《Changing the Future》7 - Movie Night
Advertisement
Barry and Dawn want to connect more so they have decided to have a movie night. Caitlin let them watch at her apartment because she felt bad for Dawn. Barry came over with Big Belly Burger for Catlin, Dawn, and himself. Barry knocked on the door and saw Caitlin "Hey" he said
"Hey, come on in," Caitlin said with a bright smile "Dawn your father is here"
"That sounds weird," Barry said to Caitlin "You calling me her father"
"You've heard it before, haven't you," Caitlin says
"Yeah, but it just sounds weird when you say it," Barry says and she laughs
"Why is that?" she said
"I don't know it just does," Barry says
"I forgot to say thank you for the dress, I love it but you didn't have to do that" Caitlin said
"I wanted to, plus you obviously wanted it," he said, and then Dawn came in
"Hey, dad," she says and Barry hugs her.
"Hey, how's it going?" Barry said
"Good now that I can have Big Belly Burger," Dawn says taking the take out from Barry's hand and laying it on the table.
"I got 7 cheeseburgers, 3 large chips, 2 large diet cokes, and one medium, and of course Cait's cheese curds," Barry said taking everything down
"Thanks for buying food for me, I'll go in my room and eat," Cait said taking her food
"Hey Woah hey," Dawn and Barry said
"What?" Caitlin said
"You're not eating by yourself," Dawn says
"Yeah, she's right, sit down," Barry says
"But I'll be crashing your father-daughter time," she said
"No, you won't because we want you here," Dawn says
"Come on Cait," Barry says
"Fine," She said and sat down to eat with the speedsters. They talked and laughed for a little while sharing stories.
"So Dad kept on fainting and let me guess you yelled at him" Dawn said
"Did not" Caitlin said
"Did too" Barry said
"Well sorry I was concerned about you health" Caitlin said stuffing another chip into her face.
"You guys should watch your movie, I'll go" Caitlin said taking her rubbish as she was that last one to finish
"Hey, whoah, whoa, hey" Barry and Dawn said
"No this is supposed to be your father daughter movie night." Caitlin said
"Yeah but we like having you around" Dawn said
"But i'll feel bad" Caitlin said
"But there is no reason you should" Barry said
"You know me" Caitlin said
"And you me, so you know I won't give up until you join us" Barry said
"Fine" Caitlin said
"What do you guys want ice-cream or popcorn?" Barry asked
"Both" Caitlin and Dawn said and sped away and came back in a flash.
"Ok so I got 5 popcorn things and 4 buckets of ice-cream, one mint chocolate-chip for Caitlin, Cookie dough for Dawn, another cookie dough and Brownie for me" Barry said putting everything on the table.
"Thanks dad" Dawn said hugging Barry who hugged back.

"Come on let's go watch the movie" Barry said and Dawn went to go sit down with Barry following behind. When they noticed Caitlin wasn't there both the speedsters thought that she was going to ditch them because she felt back. They turned their heads and saw her still in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Barry said
"Getting spoons and warming up the popcorn" Caitlin said
"I forgot about that" Dawn said
"How?" Caitlin said
"I don't know" Dawn said
"I'll help" Barry said and sped in the kitchen and put everything where it needed to be. Barry adjusted her hair to get it out of her face.
"Thanks" She said
"No problem" he said
"So, what are we watching?" Caitlin asked leaning against the counter, Barry next to her.
"I don't know most of the movies in this time. You've tried to show them to me nut there were pretty bad" Dawn said "The only one I liked was singing the rain"
"Did I show you that?" Barry said
"Mum told me that you liked it and both of us watch it sometimes" Dawn said and Barry felt a little bit sad
"I've never seen singing in the rain" Caitlin said
"Ok now we definitely have to watch singing in the rain since you haven't watched it" Barry said and then the popcorn was ready and he went to go check on it and put it in to a bowl.
"Caitlin the tv doesn't work again" Dawn says
"You mean you just don't know how to use it" Caitlin says sitting next to Dawn and taking the remote from her hand and searching for it on the tv. "Found it" Caitlin said and Barry gave everyone their ice cream and popcorn. Barry sat next to Caitlin who was sitting next to Dawn. During the movie Dawn and Barry sang with their beautiful voices. Caitlin couldn't sing because she didn't even know the lyrics but they still pressured her anyway.
"No I will not sing" Caitlin said
"Come on it's part of the fun" Dawn said
"Even if I wanted to, which I don't, I don't even know the lyrics" Caitlin said
"We'll put subtitles on" Dawn said "You guys have subtitles right?" Dawn said
"Yes we have subtitles" Barry said to Dawn and turned to Caitlin "Come on Cait we won't tell anyone"
"Yeah right" Caitlin said
"No serious" Barry said
"Both of you have already forced me to ruin you father daughter night that is all you get" Caitlin said
"Your only ruining it if you don't have fun" Dawn said
"And you don't want to ruin it do you Cait" Barry said and both him and Dawn looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
"I'll dance with you guys" Caitlin says
"Deal" Barry and Dawn says and they shake on it. When the next song came on Dawn and Barry were singing and Dancing along with Caitlin. By the end of the movie they were a little tired and most of the food was gone. Barry didn't want to leave and neither of the girls wanted him too because they were having so much fun.

"Ok that's it" Barry said getting up.
"Can we watch another movie?" Dawn asked
"it depends on what movie it is" Barry challenged and to help her Caitlin whispered something in Dawn's ear.
"Jurassic Park? Are you sure" Dawn whispers back to Caitlin who nods. "Jurassic Park" Dawn says to Barry a bit unsure.
"You set her up to this didn't you" Barry said to Caitlin who was just looking back innocently "Well good choice" he said and Dawn let out a sigh of relief, "I'll be back in a sec" Barry said
"Where are you going?" Caitlin asked
"To get more food we've basically finished everything, what do you guys want" Barry said
"Can I have some lollies and stuff?" Dawn asks
"Ok, Cait what do you want?" Barry asks
"I'm good don't want to get fat" She joked
"Cait you can't get fat overnight, come on what do you want?" Barry said leaning on the back of the couch so he was hovering next to Caitlin.
"I'll just have some Chocolate"Caitlin said
"Let me guess dark chocolate" Barry said
"Yes please" Caitlin said with a smile
"I'll be back in a Flash" Barry said in a wink
"Does he still do that in the future?" Caitlin asks annoyed
"Yep but every time we throw pillows at him" Dawn says
"Doesn't he just dodge them" Caitlin says
"No and we don't know why" Dawn says
"What a weirdo" Caitlin says
"Well he's your...friend" Dawn says weirdly as she was about to say something she couldn't. Dawn was hoping Caitlin didn't ask about it and just thought she was tired. Caitlin noticed but didn't ask on it as she was Barry's daughter. In that moment Barry came back with a bag of food.
"Okay, two bags of lollies for Dawn and some dark chocolate for Caitlin" Barry said throwing the girls their snacks. Barry threw Dawn her snakes and she was a bit sad,
"I only have two packets." Dawn says
"You already had 1 and half buckets of ice-cream and 2 bowls of popcorn, not to mention you had the most big belly burger" Barry said
"Sorry I'm a speedster" Dawn says and starts opening her lollies. Barry then threw the chocolate bar at Caitlin and it hit her face. Dawn covered her mouth so she wouldn't laugh.
"Oh my god, Cait I am so sorry" Barry said rushing over to her to see if she was ok.
"Barry it's fine" Caitlin said picking up her chocolate that landed on the couch.
"Are you sure?" Barry said
"Yeah it's fine, I've been through way worse than this" Caitlin said and Barry nodded
"Well done dad you hit of your best friends in the face with a chocolate bar. When you think Zoom was dangerous" Dawn said laughing at her dad and put another lollie in her mouth.
"Okay that's it" Barry said and Dawn got up and Barry chased her without using speed. Barry caught her and they both fell on a couch which was next to the one they were all sitting on before. Barry started tickling Dawn and she started laughing uncontrollably. Eventually he stopped tickling her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Caitlin smiled at the father daughter duo and felt like she was intruding. Barry and Dawn got up and returned to their original seat and they put on Jurassic Park.
Barry and Caitlin get into the movie but Dawn can't see past the terrible special effects. "Oh my god"
"What?"Caitlin asks
"These are the worst special effects I have seen, how do you watch this?" Dawn said
"We basically grew up with this" Barry said
"Oh my god, I am so sorry you had to grow up with this trash" Dawn said
"Big mistake Dawn, big mistake" Caitlin said
"Jurassic is one of the best movies to exist" Barry said "If you weren't my daughter I would be locking you up in the pipeline"
"He's not lying" Caitlin said "Cisco said it was alright and he spent and hour in the pipeline"
"Uncle Cisco never told me that" Dawn said and laughed
"Never insult Jurassic Park" Barry said and Caitlin laughed
"I think she gets the point" Caitlin said rubbing Barrys arm
"We'll I just want to make sure, wouldn't want there to be another incident or I will lock her in the pipeline." Barry said. They watched the movie with no interruptions because Barry would shush anyone who would try to talk. "Well I guess that's it" Barry said
"One more please" Dawn said
"Yeah come on it's fun" Caitlin said "It's only 11"
Barry laughed and smiled when Caitlin said was only 11 but he gave in anyway. "Fine, one more" Barry said "This time your gonna pick Cait"
"Me? why?" She said
"Because you haven't picked yet" Barry said handing her the remote
"I don't know, um... " Caitlin said looking for options
"At this rate we could be here till 7 in the morning" Dawn mumbled
"Shut up" Caitlin said nudging her
"Sorry, just speaking the truth" Dawn said
"What about knives out?" Caitlin asks
"Yeah, I haven't even seen it" Barry said
"Me either" Dawn said
"Looks like we are all watching something new" Caitlin said
"Wait, before we start does anyone want more snacks" Barry said
"Can I get some more popcorn please" Dawn said
"Ok"
"I won't have anything" Caitlin said
"Are you sure?" Barry asks
"I'm not a speedster I can't each as much as I want" Caitlin said
"Ok jeez" Barry said and sped away with movie popcorn ad a drink for everyone.
"Barry!" Caitlin said while her was giving her her box on popcorn and coca cola
"Worst comes to worse Dawn and I will eat it" Barry said
"How do you always win?" Caitlin said
"I'm just that good" Barry said and Caitlin stuck her tongue out at him and he stuck out his back at her. He then fell on the couch next to Caitlin who was a annoyed that he won. "So we gonna watch the movie?" Barry asked
"Yeah" Dawn said and Caitlin pressed play. During the movie Dawn Stole whatever Caitlin didn't want and was finishing her food when the movie ended. "That was a good..." Dawn started but then saw Caitlin resting on Barry's shoulder who was also asleep and didn't want to wake them. She then brought and extra blanket out from her room and put it over the two. Dawn gave them both a kiss on the head and then went to bed.
