A/N: Hullo everyone! This is my attempt at a collection of one-shots centering around our beloved couple, Snowbarry. Honestly, I don't know where this is going. A little plot bunny started nagging me when my family took a trip to a local water park. So here it is, the product of the said plot bunny!

Also, I plan for this fic to be a series of one-shots, with alphabetical prompts. As you can see, this one's entitled Amusement Park :D

Disclaimer: I do not own The Flash aww and the amusement park and roller coaster mentioned here are fictional. Lol.

AMUSEMENT PARK

Fantasy Land Amusement Park, Central City

January 21st, Friday 16:08 pm

"Roller coaster?" Caitlin gulped, tilting her head upwards as she squinted against the sunlight. She could vaguely see the outline of the amusement park ride, towering a good ten stories high and complete with three loops. She swallowed hard and faced her friends again. Cisco was beaming from cheek to cheek, his eyes wild with excitement. Barry was bouncing on his toes, looking as if he were ready to speed his way to the front of the line to ride the roller coaster.

"Um," she began, stepping back before the boys could join the long line of eager risk-takers. "I think I'll pass."

Barry stared at her, his mouth hanging open. "Hey, but you need to ride the Triple Turnover! It's the best attraction in this park!"

Caitlin winced. She didn't see how a ride ten-stories high was, in any way, exciting. Just looking at it made her stomach churn with fear. "Nope. I'll pass," she insisted, stepping back again.

"Don't try to force her," Cisco told Barry. "She's not really the extreme rides kind of girl."

Barry's expression softened, causing Caitlin to blush. Great, now he saw her as a coward. She glared at Cisco before flashing Barry a nervous smile. "Yeah, I'm not the type to ride extreme rides. I'll pass. I can wait for you guys by the exit."

Barry took a second before stepping out the line, following her. "Are you sure?" he asked her.

Caitlin shrugged. "Yeah. I'll wait for you guys by the exit."

Barry didn't look convinced. "I'll wait with you if you want," he offered.

Cisco rolled his eyes. "So what, I'll ride the Triple Turnover by myself? How lame is that!"

Caitlin wanted to slap her friend so he would shut up. Cisco really wasn't helping the situation. It was bad enough that he suggested going to an amusement park for their day-off. Caitlin wasn't exactly scared of rides, but she wasn't a big fan of barreling down rickety rides at a 100 km/h.

Caitlin huffed. "Fine, I'll ride the freaking Triple Turnover," she muttered, stepping back in the line behind Cisco.

Barry raised an eyebrow up at her. "Are you sure? You don't need to ride it if you're scared, you know?"

Caitlin felt as if she had been slapped. "Me? Scared?" she choked. Cisco made a big "O" with his mouth and looked away, as if to avoid the upcoming confrontation.

Barry scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply – "

"I'm not scared," Caitlin retorted, crossing her arms firmly across her chest. She stuck her chin out to prove her point, but deep inside, she knew it was a half-lie. She was always scared of things that went too fast. She was scared whenever she rode with Cisco going home from S.T.A.R. Labs; his speedometer always never dipped below 120km/h. She was scared of going uncontrollably fast on her bicycle, for God's sake! She hated the rush she got in her stomach and the feeling of wind whistling on her face and through her hair set her nerves on edge.

Cisco had turned around to face them again. "Ha, say that again without blanching and we might just believe you, Dr. Snow."

The line moved forward and people cheered excitedly. Caitlin felt her stomach drop. Shit. I should have backed out when I could.

"You sure about this? We can always go out if you don't think you can make it," Barry told her gently as they were pushed ahead with the crowd.

This was seriously the last thing Caitlin wanted to do, ride on her first extreme roller coaster with Barry Allen by her side. She'd probably throw up all over him, oh God, that couldn't happen.

"Just hold my hand, you'll be okay," he said, distracting her from her thoughts. "This ride just goes a 120 km/h, you'll be fine! I travel at the speed of – "

"Light," Caitlin managed to finish his sentence. She smiled up at him shakily. "Just please, forgive me if I throw up on you half way through that second loop." She frowned as she looked back up at the ride.

Barry laughed. "You got this, Caitlin Snow. " They walked forward and reached the docking area. Caitlin swallowed hard as she stepped in the cart, Barry following behind her. Cisco had taken the cart in front of them, and a pretty, blonde, girl sat next to him.

Barry elbowed Caitlin and chuckled at how Cisco was smoothly trying to inch up closer to the girl. Caitlin laughed weakly, her fear still distracting her.

"Cisco, you are sooo embarrassing," Barry laughed.

"Ha ha, yeah," Caitlin replied. The metal bars came down over their shoulders and chest, and Caitlin felt short of breath. This was it, she was going to ride her first roller coaster. "Oh God, I don't think I can do this."

"You can! Trust me, just scream it out and you'll be fine. No one has ever died on this roller coaster, I think," Barry said, shrugging.

"Well, you can't die from roller coasters, but you can die from a heart attack." Caitlin gulped. "And the way my heart is beating right now, I'm pretty sure that's not a far off idea."

"Dr. Snow, if in any case that happens, I'm going to make sure we sue this amusement park and have them rename it the Caitlin Snow Park. Sound like a good deal?"

Caitlin punched him lightly on the shoulder. Why did Barry Allen have to be so dashingly amusing sometimes? He always knew how to make her laugh.

"Please keep your hands and feet inside the cart at all times. Enjoy the ride!" a female's voice on the speaker boomed.

The cart lurched forward, and with a chill up her spine, Caitlin realized that the ride had begun. She felt Barry squeeze her hand tightly. The cart tilted backward as it climbed up the steep slope, throwing Caitlin's hair back, straining her neck. She dared not look down or around her, for fear of realizing how high they actually were?

Did she forget to mention that she had a fear of heights, too? This explained why she had chosen the life of a bio-engineer in the laboratory. Scientists didn't have to deal with heights or speed on a daily basis. That was Barry's job.

She shut her eyes tight, her muscles taut. "Barry, is it too late to back out? I don't think I do this," she murmured through her clenched jaw.

Barry's voice sounded way relaxed considering how high up they were. Was he really this used to the extremes? "Um, honestly? Yeah – "

He didn't have the opportunity to finish his sentence as at that moment, the cart suddenly lurched forward and tipped over the highest point.

"OH MY GOD!" Caitlin screamed. Everything blurred around her and she felt the wind in her face and the butterflies in her stomach and the rush of adrenaline. She felt weightless, her muscles drawn so tight, she was sure she would get lactic acid fermentation in them after this ride. Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the metal bar in-front of her.

Caitlin shut her eyes. Oh God, oh God I'm going to die.

She could faintly hear Barry yelling from beside her. "Caitlin!" he yelled from above the wind. "Open your eyes! Raise your hands up!"

Her muscles were still drawn tight, her fists still clenched around the metal bar. She was scared that if she let go of herself for just a bit, she'd fall off the ride.

"Caitlin! Try it!" Barry yelled.

Slowly, she squinted. Everything was a blur, a rush of colors. Then she opened her eyes.

And she didn't regret it.

They were high up, ten stories high in the sky. Then suddenly they were rushing down towards the ground, so quickly, Caitlin had to remember that she wasn't free falling. Then they were up again, going on the second loop, and she had not thrown up on Barry yet! Barry seemed to remember this, and he glanced at Caitlin for a second to smile at her. Caitlin would have smiled back, if she weren't so busy screaming her head off.

They were twisting now, right and left, Caitlin was scared she would be thrown off her seat. Scared…Wait. That wasn't the right word anymore. More like, thrilled.

They were riding the third loop now, and Caitlin felt the blood in her body rush up to her head as they did a 360-degree turn.

Then just as quickly as it began, the ride came to a halt.

There was a POOOOOF! sound and the metal bars lifted off their shoulders. Caitlin couldn't wipe the stupid grin off her face. She had done it! She had actually ridden an extreme roller coaster!

"Please exit towards your right. Have a nice day!"

Caitlin got up shakily, following Barry's lead as they walked out. "Oh my God! Barry! I actually did it! I rode the Triple Turnover! I think I wanna do it again!"

Cisco and Barry staggered over to a nearby bench, where Cisco collapsed and Barry leaned over the wooden frame.

"Guys?"

"Uuhhhhhh," Cisco moaned, throwing his arm over his face. "I think I'll pass."

"What about the Flash? Are you up for another go?"

Barry swallowed hard, and Caitlin noted that his face had gone slightly green. "Just give me a couple of minutes."

Caitlin shook her head and smiled. "I can't believe I survived that thing!"

Barry managed a weak smile. "I can't believe it either," he said. He reached out to squeeze Caitlin's hand, sending shivers down her spine.

"Thanks," she told him. "Your advice really helped me."

Barry smirked. "Which one? To open your eyes, or to hold my hand?"

A/N: I don't know about you guys, but I could totally see myself in Caitlin's character here. I am not a big fan of roller coasters either. Heh.

Tell me what you think in your reviews! Hope you guys stick around for the next chapter! I've got lots of cheesier, fluffier Snowbarry scenes in-store for you!
