[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.]

	[Smooth] [Unsprisingly, the sudden crash and subsequent cry happening so close to her startled the poor girl awake, sitting up with a start and nearly falling over herself.] Tahw eht kcuf?!? [Spewing out language that would have her father grounding her from beyond the Helmet, she blinked twice before looking down.] ...Wally? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Smooth is his middle name.] [He's sprawled out on the floor next to his fallen chair, rubbing the back of his shoulder, when he hears Zatanna's voice that alerts him that she's no longer asleep. Looking up at her, he grins and gives a friendly wave like nothing had happened.] Hey. Nice nap? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Blink. Blink.] ...don't tell me you were watching me sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course not!

[His face suddenly goes a little red as he remembers something similar happened after they arrived in Squall and he feels the need to clarify even more.]

Well I mean, you were sleeping, but I wasn't watching you sleep.

[He scrambles to his feet so he can grab the book he was reading from the table and shows her the cover; which is of an old man with a long, gray beard holding what can only be a magic wand.]

I was reading this!

	[The moment his face turned red, she didn't even need to hear the end of his explanation; a faint chuckle escaped her, but only until it was interrupted by a yawn.] 'Merlin: The Lost Years', huh? I'll admit, Wally, I didn't expect you to go for Arthurian Legends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-02 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	[A shrug.] Hey, I'm a guy full of surprises. [And just because he finds stuff like that interesting and entertaining doesn't mean he believes any of it to be true.] So, you have a long night last night, or did you just find whatever you're working on so boring that you doze off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-03 12:03 am UTC (link)
	A little of both. Would you believe I just lost track of the time? [It wasn't a lie; she'd been so focused lately on her research that she could barely remember what day it was any longer. They all seemed to pass by in a blur, save for the occasional friendly intervention.] How'd you find me here, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-03 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Sure. It happens to me all the time. [Usually when he's working on some science project.] Well as I've told you before, you snore. Loudly. Seriously, the moment I entered this Sector I knew you were here. [Not true, but it's a better story than what actually happened.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-03 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	I think you're confusing me for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-04 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Nope. You snore like a lawnmower. [He grins teasingly, before bending down to retrieve the fallen chair and set it back in its proper position.] But speaking of me, did you get a chance to meet future Wally? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-04 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	[Wally, you are so lucky she likes you ~~sometimes~~, because she'll ignore that completely untrue crack and focus on the tangent.] I did, actually. And so did Artemis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-07 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, she was the one that told me he was here. [Fortunately for the universe, he avoided running into his future self.] He didn't happen to tell you to hassle me about something too, did he? [Okay, Artemis didn't exactly hassle him about New Years. She just trapped him into telling her what happened.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-07 02:26 am UTC (link)
	[Very subtle, Wally.] If this is some indiscreet way of telling me I haven't been hassling you enough as it is, I can always try to step up my game. Just for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-07 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughs at that.] That's awfully nice of you, but I think your current hassling level is sufficient enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-07 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Are you sure about that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-08 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure. But I promise I'll let you know if I ever feel you're slacking off on your hassling duties in the future. So, how'd I look? Did I have a goatee? [He thinks he'd look awesome with a goatee.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-09 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. Not a single whisker, even. Actually, you looked mostly the same. I didn't even realize it was an older you over the screen until you really started messing with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-10 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Well I guess it would be pretty silly to mess with perfection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	So you wouldn't object if I told you that you never got any taller, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-10 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	But I have to get taller. [Because Dick did and it would be unacceptable if he ends up being the short one.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Says who? [Hey, she already knows her time for lording over the Boy Wonder is limited.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-12 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	Says me. [Not that he really has anything to back that up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-12 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Why? [She's not sure that particular source can be trusted.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-09-12 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	[C'mon, Zee. When has he ever been wrong about anything?] Because... of science! I mean, based on my genetics and perfect physical health, I should have at least four or five more inches to go. [He'll settle for surpassing his mother and being able to lord over Artemis.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-12 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno, Wally. All that soda you've been drinking. Doesn't caffeine stunt your growth or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
