It's been a week since the incident and everyone in Wayne Manor was getting all dressed up for the gala in four hours. Bruce was in Dick's room helping him get dressed, while Alfred was helping Hailey with her hair and shoes. Dick was making it hard for Bruce to get him ready, he would not stand or sit still.

"Dick, stop moving and sit still so I can finish this," Bruce said trying to gel and comb Dick's hair back. Dick continued to squirm around on the sink, he was seated on, in his private bathroom. "I not go!" Shouted Dick turning head from left to right, messing up Bruce's work. "Dick, you have to go, I don't have anyone to watch you and you need to socialize with kids your age," Bruce said as he tried to fix Dick's hair. "Wally come?" Dick looked up at Bruce with his big baby blue eyes. "I'll go call Barry" Bruce sighed and walked out of the bathroom to call Barry.

Dick turned around to face the mirror that was connected to the sink. Dick was wearing a black shiny suit with a white dress shirt and a red tie. "I no go, out Wally" He whispered to himself. Dick knew that the gala was going to have a lot of people and he did not think he would make it to the door.

Barry heard his phone ring from his pocket, he pulled it looking at the caller I.D. and answered it. "Hey Bruce, what do you need?" He answered happily. "I have a gala tonight and Dick won't cooperate for me and he wants Wallace to come along. Would it be alright if I came to pick him up?" Bruce asked. "Yeah, I don't see why not, I'll go ask him," Barry said and ran to Wally's room. "Wally, Bruce was wondering if you wanted to go to a gala with Richard. Would you like to go?" Barry asked and Wally smiled while eagerly nodding. "He would like to come along, Bruce. Bye soon ya." Barry ended the call.

Bruce walked back into Dick's bathroom and saw Dick messing up his hair. "Don't do that, Dick," Bruce said grabbing Dick's hands and pulling them away from his hair. "Wally is coming, so let me redo your hair." Dick smiled at the mention of his best friend. "WALLY!" Dick screamed as he threw his hands in the air. "Sit back down and let me do your hair or he won't be coming along." Bruce threatened with a small smile.

In Hailey's room, Alfred was doing her hair. Hailey was wearing a green and purple ball gown that touches the floor with black high heels. Her hair was in a ponytail and curled. "Alfie, why can't Daddy get me ready?" She asked fiddling with her fingers. "Master Bruce has to get Master Richard ready for the gala, Miss Hailey," Alfred answered curling her hair and she huffed.

Bruce picked Wally up at five and got him ready for the gala. Wally was wearing a shiny black suit with a yellow dress shirt and a light blue tie. His hair was gelled and combed back. Bruce was wearing a shiny black suit with a white dress shirt and black tie. His hair was gelled and combed back.

"Tata, no like gel!" Dick said and Bruce sighed. "I know, Dick" Bruce picked Dick up. "Where Wally?" Dick perked up wanting to see his friend. Bruce put him down and watched as Dick ran off to find Wally.

Dick called Wally's name as he ran around the Manor. "Wally, where at!" Dick yelled in his broken English. "WALLY!" Dick cried out after searching for about fifteen minutes. He had tears running down his face. "WA-LLY!" Dick screamed looking around the room he was in. Suddenly a blur stopped in front him. "Dickie, what's wrong?" Wally asked in a panic. Dick did not hesitate to latch onto Wally, hugging him tightly and crying. "Not find you" Dick cried into Wally's chest. Wally laughed a little and said, "I was in the kitchen."

By six-thirty everyone was in the limo and heading over to pick up Danielle. Bruce sat with Hailey on his lap, while Dick was curled up into Wally's side, asleep, and Wally had his arms wrapped around him protectively. At seven, the limo pulled in front of Danielle's house. Bruce handed Hailey over to Wally, who sat her on his lap, getting out Bruce walked up to the door and knocked. Danielle opened the door and smile when she saw Bruce staring at her. Danielle was wearing a tight fitting, floor length blue dress with a slit on the right side of the dress and sparkling clear shoes. Her hair was up with curls wrapped around and a tiara in her hair. To say the least, Bruce was speechless. "Shall we go?" Danielle suggested with a small blush while Bruce nodded and led her to the limo.

Once Bruce and Danielle reached to the limo, Bruce opened the door and let her in first. Danielle had not noticed that Wally was in the limo until she was seated. Wally still had, a now awake, Dick snuggled into his side and Hailey had gotten off of his lap to sit by herself. "Danielle!" Dick yelled sitting up but not letting go of Wally. "Hello Richard," Danielle said laughing "Who's your friend?" Dick smiled and snuggled back into Wally's chest. "Wally! But mine." Wally smiled and laughed at how Dick was acting. "Well, hello Wally, I'm Danielle" She smiled and Wally smiled back.

Alfred pulled away from Danielle's house and headed to the gala. At eight Alfred pulled up to the ballroom doors and opened the door to let everyone out. Bruce and Danielle were the first ones out followed by Hailey and then Dick and Wally. Wally went to stand up but was pulled back down by Dick, who was shaking a lot. "Come on, Dick, we have to go," Wally said as tears starting to roll down Dick's face. "BRUCE!" Wally yelled, "BRUCE, I NEED YOUR HELP!" Bruce heard Wally calling for him and knew it had to do with Dick. Bruce turned around running back to the limo and picking up Dick. "Dickie, it's okay," Bruce said hugging Dick tightly.
