A/N: Short and sweet, but honestly, I'm trying SO hard! I just got some amazing reviews that made me finish this chapter...but at the moment, I'm juggling four stories, all for different topics, a game that I've been dying to re-play (FFX) and I'm starting grade 11 in seven days. Plus, I've got a life :) I know I know - I've bitten off more than I can chew, maybe I should stop some...but I can't. I love doing all of them, but unfortunately this fic is kinda at the bottom of the heap...
I'll stop making excuses :)

Stinson (10:00) Congratulations, you've won an all expenses paid trip to New York! Do you accept?

Kim stared down at her phone in wonder.

You drunk? She texted back

Stinson (10:03) I swear I spelt 'congratulations' correctly? Why would I be drunk at ten?

Kim laughed, receiving strange looks from her workmates.

"I'm on lunch, sue me," she grinned at her friends.

What are you talking about then?

Stinson (10:10) Exactly what I mean. Come to New York with me and Bill – play my fiancé.

Oh. You want me as bait.

Stinson (10:13) I'm sorry. But I was going to pay for all your expenses

Kim rubbed her face. She hadn't had a holiday in a while...and she could probably milk it for all it's worth...

When you say...all my expenses paid...?

Stinson (10:21) Everything. Whatever you want. I'm getting my old job back. Go to a spa, eat until you feel guilty.

Kim smiled.

I'm going to have to think about it.

Stinson (10:43) Well...we're leaving in about 20 minutes. When you make up your mind, tell me and I'll buy you a plane ticket + meet you at the airport when your plane arrives!

Kim closed her phone. Her lunch break was over.

Barney lay back against the seats in First Class. Both Bill and him had been saving ever since they left New York in the first place, then pooled their money.

With over $10,000 at their disposal, they figured they'd be okay until they could get their jobs back.

"You okay?" Bill asked, glancing at his best friend as the plane took off.

Barney nodded. "This is what I want to do. Whether I step back into their lives or not, I don't want to run anymore,"

Bill was amazed at the strength of his friend. He wouldn't have been able to do it himself.

After snoozing for what felt like forever, the plane landed. As soon as they were in the airport and had collected their gear, Barney turned on his phone, finding he had received a message.

Kim(Yesterday) I'm in. Set me up.

Barney looked over at Bill with a grin.

"She's in."

A/N: I'm in the process of hating this chapter, and hating it's length, but hopefully this'll keep you going for now. I shall try to write more! kthxbai
