DISCLAIMER: I SADLY DON'T OWN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER IF I DID THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS TEDXROBIN.

A.N: This will be my second fan fiction and for people who have read my story The Arrow and The Cat well I'm sad to say the I'm taking a break from that story because I feel like no one is really reading it anymore :( . Now enough with that, I love How I Met Your Mother it is one my favoured shows. But I hated the ending; the show made it feel like the only reason the mother is there was so that Ted has kids. If they were planning on Ted and Robin to get together in the end from the beginning then why didn't they just make Robin the mother? I love the wait and mystery for the mother but I felt like all of that was pointless.

So I thought what if Ted did meet the mother the day of the first episode. This will be a VERY slow TedxOC story but they will get together before the final season of the show. There will be TedxRobin in this story but only for the first two seasons and a little in season 3, but that there will be no TedxRobin. Honestly after they break up for me that should have been the end of their romance for my opinion.

And lastly this story will be mostly be in my OC's P.O.V even though Ted is the one telling the story :S and I will only be doing the scenes that my OC is in.

And if have read all of that than you should reward yourself with a cookie ;)

Prologue

2030

'Kids, I'm going to tell you an incredible story. The story of how I met your mother' A middle aged sitting at his desk says to his children who are in there teens who are sitting on a couch facing their father.

'Are we being punished for something?' the son asks his father as he sits on the left side of the couch.

'No' the father answers his son

'Yeah, is this going to take a while?' The daughter asks her father

'Yes' the father answers. The two children look other, sigh and lean back on the couch realising that this will take a while.

'Twenty-five years ago, before I was dad, I had this whole other life. It was way back in 2005. I was twenty-seven just starting to make it as an architect and living in New York with my friend Marshall, my best friend from college. My life was good and then Uncle Marshall went and screwed the whole thing up.'

2005

Tori's P.O.V

I'm late. I can't believe that forgot that I took on extra jobs at Maclaren's Carl is gonna kill me. Even though he is my cousin. As I ran down the street the Bar came to view I quickly ran down the steps to the bar and when I got the door slammed it open and yelled 'YES! I made it!' and I raised my arms in to the air.

Then the bar suddenly got quite and everyone was looking at me and I felt my face heat up a bit from the embarrassment 'what can't a girl get excited about going to a bar' I tell the people who are staring at me, trying to make this less awkward and I nailed it ... I hope

'Tori you're late' I heard a familiar voice coming from the bar. I turn to that direction and see my cousin Carl who owned the bar.

I walk up to him 'I know I know, I'm sorry I completely forgot about the extra jobs and my other job ran late. It won't happen again'

'Alright I'll let of this one time, but only because your family. Your shift is in the Kitchen and then later you'll work the bar and tables. Now go and get changed'

'Thank you thank you thank you' I say quickly as I start to head to the back of the bar to freshen up.

After I got changed and I looked at myself at the mirror and saw the that my face was slightly sweaty from me running earlier and my light brown nearly ginger hair was tangled. (A.N: Tori looks like Joanna Garcia)

As fixed my face and my hair I thought about my life right now. I was 25 years old and I was working as Maclaren's chef for a year now and during days my nights off I take on small jobs to raise money for my dream.

My thoughts were cut by my phone ringing and I answer it 'Hello'

'Hey Tori, it's me I'm wondering if we're still on for tonight' I hear my friend Robin of the phone. Even though I've known Robin for like a month she has quickly became my best friend.

'Defiantly, I can't wait. But do feel bad that I'm working on girl's night'

'Well you sound excited for tonight'

'I am, I don't know why but I feel like something good is going to happen tonight'

'And kids something good did happen' a middle aged Ted tells his children

A.N: And there was the prologue for my story I will post the rest of the first episode tomorrow. So what do you guys think i hope you like Tori so far and yes Tori is the mother and no she won't die like Tracey did in the show.

Please Fav and Review :)
