Casey stroked her paintbrush across the canvas stopping midstroke as the doorbell rang. She let out an exasperated sigh, "Coming!" she called out as she walked to the door.

She opened the door with a smile. It was the mailman.

"Hello," Casey greeted.

"here you are, " the mailman handed her 3 letters.

"Thank you." The man nodded before leaving. Casey closed the door and sat down on the couch.

1 of the letters was her payment for the painting from Bruce, The other 2 were addressed to her and Glerys. "Glerys?!" Casey called out.

"What?" Glerys popped out next to the couch.

"Here, " Casey smiled handing her the letter addressed to her.

They each opened their identical letters with smiles as they read what it said.

You have been invited to the annual masquerade ball being held at the Wayne Manor. Masks will not be provided.

"Food~" Glerys whispered.

"Oso, stand up, we're headed dress shopping."

-time skip-

Casey fixed her mask and earrings. She smiled as she looked in the mirror.

"oso?" Casey called out.

"Coming!" Glerys called back.

They both walked out of the house with smiles on their faces. It was a little rough getting there but with time they did.

They looked around. The ballroom was filled with people in masks. "Humans," Glerys hissed, getting closer to Casey.

"Ah yes the humans, " Casey laughed behind her hand.

Glerys giggled, "So what do you want to do first?"

"I know what you wanna do."

Glerys smirked, "food~"

"yep."

"Then let's go!" Glerys grabbed Casey's hand and dragged her to towards the food. Casey chuckled.

Glerys looked at the food as if it's the most beautiful thing in the world, which it is.

Dick and Bruce came over. Casey noticed them and smiled. "Hello, boys, " Casey said.

"Hey," They said. Bruce wrapped an arm around her before they heard the click of a camera. They sighed.

"did you invite someone from the press?" Casey whispered.

"No."

"Did you invite someone who knows the press?"

"I don't think so."

Dick was laughing behind his hand, "Why are you laughing?" Casey asked him. He glanced at Glerys. Casey followed his line of sight, "Found our culprit, " she sighed.

"Don't mind me, pretend I'm not even here," Glerys said, scrolling through her phone, "adding this one to the album for sure," She mumbled as she looked at the picture she took of Casey and Bruce.

"You have an album?"

Glerys stared at Casey for a good second, "maybe."

"I should have guessed."

Glerys smirked, "Just keep doing what you two were doing~" Bruce and Casey laughed.

Bruce pulled Casey out to the dance floor leaving Dick and Glerys alone.

"Come here often?" Dick asked with a smirk.

Glerys rolled her eyes with a smile, "Yeah for the food."

"Aw and not for me?"

"But food."

Dick pouted while Glerys smirked causing the pout to intensify. Glerys let out a laugh as she handed him a cookie.

Dick smiled as he ate the cookie. Glerys smiled, "I hope you enjoyed that cookie because you don't know how hard it was to give it up."

Dick laughed, "I saw the physical struggle in your eyes."

"Oh, I'm honored."

Casey smiled as she danced with Bruce. He twirled her around causing her to erupt into giggles. He smiled brightly.

Everything was perfect, but it's always calm before the storm.

A crash was suddenly heard. Everyone froze and looked around.
