   Summary

   It's 1988, and summer has just begun in Gotham City.

   Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent, Gotham Academy's student council president and valedictorian, respectively, have just graduated high school. They've spent the whole of their teenage years together-- and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon, as the moment August comes, they're off to college together.

   But still, it's a milestone. People change.

   During a drunken night, they plan a road trip. One last adventure where they're just the way they are now. And nothing will change. Not yet, anyway.
