A Night in Paris
A/N: Hello! I'm Jillian :) Please keep an open mind while reading this, as it is my very first story on here.
-Slight OC'S, but they don't play a very big role. Mainly about Artemis and Wally. Rated T for language, and I apologize in advance for anyone being OOC.

It was a normal Saturday evening at Mount Justice. Robin and Batman were in Gotham doing the whole "dynamic duo" thing, and Zatanna and her father went out at the movies, so it was just Wally, M'gann, Conner and Artemis there. M'gann was cooking in the kitchen while Conner was sitting at the breakfast bar reading a magazine, secretly wishing Wally would turn down the T.V. so he could concentrate. Wally, being his usual self, was scarfing down a bag of potato chips while lazily laying on the couch.
"Hey. Where's Arty?" Wally randomly asked. "Oh, she's in my room getting ready." M'gann answered. "For what?" he wondered, sitting up. "For her date with Drew tonight." M'gann said, mixing up some ingredients in a bowl. Wally didn't respond, and just rolled his eyes. Silence fell over the room. (other than the background noise of the T.V.) M'gann and Conner raised their eyebrows at Wally, then looked away. Everyone knew that Wally hated Drew. He's made that clear. Anytime Artemis would mention his name, Wally would groan and comment about what a complete douche he his; and that Artemis shouldn't trust him. That usually resulted in Robin chuckling and saying things like, "You only say that because you loooove Artemis!" and then Wally would say something like, "That's not true!" and usually end up blushing like mad, while Artemis would stand there looking oh-so uncomfortable.
But yes, Wally not liking Drew was a known fact. He knows that deep down inside, everything Robin says is true. The day Wally found out that Artemis was dating some snobby guy from Gotham Academy, a surge of jealousy ran through his veins. He totally denies that he likes Artemis, but at the same time, he knows he's got a major crush on the girl. I mean, of course, when they met, he automatically hated her because of the, "Red Arrow replacement" thing, but after a while, he kinda became attached to her. Wally wonders if she knows he likes her. Some days she acts like she does, other days she acts completely oblivious that he even has feelings for her. He honestly still can't answer for himself why he feels this way; especially because sometimes she treats him like shit. And he does the same to her. One time he even called her an "emotionless blonde bitch" when they were fighting about a mission that went wrong. Lesson learned: don't call her that unless you want her to kick you in the throat. Still, it was just something about her...
Wally's thoughts were interrupted by her walking into the room.
One glance, and damn. He knew he should stop staring, but he couldn't. Like, c'mon, the girl looked cute! She was wearing denim washed skinny jeans, a bright red linen shirt, a light brown leather jacket, a gray pair of Vans high tops, with a mini gray sling bag to match, a long, metal chain necklace, and a brown and gold braided belt. Her hair wasn't in a pony tail; it was down for a change. The yellow locks stretched just down to her waist. The ends were curled slightly. Personally, Wally preferred her hair down than in a pony tail. Other than missions, he wished she wore it all the time. He smiled slightly and tried his best to look at the T.V. again.
"Hey Artemis." Wally said casually. "Sup Baywatch," she said with a smile. Wally returned it and quickly looked at the T.V. again, acting as if he was actually interested in what he was watching. "Wow, Artemis! You look great!" squealed M'gann. "Thanks." Artemis said, walking to the kitchen on her phone. She took a seat next to Super Boy who just gave her a smile, then went back to reading.
"So, what time?" M'gann asked, lowering her voice. "Oh- uhh, not sure." responded Artemis, her eyes glued to her phone. "He said he would text me." "Oh, well, wherever you guys are going, I bet it's somewhere nice." She said, putting a tray of something in the oven. "It damn well better be, he's bailed on me twice already!" Artemis said with a smirk. Even though the girls were talking "quietly," Super Boy could still hear them, and KF also. So much for privacy? "Mmm, smells good, M! What're you making?" Artemis asked. "Uh, well for diner I'm making chicken pot pie, and for dessert, I'm making brownies!" She beamed. "Heh, sounds good. I almost wish I was here to eat with you guys." Said Artemis, looking down at her phone again.
Just then, her phone beeped alerting her she had a text message. Artemis tapped the touch screen and read the message. Her face fell and she bit her lip. Not the message she wanted.
~Haha, okay! There's my first chapter. I know it's not much, I just wanted to explain the setting and the characters and stuff. Trust me, there will be more dialog in the next chapter. I will only update if I get at least 1 or 2 reviews. Again, this is my first story, and I need to know how I can improve! Thank you so much. :) ~
