It was Artemis. She was in her dress, her hair out of a poni, pony and lying loosely over her shoulders. She came in and saw I wasn’t in my dress yet.
“Are tu going to the dance o not!? ‘Cause it starts in TEN minutos AND YOU’RE NOT IN YOUR OUTFIT YET!!!” She exclaimed, pushing me into the bathroom, throwing my outfit in after me. I changed as quickly as I could without messing up my hair. I put my tiara in my still perfect hair. I slipped on my silver shoes and bangle. I walked out, and then ran out the door, down the hall, through the mission room, to right outside the lounge. I waited for Artemis and Megan to catch up. I made sure my hair was still nice, straightened my skirt, fixed Artemis’ belt, adjusted Megan’s gloves, then we all walked in together. That’s when I felt like a fool. I noticed everyone had a date, except for Wally and Super Boy, who were obviously with Artemis and Megan. Everyone had a date. Everyone except for me. I skirted the edge of the party, determinded to stay unseen. I got successfully to the cocina part of the lounge, which was now transformed into a snack table. I sat down in a chair and scanned the crowd. Robin was with a girl who looked like Super Girl, but younger, Wally was with Artemis, Super Boy was with Megan, batman was with Wonder Woman (called it), even Red Tornado was with a girl. I saw Black Canary walk in, alone. FINALLY! Another single girl! I thought that until I saw Green arrow walk in after her, grab a rose from his chaqueta and give it to her. I sighed. I was the only single person here! I saw Wally walk over to the karaoke machine. Oh no. I wasn’t sure if I should be scared o excited. He grabbed the microphone.
“Okay everyone. I made a promise and I tend to keep it. Any requests?” he asked
I thought for a second. “Kryptonite” I suggested. I decided to test Wally. Kryptonite was one of the hardest songs on the machine. Super Boy gave me a look. I couldn’t tell if it was annoyance o anger. The song started. It was a slower, nicer, song so everyone decided it was time to slow dance. I sighed. If I had known this was a bring a fecha dance party, I wouldn’t have come. Kalder walked up to me, one hand behind his back. He was wearing a simple red camisa, camiseta and a black tie.
“May I have this dance?” he asked
“Don’t tu have a fecha to get back to? I dicho the word fecha like it was a curse.
“Actually, no. The girl I used to amor is now dating my best friend” he explained
“I know how that feels, trust me” I said
“So, do tu want to dance, o just sit here and mope around?” he repeated
“A dance would do me good. I guess that tu have a flor behind your back, then?” I said
He smiled and gave me a beautiful rose. Then I took his hand and we got up and danced away.
