I MEAN NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE!!!

When Richard was younger- actually, he never grew out of it.

Richard was always attracted to shiny, sparkly things.

While it could be good if they were trying to find a missing jewel. 

But it could also be bad.

Especially when they went to the museum. 

It was the first year that Richard was Robin.

A few months after he first began.

Robin and he were walking through the museum when something caught Robin's eye.

It was a necklace that was purple with a golden chain.

Robin was about to grab it when Bruce pulled him under his cape.

"No. We don't steal." Batman said.

"But so sparkly and pretty!" Robin groaned.

"I'll get you something just as or even better than that." Batman said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turns out, Richard never grew out of the 'sparkly and shiny' stage.

Everyone looked around Richard's apartment.

Every surface was covered in shiny, sparkly things.

"Thank gosh you got here!" Amy said, trying to make her way to the bedroom.

"Who are you? Why are you in, Grayson's apartment? Talk or I slit your throat!" Damian screamed, pulling out a knife.

"Damian, that's Amy Rohrbach, Dick's partner in the force." Bruce explained.

Damian put his knife away. "I'm watching you."

"Yeah, be creepy all you want, kid. Just help me get to him He's in his bedroom." Amy said.

"How does he live like this?" Jason asked, looking around.

Tim started picking up the items and pushing them into piles.

Bruce, Amy, Jason, and Damian slowly made their way to Dick's bedroom.

Inside, Richard was on his bed, crying. 

He was surrounded with ice cream boxes, shiny things, and trash.

"Dickie, we're here. And so is Amy. You wanna talk?" Bruce asked.

"NO! G-GO A-A-AWAYYYYY!" Richard sobbed.

"Grayson, get off your ass and get out of your bed before I come over there!" Damian screamed.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Richard threw his pillow at Damian and covered his head with his fluffy blanket.

"Richard, I'm sure we can find another like it." Jason said.

"NO WE CAN'T! SHE WAS SPECIAL!" Richard cried.

"I'm sure we can find something better." Bruce said.

"NO! She was the only one! She was my black fluffy, pom-pom with the diamond encrusted panda! Bruce gave her to me when I was 8!" Richard cried.

"This?" Cass held up a chain. 

The silver key-chain had a giant black fluffy pom-pom with a silver diamond encrusted panda. The panda's eyes were encrusted with black diamonds. 

Richard immediately stopped crying.

"PANDA!" Richard screamed, launching himself at the panda.

"He is SO magnetized!" Tim snorted.
