(Lilys point of view)
I walked through the door expecting to find Robin sitting happily with Barney. Since they were going to officially be in a relationship soon, I couldn't bare to miss a second of them being a couple. I've waited for so long for the perfect couple for me and Marshall to double-date with and now I have them!
But instead I found Robin sitting, sulking on the couch, crying her eyes out.
I rushed over to her, "Robin, Robin, what's wrong?"
"I...he just...he just left." She replied in between sobs.
"Who left? Barney?" I asked confused, "Well, you know Barney, he probably just went downstairs to get you guys some drinks or talk to Ted or something."
She looked up at me and said, "I thought that too at first. So I went downstairs to look for him and he was..." She sighed, "He was making out with some blonde bimbo."
I couldn't believe it. I had never seen Barney act the way he did about Robin before and he throws it all away just like that? I didn't understand, "Are you sure? Maybe it wasn't him. Maybe it was just...someone who looked like him?" I was trying to convince both myself and Robin that she was wrong.
"No, it was definitly him." She said sadly.
She was quiet a moment and then continued, "I just don't get it, you know? He asks me to be his girlfriend and then he leaves? It doesn't make any sense."
I knew she was right. It didn't make much sense, but then when does Barney ever make any sense?
"Robin, he must of had a reason for leaving."
"Yeah, he changed his mind. He doesn't like me...he'd rather make-out with some random girl then have me as a steady girlfriend."
I didn't know what to say, I felt so bad for Robin and couldn't believe what Barney had done to her.

The next morning: (Barneys point of view)
The next thing I knew, it was morning and I was waking up in some girls bed. When I awoke, she was still fast asleep which gave me time to use her shower and then high-tale it out of there. After I left, I headed down to play a quick game of laser tag then went to McClarens for a gin and tonic. But nothing I did, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't get Robin off of my mind. She was all I could think about. And I didn't know how I would face her again, after she rejected me. The only girl I ever really cared about, and she doesn't want to be with me.
A while after being in the bar and having a few drinks, Lily came through the door. She didn't notice me at first but once she did, she came running over.
"Barney, what the hell is wrong with you?" She practically screamed.
"What are you talking about?"
"I know what you did to Robin last night. I can't--I can't believe you. I thought you actually cared about her but obviously you don't--"
I interupted her, "Dude, I don't know what your going on about, but last night I told Robin everything, I asked her to be my girlfriend, and all she did was leave the room."
"Yeah, to answer the phone."
"Lil, she obviously doesn't feel the same way about me, so she used the phone call as an excuse to leave and not say anything. So don't talk when you have no clue whats going on, okay?"
Lily started to look annoyed, "Your the one who has no clue whats going on, Barney. I came over last night to see Robin crying on the couch. And when I asked her what was wrong, she said that she saw you making out with some chick."
"She saw that? And she was upset?" I was quiet for a moment, "Then why did she answer the phone?"
"Because it was ringing.....?"
I just sat there, thinking about what I did, thinking about how I just made what might be the biggest mistake I've ever made with a girl.
Then I stated, "I have to talk to her."
"Yeah, that would probably be a good idea."
I started to head upstairs when Lily stopped me, "And just so you know Barney, you better have a HUGE appoligy ready, because Robins not only gonna be upset when she sees you, shes gonna be mad."
"Thanks for the heads up." I honesty replied.
I started walking away and thought that Lily made a good point. If I want to be with Robin then I really should have a big speech lined up for her. I thought and thought but I couldn't come up with a good enough speech for her. It had to be perfect, because she's perfect....
I walked to the door of her apartment and knocked, and within seconds she answered it.
I looked into her gorgeous brown eyes and couldn't believe I made them cry last night. I felt absolutly horrible.
"Robin, I'm so sorry, I--"
"What are you doing here Barney?" she said softly with a hint of sadness in her voice.
I just looked at her, not knowing what to say. What could I say? I had to make her understand that I didn't mean to hurt her. And that I would never hurt her again.
"What are you doing here Barney?" she asked again, this time her voice was loud and stern.
"I wanted to apoligize, I know what you must think of me...that I'm--"
She cut me off mid-sentence, "An insensitive jackass?"
"Robin, you don't get it...I really thought that by answering the phone, you were rejecting me."
"Barney, come on, if your going to lie to me, at least make up a lie that actually makes sence."
"But its true." I argued.
Robin looked skeptical, "Not even your that dumb."
"Actually....I am" I replied and I saw Robin start to smile.
I contined on, "Because only someone as dumb as me would hurt the girl he loves on accident."
She was silent for a few moments before she asked, "Loves?"
I could barely breath. Did I just say that? Did I really just tell Robin I love her?
I was about to explain myself but then she interupted me--with a kiss.
I made out with millions of girls in my life--not that I'm bragging--but this was by far the most passionate kiss I've ever had.
When she pulled away, we looked at each other and smiled.
But I was confused, "Robin, aren't you still mad at me?"
"Nah...How could I stay mad at someone as awesome as you? Someone who will always be there for me, someone who's my boyfriend and my bro, someone who loves me."
I smiled and she did too and then she said, "So how about we go on our first official date?"
I was a little nervous, but I, of course, replied yes.
"Okay then" she said, "It's time for some lasertag!"
