A Grayson Selection (Young Justice- Chalant Fanfic)

Chapter Five

After Dick left the gardens, I soon followed suit and went back to my room. It wasn't long until everyone was getting called for dinner. I walked towards the dining area and sat down next to Artemis.

A red haired girl soon approached us and asked if she could sit with us.

"Of course you can! I'm Zatanna and this is Artemis!"

"Hi! I'm Megan, the Mars representative."

"Nice to meet you Megan!"

As the three of us continued talking and eating our dinner, the other girls busy doing the same, we ended up on the topic of the Prince of course.

"He seems nice enough, better than the rumors I've heard." Artemis said.

"Well I would hope so, he asked me out on a date today." I said.

"Wait, what??? He did? Ugh hello Megan! This is the Selection after all."

"Haha yeah but I'm sure it's not a big deal, he's probably asked a ton of girls on dates already."

"Zatanna! This is a big deal!" said Artemis.

"Ya!" said Megan. "It's still only the first day in the Selection. I bet that you're the first girl he's asked out of everyone."

"What?? No way."

And before I could further explain why I was definitely not the first girl he's asked, the royal family came to the dining room and began to make an announcement.

"Hello all. I am King Bruce."

"And I am Queen Selina."

"And we would like to welcome you all to Gotham Castle for Prince Dick's Selection."

"You ladies have already met Dick, but the rest of the family is here to make their introductions."

"I'm Prince Jason Todd."

"I am Prince Tim Drake. Pleasure to meet you all."

"I'm Prince Damian Wayne."

"And I am Princess Cassandra Cain."

"Alright now that the introductions are done, we're here to say that each of you will eventually have to spend a day with the entire family. This is just a way for the family to get used to a new family member. The day you are assigned to spend time with us will be in your rooms in a few weeks."

"Enjoy your dinner everyone!"

As the royal family left, the rest of the girls began gossiping about the prince and how hot he is. With the royal guards in the room, I took the time to actually look at them until I noticed a particular raven haired boy with a steely look staring at Megan.

"Megan, look! That guard over there is totally checking you out!"

"Who? What? Where?"

"That one right there! He's standing next to the African American one."

"Oh my gosh. What do I do??"

"Smile at him!"

"I can't do that! I'm here for the Selection, which means I'm here for the prince, not one of his guards. Plus I heard there are consequences for flirting with the guards."

"Oh really? Oh my gosh, I didn't know it was that serious."

"Ya, that's what I heard at least."

We then finished our dinners and went back to our rooms in hopes of getting a good night's sleep.

But I couldn't sleep at all. I was too excited for my date with Dick. I decided to walk out of my room and walk to the garden I was at earlier. I sat down on the bench and took in the fresh air.

A crashing sound reached my ears and I turned face to face to meet a green eyed ginger boy.

I was about to scream but he immediately put his hand over my mouth.

"Hush. I'm not here to hurt you, I'm Wally West. I'm Dick's best friend."
