Gasp!! How can Ted's kids not like Star Wars?! He's planning on naming them Luke and Leia... ;)

This was really cute! I especially liked the way you wrote Barney in the scene at the bar. Also, your use of Regis was awesometeen... I could hear his voice in my head when I was reading.

Thanks so much for this great response to my prompt! =)

Hahaha, somehow I think his wife put her foot down and didn't let him name them that. (but I guess we'll see in season 15 *fingers crossed*) ;)

I'm so glad you liked my interpretation of your prompt!! I figured since Barney and Regis seem to be so tight, it just made sense for Regis to come back and host the show for his episode. Haha! (Except now I keep hearing the guy from Slumdog saying, "who wants to be a MILLonair!?" Heehee.)

That was BRILLIANT! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!

>"We both know that if I gave you a wad of cash you'd be down at the mall faster than a dung beetle on fresh zebra crap."

> Ted watched as they seemed to be in their own world, completely oblivious to Lily and Marshall arguing over the logistics of having a giant chocolate fountain that one could bathe in.

Did I mention LOVE? ;)

Oh and bringing in Regis = awesome :)

>"Oh yeah, she's a firecracker! I remember her from that burger joint,"
Sweeeet! ;)

ICON LOVE!!

this is amazing. I really like the whole idea and it could totally happen on the show. Which is why I love HIMYM.

Also sequel. We need a party that is more awesome than Ted's three day party to get Robin on "the roof". Which I am sure Barney would be able to do.

[neonbliss]

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I can see this happening on the show, because Barney is just so outrageous. He got on the Price is Right! Haha...

Yeah... I need to gather some more ideas for a sequel. :)

[admiral_sab]

awww you're icon! I just watched the extended scene this morning. :) I got all teary again.

I hope my Pilots get reunited in the end. As much as I loved the Kara/Sam stuff, it's Pilots all the way. :)
