"We're heading out!" Artemis called to the boys as the girls walked to the Zeta tubes.
"Alright!" Apollo replied. "Have fun!"
The girls walked through the streets of Happy Harbor, the cool March air blowing. It was a really nice evening, and the girls were taking advantage of it. They were going out to dinner, then going to watch a movie (Tangled, which the girls wanted to see and the guys didn't), then getting icecream.
Artemis fiddled with her phone. She had an awkward feeling. She'd had a panic attack not long before they had left, and was still suffering the aftereffects. She was grateful that her friends knew about her family now, it helped with explaining her attacks and nightmares.
"Girl, are you ok?" Karen asked her.
"We can always reschedule if you're not feeling up to it." Raquel added.
Artemis shook her head. "I'm good. I'll get back to myself eventually."
"You sure?" Zatanna asked.
Artemis stomped her foot. "I'm sure!" She yelled, angry. Then she realized that she was acting like a toddler. "I'm fine. Sorry for yelling."
"It's ok," Megan assured her. "We all know your anger management abilities can use some work."
Artemis glared at her. "They do not."
The others raised eyebrows. "Girl, you almost threw a temper tantrum like a two year old just because we asked you if you were ok." Raquel said. "You might be a spitfire, but that doesn't mean that you can throw a fit."
Artemis laughed. "Ok, ok, you're right. I need to work on that. But, I'm hungry, so let's just go eat something."
"You and Wally really are soulmates," Megan said.
"I have a boyfriend!"
"We've never met him," Karen pointed out. "And you next to never talk about him. All I know is that he's an old friend of yours and Apollo's, is brunet, hot, a total jock, just turned eighteen, and goes on dates with you all the time."
Artemis shrugged. "How much more do you need to know?"
"Not much, but we'd still like to meet him!"
"If I introduced him to you, would you stop pestering me about getting together with Wally?"
"Probably not," Zatanna said cheerily.
"Thank you for your honesty." Arty said sarcastically.
"You're welcome."
They got to the café and ate, then saw the movie.
"We are so forcing the boys to watch that," Raquel said after, taking a bite of her chocolate and caramel icecream.
"Yep," Artemis agreed. Then her eyes widened. "Sh**."
"What?" Zee asked, taking another bite of cookie dough.
"I think I've found a nickname that my brothers can use against me."
Karen laughed. "Oh, you're never gonna escape the nickname Rapunzel now."
Artemis groaned and took another bite of icecream. "If that happens, no amount of mocha chip in the world will be able to make me un-annoyed."
They all laughed. "How about strawberry?" Megan asked, taking a bite of her strawberry icecream.
"I love strawberry, but it's just not as good as mocha chip."
"You crazies are forgetting about the true heaven of icecream: mint chocolate chip and French vanilla combined," Karen said teasingly.
That started a playful argument about which icecream was the best, which slowly got more and more heated until Megan yelled at them to shut up through the mind link. The yelling stopped and Megan calmly said aloud, "Everyone has a right to their own opinion. I can't help it if all of you are wrong." Everyone laughed, and they went back to happily talking.
