Days later

"You guys died already?" Caitlin asked as they approched Cisco and Barry in the lazer tag arena.

"Well, Chad... He just told us... Come on. Come on." Barry stammered.

"I don't know what's wrong with kids these days. Churlish." Cisco pointed at Chad as Caitlin and Anna sniped Chad out.

"You better watch yourself, Chad. Come at me at the paintball field next time. I'll kick your little..." Cisco stopped when he saw their mom. "Hey! Mrs. McConnell. How you doing? Chad's a treasure. He really is."

"Pretzel for Caitlin. Corn dog for Iris, two franks for Cisco... Yes, thank you. Six burgers, ten churros, and twelve funnel cakes for Barry and Anna." Joe set down the food.

"Look at all of this junk. Guys, I'm really sorry. If the pipes in the house weren't making this weird, annoying sound, I would have just actually had you all over for dinner."

"Squeaky pipes at the West house. What a surprise."

"Really? You're familiar with this sound?"

Barry chuckled. "Oh, yeah.

"Oh, yeah. You mean the..." Iris imitated the sounds the pipes made.

"Yeah." Cecile nodded.

"It's been doing that for..." Barry paused.

"18 years?" Anna guessed.

"Yeah." Iris said as Anna took another bite.

"Every house has a personality, Iris. Just likes to be heard." Joe scolded.

"Oh, my gosh. They broke up. The Wexler-Waclawiks broke up." Iris looked at her phone.

"For real? Hell yeah." Barry smiled.

"Yes!"

"Uh, who are the Wexler-Wa-claws-wilix, and why are we happy that their love is dead?" Cisco questioned.

"They're a couple that were getting married at the Propizio the weekend of the 2nd. Which means now the venue is open." Iris explained.

"That's amazing. What good luck." Caitlin noted.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now we just have to put a deposit down."

"I'll run it over." Barry suggested.

"Nope, already covered, babe." Iris shot him down as evreyones phones buzzed.

"Oh, God. Breach alert, guys. We gotta go. We gotta go." Iris informed.

The rest of the group walked in where Wally was at the entrance of the breach as Harry jumped out. "Uh...Hey, Harry, um, is Jesse not coming?" Wally asked, holding a teddy bear and flowers.

Harry sighed. "So, um..."

"I thought Jesse and I were having date night."

"Yeah, that's what you thought. Let me just..." Harry pulled out a cube, handing it to Wally. "Okay. Just let me..." He clicked a button.

Jesse's face appeared in a hologram."Okay, so... Hey, Wally. It's me. Good to see you. So, I've, um... I've been doing some thinking. And..." The hologram fritzed. "You know, we've both been so busy... You and Earth..."

Harry banged the cube. "Stupid hologram. You know, it's that darn Atlantean plastic. It's really shoddy workmanship. Sorry about this."

"What is... what is this thing?" Wally asked.
