I have been thinking about writing this story for a while now and I came up with a great way to use HIMYM and Doogie Howser in a fic and here's what I came up with.

When one person has your heart another person can look like the same person to you. The year was 2012, Robin had just found out that Barney the man she loves is engaged to another woman and this day felt like her world was finally crushing her underneath a big bolder. So, after talking to Barney and wanting to actually run off with him something told her not to do that cause it didn't work when he dumped Nora for her and then she chose to be with another man over Barney. Yes, her career was taking off and she had that to fall back on but there was and still is something missing from her life. Barney Stinson. It was like one minute she was so happy about Marshall & Lily's new family and taking pictures of their new born son was a great distraction but that wasn't enough. Then, the next minute her world turned from happy to like someone shot her in the heart. Yes, Robin Scherbatsky never felt worse about what she did back in November to Barney and she still regrets picking Kevin over him every minute of every day and tried desperately to forget Barney but she couldn't and that's the real reason why she gave excuse after excuse when turning down Kevin's proposal.

After her conversation with Barney about his engagement to another woman she took the next day off from work. Well, okay no she didn't actually take that day off she was still curing a massive hangover from the night before. That morning felt like the worst nightmare ever, with her massive headache and the sun light beaming through the window that morning she wished that everything was different. She wished that she had the guts to run off with Barney when he asked (even if it was a joke) she did want to run off with him to where ever but she didn't. The rest of that day well night felt like a huge blur so when her friends started calling her trying to find out where she was followed by her boss and her co-workers she didn't pick up the phone or answer her texts because she didn't want to be bothered.

.

So, trying to get up after a good hour of trying to get out of bed. Robin took a look at her phones, first her cell phone and then her house phone to check the messages people left her before when she didn't answer the phone.

Hey Robin it's Lily I want to talk to you – Lily

Robin, I just heard about Barney and Quinn's engagement. Are you okay? - Ted

Robin where are you? You didn't show up from work and you didn't call in sick – your boss Steven

There was 20 calls and text messages from her friends and co-workers that morning. Robin, didn't want to call them back because she didn't want to talk to anyone on this morning. That day, Robin decided that she couldn't be around her friends especially Barney so she decided to take a vacation. This vacation cleared her head and her ongoing thoughts about Barney and how her life had become even more of a mess than before if that's possible. She did blame herself for everything she did and didn't want to do so on this trip to The Bahamas she met a guy who was their on the island helping out sick patients for Doctors Without Borders. He looked a lot like Barney, he even liked the same things like food and alcohol and he had blonde hair and blue eyes. It was uncanny how much this guy resembles her Barney. So, Robin and her New Barney spent the entire time getting to know each other and New Barney told her how he was the first kid doctor and it fascinated Robin so much that she wanted to know more about him and so she asked him to go back to New York with her as her new boyfriend.

"I left because of Barney and Quinn engagement." Robin told Ted the first day back from The Bahamas.

"Oh, wow...You are in love with Barney aren't you?" Ted asked wondering why Robin is being so secretive about her feelings for Barney.

"The news about Barney's engagement hit me harder than I though. So, that day I found out I thought I was okay with it but I really wasn't. That night I left Marshall and Lily's and went drinking to 2 in the morning, I was at a bar that I go to when I don't want you guys to find me. So, I got drunk and the next morning decided to leave on my trip to clear my head. That's when I met this Doogie actually he goes but Doug now." Robin was glad to talk to Ted again normally as two great friends and it felt like old time where she can truly open up and be honest with him about her feelings.

"So, since you're back are you going to be okay with Barney being engaged to Quinn? Because I don't want you to completely lose it again over that." Ted was glad that Robin talked to him again and even though he knew that Robin still loves Barney he decided not to push that issue any further.

So, Robin dated Doogie for a while without knowing that her friends saw something that Robin clearly didn't see in her new boyfriend.
