Northern Atlantic Ocean
Titanic
Zatanna's POV
I walk out of my room in my long purple dress that has poofy short sleeves and white sleeves under it that reached my elbows. The bottom of my thin skirt went down to my ankles and I wore black wedges with them. I walked to the Great Hall where I see many people, including my father, Zatara. I saw him talking to someone about my age, a boy with slicked hair, dark glasses, and in a suit. I head towards them as my father calls out, "Zatanna, come over here"
"This is Richard Grayson" My dad says as the boy reaches my hand and kisses it.
"Richard, this is my daughter, Zatanna"
I curtsey and say,"Pleasure"
"How do you do" He replies
"I'm off to the deck"
"Mind if I join you?" He asks and offers his arm.
"Not at all" I say as I grab his arm.
We walk up to the deck, passing many people on the great ship. Did I mention we were on the Titanic? The indestructible ship? My father and I were able to get on the ship first class, and that's why we were allowed up on the deck and everywhere. I take a seat and before Richard says anything, I jump up and run over to the other side of the deck, where I saw the cutest little baby. I walk up to the mother and say,
"Hello, ma'am, is that your daughter?"
The lady looks up and smiles, "Why yes, her name is Stella Jane"
"What a lovely name. May I hold her?"
She looked hesitant, but agreed to it, "It's alright, here"
I took Stella into my arms and smile at the tiny doll like baby in my arms. She giggled as I held her firmly.
"How old is she, Ms..."
"Ms. Claire, and she's 7 months old"
I smile at her and say, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Claire, and I have to go, I left someone without saying anything."
"Nice to meet you, too, and I hope to see you soon!" Ms. Claire says as I give Stella back to her.
I return back to Richard and say, "So sorry, I just saw the cutest little girl."
He grins and says, "It's alright. You have a way with little kids, by the way I see it."
I smile at him and look into his eyes. They were a beautiful shade of light blue. I couldn't help but feel attached to him for some unknown reason. I noticed that our faces were getting closer, and I quickly averted my attention to hide my rising blush and slightly cleared my throat. He as well turned his head and coughed.
"Well, I'd better be off, my father may get worried" I say, making up an excuse.
"Yea...well good bye" I curtsey and hurriedly walk away. As soon as I'm out of his sight, I close my eyes and let out a breath. "What happened?" I hear a voice say. My eyes fly open and I see my best friend, Artemis. She was wearing a dark green corset top and a lighter shade of green on her long thin skirt. "Oh my, don't scare me like that!" I shout at her out of breath. She gives me a questioning look and says, "How about we go to the dining hall?" I knew that she meant to say was Let's go eat and talk about whatever's up. I sighed, knowing I had no way out of this.

Dick's POV
I look towards where Zatanna faded from my view. I had to process what had just happened. Correction, what almost just happened. I stood up and made my way over to the side of the boat. I put my hands on the steel edge and looked over the vast sea. 'Did I really just try to kiss her? I barely even know her! Plus, her dad is super protective of her! What would Bruce say to me?' All these thoughts ran around my head, I barely heard the voice coming from behind me. "Watcha' thinking about?" I turn around and see my best friend, Wallace West, or as he goes by, Wally.
I smirk and say, "Who says I'm thinking?"
He gives me a look, "Says you looking out to the ocean." I shrug it off.
"So what are you thinking?"
"Oh, just about someone..."
"Someone ehh?" He asks with eyebrows risen, "And who's that?"
"Well you know, Mr. Zatara's daughter" I mumbled the last part.
"Did you say Mr. Zatara's daughter? He has a daughter?! Is she hot?"
"Dude!" I say, "Is that all you care about?"
He shrugs and says, "Whatever, I'm hungry, lets go to the dining hall to eat."
I sigh, "Of course you are, when are you not?"
"Hey! I have a fast metabolism!" (hehe ^.^) He uses the same excuse, again.

Artemis's POV
Zatanna and I find an empty table and sit down. A waiter comes by and takes our order. I order the Pouched Salmon with Mousseline sauce and Tanna gets the same. We ate in silence for the first few minutes, when I decided to bring up the subject. "So, what's up Tanna?"
She looked at me and sighed, "You really want to know?"
"Yes!" I nearly shouted.
"Ok, ok, calm down, I'll tell you. Ok, so..." She then explains what happened to her.
I jump out of my seat, "YOU ALMOST K-MPHNMFT!" Tanna covered my mouth with her hand and sat me down.
"Be quiet!" She harshly whispered to me
"Oh right..." I looked down ashamed at how unlady-like I just acted.
"It's alright, but just keep quiet, you know what would happen if my dad found out."
I shuddered as I remembered. Last time Zatanna liked a guy, her dad chased him out of the city with a baseball bat and a gun in both of his hands. It was like watching a chicken without its head running around. Suddenly, I hear a voice that wasn't Tanna's, "May we join you ladies?" I look up to see a handsome young man about my age with bright red hair, freckles and wearing a suit. Behind him, there was another man with dark hair and dark glasses on. I look over to Tanna and see her nod everso-slightly. "Sure" I responded, and scooted over towards Tanna and the red-head sat next to me, and the dark-haired boy next to Tanna. Tanna leans towards me and whispers, "That's him" I look over to where she was looking and gasp. She was looking at the dark-haired boy. The two boys look at me questioningly. "Oh, um...excuse me"
The red-head looks at me and says, "The names Wallace West, or you can call me Wally," he then takes my hand and kisses it. I blush at this. I didn't know why, everyone did it to ladies, but he was different, in some way. "I'm Artemis." The dark haired boy dipped his head and said, "I'm Richard, but both of you can call me Dick." He turns and smiles to Tanna, and I see her blush a little. Tanna and I quickly finished our last few bites and then she stood up. "Thank you for your company, but we must be off." We curtseyed as the two stood up as we left. We didn't say anything, and we headed off to the same place, Tanna's room.
