Still not thinking the music was enough to signal their holiday spirit, Megan and Wally sat on the floor and began writing their christmas lists while RObin continued play random little songs on the piano.

"Artemis, aren't you going to write a list?" Megan asked.

"No, I haven't written one since I was six, and I'm not going to do it know." Artemis snapped.

"Come on, it's fun." Megan said happily.

"No, I'm grown up now, I don't write Christmas lists or sends them off to Santa." Artemis answered, turning on her heals to leave. Once she was safe in her room, she heard a tune from the piano echoing through the halls. Figuring out the song, she actually began to sing along.

"Do you remember me?I sat upon your knee; I wrote to you, With childhood fantasies. Well, I'm all grown-up now, And still need help somehow, I'm not a child, But my heart still can dream." The archer sang quietly.

"So here's my lifelong wish, My grown-up Christmas list. Not for myself, But for a world in need. No more lives torn apart,That wars would never start, And time would heal all hearts. And everyone would have a friend, And right would always win, And love would never end. This is my grown-up Christmas list." Artemis sang a little louder this time.

"As children we believed, The grandest sight to see, Was something lovely, Wrapped beneath our tree, Well heaven surely knows, That packages and bows
Can never heal, A hurting human soul. No more lives torn apart, That wars would never start, And time would heal all hearts. And everyone would have a friend, And right would always win, And love would never end. This is my grown-up Christmas list." The teen actually started to tear up a bit, but couldn't bring herself to fully cry.

"What is this illusion called the innocence of youth? Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth. No more lives torn apart, That wars would never start, And time would heal all hearts. And everyone would have a friend, And right would always win, And love would never end, oh. This is my grown-up Christmas list. This is my grown-up Christmas list." Artemis finally stopped singing when the door of her room opened. It was Wally.

"You really are a good singer."

"Thanks."

"I wrote you in my Christmas list since you didn't want to write one." Wally held out a piece of paper that was neatly folded. Artemis took it slowly from him and read out loud.

"And finally, I would like for Artemis to have a great Christmas this year."
