"You're what?!" Lily scream whispered.

"Lily, I can't! I mean… I can't! I want to, I really do, but I can't! I mean… It's Barney! Barney Stinson! The man who has slept with 200 different women! The man who plays laser tag and drinks scotch and calls every morning before I go on and helped me get my job so that I could stay in this country and watches movies with me and…" Robin's eyes bulged. "Oh God!"

"Robin…" Lily stared at her. "Do you have feelings for Barney?"

"No… No… No no no!" Robin started to panic. "No no no no no!............... Oh God I do!"

Lily hugged her. "Then why are you going to France?"

"Because I… I need to figure this out! Lily, I really want to climb back in that bed and lie there with him till he wakes up,"

Lily beamed at her.

"And that scares me!"

Lily frowned.

"The fact that I want to be with Barney scares me. Plus, if he really cares about me then why did he still sleep with all those girls? I mean… How long have you known?"

"…About nine months…"

"How many girls do you think Barney has slept with in those nine months? Even if he only slept with two bimbos a month that's still almost twenty girls since he told you. And I can't…" Robin sat down on the couch. "I have to be sure I won't end up hurt from this."

Lily sat down next to her. "So France?"

Robin nodded. "It just means that I'm gonna be gone for a few months…" She looked down for a moment then looked at Lily. "I've got it!"

Lily arched an eyebrow.

"Two months. IF Barney can go the time I'm gone without sex with anyone then I'll go out with him."

Lily thought for a moment. "That's actually a pretty good idea… It'll definitely prove whether or not he's ready to have a relationship…"

Robin winced.

"Sorry. To have a… Robin." Lily grinned.

"Okay, I need to pack and I need some paper and a pen."

Your Aunt Robin then proceeded to pack with the help of your Aunt Lily. She placed the note on her pillow and even kissed your Uncle Barney lightly by way of a goodbye. Then she headed for the airport leaving Lily to explain to Barney.
