"Hello?"

"Why did you call me again? I thought I told you it was a wrong number."

"But you also asked if I could remember you. Please, just tell me your name at least? Maybe I met you and never added your number, or maybe something weird happened to my phone."

"I... I can't."

"And why not?"

"It would place too much pressure on you."

"Hmm, well that would be stressful, wouldn't it? Just go ahead and tell me, I'm pressured enough by work, so why not add some more?"

"My name is..."

"Barney?"

"Still the same underneath that serious personality, Casey?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"My name is Scott Hawthorne, and I fell in love with you when I was 20."

"..."

"Hello? Casey? ... Soul mate?"

"I... I thought you moved on."

"I tried to. Though it truly was an accident that I called you the other day. I meant to call someone else, but I guess I never realized I still had your number, and called you on accident."

"This is quite a lot for me to process."

"Oh, Casey. You've changed so much."

"I have, haven't I? I'm not the same playful child I was 4 years ago, Scott."

"Yeah, I've noticed. I still think about you everyday, Casey. And it's been 4 years, 6 months, and 2 days. I've been counting."

"Oh, Scott. You're the obsessed one now, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I guess I am. Now you're the serious, boring one in this relationship. I think I loved the playful Casey, not the serious, stressed Casey."

"But Scott, we can't just go back to being the same people we once were. I have priorities; responsibilities."

"We can, I just know it. You made me the man I am today, and I should return the favor, even if it was on accident."

"But can we love each other once again, Scott? After we've finally moved on? Is that a possibility?"

"Who said we had to love each other? I just want the old Casey back, even if we are only supposed to remain friends. Just friends."

"..."

"Casey?"

"Okay. Operation Bring Back Casey is now in action."

"And Casey?"

*sigh* "Yes Scott?"

"I'm glad I called you, even if it was on accident."

"... Yeah, me too Scott."

"Well, I guess I'll get going, I have a job too. It was nice talking to you, Casey." *hangs up*

"Yeah, it was nice talking to you too, soul mate." *small grin*
