Thanks to all me reviewers. You guys give me motivation to write….. Even if I think my writing is mediocre.

Quick note.

If you haven't already realized I'm writing all these stories around the phrase Princess Snow, hence the name. It will inevitably be in every chapter if I can manage it. Plus I'll be writing some of my own scenes between Barry and Caitlin apart from what we really wanted to see in each new episode. This is one of my own creations.

"No!" Caitlin exclaimed shaking her head at Cisco, "Absolutely not!"

Cisco crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head, "Nope Caitlin. A bet's a bet and you loss so you've got to pay up."

"This is unbelievable!" Caitlin cried throwing her hands up in the air, "You can't really make me do this!"

"Hey!" retorted Cisco, "I worked hard to win this bet and you're going to pay up."

"Please." Caitlin pleaded putting on her best puppy dog face. It didn't work on Cisco, apparently only he and Barry could pull off that look. "Dr. Wells please reason with him."

Dr. Wells rolled out of his office with an amused grin on his face. He had been watching his two scientist bicker for the past ten minutes. It always surprised him how two people that each had an IQ larger than the entire Central City Police force combined, could act like children. Too often he really felt like a principle chastising his students especially when it came to Barry.

"Caitlin you made a bet and you lost. You have to honor your word and pay up." Dr. Wells replied much to Cisco's satisfaction. He saw his young bioengineer's face fall.

"But Dr. Wells you don't know what he gonna make me do!" Caitlin protested.

Dr. Wells shook his head, "So long as it doesn't involve you killing someone or creating a Doomsday device I really don't see the problem."

Caitlin pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. Dr. Wells couldn't help but think she look like a little girl. Add two pig tails and you really wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. As Dr. Wells turned to return to his office he added over the shoulder, "It can't be that bad Caitlin." He didn't miss Caitlin's defeated sigh and Cisco's whoop of triumphant. Dr. Wells really was a principle, STAR labs his school and Barry, Cisco and Caitlin his students, his brilliant wonderful students.

Caitlin was in her kitchen eating breakfast when she heard the knock on her front door. She made her way out of the kitchen her bare feet, padding lightly on the wooded floor. She opened the door and let out an audible groan. Cisco was standing in her doorway with a massive grin plastered on his face. In his hand he held a long garment carrier with the words "Central City Princess Shop" delicately scrawled across the front in pink. In his other hand Caitlin saw a velvet jewelry box. It was too big to be a necklace and one thing came to Caitlin's mind and it caused her to grimace which in turn caused Cisco to grin wider.

"No." Caitlin said before she tried to shut Cisco out. However, he was expecting that and placed his foot in the doorway to stop her from locking him out.

"Come on Caitlin." Cisco implored, "A deals a deal. You wouldn't want me to call Dr. Wells would you?"

Upon hearing that Cisco was willing to get Dr. Wells involved again, Caitlin relented. She opened the door and let Cisco in. He entered with a spring in his step. Once Caitlin closed the door she turned to face him.

"We better hurry up you have an appointment to make." Cisco revealed.

"What appointment?" Caitlin asked skeptically.

"No time for idle chit chat Caitlin." Cisco said grabbing her by the arm and dragging her into her bedroom, "We've got things to do and places to be."

Barry spun around in his chair bored out of him mind. He turned to face Dr. Wells who was working on something in his lab.

"Dr. Wells, where're Caitlin and Cisco? They're not usually the late ones in this team." Barry asked.

Dr. Wells stopped typing at his computer and rolled down into main area. "Don't worry, we all know that title is reserved for you Mr. Allen but Cisco and Caitlin had to…..ummmm….let's just say they had personal matters to attended to."

This peaked Barry's interest. Barry never really thought about Caitlin and Cisco hanging out outside the office. Sure there was that time they went to the bar with Eddie and Iris but if truth be told Barry really need them there to distract him from all Iris and Eddie's couple stuff.

Barry guessed it shouldn't surprise that Caitlin and Cisco did things without him. They did know each other longer than they had known him and they were friends longer with each other than they were with him but that didn't mean he couldn't feel left out.

"What kind of personal matters?" Barry inquired eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Dr. Wells smiled at him knowing just why Barry was so curious. He had watched the young man grow to know and love the other members of his team. He could understand why Barry was so curious to know where they were but he would just have to wait and see for himself.

"Unfortunately I'm not at liberty to say Barry. In fact I'm not even sure where they are right now."

Barry huffed in frustration. He knew Dr. Wells wasn't being completely truthful but there was no way he was going to get the man to speak.

"Come let's go see how fast you can run today."

Barry had been running for the last hour when he heard Cisco's laughter echo through the lab. He tried ignoring the sound as he pushed himself to run faster. Neither Cisco nor Caitlin had come into the treadmill room since they arrived. Even though Barry was trying to ignore it he was hearing the chatter from the other room. It was a bit muffled. That coupled with the noise from the treadmill made it virtually impossible to distinguish what was being said. However, there was one thing Barry couldn't miss.

The laugh of Dr. Harrison Wells. The man barely smiled and here he was laughing and Barry was missing it.

Barry stopped the treadmill and grabbed his towel to wipe off the little sweat that he had accumulated before making his way out of the treadmill room.

"What's so….."

Barry never got to finish his question because he found himself gaping widely like a fish. There standing in front of him was Caitlin dressed like a princess. If we were to be specific Caitlin wasn't dressed like any ole princess. She was dressed like Belle from the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast.

Barry couldn't get over the sight in front of him. He had never seen someone look so beautiful. Caitlin had the entire princess getup, dress and grown to match. Her massive yellow and gold skirt encircled her making her already slim waist look even smaller. The bodice of the dress was cut low and a gorgeous pearl necklace was strung across her neckline. Her hair was pinned up in messy loose curls that spiraled down on her shoulders in auburn twirls. White pearls were placed in between the spirals like hidden gems in her hair. Even her make-up was done to perfection so that Caitlin was the picture image of Belle.

Barry couldn't find his words. Whatever he was about to say got lost on his throat and his minds had gone completely blank. He was awestruck.

"Dr. Wells we're so sorry for being this late," Caitlin apologized, "Cisco, after getting me to put on this hideous get up, dragged me to the hair salon to get this done."

Barry walked over to Cisco all the while never taking his eyes off of Caitlin.

"You did this?" Barry asked indicating to Caitlin.

Cisco grinned widely and popped a lollipop into his mouth. "Yup."

"Oh man you really are a genius!" Barry exclaimed.

Caitlin turned on her heels, which happened to be really high and unstable, and almost tripped over her massive skirt. Caitlin prepared herself to hit the ground hard but the impact never came. Instead she found herself in a pair of strong arms. Barry had run across the lab and caught her before she could make contact with the ground. He was grinning down at her madly and Caitlin felt her ire rise. She pushed herself out of Barry's arm and stood up straight. She fixed Barry with a stern gaze and said, "This is not funny Barry Allen!"

Usually Caitlin posed a very intimidating figure when she was mad. She was one of those persons Barry never wanted to get on the bad side of, but he couldn't find it in himself to take her seriously. Especially when she was wearing a princess ball gown. Barry tried to suppress his laughter but it came out none the less. Caitlin's eyes narrowed in anger. If Barry knew what was good for him he would have shut up but the guy really never could take a hint.

"Well you look very nice Caitlin." Dr. Wells put in hoping to break the tension between Caitlin and the boys.

"Yea you really do look nice Caitlin." Barry piped in hoping to earn himself some forgiveness for his earlier laughter.

Caitlin's expression softened considerable. A faint blush spread across her face upon hearing the compliments from Dr. Wells and Barry. She sighed and her shoulders slumped in defeat. "I guess I should have known better than to make a bet with Cisco."

"What?" Barry exclaimed looking back and forth between Caitlin and Cisco, "This is because of a bet?"

"Well I didn't choose to wear this out of my own free will." snapped Caitlin. She moved over to her work station and tried to sit in front of her computer. Unfortunately the size of her skirt was making it difficult to sit properly and eventually Caitlin groaned out in defeat and decided to work from her tablet. All the while Barry, Cisco and Dr. Wells had watched her struggle.

"All right let's get back to work." Dr. Wells proclaimed.

Caitlin fidgeted in her dress while she tried to find a comfortable spot on her chair. Her day hadn't been going well so far. Apart from the whole working in a princess costume part, Cisco had been determined to make sure she never forgot what she was wearing. He constantly made snide little comments about her tiara being crooked or her horse drawn carriage waiting for her outside. Coupled with Cisco's unnecessary comments Caitlin couldn't help but feel watched and she wasn't wrong.

Barry hadn't been able to focus since Caitlin entered the lab that morning. He found himself staring at her at every possible opportunity. Whenever Caitlin had her back turned Barry had his eyes on her. Neither Cisco nor Caitlin herself noticed. Cisco was too busy tormenting Caitlin and she was too busy trying to keep her composure to detected Barry's lingering eye.

However, not everyone in the lab that day was so unfocused. Dr. Wells sat in his small office and observed all the happenings in the main lab area. He found it all so amusing. From Caitlin and Cisco squabbling to Barry acting like a love sick puppy, it all amused him.

"Mr. Allen." Barry didn't hear Dr. Wells call his name at first. He was too absorbed in gawking at Caitlin to be bothered. Dr. Wells rolled his wheelchair closer to Barry and tried again.

"Mr. Allen!"

Barry nearly jumped out of his chair. He spun around to face Dr. Wells. He had a surprised and slightly embarrassed look on his face. Caitlin and Cisco were too busy with their own work to care about Barry or Dr. Wells at the moment.

"May I have a word Mr. Allen?' inquired Dr. Wells. Barry scratched the back of his head nervously and followed Dr. Wells into his office. Dr. Wells was going to have some fun with his protégés, all of them.

"Barry is everything okay?" Dr. Wells asked while he rolled ahead of Barry, a small smile on his lips.

Barry's face lit up like a candle, "Of course Dr. Wells. I'm….. I'm fine."

Dr. Wells resisted the urge to chuckle at Barry's nervousness. "Are you sure? You seem to be very distracted today Barry?"

Barry gave Dr. Wells a nervous smiled and tried to play dumb. "What do you mean? I totally fine."

Dr. Wells gave Barry a suspicious look. He shrugged his shoulder at the younger man, "I don't know Barry you tell me."

It was now Barry's turn to give Dr. Wells a suspicious look. "What'd you mean? There's nothing to tell."

Dr. Wells took delight in Barry's offensiveness. He going to have even more fun now so long as he played his cards right.

"There isn't anything on your mind?" Dr. Wells asked, "Something that seems to be distracting you. Perhaps someone is on your mind by chance?"

Barry's eyes widened at the suggestion for a minute before he schooled his feature into a look of indifference. He prayed to God that Wells didn't notice his momentary lapse. "Of course not. I think I'm just not feeling all that well."

Barry regretted the words the minute they came out of his mouth. Just then he really wished he had the power to run back in time and not just really fast. Barry tried to think up another lie to get him out of his previous one but just then his mind decided to go blank.

"Is that so Mr. Allen?" Dr. Wells asked with a glint of mischievousness in his voice, "You should have said something sooner. I would have had Caitlin do a thorough check up."

"No!" Barry exclaimed loudly. His voice had been so loud that both Cisco and Caitlin had stopped what there were doing and turned to see what all the commotion was about. Barry dropped his voice and gritted out, "That won't be necessary Dr. Wells. I assure you I'm perfectly fine."

"Even so I should have Caitlin check you out just in case." Dr. Wells insisted.

"That's really not necessary!" Barry tried to explain.

"We really shouldn't be taking any chances with your health Mr. Allen and it won't be any trouble at all." claimed Dr. Wells, "I'll just have Caitlin come in and do a thorough check up."

Barry's face drained of all color. He really didn't want to face Caitlin right now. Especially when she was wearing that dress. "I'm telling you I'm fine!" Barry tried to convince Dr. Wells he was alright but he was too late. Dr. Wells was already rolling out of his office and into the main lab area.

"Caitlin can you come over here for a moment." Dr. Wells called.

Caitlin didn't bother to ask why Dr. Wells needed her. She simply stood up and gathered her massive skirt as she made her way over to the office. Upon reaching the incline at the entrance to the office, Caitlin looked a bit hesitant. Barry didn't have to think twice as he jumped up from his seat and darted over to offer Caitlin a hand, literally. She immediately accepted his outstretched hand and flashed Barry a grateful smile which caused his heart to flutter. Caitlin rarely smiled but when she did Barry felt like he was struck by lightning all over again.

"What can I do for you Dr. Wells?" inquired Caitlin once she was safely standing on level ground once again.

"Well," Dr. Wells began, "It seems Barry is feeling a bit under the weather today." Caitlin's expression immediately turned to one of concern. "I was wondering if you would give Barry a completely check-up. The full works Dr. Snow"

Dr. Wells could see Barry horrified expression from the sidelines.

"Of course Dr. Wells." Caitlin responded going into physician mode automatically. She turned to face Barry and fixed him with a stern glare, "Why didn't you tell us you weren't feeling okay today?"

"Because I'm perfectly fine!" Barry retorted. He took a step back from Caitlin and did a little twirl. "See perfectly fine."

Caitlin wasn't convinced.

"He's been rather unfocused today." informed Dr. Wells. Barry gave the man a death glare. "He also seems to be distracted by something or someone."

"Don't worry Dr. Wells. Once I'm through he's going to be as good as new." Caitlin assured. Barry wanted to groan. He could have barely kept his eyes off of Caitlin when she was across room from him. How was he supposed to keep his eyes to himself when she was standing right in front of him?

"Come Barry. Let's get you to the stretcher." Barry reluctantly followed Caitlin. He gave Dr. Wells a steely glare before he left the office to begin his self-torture.

"Hop on." Caitlin ordered. Barry did as he was told. He tried to keep his eyes downcast but it was pretty hard with Caitlin holding his face in her hands and shining a small light in his eyes.

She muttered something under her breath and finally let go of his face and turned to write something down in her file. Barry took a minute to study her closely. Caitlin really was breathtaking in that dress. He had always associated her professionalism. There was never a day that Barry walked into STAR Labs and didn't see Caitlin looking well put together. He always thought her wardrobe was strictly working dresses and pants suits accompanies by sensible shoes as Iris called them.

"Open your mouth."

"What?" Barry asked jumping back to reality. Caitlin gave him a pointed look and waved a hand in front of Barry's face.

"Dr. Wells was right." Caitlin said," You really are unfocused today."

"I am not." Barry defended.

Caitlin a disbelieving look before making her way across to a small table with syringes. "We're lucky the meta humans decided to take a break today."

"Hey!" Barry shouted clearly offended.

Caitlin turned to face him; one eyebrow raised daring him to contradict her. Normally Barry wouldn't hesitate to start a verbal sparring match with Caitlin but he forgot why he was angry in the first place. He was dumbstruck again and all because of that stupid dress.

With hands on her hips, Caitlin was staring down Barry and he couldn't tear his eyes off of her. She had that determined expression on her face that Barry always found cute. The fact that she was dressed up like a princess on seemed to amplify the cuteness. She was saying something but Barry didn't hear a word. All the blood and rushed to his ears and face.

The only thing that had registered in his mind was that the determined expression on Caitlin's face had changed to one of concern. He saw her rush over to his side as fast as she could in the dress and immediately check his pulse. Everything was moving in slow motion for Barry.

Caitlin was getting nervous. She snapped her fingers in front of Barry's to get his attention. It took a while but he eventually returned to the land of the living.

"Barry are you alright?"

Barry looked at Caitlin with a dazed look in his eyes. "Yea...umm what just happened?"

"You zoned out on me." Caitlin explained the panic evident in her voice, "Your heart rate elevated and I couldn't get a reading on the machine".

Barry's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't even realized that was happening. He guessed it was a side effect of his increased speed but it had never happened since he woke up from the coma. He looked at Caitlin and say that she had a worried expression etched onto her pretty features.

"I couldn't even get a pulse." she said in a small voice that had Barry feeling guilty. The last thing he wanted to do was worry Caitlin. She already had so much to deal with. He didn't want to add another situation to already long list of ordeals.

"Hey I'm fine now, okay." Barry said placing his hand on Caitlin's arm and squeezing gently to reassure her. She sighed and sat down in the chair beside the stretcher.

"What's the matter Barry?" Barry looked down at Caitlin from his position on the stretcher. He could see directly down the front of her dress. He blushed scarlet and turned away. He really shouldn't be ogling at one if his best friends like that.

"You haven't been yourself today." Caitlin continued.

"I'm fine." Barry tried again, refusing to make eyes contact with Caitlin.

"Are you sure?" Barry nodded his head but Caitlin wasn't convinced.

"Barry look at me." Caitlin ordered but he didn't listen. "Does it have something to do with work?" Barry shook his head slightly from side to side.

"Barry." Caitlin tried again but he still didn't look at her. This was starting to get uncomfortable for Barry. He really needed to get out of there as soon as possible.

"What? Does it have to do with Joe or Eddie?" Caitlin persisted.

"No... It's not..."

"Then what is?" Caitlin asked again clearly starting to get annoyed.

"It's nothing."

"No it's not Barry."

"Yes it is."

"Is it your dad?" Caitlin shot out.

"What? No!"

"Is it Dr. Wells?" Before Barry could reply Caitlin continued clearly aggravated, "Is it Iris? God damn it Barry look at me!"

"It's you okay!" Barry finally shouted turning to face Caitlin, "It's you."

"What?"

Barry sighed and dragged his hand across the front of his face. He let out a defeated laugh before finally turning to face Caitlin. "It's you," he repeated, "You're the one who's had me so confused and unfocused."

"But….how…. me?" Caitlin asked. She was still confused as to how she had such an effect on him. Barry looked at her and saw the utterly confused expression on her face. He finally realized Caitlin was completely oblivious to the effect she had on him. He couldn't help but laugh at how crazy the entire situation was.

Caitlin gave him a disapproving look when he started laughing. "This isn't funny! Why on earth would I be a distraction?"

"I know it isn't funny but how can you not be a distraction dressed like that." Barry waved his hand in front of him indicating at her dress.

"What this?" Caitlin asked bemused, "It hasn't affected anyone else like that. If every time a woman dressed up like a princess men got bewitched they would have closed down Disney World by now."

Barry laughed at Caitlin's meager attempt at joke. He tried to figure out how he was going to explain this to her without looking like absolute fool.

"It's just you really look like Belle."

Caitlin cocked her head to the side. "So?"

Barry felt the blood rush to his face. His cheeks felt warms and his heart rate had increased again. He took a deep breath and turned away from Caitlin. He really couldn't face her and say what he had to say.

"Belle's my favorite Disney princess."

"What?" Caitlin asked. She knew Barry had said something but he had spoken so softly that she barely managed to hear what he had.

"Belle's my favorite." he repeated.

Caitlin gave Barry an odd look followed by an amused giggle, "Your favorite?"

Barry groaned and hung his head down in shame. He knew this was a bad idea but he had to come clean or never be able to look Caitlin in the eye without imagining her in that dress.

"It's not like that okay!" Barry defended.

"Then what's it like?"

Barry opened his mouth to speak but found that he wasn't making any sound. He closed his mouth and contemplated his next words carefully. What he was about to say was immensely personal, not even Iris knew about it but then again Iris didn't know about a lot of things. Barry looked at Caitlin and saw nothing but earnest in her eyes. If he was going to share this with anyone it would be Caitlin. She knew practically everything about him, from his identity as the Flash to his decade long infatuation with Iris, she knew it all. So what was one more thing?

"Every year for Halloween my mom and dad would get matching costumes." Barry began to explain, "The Halloween the year my mom was murdered, our last Halloween, they dressed up like Beauty and the Beast. I guess you just really remind me of her in that dress."

"Oh Barry." Caitlin held his hand gently in her own and squeezed it reassuringly, "If we had known…."

"It's okay. I'm not sad." Barry replied, "In fact it's nice to see you in something pretty for a change."

Caitlin withdrew her hand from Barry's and he missed the contact. She gave a fake look of insult. She knew he was just trying to lighten the mood.

"So what are you saying? That I don't look flawless everyday?"

Barry gave Caitlin a wide grin at her failed attempt to be insulted. He hopped off the stretcher and gave Caitlin an over exaggerated bow. "Of course not. You look dazzling every day."

Caitlin laughed at Barry's antics. She decided that she would play along with Barry. She got up and curtsied for him. "Well you are indeed a charmer aren't you?"

Barry rose from his bow with an even wider grin on his face. "Can you blame a guy when you look that good?"

It was now Caitlin's turn to blush scarlet. She smiled sweetly at Barry which caused him to lose focus again. "How about we go get some lunch. We can order a pizza."

"I didn't know Princesses ate that kind of thing." Barry joked.

"Central City princesses do." retorted Caitlin. Barry offered Caitlin his arm which she gratefully accepted as they made their way out of the room.

'Hey Barry."

"Hmmmm?"

"There's still one thing that I don't get. If I remind you if your mom why do you blush everytime you look at me?"

Barry cursed internally at Caitlin's perceptiveness. He was hoping she hadn't noticed that.

"Well mom did dress like Belle but...ah... her costume wasn't so revealing." Barry explained.

Caitlin eyes widened a little. "What do you mean?"

"Ummmm?" Barry began but just decided to show. He pointed awkwardly at the neckline of her dress. Caitlin looked down and gasped before trying to pulling up the dress. She hadn't realized how low the dress really was. It was showing more cleavage than she considered decent. The dress didn't budge and Caitlin was resigned to leaving it as is much to Barry delight.

"I'm going to kill Cisco!" she declared.

Barry chuckled. "I'm sorry but I can't let you do that Caitlin. Cisco did us all a favor. Plus I can't condone murder, even if you are a princess."

Caitlin gave Barry a steely glare to which he only raised his hands in mock surrender. She swatted him on his shoulder before grabbing his arm and continuing down the hall.

Before they got very far Barry stopped and turned to face Caitlin, "What was the bet anyway?"

"Ummmm... I bet him he couldn't beat me in Operation."

Barry laughed out loud. Caitlin should have known better than to bet Cisco for something like that. She couldn't even beat him at that game.

"The game's not even anatomically correct." Caitlin muttered. Barry just laughed harder and hugged Caitlin.

"Whatever you say Princess Snow."

Here it is. PURE FLUFF for SnowBarry!

This is the longest chapter I've written for this story. Sorry it isn't on episode 12. I don't have any internet at home right now so don't expect an update too soon. Hopefully I can have two chapters up by next Saturday one for episode 12 and 13.

Thanks to all my reviewers. You guys give me motivation to keep writing.
