     Weddings. A joyous time for almost everyone in attending. It may remind some people of bad times, but they were mostly filled with joy. That's why this specific wedding was going to be the highlight of Team Flash. Of course, one person wasn't invited. Ralph. 

     Olive told him that he probably wasn't invited for a reason, but to always keep his hopes up. You never know when another wedding is gonna pop up. She also pointed out that half of the marriages in modern society end up in divorce. 

     "That shouldn't make me feel any better," Ralph said holding his arms in the air. 

     "Well, it doesn't make me feel any better either," Olive protested. They were currently in her apartment after going out for breakfast at Jitters. Of course, Olive paid for it. Ralph was still scarce on money. "Do you want me to put you as my plus one, or should I go alone?" 

     "I don't want you to go alone, but you shouldn't go with me either. We all know how Barry's bachelor party turned out," Ralph said with a sigh. 

     "How did it turn out?" Olive asked turning to face him. 

     "Uh, swell. It was great," Ralph said with a wide smile. Olive searched in his mind for that night, then her eyes widened. Ralph noticed it, panic flooding his system. "Okay, before you say anything-" 

     "You took Barry to a strip club?" Olive asked turning to Ralph. 

     "He only cried about chicken wings and Titanic the whole night. Besides, I felt guilty after and left you the flowers and note. Which has lead us to today," Ralph said motioning around him. 

     "It's like you're saying you live here," Olive said sitting next to him on the couch. 

     "Well, I have slept on the couch the past two nights," Ralph said pointing at Olive. "And you still refuse to kiss me."

     "Okay, I have a real reason for that. Which I cannot tell you yet. That's like... level nine friendship and level six relationship," Olive said looking at Ralph. 

     "Then what level is kissing?" Ralph asked confused. "Cause usually the third is-" 

    "Don't, Ralph," Olive said stopping him. "It's like level three or something. I don't know. I'm barely keeping track anymore." 

     "We should really skip to level three," Ralph said sitting up straight. 

     "Not yet. I have to respond to Iris tonight if I'm going," Olive said looking at Ralph. "Are you going or not?" 

     "Since you won't kiss me, then I will not be your plus one," Ralph said as a final decision. Olive rolled her eyes, checking the 'graciously accepts, but no plus one' line. She stood up, setting it on the counter to take back to S.T.A.R. Labs later. She then jumped back onto the couch and leaned into Ralph's arms. "I do like this." 

     "Yeah, I know you do," Olive laughed. She shut her eyes as the TV played quietly. She was, in that moment, genuinely happy. 

          *****

     It was no doubt that Iris and Barry's wedding was going to be packed. Olive walked in wearing a blue dress that stopped at her knee's. The last wedding she went to was twelve past lives ago. And it was hers. But, she's dead now. Not much she can do.
