Superflash: An impossible dream?

Chapter 5 - Morning Talk

"I just had the weirdest dream." Alex said while making scrambled eggs for breakfast.

"What was it about?" Kara asked.

"So remember the party on Friday night?" Alex asked.

"Yeah. The one you forced me to go to." Kara remembered. Truthfully, she would never forget the party. Not after the kiss.

"Right. So in this dream, you and Barry went into this room, and disappeared for like 5 minutes. While you two were inside, I could hear you two kissing. That wasn't the main part of the dream, but it was what weirded me out the most." Alex said. 

"Ha! That sounds so weird. The thing is, he's dating Iris, and that won't come true." Kara said nervously.

"Oh. My. God." Alex said, shocked.

"What?" Kara asked.

"You kissed Barry." Alex replied.

"Wha- N- I- I did not kiss Barry." Kara said nervously.

"Crinkle. Now tell me what happened." Alex said excitedly.

"Fine. Barry was like really drunk and I really wanted to just kiss him so I took him to his room and kissed him and it was the best feeling ever like there was lightning coming off his lips but then I tasted the alcohol on his lips and realised it was all just a lie and he was drunk so I took him back to his game of beer pong to get more drunk so he would forget the day and now I can't help but feel guilty that I kissed him but that's not it Eliza told me before the party that love felt like sparks and when I kissed Barry I felt sparks so I think I'm in love with Barry." Kara super-said at super-speed in one breath.

"What?" Alex asked.

"I kissed Barry when he was drunk and I think I love him." Kara said.

"The love part I understand, but why did you kiss him when he was drunk?" Alex asked.

"I don't know. I just saw him drunk and wasted so I figured I could find out what it was like. What do you mean you understood the love part?" Kara asked.

"Eliza told me that she thought you loved Barry after you had that whole breakdown. Now that you have acknowledged your feelings, you need to get over Barry." Alex said.

"Right. How?" Kara asked.

"You avoid him, because you don't want to make any old feelings come up until you are really over him. Before that though, we are going to play a game." Alex smiled.

"A game?" Kara clarified. She was not in the mood for a game.

"Yeah. You are going to list all of Barry's flaws." Alex said excitedly.

"Huh. So Barry's biggest flaw is..." Kara began, only to realise she couldn't think of any.

"I'll start us off. Barry is an awkward person a lot of the time." Alex said.

"Yeah, but that's what makes me like him so much. He's an awkward person that understands another awkward person." Kara replied.

"Well he's a nerd." Alex said.

"A nerd without whom I wouldn't have been able to pass my exams." Kara shouted.

"Oh come on. I'm trying to help, you need to work with me, otherwise this could take months." Alex said.

"Then it will take months. I can avoid him, but I won't try to degrade the one person I am not related to that is actually nice to me. He could have been mean like anyone else, but no. The least I can do for him is be nice to him. Even behind his back." Kara said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but how do you plan on moving on from him?" Alex genuinely asked.

"Next week I'm going to Stanhope College in National City. I'll forget all about Barry and this school. We've only been her for like a month and a half, so I won't have a problem forgetting everyone here." Kara said.

"Ok. Hopefully it will work. It's going to be weird not sharing the house with my alien sister. I hope we can stay in touch through uni." Alex said.

"Yeah. I'll be in National City though, so we can always meet." Kara said.

"Yeah. I'm gonna sleep. Can you get me some coffee?" Alex asked.

"Since when do you drink coffee?" Kara asked back.

"It's a hangover cure." Alex said.

"How many times have you been drunk?!?" Kara asked in amazement. How did her sister know all this?

"Since I turned 15." Alex replied simply, as if it was normal.

"Huh. That's healthy." Kara said sarcastically.

"Yep."
