Our First Date

Rebecca and I shared a wonderful time at the wedding but I knew that I had to see this woman again. She was everything I'd been looking for, she played bass guitar, could quote obscure lines from movies and loved dogs. So after the wedding I called her to ask her out and she agreed to have dinner with me the day after the wedding. I went for a drink with Marshall and Lily at MacLarens to calm myself. "So tell me more about this girl, you two looked really cosy at the wedding" Lily giggled. She was acting so excited I was almost scared she was going to ask for her and Marshall to tag along. "She's amazing, I know I've said probably thousands of times before but I really feel like this girl could be it." Marshall and Lily just looked at each other and shook their heads. "Ted, you always think these girls are the One and then you end up disappointed when they turn out not be the perfect image you have of the future Mrs Mosby" Lily said to me. "I know but I really do feel like this girl is different" I said and Lily said along with me like I'd said this loads of times before which I had. "Ok you know what think what you want but I am going on my date with a fantastic girl who could very well be the One".

My dinner with Rebecca was at this little Italian place in the Village near Rebecca's apartment. I was learning so much about her like her job at Metropolitan Museum and going on digs around the world. It wasn't until we started on our appetisers that I noticed a couple that looked strangely like Marshall and Lily trying to hide behind their menus and trying to crouch down in their booth. Excusing myself I pretended to go to the bathroom but turned around halfway there and walked right up to the hiding couple. "Ok what's happening now?" Marshall whispered to Lily behind their menus. "What the hell are you two doing?" Ted silently yelled startling Marshall and Lily. "Oh, Hi Ted we just happened to be on our way home and we decided to get some Italian. That's all I swear we had no idea you'd be here" Lily babbled nervously. "Ok first of all your apartment is on the other side of town and second of all why would you follow me here?" Ted ranted as Marshall and Lily hung their heads in guilt. "Ted is everything ok here?" Rebecca asked as she walked up behind him. "Hey Rebecca these are my friends Lily and Marshall who just happened to be here coincidently" Ted laughed nervously. Rebecca chuckled, "they followed us here didn't they?" Ted nodded embarrassed as Lily got out of her seat. "Rebecca I know this seems kinda weird but the only reason me and Marshal did this is because we know that Ted really likes you and you two seemed to have so much fun at the wedding and we just wanted to make sure that nothing bad happened on this date. Ted's a great guy and we just wanted you to know that." Rebecca smiled and looked at Ted fondly "You don't have to convince me how great Ted is, Lily and I don't think what you did was weird I actually think it's quite sweet that you care about Ted so much and it just makes me feel like he's something really special so how about sit down together and enjoy a nice dinner?" Ted, Marshall and Lily agreed and that dinner turned out to be the first of many couple nights between the two.

Sorry for the long wait on this chapter. Blame it on lack of inspiration and college. Anyway I really am going to try to update more regularly and if anyone has any requests for the next one shot I'm more than happy to hear about it. Please Review
