Nodding her head, Caitlin took in every word before turning on her heels and heading back towards the house.

Barry huffed and ran after her, "Wait. Caitlin."

Caitlin kept walking, "Not now. We can talk about this later. I have enough to think about with Ronnie..Stein"

The two went inside and headed to the kitchen, the two siblings nowhere in sight.

Barry leaned against the counter, his head settled on his hand, thoughts running through his mind. Thinking of different ideas on what to tell Natalie to get her to S.T.A.R. Labs.

A clearing of a throat pulled him out and he cocked his head to see Caitlin staring at him, "Aren't you supposed to be ordering pizza?"

"What? Oh..yeah," Barry said sheepishly as he headed into another room to make the call.

"Hey Cait. My mom says hi and to tell you that she loves and misses you," Nat said as she walked by Caitlin and retrieved a glass from the cabinet.

"Aww that's sweet of her," Caitlin replied, checking her phone. "Cisco said he would be here in 10-20 minutes."

"Funny, pizza guy just said the same thing," Barry said as he walked in, and as always, a smile on his face.

Nat smiled at Barry before she filled up her glass with water, "Well..I have no idea what to do now. I've never really hosted a dinner before."

"Be entertaining, sis," Chris said as he walked down the stairs and headed straight for the living room.

Natalie furrowed her eyebrows and mumbled, "I'm pretty sure what's entertaining to a 15 year old is different to a people in their 20s."

"I don't think what I think is fun would interest him. Or anyone," Caitlin said as she tilted her head to the side.

Barry moved closer to Natalie and nudged her with his elbow, "Just wait till Cisco gets here. He'll keep the kid busy."

Natalie cracked a smile, "God I hope so. Why are we all just staying in here?"

"Because we have no idea how to take care of a teenager," Caitlin quipped.

Natalie walked to the living room and motioned for the rest to follow, the three discovering Chris angrily pressing the buttons on the remote.

"You don't have any video games and your movies are boring. And there's nothing on tv," he muttered as he continued to scroll through the channels.

Natalie leaned forward and plucked the remote from his hands and turned the tv off, "Okay first of all, I don't have video games because I don't play them. Second of all I have great movies."

"All you have are sappy ones like Letters to Juliet, Step Up, and Maid in Manhattan," Chris huffed as he sunk back on the couch seat.

"Those are great movies," Natalie retorted. "And I have the Maze Runner, the two newest X-Men movies, the Amazing Spider-Man movies, and the Blind Side. You would like those. You know, superheroes, football, mazes."

"I like all of those," Barry added.

Chris stared up at him with a blank expression, "So?"

Barry smile dropped and he tilted his head from side to side, "Well I..uh.."

Natalie turned her head back to her brother, "Also you need to be unplugged. You came here to visit to spend time with me so you are going to do that. No coming over here just to spend your time staring at a screen. Got it?"

"Fine, but you don't have to be so harsh," Chris replied as he shifted his position.

Natalie furrowed he eyebrows and spoke hesitantly, "I'm being..authoritative.
