I was sitting in the Cortex, reading a book when I heard a familiar voice. 

"Is that my beautiful Laura Wilson." I looked up and couldn't keep the scream from exiting my mouth.

"Felicity Smoak, as I live and breath!" I got up, running over to her and throwing my arms around her.

"I'm so freaking glad you're here, you have no idea."

"I'm glad to be here! I am so excited for this Bachelorette party." We pulled away.

"Oh my gosh, me too. Literally, most all of my job is me being with the boys, do you know how great it is to have a night with just us girls?" I looked up at the sound of footsteps to see the lady of the hour, Iris West.

"Felicity! Hey!" She walked over and they hugged too.

"So, where is Caitlin?" She asked.

"Oh, she's in the Med bay, come on." I lead the way into the Medbay, followed by Felicity and Iris.

"Well here you are." Felicity said. "Ok, are you ready for the ladies' nights to end all laidies nights?" Caitlin turned away from the computer as Felicity set her baloon covered bag on the floor.

"And by that, she means a quiet, low-key dinner at a very classy resteraunt." Iris corrected.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Super low-key, super quiet, do you want a pink or a blue feather boa." I laughed.

"Those two things don't exactly go together."

"Actaully Iris, if it's ok, I don't think I'm gonna make it tonight. I'm just not feeling up to it."

"What?"

"Aww."

"Are you feeling ok?"

"No, I'm fine, I just...sometimes life catches up with you, you know?" She said.

"It's 'cause you're not wearing the tiara. Put on the tiara, everything will change." She put a plastic furry tiara on Iris with pink Gemstones, along with the pink feather boa.

"How can you say no to that?! A pink feather boa and a plastic tiara makes all of the difference." I told her.

"I'm wearing a tiara, thank you."

"Welcome."

"Caitlin, please, come on, we work together every day and we never get to do a dinner just us girls." Iris argued. "You have to come."

"If not for the sake of that, do it for me who is literally surrounded by almost all men all of the time." I begged.

"She's right, just one dinner, please." Felicity threw in.

"Wouldn't miss it."

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "Alright, so I'm gonna go get changed."

I changed into my dress then went into the cortex so I could use the webcam on the computer as a mirror to fix my hair and make-up. I took my hair out of it's ponytail and shook it out. It was naturally wavy, so it looked as if I'd spent a lot of time on it, even though I literally had done nothing. I applied some lipstick that matched the shade of my dress, along with some light brown eyeshadow and just a little bit of mascera. I don't wear a lot of make-up on any occasion, so it wasn't that hard. I stood up, walking around the desk to retreive my purse with my suit in it, just in case I needed it.

"Wow." I jumped, looking up to see Ralph standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Geez, Ralph." I put a hand on my chest, breathing heavily. "You scared me."

"Sorry," He chuckled, "You look great."

"Thank you." He furrowed his eyebrows at my feet and I looked down at my white high-top converse. "Yeah, um...my boots from my suit don't exactly work with this dress, so I wanted to wear something that I could wear with my suit if the need arises. Plus I don't wear heels anyway, so might as well."

"I wasn't judging you, or anything. It just seemed like a unique fashion choice." I shrugged.

"I'm a unique person."

"I know." I smiled. "i should get going and you probably will be leaving soon too."

"Yeah. See you tomorrow."

"Will do." He turned, leaving and I smiled. This was definetly a new Dibny. And I had to admit, I really liked him.

"So fancy." Ceceile cooed as the waiter finished pouring the champagne. We were certainly in a very classy resteraunt, as there was some smooth piano playing in the background and here we all sat wearing feather boas, with Iris in a sash that said 'Bride' on it.

"Yeah. A toast,to the future Mrs. Allen." Felicity stated.

"West-Allen." Iris corrected.

"West-Allen. Although your life with Barry may be fast-paced, I hope you guys take the time to enjoy the special moments."

"Aw, thank you guys for coming. It really means a lot." We all clinked our glasses.

"Cheers."

"Well, alright, who wants my champagne?" Ceceile asked.

"Mine too." 

"The craziest thing I get to do tonight is order two deserts."

"Laura, why aren't you drinking?" Iris asked.

"I don't drink," I told her. "I may look like a seasoned and mature woman, but I have the taste buds of a ten year old boy, and they are not a fan of alcohol of any type."

"Oh, sweetie you're so cute. You think the taste is why you drink alcohol." Felicity told me causing the other to laugh.

"I'll take them." Caitlin said, downing them both.

"And back to Ceceile, Iris told me you were pregnant, how is that going?" Felicity asked.

"Yeah, it's g-it's good.It wasn't exactly a part of my plan but I just could not be happier. "

"I know exactly what you mean."

"Oh, yeah, how are things with Oliver and William?" I aksed.  I didn't hear her answer though, because I looked up and saw the creepy one-eyed man from the bar the night Cisco and I went to recruit Caitlin. We shared a look, and she looked worried.

'You know him?' I mouthed. She nodded. I gave her a reassureing look, getting up and booking it to the bathroom, where I quickly pulled my costume on and shoved my dress in my purse, stashing it behind the toilet. When I came out I heard screaming and I saw the man now had a snake coming out of the hole where his freaky eye used to be. I made a forcefeild ball, shooting it his way and knocking him away from the girls. People started running out the door.

"Stand back baby mamma, we got this." Felicity told Ceceile. Felicity then picked up a chair, hitting him in the back with it. He turned around, glaring at her.

"Maybe let me handle this!" I called over my shoulder.

"Maybe that's a good idea!" 

"Please don't do this." Caitlin said from behind me.

"It didn't have to be this way." I glanced behind me and saw frost coming from her fingers. Killer Frost isn't gone.

"Caitlin? Caitlin!" I called.

"I was hoping to see you again." the guy said.

"Really? So I could give you another scar?" She pushed me lightly to the side, getting rid of her Boa and  shooting a spurt of ice at him, which sent him flying through the window. Killer Frost looked down at her outfit. "Ugh. I hate pink."
