Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Robin
Happy birthday to you

...December 1, 2010...

I arrive to the cave, seeing Robin about to head out. "Ah, found you!" I speed over to stop him, grabbing him by his arm.

"What?" Robin looks at me quizzically.

"I've been looking for you. Alfie said you were here," I respond, pulling out a gift from behind my back. "I wanted to give you your gift from me."

"You got me a gift?"

"It is your birthday," I respond, placing the wrapped box in his hands. "You told me you wanted one, so I made one."

"What?" he asks.

"Open it."

He does so, and I whisk the discarded wrapping paper to the trash. He pulls out a Robin scarf. A red scarf with a Robin insignia on the bottom of each side.

His eyes shine. "It's like Wally's but mine."

"That's right," I nod. "Took me like 10 seconds."

"This is awesome!" he cheers. "Thanks, Bolt!"

I pull him to me in a hug. "Happy Birthday, Boy Wonder." I release him and kiss his cheek. "Well, I gotta go. I gotta prepare for your birthday party. Alfie gave me an invitation." I salute off as I disappear back to Gotham, speeding off to home.

~~~

Artemis, Bette, and I all decide to head to Richy's party together. I obviously being Dawn Joleen and not Bolt.

"Will you hurry up?" Bette fusses with the two of us behind her.

"Bette, why are you even here? You barely know Dick," Artemis says.

"He's a freshman, Artemis. Knowing him's not the point," Bette says. "No offense, Dawn."

"Then what is the point?" I ask.

"Are you kidding? He's the richest kid in Gotham. Aren't you curious–?"

She gets cut off by Alfred opening the door. "Welcome to Wayne Manor. Who may I say is–"

Alfred gets cut off as I move to the front. "Hey, Alfie!"

"Ah, Miss Joleen–"

"Dawn! Bette! Artemis!" Richy calls out, popping up behind Alfred. "I'm glad you came!"

Alfred moves aside to let us in.

I hug Richy, handing him his gift. "Happy Birthday, birthday boy!"

"Thanks!" he replies, handing the gift to Alfred to take to the gift table. "The party is this way." He takes us to the game room.

"Wow..." Bette breathes, looking around.

"Yeah..." Artemis responds, following suit.

I snicker as I've been in this room countless times after we finish studying for school. "Magnificent, isn't it?"

The two girls nod.

"Your foster father doesn't do anything halfway, does he?" Artemis asks.

"You have no idea," Richy chuckles. "Wanna play some foosball?"

"I call Artemis!" I exclaim, grabbing her wrist as I pull her over to the table.

Bette pairs up with Richy, and we begin. After a bit, we have one more point till we win.

"Oh, get it! Get it!" Artemis cheers.

"Always?" Bette smirks at him.

"She's like ridiculously good at everything," he scoffs.

"Who wants pizza?!" Alfred shouts so everyone could hear.

We all turn to see Alfred walking in with many boxes of pizza as the famous Bruce Wayne follows behind him.

"You ordered pizza?" Richy asks Alfred.

"Don't be absurd, Master Richard. I ordered the boxes, I made the pizza," Alfred sasses.

I snicker as Richy moves off to the side to talk to Bruce. Everyone else moves to grab a slice of pizza.

After about an hour, Alfred and Bruce 'mysteriously' disappear. We all gather in a circle to play 7 minutes in heaven. Artemis and I sit on either side of Richy. It's my turn, and I spin the bottle. It lands on the birthday boy himself. His eyes widen as he looks at the bottle.

"C'mon birthday boy!" a girl calls out.

"Woo hoo!" a boy hoots.

"Yeah, Grayson, she won you fair and square!" a boy teases who looks exactly like Wally but with blue eyes.

Artemis shoots me a smirk, me rolling my eyes back at her.

Richy stands up. "Okay, okay. Calm down. I'm 14, not 9," he scoffs, turning to me. He holds out his hand. "You ready for what comes next?"

I smirk at him as I place my hand in his. "Only if you are." A few ooo's surround us from the others. He pulls me up, and we disappear into the nearby closet.

For the first three minutes, we just sit there, twiddling our thumbs while sitting on the ground.

"Only four minutes left!" someone calls out.

I grin. May as well have some fun. I move to my knees.

"We don't have to do anything..." He looks up at me as I move closer. "Dawn?"

I smirk, pushing him down by the shoulders till his back is flat on the floor. I move my hands to just under his jaw and grin. "Shut up, and kiss me."

He's surprised at first but melts into the kiss, wrapping his hands around my waist. I move my hands up to move through his slicked back hair, purposefully messing it up some. He retaliates by gripping my hips a little tighter, obviously liking the sensation. We separate and touch foreheads, breathing out slightly heavy.

"Wow... just wow..." he breathes.

I grin. "Your lips taste like pizza."

"As do yours." He chuckles. "Care for another taste?" he jokes.

I've rubbed off on him. Smirking, I respond with, "Only if you want seconds."

"Oh, I definitely want seconds."

We press our lips together once more for seconds, thirds, and fourths. The surrounding world disappears until a knock resounds on the door, bringing us back to our senses.

"Seven minutes is up," the voice of Artemis speaks through.

I pull away and chuckle. "You have green lipstick on your lips."

"Do I look good?" he jokes.

"Sexy as usual."

We laugh as we stand up and exit the closet.

"Woot woot!" the blue eyed Wally hollers, taking notice to Richy's disheveled self and the green lipstick.

Artemis nudges me with her signature smirk as we return to play some more. Artemis ends up heading in the closet with the Wally clone. Both come out disheveled. Barbara and Bette end up together too. Then it was Artemis and I at some point. All in all it was a fun night.

~~~

Everyone leaves, but I return dressed as Bolt, sweeping Richy off his feet and twirling around.

"Sorry I didn't come to your party," I say, setting him down. "I didn't want to attract unwanted attention for the two of us."

"I get that," he nods.

"Is Wally coming over?" I ask.

"He was here for the party."

"Really?!" I huff. I knew it was him.

"Yeah, he was wearing these crazy blue contacts," he admits.

"Well, you wanna play video games or something?" I ask. "Or maybe something a little more daring..." I move in close to him, leaning in close and walking my fingers up his chest.

"Bolt..."

I pull away and smirk. "Like going out on patrol with Batman?"

"Bolt!" he shouts.

I laugh as I make my way to the Batcave. "I'll race ya!"
