Comment: Thanks for your reviews :)) Genesis, you're right of course, as of 8x24, the wedding date is the 26th. I still went with Robin's original statement that it's May 25th, haha x) Hope you all enjoy this one. xx

I love you for my life, 'cause you're a friend of mine

"I bet you twenty bucks that the Mets are gonna win this match," Robin says, handing him a beer.

Barney rolls his eyes. "Twenty? What is this, kindergarten?" – "You have a gambling problem, and I'm broke. So, you in or you in?"

He is in, of course. He doesn't really care. The most important thing to him right now is that she's here after the whole Jerry-fiasco.

"Thanks," he mutters between innings, knocking his knee against hers. "You're awesome, you know that?"

"Yeah," she smiles affectionately. "That comes with being Canadian."

He snorts, pulling her into a one-armed hug anyway.
