"Can I kiss you?!" A girl popped up in front of Barry. She was out of breath, her forehead shining from the sweat after a what-seemed-like-a long run. Just when Barry was about to answer, her lips met his. If it hadn't been for the fact that she had taken him by surprise, he would have noticed so much more about her. Like the way her eyes sparkled when their gazes met, the way her hair seemed to perfectly frame her head, the way her chapped lips glowed in the daylight.

But she did take him by surprise, and all he could think of, were how those chapped, yet soft lips felt against his. It wasn't an ordinary setting for Barry (to have random girls coming up kissing him). Though for some reason, it felt natural. So he closed his eyes and started kissing back – a very un-Barry and bold move, that he instantly regretted when the warm feeling disappeared not long after.

"Thanks! You're a real hero!" It was just by pure luck, that Barry managed to get a slightly better look at her before she ran. The last thing he saw being a pair of red cheeks and Y/E/C eyes. It certainly was a way to brighten up his day – who wouldn't have liked to get kissed by a girl? Though at the same time, Barry still felt something fishy about what had just happened, and he was dying to know why the sudden urge for the beautiful girl to kiss him: it wasn't like that happened on a daily basis in Central City.

"Wow, what happened to you?" Iris's question shook Barry out of his thoughts. He smiled at her, and said: "What do you mean?"
"Well, by the grin on your face, I'd guess you just met your soulmate," he hadn't even noticed. However, merely seconds later, Barry could sense an ache in his cheeks.
"Who knows? Maybe I just did?" His clever smirk made wheels inside his best friend's head turning. 'What the hell did he mean by that?'

It had been weeks since the mystery girl had kissed Barry. Thoughts like: 'Who is she?', 'Is she alright?', 'Where is she now? Does she remember me?', 'Will she be here today? Am I unconsciously walking right next to her right now?', and 'Is that her?', had been roaming through Barry's mind, and was currently distracting him.
"Ooh!" Oliver's punch hit him hard, though Barry knew he kind of deserved it – needed it as well.

"Come on, Barry! You need to be focused! That's the reason you're here in the first place!" Green Arrow was right. Through the last couple of weeks, The Flash's problem of getting distracted had gotten big spots in the papers. He simply could not help it though, it was that girl. Whatever he would do to get her out of his head, it just wouldn't do. As if Cisco had read his mind, the latino spoke up: "Barr, you need to get Cinderella out of your head!" Of course, Barry had told Cisco, but at the confused look on the whole team Arrows' faces, it seemed like the speedster had to tell the rest how he had met his mystery girl.

"I really can't forget about her," Barry finished with an almost dramatic sigh. Furthermore, Cisco and Caitlin explained the poor consequences of Barry's "lovesick" state (to which Barry strongly disagreed, and corrected them with that he was "just curious, it was so random!" He had said).
"What if she's the one needing saving next time, Barry? What are you going to do then?! Because what you're doing now? That can't continue because your city is depending on you!"
