Amelia's POV (Age: 26)

"You're late Allen!" The captain reminded.

"Yes, I know, I'm so sorry, it won't happen again." Barry said quickly.

"Sure…" the captain replied unconvinced.

"I can't believe that you're late again Barry" I said as he walked on to the crime scene (FINALLY).

"I know, but I was waiting in line for your birthday gift, speaking of...HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!"

"Thank you but you shouldn't have risked being late and getting yelled at by Captain Singh just to get me a birthday gift." I replied flattered.

"I know but I wanted to, you're one of my best friends"

Yeah, one of. More like second best, right after Iris.

"Yeah, so should we go back to the lab to analyze these samples?" I asked

"Sure, let's go."

It was just a little less than an hour later when we had finished analyzing the samples. I went to give them to Detective West and when I got back Barry had the cutest grin on his face.

"What's got you so happy?" I questioned.

"Well I couldn't wait till the party tonight to give you you're gift so here." He told me as he handed me a green envelope.

I opened it with great interest and my eyes widened with excitement once I saw what it was. TICKETS TO GO SEE WICKED. I had been dying to see the musical since I was 10 and had read the book. It was my favourite book until I lent it to Barry who let Iris read it and long story short my book ended up completely destroyed. Just another reason for me to hate her.

"OMG BARRY, THIS IS THE BEST GIFT EVER!" I cheered.

"I'm glad you like it, once I saw that they were going to have a show in Central City I knew I had to get you tickets. I know how much you loved the book, you read it at least once a week." He said while smirking proudly at his gift choice.

"Only one question though, why are there three tickets." I asked curiously.

"Well one for you, one for me and one for Iris."

"Oh."

He invited Iris, even on my birthday I come second best.

"Thank you so much Barry, I can't wait to go" I said, my excitement faltering after learning that Iris would be joining us.

_(Time Skip to the party)._

A chorus of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" erupted from my living room when I walked in. All of my friends and family were here, which got my mind off of Barry and cheered me up a bit.

After I greeted everyone I snuck off to see my adorable little niece. Who I don't see very often because my brother and his wife moved to Blüdhaven after getting married. My niece, Rose, was three and she had everyone wrapped around her little finger.

"Hi Rosie, how is my favourite niece doing?" I greeted

"I'm your only niece, Auntie Amy." She giggled and glanced around for my usual partner in crime but confusion came over her face when she couldn't find him. "Where is Bawwy?" She asked still unable to pronounce his name correctly.

"Umm…I'm not sure he was supposed to be here but he is late as usual." Just as I finished explaining Barry's absence he showed up.

"Hey Rose" He said as he picked her up.

Now this is has to be the cutest thing ever. Barry Allen with my sweet little Rose. He was always so kind to her.

I was shaken out of my thoughts when Barry started snapping his fingers.

"Hey you zoned out for a sec, are you ok? After I gave you your gift you started to act a little strange."

"Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine I've just been a bit distracted lately."

"Ok well, the tickets are for next Friday and I was thinking of picking you up at around 7, does that sound good?"

"Uhh yeah, that would be …"

But before I could finish my sentence I was interrupted Rose.

"Are you and Bawwy going on a date, Auntie Amy?"

"NO! Umm… I mean Amy and I are just friends" Barry stuttered before I could reply.

Not going to lie, the way he reacted when Rose thought we were going on a date kinda hurt me. He said it so quickly and he sounded almost offended by the idea. I'm just going to smile like nothing's wrong, pretend like everything is alright, act like it's all perfect even though inside it really hurts.

Authors Note: So if you can't tell Amy is a forensic scientist like Barry and they work together. This story also takes place about a month after Barry woke up from his coma. You may also notice that I have just a slight obsession with Wicked. By the way this is my first fanfic that isn't a one shot so if you guys could review that would mean the world to me!
