A few days have passed, and everything has been going well. Right now, there was a beach full of many people as people were opening champagne bottles and were cheering as loud music was playing.

This was a party that Anne hosted in the beach, Carrie and Benjamin kept telling Anne to do something fun besides work and protecting this city, They continued convincing her before Anne finally decided to host a party for everyone.

Anne was seen relaxing while eating kebab as She fixed her hair and looked around while Carrie and Benjamin were sitting in the chair while eating kebab as well.

Anne: So how is the kebab?

Benjamin: It's really delicious! Gosh, I already want another one.

Carrie: Same here, sweetheart. How about you take some of mine?

Carrie fed a piece of kebab to Benjamin as Mcfarland smiled while eating it, Anne was looking at them as she smiled.

Anne: That's adorable.

Benjamin: Thanks Anne, Hopefully you don't feel like a third wheel.

Anne: I'll throw this sunbed at you if I have to.

Benjamin surrendered as Carrie began laughing before Benjamin laughed and said something.

Benjamin: Hey, I can also fight. Remember what I did to that guy in the alleyway two weeks ago?

Anne: Oh yeah, you gave him two black eyes.

Carrie: Mmm, that's my hero.

Carrie rested her head on his shoulder as Benjamin had a smile on his face until they heard someone's voice as they saw who they were.

Jack: Hey everyone, Sorry if we were late.

Caitlin: Did we miss the good stuff?

Anne: Not really, How about you two sit down and have some drinks?

They nodded and sat in the chairs as Caitlin and Jack shared a drink together as they looked around the party.

Caitlin: You know Anne, I wasn't expecting you to host a party. I thought you didn't like that stuff?

Anne began giving a quick side eye to Carrie and Benjamin as Snow and Ryan smiled.

Caitlin: I mean, at least you get to do something else other than work.

Jack: I agree, You should have some fun.

Anne: Maybe you're right about that.

Jack: Because look at Matthew over there, He's partying hard.

They all looked at Matthew, who was drinking and dancing as some women were watching him as they all chuckled.

Carrie: Yeah, Matthew is definitely having a lot of fun.

Benjamin: That reminds me, Me and Matthew got the blueprint ready for your new suit, and we already started making the suit.

Anne: Oh really, that's great. Make sure to add the modifications I gave you because the old suit has gone through a lot.

Jack: You're changing your bat suit?

Anne: The world is becoming more advanced, so I wanna match with it.

They all nodded and smiled as they continued talking to eachother for a few minutes before Caitlin convinced Jack to dance with her even after he refused, He followed her anyways as Benjamin and Carrie were talking to eachother while Anne was taking a walk and was watching everyone.

She continued walking around the beach until Anne heard laughter as Winters turned around and saw three people looking around the beach.

Charlie: Come on, Mark and Annabelle. Stop with the lovey duvey.

Mark: Someone is jealous.

Annabelle: Have you ever seen Charlie jealous?

Charlie: I'm never the jealous type, Believe me.

Anne was looking at Charlie as He fixed his long hair as Mark and Annabelle walked around the beach as Charlie noticed Anne was looking at him as He had a smile on his face.

He walked towards her as Anne was standing there before he said something.

Charlie: Hey Annie. Thanks for the invitation, by the way.

Anne: I was expecting you, Charlie.

Charlie: Of course, no party is fun without me.

Anne: Even though I don't really enjoy parties myself.

Anne shrugged as Charlie chuckled and moved her hair aside as he said something.

Charlie: You should be yourself more often. Get into something new aside from breaking criminal's bones and stuff.

Anne: Already i had a couple of friends tell that to me.

Charlie: They are being honest, you know.

Anne was looking at him as Charlie continued smiling at her.

Charlie: You look fine as always, though.

Anne: Not as fine as you, Handsome hunk.

Charlie chuckled as Anne smiled at him, knowing this party was going to be more fun with him. Anne was gonna say something until she heard Carrie's voice.

Carrie: Hey Anne, Me and Benjamin got smoothies-

She saw Anne and Charlie close to each other as Carrie was shocked, Anne and Charlie both looked at her as Mercer had a smile on his face.

Charlie: Hello there.

Carrie: Charlie Mercer?

Charlie: The one and only, also, aren't you red riding hood?

Carrie: What?

Charlie: I mean, you remind me a lot of red riding hood when you're Robin.

Carrie was shocked as Anne smiled at both of them until Benjamin arrived with the drinks.

Benjamin: Hey Anne, You want some-

Charlie: I'll take that.

Charlie grabbed the smoothie as Benjamin was confused and shocked.

Benjamin: Uhhh-

Charlie: Its alright, Oracle. I'll pay you back.

Benjamin was shocked as Anne was looking at them before she said something.

Anne: Charlie, This is Carrie Kelly and Benjamin McFarland. *Looks at Caitlin and Jack dancing* And over there is Jack Ryan and Caitlin Snow.

Charlie: Nice to meet you all and Oh Jack and Caitlin seem to be in La La Land.

Carrie: *Laughs* That's something I always say to them.

Charlie: Oh really? Looks like we both have thinking. *Looks at Anne* Can she be my sidekick?

Anne: *Smiles* No, otherwise you two are gonna be a duo that will never stop joking.

Charlie: What about Benji over here?

Anne: Same with him, Benjamin will give you trashtalking ideas.

Charlie: Aww, sorry, It looks like Miss Winters doesn't want me to take any of you.

Carrie: Anne, That's boring.

Benjamin: Agreed.

They both joked as Anne gave stare to them before the trio began laughing as Anne smiled a little.

Charlie: Come on, Dont say that. She's lovely.

He smirked at Anne as She smiled and turned away while Carrie and Benjamin smiled at each other.

Benjamin: Looks like we got to meet Catman finally.

Carrie: Yeah, He's already a fun guy, actually.

Benjamin: That's true.

Soon, Anne and Charlie decided to go and see Jack and Caitlin as Both of them stopped dancing and looked at Anne.

Anne: Hey, Just wanted to introduce you to a friend.

Charlie: Oh honey, you should rephrase that.

Anne: *Stares* That's exactly what I mean.

Jack: Umm, hey there.

Charlie: Hey Jack Frost!

Caitlin: Umm, what?

Charlie: *Smiles* It's a great ship name, don't you think? Besides, I'm also a "fast" thinker

With the call of Frost and Fast. Jack and Caitlin knew that Charlie knew their identity

Jack: That's very impressive, actually. I hope you will enjoy this party.

Caitlin: Yeah! Honestly it was shocking to know that Anne was in a party mood.

Jack: It's rare to see her in that mood, Trust me.

Anne smiled a little as Charlie looked at her as He spoke to them.

Charlie: Well, you're right, But it's fun knowing she's in that mood.

They both continued talking as Charlie was cracking some jokes that had Caitlin and Jack laugh, He was getting along with everyone nicely as Anne was talking to Mark and Annabelle.

Soon, The party continued to be enjoyable as Mark, Annabelle, Benjamin, Carrie, Jack, Caitlin, and Matthew were sitting and talking to each other as Anne was looking at the party people while enjoying the music until Charlie grabbed her hand and pulled him close.

Charlie: You know, you're supposed to have fun in your party.

Anne: *Smiles* Then what should I do?

Charlie: How about I show you a dance?

Anne: Dance? I'm not really good with dancing.

Charlie: Don't worry, it's not like I'm telling you to belly dance.

Anne stared at him before he spinned her around the beat of the music as He let go of her hand as both of them began dancing.

They grabbed each other's hand and spinned to the other side as Anne had a huge smile on her face and actually was enjoying the dance as Charlie felt happy knowing she was enjoying this.

Meanwhile, the group was just talking until they saw Charlie and Anne dancing together, which shocked them as Mark spit his drink.

Mark: Are they actually dancing!?

Matthew: Wow, I never knew Anne was a good dancer.

Annabelle; These two really need to get married. They don't even need to date.

Jack: This is very unexpected. . .

Caitlin: But hey, at least Anne is actually enjoying the party now.

Benjamin: Look at them go!

Carrie: The dance moves are amazing.

Charlie and Anne finished the last dance step as Both of them were close to each other as the waves of the water happened, Both of them continued staring at eachother as Charlie said something.

Charlie: Esta noche la vida es completa (Tonight, Life is completed)

Anne: *Smiles* I didn't know you speak Spanish.

Charlie chuckled until they heard their friends cheering in the back as They all looked at them as Anne sighed to herself while Charlie chuckled.

Soon, The rest of the party was fun and they all had a great time, The time was seven p.m as It was nighttime and everyone was leaving as Charlie was talking to Carrie before she needed to leave as He said goodbye to her.

He looked around and saw everyone leaving except Anne who was just looking at the sky as He walked towards her and spoke.

Charlie: The night's beautiful, right?

Anne: It really is.

Charlie: So your just gonna stand here for a while?

Anne: I like it when I'm alone and dark. I'm always used to being alone

Charlie looked at her as Anne turned around and looked at him before he placed his hand on her waist and said something.

Charlie: You may love being alone, but I'm never leaving you. I'm always there for you

He said it with honesty as Anne was looking into his eyes and had a small smile on her face as he kissed her forehead as her heart skipped a beat.

Charlie: Come on, no more being alone.

He held her hand as Anne nodded and began following him as Winters was staring at him.

Soon, They all went back to their houses as Anne was in the manor while brushing her hair as she was thinking about Charlie.

Meanwhile, Charlie was at the Catcave as He was talking to Mark and Annabelle.

Charlie: So when is my new suit gonna be ready?

Annabelle: Very soon, We might finish it in a week.

Mark: Take a look at this.

It showed a hologram of the catsuit as Charlie was impressed and read the modifications as Mark and Annabelle were explaining more.

Mark: Believe me, you're gonna love this upgrade.

Charlie: I'm having hopes on you, Mark, and Annabelle.

Annabelle: Don't worry, It will be great.

Charlie nodded as He continued looking at the hologram and was thinking about Anne as Charlie had a smile on his face.
