It's Saturday the day of the banquet , "hmm guess I'll start getting ready" even though it's 11:00 in the morning. The party doesn't start till 7:00. But I can't stop thinking about the joker. I have so many questions like how did he escape? Is he gonna be here tonight?

When I think of him I get this weird feeling I like him but I'm still afraid of him. I go to the bathroom and shower.Afterwards I go inside my closet to change. The inside of my closet is an array of black and red clothing, "I really should get different colors sometime" I giggle.  I put on the only blue shirt I have on and some black jeans.

Then I realized " Oh crap I have to work today , Sally's gonna be mad at me". I didn't worry that much though,  I only had to work 4 hours today. I run down my squeaky hardboard stairs trying not to wake my mom up. Walk outside and I see my aunts navy blue bug. I hop into the car " Sorry I was late". "You're fine Harley I don't think we have a lot to do today since the banquet is tonight" said aunt Sally.

I turn the knob on the radio to Gotham News. " Still no sign of the joker since he escaped last night but Chief Gordon and the police are on a search so stay in, now the traffic". Well I guess he is actually missing. We pull up in the parking spot and walk into the building. "Hello Harley how are you" said the front desk person cheerfully. I smile at her and run to my patience room I'm too excited.

When I walk in my patient is Doctor Crane. He stares. At me without even blinking his crystal blue eyes. When I turn around he re adjusts his circular glasses.

"Hello my name is .. Harley Quinzell I know"
Well I don't know how he knew because I was just assigned to him today.
"Okay Mr. Crane tell me why you're here today".
"It's Scarecrow and I did nothing wrong just used some illegal hallucinating drugs to get my way".
"Well maybe you shouldn't be doing that and actually be the doctor you got a degree for".

I said as I walked out of the room. I have no time for this nonsense I have to get home and get ready.

I get home about 5:30.

I plug in my curling wand as I sit down on my white vanity. I curled my whole head which took about an hour. I went in my closet and changed into the pink floral dress and put my pink heels on. I look in the mirror "Wow , I actually feel pretty" something I haven't said in a long time.

We arrive at the party the banquet hall is grand. It looks like an old Paris opera hall. With all of the intricate designs of angels everywhere. For a moment I thought I was in heaven.

"Where's my favorite niece"?  I hear my uncle say so I turn around looking for him and then he comes from behind me and gives me the biggest hug. "Ahh I'm right here" I say as he's squeezing me. "I have someone I want ya to meet" he say anxiously. He brings over this beautiful woman with brown hair twisted in an bun with honey brown eyes and wearing a beautiful emerald green dress. "This here is Rachel she's my girlfriend."  I'm so excited for him because he's been lonely for quite some time.

"Hello miss Harley, Harvey has told me a lot about you".  "Well  I'm happy to meet you Rachel I hope we can be friends." "I know we are" she says as she takes my hand, "let's get some food. I get some food and sit down next to Rachel. When across the room I see a man in a tuxedo suit walk in with wavy shoulder length brown hair. And when I see his face I'm astonished he has scars that starts from the corner of his mouth.

A man walks up to me and Rachel. "Hello Rachel". Rachel turns around in surprise to see a handsome young man with dark brown hair and a tuxedo . " Hello Bruce , let me introduce you to my new friend Harley Quinnzell."

He looked over at me " hello Harley nice to meet you ", "Nice to meet you too I hope we can be friends, but I have to go to the bathroom." I said as I ran into the bathroom. I went in and locked my self in the stall. Did I really just meet Bruce Wane, and who is that man I saw with the scars?

I wash my hands and freshen up. When I walk out everyone is at the dance floor except for the guy with the scars. I walk casually to the corner and just stare at the people dancing. Waiting for him to notice me. It's been 5 minutes and he's still in the corner.

I walk up to him " You don't like dancing huh". "I would only if I had someone to dance with". He laughed as I giggled. "What ya here for anyway?" I say. "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?" He said as he took my hand and we walked to the dance floor when the song " As the World falls down by David Bowie comes on. I put my hand in his and he puts his hand on my hip as I put mine on his shoulder and we danced.

"What's your name"

" Jack , jack is my real name"

" I feel like I've seen you before"

"I don't know you might have beautiful" 
Then he kissed me on the cheek and vanished. That's when it hit me.

" I just danced with the joker"
Then my uncle went up and said his speech.
