"HIDE ME!" Wally ran into the cave hiding behind Superboy and Megan who were holding hands.

"Why do we need to hide you Wally?" Kaldur asked puzzled.

"BAY WATCH, WHERE ARE YOU? I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!" Came a certain blonde haired archer, or should I say ex-blonde haired archer? Artemis came into the room with black hair cascading down her back.

"Ok, too far" Superboy had been getting annoyed with the pranking speedster for a while, but he hadn't done anything too bad. Everyone who knows Artemis should know better than to mess with her hair. "Do as you please." He turned and grabbed Wally by the collar and shoved him toward Artemis who caught him with ease.

Wally struggled and squirmed in Artemis's grip but found it too strong to brake. "Come on Arty, it was just a prank." He gave up squirming.

"One, don't call me Arty. Two, what would give you the infernal idea to do this?" She seethed at him.

"One, ok. Two, I thought it wouldn't be a big problem considering you dye it from black anyway." He answered truthfully.

"One, I don't dye my hair! I am a natural blonde! Two, why the hell would you think I dyed it blonde from black?" she pushed him onto the couch.

"One, because since your Vietnamese one of your parents had to have black hair so being the dominate trait it is your hair, not should, but is black. Two, why did you push me onto the couch?" Wally replied

"One, I DON'T. DYE. MY. HAIR! It is nearly impossible to dye black hair blonde, so I will have to live with this! Plus my hair grows very slowly so that will last who knows how long! Two, because your breath stinks" She answered.

"One, I didn't know! I am so sorry! My friend told me Vietnamese girls looked hotterwhentheykepttheir hairblack and I wanted to seeifitcould actually makeyouevenmorebeautiful! Two, sorry again" he said using his speed before he launched at her on his knees, hugged her tightly, put his face on her stomach, and repeatedly yelled "I'M SORRY". The now black haired Archer's mouth was wide open and everyone filled into the room to see what had happened.

After she finally processed what was happening she started trying to pry him of "Wally, get off. You embarrassing thing" All this caused was him hugging tighter and yelling louder and the others to burst out laughing. She turned a rather nice shade of pink. After a bit more unsuccessful prying everyone stopped laughing, changing to slight giggles, she finally realized what exactly his last retort had been. 'Did he say… that he thought I was beautiful?' "FINE!" Her sudden outburst caused everyone to stop their giggling and look at her and Wally to stop yelling, but kept his face on her stomach. "I forgive you. Now please, can you let go of me?"

Everyone was surprised by words. It was not natural for Artemis to forgive a prank, add in that it was from Wally and to her hair the idea of her forgiving it was an idea no one could even dream about. Through their confusion Wally did manage to let go and they managed to step aside for her to leave. "Uh, what just happened?" Wally asked.

-Brake line-

Artemis was sitting on the couch reading a book when Wally walked in. Looking around he saw no one else around. As casually as he could he went and took a seat next to her looking anywhere but at her. "Sooo, you… forgave me? Why might I ask?" He didn't get a response, just a glance and a smirk. "O.k. you do not have to tell me… What are you reading?" He had decided to try and be on his best behavior around Artemis no need to give her a reason to be mad… well any more.

"It is just some stupid book for school. I couldn't concentrate at home." She answered.

"Why couldn't you concentrate?" He really was curious now, but all he received was another glance and a smirk.

"Ok, ok. I get it. You like your secrets, I will not pry." He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to find another topic that wouldn't cause a fight. Too bad his mouth was faster than his brain. "I think you look nice with the black hair."

"Really? But did it work?" She asked with a sly smile.

"Uh, did what work?"

"Does a Vietnamese girl having black hair really make them hotter? Did it really make me more beautiful?" Ah teasing, what fun. Or it seemed like she was teasing. Really she had been up all night trying to figure out a way of asking without him knowing she really, really, really wanted it to be true.

Wally stared at her dumbfounded "You understood that?"

"So you don't deny it"

"What? I mean-no—wait-uh"

"So you were pranking me?" now she sounded a bit angry

"NO! Of course not!"

"So you think I am beautiful?"

"Well no, I meant uh" Wally stammered. Artemis, wearing an angry face, got up and left the room mumbling curses on the redheaded speedster. Once she was gone Wally pulled a pillow to his face and screamed. 'God! Why did I say that? Out of everything I could have said yesterday I had to admit I thought she was beautiful? And to answer her question, no. And yes. She is so beautiful she could dye her hair pink and call herself Jinx if she wanted ((an: had to do it, sorry))!'

"Did you scream? I heard screaming." Superboy asked from the doorway.

"Oh yeah, sorry, just another fight with Arty." Wally answered.

"After yesterday? Shouldn't you be trying to stay on her good side?" Supey asked.

"I tried but… she asked about something I said yesterday and well… I put my foot in my mouth. Again!" with that the speedster ran off leaving a rather confused clone of Superman behind.

-Break line-

Artemis had stormed into Megan's room where she and Zatanna were talking and sat down in a huff. This caused the two with powers to share a look. "Is this about Wally?" Megan asked gently.

Zatanna rolled her eyes and moved next to Artemis saying "Isn't it always?" They waited for her to explain about the stupid thing he did but she just sat there glaring at the floor. "Well? What did he do?"

Artemis chewed on her lip debating spilling her guts to them. After a moment Megan moved to her other side and established a mental link between the three. "Come on Artemis! On Hello Megan the girls are always doing the 'Girl Talk'!"

Artemis sighed and answered "It's the excuse he gave for dying my hair." She mentally replayed the words she heard. "Then today he goes and does this" She replayed the seen from earlier.

"Awww!" thought the witch and Martian.

"NO! No 'Awww' he is a jerk!" Artemis thought angrily, getting up and storming over to the desk.

"He was embarrassed! You were teasing him. If you tell him you like him you might just get a different answer." The ever wise Zatanna said with Megan nodding her head eagerly. After a moment Artemis sighed and dropped face down on the bed. "Artemis?"

Artemis sat up and walked out simply saying that she was going to clear her head and think.

After the door closed the two waited a few seconds before continuing their conversation "So you know a spell to fix her hair?" Megan tried to clarify, Zatanna nodded "Then why didn't we tell her?"

"Because my dear Martian, now is not the time to intervene" Zatanna said mysteriously.

"Whe-" M'gann started.

"Only time will, only time will tell." As she said that she backed out of the room in a creepy manner.

Megan shook her head and muttered something about magicians spending too much time with little birds.

Boredom, all I can say is boredom. May or may not make it into a two-shot, who knows.
