"Why? I thought you wanted me to stop dating?” I wondered
"Because I wanted you to be happy. And I knew you wouldn’t be happy just being friends with this fine young man.” Artemis responded.
Robin and I both blushed.
When I turned to walk away, I saw Megan and Super Boy dancing together.
"Where have you two been?” I asked “You missed all the excitement!”
"We saw you two kiss…”Super Boy said
"You two make like such a cute couple!” Megan exclaimed
Both mine and Robin’s cheeks turned an odd shade of pink. I glanced at Robin with a mischievous smile on my face. He nodded.
"We saw you guy’s kiss to. You guy’s are SO cute together!” I grinned
"What?! Who said we kissed out on the balcony when everyone else was dancing?!” Super Boy exclaimed
"You just did in front of all of Olympus and the team” Robin told them
"How? None of them are here?" M'gann asked
"But us four are on the big screen right now” I said laughing
"WHAT?!” Megan and Super Boy both exclaimed looking around while me and Robin ran off in to the crowd.
"Nice job” complimented a voice behind me. I spun around to see the face of Athena.
"What are you talking about?” I asked innocently.
"Two bluffs followed by a retreat. A perfect strategy” She said
"Well thank you. I learned from the best” I replied
Athena smiled and walked away.
"So, what do you wanna do now?” Robin asked
"Go tease Artemis and Wally?” I suggested
"Like you read my mind, beautiful.” He agreed “Wow. I just sounded KF for a second there”
I laughed.
When we found Wally and Artemis, I noticed something strange: they were getting along. Robin came up beside me and I actually heard him gasp. Artemis and Wally were laughing, dancing, drinking juice, and eating chips.
'Megan!’ I telepathically called
'What?’ she asked
'I need you to find Artemis the goddess and bring her to me okay?’ I instructed
'What does she look like?’ Megan wondered
'Auburn hair, silver dress, my age’ I told her ‘I’ll just send you a telepathic image of her when I saw her before’
'Got it’ she replied
'Meet me near the snacks table when you find her’ I instructed.
'Alright’ she responded
A couple minutes later Diana (Artemis’s roman form cause the whole 2 Artemis’s was getting confusing) was by my side.
"You called for me?” She asked
"Can you do the whole spot light and big screen thing on Wally and Artemis to get them to kiss while I get them closer?” I replied
"Sure” she responded with a sly smile
"Robin, phase one complete. On to phase two” I said into my com unit.
"Because I wanted you to be happy. And I knew you wouldn’t be happy just being friends with this fine young man.” Artemis responded.

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked by a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, you just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the second verse.
"Jingle bells, Batman smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile lost its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids

Yes, that's right, I'm back! And with a special sneak-peek to this Friday's chapter of Heart of Courage!

Red Revenge stepped out of the transporter to find Artemis waiting for him in full costume.
"Didn't take Boy Wonder long to figure out where I live, did it?" he asked, walking past her.
Artemis glared at him, but ran up beside him.
"Let me guess, you want to talk about why I act like a jerk." Revenge said, still not looking at the archer.
"Actually, I thought we could go out for ice-cream." Artemis said.
Duh, duh duh!
