Gotham City. Woodrow Roosevelt High School. 

3:09 PM, normal healthy activity in the school gymnasium.

While Dick Grayson was lifting weights with his girlfriend Sam Pan, three pretty girls were practicing cheers.

The head cheerleader, a cute girl with black hair in a high ponytail, read from a piece of paper.

"You got it memorized?" she said.

"I think so" said the blonde cheerleader.

"Alright, let's go" said the head cheerleader.

The three girls danced while waving pompoms and reciting the cheer they'd just read.

Zing! Boom! Sis boom bah!

We're from Woodrow Roosevelt! That's who we are!

Does anybody scare us? The answer is nix! 

Come on, team! Let's make it six!

The whole crowd in the gym applauded for the three girls.

"Gosh, Susie, terrific! Did you write it yourself?" said Dick.

"Oh, heck no. Miss Browning, our poetry professor" said the head cheerleader.

She turned to her fellow cheerleaders and said "Let's take a break, gang. Anyone for a drink?"

"Me!" said the brown-haired cheerleader.

The girls walked over to a milk machine against the wall of the gym.

Susie inserted a dime and pushed the button for a container of milk.

She didn't reach in and grab a container of milk, but she did find...

"Holy cow! Silver dollars! Let me try!" said the blonde cheerleader.

She did the same thing and also got silver dollars.

"Hey, kids! Everyone come on! It's Christmas!" Susie squealed.

Everyone in the gym crowded around the milk machine, but Dick and Sam stayed behind.

"Silver dollars in a milk machine?" said Dick.

"I know what you're thinking. It came out of nowhere, didn't it?" said Sam.

"We may need someone to find how money got in the machine" said Dick.

"And you're looking at that someone. I'll go get my guys" said Sam.

"You do that. But be careful" said Dick.
