"Ready for the big night?", Marshall shouts when he sees Ted coming into MacLarens. Ted blushes and sits down next to him. Lily smiles and Barney rolls his eyes, when Ted begins to talk, "Oh my god. I´m so nervous, you have no idea!"

"It´s just a stupid date, Ted, not your freaking wedding day", Barney mumbles.

"Someone seems to be jealous, because he didn´t get the girl this time, huh?", Ted teases him.

"Please. You are going to watch a movie with her, but I already kissed her. No, wait, understatement - I made out with her. So technically, I had the girl first."

"Oh Barney, come on. You have already kissed 90% of all women in New York, that´s nothing special. Plus, you guys have been drunk. You haven´t spend a night with her or had a proper date.", Ted states.

Barney bits his tongue. If only Ted knows what Barney has already done with Robin. They went to restaurants, they watched tons of movies, they had been to the cigar bar a few times, they play laser tag as much as they can and they surely spend some great nights together. Barney regrets that he and Robin promised each other not to talk about their past. He was friends with her months before Robin got to know Lily, Marshall and Ted. He had actually met her, when she had just moved to New York! Robin has been already living in New York for five months when she came into MacLarens and sat down on the booth to Lily, Marshall, Ted and him. Barney would love to see Ted´s face, but he can´t say anything. Robin would be mad, if he did. She was already mad at him though. They haven´t seen each other since their little fight, when she told him, she will go out with Ted. But seriously, how could she? She knows, Ted is his friend and he has warned her about Ted a few times now. Why is she so stubborn?

To this moment, Barney was sure, he wasn´t jealous about Robin going out with Ted. He told himself, that Robin and Ted would never be a couple and that he just wanted to protect Robin from boredom, but that he was not jealous. He couldn´t be! He is Barney Stinson after all.

However, this attitude quickly changes, when Robin walks into the bar. Her hair fell down in big waves, her blue eyes sparkling. She hasn´t too much make-up on, just the right amount to enhance her beautiful face. And the dress! Barney has never seen that dress on her before. It´s a cute little white summer dress, perfect for the warm night. He can´t keep his eyes off of her, but when Ted stands up and gives her a kiss on her cheeks, it feels like a stab right into his heart. In this moment he realizes, Robin didn´t dress up for him, but for Ted, his hopelessly romantic friend. How could she do that? He thought that she didn´t want to go out with Ted in the first place and now she´s here and looking absolutely stunning. Although he couldn´t admit it before, Barney knows now that he is jealous about Ted and Robin. He has been since Ted first spoke to her and made it quite obvious he wants to be with Robin.

"Hey, guys!", Robin´s voice brings Barney back to reality, he can´t stop staring at Robin though.

"Hey, you. Oh, Robin, you look so beautiful! That dress is awesome.", Lily greets back.

"Thank you! What are your plans tonight?", Robin asks Lily and Marshall, ignoring Barney.

"Nothing special, just some drinks", Marshall answers.

"For you maybe", Barney raises his eyebrow. He just saw a tall blonde walking in. "I will check out if that hot chick over there is falling for one of my plays." He grins devilishly. If Robin has a date, he can have one too. She can ignore him and watch tons of movies with Ted, he won´t care. At least he will try not to care. He can have as much women as he wants, he doesn´t need Robin. With these thoughts in his head, he tries to suppress his jealousy and walks towards the blonde chick. Too bad, he doesn´t see Robin´s short, but hurtful look, when he goes away and lets her all alone with Ted. It stings badly that Barney ignores her and walks away with some other girl. To be honest, she just dressed up like that for him. She knows he loves sundresses on her and deep down, she hoped Barney would get jealous and won´t let her go with Ted. But now it´s her who feels a sting of jealousy.
