what?! An update?! But you never update this story?! I know, and I'm terrible for it, but it's late and night and I had a nap during the day so I'm not tried at all so boom, two stories updated in one night! This is short, but I didn't want to fill it was pointless stuff and this is all that came to mind. Enjoy!

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" The team jumped at the outcry of their archer, who had locked herself in her bathroom little over two hours ago. Wally got up to see what it was, and Dick followed, to make sure the two didn't kill each other. When they got to the door it was locked.

"Artemis? What's wrong?" Robin asked.

"Go away!" She yelled.

"If you don't tell us, I'll vibrate through the door," Wally tried.

"I know you can't do that, Baywatch!"

"Yeah, well, I run into the door or-" the door swung open, revealing a girl who did not look like Artemis in the slightest. Sure, she had the same face and hair, but she was wearing a dress. A pink dress. And make-up. Her hair was half straightened, and her ear was bright red. The boys assumed she had burnt herself.

"What's with the…"

"I have a date, thank you very much." The three stood in silence for a moment.

"Do you want so me ice, or…" Wally asked, looking at her ear. Artemis sighed.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Wally rushed off, leaving Robin and Artemis alone. In a few seconds, the speedster was back, without ice.

"There is not ice. I'll run down to the shops…?" He didn't even wait for the answer, just ran off again.

"Do you want a hand?"

Artemis raised an eyebrow. "You know how to straighten hair?"

"Hey, most of my friends who aren't heroes are girls." The went into the bathroom, the two standing in comfortable silence as Robin took the hot flat iron over her endless amount of hair.

"Do you know the story of the little mermaid?" Artemis laughed at Robin's question.

"Of course."

"I mean the original version."

"Is this another one of your creepy fairytales?"

"Shh, quiet now, it's story time. Okay, so you know that she traded her voice for her legs, right? Well, one of the conditions was that every step she would take would be agony. Also, that if the prince married someone else, she would die. So she tries to impress the prince. Because she can't talk, or sing, she dances, which is pretty painful, because each step is like walking on swords. But she does it. And she's very good too, the prince claps and everything. But he chooses to marry someone else. So she dies. She had the chance to change it; she could have killed him and his blood would have given her fins again, but she loved him."

"Is there a point to this story?"

"Yes. Even though she did everything she could, completely changing herself, risking her life, going though all that agony, it didn't make the prince love her. The point is that you shouldn't change yourself for anyone. Artemis, this isn't you." He gestured to her dress, her make up, and her now straight hair, which was even longer now that it didn't seems so bushy.

"You saying I shouldn't go on a date?"

"No, I'm saying you should go on a date. As in you, Artemis, not who ever you're trying to be. And if the guy doesn't like you for you, well, then it wasn't going to work out anyway."

"Thanks Robin," she said, giving a smile.

"Besides," he said, just as he heard Wally returning, "I know for a fact there's someone who loves you just the way you are."
