[Today's adventure is less of a fiesta and more of a siesta.]

[Namely, one thoroughly-exhausted Zatanna can be found at the Library. Pouring over texts as if she were in danger of failing MarinaNova 101. The journals are old. The writing in them mostly by hand. She has a notebook of her own off to one side, filled with scribbles and diagrams and anything else she could think of. Most of them magic, though there were a few other symbols drawn in there as well. Such as distinctive "R"s, and lightning bolts and other insignias of her friends. Her and home.]

[If one is fortunate enough to catch her before noon, she might even still be conscious. Either mindlessly doodling or browsing one of the shelves. Otherwise...any passer-bys will find the fourteen year old passed out over the texts.]

	[...Wally, you can't just spring that sort of thing on her in the middle of a study session. Now she's going to go ahead and drop her book and state at him in genuine surprise and grin.] And...? [Details, please] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He was just trying to make casual conversation while they studied. And it might just give him the perfect excuse to hide his eyes behind the diary so he can't see her reactions. It's somehow less awkward that way.]

And she didn't hit me or run away screaming, so I'd say it went better than I expected.

[Certainly that joke response will be enough to quench her curiosity.]

	[Wally.] [It's like you don't even know her.] Well, I could've told you that was going to happen. Unless you two are into that sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He rolls his eyes behind the diary at her last remark. It's not like he actually likes it when Artemis hits him. ~~Much~~.]

Ha-ha, you're funny.

[Not really. But he supposes he can tell her a little about what happened since he brought it up after all.]

It went okay. [More than okay, actually.] I mean, I told her about it and then we went and saw a movie together afterwards. [And no, it wasn't a date.]

	I know. Hilarious even. You mean, you two finally went on a date? [She also isn't a mind reader, and can't see those meta brackets.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-02 12:12 am UTC (link)
	No, it wasn't a date. [There's a long moment of silence as he thinks more about it before he pulls the diary down so he can finally look at her with a confused expression on his face.] ...At least I don't think it was. I mean, not officially anyway. [It was just another one of their not!dates. They've really got those things down to a fine art by now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Groan.] Wally! How am I supposed to live vicariously through you two if you don't ever actually do anything about it? You do realize there's a good chance my dog has been on more dates lately than the four of us combined? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well I told you the little guy was a big hit with the ladies. [His small smile fades after that quip and he drops his eyes to the book in his lap with a sigh.] And it's not like I don't want to do something about it. I'm just...not sure what to do. [You know, besides having the talk they probably should have had months ago, even back home.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So ask her out. Or kiss her. Or both. It worked for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He'll refrain from mentioning there's already been multiple kisses since they've both been in the dome. Mostly because he'd rather not be called an idiot and smacked upside the head for dragging this out.]

It's not that simple, Zatanna.

[Or maybe it is. Maybe he's just hesitant because things between him and Artemis are finally good and he doesn't want to screw that up since it's taken them forever to get there.]

But I guess I could try it. [The asking out thing.] Just know that I get all your ice cream if it goes badly.

	[Huh. Maybe you do know her a little better after all.] ...I don't remember agreeing to that arrangement. I worked hard to get Bart to bring me that ice cream, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-05 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	[Because he's such a good friend, he agreed to that arrangement for her.] "Worked hard"? What? Did he make you say please? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[With friends like you, who needs the Wardens?] I wasn't sure I was going to make it. You have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-05 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Your brackets wound him, Zatanna.] I suppose I don't. But your situation must have been dire indeed if Bart willingly gave you his ice cream. [Joking, 'cause speedsters aren't known for parting with their food easily.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-05 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	It was. Remember that time when it was so hot, the air conditioner was practically melting? He came to my rescue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-06 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	[He remembers that day. It felt like he was being baked alive.] So should I start worrying about getting replaced as the primary speedster in your life? I mean, an ice cream rescue is pretty impressive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-06 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	I'm pretty sure there's room in my heart for two, Wally. [Nobody's getting replaced. Not here. Not in this place.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-09 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Right, sure. [He leans across the table with a smirk.] But I'm still numero uno on your speedster depth chart, right? [Bart can be a very close #2.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-13 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	I plead the fifth. [/yup forever teasing him about this now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-16 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	[You really know how to wipe a smirk off a guys face, Zee.] Sometimes I don't know why I like you. [Translation: That was not the answer he was looking for.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-16 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	[Aww, Wally, don't be like that.] But the important part is that you do like me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-18 05:53 am UTC (link)
	[He feigns a heavy sigh.] Clearly I need to get my head examined. [He's teasing, of course. Because how could he ever not like her when she makes him pancakes?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-18 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	A quick checkup probably couldn't hurt. [Also teasing.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
