Zatanna: i just learned how to shoot a spitball and make it stick on the ceiling and i’ve been waiting since tuesday to show him

Raquel: You think that’s impressive? PleAse

Raquel: REAL talent is shooting a spitball that’s on fire

Megan: Um, fire hazard?

Raquel: Only if you’re a coward

Zatanna: please teach me

Dick: Me too me too!! I want to shoot fireballs

Artemis: SO

Artemis: As you all know, Wally and I have physics together

Artemis: The teacher was going on about some science-y stuff,

Wally: dummy you weren’t even paying attention

Artemis: Tell me when I’ll need to know how much force it takes for a rocket ship to leave orbit and I’ll start paying attention in class

Artemis: Now be quiet. I don’t need any hecklers interrupting storytime

Artemis: Anyway, the teacher asked us if we would rather get crushed by a textbook or an apartment building to prove some point about blah blah blah

Artemis: And guess what Mr. Genius over here said

Wally: ……..please don’t call me out like this

Dick: Aasdfghjkl;lkjhytrdcfv Wally I love you so much oh my god

Kaldur: I’m guessing something happened with Artemis?

Raquel: Driving is hard

Raquel: New plan: become a scientist and invent teleportation that way I never have to learn how

Conner: you started trying for your license?

Raquel: Trying and failing

Raquel: I knew I was gay, but I had no idea I was THAT gay

Raquel: It took me five minutes to figure out that I still had the car in park

Raquel: I broke the windshield wipers just by turning them on

Artemis: You kidding? Driving’s so fun. I used to take out my neighbor’s car at night and drive to frat parties all the time when I was a kid

Kaldur: There is not a single part of that sentence that doesn’t have me extremely concerned.

Artemis: In my defense, I didn’t know right from wrong until fifth grade when my therapist gave me a pamphlet on how not to be a thug

Artemis: It said every time I defied the law a puppy would cry and that broke me

Conner: i could help if you want

Conner: raquel i mean

Conner: no offense artemis, but i think youre past saving

Artemis: None taken

Raquel: Didn’t you get road rage and kick a tree in half once?

Conner: that was ONE TIME, and it was a SMALL tree

Megan: I was there, it was not a small tree

Megan: I had to play the Lion King soundtrack on my phone for ten minutes until he calmed down

Conner: and my dad made me plant forty new trees the weekend after, so doesnt that count for something?

Raquel: Sorry, buddy

Kaldur: I would be willing to help you. I already have my permit, so I can teach you the basics. Though we will need a responsible licensed driver present as well.

Roy: I volunteer as tribute.

Artemis: Of course you do

Artemis: Also you’re not responsible in the slightest

Roy: How dare you? I’m VERY responsible.

Kaldur: Um.

Roy: How dare you spout this blasphemy? You’re my BOYFRIEND, you have to take my side.

Roy: And like you’re any more responsible than I am.

Kaldur: I will have you know that I am a perfect saint. I have never done anything wrong in my life. Every parent wants their child to turn out like me.

Dick: Weren’t you banned from the aquarium once?

Raquel: KJHJKLJH WHAT

Kaldur: God you steal ONE penguin, and suddenly you’re “psychotic” and “a menace to society.”

Dick: Kaldur, you are officially my new favorite person

Dick: And as for all of your guys’ driving problems, happy to report that I can’t relate! So suck it

Artemis: You’ll have to learn eventually, you walnut

Notes:

Let’s do the time warp agaiiiiin. Yes I DID in fact fuck up the timeline so the days of the week are aligned like ours from this chapter on because I’m Tired of trying to calculate which day of the week it would be for each date. Why didn’t I just synchronize it with our current calendar in the first place, you ask? Excellent question!

Moving on.

(Psssssst. It’s because I’m stupid.)

Kaldur: Everyone, we need to talk.

Wally: really? after everything we’ve been through, you’re ending it? just like that? I gave you my VIRGINITY, you bastard!

Kaldur: Please stop.

Zatanna: what do we have to talk about?

Kaldur: I am sure you’ve all noticed that there have been quite a few additions to GSA lately.

Artemis: What can we say? Gay is contagious

Zatanna: excuse u, OBVIOUSLY the reason we have more members is bc of those posters kal and i made

Zatanna: so ur welcome

Kaldur: We hung them in every hallway in the school, including the basement.

Zatanna: 2 in the hallways with a lot of windows that way the light reflecting off the buckets of rainbow glitter will get people’s attention

Kaldur: We did good work. I’m proud of us.

Zatanna: team sparkles for the win

Dick: Well I’d like to point out that I’m def not complaining about all the new people. Having Tim there is awesome because now he can’t escape my fantastic puns

Artemis: You’re ridiculous

Dick: Don’t you mean riDICKulous?

Artemis: I

Wally: wow

Wally: you really walked into that one huh

Artemis: Hindsight is a fickle queen

Kaldur: Opinions aside, we have not yet invited the new members to join in our group chat, and I think it is about time we did.

Megan: Um, no?

Megan: This is our house

Megan: They can get their own

Zatanna: yeah, those newbies need to EARN their right to join the Forbidden Zone

Kaldur: We can’t keep them out of the loop forever.

Kaldur: When GSA was canceled last week I found them all the next day camping outside of the classroom in tents and sleeping bags.

Artemis: It’s not our fault they’re not worthy of being in the know about gay stuff  

Dick: I concur

Raquel: Such an invasion of our inner circle would be abysmal

Dick: Horrific

Raquel: Cataclysmic

Kaldur: What do you propose we do, then? I can’t exactly use carrier pigeons every time I need to make an announcement.

Zatanna: not with that attitude u can’t

Megan: Why don’t we just make a new group chat?

Dick: Go on

Megan: We can make a separate server and tell them that it’s the one we’ve been using all year

Megan: We still have our house, and the intruders can know about club stuff

Megan: It’s a win/win

Conner: works for me

Artemis: Yeah, that’s a good idea

Wally: it’ll be like gsa: the season two edition

Kaldur: I’m glad that’s settled. I will make it soon and add you all.

Raquel: Next item up for debate: ketchup on mashed potatoes, yay or nay?

Raquel: In that case I am DEFINITELY in, let’s fuck up the whole institution

Conner: what did the school do?

Artemis: Okay well

Artemis: It wasn’t the SCHOOL, per say

Kaldur: (I am so sorry for this but.)

Kaldur: (*per se)

Artemis: (you shut your whore mouth, I am an american and I will use whatever incorrect grammar I want)

Artemis: It was more of one teacher in particular who shall go unnamed

Artemis: (*cough* Mr. Savage *cough*)

Dick: What’d he do this time?

Raquel: Spill all the tea honey

Artemis: We were taking a quiz in global and I had my earbuds in because I’d already finished early and handed it in, but Savage went off the shits and took my phone even though I wasn’t even TOUCHING IT, and then he called me a dumb millennial for being addicted to “instachat”

Kaldur: Do we even count as millennials? I have no idea how that works.

Dick: Idk about you guys, but I’m definitely a gen z

Dick: I make great puns and am careless with my own mortality because all of life is a hallucination :)

Dick: *finger guns*

Kaldur: You and I need to have a talk.

Artemis: After class I asked for my phone back, but he said I couldn’t have it until the end of the day

Artemis: And when I asked why he was being such an asshole, he said “Because I’m the teacher and you’re the student, and if you keep bothering me about this I’ll give you detention for the rest of the week”

Raquel: Oh my god what a jerk

Dick: Who says that to a child?? Bitch nugget

Artemis: Mhm

Roy: Artemis I’m sorry that happened to you, but I have to ask:

Roy: If Savage has your phone, how are you texting us now?

Artemis: Oh I decided to ditch for the rest of the day and hang out in the computer lab instead

Kaldur: Please go to class next period, I don’t want you skipping for the whole day.

Artemis: You’re not my mom

Dick: Isn’t he, though?

Kaldur: Wait I thought I was the dad. Wally always calls me the dad.

Dick: Yeah, but we say mom friend not dad friend

Dick: The mom friend is the one who’s responsible and supportive and maternal

Dick: The dad friend is the one who lets you gamble your allowance away on a game of drunk Bop It and takes a video

Artemis: Back to the matter at hand, people

Artemis: I want my gotdamn phone back

Artemis: My one connection to the world is gone

Artemis: How long have I been off the grid? Are memes still a thing? Did Leonardo DiCaprio win his Oscar yet?

Raquel: Pretty sure that happened already

Conner: and arent you on a computer??

Artemis: How dare you interrupt my turmoil with rationality

Artemis: I miss my phone

Artemis: I feel NAKED

Artemis: And not in the fun way

Roy: Your phone is the one with the cheshire cat case, right?

Artemis: Yeah

Roy: Then in that case, meet me at your locker and I’ll give it to you.

Conner: that was fast

Artemis: Roy, I take back every mean thing I’ve ever said to you :’)

Artemis: Including yesterday when I got drunk on frozen yogurt and called you a wrinkly slutbag <3

Roy: Apology accepted.

Roy: I also left a tack on Savage’s chair because fuck him.

Kaldur: Am I the only sane, non-murderous person here??

Blondie: Vaguely

Blondie: Why?

Wally: okay so normally I would just go to miss lance when I need to vent but she has the flu and has been absent all week, and yeah dick is my queerplatonic soulmate but I can’t exactly talk to him about this kind of stuff because it’s different and I really really really need someone to talk to or I’m gonna start pulling my hair out and binge-eating doritos  

Wally: and I know I probably shouldn’t annoy you with all my problems but it’s been a shitty week and I haven’t slept in DAYS and I don’t know who else to go to and you can just say the word and I’ll stop becuase I’m kinda bombarding you rn but I don’t knwo what else to do and

Blondie: Wally

Blondie: Take a breath, okay?

Blondie: Look, do you feel like talking would make you feel better?

Wally: I think so, yeah

Blondie: Okay 

Blondie: Then I’m here to listen

Wally: you sure?

Blondie: Yes. Tell me what’s up

Wally: okay

Wally: so you already know that I’m trans, which. okay

Wally: and usually it doesn’t bother me too much? mostly because I’m really good at distracting myself and also barry and iris are like, the most supportive people on the face of the earth

Wally: but sometimes dysphoria’s a bitch anyway and wants me to suffer

Wally: especially around this particular time of the month,,,if you catch my drift

Blondie: Oof

Wally: tbh it had already been pretty bad in the last few weeks and left me all uncomfortable and depressed and stuff, but then my fucking period had to fuck it up even more which. thanks for that, body, REALLY appreciate it

Wally: and like, I’ve been on T for so long that I kind of thought this went away? but apparently it hasn’t which is Just So Fucking Great, Really

Wally: and I know I’m 100% a dude, but it’s not fun being reminded that other guys don’t usually have to deal with this shit

Wally: and it makes my dysphoria a billion times worse and I can’t sleep and I can’t focus in class and it hurts to bind but if I don’t then it’ll make the dysphoria a TRILLION times worse and it just

Wally: it just really sucks, you know?  

Blondie: I’m sorry, I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling

Wally: it’ll be better once this whole ordeal is over with, but for now?

Wally: ugh

Wally: ugh ugh UGH 

Blondie: Okay, that’s it, what are you doing after eighth period

Wally: idk

Wally: probably going home to watch anime and eat everything in the fridge. why?

How about this, whoever can count how many times the number 16 appears in this chapter first wins a prize, which is that I'll reply to your correct answer with a 7-sentence short story about Shia Labeouf and that duck who keeps asking for grapes. Go!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Wally: but that’s different

Megalicious: Different how?

Wally: it just is, okay? I mean she’s so...artemis

Megalicious: So you see me as a sister figure, but not Artemis

Wally: why does it matter? that doesn’t mean I like her

Megalicious: I never said you did

Rxy: Why can’t you just buy him a present and a cupcake and call it a day?

Rxy: He’s only seventeen, right? Not really that special, so take it easy.

Mxgxn: Are you kidding?

Megan: Yeah but you can’t just call a nine year old “a snottier Steve Buscemi” it’s not nice

Artemis: Please, that kid had it coming

Megan: Oy vey

Artemis: Ha joke’s on you, I don’t SPEAK Italian

 


 

Dick > Wallman

Thursday, March 21
19:16 EST

 

Dick: Hey, what do you say we pool our tickets and get matching fake tattoos on our faces?

Wallman: see, this is why we’re best friends

Notes:

By the way, in case anyone was wondering, (which you weren't), when I was writing the part where Dick and Zatanna did the "and they were roommates" bit, I couldn't help noticing that I spelled "roommates" with only one M on the first try. Which then prompted me to have an emotional and existential crisis at 11:00 at night because a couple weeks ago I committed my first ever act of rebellion, which was writing "And they were roommates" with a Sharpie on a wooden bench in the courtyard of my high school. That's right, I defaced school property. But guess who spelled "roommates" wrong.

ME. THAT IS WHO SPELLED IT WRONG. I DID.

MY ONE ACT OF TEENAGE REBELLION, AND I SPELLED IT WRONG. I DON'T SPELL THINGS WRONG. MY SECOND-GRADE TEACHER LET ME PICK MY OWN SPELLING WORDS BECAUSE I NEEDED MORE OF A CHALLENGE. MY MOM COMES TO ME WHEN SHE NEEDS HELP SPELLING SOMETHING.

AND I

SPELLED

ROOMMATES

 

WRONGGGGG

 

So that was a disturbing revelation.

Chapter 17: Could Be Gayer

Notes:

Sorry this chapter's pretty late; I read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell recently, and by that I mean I read the book twice in three days because I couldn't help myself whoops. On the bright side, I am now filled with even more gay energy.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Raquel: Honesty circle time, everyone!

Raquel: Time for the truth to come out once and for all  

Artemis: I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m getting so many red flags rn

Raquel: I have a very important question for you folks, and I want your full honesty on this

Dick: Is it about That Bitch Madison’s nose job? Because I hacked the hospital records and yes she did in fact base it off of Marilyn Manson’s schnozz

Wally: I KNEW IT

Raquel: That’s not what I’m talking about, but good to know

Raquel: Okay so here’s my question, and just know that if any of you lie then Zeus himself will strike you down with no remorse:

Raquel: *drumroll………….*

Raquel: WOULD YOU FUCK YOUR CLONE, YES OR NO

Zatanna: in a heartbeat

Megan: Never

Kaldur: No, because that would be like doing it with my twin which is nasty.

Dick: Yes because I want to know if I’m any good at it

Conner: absolutely not

Wally: no because I hate myself, therefore I would hate my clone too much to fuck him

Artemis: Depends on whether my clone is evil or not

Wally: I guarantee your clone would not be evil

Artemis: How’s that?

Wally: because knowing you, you’re ALREADY the evil version of yourself

Wally: your clone would be an angel compared to you

Artemis: That is the best compliment I’ve ever received  

Artemis: In that case, put me down as a solid “maybe”

Raquel: Roy?

Roy: Not even if you paid me.

Conner: now THAT one surprises me

Roy: ??

Roy: How???

Conner: i dunno, you seem sufficiently weird to me

Wally: hey roy, what if YOU were the clone? would you do it then?

Roy: Why would I be the clone?

Wally: Well I wasn’t there when you were born, so who’s to say you WEREN’T grown in an empty jelly jar and dumped out into society with an unknowing thirst for world domination

Roy: Still a hard no.

Zatanna: what if ur clone looked like beyonce

Roy: Then it wouldn’t be my clone anymore, would it.

Dick: Is that a yes?

Roy: No.

Raquel: Is that a maybe?

Roy: Still no.

Conner: what if we genetically modified your clone to look like kaldur

Roy: STOP TRYING TO PEER PRESSURE ME INTO FUCKING MY CLONE.

Artemis: Asdfgkhjlk WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING

Artemis: Hey Roy?

Roy: No.

Artemis: Roy

Roy: No.

Artemis: Royyyy

Artemis: Roy Roy Roy

Artemis: Hey Roy

Roy: What.

Zatanna has renamed the group: Hi Gay I’m Dad

Megan: Hahahahahahh

Dick: Poetic storytelling

Wally: son, I have something to tell you….

Zatanna: what is it dad?

Wally: son…

Wally: I got an A

Wally: BOR

Wally: TION

Wally: okay but really though, this was what my uncle said to me when I came out to him

Wally: I was all emotional and shit, and then this fucking guy did fingerguns and said “hi bi, I’m barry”

Wally: the fact that I didn’t see it coming when I came out again as trans is my own fault

Kaldur: Can your uncle please adopt me that way I can have a fun coming out story, please and thank you.

Artemis: *breakdancing gently* What’s wrong, son?

Kaldur: I still have not come out to my father yet, and truthfully I am not looking forward to it.

Raquel: Haven’t you and Roy been dating for over a month now?

Roy: Yep.

Dick: And you’ve been sneaking around all this time?

Kaldur: I tell him that I am tutoring Roy in geometry.

Artemis: But you don’t take geometry

Kaldur: He doesn’t know that.

Zatanna: lemme guess, he’s one of those super homophobic religious guys?

Kaldur: Actually, not really?

Kaldur: When my neighbor Lori came out as a lesbian he bought her rainbow shoelaces.

Artemis: Then that’s good, right? At least you know he’s okay with it

Kaldur: Yes, but it is different when it’s your son who is coming out. Plus we aren’t that close anyway, so it’s scary not knowing how he is going to react.

Dick: Dang, I’m sorry man

Dick: Are you planning on coming out to him at all, or are you gonna wait until you graduate?

Kaldur: I am not sure.

Kaldur: My mother and my stepfather already know and they support me, so I feel like I owe it to my father to let him in on it. He is actually coming over for Easter, and my mom wanted me to invite Roy as well. Maybe I will tell him then.

Megan: We support you!!!!

Megan: And if he’s a jerk about it no sweat, we’ll beat him up for you behind Denny’s

Artemis: Why does it feel like the more time you spend with us the more corrupted your mind gets

Megan: Say That To My Face B*tch

Zatanna: nvm she’s still too innocent to curse

Megan: F*ck you I’m a bad kid

Megan: I’ll have you know that one time I ate an After Eight mint at 7:59

Artemis: Mhm

Artemis: And how much did you cry when you realized you were a minute early

Megan: Only for five minutes!

Megan: I’m a cold-blooded criminal I tell ya (ง'̀-'́)ง

Artemis: Why, do you have something better to do?

Baywatch: bold of you to assume I know how to make plans

Artemis: Good answer

Artemis: Your turn

Baywatch: hmmmmm

Baywatch: when was the last time you laughed

Artemis: Last Tuesday

Baywatch: explain

Artemis: This new kid asked if the reason Mr. Palmer’s last name was Palmer was because he had sweaty hands. Fred Bugg I think it was

Baywatch: with two Gs?

Artemis: With two Gs

Artemis: If you were stranded on a deserted island with Dick and a chicken, who would you eat first

Baywatch: dick of course

Baywatch: he’d have the most protein

Artemis: But he’s so scrawny

Artemis: Your turn

Baywatch: actually...I think I’m gonna save mine

Artemis: You can’t do that

Baywatch: why not?

Artemis: Because that’s cheating

Baywatch: no it’s not

Artemis: Yes it is

Baywatch: no it’s not

Artemis: Yes it is

Artemis: What are you even saving it for?

Baywatch: dunno yet

Artemis: Come on, just ask me a question now and get it over with

Baywatch: nope. saving it

Artemis: You’re exhausting

Baywatch: thank you so much

Baywatch: hey if you’re still bored, wanna come over and play checkers? I have root beer and spongebob fruit snacks

Artemis: checkers and fruit snacks? You really know how to charm a girl, West

Baywatch: just for you arty ;)

Zatanna: new fun and sexy way to make people think ur weird: fill an empty mayo jar with vanilla pudding and eat it with a spoon

Conner: i was wondering why you were doing that, but i figured it was just another new trend i missed out on

Roy: What was the last one?

Conner: mozzarella friendship bracelets

Roy: I think you just hang out with weird people.

Artemis: Mayonnaise pudding? That’s it? You need to step up your game, Zee

Artemis: I replaced every stick in my friend Cam’s pack of gum with play-doh and he only realized it after the fourth one

Raquel: See this is why I’m smarter than all you guys

Raquel: I’ve locked myself in my basement with seven bags of gummy worms, enough caprisuns to last me the day, and my phone charger

Raquel: Try and prank me now, fools

Megan: Does your basement have a bathroom?

Raquel: No

Megan: Then what happens when you have to pee?

Raquel: I’ve got that covered

Conner: ?

Conner: how

Raquel: :)

Roy: Alrighty, new conversation topic!

Kaldur: But I want to know the pee solution.

Roy: A L R I G H T Y  N E W C O N V E R S A T I O N  T O P I C .

Roy: You guys see any other cool pranks so far?

Wally: my birth

Artemis: My life

Conner: kids could you lighten up a little?

Kaldur: One person in orchestra wrapped Zari’s torso in plastic wrap when she fell asleep under the piano.

Megan: What happened when she realized?

Kaldur: Oh I don’t know. She hasn’t woken up yet.

Zatanna: i didn’t know u were in orchestra

Kaldur: Yes, I play the violin.

Zatanna: can u play the devil went down to georgia?

Kaldur: I don’t think so.

Zatanna: then what’s the point?

Raquel: I’m in orchestra too and lemme tell you, Kaldur is GOOD

Raquel: He’s been playing so long, he doesn’t even get violin hickeys anymore

Roy: Yeah, ‘cause not everyone fucks their violin like you do.

Raquel: DOST THOU WANT TO GO, SIR?

Roy: COMETH AT ME, BRO.  

Wally: I can play the kazoo

Artemis: Best ever April Fools Day pranks GO

Baywatch: last year I put a life-sized cardboard cutout of luke perry in our bathroom and my aunt screamed so loud it cracked the mirror

Artemis: I convinced my mailman that it was actually March 32nd because it was a leap year

Baywatch: filled all the oreos in the cafeteria vending machine with toothpaste

Artemis: Told my boyfriend that my real dad was actually John Cena

Baywatch: ……..you have a boyfriend?

Artemis: Ex

Artemis: Ex-boyfriend

Baywatch: oh

Baywatch: good

Baywatch: wait no

Baywatch: I didn’t mean “good” as in “good,” I meant like “oh that’s cool that you don’t have a boyfriend because you're an independent woman who don’t need no man or person or anything” but like, not in a “you don’t deserve to date people way” I mean it in like a chill way becasue even if you were, like, dating someone that would be super duper okay with me

Baywatch: actually why am I saying that it’s not even my business

Baywatch: idk why i even thought about it, not that ive thought about it ive never thought about it ever i dont even think about thinking abpout it, it’s like you dating people hasnt even occured to me ever, not even right now i typed that withou teven thinking about it isnt that wild what a cool talent i have right hahaha

Artemis: Um

Baywatch: anyways who was your ex? not that I care or anything, you don’t even have to answer if you don’t want to that’s how little I care

Baywatch: but also who was it

Artemis: You know my friend Cameron Mahkent?

Baywatch: THAT was your boyfriend????

Baywatch: isn’t he on drugs?

Artemis: Probably

Artemis: We only dated for a couple months before we both got bored and decided to be friends instead

Baywatch: wow

Baywatch: didn’t see that coming

Artemis: That I could stay friends with an ex? You know plenty of people do that right

Baywatch: no, that someone could get bored with you

Baywatch: wait that wasn’t supposed to send SHIUT

Artemis: Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Baywatch: plEase, you wish

Baywatch: you’re just so hostile and annoying all the time, every conversation with you is an adventure

Artemis: Have you dated anyone before?

Baywatch: well, duh. I AM the wallman

Artemis: How could I forget  

Baywatch: but yeah, freshman year I dated this girl linda

Artemis: Did you now

Artemis: What was she like? Not that it matters

Baywatch: she was fun and really cool to hang out with, but she moved to new york during the summer so we had to break it off

Baywatch: we still talk sometimes, just as friends now

Artemis: Who else?

Baywatch: uhhhhh that was it

Artemis: No really, who else

Baywatch: no, really, there IS no one else

Artemis: Seriously?

Baywatch: yes?

Artemis: Oh

Baywatch: what?

Artemis: I don't know. I just figured there would have been more

Baywatch: awww why yes I am incredibly hot and charming thank you so much for noticing

Artemis: Don’t flatter yourself

Artemis: I just meant that you flirt around so much there must have been at least a dozen people you conned into taking pity on you

Baywatch: sadly no, linda is the lone lucky duck

Baywatch: and I don’t flirt THAT much

Artemis: You asked the guy at the McDonald’s drive thru yesterday what he was wearing

Baywatch: well excuse me for taking an interest in people’s attire?

Artemis: You practically drooled over Megan for months

Baywatch: okay well I never actually expected to get anywhere with megan in the first place so she doesn’t count

Artemis: What does that even mean

Baywatch: come on, everyone knew meg liked conner. and yeah she’s cute and makes good brownies, but I like being friends with her more now anyway

Artemis: Are those the qualifications then?

Baywatch: liking conner?

Artemis: No dipshit, being cute and baking diabetes squares like the witch from hansel and gretel

Artemis: You know, your “type” or whatever

Baywatch: that’s a weird question

Artemis: Fine then don’t answer it. I don’t care anyway  

Baywatch: hey now I never said I didn’t want to answer

Baywatch: because no, that’s not my type

Baywatch: which is part of the reason I knew things wouldn’t work out with me and megs no matter what I did

Artemis: Because she’s not your type

Baywatch: romantically? not really

Artemis: Then what IS your type?

Baywatch: I can’t tell you that

Artemis: Why not

Baywatch: because you’ll make fun of me for being cheesy

Artemis: What if I promise I won’t?

Baywatch: you gotta pinkie swear

Artemis: We’re on the phone

Baywatch: then how about you tell me your type too, that way we’re both sworn to secrecy

Artemis: I guess that’s fair

Artemis: Now let’s hear about that dream person

Baywatch: passionate

Artemis: Ew?

Baywatch: not like that, you perv

Baywatch: I meant about stuff in general. someone who gets excited about what they like and doesn’t try to tone it down for someone else’s approval. someone who doesn’t care what other people think about them

Artemis: That’s...specific

Baywatch: fine then I’ll stop

Artemis: I never said stop

Artemis: So you don’t want someone boring?  

Baywatch: would anyone?

Artemis: I didn’t ask about anyone, did I

Baywatch: they’ve also gotta be interesting

Artemis: Like having a secret collection of creepy doll heads under their bed?

Baywatch: like taking some time to understand. not being an open book

Baywatch: I don’t want to know everything about them just by looking at them

Artemis: Why not?

Baywatch: because good things can’t come easily

Artemis: So you want someone who’s difficult? That’s weird

Baywatch: I never said difficult

Artemis: Then what DID you say

Baywatch: I dunno, there’s just gotta be some tension there, y’know?

Artemis: Kinky

Baywatch: no it’s not

Artemis: Yes it really is

Baywatch: stop kinkshaming me

Artemis: Can’t help it. Kinkshaming you is my kink

Baywatch: alright, now it’s your turn

Artemis: No I changed my mind

Artemis: This game is weird

Baywatch: artemissssss come on

Baywatch: I told you my stuff

Baywatch: tell me about your dream hottie

Baywatch: I’ll bet they’re blonde

Artemis: Why blonde? I’M blonde

Baywatch: you tell me

Artemis: I’m actually into people with dark hair so choke

Baywatch: AHA

Baywatch: so you admit you have preferences

Artemis: Put a cork in it Watson

Baywatch: I’m sherlock and you know it

Baywatch: so...dark haired folks?

Artemis: Most of the time. Not always

Baywatch: what else?

Artemis: I don’t know

Artemis: I guess I want someone who's funny

Baywatch: but you never laugh unless someone is in pain 

Artemis: Hence why it’s an achievement when someone makes me laugh for real

Artemis: Bitch

Baywatch: I make you laugh all the time, you just don’t admit it

Artemis: You sure about that?

Baywatch: very

Artemis: Then I guess that would put you ahead on the list wouldn’t it

Baywatch: think I’d have to dye my hair first

Artemis: It’s a shame being a dorky hot mess isn’t on my list too

Baywatch: aww you called me hot ;)

Artemis: I also called you a mess

Baywatch: don’t forget dork. that’s an extra trait than you gave your dream person

Artemis: And what does that mean

Baywatch: you tell me

Artemis: You think that’s charming?

Baywatch: that depends, do you think it’s charming?

Artemis: I think…

Artemis: I’m late for a science lab

Artemis: See you at lunch

Baywatch: ...woah

Wally: what’s that supposed to mean

Ginger #2: It means you might want to start looking at what’s right in front of your face.

Kaldur: What are those? Are they floor tiles?

Conner: coasters actually

Conner: they arrived on my doorstep in a giant box a little while ago and it was horrifying

Conner: my dog fear-peed on the rug when he saw them

Megan: You have to admit, it takes a lot of skill to take a picture of someone mid-sneeze

Raquel: Tbh I didn’t even know Conner COULD sneeze

Conner: thank you

Conner: but yeah, who sent them

Conner: come forward prankster

Conner: theres 150 of these things and i dont know what to do with them

Raquel: Donate them to charity

Artemis: Do you honestly think anyone would take 150 coasters of a teenage weirdo sneezing? It’s the same thing as taking home a haunted puppet

Artemis: Cursed

Roy: My guess is it was Dick who sent them.

Wally: really? I would have thought it’d be kaldur

Kaldur: Why me?

Wally: because we already know dick is a chaos entity

Wally: you could be a secret psychopath

Kaldur: You know full well that I don’t send mail.

Megan: Why not?

Kaldur: I don’t trust mailmen to not turn their bones flaccid in order to slip through the mail slot and come after my family.

Zatanna: oh! okay. okay this is normal 

Artemis: Nah, my money’s on Dick too  

Artemis: Only he would waste that much time and resources on a prank

Artemis: Me? I’ve got a family to feed

Roy: You’ve got a dead worm you “rescued” from a puddle and refuse to get rid of.

Artemis: Like I said, I’ve got a family to feed

Artemis: Everyone knows Dick’s family is rich, so they only eat stuff like caviar and diamonds and probably oompa loompas

Roy: It’s true. I’m rich and I ate four oompa loompas this morning alone.

Artemis: Speaking of, has anyone seen the little guy today? He wasn’t in school

Zatanna: i tried calling him earlier to see if he wanted to hang out, but he wouldn’t answer

Raquel: That’s...weird?  

Conner: youd think dick would be a maniac today

Zatanna: yeah, the guy’s like Pranks R Us on a normal day

Wally: how DARE you speak of the dead like that

Wally: (I’ll never forget u…...toys r us kids…..)

Artemis: I brought a helmet to school because I knew he’d try to pull something, but he never did which is slightly disappointing because I drew a bunch of dicks on it for the occasion, and now all that hard work will have gone to waste

Zatanna: weird

Wally: I think he said he was gonna be in gotham today. his dad had a wayne enterprises thing and dick had to go with him. it was very last minute 

Kaldur: Oh, well that’s good. I was worried it was something more serious.

Roy: Yeah, nope. Just normal rich guy stuff. He’ll be in school tomorrow.

Conner: so does that mean he didnt send the coasters?

Raquel: Guess not, buddy

Megan: I mean, he could have sent them in advance so they’d arrive today because he knew he wouldn’t be here to prank you himself  

Conner: thats unnecessarily thorough, but okay

Conner: so…..anyone want a coaster? since now ive got a few extras

Wally: I’ll take 30

Kaldur: Sorry to bother you, but I just realized that on the receipt you gave me it charged an extra twelve dollars for something called “emotional and mental health cost”? May I ask what that is?

The Coaster Guy: Of course. You see, when we were packaging the coasters to be shipped, one of my workers took one look at the contents of the box and was so overwhelmed with fear that he had a stroke and is now in therapy.

Kaldur: Ah.

The Coaster Guy: Your friend has the body of a greek god, but the sneeze of a rabid gorilla.

La’gaan: so i dont understand why he got pissy about it

Cassie: Probably because that’s kind of a stereotype?

Cassie: It’s the same as saying that all blondes are dumb. Just because someone’s gay doesn’t mean they do every single thing stereotypically gay people do.

Dick: I take it back. Megs, you can be as southern as you want because stereotypes are Bad and we don’t prejudize here

Roy: That’s not a word.

Dick: Sure it is

Wally: I mean, that is true about the stereotyping and stuff, but I will say though that the reason my aunt and uncle had to move us to rhode island was because Some People had some Very Strong Opinions on who I am/how I choose to express myself and were Very Very Loud And Aggressive About It Even Though Literally No One Asked But Thanks For The Input Karen

Conner: i guess it all depends on who youre around

Conner: some people are just normal human beings, and some people are gross closed minded jerks and theres nothing you can do to avoid them completely

Conner: all that you can do is make sure you surround yourself with the former rather than the latter as much as possible, and remember that not all stereotypes apply to everyone so its important that you dont judge someone before you know their story

Artemis: Wow, that was...really deep, Conner

Raquel: All in favor of Roy and Kaldur being the cutest couple in our squad?

Roy: Aye.

Raquel: You can’t vote for yourself

Roy: Tyrant.

Dick: Aye

Zatanna: aye

Raquel: Aye

Raquel: Conner and Megan?

Dick: ……………

Zatanna: *crickets*

Megan: That’s no fair! Wally and Artemis aren’t here and I KNOW they’d be on our side

Roy: Where are those two, anyway?

Zatanna: hmmmm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dick: Can’t imagine what they could possibly be doing right now. Together. Alone ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Kaldur: Artemis said they are studying together at the diner.

Zatanna: “studying”

Kaldur: Also.

Kaldur: I am sorry to break it to you all, but Roy and I are actually not that romantic.

Roy: Shhh yes we are.

Kaldur: On our first date Roy asked me if I wanted to see something cool, and then he proceeded to burp the national anthem.

Roy: Yet you stayed with me anyway, so I must have done something right.

Kaldur: Yes, I will admit I was mildly impressed.

Roy: See? I’m a stud. Sink, line, and hooker.

Dick: Roy? I love you, but you’re an idiot

Raquel: Is that a true story??

Roy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Raquel: Wow

Raquel: I’m sorry, but men are gross and I’m ashamed to even be associated with you hooligans

Raquel: This is why I signed up for lesbianism

Artemis: Let’s say, hypothetically, that you died in a gruesome accident

Baywatch: good morning to you too?

Artemis: Sorry

Artemis: Hi

Baywatch: hi

Baywatch: so…...I’m dead?

Artemis: Yes

Baywatch: a tragic loss, but okay

Artemis: Your family and loved ones are setting up the funeral, and they’re going to the dead people store to order your headstone

Baywatch: “the dead people store”

Artemis: Hush

Baywatch: yes ma’am

Artemis: What would you want your headstone to say?

Baywatch: ate ass, sucked dick, and sold drugs

Artemis: That’s stupid

Baywatch: a woman at the corner of 8th and 31st smoking a cigarette that isn’t lit anymore would be very offended

Artemis: I’m serious. What would you want people to see every time they visited your grave at ye olde dusty, haunted cemetery?

Baywatch: you planning on killing me, crock?

Artemis: Just a healthy curiosity

Baywatch: okay, then I guess it would have to be something inspirational. you know, like “keep running” or “enjoy the good times when they come”

Baywatch: or that thing my uncle told me, something like “life is too short unless someone you love goes first”

Baywatch: I wanna make people think

Baywatch: that way everyone will spend way more time looking at my cool grave than all the other dead peoples’ and I’ll be super popular in the afterlife

Artemis: How humble of you

Baywatch: ikr

Baywatch: what about you?

Artemis: “I’ll be back.”

Baywatch: charming

Baywatch: come on, I gave you MY real answer

Artemis: So did I

Baywatch: did you?

Artemis: I just don’t want a boring grave

Baywatch: but what about the stuff that talks about who you were, all that cool shit

Artemis: Fine, then I guess below that it can say “Beloved daughter/friend/sister/partner/etc.”

Artemis: Happy?

Baywatch: well yeah, except that stuff’s kind of a given

Baywatch: I meant the special stuff

Artemis: It literally says beloved, how much more special can it get?

Baywatch: you know what I mean

Artemis: Nope, sorry. Sticking to my answer

Baywatch: why?

Artemis: Because I’d want people to think I was loved

Baywatch: *gasp* artemis crock, is that sentiment I hear? I never thought I’d see the day

Artemis: You shut your hecking mouth

Baywatch: but shouldn’t it be “know”? they won’t /think/ you were loved, they’ll know

Artemis: Same thing

Baywatch: is it though?

Artemis: Look, I haven’t seen my mom or sister in years, and my dad kinda hates me so

Artemis: Excuse me if I’m not really feeling the love

Baywatch: Yeah, but you’ve also got a family who loves you a ton from what I can tell

Artemis: Clearly you haven’t met my family

Baywatch: I wasn’t talking about that one

Artemis: Are you including yourself in that, then?

Baywatch: do you want me to?

Artemis: ...Haven’t decided yet

Baywatch: well let’s see

Baywatch: according to the super official wallman dictionary which is definitely a real thing, family is the people who:

Baywatch: 1) care about your wellbeing

Baywatch: 2) will send you stupid memes at 3am when you’re feeling sad

Baywatch: 3) have your back no matter what

Baywatch: and

Baywatch: 4) love you even when they hate you

Baywatch: so going by this, I dunno. I like to think I’d qualify

Artemis: Nice to know that you love me even though you also hate me

Baywatch: well it should be obvious by now that I hate you

Artemis: And the other part?

Baywatch: ...depends on how you look at it

Artemis: Explain

Baywatch: well, I love a lot of things. chemistry. sandwiches. lady gaga

Artemis: Then on a rate from sandwiches to gaga, where would I fall?

Baywatch: hmmmm

Baywatch: cake

Baywatch: you would be cake

Artemis: Because I’m sweet? 

Baywatch: because you’re artemis

Artemis: From what I’ve seen, you really like cake

Baywatch: yes I do

Artemis: Good to know

Wally: something weird’s been happening lately?

Dicktionary: Weird like what?

Wally: just a little while ago I was talking to artemis, and out of nowhere I started feeling all...weird and tingly?

Dicktionary: Yeahhhhh I don’t know if I’m qualified to give you this particular talk

Wally: not THAT kind of tingly

Wally: little perv

Wally: fuck how do I explain this

Wally: okay so like, when I’m around artemis, I feel kind of nauseated? but also filled with butterflies? but also like I just took a whole ton of cocaine

Wally: and when I’m talking to her, it feels as though we’re in a bubble or something

Wally: the whole rest of the world is a million miles away, and nothing exists except for her and me and it makes me want to stay that way forever and never come back to reality ever again

Wally: you know?

Dicktionary: Wow

Dicktionary: That’s...

Wally: is it a brain tumor?

Dicktionary: I’m no expert, but uh

Dicktionary: I think that’s what loves feels like, my friend

Wally: I’m sorry, that’s what what feels what

Artemis: For some reason, every time I talk to Wally lately my chest hurts and I feel sick and my heart pounds and my face gets red and I can’t think straight?

Artemis: What a bitch I hate him

Zee: wow, and u guys say i'm the clueless one

Notes:

Fun fact, during the part when it mentions Lady Gaga, when I typed that I thought, "Man I love Gaga, I should listen to Born This Way next that song's great" and the very second I thought that, the music playing on my phone, (which was set to shuffle), started to play Born This Way.

So I'm not saying I have superpowers, but I have superpowers.

Raquel: What do you think rosin tastes like?

Conner: whats rosin

Raquel: It’s the stuff you put on your bow

Artemis: Like a bow and arrows?

Artemis: Because I’ve never heard of that

Megan: I think she means a bowtie

Raquel: No I mean the kind that makes music

Artemis: You can make music with a bow and arrows? Wack

Raquel: You fucking goldfishes oh my GOD

Raquel: [image sent]

Conner: ohhhh that kind of bow

Conner: what about it?

Raquel: Rosin. The hard, sticky, tree-sappy stuff you put on the bow so it doesn’t screech like a rooster when you draw it across the string

Raquel: What do y’all think it tastes like

Megan: I think it would be like maple syrup

Artemis: How would you know? You don’t play an instrument

Megan: She wouldn’t ask if she didn’t want to hear an answer

Artemis: Yes she would, I do it all the time

Artemis: Speaking of which, what time is it?

Megan: Hang on let me check

Artemis Crock has left the chat.

Megan: I wish I could say I didn’t see that coming

Kaldur: I am just going to chime in here and tell you that rosin definitely does not taste like maple syrup.

Kaldur: But I won’t tell you how I know that.

Conner: um

Raquel: *concerned silence*

Kaldur: And despite what you might think, cork grease is not the same as chapstick.

Raquel: *concerned silence intensifies*

Wally: but at the last second you panic and don’t go through with it because it turns out you’re just a big coward, so now there’s nothing left for you to do but stress-eat chocolate bunnies in your room?

Dicktionary: Not really, no

Wally: I'm going to bury myself alive under the arc de triomphe

Conner: i volunteer as tribute to defend you in battle kaldur

Kaldur: No no, actually it...went well?

Kaldur: Very well, in fact.

Megan: What happened?

Kaldur: Well we were all having brunch, and eventually I mustered the bravery to just come out and say it.

Roy: Bart would have been proud, you guys.

Roy: Kal said super loudly, right in the middle of the conversation, “Guess what, Roy is actually my boyfriend and also I was the one who broke your TV last year. Happy Easter.”

Megan: …...Kaldur

Kaldur: I figured why not get it all out at once?

Wally: kallie you’re iconic

Dick: Then what happened?

Kaldur: My dad said okay, and then he went back to eating his hashbrowns. And...that was it.

Wally: luckyyyyy

Wally: my dad punched me in the face, so like. kudos

Kaldur: Afterwards I asked him if he was really okay with me being bi, and he said that no matter what, I was his son and he loved me. So that was a pleasant surprise.

Artemis: Awww. I’m really happy for you, Kal

Kaldur: So am I. There’s a weight off my shoulders now and that’s pretty darn wild.

Dopey: thank you

Dopey: but seriously. wally and artemis. the shenanigans needs to stop

Happy: Elaborate

Dopey: i invited them both over today to hang out, but they were just? so awkward?

Dopey: wally called artemis pretty at one point without meaning to, so he said “pretty UGLY haha thats totally what i meant” and part of my soul died

Dopey: but then when we were watching tv, they were sitting really close together on the couch? like...REALLY close together. and i dont think they even realized they were doing it

Dopey: i guess artemis noticed eventually because she got up really fast and said she had to go home to feed her dog and left

Dopey: and im like...90% sure she doesnt have a dog

Dopey: listen theyre in so deep and they dont even know it

Sleepy: I think it’s cute

Sleepy: They’re like school kids with crushes

Sleepy: But yes, I agree that they need to get over themselves and bang already

Dopey: i was thinking they should just go on a date, but okay

Sneezy: Don’t worry my beautiful dwarves, I got this

Dick: I should probably be offended, but that was a long-winded compliment in disguise so thanks

Dick: And noted

Barbara: What are we going to be doing for the next four days, exactly?

Barbara: Aside from sitting in that one chair at that one place Adam Sandler sat in that one time

Dick: Anything that you want tbh

Dick: Except for the movies, of course

Dick: I’ve got morons in need and we can’t afford to ruin this for them

Barbara: ?

Barbara: Uh huh

Barbara: Let me guess. Wally and Artemis?

Barbara: What did you do to them

Dick: You’ll find out soon enough, curious monkey. The plan is being set in motion as we speak

Barbara: You do realize that if I were literally anyone else I would be absolutely terrified of you, right?

Dick: And that’s exactly why we’re perfect together

Barbara: Down, boy

Barbara: Wally is a bad influence on you I think

Dick: Bold of you to assume I’m not the one who’s been influencing him all along

Dick: The man once used the word “aster” on an english essay, and then argued with the teacher when he told him that it wasn’t a real word

Wally: that was hella crazy today right? dick bailing on us I mean

Blondie: Yeah, didn’t see that coming

Wally: I mean, what did he expect us to do? just go together?

Blondie: I know right? Like, why would we ever do that

Blondie: It would be totally weird

Wally: TOTALLY weird

Blondie: SUPER weird

Wally: INCREDIBLY weird

Blondie: Well

Wally: well?

Blondie: Maybe it’s not that weird

Wally: yeah no, of course not

Wally: just a smidge weird

Blondie: Yeah. Tiny bit

Wally: because it’s not like we’ve NEVER hung out one-on-one before

Blondie: Exactly. It’s just that we both know that going to a dark movie theater and sitting right next to each other for three hours straight...you know

Wally: yeah, definitely

Wally: super weird

Blondie: SUPER weird

Blondie: And even if we did want to go—which we don’t because it would be weird—I’m sure the line would be a mile long

Wally: and the popcorn would be outrageously overpriced

Blondie: And it would be really crowded

Wally: boy am I glad we’re not doing any of that, we’re the real winners here

Blondie: Definitely

Wally: definitely

Bondie: DEFINITELY

Wally: well, unless

Blondie: Unless?

Wally: I mean. the tickets ARE already paid for,,,

Blondie: That's true

Blondie: And I suppose it would be wasteful of us not to use them

Wally: not to mention that it would be rude since dick went out of his way to buy them for us and all

Blondie: Not going would definitely compromise our souls

Wally: and we’re pretty good people I think

Blondie: Best way to keep that status would be to

Wally: go to the movie together

Blondie: As completely normal friends

Wally: just two friends going to the movies

Blondie: Totally chill

Wally: yeah

Artemis: Yeah

Wally: yeahh

Blondie: I’ll pick you up at 8:30 then ...pal

Wally: sure thing ...buddy

Blondie: No problem at all...bro

Grumpy: Apparently they’re “studying for finals.”

Grumpy: I had no idea studying meant bringing all their shit to my place and sitting on the floor with Artemis' legs in his lap while they listen to the Bill Nye theme song on repeat and Wally draws flowers on her ankle with a highlighter.

Bashful: That’s one way to do romance I suppose.

Grumpy: No, see according to the gross dorks themselves, they’re just “hanging out.”

Doc: i’m sorry, but this is the least platonic thing i have seen in my entire life

Grumpy: Right???

Dopey: these poor idiots, theyre dating and dont even know it

Bashful: I’m sure they will figure it out eventually.

Doc: mmmmmm i don’t know

Doc: these are the same dorks who took like 7 months to figure out that they like each other

Doc: at this rate, they won’t get married until they’re 60 bc they’re gonna assume the other just proposed to them as a friend

Megan: And you’ve been binging on marshmallows peeps since lunch

Megan: It just seems like something might be bothering you

Conner <3: its nothing you need to worry about

Megan: But it is something, right?

Megan: You don’t have to tell me if you really don’t want to, but if you do, I just want you to know that I’m willing to listen

Conner <3: its not even that big of a deal

Conner <3: just somebody in my math class

Megan: Did they say something to you? Who was it?

Conner <3: nobody important

Conner <3: and he didnt even really do anything, he was just asking about the pride pin on my jacket

Megan: ...

Megan: Tell me who it was.

Conner <3: megs no, it wasnt a homophobe or anything dont worry

Conner <3: he was just curious i think

Conner <3: he asked why i had it so i told him i was in gsa, then he asked if i was gay and when i said i was actually ace he wanted to know what that meant

Conner <3: and when i explained it to him, he laughed and said that being asexual wasnt a real thing

Megan: Oh honey…

Conner <3: like i said its nothing

Megan: It doesn’t sound like nothing

Megan: Do you want to talk about it?

Conner <3: theres nothing to talk about. it was just one asshole. so its fine

Megan: If it helps, I know it’s real. You know it’s real. Plenty of other people know it’s real and they all support you

Conner <3: yeah i know

Conner <3: it just pisses me off sometimes

Conner <3: and i know it could be way worse so i should count myself lucky, but its hard to be proud of something when everyone just tells me its stupid or imaginary or me trying to be special

Megan: They’re just ignorant. Only you can be the judge of how you feel, and if you feel asexual then Guess What Buddy

Megan: You’re asexual and that’s perfectly okay

Conner <3: is it really though?

Conner <3: i mean, were dating

Conner <3: you of all people should have the right to have a problem with the way i am

Megan: Why should I? As far as I’m concerned, you’re perfect the way you are and you can take that to the fucking bank, mister

Conner <3: i wouldnt blame you though

Conner <3: if you did have a problem with it, or if it made you get bored with me after awhile

Conner <3: anyone else would be disappointed, so...ill understand if this is a dealbreaker down the line

Megan: Conner Kent. Stop talking like that, okay? You should know me well enough by now to know that I couldn't care less about that stuff. I love YOU, and I wouldn’t change a single detail about you ever

Megan: So deal with it homeboy, you’re stuck with me

Conner <3: i think that would have been a lot more tender if you hadnt called me homeboy

Conner <3: but thanks. this...really helped

Megan: Good

Megan: Now set up the blanket fort, I’m coming over and we’re having a marshmallow peep party just the two of us because fuck other people

Conner 4: In our defense, you constructed a fake group chat and locked us freshmen away so we wouldn’t invade your space

Conner 4: I say we overthrow the clergy and take this land for our own

Conner 2: this is a hostile takeover folks

Conner 3: from this moment on, the youngest of us shall take charge and condemn all who question our rule

Artemis: ...

Artemis: Kaldur exterminate them

Conner 3: NO PLEASE I HAVE THREE KIDS

Kaldur has removed Conner 3 from the conversation.

Conner 4: WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED

Kaldur has removed Conner 4 from the conversation.

Dick: Any last words?

Conner 2: hmmmm

Conner 2: moist

Megan: Good choice  

Conner 2: Now let me die

Kaldur: As you wish.

Conner 2: ah hh, the sweet embrace of death..

Kaldur has removed Conner 2 from the conversation.

Wally: kid’s got issues

Dick: Yeah we’re still working on that

(Also my best friend Julie came up with the idea for that last part with Tim, Bart, and Cassie and she’s a genius and I love her so credit where credit is due)

Chapter 23: Fear of Falling Apart

Notes:

Super cheesy and cliche Panic! at the Disco-inspired chapter title? In MY usually lighthearted fic?

You're damn right it is.

Tim: No

Cassie: Yes

Jaime: See because I picked flowers for my mom, but now I feel bad for killing them and idk if I should hold a funeral or not.

Bart: ooh i wanna go to a flower funeral

Steph: ya know, apparently when the air smells good after you mow the lawn that’s because the grass sends out pheromones to the other grass nearby to warn them that they’re getting murdered and they should save themselves even though it’s futile and they’re already doomed

Bart: D^:

Cassie: Well that’s dark

Jaime: Oh my god...

Jaime: I have to leave.

Cassie: Where are you going?

Bashful: Has Wally said anything to you, Dick?

Sneezy: Sorry, I’ve got nothing guys

Sleepy: But I thought you two had a brain connection or something

Sneezy: I know, I’m also shocked

Sneezy: But he keeps saying he doesn’t want to get into it

Happy: I hate it when my friends fight :(

Happy: What can we do?

Grumpy: I don’t think there’s anything we can do.

Grumpy: Have you seen them? All week they’ve both been icy as hell. I caught Artemis shooting arrows at a target with Wally’s face on it yesterday.

Sleepy: Y i k e s

Megan: All right spill

Megan: What in the world happened between you and Artemis??

Wally: nothing, it’s fine

Megan: Wally

Megan: You haven’t spoken to each other in days and you’re miserable every time I see you

Megan: What went wrong? I thought things were going so well between you guys

Wally: they are

Wally: were

Wally: it’s complicated

Megan: Then explain it to me

Megan: A week ago you were head over heels for each other, and now it’s as if you’re right back where you started

Wally: it was nothing

Wally: just a stupid fight

Megan: No offense, but don’t you two always fight? I thought that was, like, your thing

Wally: yeah well. shit happens

Megan: What was the fight about?

Wally: doesn’t matter

Wally: like you said, we always argue. we’re used to it by now

Wally: it’s just...things got out of hand this time, and we said some things we shouldn’t have

Wally: I said things I shouldn’t have

Wally: I mean she did too of course, but…

Wally: I don’t know

Megan: Then apologize and make up? I don’t see what the problem is

Wally: you kidding? no way

Wally: I already screwed things up enough. I’m not going to go and make it worse for no reason

Megan: But you like her, right?

Wally: so?

Megan: Everyone makes mistakes

Megan: Everyone has those days

Wally: don’t make me block you

Megan: Sorry I couldn’t help myself

Megan: But for real though, if you just say sorry for whatever went down and talk to each other like adults you can work on making things better

Wally: why should I? there’s no point

Megan: What is that supposed to mean?

Wally: I mean everyone knew this wouldn’t work out anyway, right? it’s easier to let this be the end of it and move on

Megan: Hang on, wait a second now

Megan: What are you talking about? No one thinks that

Megan: And you’ve been crushing on Artemis for MONTHS. What changed?

Wally: nothing’s changed

Megan: Clearly something has. I thought you wanted this

Megan: You want to be with Artemis, right?

Wally: yeah, I still want that

Megan: Then why are you suddenly giving up?

Wally: what, you think I WANT artemis to hate me?

Megan: I know you don’t

Wally: yeah well, sometimes things don’t work out. that’s just life

Megan: Bullshit

Wally: excuse me?

Megan: That’s complete bullshit and you know it. Things aren’t just “not working out” on their own

Megan: You’re giving up

Wally: so what if I am?

Megan: I know you’re afraid of taking a chance with Artemis, but you can’t keep sabotaging yourself every time you worry you’re going to mess up

Wally: I’m not sabotaging myself

Megan: -_-

Wally: not….intentionally…..

Megan: Just find her and apologize. It’s not that hard

Wally: uh yes it is?

Megan: How?

Wally: come on, it’s artemis

Wally: she’s perfect and tough and confident and everything I don’t deserve

Wally: and I’m me

Wally: she’s going to get sick of freckly, nerdy, anxious me, and it’s gonna suck when that happens

Wally: but if it ends now before it can officially start, it’s easier

Wally: like a band-aid

Megan: Wally, no

Wally: look, I’ve got homework to do. and honestly I don’t want to talk about this anymore

Megan: Wally—

Wally: I’ll talk to you later

Wally West is now offline.

Wallman: nothing, it’s fine

Dick: Dude, you’ve been acting like a zombie lately

Dick: I can see that this is killing you

Dick: Just talk to me and we’ll figure this thing out together

Wallman: god why is everyone so fucking hung up on this?

Wallman: artemis and I weren’t even DATING

Wallman: people get into fights. shit happens. sometimes things don’t fucking work out and it’s just easier to get out of it sooner rather than later

Dick: Is it really easier? Because as far as I can tell, you’ve been doing nothing but moping around and feeling sorry for yourself

Dick: Why can’t you just talk to her?

Wallman: oh yeah, and what am I going to say?

Wallman: “sorry I fucked up and was a gigantic asshole, I swear I didn’t mean it even though it’ll probably happen again because I’m an idiot and you’ll figure it out soon enough that I’m actually not worth your time because I’m a worthless piece of shit so we should probably end this now before someone gets hurt”?

Dick: You know that’s not true

Wallman: oh really? it happened already didn’t it?

Wallman: megan was right. I ruin every good thing I have going for me

Wallman: artemis hates me. my dad hated me. all of my friends think I’m a joke

Dick: Nobody thinks you’re a joke

Wallman: sure they don’t

Wallman: I’m panicking so hard over the possibility of dating the girl I like and probably love that I went and sabotaged myself and broke her heart while I was at it, like a moron

Wallman: if that’s not a joke then I don’t know what is

Dick: You made a mistake. It happens

 


 

Zatanna > Arty

Tuesday, May 21
20:56 EST

 

Zatanna: he made a mistake. it happens

Zatanna: what’s important is that it can be fixed

Arty: Maybe this a good thing, though

Zatanna: what do u mean?

Arty: I mean, it’s not like things were going to work out between us anyway

Zatanna: shut up, u don’t know that

Arty: Zee

Arty: I can’t tell the guy I’ve been crushing on for months that I like him

Arty: It took me YEARS of being friends with you just to get as close as we are now because I have no fucking idea how to trust that people aren’t going to walk out the second I get too comfortable

Arty: Fucking Cameron and I broke up because I didn’t know how to be a normal person and date another human being without keeping them at arm’s length

Arty: And you think Wally and I have a chance of working out?

Zatanna: yes i do

Arty: Well we don’t

Arty: If anything, I’m doing him a favor

 


 

Dick > Wallman

Tuesday, May 21
21:03 EST

 

Wallman: I’m doing her a favor

Wallman: if she had to dump me later on she would feel guilty about it

Wallman: this is easier on both of us

Dick: You realize you’re sounding crazy, right?

Dick: It was a stupid argument

Dick: You and I have stupid arguments all the time and it’s never changed anything

Wallman: yeah but that’s different

Wallman: she’s different

Dick: So you’re just—what—never going to try and make up? Ever?

Wallman: why should I?

Dick: Because you both fucking care about each other?

Dick: And because you keep saying you don’t want to be an asshole, yet here you are, trying to explain to me that you would rather be enemies than take a risk on someone who likes you just as much as you like her

Wallman: even if I did try to apologize, she’d never forgive me

 


 

Zatanna > Arty

Tuesday, May 21
21:11 EST

 

Arty: If he just apologized, he knows I would forgive him

Arty: But why should he?

Arty: I started the argument in the first place. It’s not his fault he finished it, and it’s not his fault that it’s better this way anyway

Arty: At least if it’s on my own terms, it won’t be as bad as it would have been if I’d let myself get too attached

Zatanna: so ur big plan is to ignore him forever?

Arty: He’s going to be relieved, trust me

Arty: He’s dodging a bullet

Zatanna: i doubt he sees it that way

Arty: It doesn’t matter how he sees it

Arty: He’s going to find someone else in no time anyway

Wallman: she’s going to find someone else in no time anyway

Wallman: someone better

Dick: And even so, would you be happy with that?

Wallman: it doesn’t matter if I’m happy

 


 

Zatanna > Arty

Tuesday, May 21
21:10 EST

 

Arty: What matters is that he’s happy

Zatanna: no, u mean what matters is that u won’t be

Arty: What’s that supposed to mean?

Zatanna: it means u won’t admit that ur scared to be happy

Blondie: Probably, but I don’t think you own a boombox

Wally: you got me there

Wally: I am sorry though

Wally: for everything

Blondie: Yeah

Blondie: Me too

Wally: I’d say something cheesy like “let’s never fight again,” but I think we would just be kidding ourselves with that one huh

Blondie: Probably, yeah

Blondie: But it’s okay

Blondie: It’s our thing

Wally: hell yeah it is

Wally: so...friends again?

Blondie: Do you want to be friends again?

Wally: I did just send you apology memes didn’t I

Baywatch: oh, uh

Baywatch: hi

Baywatch: sorry

Artemis: What’s up?

Baywatch: I kind of have something to ask you

Artemis: Wow, uh

Artemis: So do I, actually

Baywatch: you do?

Baywatch: what’s your question?

Artemis: You can go first

Baywatch: no no, you go first

Artemis: Mine’s not important, it’s just something about prom

Baywatch: so is mine

Artemis: Is it...the same as my question?

Baywatch: I don’t know, is it?

Artemis: Look, just ask me yours and then we’ll KNOW if we’re both asking the same thing

Baywatch: yeah, but what if we’re both wrong and we just walked into a really awkward conversation

Artemis: Pretty sure that’s not the case

Baywatch: you don’t know that

Artemis: What other question would I POSSIBLY have to ask you other than do you want to go to prom with me

Baywatch: AHA!

Artemis: Fuck wait—

Baywatch: you want to go to prom with me!!

Artemis: Shut up no I don’t

Baywatch: that’s so sweet of you arty, I’m flattered <3

Artemis: I’m guessing this means we were both thinking the same thing?

Baywatch: perhaps...

Artemis: You can’t not say it now, fucking coward

Baywatch: well see, I don’t have to ask anymore do I? you already did it

Artemis: No I didn’t, you were just being difficult

Baywatch: call it what you want. all I know is that you want to go to prom with me so I’m happy

Artemis: No? If anything, YOU’RE the one going to prom with ME

Baywatch: what’s the difference?

Artemis: There’s a big difference

Artemis: I’m the one doing the asking, therefore it’s me who’s inviting you

Baywatch: pretty sure it doesn’t work like that

Artemis: Yes it does

Baywatch: but I wanted to ask you to go with me

Artemis: Too late, I’m going to ask you for real and then you’ll have to go with me so HA

Baywatch: not if I ask you first

Artemis: Doesn’t matter, I’ll say no and then you’ll HAVE to accept my invitation

Baywatch: fine, then I’m saying no too

Artemis: You can’t do that

Baywatch: yes I can

Artemis: But then neither of us will be going so it’s kinda counterproductive

Baywatch: maybe you should accept my invite then

Artemis: Or maybe YOU should accept MY invite

Baywatch: sorry, not gonna happen

Baywatch: I wanna take you to prom

Artemis: But I wanna take YOU to prom, you literal thorn in my side

Baywatch: fine, then how about we just take each other to prom and call it a day

Artemis: That’s stupid

Baywatch: do you want to go or not?

Artemis: Duh

Baywatch: BOOM you just accepted, no takebacks

Artemis: That doesn’t count and you know it

Baywatch: it does in the eyes of the law

Artemis: But I get to ask you too, asshole

Baywatch: then ask me

Artemis: Fine

Baywatch:

Baywatch: you still there?

Artemis: SHUT UP I’M WORKIGN UP TO IT

Artemis: Wally.

Artemis: Will you go to prom with me?

Baywatch: hmmmmm

Baywatch: sorry, I think I’m busy that day

Baywatch: gonna be preoccupied with taking you to the prom

Baywatch: thanks for asking me, though :)

Artemis: WALLY

Baywatch: okay okay

Baywatch: yes, I’ll go to prom with you

Artemis: Good

Artemis: I swear to god it’s like you WANT to drive me crazy

Baywatch: come on, you like it

Artemis: Don’t push your luck, Raggedy-Ann

Baywatch: wow

Dick: I mean like yeah it’s true, but you shouldn’t say it

Wally: sdfghjklkjhgfd

Dick: Plus I did him a favor

Dick: All al Ghul drinks is black coffee, which is Yucky

Dick: Whereas gushers are a delicious snacc and he should be grateful

Kaldur: What does this have to do with you being in a closet?

Dick: Oh yeah

Dick: He figured out pretty quick that it was me who poisoned him, so he sent security after me

Dick: Now I’m hiding in the janitor’s closet with my two new best friends Moppy and Half-Used Toilet Paper Roll

Conner: we have strange friends

Conner: alright alright, how about we both describe our ideal prom afterparty, and then we can try to find an idea thats sort of in the middle

Megan: Good idea

Megan: Personally, I want to be outside

Megan: And I don’t want to be all hot and sweaty, so I’m up for any place that’s by water

Megan: And it’s gotta be cute and romantic because I’m a slut for that

Megan: What about you?

Conner: well im very up for it being outside

Conner: also if wolf could come that would be pretty fucking neat

Megan: So it has to be somewhere that’s outdoors, swimmable, naturally romantic, and accepting of the occasional wild animal

Megan: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Conner: yup

Megan: ROMANTIC WALK ON THE BEACH!!!!

Conner: SWAMP ADVENTURE!!!!!

Raquel: I MEANT ON MY PORTFOLIO INTRO YOU FUCKIN SCHMUCKS

Roy: Oh.

Roy: Our bad.

Zatanna: portfolio for what?

Raquel: I’m applying for this super prestigious early-acceptance writing program at Ivy University, and I need to construct a portfolio to send to the people there

Raquel: I need y’all’s opinions on my intro

Dick: I’m all ears

Raquel: Okay, here’s what I have so far:

Raquel: “Howdy folks, and welcome to my gosh-diddly-darn junior portfolio extravaganza. Every work in this folder is trademarked by Satan, so use caution. I implore you to read further and examine what makes me a writer. Please pick apart every single line and clause, telling me what I did wrong until I cry tears of agony. Yes. Dedication. A good fraction of my pieces are gay and well-written, so if that doesn’t tell you this portfolio is an absolute Snacc, I don’t know what will.”

Dick: I love it

Zatanna: i want that intro tattooed on my forehead

Roy: Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique—

Raquel: Idk man, I still think I can do better

Raquel: Okay how about this one:

Raquel: “Welcome goblins, skeletons, and undead pals. Come forth and take a gander at my writing portfolio, filled to the tippy top with pages upon pages encasing the inner workings of my mind. Every time someone reads a work of mine and cries hopeless tears, a soldier dies. We’ve got bad poetry, teenage angst, and cat food galore, so if that’s your kink then step into my office and prepare to earn your happiness here.”

Dick: Raq I would die for you

Zatanna: i am crying actual tears right now holy shit

Raquel: Thanks, I think I’m gonna call the portfolio The Diary Of A Useless Gay Hoe

I am looking at you, Wally.

Kaldur: What are you doing for the rest of the day?

Megan: Uh. School?

Kaldur: Well I have a proposal.

Kaldur: Let’s skip the rest of the school day and go somewhere.

Megan: !!!

Megan: You want us to ditch class??

Kaldur: Yes.

Megan: But we’re the good ones! I’ve never even jaywalked before

Kaldur: Exactly.

Kaldur: Today is senior skip day. Roy is skipping school, but I chickened out because I did not want to get in trouble.

Kaldur: However, I think it is about time you and I lived on the edge. We need to do something rebellious.

Megan: Aren’t you the one who said yesterday that ditching class was for low-lifes?

Kaldur: That was yesterday Kaldur. Today Kaldur is a far different man and he craves danger

Megan: Oh my gosh, you didn’t even use punctuation at the end of that sentence. It’s like I don’t even KNOW you anymore

Kaldur: Let’s go to the junkyard because my mother always warned me not to go there, so it is the perfect place to engage in bad behavior.  

Megan: Can I ask my uncle for permission first?

Kaldur: NO, WE ARE BEING REBELS MEGAN.

Megan: :’(

Kaldur: ……….Fine, you can ask your uncle.

Megan: Yay!

Megan: We should bring helmets too, just in case.

Kaldur: Well of course, that is just basic safety knowledge. I am also bringing knee pads and elbow pads just in case.

Megan: Smart

Megan: I’ll search the junkyard up on Google Maps that way there’s no chance of us getting lost on the way there

Kaldur: We are also stopping at the store for chocolate milks because it is good to be mindful of dehydration.

Megan: Good idea, captain.

Megan: We’re such bad kids

Kaldur: The WORST kids.

Megan: Yeah!

Kaldur: Yeah!!!

Megan: YEAH!!!

Kaldur: Y E A H !!!!!

Cassie: You know what I just realized?

La’gaan: that the reason olive oil was so popular in greece was because they were all super gay????

Cassie: No?

Cassie: Though that is actually fascinating and I applaud those queer Greeks

Cassie: I just realized that when all of the upperclassmen graduate, WE will be in charge of the GSA

Bart: aren’t there a bunch of them who will still be here next year?

Cassie: Well yeah, but they can’t stay forever

Cassie: One day,

Cassie: In the very near-ish future,

Cassie: We shall rise up and become the gay overlords that club deserves

Steph: our reign shall be legendary

Cassie: First order of action: more glitter

Cassie: There was not nearly enough this year

Jaime: Also matching t-shirts. Preferably rainbow ones with Elton John’s face on them.

Steph: and a club handshake that involves doing the chicken dance extremely slowly while making eye contact

Bart: not to mention cupcakes

Bart: lots and lots of cupcakes

Traci: I propose we do volunteer work that involves building an amusement park

Traci: Which we will be the first ones to use of course, and have year-round free passes for since we were so generous building it

Kaldur > Roy

Friday, June 14

Kaldur: We have not discussed your college plans, you know.

Roy: We haven’t? I could have sworn we’ve talked about this before.

Kaldur: A month ago you said, “Star University has an archery range. That’s pretty fucking cool,” and then you never spoke of it again.

Roy: Oh yeah.

Roy: Well...the archery range there is pretty fucking cool.

Kaldur: Are you planning on attending in the fall?

Roy: I mean. I’ve been thinking about it, I’ll tell you that.

Kaldur: Oh.

Roy: Oh what?

Kaldur: Nothing.

Kaldur: It’s just...Star University is all the way across the country. A flight there alone would be five hours. Nine times that long if you were driving.

Roy: Well sure, but don’t you worry your little tush Kaldur, because I have a plan.

Kaldur: A plan?

Roy: Queen Consolidated has its HQ in Star City, which means Oliver is there practically every other week. I figure if I complain enough, I can get him to let me tag along on his flights back, that way I can come here every few weekends to see you.

Kaldur: Wait, you mean you’re not planning on breaking up with me?

Roy: No?

Roy: Why, are you planning on breaking up with me?

Kaldur: No.

Roy: Then I guess you have your answer. Sorry, looks like I’m sticking to ya like glue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kaldur: So this isn’t goodbye.

Roy: Well duh, of course it isn’t. What, you think I would ever give up the only person in the world who’s willing to watch all seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars with me?

Roy: Sorry to break it to you Kaldur, but people like you don’t come around every day.

Roy: And yes, I am fully aware of how soft and mushy that was.

Kaldur: I really love you, you know that?

Roy: Right back at you. ;)

Artemis: Shoot

Megan: We’re all going to stay friends over the summer, right?

Dick: Well yeah, of course we are. Why wouldn’t we?

Megan: I don’t know

Megan: This chat was originally just supposed to be a place for Kaldur to bore us all with GSA-related stuff

Kaldur: I resent that.

Megan: And gay club was the thing that was holding us together this whole time

Megan: I wasn’t sure if we would all keep in touch even though there’s no school until September

Zatanna: well duh, who else am i going to send zesty memes to every day?

Raquel: We’re your friends, Megan

Raquel: That’s not going to change just because we’re not forced to attend the same classes anymore

Wally: yeah, and it’s not like gsa was the only thing that kept us together

Wally: I mean sure that’s how it started, but it’s not like we’re going to drop you just because we don’t gather for weekly meetings anymore

Wally: like raquel said, we’re friends. and we’ll stay friends no matter what

Conner: its like the breakfast club. just because detention ends doesnt mean the friendships do

Roy: Actually I think they all part ways forever at the end of that movie.

Conner: im

Conner: im sorry what

Megan: D:

Dick: Godammit Roy

Roy: I mean.

Roy: Yeah, they totally all stay friends forever at the end!

Wally: smooth

Artemis: To fix what Roy so un-gracefully tried to say, we’re all staying friends because fuck the universe. I like you guys and that’s not changing anytime soon

Kaldur: Exactly. It doesn’t matter if the school year ends or not. Nothing has to change if we don’t want it to.

Megan: That’s a relief

Megan: I love all of you a lot, and I wouldn’t want that to ever change

Zatanna: aww <3

Dick: Sorry to join in on the emotions-fest, but honestly? I love you guys too

Dick: So I don’t plan to lose any of you without a fight

Dick: If that means breaking into your homes in the middle of the night and tying you up in a burlap sack after which you will then be taken to a secondary location where I will have already set up a game of Mega Battleship, then so be it

Megan: Somehow that is the most reassuring thing you’ve ever said to me

Megan: Sorry for getting so sappy, I’ve just never had real friends like this before

Megan: It’s really nice

Zatanna: roy is crying now in case anyone was interested

Roy: NO I’M N OT.

Raquel: Awwwww Roy, don’t tell me you actually have feelings?

Roy: NO I DONT. THERES JUST S OME DIRT IN MY EY ES.

Dick: I’m crying too now tbh, fuck you guys you made me all emotional

Artemis: THIS IS ALL YUOR FAULT MEGAN YOU GAVE US FEELINSG

Megan: I’m sorry, I just love you all so much and I can’t wait to keep being friends with you forever

Wally: MAKE IT STOP, MY GAY HEART CANT TAKE IT

Zatanna: :’’’(

Conner: damn it now i need a hug

Wally: SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE??? YOU BROK E CONNER

Kaldur: If this is the reaction we get when the school year ends, I can’t imagine what it is going to be like when we all graduate.

Artemis > Baywatch

Tuesday, June 18
13:35 EST

 

Artemis: Hey sorry, I got held up trading my pen to some kid for a bag of gummy worms

Artemis: Where are you? I’ll come meet you

Baywatch: by that one tree at the entrance with the bark face that looks like a mix between robert downey jr. and ghengis khan

Baywatch: also I will sell you my eternal soul for some of those gummies :3

Artemis: Well duh, why do you think I got them? The whole point was acquiring a new soul for the collection

Baywatch: of course, how silly of me

Baywatch: have you made any plans for the summer yet?

Artemis: After today? Nope

Artemis: Have you?

Baywatch: nope

Artemis: Really? How shocking

Artemis: I guess you’ll have to come up with something to do all summer

Baywatch: yeah, if only there was a snarky goddess who could keep me company over those long, grueling months

Artemis: That sounds like an awfully unfortunate predicament

Baywatch: it is

Baywatch: unless of course, you wanted to volunteer by any chance

Artemis: Well let’s see

Artemis: Hmmmm

Artemis: According to my calendar, all summer I’m booked to hang out with a Waluigi Weast

Artemis: Can’t imagine who that could be

Baywatch: it’s a mystery

Artemis: I can see you, by the way

Artemis: Stop doing finger guns you look like a weirdo

Baywatch: I’ll stop doing finger guns when you stop flipping me off. there are children here

Baywatch: you look pretty by the way

Artemis: Shut up

 


 

“It’s true, you know.”

As Artemis approached, Wally pushed off the tree he was leaning against. He caught the bag of candy she tossed to him. “You saw me an hour ago,” she said.

“Yeah. One whole hour. I don’t know how I survived.” He crammed three gummy worms in his mouth, talking around them. “Did Megs say where to meet the others?”

“She told me they would catch us at the entrance of the school, so I'm sure they'll pull around in a sec.”

Wally handed the bag out to Artemis, who grabbed a handful. “How long do you think we have before they get here?”

“Knowing our friends? I’d say a good five minutes.”

“Wow, five whole minutes alone. If only there were something for us to do in the meantime.” He waggled his eyebrows.

“Oh, I’m sure we’ll think of something.” She stepped closer.

“Yeah, like stamp-collecting. Or a refreshing game of tag. Maybe even do some taxes—”

Artemis snorted. “You’re such a dork.” Before Wally could offer a retort, Artemis had grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss. He startled at first, but soon sank into it and kissed back with zeal.

Artemis had to admit it. Of all the many, many perks that came with dating Wally West, this was a pretty good one. Wally’s hands found her waist, and it seemed as though every time they did this he treated it like it were the first time. Artemis certainly wasn’t complaining.

“Wow, you guys are gross,” said a voice above them.

Scared shitless the pair sprang away from each other, Wally tripping over his own feet in the process and falling on his ass. Artemis looked up.

Up in the branches of the tree, Dick grinned down at her. “Hey, Arty.” He was sitting on one of the thicker branches, roughly five feet above their heads.

Artemis rolled her eyes, yanking Wally back up from where he fell in the dirt. “What are you doing up there, Grayson?”

Dick shrugged. “Hanging around.” When her glare didn’t let up, his eyes cut to the side. “I may have also hacked into your phones and saw that you were meeting up here.”

Wally brushed the dirt from his jeans. “Way to interrupt, dickhead.”

Dick adjusted his grip on the branch he was perched on. With what looked like minimal effort, he shifted until he was dangling with his hands wrapped around the branch, the tip of his sneaker brushing Artemis’ shoulder. She batted him away.

“We’d better get a move on,” Dick said as he swung back and forth, ever the acrobat. “We have to get to the carnival before the ticket lines get too long. Plus I want funnel cake, so that takes top priority.”

Wally perked up. “I second that.”

“I just got you candy,” Artemis reminded him.

“And I appreciate that. Which is why I’ll repay you with funnel cake.”

Artemis sighed. “Come on, Baywatch.” She grabbed his hand and started pulling him toward the parking lot.

Dick dropped down from the tree, sprinting to catch up with the couple. He threw his arms around them both. “Ooh, maybe the three of us can get a ride together on the Tunnel of Love.”

“Definitely not,” Wally said.

“Killjoy.”

As they got closer, Artemis spotted Conner’s familiar red pickup in the parking lot. Roy, Zatanna, and Raquel were already sitting in the bed of the truck, while poor Kaldur was crammed in the front seat between Megan and Conner.

At seeing Artemis and Wally’s joined hands, Zatanna whistled. “Lovebirds spotted, folks!”

Roy picked his head up. “Finally,” he groaned. “Do you know how long we’ve been waiting for you three to show up? I only have a few days left until graduation, and you’re cutting into what little time I have left to be a mindless delinquent.”

Artemis flipped him off, making Dick cackle.

Raquel arched an eyebrow. “Do you seriously plan on turning into a responsible adult once you graduate?”

“No, but I can pretend that I do.”

Dick ran ahead and climbed effortlessly into the bed of the truck. “Quick, someone do the Titanic pose with me.”

Wally released Artemis’ hand and bounded forward. “On it, buddy!”

Artemis shook her head in amusement, watching her boyfriend try and fail to climb into the truck, eventually having to get a hand from the others who pulled him in. Artemis took her time walking over, but stopped when she realized her phone was still on in her hand.

It was opened to her and Wally's texts from earlier. As her eyes grazed over their conversation, Artemis couldn't help smiling to herself. To think that all those months ago, back in September when the school year was just beginning the next stage of its never-ending cycle, she and Wally had been little more than strangers. This group of now beloved friends had been a handful of scattered souls, and the Happy Harbor High School Gay/Straight Alliance had been just another pointless after-school activity.

To think that this year had led to all of this—to friendship, to love, to joy—it had Artemis' chest throbbing pleasantly.

She was pulled from her thoughts when Conner honked the horn impatiently. “Come on, Artemis, it smells like fish in here!”

Kaldur frowned. “I told you, I had to come here straight from swim practice.”

All at once, half a dozen "I can’t do anything straight"s chorused, making Kaldur drop his head into his hands. “Why do I even try?”

Megan patted his shoulder. “If it helps, I think you smell nice. Like an aquarium.” She reached over him and Conner, pounding on the horn with her fist. “Now come on, Artemis! I want to ride a roller coaster!”

Artemis rolled her eyes, but there was no heat to it. “All right, all right, I’m coming!”

With a secret smile, Artemis turned her phone off and jogged over to join her friends.
