It was Alexander's first day working at McClarin's and he was freaking out. He was going to be a waiter there.

He wasn't exactly working there because he needed money, he was actually quite wealthy since his family was. He just thought it would be a good way to find new people.

He walked into the bar and went straight into the back to clock in. He put on his black apron and was somehow immediately put to work.

He got a notepad he began waiting tables. The first one he went to had three men and two women.

"Hello, how may I help y'all today?" He asked politely.

"I'll have bourbon with a side of you." The redhead said.

"Lily!" One of brunette males yelled at her, and she bowed her head shamefully.

"Well aren't you flirty, so drinks?" He smiled. After he got all his answers he began to walk away until Lily's voice stopped him so he turned around.

"Wait! I just wanted to ask you, if u you know came up to you in like a club or something would I have any chance of going home with you?" She asked.

"Seriously!" Marshall scolded her once again.

"I just wanna know. So is that a yes, no, maybe?" She asked him again.

"Ummm probably not. Listen you're a really nice girl, you're just...not for me." He tried to explain.

"Why? The fact that I'm nice?" She asked.

"No the fact that you're a girl."

Lily gasped louder than anyone ever had making a few people glance at her.

"This is this the greatest day of my life. I've always wanted a gay guy in the gang." She cheered.

"And I've always wanted a gang." He replied his pearly white teeth showing.

"Well congrats buddy you're in!" Barney told him.

"Barney, why are you so happy about it?" Robin asked him.

"So I can finally have a wingman who I can guarantee will never steal the girl." Barney said.

"I've never stolen a girl." Marshall said.

"I know you're just a really bad wingman." Barney said.

"Thanks." Marshall smiled sarcastically.

"Well anyways, thank you for allowing me to be in your gang. I'll just go get your order and you know what? Drinks on me." He walked away to get their stuff before they could protest.

The adults just shrugged and continued on with their meaningless conversation.

They didn't even notice how Ted sat there quietly in awe, while looking at the fellow male's retreating figure.
