"Are we there yet?" Barney whines from the passenger seat.

Robin rolls her eyes at her husband, "Barney you have asked that question 5 times and we just got out of the city."

"But I'm booooooored." He mutters, crossing his arms and glancing out the window. Long car rides always made his ADHD act up.

"We'll be in Canada in no time," she tells him, "Find something to do."

"Why didn't we just fly to Canada? Driving is going to take forever."

God, he's such a child, Robin thinks to herself before answering, "Because we always fly places. Road trips are fun."

"If you say so..." Uncertainty filling his voice.

"Can you please just try and entertain yourself for a couple minutes? Please?" Robin pleads.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Barney pulls his iPod out of his pocket and plugs it in. Hitting shuffle, a familiar beat begins faintly playing out of the speakers. A grin lights up Barney's face as he turns the volume up.

"Barney, really?" Robin asks, failing to hide her amusement.

"C'mon on Jessica! C'mon Tori! Let's go to the mall, you won't be sorry!" He sings, in lieu of an answer.

Robin laughs and joins in with him, much to his amusement. After the song ends, Barney scrolls down to the rest of his Robin Sparkles/Daggers playlist. Robin entertains him with a live version of all of them. Barney sings along, having memorized all the words to them.

"But now I'm building..." Robin starts.

"Sandcastles in the sand!" He finishes, "Thought I could fly when I held your hand!"

They laugh and sing together long after they reach the end of the playlist. Robin enjoying Barney's singing, one of his many talents, and Barney enjoying her reactions to him. His enthusiasm was always irresistible, as long as she had known him. They drive all day, singing and giggling together, complaints forgotten.
