As Caitlin drilled the plan into Cisco's head for the fifth time now Barry sped in alerting them of Iris's arrival in about 3,2,1...
"Iris, heyy girlfriend I need some quality time with my sunshine twin; it's been soo long since we did something fun."
"Umm...Okayy Cisco. I guess you right, where do you wanna go?" replied a very confused Iris.
"Everywhere!"
Was all she heard before Cisco pulled her into a vibe and was gone.

"Glad that's over. Barry! Oh shit I forgot, the flower shop people can't deliver the bouquets you ordered until 4..."

"Thats not so bad.."
"4 tommorow." Caitlin interrupted.

Oh Shit why isn't anything going according to plan; first the dark roast Iris loves isn't available till next week, then I dropped the ring and chipped a piece of the silverwork out, which by the way i need you to fix, now this!"
"Don't worry Barry you have people with superpowers as friends, and the best power of all; superspeed. So get to running, there's a great flowerplace in Keystone called Westwood, There's a Starbucks there that sells the best dark roast mocha latte,  Julian and I will fix the ring,
And Joe offered to do the food afterwards. So I have one thing to say to you mister, Run, Barry, Run!"

And with that he was off; Caitlin was always the one to call when you needed a plan or simply just a word of encouragement.

Meanwhile, back with the sunshine twins...

"Yes that's gorgeous, Barry will love it, it suits your figure." Cisco judged as Iris emerged from the dressing room after 5 dresses.
"Your just saying that Cisco," normally Cisco would say anything to get food but this time he genuinely meant it.
"No, I'm being for real. And I'm not just saying it cos we're opposite a Big Belly Burger  and I'm hangry."
Iris smiled at Cisco loving his genuine compliment and playful expression.
"Okay this one it is" she said as they headed to pay for it.

Cisco's burger went down well with his Orange soda, so well that he ordered 3 more.
"Jeez don't they feed you?"
"Iris when you're a growing boy you need your protein"
"Yah, yah so what, Cisco I have a question for you; do you think Barry will ever wanna marry me? I mean things are going pretty great and all but d'you think he loves me that much? "
Cisco couldn't help but smile as he choked and the remaking soda he had yet to finish. "Iris, Barry loves you so much, there ain't nobody that he would put a ring on besides you. Your legit his everything you go together like Katniss and Peter, like a  Jeddi and peace. Barry loves you soo much, I can tell you this. I wish I had what you and him have."
Iris couldn't help but hug Cisco, her second favourite best friend, runner up to Barry of course. "Dont worry Cisco, when you and Gypsy get together I'll do The exact same thing for you".
