Robin looked at her beige wedding dress with tears streaked on her face. She now realized that Barney wasn't for her, considering they had broken up several hours ago. She went on her bed, laid down on her pillow and cried herself to sleep.
When she woke up it was three in the morning. She crawled slowly out of bed and looked at her watch, that said three o'clock. Then she went to the bathroom to clean herself up.
She had remembered kissing Peter on the lips. Peter had kissed her back because they had developed a friendship, and they were in love with each other. Robin had feelings for Peter, because she was no longer sure she had feelings for Barney.
She dried off her face and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Robin and Lily went out for breakfast together. Robin wasn't very hungry, but she had to go to breakfast anyway.
"Two pancakes with bacon and toast please," said Robin.
"So do you feel better than you did last night?" Lily asked.
"Yeah. But I'm groggy from sleeping."
"You were crying yourself to sleep."
"I know, I hate the fact that Barney got mad at me for kissing Peter. I'd rather be friends with Barney than be in love with him."
"You called it off?
"Yeah, and I don't want to marry him." She hesitated for a minute. "I'm in love with Peter."
"Okay, well, I'm okay with it, although he'd gotten pissed off at you." Lily looked at the waitress.
"I'm just having a fruit salad. Sorry for the long wait."
The waitress smiled and nodded at Lily, then left.
"I want to take back the wedding dress we bought together, since we broke off the engagement."
"Okay, we'll do that. When will we do it?"
"Sometime this afternoon." Robin looked at her planner. "Four o'clock."
Later that day, Robin and Lily took back the wedding dress. They told the cashier that Robin had called off the engagement and she didn't need the dress any longer. Then they came out of the bridal store and found Peter.
"Hey," said Peter.
"Hey." Robin looked at him.
"So are you feeling better today?"
"Yeah, I think I'll be okay."
"I'll see you soon," Lily said. She ran to her apartment.
"Is that your friend?" said Peter.
"Yeah, that's Lily," Robin said. Then Robin and Peter walked the streets of New York City and enjoyed the rest of their day.
