A/N: Marshall was just too adorable tonight. I really want an episode where storyline A is about Marshall and Barney. Um, yeah. Marshall's PoV, Spoilers up to The Front Porch just to be safe. Read and let me know what you think.

1. Even though he's always told Ted Episode IV is his favorite—it's the first, the original, the classic. It was Star Wars before the name meant franchise instead of movie—it's really Return of the Jedi (it's just, Ewoks man. They're Ewoks).

2. Even when Lily was at the height of her wedding planning frenzy (when she crying over shades of pink and swatches of fabric and the exact measurements of paper cranes) he still worried she'd wake up one day and decide she couldn't go through with it.

3. He honestly doesn't understand how Robin can't see. Barney's a pretty good actor, sure—Marshall's seen the guy convince women he's been to the moon or that there's been a rip in the space-time continuum or something equally ridiculous—but he has this tendency to wear his heart on his extremely expensive sleeve too. And maybe it's nothing so obvious as old man makeup, but its still hard to miss the way he looks at her, like everything he could ever want is right in front of him. Marshall just feels sorry for Barney, because Robin looks back without seeing a thing.

4. He's glad to be wearing pants again, don't get him wrong. He likes conference calls and Lily calling him at lunch and just having somewhere to be again. He loves getting a paycheck every fifteen days. It's just, he knows he sold out (again), he knows that, but most days, most days he doesn't even remember that's supposed to bother him.

5. He can't wait to have kids so he can convince Lily they should move to New Jersey.
