Finally evening, a wondrous event was currently upholding in a certain Manor up in Mountain drive. Everyone dressed in costumes straight out of a fairy tale book, decorations everywhere - and of course, the wonderful music playing in the background

Everyone was having the time of their lives, inside of the ballroom... All except for a certain Bruce Wayne who stood outside of the Gates of the Manor while everyone was making their way in

He didn't know why, but he felt like waiting a little bit.

When suddenly, he felt a presence from behind which caught him off guard. It was Talia in her very sophisticated princess outfit on.

He expected someone else, he wondered why

"Shall we go on?" Talia smiled at him with her black painted lips

"Yeah, we should" Bruce stated as they made their way in the inside arm-in-arm

As they made their way into the ballroom, Bruce wished to stay outside. Something inside of him was urging him to stand and wait in that cold

"Sire, I'm glad you could make it" Alfred greeted in a polite way "And a very Good Evening to you too, Miss Talia"

"Thanks Alfred" she responded, turning to the table where the food was at "I'll take a round on the punch, I'll be right back" she said as she walked to the other direction to get some punch

"Sooo... I presume she's not coming?" Alfred blurted in a form of a whisper to the man

"Talia is right there, Alfred"

"You know damn well who I'm referring to" a raised eyebrow was casted on him

"It's a long story... but basically.. she uh..."

He raised his head up and notices the British man staring up with a delighted smile "And speaking of the capybara!!" he exclaimed

Bruce turned, wondering what he was staring at. Upon doing so, a surge of surprise and joy came to him

Right at the steps at the entrance was Diana herself in a beautiful long black dress with her curves just fitting the skintight outfit. Her long raven curls tied in an intricate updo and her lips painted of a beautiful shade of pink

His mouth was agape open. As if she couldn't be even more beautiful, now she was... enchantingly alluring.

Diana caught his gaze, and she smiled at him, which almost made Bruce jump in joy. She then made her way to him, but upon doing so, she accidentally lost her balance and stumbled upon the stairs - but luckily, Bruce was there to catch her

"Why hello~" she with a quirky grin on her face

Bruce chuckled. Despite looking different, she was still the same Diana as ever. And so, he helped her stand up to her feet

"I'm not quite used to wearing these high-heels" She accidentally blurted

"Do you want me to fetch you a sandal or something?" Bruce offered

"No, it's alright" Diana answered quickly "I want to experience wearing high heels for at least tonight"

"I see" he said.
