When Barry

Met Sara

Part 2

Disclaimer: Thought I'd go ahead and add a second part to this since it looked like folks really enjoyed the first part!

Summary: Iris West is NOT a fan of Barry's new nickname and has a word about it with two of Starling's residents.

"Can you guys PLEASE stop calling my best friend 'Al'!? Its not his name!" Requested one Iris West in annoyance to two fellow teenagers in the forms of Oliver 'Ollie' Queen and Thomas 'Tommy' Merlyn.

Two of the biggest troublemakers in Starling City, Washington much to the chagrine of their parents, Quentin Lance, and lately, Joe West, after the Wests moved there some months ago. One could include Iris along with the adults as she wasn't exactly a fan of the two's for all the shenanigans they kept pulling Barry into. Even if he claimed he willingly got involved but she didn't believe it! She also wasn't too enthused where the likes of McKenna Hall and Sara Lance were concerned. Laurel Lance on the other hand, she was pretty cool with as she seemed to be the calmer and more responsible of the teenagers that Barry had found himself involved with. Iris even though Laurel and Barry could be a thing together thanks to how studious and smart they were. And the less he was around Sara, the better in her view!

The two boys looked at one another and then at Iris with matching looks of confusion on their faces. "Whatcha mean, Goldi Bean?" Tommy asked of her.

Causing her to narrow her eyes at him. "You know what I mean!"

"Uhh, we goldi don't know what you goldi mean." Oliver told her in return.

"The whole calling Barry 'Al' thing! Its not his name!"

"Goldi what!?" Tommy asked in shock as he looked at his best friend in shock. Or supposed shock anyhow!

Something Oliver himself was showing as well much to Iris' annoyance! "Dude, did you goldi know that Al's name isn't Goldi Al?" Oliver asked him in 'shock'.

"I goldi didn't! I mean… This is goldi terrible! I mean… We've been goldi calling him the wrong goldi name all this time!?"

"Absolutely terrible." Agreed the Queen Scion in mock regret.

Iris let out a huff as she crossed her arms. "Quit it! You two know full well he's not named 'Al'! And stop with the goldi thing, damnit!"

"What goldi thing, Goldi Iris?" Oliver asked in supposed confusion.

"If his name isn't Al, then what goldi is it?" Wondered Tommy fake curiously.

"BARRY! OKAY!? BARTHOLOMEW HENRY ALLEN! BUT BARRY OR EVEN BEAR FOR SHORT! OKAY!?" Iris screamed out and not caring if she was getting attention in that moment!

Both boys made a show of wincing and clearing out their ears. "Whoa, don't hafta goldi yell, Goldi Iris." Muttered Tommy.

"Goldi yeah!"

Oliver looked 'thoughtful' after that. "But… But are you goldi sure his name's not 'Al'? Cause Goldi Sara's awfully goldi convinced it is."

Even if the young Queen Scion was kind of jealous of the smarter kid and the closeness he had developed with Laurel since moving here! "Yes, I'm sure!"

"How goldi sure are you?" Asked Tommy next.

"I'm sure as I'm gonna be. Especially given we live together!" As honestly, how hard could that be to believe!?

The two boys 'pondered' on this for a moment before looking to one another and then back at her before going… "Nah!"

Oliver would continue first after. "We're not goldi convinced of this."

"Yeah, its possible you've been goldi lied too all this goldi time, Goldi Iris."

Iris stared at them with annoyance radiating off her. "Ooh! You two are IMPOSSIBLE!" She screamed out seconds later before storming off.

Chuckling appreciatively at their victory, the two boys fist bumped each other. "And that's a goldi win for us, Tommy."

"You're darn goldi right it is."

Author's Notes: Heh, poor Iris. I got the whole goldi thing from a couple of scenes on an episode of a show called 'Letterkenny'.
