Barney Stenson sat at the pub with Lily, Marshall, and Robin. He was still baffled by Carmen, she was the only girl he had slept with that he didn't have to shove out the door, or scare away using his storm trooper uniform. Marshall gave Barney a dirty look that hoping he'd get the mental message he was screaming at him. 'What you did was wrong, Barney!'
Barney just raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Marshall was trying to communicate.
"You shouldn't have done that last night. Barney, the girl was obviously depressed and you took advantage of her drunken stupor," Marshall frowned.
"Yeah, so? Where's the high fives?" Barney replied.
"Okay, I admit on a regular situation I would have but this was Ted's friends' friend. You don't do that to friends by association."
"Friends? Marshall we don't even know her," Barney defended.
"Friends by association are friends by association not up for dispute."
"Well if it makes you feel better she left me in the morning anyways."
Lily spat out her drink as she began to laugh the whole table aside from Barney started to laugh.
"She-ahahah-skipped out on you, she pulled a Barney on Barney," Robin laughed.
Ted walked in through the door of the pub just then and came over to his friends. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing, nothing at all," Barney shot the table looks to shut up.
"Yeah right, nothing psshh Carmen that drunk chick last night skipped out on Barney," Lily admitted still cracking up. Ted began laughing loudly as well.
Lily began to cry due to her excessive laughing.
Barney was very embarrassed he regretted telling them what happened at all.
"Dude that's too funny, so Barney how does it feel to be exploited for your body?" Ted asked.
Barney chuckled to himself, "Are you kidding it's fantastic no need to bother pushing her away if she does it herself. I just scored big time meaningless sex for both of the people involved. I'm in heaven." Barney couldn't help but think that was a lie, he hadn't felt so fantastic that morning where he realized she was missing. He couldn't help but wonder what prompted Carmen to leave him in the morning. Why did she leave him? Not that he cared, he was just curious. Or so his mind rationalized not used to having feelings other than heartlessness.
