Future-Ted: Kids, you know when you want something really hard in your life, you just keep asking for it - no matter how annoying you are. For example, when you were 5 years old, you kept nagging us for hours to buy you ice-cream until we would budge and buy you your ice-cream. Well, back in '09 your uncle Barney and aunt Robin still had that child screaming for ice-cream inside of them...
Barney & Robin: WE WANT ICE-CREAM!!!
Future-Ted: Figuratively.
The five friends were sitting in the appartement of Ted and Robin. Marshall and Ted set by the table - annoyed. Lily was being screamed at for ice-cream on the couch by Robin and Barney - also annoyed.
Barney: We want ice-cream!
Lily: I said „No“!
Barney: Yeah, but I want the ice-cream right now!
Robin: Me too!!!
Lily tried to calm down. In her mind they were just some children from her kindergarden class. All they needed was to know how to respect other people's feelings... especially when they behaved like they were 5 years old children - which they weren't!
Lily: Listen, you two are old enough to get your own ice-cream. Why don't you just go over there to the fridge and get it yourself?
Both of them took a moment to think about it... The moment of silence was quickly followed by...
Barney: I want ice-cream! Strawberry jam ice-cream!
Robin: Yeah! And I want peanut butter ice-cream.
Barney: There's no such thing as peanut butter ice-cream!
Robin: Of course there is!
Barney: No, there isn't!
Robin: Yes, I'm telling you!
Barney: Yeah, right... AM I'M TELLING YOU!!! There is no peanut butter ice-cream. Such as there is no ice-cream with bubblegum-flavor.
Both of them kept telling each other that their point of view was totally right. Of course, Lily sitting right in the middle of these two arguing, started to keep losing her mind.
Ted and Marshall have been watching this little scenario for a while now.
Ted: How much longer is this going to take?
Marshall: Don't know, buddy. But unless they get what they want, possibly hours!
Ted: Oh my. They're in a loop! Lily should just get it over with... There is no other way.
Marshall: I guess not.
Ted: We've gotta find us a loophole outta here....
Right then Lily stood up.
Lily: I WILL NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
Barney: What is it, Lily?
Lily: Don't you remember?
Barney: What?
Lily: The reason why I haven't been here for 4 weeks!
Barney: Yeah, you said you created a new sort of ice-cream and I want something!
Robin: Yeah, me too!
Lily: No. I didn't want to see you, Barney!
Barney: Whaaaat? Why?
Lily: Oh c'mon! Do you really have such a short-term memory?
Barney just sat there, didn't know what to expect.
Lily: „Peanut Butter“, remember?
Barney: What about Peanut Butter - (to Robin, mocking) except that there is no Peanut Butter ice-cream!
Robin: There sure is!
Barney: There sure is not!!!
Lily: ENOUGH WITH THE ICE-CREAM! I mean your „joke“ with the difference between Peanut Butter and jam.
Barney thought a little moment and then started to giggle. Ted & Marshall giggled right along.
Robin looked quite confused into the round.
Robin: What joke?
Ted & Marshall: Oh no!
Ted: Barney!
Marshall: Don't get started!
Barney looked at his two bros with his usual confidence.
Barney: What? You think Robin can't take it? Sure she can!
Lily: Well, I'm still offended by that joke. And I'm only here to show you my ice-cream invention-
Robin: Which you haven't shown us for about 30 minutes right now...
Lily: Yeah, but that's not the point. The point is: Actually I still wouldn't be here because of this joke. This joke is gross! And not just a little gross, but ubergross!
Barney: Naaah! It's a funny joke.
Robin: Tell me the joke!
Marshall: No, Barney! Don't tell her!
Ted: She won't take it!
Barney: She'll appreciate it. Believe me. I know my Scherbatsky.
Robin: Yeah, tell your Scherbatsky your dirtly little joke. (winking at Barney)
Lily: Fine. Go ahead. But don't be surprised if she doesn't want to see you for 4 weeks either.
With these words you could actually see how a strange grimace started to build on Barney's face. Like his world started to shatter into pieces. 4 weeks without Robin? That's hell! But Barney being Barney played it down, so nobody would notice. „Nobody“ - of course - only being Robin, since everybody else in the room knew about his thing for her.
Barney: Naaaaaaah! She won't! … You won't, won't you?
Robin: Depends on the joke.
Future Ted: You could actually see the fight within Barney right then. Should he or shouldn't he? He decided to do the only thing which was expected from him.
Barney: Then you won't hear it.
Marshall: Agreed.
Ted: Agreed.
Lily: AND agreed.
Robin just sat there: And I don't get a say in this?
Barney: No, not unless you promise to see me anyway, even if you're offended by the joke such as Lily here.
This time Robin took her time to build a grimace... The prospect of not seeing Barney, just because of a joke he made? Well, he did had a thing for bad and inappropriate jokes. But wasn't that exactly his thing?! Inappropriate Barney. One of the Barney's who could always make her feel her own needs. She couldn't live without this side of Barney, so therefore...
Robin: I promise! I will see you, even if I don't want to see you.
Barney: All right then. Ready?
Robin: Yeah, spill it.
Barney: What's the difference between Peanut Butter and jam?
Robin: I don't know. Tell me!
Barney came close to Robin and whispered the joke into her ear. Robin sat there, mere disbelief in her face starting to grow. As Barney was done telling her this hilarious joke, he started to giggle again.
Robin: Woaw... This joke IS offensive!
Barney: Naahh! It's awesome, right?
Robin: NO! It's... (She still sat there. Now she finally understood why Lily didn't want to see Barney for this long...) It's... Er.... You know what? I think I might take it back... the promise.
Barney stopped giggling right away.
Barney: WHAAAAHAAT? NO!!!! You can't!
Lily: I told you!
Barney: But she promised... You promised!
Ted: You did, too!
Marshall: Yeah, that's not fair!
Robin: You know what isn't fair? To tell such a joke to someone who wants to eat peanut butter ice-cream. Well, I'm not hungry anymore. Great job, Barney!
She gathered together her stuff about to leave.
Future Ted: Kids, so the thing with the annoying screaming part - you remember? Well, your uncle Barney had this little child screaming for what he wanted inside him more than anyone else of us. So he asked for what he wanted - right away!
Barney: YOU CAN'T GO!
Robin: I am going.
Barney: But- ... NO!!! You promised!
Robin: Well, you should've thought better of it before...
Barney: But... But...
Robin turned around annoyed on the edge of the door: What?
Barney: No...!!!! Don't go...
Robin turned again, the doorknob in her hand ready to leave: Well, if you don't have anything else to say...
Barney: But I love you, Scherbatsky!
Right then the world stood still. Everyone turned to Barney, unable to believe what just happened. Barney realised what he just did and took the better way of it - he ran out of the door - right past Robin who still looked with mere disbelief in her face.
The rest still just sat there and looked at Robin. The silence which built up in that room was almost touchable.
The first one to break it was Lily.
Lily: So? Who wants ice-cream?
Marshall: I want something, honey. Maybe something chocolate flavored, pleased?
Lily: Ok. Coming right up!
Lily made her way for the ice-cream, while Robin still stood there.
Robin: He... what?
Ted: C'mon, Robin. You really didn't think this might occur sometime? It happened with us and you weren't so shocked...
Robin shoot him a sharp annoyed look almost saying „Really?“
2005 Ted: I think I'm in love with you.
2005 Robin: What?
Ted: Yeah, OK - I take that back!
Robin: Us was something completely different! I mean, you're you. And Barney... Well, he's Barney! That doesn't make sense, right?
Lily came back with the ice-cream: Calm down, Robin. Here, have some peanut butter ice-cream, sit down and relax.
Robin: No... I'm not hungry anymore... I... I... I have to think about this!
Future Ted: And with that she left the apartment and we didn't see her for 4 weeks either.
