Fantasy 2030
N.B. It's basically only Marshall imagining the whole thing. Similar to how in a nutshell, it was basically only Ted imagining 2015 on the show.
Marshall , Lily, and Barney are seated on a bench. All three are crying. Oh and Marshall is not sporting a moustache
BARNEY: I can't believe it finally happened. No! I'm not crying!
LILY: [crying] They finally got married…I never thought this day would happen. [blows nose with handkerchief]
MARSHALL: [sobbing] Oh my God! They did it! They actually did it!
We zoom over to the altar where we see the backs of a bride and a groom, but we do not see their faces. The bride's brown hair, which is graying a little bit shows.
REVEREND: By the power invested in me by God and by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
The bride and groom show their faces. The groom is not Ted, but a 26-year old ruffian with an unshaved face a shaved head, a nose ring, and a knife tattoo on his neck. Robin's hair is down. She has a blackeye on the right hand side, bilateral check bruises, and her left arm is in a cast.
We zoom out and see that the groom's side has a bunch of punks, ex-convicts, and other lowlifes of ill-repute. The bride's side only has Marshall, Lily, and Barney
We zoom back to Lily, Marshall, and Barney.
MARSHALL: [still sobbing] Oh, Ted! Why wouldn't you listen to me in 2027?
LILY: I kept telling her not to marry this douchebag. She would not listen.
BARNEY: Katie tried to convince her so many times. Her words just fell on deaf ears. Genevieve refused to attend.
LILY: Which mother misses her own daughter's wedding, besides a dead one?
MARSHALL: We now know the answer to that question, Lily. Robin Sr. called me and said he'd have preferred Ted as a son-in-law anyday over this butt-reaming a—hole.
BARNEY: He himself refused to come to this wedding.
MARSHALL: I should have disobeyed Robin and objected, when the priest said: "If there is any just cause to why these two should not wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." [sobs]
BARNEY: We should go cheer Ted up with a little Trilogy Time.
LILY: Good idea. Let's go.
[Cut to Ted's house]
Marshall presses doorbell. No answer. He presses again. Luke answers door.
MARSHALL: Hey, Lukie boy. Is you dad home?
LUKE: [sobbing] Uncle Marshall, Dad's dead!
MARSHALL: WHAT?!
LUKE: It just happened 5 minutes ago!
LILY: Oh no!
BARNEY: [sobbing] No! This can't happen!
They run to Ted's bedroom. Penny is sitting on the floor her face buried in her arms crying. Lily goes over to comfort her.
[cut scene to Ted's bedroom. We see pictures of Ted, Tracy, and the kids on the wall, including wedding photos. But what really catches our attention is that Ted is lying dead on the bed with a laser sword through his belly]
MARSHALL: [sobbing] Oh my God! No!
BARNEY: [sobbing] This can't be happening…[vomits]
Marshall finds a note on Ted's nightstand. He picks it up and reads it.
TED'S VOICE: To Whom it May Concern, October 4, 2024 was the worst day of my life. This is my second worst day of my life. I lost the two most important women in my life. The first one I lost to a fatal disease. The second one I lost through procrastination. Marshall was right, I should have opened my heart to you, Robin, during our numerous outings and family trips after Tracy died. If I cannot live without my Tracy or my Robin, I should not live at. Goodbye Penelope. Goodbye Lucas. I will always love you and I will continue to keep an eye on you from heaven. Marshall, Lily, Barney, I want you guys to help raise my kids. Robin, I want you to know that I love, and I will always love you. I loved you ever since I laid eyes on you back on that beautiful night in September of 2005. Goodbye everybody, until we meet in heaven. Theodore Evelyn Mosby.
BARNEY: I'm going to call 911.
MARSHALL: [holding Ted] Ted, you dumb Buckeye. You were my best friend. We could talked this over and had a Robintervention. Why did you do this? Why? [sobs on Teds torso]
[cut scene to outside house] Marshall, Lilly, Barney, Penny, and Luke hold each others' hands in tears while Ted's covered body is place into the back of an ambulance.
LILY: Luke, Penny, Uncle Marshall, Uncle Barney, and I will take good care of you. Things will be allright.
[Barney's phone rings]
BARNEY: Hello? Uh huh? Uh huh? Oh God, no! [Sobs]
MARSHALL: Barney, what's the matter?
BARNEY: That was the New York City Police Department…Robin was murdered.
LILY: Oh no! Two deaths in one day! [sobs]
The groups embraces each other and cries.
Cut scene to cemetery. The surviving gang and the offspring place flowers on Ted's and Robin's graves. All are in tears and all are dressed in black. We see the following epitaphs:
