Jade got her heart broken by a boy. Now she's bf-less. Artemis feels sorry for her sister and is trying to comfort her as best she can. "You'll find a another boy, heck, it's college. You'll have lots of loves, losses, and heartaches," Artemis tells her. It doesn't make her feel any better and she goes off for some nice herbal tea at the coffee shop.

Meanwhile, Cara has found a cute guy as well. Apparently, Brainiac Five "now Fiversome" goes to the same college as her. He's taking the class for super articulates and is hoping to get a Masters by the end of his fifth year. She's just glad he's there. Now they can do college together and marry afterwards. For that, she is overjoyed. She's been waiting to marry him since they were last in the future together. After that, they came back to finish college since neither ever finished despite his super intelligence. He now has a level 15 intelligence level. She's proud of him for that and everything else. The rest of Fivesome's team is also at the college minus the older members of his team who have since retired. He has an almost completely new team now. Bouncing Boy was the first boy on the moon despite being so fat. He had to have a custom rocket built to fit him. Cara doesn't care about that though, all she cares about is that she's back with her beloved Brainiac.

Meanwhile, Artemis has chased her sister all the way to the coffee shop. She gets a latte and then they sit down and talk. Like sisters do, one spills and the other listens. Jade's still the one spilling about all her boy troubles. Artemis is still the one listening to it and trying without success to give her advice. Jade, after that talk, realizes she's late for class as does Artemis. They head back to campus as fast as they can and barely make it on time. They're still kept after class for being late. "Now you know how I felt," teases Jade. "Humph!" Artemis responds.

When they are let out of their class at last, they still have an hour before their next one. What luck on their part?! Jade finds another boy named Derrick. He's one of the good guys. He just happens to be the son of Ironman. He even asks Jade if she wants to be his gf-his girlfriend. She says yes. When he calls his mom and dad and tells them, their only response is: we're proud of you. His dad's add on: I've always had this thing for intelligent partially rebellious partly persistent women. You remind me of me. Jade is so thrilled to have a new boyfriend she can hardly conceal it. Artemis is happy for her sister. "Good luck and congrats," she says then goes off to find Wally and Meghan. They have advanced mathematics to get to. Admittedly, it's Wally's least favorite college coarse. Alas, he has to take it. The other Flashes are making him. "We took it in college too," they tell him. "It's how we are so good at what we do. That and track class in high school." Hard to live up to expectations like that, especially one so lazy yet sceptic and so fast like Wally.
