Hey! Sorry for taking so long to update this, but I've had so much going on lately and I just felt like I needed to update this today and I had to finish it before I go, so I wrote it really quick, so I'm sorry if it's bad.

And about the ending of this chapter, I wanted to write more, but I don't have time right now and I thought it'd be ok to end it the way I did even if I had another ending in mind and there are things in this chapter I wanted to make better, but just really wanted to update this today, so I really hope it's OK.

Her heart fluttered when the door opened. She expected to see Barney, but instead she looked into the eyes of a girl. They reminded her a lot of Barney. Blue, shiny beautiful eyes.

"You must be Robin." She said and smiled.

Robin nodded, "yes, and you must be Ellie."

Ellie nodded and let her in. "My dad told me you would come, but he's not here yet."

Robin still couldn't believe how old she'd become. She was about 12 years old and she looked a lot like Barney. Her eyes, her smile. She was beautiful.

"Where is your dad?"

"He said he just wanted to buy something. He'll be home soon. Just make yourself at home."

Robin smiled and found a spot on the couch while Ellie went into the bathroom.

It didn't take long before she heard strange noises from the bathroom.

"Are you alright in there?" Robin yelled and stepped in to see Ellie struggling with a straightener.

"Not really, I've never used this shit before." She replied while stroking her messy hair away from her eyes.

"I can help you."

Ellie nodded and smiled wildly at the thought of that.

He stepped into the apartment and immediately heard the sound of the two most beautiful laughs he'd ever heard. He went straight to the bathroom door and found it locked. "What are you doing to my daughter, Scherbatsky?" He yelled a bit annoyed just because he couldn't go in.

He heard them laugh even more and he couldn't help but crack a smile.

"Take it easy daddy, you'll see soon."

A couple of minutes later the door to the bathroom opened and Ellie stepped outside. Her hair had never been straightened before and it looked absolutely beautiful on her and her make up looked better than ever.

"Did you do this to her?" He asked still looking at Ellie, but clearly asking Robin the question.

"Yup," she answered and he could hear she did her best to keep laughter away, which made him look up at her.

"Oh my god"

He looked from Robin to Ellie and back to Robin. "Did you do this to her?" He pointed at Robin while looking at Ellie and Ellie nodded with the biggest smile on her face.

"She showed me a video on her phone and I begged her if I could make her look like that again."

Barney looked stunned. He'd never in a million years thought he'd see Robin do this. "And she gave in?"

"Yes dad, don't you see that she did?"

Barney nodded, still looking at Robin. "You didn't dye her hair for real, right?"

Robin scratched her head, while Ellie answered. "No, dad, relax. That's just a wig, but it looks real."

Barney still nodded and looked at both of them with big eyes.

"Well, I should get going so Amy's mom don't have to wait too long for me." Ellie said and made her way to the door.

"Have a great time," Barney said.

"Thanks, dad." She said and ran back to him and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She then looked over to Robin. "Thank you for helping me. I actually look good for once."

"No problem, that's what bro's are for, isn't it?" Robin said and winked.

Ellie laughed and hugged her, "you're right."

"Ellie seems to like you quite a lot." Barney said and gave her a glass of scotch.

"Yeah, I like her too." Barney smiled and reached his hand over to her hair, or actually to her wig and took it off. "I like you better as a brunette." Robin smiled, "me too."

It was a moment of silent until he sat down beside her on the couch, "but you should dress up like Robin Sparkles more often."

Robin looked curious into his eyes, trying to read what was on his mind. "Why should I do that?"

Barney just shook his head and looked down on his hands. "Nah, I guess it's stupid."

Robin didn't know what she was doing. She'd even forgotten why she came here in the first place. She knew she had something she wanted to tell him, but she'd forgotten it now and it seemed like he had something to tell her or at least something on his mind and she had to know what.

"Okay, I know that when I say *it's stupid* it's not stupid, and for some reason I think the same goes for you."

Barney's eyes went wide as he looked back up at her, "same goes for me?!"

Robin nodded.

"No, no, when I say it's stupid, it really is stupid." He said with a high pitched voice.

Robin chuckled, "Well, whatever. I don't care if it's stupid, tell me."

She could see Barney had troubles telling her, but she wouldn't let that stop her from pushing.

"When I saw you like Robin Sparkles, it brought back memories, good memories," he said dreamy, "REALLY GOOD memories."

Robin didn't even have to ask what he was talking about.

Summer 2015:

"Whatever this is, it better be good." She could hear him say where he lay on the sand with his eyes covered with his own tie.

"Be patient." She answered while struggling with the sandcastles she tried to make as perfect as possible. She didn't really know why it was so important that it was perfect. They would probably jump on them soon anyways. She'd made 2 pretty awesome sandcastles and now she just had to put her blonde wig on and the fun would start.

He felt her hands on his abs stroking sand all over his body, "God, Robin, what the hell are you doing?"

"Don't you like it?" She asked a little bit confused, but she didn't stop.

"Aah, it feels so good."

Robin straddled him, leaned down and kissed him passionately on his lips.

"You ready to see?" She asked.

"Are you kidding, I need to see."

She chuckled and pulled his tie slowly away from his eyes.

"Wow!" He looked at her in awe, quite shocked. "You...you...you..."

"Shut up," she interrupted him and kissed him once again.

"You look so hot," he said between kisses. To shut him up she pushed her tongue inside of his mouth and he let out a moan. The kiss grew wilder and the feel of his tongue touching hers made her almost forget what she had planned. She abruptly broke the kiss.

"What?" He asked confused as she turned to look over her shoulder.

She didn't answer, she stretched her hand for something and pushed a button. As she did that, Barney discovered the sandcastles that she'd made and they were beautiful, before he could say something he heard the song. And the biggest grin formed on his face. "God, Scherbatsky, I love you."

She knew he'd seen the sandcastles, but right now she didn't care about them. She wondered why she'd even cared making them. All she could think of now was back to the first time they did it together and she knew he was thinking about the same thing.

"You remember..." She started, but he quickly interrupted her, "how could I forget?"

He said and pulled her back to him, kissing her passionately with their song playing in the background.

But now I'm building

Sandcastles in the sand (Sandcastles in the sand)

Thought I could fly when you held my hand (thought I could fly)

(Now) Eternity turns to black and white

It was the greatest week and a half

Of my life
