"Would you like some more eggs Prince Richard?"

"Yes, plase Alferd. Thank you."

All the Princes and King of Gotham, were finishing their morning meal when Blair and Stephine came to the table. Blair was engaged to Prince Jason, and Stephine was a good friend of Prince Timothy (everyone called him Tim).

"What's so funny?" Jason asked.

"Blair said that Richard would, one day, will want to be with one woman forever." It was hard to understand Stephine because she was laughing so hard. "Than I said that will happen the same day the Demon Spawn falls in love."

Richard nd Damian were both glaring at the girls. Stephine was still giggling uncontrollably, but Blair had stopped. She suddenly looked like she was very deep in thought.

"King Bruce," Blair started.

"Yes?"

"What if we have a ball. We can invite all eligible girls in Gotham. There must be SOMEONE in the kingdom that Richard will like not simply for her looks."

"I am sitting right here," Richard said from his spot at the table.

Blair ignored the Prince and kept going, "In fact, it could be a masquerade ball. That way Richard can not be superficial."

Bruce, sat in his chair going over the idea in his head. "I don't see why not, it's been a long time since a public party was held at the castle. Richard also does need to be more observed of girls' personalities, not their looks."

"You make it sounds like I do that all the time," said Richard.

"Princess Kory."

"Duchess Zantanna."

"Lady Rayna."

"Lady-"

"OKAY I GET IT!"

A small smirk formed on the King's lips. "It was the wake up call you needed, son. Alferd!"

"Yes your majesty?"

"Send out an invitation, in three days time we shall have a ball!"

Knock, knock, knock!

The door to the home of the Siren sisters opened.

"How may I help you?" Barbara asked the short, plump man standing in front of her.

"A message from the castle!"

"The castle?!"

"Yes! Here, take it." The messenger handed Barbara a letter before hopping back on his horse and riding away.

No sooner had Barbara turned around that the letter was snachted out of her hand by Ivy.

"What do we have here," The woman tore open the letter and read it. As her eyes scanned the page a grin appeared on her face.

"Sisters, news! Come now!" The two woman came inside.

"What's going on Red? I just LOVE a good surprise!" Harley said beaming from ear to ear.

Selina took the letter from Ivy's hands. "A masquerade ball is being held at the palace and all are welcome!"

"We just HAVE to go!" Harley said.

"Of course we are going Harley, anyone and everyone will be there."

"Anyone Aunt Selina, does that mean I can attend as well?" Barbara said. "The invitation does say 'all are welcome'"

"But of course darling," Ivy's voice was cold with no caring whatsoever. "You may go if, the house is spotless."

"Every inch will be clean."

"And you help us with our own dresses."

"Of course Aunt Ivy, anything."

"And you must find proper attire for the ocasion." Barbara's face fell as Ivy's smirk grew. They both knew Barbara had no cloths that she could wear. "Only if you complete those simple tasks, may you go to the ball." Ivy moved close to Barbara and whispered in her ear. "You better start now time is running out."
