A Grayson Selection (Young Justice- Chalant Fanfic)

Chapter Two

Weeks had passed and then it came. The day the royal family would be announcing who got to participate in Prince Richard's selection. I turned on my TV and heard them list off the representatives one by one. It seemed like ages until Bludhaven would be announced.

"And for the Bludhaven representative, we have... Miss Zatanna Zatara!"

I couldn't even process the words I just heard. I actually had a chance at helping my family now! As I was squealing in excitement, the house phone started ringing.

"Hello is this the residence of Miss Zatanna Zatara?"

"Yes, this is she speaking."

"Oh lovely! As the Bludhaven representative, you will be escorted away to Gotham Castle at the end of this week. You will need to pack basic necessities such as a toothbrush, but no clothes of your own or cellphones will be allowed. The castle will provide you with clothing for your time spent during the Selection. Is this understood?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Perfect! We shall see you at the end of the week. Goodbye now."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up on the phone call, I went to go tell my dad the news. He seemed worried but understood that it was in Mom's best interest. He helped me pack all the essentials including pen and paper so I could write him when I could.

After I finished packing, I went to go call up my best friend Artemis. I saw her name get announced as the Star City representative and I was so excited we would be together.

"Artemis!! Congratulations on being the Star City representative!"

"Thank you Miss Bludhaven representative!"

"Oh my goodness! I'm so excited we get to be together in this. Although I'm fairly surprised that you entered and didn't tell me about it."

"In my defense I'm only doing this because I was forced to. And you didn't tell me you were entering either!"

"Oh yeah, my bad."

Artemis didn't know about my mother's condition and it was best if no one else found out.

"Anyways, I have to go now but I'll see you at Gotham Castle!"

"Alright bye!"

With the thoughts of the Selection running around in my head, it soon focused on the main reason for it: Prince Richard. He was fairly attractive, but rumor has it he isn't the kindest. Hopefully this prince isn't a royal pain like I've heard.
