[Smiling to herself, she opens her eyes and takes advantage of the break to switch movies in the DVD player. Returning to the couch even before Robin's back from the kitchen.]

[This day couldn't possibly get any better.]

[allthesensors]

[Returns to the living room a few minutes later with a large bowl of popcorn and two glasses of Mt.Dew. He sets the glasses down on the table and then resumes his seat on the couch with her.]

And I'm back. Miss me?

[backwordscompatible]

Not really.

[She's smiling as she returns to their previous position, partially leaning against him]

Though, I will say, you make a fabulous pillow.

[allthesensors]

You sure know how to make a guy feel special, Zatanna.

[Snickers and then he slips his arm around her shoulders. Resumes being all nice and cozy with her.]</small. I do, don't I?

[backwordscompatible]

I try.

[She shifts against him, finding he most comfortable position, grimacing at the television, where Han is currently slicing an animal's carcas open]

Better than a tauntaun, that's for sure.

[allthesensors]

I have now reached my life goal. I always said to myself "Self, I hope one day a pretty girl will consider me a more comfortable pillow than a tauntaun." Thank you for helping me realize my dream.

[backwordscompatible]

Does this mean it's all downhill from here, or are you going to find a new dream?

[allthesensors]

I have a new dream. Since I've upgraded myself from being better than a Tauntaun, my next dream is to have you declare your undying adoration for me over Porkins. It's a bold dream, I know, but why dream if you're not willing to be bold?

[Zatanna was incredibly glad she was facing away from him right then, if only so he wouldn't see the look on her face. She knew there was a degree of playful teasing to his words, just as there had been from the very start, but something about the way he said it...]

[She gave a low 'hmm' in consideration, trying to sound as casual as possible in return:]

I don't know, Robin.

Porkins.

[allthesensors]

[And here is the difference between boys and girls, or maybe Zatanna's maturity level versus Robin's. While she is probably blushing to the side, feeling sentimental about the whole situation, Robin is having a different reaction.

That's not to say that there's not affection in his teasing and some meaning to it, there is. But the way she delivers those last couple of lines? He is cracking up laughing.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Exactly what she had been hoping for; his laughter broke the most likely one-sided tension, allowing her to relax enough to let out her own fit of giggles.]

[allthesensors]

[Still laughing but he has more control.] Okay, okay. Think I can shoot for being a fraction as cool as Han Solo? I might not shoot first but I do throw water balloons first.

[backwordscompatible]

I think you've got a decent chance.

...wait, water balloons? And me without my super soaker.

[allthesensors]

You might want to ask Artemis about the water balloon incident sometime.

[backwordscompatible]

[Oh, she is so curious right now.]

You attacked Artemis. With a water balloon.

[allthesensors]

That's a possibility. I may have also ran faster than I ever have in my life.

[backwordscompatible]

Wow. Risk-taking and major high-tailing it skills.

You might be Han Solo after all.

[allthesensors]

And not bad with the ladies either?

[backwordscompatible]

I dunno. How many are we talking here?

[allthesensors]

Oh, you know.

[Spreads his fingers out and looks like he is counting off on his fingers. Whenever he taps one to count, he curls it into the palm of his hand. When he gets to his pointer finger, he points to her.]

Just the one.

[backwordscompatible]

Lucky girl.

She must be pretty special.

[allthesensors]

She is.

[Smiiilles.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She smiles up at him]

Very smooth, mister.

[allthesensors]

If I want to be like Han Solo, I've got my work cut out for me.

[backwordscompatible]

Right.

First, you need a Chewbacca.
