Thanks for all the reviews! This is a special chapter based on a quote that's not Good Friend/Best Friend quote.

Thanks, Yume no Anime!

Tell me what you think! Next chapter's back to normal lay-out!

You will always be my friend, you know too much.

Roy has long since been accustomed to having one or both of his best friends say weird things at weird times. After all, one is a certified genuis and the other has superspeed to think with. The way they think, and thus speak, can be considered...strange.

Still, Dick's statement is a little strange, even for Dick.

"You two will always be my friends," Dick says casually and out of nowhere, balancing his entire body on one hand. He ducks his head a little so he can see them better and smiles, a sincere smile, not his typical devil-may-care grin.

Wally and Roy blink at him from their position on Roy's couch, in front of Roy's tiny TV.

"Uh...what?"

Dick puts on foot down and stands up in a ta-da gesture, twisting to see them. "You two will always be my friends."

"Well, yeah, Dick, of course." Wally tilts his head, confused, probably trying to trace previous conversations that brought up this one. Roy's given up on that tactic long ago.

"Where'd that come from?" Roy asks quizzically.

Dick drops down in front of them on his butt, looking up with bright blue eyes. It's one of Dick's classic 'look I'm the adorable baby brother' moves, and Roy and Wally fall for it every time. "I was just thinking about it. You guys will always be my friends because you know too much."

Wally blinks and leans away warily. "You're going to off us, aren't you?"

Dick laughs. "No. I'm just saying. Outside of the Manor and Barry and Ollie, you're the only ones that know my real identity. We grew up together, so you know every embarassing thing that's ever happened to me. You guys could very easily be my downfall."

Both Roy and Wally are nonplussed. Only Bats could think about friendship in such terms.

"So," Dick continues, falling back so that he's in a sit-up position to look up at them, "You'll always have to be my friends so I can keep an eye on you!"

Wally recovers first, of course. "Well...we can say the same thing about you!"

Now Roy and Dick are looking at him, confused.

"I mean...not the whole identity thing, but the grew-up-together-know-the-intimate-details thing. Especially you, Dick. You have some kind of talent for showing up in time for epic fails."

Roy rolls his eyes. "No, you just epically fail a lot."

"Hey!" Wally lunges at him, but Roy rolls over to his back and catches Wally's chest with his foot, propping him up, away from Roy's face. "I do not epically fail, Dick just always shows up for them! And what about you? You shot all those guys with your knock out gas and then got caught by Ollie! That's a fail, dude! F-A-L, fail!"

Dick bursts out laughing in time for Roy to register Wally's error. The speedster stares at the laughing duo for a minute, and then blushes bright red. "H-hey! I meant F-A-I-L! I just got caught up!"

"Oh no, that was a fail," Roy laughs, rolling over and making Wally stand up on the couch without his foot on his chest. "F-A-I-L, fail."

"Whatever!" Wally slumps down into the cushions and points at Roy. "You'll always have to be our friend because we have so much dirt on you it's not even funny."

Roy snorts disbelievingly. "Yeah, sure."

"We do," Dick pipes up, back in his original one-handed handstand. "That time you shot off your arrow net and you shot it into the wind and trapped yourself?"

"Or that time Ollie dangled you off the roof because you ran off?"

"Or when you hit Ollie with an electric arrow?"

"Or that time Ollie hit you with an electric arrow?"

"Or when you fell out of a window trying to line up a shot?"

"Or the mud-football game?"

"Dude," Dick looks over at Wally, frowning, "That was last week. We all did that."

"Whatever." Wally waves him off. "See? You always have to be our friend, Roy, because we know too much about you not to be."

Roy rolls his eyes and slides down to the floor to tap the toe of his shoe against Dick's forehead. "Listen, for all the stupid things I did, you've both done at least ten times as many. Point is that I'll always be your friend because you'll always be my friends, okay? It has nothing to do with how much we know about each other."

Dick flops down and grins at him. "Still, we've got a lot of blackmail for each other."

"Comes with the territory." Roy lets Wally zip up next to him, under his arm. "Now, would the two of you shut up so I can watch CSI?"

"I'll get popcorn!" Wally volunteers, rocketing out the door, probably to go to the movie theater down the street.

"Wonders if he knows that movie theater closed down last week?" Dick asks casually. Roy just smiles at him and listens for Wally's footsteps down the hall...right...now.

Thanks again! :)
