OMG I just started watching Psych last month and it just hit me what HIMYM and Psych have in common. Pineapple. Shawn is obsessed with the fruit and coincidentally the writers put a pineapple in every single episode made.

This is how I think Ted got that pineapple. Crossover with Psych so I hope you least know that show too. Oh and I know HIMYM started a year before Psych so Shawn met Ted right before he joined SBPD as a fake psychic.

"Hey!"

Ted Mosby turned at the male voice. "It is you!" The man cried and looked a little angry and put out.

"Do I know you?" Ted asked and held onto his wife a little tighter. "I'm not going to hurt you man, not if you buy me a new pineapple and then a second one so it has a friend" the man replied.

"Why would I buy you two pineapples?" Ted asked feeling uneasy. He and Sarah were celebrating their anniversary and picked Santa Barbara where Shawn Spencer lived.

"Because you stole a pineapple from me dude!" Shawn cries. "When? I don't even remember ever visiting this place before" Ted asks.

"It was nine years ago dude and I was living in New York at the time in an apartment near a bar called MaClarans. I just got out of the cab with a pineapple when you came out of the bar and you took my pineapple from me and ran off with it like a lunatic" Shawn told him.

"Oh wow, I'm so sorry man I don't remember anything from that night" Ted told him and Shawn smiled.

"It's cool, its in the past and now you can buy me a pineapple to replace the one I lost and another one to make up for taking the first one" Shawn told him.

"Sounds good to me, my name is Ted Mosby and this is my wife Sarah" Ted replied and held out his hand.

"Shawn Spencer, its nice to meet my pineapple thief" he said and Ted gave a small laugh.

Shawn took Ted to a store and got his two pineapples. "Thanks for finally clearing up that mystery for me Shawn" Ted told him when they left.

"No problem Ted, you moving out here or just visiting?" Shawn replied.

"Visiting for the weekend, its our one year anniversary" Ted answered.

"Congratulations, I'll leave you two to enjoy then"

"Actually we never been to here before, could you show us around now that you have your pineapple back?" Sarah piped up finally.

"Be glad to" Shawn agreed and he showed them the town. When the Mosby's returned a few days later they told the gang who had a chuckle about Ted's silly drunk night.
