The Wedding Bride 2: Revenge of the Ex
Disclaimer, I do not own How I Met Your Mother...did you think I did?
Chapter 1: Crazy
2030
"Kids, I've told you the story of the Wedding Bride, the movie my ex-fiance's ex boyfriend, Tony, wrote about what happened when Stella left me at the altar for him, but leaving out the part that he was the jerk and I, the hero. Well, I tried to let it go, but it got harder when a rumor of Tony working on a sequel started to swarm the Internet."

"Well, it's official Tony's working on a sequel to that Wedding Bride story that almost destroyed my life." I said showing my phone with Internet access to Lily, Marshall and Barney, at Mclarens bar.
Marshall's eyes lit up;
"He's writing a sequel? Oh my god this is so exciting! It's just so...terrible. I can't believe he is doing this to you."
"Aw, sweetie I'm sorry." said Lily.
"Don't be! This time I'm going to California, and I'm going to confront Tony and give him a peace of my mind!". I said determinedly.
Barney scoffed, "What? And get hit by a ten year old with numchucks?"
"It never happened like that..."
"It totally did!"
"Okay," said Lily deciding to interrup them. "Ted, you've done a lot of crazy things in the past, ranging from stealing a blue french horn from a restaurant to asking a girl to marry you in an arcade, but this pretty much tops the list."
Marshall who had always been prone to graphs and pie charts took this on as an invitation to writing a list.

"So here's the top ten list of crazy things that Ted has done over the years.
10, Waits outside every Halloween for some girl called the Slutty Pumpkin.
9, Stole a blue french horn from a restaurant.
8, Returned to that restaurant.
7, Died his hair blond.
6, Got in a fight with a goat.
5, Has red cow boy boots and thinks he looks good in them.
4, Told a girl he loves her on the first date.
3, Got a butterfly tramp stamp.
2, Became friends with Barney.
1, Decides to go to California to confront the guy his ex-fiance left him for."
"I can't believe you actually wrote a list" I said rolling my eyes.
"Yeah! Becoming best friends with me..."
"Not my best friend" I said.
"Here" said Marshall.
"...was the best life decision he ever made and...ooh there's a hot blond near the counter having her third shot." And with that Barney left to go talk up the blonde.
"Ted, for the last time this is crazy and you'll just get hurt.." Began Lily.
"You guys can come with me and turn it into a holiday"
Once again Lily and Marshall had one of there telepathic conversations.
Lily, a holiday to California!
Marshall we're trying to talk Ted out of this because it's crazy, it made the top of the list.
But...
I know we haven't been on a holiday for what seems like years, but it's what's best, and no matter how tempting it is.
But we can see the sets to all the cool movies...and if you think about it Ted will still go even if we don't.
I still don't know.
"Did I mention I'll pay for for everything?" I said.
Lily and Marshall stared at each other for a moment.
He'll pay for it Lily
Okay let's go and by sun block.
But how will we make it seem we're not going just because it's free?
Follow my lead.
"Well if it means so much to you we'll go." Lily said.
"Great"
Barney then came back to the table with a slap mark on his face.
Lily smiled, "What, did it not go so well, Barney?"
"Same girl I hit on yesterday" Barney said shrugging.
"Hey Barney wanna come to California with us? I'll pay."
Kids, I know what your thinking, I was about to pay for four (five when I ask Robin) people to go to California, for something that was, well, crazy. But when you spend enough time with Barney, he starts to rub off on you.
"Okay, cool, as long as you be my wing man." Barney said cheerfully.
"Fine, come on, let's go see if Robin can come." I said.
