Chapter 10: Gotham Fairgrounds
(Barbara was home and she was asleep again. Jim came home wondering if Barbara was home and he took a peek in her room and she was there sleeping. He smiled and went to kiss her forehead then he went to his room. Morning came and Barbara was at school and flyers were everywhere about the fairgrounds.)
Barbara: (Thoughts) "Wow, there are flyers everywhere. I guess everyone will be attending to go. I know I will be there." (Frankie rolled into the hallway with her wheelchair and she saw Barbara.)
Frankie: "Hey, Babs!" (Barbara waved at her smiling.)
Barbara: "Hey, Frankie. How are you?"
Frankie: "I'm doing great. You?"
Barbara: "I'm feeling fine."
Frankie: "So, are you going to the festival tonight?"
Barbara: "By seeing these flyers everywhere, I think I'll go."
Frankie: "Good because I'm going too." (Barbara's eyebrows curved upwards.)
Barbara: "Are you serious?"
Frankie: "Yep, I already got my ticket in my pocket. Where's yours?" (Barbara scratches behind her neck.)
Barbara: "Uhh, I don't have one."
Frankie: "What? Well, luckily I have another ticket. Here." (Barbara puts her hands out in front of her.)
Barbara: "Oh, no. No, no. I don't want to take it."
Frankie: "Come on, I didn't just get two tickets so you could just be lonely by yourself. Please."
Barbara: "No, I can't accept this."
Frankie: "Girl, will you just take the damn ticket?" (Barbara rolled her eyes.)
Barbara: "Ugh, fine. If I get beat up because I stole someone's ticket, I'm blaming this on you."
Frankie: "No, you won't. You don't think I'm a pain."
Barbara: "Yeah, a pain in the a**." (Suddenly, a crunch sound was heard and Barbara cringed at the pain.)
Barbara: "Ow! Frankie, your stupid wheelchair ran over my shoe!"
Frankie: "Oops, sorry about that." (Barbara's eyes narrowed and she smiled.)
Barbara: "Oh, you're so gonna get it."
Frankie: "No, I won't because I'm faster than you."
Barbara: "In a wheelchair? I would like to see you run fast out of that wheelchair."
Frankie: "Ooh, insulting me because I'm crippled, huh? Just try to catch me." (Barbara was running around campus just trying to catch Frankie's wheelchair.)
Barbara: (Panting) "I'll...get you! And...I won't stop....until....I...do!"
Frankie: "What's the matter, Babs? Getting tired?" (Barbara tries to push herself to go faster and she saw Dick Grayson walking towards her.)
Barbara: "Whoa!" (She hits the brakes the heels of her sneakers and suddenly stopped Dick's chest.)
Dick: "Whoa, careful there, speedster. You can cause an accident." (Frankie stopped and looked at Barbara talking to Dick.)
Barbara: "Whoops. I'm sorry about that, Dick. Frankie and I was just playing tag."
Dick: "I can tell. You have leaves in your hair." (Barbara looked up and saw leaves everywhere in her hair. She was kind of embarrassed.)
Barbara: "Ahh, stupid trees." (She tried to get them out and Dick laughed.)
Dick: "Here, let me help you." (He took out the leaves carefully and slowly. Frankie rose her eyebrows and hid behind the tree.)
Frankie: (Whispers) "Ooh, alright, now. Go ahead, Barbara. I see you." (Barbara smiled and blushed a little.)
Barbara: "Thank you, Dick."
Dick: "Anytime. Just one more." (She looked up and tries to find the last one.)
Barbara: "Where is it?" (Dick leaned forward and kissed her cheek.)
Dick: "Right there." (Barbara giggled while she was turning red.)
Barbara: "That's all of them?"
Dick: "Yep. Just about finished."
Barbara: "Great. Um, I'm planning to go to the Gotham Fairgrounds tonight. Are you coming?"
Dick: "To see Ashes On Sunday?"
Barbara: "Yes, Dinah will be singing her heart out for this one and Frankie and I were wondering...well...I was wondering if..." (She was really nervous that her hands were shaking and Dick grabbed them.)
Dick: "You're wondering if I would come. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'm going, but if I'm having fun with you, Barbara." (He puts her red strand behind her ear and Barbara cleared her throat.)
Barbara: "Yeah, so...I'll see you tonight, then."
Dick: "Sounds fun. See you later." (Dick slowly lets her hands go and went to the gymnasium.)
Barbara: "Dick, wait!" (Dick turned around and faced her.)
Dick: "Yes?"
Barbara: "I...I..." (She had to think about what she was going to say, but she was stuck on her words. Dick was concerned about what she was going to say.)
Dick: "Come on, don't be shy. Just say it. Say what you have to say." (Barbara's brain was all jumbled up, so she just erased it instead of thinking about it.)
Barbara: "Ugh, nevermind. My brain's are all mixed up right now."
Dick: "Oh, okay. I'm about to head out towards the gymnasium to start my exercises. Try not to think too hard, so your brain energy will strain and burst into flames before the festival." (Dick started to jog towards the gym and Barbara scratched her head.)
Barbara: "Yeah, that's if I have any brain juice left." (Frankie went to her and saw Dick enter the gym. Frankie stared at Barbara and Barbara stared back feeling a little awkward.)
Barbara: "Uhhh, Frankie? Why are you grinning at me like that?"
Frankie: "It's called excitement, girl."
Barbara: "By grinning into my soul right now? It's terrifying and it's making me uncomfortable. Please, stop doing that."
Frankie: "Barbara and Dick sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
Barbara: "Okay, Frankie. We're not in kindergarten."
Frankie: "Barbara, I see you with your bad self. Go, girl. You got the boy of your dreams."
Barbara: "Cut it out."
Frankie: "No, I'm serious. Haven't you noticed? Every girl that wants to get with Dick, he always push them away because he thinks that you is the most attractive girl in this entire campus!"
Barbara: "Well, I'm not the only one who's attractive."
Frankie: "Hey, I said he's attracted to you and only you. Nobody else included. He wants you to be his girlfriend, Babs. Can't you see that with your own eyes? I know I'm not blind."
Barbara: "No, you're not and it's not like that. We're just best friends."
Frankie: "Mm-hm. Right. Best friends, you say. Okay, then."
Barbara: "We are, Frankie."
Frankie: "Okay, okay. No need to get your cape in a twist."
Barbara: "Really?"
Frankie: "What?"
Barbara: "I'll just forget you said that."
Frankie: "Okay, whatever. So, what were you going to say back there?"
Barbara: "Excuse me?"
Frankie: "You know, Babs. To Dick Grayson before he left?"
Barbara: "Once again with this?"
Frankie: "Yes, what were you trying to say to him before he left?"
Barbara: "Do I really have to say this to you?"
Frankie: "If you want to go to that festival. Otherwise, you're not leaving tonight unless you tell me right here and right now."
Barbara: "Are you kidding me?"
Frankie: "Nope, now spill it!"
Barbara: "Alright, fine. I was going to say that I want to go to the gym with him, but I was afraid to speak to him about that."
Frankie: "Really, Babs? You can go with him whenever you like, too. I know I would!"
Barbara: "You would skip class? For real?"
Frankie: "Come on. Who wouldn't want to spend time with the hottest guy on campus in the gym? Girl, you better go in there and get you some manly biceps."
Barbara: "Frankie, what about Ms. Charlotte?"
Frankie: "Don't worry about her. I'll take your place."
Barbara: "You'll take my place?"
Frankie: "Yeah. I will take your place."
Barbara: "But will she believe you?"
Frankie: "Trust me, Barbara. I got you covered good. Now, get going to the gym."
Barbara: "Wow, thanks, Frankie."
Frankie: "I'll make an excuse for you, but you owe me tropical smoothie when we get to the festival."
Barbara: "You got yourself a deal."
Frankie: "Great. I'm going to hold you to that."
Barbara: "Frankie, I said that I will get you one."
Frankie: "Oh, you better and I hope it got actual fruit inside, too."
Barbara: "You know it. At the bottom of the cup as always."
Frankie: "Yeah, that's how I like my smoothies. Well, have fun. See you tonight."
Barbara: "Same goes to you, Frankie." (She smiled and Frankie went towards Barbara's classroom. Barbara sprinted towards the gymnasium and Dick was on the horizontal gymnastics bar doing flips.)
Barbara: "So, having a great time with that horizontal bar?" (Dick was upside down with one leg hanging on the bar, the other dangling underneath it. He looked and saw Barbara leaning against the door. He smiled at her and Barbara looked at the mat below him.)
Barbara: "Watch this." (Dick watched her carefully while hanging upside down with his arms crossed. Barbara had a good running start and nice momentum that she did 3 backflips, a smooth cartwheel and a twisted backflip to stick the landing with a little split in the end.)
Dick: "Wow, I am impressed, Babs. Very good job."
Barbara: "Thank you." (She got up and walked towards Dick.)
Barbara: "Doesn't your head hurt when you're upside down like that?" (Dick shook his head while his eyes were closed.)
Dick: "Nope. I'm used to this."
Barbara: "So, you're telling me that you have one of these at home?"
Dick: "Correct."
Barbara: "Oh, no. Do you have a bed because if the horizontal bar is your bed, you might as well live like a vampire if you sleep upside down."
Dick: "But that's the best part about hanging upside down. Your brain juices inside can enhance your thinking abilities. Makes it sharper and your instincts become clear as a diamond." (He taps his temples at his head.)
Barbara: "Well, I don't know that it will make your instincts sharper or clearer, but that's ridiculous."
Dick: "Hm. Maybe that's because you never tried it."
Barbara: "Yes, I have."
Dick: "Okay, then. Tell me where you have done it."
Barbara: "Here on campus."
Dick: "Yeah, but not long enough."
Barbara: "How do you know?"
Dick: "Because you always head to class early. Look, after lunch, I go here to think about my thoughts before I head home."
Barbara: "Wait, you hang upside down on this bar just to think?"
Dick: "Yes. Not only do I do my stunts, but I also think when I'm just hanging upside down."
Barbara: "That's actually interesting."
Dick: "Indeed. Come here next to me." (He sat on the bar right side up.)
Barbara: "Okay, how do I get up there?"
Dick: "You jump. Matter of fact, let me lift you."
Barbara: "Lift me? No way."
Dick: "You're not afraid of heights, are you?"
Barbara: "To be honest, a little."
Dick: "Don't worry, you won't fall. I promise, but hold on."
Barbara: "Wait, what do you..." (Dick used his strong legs to lift her body off the ground slowly.)
Barbara: "Whoa!"
Dick: "What's wrong? I'm not crushing you, am I?" (He kept going upwards with his arms and legs like a machine.)
Barbara: "No, you're just really freaking strong! Have you been working out ever since you came here?"
Dick: "Yep, everytime after lunch, I go here and start burning."
Barbara: "Geez, so eating cafeteria food will just go through you like it's nothing. That's amazing."
Dick: "Why, thank you. I exercise every single day. Mornings, evenings, even nights."
Barbara: "No wonder you're so athletic."
Dick: "I get it from my parents." (He sets her down on the bar while they were dangling their legs.)
Barbara: "I can tell. Do you miss them?" (Dick thinks about them while he hangs upside down, then Barbara follows his lead.)
Dick: "Every. Damn. Second. I just wished that they were still here."
Barbara: "They would be so happy if they saw you again."
Dick: "I know, but they're in a better place now, where they can never have to suffer ever again in this cruel city."
Barbara: "I get that. Criminals are taking over the streets and only vigilantes can stop them from terrorizing the city."
Dick: "Like Batman and Robin?"
Barbara: "Also Batgirl? Right. They're the city's only hope they've got. Without them, this city will be nothing, but ashes and I think this horizontal bar is getting to me now. My brain feels like it's enhancing."
Dick: "See what I mean?"
Barbara: "You were right. I should've agreed to join this class a long time ago, but you know me. I'm not a full time gymnast or an athlete."
Dick: "Ah, I understand because you're a reader."
Barbara: "Exactly. Wait, who told you that?"
Dick: "A friend told me."
Barbara: "It was Batgirl, wasn't it?"
Dick: "Yep. She told me, actually Robin spoke to me about Batgirl."
Barbara: "Hm. That's probably the reason."
Dick: "Yeah." (Barbara looked at the time and it was lunchtime.)
Barbara: "Oh, geez."
Dick: "What is it?"
Barbara: "It's time for lunch. I think I better go there."
Dick: "Well, have fun at lunch." (Barbara tried to get herself upwards, but ended up falling. She yelled and Dick grabbed her.)
Barbara: "Ahhh!"
Dick: "I got you!" (They both landed with a thud on the mat with Dick's arms around her waist. They both had their eyes closed and they panted hard.)
Dick: (Panting) "Are you okay?"
Barbara: (Panting) "Yeah, I'm good. Luckily, the mat broke our fall and we didn't break any bones."
Dick: (Panting) "That would've been the worst."
Barbara: (Panting) "I agree." (Then they both began to laugh at each other and they looked at each other in the eyes afterwards. Barbara noticed that Dick was on top of her and Barbara's knee was rubbing against his torso.)
Barbara: "Um...Dick?" (He was sweating and he looked in her eyes deeply.)
Dick: "Yeah?"
Barbara: "I'm starving. Hungry. Need food." (Dick's mind begins to come back to reality.)
Dick: "Oh! Right, my bad. Here." (He holds his hand out and she grabs it. He pulls her up on her feet and she brushes herself off.)
Barbara: "Thanks for letting me hangout with you. Literally. Hehe. It was fun."
Dick: "We should do it again someday."
Barbara: "We should."
Dick: "Well, see you tonight."
Barbara: "Bye." (Barbara waved at Dick and he smiled back with his dashing looks. Four hours later, Barbara and Frankie arrived at the Gotham Fairgrounds, excited.)
Barbara: "You see? I told you I'd buy you a tropical smoothie."
Frankie: "You weren't kidding at all, Babs. I should bring you around to places more often."
Barbara: "What? So, I could buy you more exotic gifts and souvenirs? I think I'll pass on that."
Frankie: "Well, too bad."
Barbara: "Damn it." (Frankie laughed and saw the stage.)
Frankie: "Hey, is that where Ashes On Sunday is?"
Barbara: "Yep. Let's go over there." (They both went over to where the people were gathering around. In backstage, Dinah and her crew were getting ready for their big night.)
Dinah: "Are we good? Microphone, okay?"
Band Member: "Yeah, you should be good to go, Dinah!"
Dinah: "Awesome. We should be ready to rock within five minutes." (They saw another band called the New Radicals pass them to go on stage.)
Gregg: "Hey, you're Dinah, right?"
Dinah: "Yeah, that's me and you are?"
Gregg: "Gregg Alexander. Lead singer of the New Radicals."
Lord Byron: "Sweeeet..."
Dinah: "Sick name. Make the fans feel like they really belong. Warm them up and make them feel free."
Gregg: "Yeah, the same goes to you." (They fist-bumped each other.)
Dinah: "Good luck."
Gregg: "We don't need it." (The New Radicals ran out on stage. The music started to play and Gregg got to the microphone.)
Gregg: "Hello, Burnside! How are you doing tonight!" (The crowd cheers with excitement.)
Frankie: "It's not Ashes On Sunday, Babs, but it's a start!"
Barbara: "You're right and I bet they're going next!"
Frankie: "You know it, girl!" (She was waving her arms around. Gregg started to sing.)
Gregg: (Singing) "Wake up, kids. We got the dreamers' disease. Age fourteen, we got you down on your knees. So polite, we're busy still saying please! Yeah, come on!" (The crowd starts to dance and Dinah saw the New Radicals playing on stage.)
Dinah: "Wow, they're actually good."
Ditto: "Yeah. We should like totally be friends with them."
Dinah: "I don't know about that, but..." (The manager came out to check if the band is ready or not.)
Heathcliff: "Alright, rockstars. I want the crowd going wild when they see you on stage. We need huge wads of cash if we want to go on tour to Los Angeles!"
Dinah: "Los Angeles?"
Heathcliff: "Uh, did you not hear me? Yes, Los Angeles! Aren't you excited?"
Dinah: "Yeah, but...I love it here." (The manager looked at the band and stared back at her all quiet and then laughed.)
Heathcliff: "Ahhhahahahahahahaha... (Inhales)...are you serious?" (Paloma looked at Dinah crossing her arms.)
Paloma: "Uh...does it look like she's laughing with you, dude?"
Ditto: "Yeah, she's like totally not agreeing with you, man."
Heathcliff: "What? Dinah Lance, you can't possibly want to stay here in this trash hole of a city, do you?"
Dinah: "This trash hole is my home, Ray. I can't abandoned it! I have friends who really care about me and you want me to go all the way to Los Angeles just to play a few songs and get drunk and high? Are you delusional?"
Heathcliff: "Excuse me, but you agreed to work with me, Dinah. You signed the contract. Which means, you don't have a choice, but to go. So, you can kiss all your fans and your friends goodbye because we're leaving after we finish here." (Dinah's eyes were wide.)
Dinah: "What?"
Heathcliff: "Oh, yeah. We're making mega millions of dollars when we go around the world. We're never coming back to this place ever again. We're going to be living fancy. A penthouse, mansions, hot vehicles and of course parties all dipped in 24k pure gold." (Heathcliff shivered with delight and happiness.)
Dinah: "So, you're going to make us work hard, just so you can roll around in money?"
Heathcliff: "Hmm...yeah, pretty much. Step one: make music, step two: go to Los Angeles, and step three: make it rain, baby!"
Dinah: "Look, they can go with you, but count me out."
Lord Byron: "No way, we're not leaving you behind, Dinah. We're a family."
Ditto: "Yeah, and who can we find a better singer than you, Dinah?"
Dinah: "Trust me, I'm sure you can find a replacement for me."
Paloma: "Are you sure?"
Dinah: "Go on, without me. Live large and be happy. I'm staying where I belong. Here is my home and here is where I'll stay."
Heathcliff: "Dinah, if you don't come with us after this is done, you're done. So, are you in or you out? Think about that when you're finished singing. I gotta go make a quick phone call." (Dinah rolled her eyes and looked at the New Radicals still playing the same song. Barbara was dancing with the rest of the crowd.)
Frankie: "This is awesome!"
Barbara: "Sure is, Frankie!" (She laughed and someone tapped her shoulder and it was Dick who surprised her.)
Dick: "You mind if I dance with you?" (Barbara turned and laughed when she saw that Dick Grayson came.)
Barbara: "Hey!"
Dick: "Hey, Babs!" (She hugged him and Dick saw Frankie sitting in her wheelchair.)
Dick: "Hey, Frankie."
Frankie: "Hey, Dick? What's up?"
Dick: "Nothing much. It's a pretty big festival."
Frankie: "With a lot of people? I feel you, man." (She moved away from Barbara and Dick while she squealed with excitement.)
Barbara: "So...I'm glad you're here, Dick."
Dick: "So am I. I brought you something." (He got her a candy apple wrapped in plastic.)
Barbara: "A candy apple?"
Dick: "Yes, I heard you like candy apples and I bought you one. Do you like it?" (She grabbed it from his hand.)
Barbara: "Of course I do. Way better when I'm near you."
Dick: "Yeah. Do you want to dance, now?"
Barbara: "I would love to dance." (Dick smiled gently and softly chuckled.)
Dick: "Oh, let's see if my mom and dad taught me well."
Barbara: "I'm sure you'll do fine." (Dick twirled her around and Barbara was impressed by her moves.)
Barbara: "Well, well, well. Look at you, pro."
Dick: "Hehe. What? I'm not that good."
Barbara: "At least you're trying. I'm having a good time and you're having a good time. I'd say you impressed me in your rhythmic patterns. It's like following a wave."
Dick: "Really?"
Barbara: "Really. I'm proud of you." (Dick chuckled and blushed a little.)
Dick: "Well, you can thank my parents for that."
Barbara: "I'm pretty sure that they can hear you from above right now." (Dick looked up in the sky and smiled.)
Dick: "Yeah, I know."
Barbara: "And I know that they are very happy that you're here with me. It's someone who you can trust and never let you down."
Dick: "Like you?" (Barbara nodded slowly and gently smiled while she looked at his smile.)
Barbara: "Exactly. Just like reading between the lines."
Dick: "That's funny."
Barbara: "Why's that?"
Dick: "I could have sworn that Batgirl said something similar about reading books." (Barbara really had to think hard about what he just said and she finally pieced it together in her mind. Suddenly, she realized he thinks that Barbara is Batgirl and Dick was thinking the exact same thing.)
Dick: "No way...." (They hugged each other closely.)
Dick: (Whispers) "You? You're Batgirl?!"
Barbara: (Whispers) "You're Robin? The Robin that worked with Batman?"
Barbara: (Thoughts) "Well, duh, moron! How could you not notice the hair, Babs? It was clearly Dick the entire time and you just now noticed it at the last minute? You moron, you stupid, stupid moron!"
Dick: (Thoughts) "You idiot! How did you not know that it was Barbara the whole time? Are you that clueless? Use your big brain for crissakes! Or matter of fact, read some books!"
Dick: (Whispers) "Yeah, obviously."
Barbara and Dick: "You should've told me! Jinx! Damn!"
Dick: "Well, I couldn't because it wasn't the right..."
Barbara: "Moment? Yeah. Part of the code, I know."
Dick: "You know?"
Barbara: "Yeah, Frankie told me."
Dick: "Ah, that makes sense."
Barbara: "Yeah. It does. This was awkwardly strange."
Dick: "I agree. Still pretend like this didn't happen?"
Barbara: "Nope. Too late. The damage is already done."
Dick: "S***."
Barbara: "Language, Dick."
Dick: "My bad." (The song was over and the crowd cheers especially Dick and Barbara. Dinah faced the band.)
Dinah: "Alright. Let's make the crowd go crazy."
Heathcliff: "Make me proud, guys!"
Ditto: "Let's totally rock this festival."
Paloma: "Let's do it!" (The band ran out on the stage.)
Gregg: "Rock out, Ashes On Sunday!" (They ran back behind the curtains and watched the guitarist started to play the song.)
Dick: "Ashes On Sunday! Yeah!"
Barbara: "Whoo!"
Dinah: "Burnside, are you ready to rock?!" (The crowd cheers loud as the thunder.)
Dinah: "Alright, here we go!" (Suddenly, electricity started to surge on the powerlines and it struck the power generators. All of a sudden, there was a blackout. The crowds' cheer died down in silence.)
Dick: "And now the Ashes On Sunday spirit has died down in the depths of hell."
Barbara: "What's going on?"
Dick: "Something is wrong." (Frankie found Barbara and Dick.)
Frankie: "Yeah, no crap, Sherlock."
Barbara: "Frankie, thank god you're not hurt."
Frankie: "Same to you, guys. We have a huge problem, but we need to discuss it somewhere else where no one can hear us."
Dick: "I got just the place. Inside an abandoned tent."
Barbara: "That works." (They ran went to the tent while Ashes On Sunday were testing out their instruments.)
Ditto: "Aw, man. My guitar is totally like blown out!"
Paloma: "Yeah and my keyboard stopped working!" (The lights suddenly blew out and some people screamed in terror.)
Dinah: "Everyone, remain calm! It's going to be alright! It's just a blackout and we're going to try to fix it! Just hang tight!" (More lights blew out and the drum kit got set on fire. Lord Byron was panicking.)
Lord Byron: "Fire, fire! Help, a fire!" (He tried to get out, but his foot was stuck in the wiring.)
Lord Byron: "Help me! Somebody, help me!" (The crowd yells and screams even more in horror. Electricity was flashing and striking everywhere at the festival. Lord Byron was still yelling for help and Dinah wanted to help, but she was afraid if the band will hate her if she did. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the microphone. She inhaled a deep breath and screeched into the microphone as loud as a canary bird. The crowd covered their ears and the fire went out. She stopped and she dropped the microphone on the ground because she was being stared down by everybody.)
Dinah: "Byron....are you...okay?" (Lord Byron got up and dusted herself off.)
Lord Byron: "Yeah, I'm fine. Except my eardrums are blown out!" (She got upset with Dinah.)
Dinah: "Are you kidding me? I saved your life!"
Paloma: "Yeah, but our eardrums, Dinah! They're bleeding from the inside and out!"
Ditto: "You're totally like not our friend anymore, you freakazoid! Like get off our stage!"
Dinah: "Look, I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."
Heathcliff: "It's your fault for making us look bad."
Dinah: "But, my family..."
Heathcliff: "Well, too bad. You should have agreed to come with us tonight in Los Angeles to grab yourself some money, but since you didn't, your family will end up being starving to death. It's your problem, not ours. I'm sorry, but you're different from the rest of us."
Man #1: "Get off the stage, you screeching witch!"
Man #4: "Witch!"
Woman #2: "Ashes sucks!"
Crowd: "BOOOOO!!!" (Dinah felt so hurt inside.)
Paloma: "Dinah, you need to leave. I'm sorry, but it's best this way. You deserve this kind of hate." (Dinah was about to cry, but she didn't and she felt fire inside of her lighting up.)
Dinah: "Fine. I don't need you. Have fun in stupid Los Angeles." (She stormed off and walked towards the sidewalk and began fast walking. Back to Frankie, Barbara and Dick in the tent.)
Frankie: "Okay, so. We got a problem. A woman just been struck by lightning tonight while she was doing a video about electrons for scientific people like myself."
Barbara: "Ouch, that sounds really painful."
Dick: "Yeah, I agree. I don't think that I want to be electrocuted."
Frankie: "Good, because I need Batgirl and Robin to stop her."
Dick: "Of course you need them."
Barbara: "I know you don't like it, Dick, but we got to do it for the city's sake."
Dick: "I know, but still. I don't want to be barbecued." (Frankie looked in the sky and smiled.)
Frankie: "Looks like the spotlight is on you two." (They both looked at the sky as well and saw the huge bat symbol illuminating the clouds.)
Barbara: "You mean the bat signal?"
Frankie: "Oh, whatever. Now, get going!"
Dick: "You heard her. Let's go."
Barbara: "Right behind you." (They both ran to where the signal was located and Frankie sighed as they were running.)
Frankie: (Sighs) "They're so perfect for each other. Pfft. Of course, they are. What am I saying?" (She laughed to herself while moving towards the funnel cake stand.)
