SNOWBARRY WEEK 2018
DAY 1: PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS/CRIME/MYSTERY
She's a detective, Detective Caitlin Snow. She's being mentored by the head detective, Detective Eddie Thawne. He's a mentalist, although he works with the police department claiming to be a psychic. He uses his skills to solve crimes.
He meets her in a coffee shop. He grabs and newspaper and walks back to his seat only to find a beautiful woman sitting in his place. He walks up to her. "Excuse me, you're in my seat." She turns to him with a raised eyebrow. "Am I?"
He tilts his head slightly. "Actually yes you are." She tilts her head and furrows her eyebrows. "Are you one of those weirdo compulsives who come to the same restaurant, come to the same chair and eat the same food every day?" He blinks and replies with a small shake of his head. "N-no, no I was sitting right there three minutes ago and then I went outside to get myself a paper," He gestures to the paper in his hand. "I ordered a juice," He pulls the juice closer to him, "And look I made a crawling snake with the straw wrapper. You can finish it if you think you're up to the job."
A smile graces her face. "I'm sorry, do you want me to move?" He smiles back, "Not anymore."
He sits down next to her. "So what's up?" "I don't have time to talk." "But you haven't heard what I'm going to say," Barry points out. "Now we've already talked more than I wanted to." She moves to reach for something in her bag. He notices the picture of her parents in her bag and the cat hair on her arm.
"I did give you my seat, I think that gives me one question."
"Listen, diner guy," Caitlin starts. "Barry," He offers up his name. "Barry," She continues, "I'm flattered really. Very often I am happy to meet new people. But today, right here, right now, I can't talk."
"I understand, I do. So what if I do the talking for both of us." "Have at it," She rolls her eyes, "Do you mind if I read the paper and stare aimlessly while you two talk?" "No," Barry grins and Caitlin smiles while looking down. "Can I get a name to work with?" Barry asks before taking a sip of his drink. "Caitlin," She replies.
"Well it's very nice to meet you, Caitlin." "It's nice to meet you too, Barry," Barry replies to himself in a high pitched voice, "And I'm sorry about your seat, so lunch is on me." Caitlin narrows her eyes at him but he continues. "So what do you for living?"
Then he's Barry again. "A little bit of everything."
Back to Caitlin. "Ooh that's sounds interesting and maybe a little dangerous. Ooh I like your jacket, I like it a-" Caitlin interrupts him, "Okay, can I stop you there? First off, in your portrayal of me, I sound like I'm in eighth grade."
"Well in my portrayal of you, you only have an eighth grade education." She shoots him a dead pan look. "Okay let's smarten you up… college?" He asks, "Top of your class? Graduated early?" She shoots him a smile and he knows he's right. "Got it," He folds his arms. "
"I'm new to town and I don't know many people," He says in her voice, "But I do know my cats. Two of them… The grey one of very affectionate, the white one makes me work much harder for the attention." "And what about your family?" Barry asks.
"My family is amazing," He replies as Caitlin, "My parents have been together for what is it, 30 years now?" Caitlin is shocked and narrows he eyes at him. How can he know all of this? "Okay do we know each other?"
"Yes you are the girl who stole my seat!"
She's about to retort when a man walks into the coffee shop. Caitlin recognises him as her target. Barry looks between the two of them and it dawns on him. "Oh my god, you're a cop!" He accuses her a whisper. Her eyes dart from side to side. "I'm not a cop."
"The newspaper, the exit point, the layout, of course," He slaps his forehead, "Defensive when scary guy walked in… You're totally a cop."
"Okay, Barry, I'm going to need you do me a favour…"
"Anything," He replies immediately. "Duck," She replies and he does so with no hesitation. She whips out her gun and aims it at the criminal. The criminal tries to make a run for it but he's surrounded.
That's how they meet and how it begins.
Then years pass, with constant flirting between them and almost dates but the time never seems to be right. She's not ready to admit her feelings so he tries to move on. He finally moves on and she tells him how she feels. He wants to pick her up and spin her around, but Iris and him are finally dating. He can't just break her heart because Caitlin is finally ready to deal with her feelings. He and Iris ride out their relationship. He wants to run to her, but he doesn't want her to think she's a rebound, so he waits.
She almost dies of a deadly disease but he fights tooth and nail to get the cure for her. He almost tells her the truth. That he's not really psychic and he's in love with her. But he's interrupted so he waits. But he waits to long and she starts dating someone else, Ronnie.
He goes undercover to help a spy. All the cops arrest the spy, but Caitlin waits in the van. Barry is wearing a wire and talking to Cisco. Caitlin overhears their conversation. "I know she was gorgeous but in that moment, all I could think about was Cait. I just can't wrap myself around the fact that she's dating Ronnie… It's actually killing me. Serious Barry moment here, I want to be happy too. For some reason, I can't imagine that happening without Caitlin."
The next day, she's about to leave on a trip with Ronnie. Barry and Cisco go to Ronnie's house to see them off. When they get there, Ronnie says that Caitlin broke up with him because she's in love with someone else. Barry's heart sinks.
He goes to his house and finds Caitlin sitting on his doorstep in the rain. She's soaked. "Cait, what are you doing here?" "I heard what you said," She swallows, "I want you to be happy too and I can't imagine being happy with anyone but you." She kisses him and he kisses her back just as passionately.
And the rest is history.
