Disclaimer: How I Met Your Mother does NOT belong to me. Ella does, though. :D
a/n: so this story will be different than the one of ffnet. I'm going to be taking that down, because i didnt like where i was going with it. This story, on LiveJournal, is going to be purely happiness. And will stick to almost every piece of canon info. :D

Ted doesn't remember her when he sees her for the second time.
It's probably because he'd been so embarassed about his first day teaching at Columbia (really, what had made him say 'T-Dawg' in the first place?), that he'd tried incredibly hard to purge any and all memories of his first day teaching at Columbia.
That and the fact that he was late to meet Barney at the Hollister flagship store in SoHo because, wonder of all wonders, Barney was buying a gift for a teenage girl.
Or maybe Katie wasn't really a teenager exactly, but she was young. And however old she was, she wore clothes from Hollister. According to Barney, what better place to buy clothes than from a flagship? The biggest and most important store of them all.
Which was why, on this cold December morning, Ted found himself stopping at Starbucks to pick up a caramel macchiato, then make his way over to the Emack and Bolio's a couple blocks over. His final stop would be the Hollister store, and then because they were Ted and Barney and they (read: Barney) needed to prove their manliness, they would go to McLaren's and get themselves drunk.
He still maintained that they were not alcoholics.
Anyways, Ted still had a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that Robin and Barney were sending a gift together to Robin's family.
For Robin and Barney, it was practically like marriage; they were admitting to the world that they were a single entity.
Of course, Barney (being Barney) had said he was "too awesome" to need Robin's help to shop for a teenage girl (or however old she was), and that he would take care of it.
And then, Barney (being Barney) had realized that he had no idea whatsoever to get his girlfr- Robin's little sister, and had called Ted to come help him. He had also said that he needed an ice cream, and if Ted was coming by way of Houston, then please stop by Emack and Bolio's and pick up some of "The Original" Oreo Cookie.
Because Barney would never eat a knockoff. Even if it was ice cream.
Also, who was he kidding. Barney never said please. It was more along the lines of "I'm running low on awesomeness so I'm gonna need you to stop by Emack and Bolio's for some of "The Original" Oreo Cookie. Because I don't eat knockoffs and Emack and Bolio's is legen-waitforit-dairy. With an I 'cause it's an ice cream store and it has dairy."
Ted had removed the phone from his ear to stare at it as if it were sentient onion, when Barney had yelled, "Oh and Ted, SUIT UP!"
Ted, naturally, hadn't suited up.
So maybe that was why Ted wasn't concentrating on the fact that the green-eyed brunette in front of him was eyeing him curiously.
"That's probably not the best idea," she said.
Ted, so immersed in his own thoughts (ie, what the hell to get a twenty-year-old Mini-Robin for her birthday?) had to shake his head. "I..what?"
"That," she pointed to the Starbucks cup in his hand, smiling slightly. "Highly doubt it's a good idea."
"Uh, do you have something against Starbucks?" he asked blankly.
"No, I drink it every day actually. I'm a big fan of caramel macchiatos," she told him as if she were divulging a secret.
He raised his glass. "Amen."
She laughed. "But uh, Emack and Bolio's is probably not the place to be toting a Starbucks cup. Just food for thought, T-Dawg."
Then, since she was on the way out and he on the way in, she brushed past him and didn't look back.
T-Dawg? he thought.
T-Dawg.
T-Dawg...
His eyes widened in realization. The first pretty girl he'd seen with in a long time (was she flirting with him?), and he'd already made a fool out of himself.
"Crap."
He trashed the Starbucks cup and walked inside
