Coming Up With The Plan
Chapter 1 Part 1
2009
It was a fun summer for Barney and Robin, the couple (if they want to call themselves a couple) have been secretly dating. Some say dating while other like themselves call it 'just hanging out' but are they friends? Are they lovers? Are they committed to each other in their own weird disfuctional way? Nobody even them don't know they have to that however they were having the time of their lives. In fact, it was the best summer they ever had and the best relationship they ever had. They took a weekend off to think about what they meant to each other but the most they tried to tell themselves they weren't a couple the more they seemed to look so much like a couple. They started somehow in a 'I didn't know you would be wearing that color' but in the end of the summer they started to casuall not care about what they were because both found it funny especially when neither of them told the other one what they were going to wear.
Everytime they stepped outside every person they come across thinks they're a couple. That of course just went along with it until it became an annual thing. One minute their sitting eating in a nice small diner where they don't know anyone and nobody knows them, the next minute they would be getting stares or comments saying how cute they look as a couple. They brush it off right away but the most they thought about it the more they began to realize that maybe they are more than just casual sex and early morning and late night phone calls or text. They might be a couple, it first scared them a little bit but the more they hung out and started to casually go on dates and weekend vacations without anyone knowing. The more they thought about maybe trying this whole couple thing.
Which brings them to September when Lily and the guys started questioning what they meant to each other. Of course by now they already knew that they were a couple by keeping this whole past summer a secret. But, then came fall and a sudden breakup for what seemed to be a happy couple. They both seemed so in love with each other but then Robin just springs this news on the rest of the gang and they were shocked, well for a minute or so then they went back to what they were doing before Robin's announcement.
Which brings them to the present day before their sudden breakup.
This wasn't the best plan but it could work as long as they stuck together with their stories. Working as a team again like they did back when they were keeping their sexually loving summer a secret. But, they think this could work on their friends.
"Breaking up was the best idea you ever had. I never thought you had it in you to actually make our breakup look real." Barney is so empressed with how Robin handled the gang and went along with what they planned on doing.
"It was, but we aren't broken up we are taking a break from being a couple. Or so they think." Robin laughs in That Joker voice she's gotten good at in the last month. It's funny but also a real big turn on for Barney but that won't be happening yet. That's for later tonight.
"They just think we actually broke up but when they find out that we're actually engaged they will blow a gascate. Lily would be happy, Marshall will go along with Lily's happines and poor sad delusional Ted will think that I'm making a big mistake by marrying you. Which I am not." Robin cleared up, she never had the heart to actually break up with Barney she knows where she belongs and that's right here sitting next to him curled up on Barney's black sofa watching his big screen TV. It's moments like this that she loves the most, they don't always have to be on each other in the sexual way but being here just talking about their plan and watching TV with a bowl of freshly made popcorn is some of Robin's happiest times.
When they came up with the plan to fake breakup they decided to make everything about the breakup look real that means bringing all her stuff back to her apartment, bringing some of his stuff, like shirts and ties back to his place and also making sure that neither of them are caught being together like right now. And also include another breakup this time a divorce. They will get to Ted another time but for now it's Marshall and Lily who will be getting the first of many revenge plots.
*Flashback*
The next two weeks after their 'breakup' went by very quickly. With Robin always working and then going home afterwards they barely had anytime to talk to catch up on things that were happening with the gang. None of the gang knows anything, they all still think they are broken up and are totally fine with it. They had gone back to their 'normal' lives after their announcement but that's only for the gang to think. Anytime they're with them at MacLaren's or some place else they act normal like they would do if they were broken up but when they don't see the gang Robin sometimes goes over to Barney's apartment and usually/sometimes she's there by herself. Barney had officially made her his roommate but she's still living with Ted which she hates because he thinks Barney and her are not together anymore. So, she tries in her spare time to go there since it's now her place as well as Barney's. Best thing about moving in with Barney... Paying no rent. That's one of the benefits of being his fiancée.
"So it's been two weeks and I hope we can come up with few ways to make their lives a living hell". Robin says. "With our two awesome brains working together on this I am sure we can find way to make that happen." Barney said. "We have to be sure we get revenge on Marshall and Lily as pair and get revenge on Ted we get revenge on solo." Robin replied.
"Good point." Barney answered back.
"So do you want to start with your revenge list or should I start with mine with mine?" Robin asked. "How about you say one from your list and then all say one from my list then will see if either idea or both ideas are something that could work. Or come up with an effective way of getting our message across to them. Which is don't mess with our happiness and relationship and we won't mess with yours." Barney replied back.
"That's a very direct message and I agree that should the message we need to drill into their heads and be the driving force of executing our plan and you are right on everything and why we're doing this in the first place." Robin agreed because that message was one driving point of their revenge.
"Alright ready to start brainstorming?" Barney asked.
"Yeah." Robin replied
"Okay my first idea is to file fake divorce papers for Marshall and Lily." Which was Robin's first idea.
"Robin that is very, very evil and exactly something I would have come up with in a revenge plan for them. Scherbatsky you are one extremely special person and an incredible fiancée. I guess it is true what they say 'two awesome minds working together are better than one awesome mind working alone'.
"They will think this is true. I love it, this could work, getting them to fight so badly that it'll cause a pending divorce. I realized that Lily's shopping debt is really high, if we tell Marshall that she is maxing out their credit cards it will lead to Marshall asking her if she's reliable enough to have her keep track of her own money and the bills they needs to pay every month." Barney is really excited about this but does have some resavations about if this was too much especially for Marshall and Lily who seem to get over anything to save their relationship.
"So the plan is in motion. You will get Lily to admit she's been mistreating their money again and not paying her half of the rent on time. They will fight and hopefully it'll lead to them breaking up maybe divorcing. If it does get that far that's when we stop that revenge." If this doesn't work Barney and Robin aren't going to come out of this looking like they won this battle.
"Okay, so we'll put it in motion tomorrow when you have lunch with Lily." Barney is hopeful that this works but still he wants to make this perfect so that's why he took some early steps to make this look serious and permanent. Earlier this morning he called a lawyer to draw up divorce papers for Marshall and Lily he made sure that the papers are legit because Marshall is a lawyer and knows what real divorce papers look like.
So, the plan is in motion now and tomorrow Lily and Robin will meet for lunch. During lunch Robin will record the entire conversation they will have which then after lunch Robin will send it directly to Barney who will be with Marshall at Maclaren's talking about something other than divorce or in recent talk Barney and Robin's breakup who Lily still blames on Barney but that's a whole other story. That will get his own revenge on Lily by changing her last name to Marshall's last name because you know she belongs with Marshall and should have her husbands last name right?
