Salutations! This is totally silliness on my part. I realized that most of my stories recently have been very serious and a bit dark (for me) so when this one popped into my head, I just had to write it. I realize that some of the characters are out of character, but I just wanted to have a bit of fun. Hope you all enjoy it! -CT

Giggles echoed down the hallway. Covering her mouth, Jesse Wells glanced back at her partner in crime as they raced through the hallways, their prizes clutched tightly in their arms. She couldn't even say whose idea it had been. Maybe they had both thought of it at the same time. Honestly, it didn't matter really. The two of them had a blast doing it to the point that they'd lost all track of time. Barreling into the cortex, they skidded to a stop as they came face-to-face with the two men who had acted as their inspiration.

Joe West had his arms crossed as he eyed his son, Wally. Frowning intently next to Joe, Harrison Wells of Earth 2 glowered at the youngest West before turning his angry gaze upon his mirthful daughter. "Do you two have any idea of the time?" Hissed Harry, his blue eyes narrowed angrily.

"Relax, Daddy," Jesse said, giggling brightly. "We were just at the mall."

"Yeah, it was open late for some special book launch or something," Wally added.

"You were out until past midnight, at the mall?" Disbelief dripped from Joe's voice as he spoke.

"Yeah. Go ahead, check online. They've been promoting this late night outing thing for like a week now," Wally added. As he spoke, Cisco, Barry, and Caitlin entered the cortex.

"Oh, you found them," Barry observed as he took in the two angry fathers and the innocent looking teens. "Where were you guys?"

"At the mall," Jesse replied. "We decided that since we both have overprotective dads, we'd make their jobs easier." Grinning widely, she put her box down on the table.

"I am not overprotective!" Harry tried to look hurt, but at the nods from Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin, he knew his daughter was right. "Okay, maybe I am a little, but for good reason! What could you do to make our jobs easier?"

"Well," Wally began, also putting down his box and opening. "We stopped at Build-A-Bear and I made myself a Joey West!" Grinning broadly, he pulled out a stuffed kangaroo dressed as a police officer. "See, he has a birth certificate and everything! Now Joe can even watch over me from the comfort of my own room!" Snickers sounded from the trio of young adults.

"That looks nothing like me!" Joe countered, fighting his own amusement. Frowning, Wally held the stuffed animal up next to his father.

"I don't know," Cisco mused. "It has an inherent Joeness to it." It earned him an angry glower from Joe.

"I helped!" Jesse pipped up. "Plus, I made Bearrison Wells!" A smile plastered across her face as she opened her cardboard home and pulled out a light brown bear with blue eyes dressed in a suit." Barry and Cisco burst out in laughter. Joe tried to be a bit more discreet as he turned away with a hand covering his mouth. "They didn't have any combat boots or sweater vests," Jesse added with a sad frown.

Harry sputtered angrily as he glared into the happy face of the teddy bear his daughter had made. "I thought about going with one with darker fur, but this one was just so soft and snuggly," Jesse explained, hugging her bear. "Oh, plus, look he comes with glasses and I bought him a little gun!" Triumphantly she held up a little toy gun which looked remarkably like Harry's weapon of choice. "I wanted to get him something sciency, but I couldn't find anything appropriate for you." Still, her father just sputtered angrily. Stepping forwards, Caitlin took the little bear in her arms and smiled widely at the angry scientist.

"You know, Dr. Wells," began the female doctor. "You make an adorable bear. Plus, you have the surely personality to fit one." More laughter exploded from the younger adults. Pressing his lips firmly together, Harry reached out and took the stuffed animal, critically accessing it.

"At least I'm not a baby kangaroo," Harry finally declared, much to the amusement of nearly everyone else in the room.

"Hey! I think I make a damn cute baby kangaroo," Joe growled, snatching Bearrison from Harry's hands.

"Hey! Give him back!" Lunging at Joe, Harry stole the bear back and liberated the kangaroo from Wally. "Bearrison can kick Joey's tail any day!" Laughing wildly, Harry dashed around the room as Joe gave chase, the stuffed animals held high in the air triumphantly. After a moment of running around the room, Harry led the chase out into the hall and away from the group of young people.

"Uhm, did our dads just run off with our stuffed animals?" Wally asked in confusion.

"I think they did," Jesse agreed. "What do you bet we find them asleep in the breakroom with the animals clutched in their arms?" She started to follow after her father and Wally's.

"At least we aren't facing some crazy meta-human," Cisco piped up as he followed after. "This may be the most amusement I've had in awhile. Bearrison Wells. That's great Jesse. Just great." Their laughter echoed around the cortex and down the hallway, bouncing after shouts and hollers from Joe and Harry. Clearly, being made into stuffed animals hadn't bothered the two men as much as the teens had thought it would.
