A few moments later a waitress dropped off wings. Everyone stared at barney who just sat eating. eventually Robin shouted "Tell us! Was this just another scam?"
Barney looked up from his wings and smiled.
"Yes it was, I did it to prove how awesome I was, but I also learned how much you all love me. Yes even you said you missed the old me!" he added looking right at Lilly. "You guys just know how awesome I really am!"
Barney pulled a tape recorder out his pocket "and its all on tape" He added and grinned.
"So did you ever even lose your memory?' Marshal askedl as he stole one of Barneys wings.
"No, Lets face it I am awesome, I just wanted my friends to think I am as amazing as I am. Let me tell you the amnesia thing works. In fact this one babe...
Kids being a gentleman I can not tell you what Barney said; so i will fast forward till a few minutes later.
"But Barney! I went in and talked to Tara, she said you had amnesia!" Ted said then took a sip of beer.
"Oh Ted, ugly women need love too. She wanted to be with the old Barnicle. I told her I would sleep with her if she helped me. Let me tell you, what she lacks in looks she more than makes up for." Barney said raising his arm for a high five.
"I can't even look at you right now!" Ted said.
Instead everyone looked at Lilly. As the official punisher of the group she had the most say.
"You can't sit with us all week. Also you have to go hook up with piper tonight.
Yes, you have to sleep with the same woman twice!"
"And tell her you are sorry" Marshall added.
Barney cringed but said nothing.
"At her place!" Lilly added.
she ignored teds half whispered "pregnancy must have softened her" comment.
Barney hung his head in his hands "fine..." he barked and hit the table. In secret he was happy. He had gotten off pretty light. Barney went over to Piper , talked for a few minutes, and soon the two of them walked out of the bar together.
The next morning Barney walked back to his apartment. Lilly might have helped him discover something amazing. He had wasted so much time at his place making it the perfect area to seduce women. Not only did he not have to worry about cleaning up, but Piper was a lot more "liberal" in her own bed. However he had discovered something even more awesome. No, he had discovered HE was awesome. He had pulled one of his worst scams yet and all he got was a weeks banishment. He had gotten a month for much less.
"You are Legend..wait for it...ary, Legendary" Barney said out loud to himself.
He did feel guilty about one thing. Some very special friends had been hurt. He ran to his suit closet it had been over a day since he paid them a visit. He promised right there to not go a day without wearing one. He pulled open his closet and screamed. Every suit was gone. In its place was a single hanger with a note attached.
It read: Dear Barney,
I have taken your suits away.
Until you can show to me you respect
women you are not getting them back.
Signed,
Lilly.
Barney fainted at the site of the note.
Kids Barney hit his head on the dresser on his way down. He got amnesia for 5 weeks. However it took us 6 to believe him.
