   Harley was sitting on the couch watching some of her cartoons. Joker was in his office making more plans of how to fool Batman. "Harley!! Put that television lower! I'm trying to focus!" Joker said in frustration. Harley couldn't hear him but she felt like she had too so she did. She hated it when she couldn't express herself and put the volume lower on the TV. "What's the problem?" She asked herself. She wants to speak up but she knows if she does it won't end so well.
   She then heard Mr. J's footsteps coming down the stairs. He saw her sitting on the couch with her legs inside one of his shirts that she loved from him. She was in a little ball. Even though he got mad at the point that she was stretching it out it was kinda cute. He walks towards her. "What are ya doin Harls?" She looks at him with a smirk. "Nothin much Puddin. Just watchin TV. What are ya up too?" Joker looks at her also with a smirk. "You know what I'm doin baby. Don't act like you don't." They both were flirting but Harley was playing hard to get. "You look comfortable." Joker says trying to make conversation.  "Yeah I am." Harley tried not too laugh. She wanted to see his reaction to see if he knew what she's doing. He looked at her and started to become a little frustrated. "Harls" Harley looks up at him. "Yes Mistah J?" She's starting to see that he's getting a little frustrated but she tries to see how much he could take of her little game. "Why are you acting like this?" Joker asks. "What do ya mean?" Harley says with a questionable look on her face. "Harley I'm warning you. You better stop whatever game you're tryin to play." Harley still looks "confused". "What are ya talkin about! I'm not playin a game on ya." Harley is still playing dumb but she knows that he knows what she means. He walks towards her and looks her right in the eye. "Stop playin dumb Harls. I know what you're tryin to do." She leans in. "I dunno what you're talkin about?" They look at each other for a good moment and then just like that she got his attention. He grabs her by the waist and pulls her in. He kisses her and she kisses back.
   They made out for a good moment until J pulled away. "What happened?!" Harley asked crossing her arms. Joker looks down at her. "Sorry baby but daddy has a lot too do." He gives her a pouty face. "What can be more important than what we just had?!" Joker shakes his finger. "Now Harls, you're lucky that you even got a few minutes with me. And don't raise your voice." Harley looks down with a pouty face. "Sorry Mistah J. I just- I just miss ya that's all. You've been so caught up with your work that ya haven't really been focusin on me. She raises her arms. "Not tryin to sound like I'm all about myself or anythin." She looks at him with a glum face. "I mean... don't ya miss me?" Joker looks at her and caresses her cheek. "Aww baby, of course I miss our little moments together but there's just some things that I've got to take care of." Harley starts to have tears in her eyes. "Yeah. And clearly they're more important than me. So just leave me alone." She looks down and tries to hold her tears back but there's no use. He looks at her with guilt and hugs her in his big arms. "I didn't know you felt this way Harls. Why didn't ya tell me?" Harley starts crying uncontrollably on his shoulder. "Be-because I-i know that ya w-wouldn't CARE!!" Joker holds her tight then grabs her chin. He wipes a tear from her cheek. "Baby, of course I care." She wipes her hand over her nose and sniffles. "It- it sure don't look like it" She looks down. "Well I do. And ya know what? I'll make a deal with ya. I will finish what I have to do and after that we can have some grape soda on ice with a bear skin rug. Does that sound good?" Harley looks up and gives a little smile. "O-Okay Puddin. I'll do that" He smiles back at her. "Okay baby. Now go upstairs and I'll be there in a bit." He helps Harley get up from the couch. She giggles and gives him a peck on the cheek. "Thanks Puddin. I love ya." Joker looks at her with a smile. "Love you too baby" She jumped for joy. He never really says that often but this time he did and it touched her heart. "See ya in a bit Puddin" She says biting her lip and walking up the stairs. Joker mumbles and laughs quietly. "What a dangerous little minx."
