"Thank you for the treat Mr. Allen." Caitlin thanked Barry's father as she sipped her chocolate milkshake.

"You're most welcome Caitlin."Henry smiled at her "Anything will do for our Science quiz bee champions!" He triumphantly said while holding their trophy and smiled wider.

"However, let's not forget our new teacher, teacher Wells, for helping us." Barry, who is sitting beside his father and admiring the trophy,cut in. Meanwhile, Cisco sneakily get some of Barry's fries.

"Hey Hands off my fries !" Barry noticed Cisco's move and grabbed his fries away from Cisco

"Barry." Henry admonished at his son. "But big belly burger's fries are my favorite." Barry replied.

"It will be great if you share them." Henry get the fries at Barry's hand and shared it to Cisco. "Thank you Mr. Allen, but it is Barry's and I eat all of mine so I had enough." Cisco politely refused.

"Anyway, Caitlin ?" Henry addressed her "Barry told me the scratch on his knee"

"I'm sorry Mr. Allen, that's my fault." Cisco apologized to him.

"No... Cisco,don't apologize. It was all an accident. Scratches and wounds are part of everyone's child hood." Henry patted his son's back. "Barry told me that Caitlin did a great job in patching Barry's scratch. I admire your work,future Dr. Snow." He clapped

"Thank you Mr. Allen, it is such a great pleasure to be complimented by a doctor." Caitlin politely responded.

"And let's not forget Cisco. For being Caitlin's great assistant. Thank you for being my son's great friends. High Five ?" Henry continued and offered a high-five. They accepted it and continued their little celebration.


"Cisco, why are we here ?" Caitlin wandered around on Cisco's bedroom. "What is that ?" Barry pointed at something that is covered in a white cloth.

"Please, Questions will be entertained after the presentation. First, Have a seat." Cisco guided his friends to seat on his bed.

"Okay" Barry mouthed while Caitlin followed Cisco's instructions.

"For the most awaited moment." Cisco stood beside the thing that Barry pointed and rubs his hands together "May I present to you, the first invention of Ramon Industries…" Cisco commanded both of his friends "Caitlin,the play button please and Barry,the party popper."

Caitlin played a drum roll on the cassette player while Barry prepared the party popper. Cisco repeated his dialogue "May I present to you, the first invention of Ramon Industries…" He removed the white cloth and said "SWEEP !" The white cloth reveals a broom that is attached in a remote controlled car.

Various colors of confetti was showered in the whole room as Barry opened the party popper. Both Barry and Caitlin clapped at their friend.

Cisco bowed down. "Sweep! lets a child do his chore without interrupting his playtime. It is a chore and a playtime at the same time. Now, a child will always look forward in sweeping the whole house's floor !" The two listened attentively and clapped again.

"For the demo part, Let's see if this thing works by cleaning all of these !" Cisco pointed to the confettis that are scattered on the floor.

He quickly get the remote control and operated his machine.

At first, the machine is working well. It managed to sweep all of the confettis at a particular part of the bedroom. However, Cisco unknowingly pushed the wrong button, making the machine to brush the broom in any direction causing the sweeped confettis to scatter again and even making more mess.

"Cisco..." Barry tapped him.

"Barry, I know. Don't pressure me." He irritatedly replied.

"Aha ! This is the button !" Cisco pushed a button, but to his surprise, it made the situation harder and this time, the broom was dettached on his toy car. The car roamed around the room for several times until it crashed onto the doorway. After watching this terrible scenario, Cisco stood in his place speechlessly as his eyes are starting to water.

Barry put a hand on his shoulder and assisted him to sit on the bed. Caitlin moved a space for him to sit on and immediately patted her friend's back. "Come on Cisco, your idea was wonderful. You just missed something in the execution part. You can work on it again." She comforted her friend. "It is just your first try dude. Great inventions doesn't always turn out well in the first try. Cheer up !" Barry added.

"Barry's right Cisco." Caitlin stood and picked up the broom. "I think we should clean up before Dante tells this to your mom."

"And hey at least we learned something" Barry cut in "There are things that we should only do manually." Both him and Caitlin laughed. "Come on Cisco, let's clean. But this time, manually." Barry said while punching lightly his friend at the arm.

"Barry, please tell why did you become my best friend ?" Cisco gave him a look "because I'm starting to regret it."


"Here's the your last spoon…" Barry's mother,Nora,poured the thick bluish syrup in a teaspoon. "Do I really have to take that ?" Barry melancholy asked. "Of course Barry! It is what your father prescribed." Nora tried to convice her son. "But that sticky bluish liquid taste terrible. It tastes like a blended broccoli." Barry exclaimed in disgust.

"It is up to you." Nora tries to trick her son "Either you drink this magic potion and be disgusted with the flavor for a few seconds or spent a week or two,which feels like an eternity for a kid, being isolated here because of that tiny little spots in your skin ?"

"You can't play outside, attend school and be with your friends for a whole week because you might infect them." Nora is still holding the spoon waiting for Barry to respond.

"I'll take it." Barry opened his mouth and closed his eyes as his mother spoonfed him. As soon as the medicine reached his tastebuds, Barry stick his tongue out and exclaimed "ew" in disgust. Nora gave him water and he quickly dranked all of it. "Good Boy." She patted his head, fixed his medicines and left his bedroom.

Barry laid on his bed and joylessly watched the kids playing outside as he slowly fall asleep.


🎵Put a little love in your heart,

and the world will be a better place,

Will be a better place🎵

Barry heard this melodic song. As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw Caitlin and Cisco's face close to his.

"You think this will work ?" Caitlin asked Cisco with hesitation and looked at him.

"It is his favorite song." Cisco chewed on his lollipop.

"How could you possibly know that ?"

"I checked his science book's page and saw it written in there"

Barry sat right away and asked them "What are you guys doing in here ?"

"Woah dude relax." Cisco calmed his friend.

"You're absent yesterday and Teacher Wells told us that you have a chicken pox. So Cisco and I decided to check you right after school." Caitlin explained.

Barry immediately covered himself with a blanket. "You guys should leave now. You might also get chicken pox"

"I don't have anything to worry. I already got mine when I was 3. And they say that you can only get a chicken pox once." Cisco calmly said making Barry popped his head a little.

"And you Caitlin ?" Barry asked her.

"Well..." she pouted "I haven't had a chicken pox."

Barry covered himself again and told them "Go away!"

Caitlin removed the blanket from his face "Barry, I wouldn't mind. It is better if I have it right now rather than having it on my teenage or adults years."

"Caitlin makes a point." Cisco nodded "Anyway, we just want to remind you about on what we did in school while you were gone" Cisco pulled out a notebook in his bag and began to enumerate all of their homeworks.


"Mrs. Allen makes the best cookies !" Cisco chewed on a chocolate chip cookie. "Caitlin, you want some ?" He offered one to Caitlin.

"No. I'm fine" Caitlin declined

"Caitlin, is something wrong ?" Barry asked her.

"No nothing." Caitlin smiled a little.

"What it day it is ?" Barry asked the both of them.

"Uhm… is there something that we should celebrate ?" Cisco raised an eyebrow trying to remember something.

Caitlin rolled her eyes. "It's tuesday."

"Oh thank you." Barry smiled at her while she just blow her bangs as she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Please excuse me for a while." Caitlin stood up and left their table.

Cisco nudged Barry hard when Caitlin teached the cafeteria.

"OWWW !" Barry hold his arms in pain.

"Dude! You're getting us caught ! She will suspect something." Cisco pinched him.

"Owww ! Please stop first !" Barry moved a little away from Cisco. "Relax. I'm just making sure she knows what day it is !"

"No one forgets their own birthday Barry!" Cisco clenched his fist, trying to control his irritation on Barry.

"What if she feels bad because she thinks we forgot her birthday ? Everyone in our classroom already greeted her except us! Her very best friends !" Barry reasoned out.

"We may be the last ones who will greet her but we have the best greeting." Cisco rubbed his hands together and trying to contain his excitement. "So you better keep your mouth shut if you still want to be a part of the bigger surprise !"

"Okay okay. I'll keep my mouth shut." Barry zipped his mouth.
