"Hey, big guy. What are you doing?" Dick was standing in front of the microwave with a pack of popcorn in his hand just staring at it. 

"I don't know how to work this. I told Alfred I had this. He's dropping Jason off at his place cause Roy took his bike last night," I reached for the pack and took the wrapper off before I stuck it in the microwave and pressed the number two which automatically started the whole thing. "Jay told you didn't he?" 

"Yeah, you want to talk about it?" 

"What is there to say? We lost our spark?" the microwave went off. He reached for the microwave door and slowly pulled it open. 

"Okay," I said taking the popcorn out myself. "I have this thing I made for my mom that keeps melt away chocolate melted and warm. Also, I have Ten Things I Hate About You, She's Is The Man, Cinderella Story, and I hate to admit this and I only have it because Sin got it for me but I also have the Notebook," 

"Yeah?" he nodded. "Okay," 

"I can also get a bunch of things together and we can play 'This Is Amazing with Chocolate'," 

"That's a thing?" he smiled. 

"It is now," 

"Yeah, okay. I want to play that and watch romantic movies and stuff that is going to make me feel worse but I love it," he nodded. 

"Alright, let's go set up," 

By the time Alfred got home, I had sliced up all the fruits I could find as well as some weird stuff like vegetables and I stole some of Jason's candy. Alfred was a little upset that I didn't wait for him to get home to do all of this for Dick. We went with Ten Things I hate about you, followed by the Notebook because and I quote, I want something funny to follow this. So I plan to put on She's The Man after this. 

"I'm not going to lie, I've always wanted a sister to watch stuff like this with," he said looking over at me. "Why did you bring raw onions?" 

"They might go great with chocolate. This is a game, not a pick and choose thing. Try some onion in your chocolate," he shook his head. 

"I can't do that, Ills. I think I draw the line here," he shrugged. 

"No, Dick. You're going to try the onion and I need you to tell me if you love it or hate cause I have a list," he sat up straight making a face. 

"You have a list? What does the list do?" he asked. I showed it to him. "It has boxes," 

"Yeah, each item must be checked off. I'm going to go insane if all the items aren't checked off," 

"You're playing this game too. Are you going to try the onion?" 

"No, you're the tester and I am the item keeper," he squinted his eyes and shook his head. "So you forfeit is that what you're telling me?" 

"How do you win this game? Am I the only player? What are the rules?" 

"The rules are you try everything on this tray and let me know what you think and I check it off my list so the next time we play, we take the stuff we hate and put it aside. Then we make someone else try it," 

"So, what you're saying is that you're being mean to me so when we do this together again we can be mean to someone else-together?" 

"Yes, Dick. That is exactly what I am saying," 

"Why are you telling me this?  You'd be a terrible bad guy," 

"Or I'll make a cheesy bad guy. Like a James Bond Villian. I can get a fish tank," he laughed.
