The Mosby Hypothesis
“Back off! Not that again!”
“No arguments here! I prefer you undressed, rather than sundressed! It may embarrass Marshal and Lily though, let alone Ted!”
“Barney!!! It’s almost winter!”
“So? You are a CANADIAN?”
“Everybody will think I’m nuts!”
“I’ll do some magic and everybody will see you in your white parka! Kinda like a polar bear! Ouch! َA superawesomatic sexy one!” Sherbatsky, Pleeeaaase!!” He pulled off one of his best poppy-dog eyed faces.
Robin couldn’t help smiling “Damn you, Stinson”. Then she skillfully faked a helpless look which made Barney grin triumphantly.
“On second thoughts, what if you don’t get dressed? Today’s the 16th after all” he whispered in her ear. She felt his lips on her neck and felt a little dizzy “Love to, but Lily would literally slaughter us if we missed this party too”, she took a last look at the mirror and headed towards the door.
“I promise three games in a row, Center ice!” Barney asked, opening the door.
“You still owe me two…
“Surprise!!!!” shouted Lily, Marshal, Ted and “the new Miss serendipity” as Barney later referred to her.
“Surprise?”
“I’m innocent Sherbatsky. Lily wanted to throw us” he air quoted sarcastically “an anniversary party or whatever.”
“Oh, my God. You told them?”
Lily loosened the hug and said “told us what? Isn’t it the anniversary of your second first official date, aka the ‘you-stopped-being-stupid-brats’ day? ”
“Let me out of the effeminizing hug, Lil.”
Robin caught Barney’s eyes “First date!! Right!!”
Lily looked dubiously at Barney who was grinning from ear to ear and roared “You son of bitch! So this is ‘the first time you really connected’”?
“In fact, I remember an immense amount of connection. We started…”
“Ewwww! No details, thanks.”
“I demand the highest of fives!” Barney said absentmindedly, looking proudly at Robin who was trying to untie herself from a tight Marshal hug. Lily clenched her teeth “If I weren’t the slap bet commissioner…”
Barney watched Robin freeing herself, asking Ted to give Marshal some Kleenex to wipe his eyes, rolling her eyes at Ted who explained that Kleenex was the brand and she meant tissue and finally coming to him.
“Lily will never forgive you!”
He mischievously grinned “Worth it. How about an anniversary of our own? a game of laser tag or ….” He arched his eyebrow “do you prefer battleship?”
“Hardcore battleship” she smiled seductively “if you tell me why I had to wear this?”
“Glad you asked! A bro is permitted to marry a hot awesome Canadian only if she consents to sundress up even in fall!
“I thought bros were against marriage!”
“The revised second edition bro-code adds an addendum on marriage!”
“Idiot!”
Looking into her smiling eyes, he thought “plus the moment you stepped in the bar wearing that dress I knew you were the one. But Barney Stinson never confirms a lame Mosby theory”.
“No arguments here! I prefer you undressed, rather than sundressed! It may embarrass Marshal and Lily though, let alone Ted!”
