Spark: HIMYM✓

0.14

Rosalie felt sorry for Lily, she felt bad that her best friend was going through an identity crisis and though she advised Lily to just back to teaching Kindergarten, Lily wasn't interested. She tried being a life coach, which didn't work. She tried marine biology, slam poet, and being a beekeeper which ended so badly and lots of welts all over her body from the bees stinging her. Her current dream was singing in a punk rock band, which Rosalie thought was insane. But all while chasing her "dreams" she was working as a waitress at this terrible place called Big Wave Luau and that was where she was now, sitting next to Barney and their other friends.

"Here she comes." Marshall said, they had told the hostess to sit them in her section and though Rosalie wasn't a fan of embarrassing her friend she found her outfit hilarious.

"Welcome to Big Wave Luau. Can I tiki your drink order?" she looked at them, "aw, crap."

"I'm sorry." Robin said.

"Oh, hi, Lily. We were just in the neighborhood, thought we'd get some lunch. We didn't even know you'd be here." Barney said as Marshall took a picture of her.

"What do you want?"

"I don't think that's how you're supposed to greet a customer at Big Wave Luau." Ted told her.

"Aloha, island vistors. The big wave brought you to our humble luau. For that, we thank you. Or in my native tongue, mahalo."

"I didn't catch your name. Did you guys catch her name?" Barney teased.

"No."

"My name is Anuhea. It means cool and fragrant, much like any of our twelve specialty drinks."

"Robin, Rose, nothing to add?" Rosalie just shook her head.

"No, Lily is my friend and I'm not going to make fun of her for trying to follow her dreams." Robin told her.

"Thank you."

"Although, you might want to bring out the big Hawaiian drum because I'm pretty sure today's my birthday." Robin said which caused Rosalie to laugh. The food there wasn't terrible, but nothing special but she left Lily a nice tip, feeling sorry that she had to work at this place.

When she walked into MacLaren's with her friends she was in need of a drink. She needed a bourbon and immediately went to the bar. Marshall had been complaining about his last semester of law school on the way over and Rosalie just needed to stop hearing his voice for the two minutes it took Carl to make her drink. When she went back over to the table and sat next to Barney.

"Really? Laid, you say?" Barney asked.

"You wouldn't be into her. She's, like, in her late forties. Besides you have Rose."

"I know someone I could hook her up with." Barney said, "she hot?"

"Yeah, I guess she's kind of hot, yeah."

"And she's looking for some action. Sounds to me like she could be a cougar."

"A what?" Robin asked.

"A cougar. An older woman, usually in her forties or fifties, signle and on the prowl for a younger man."

"What's a woman in her sixties and seventies? A turtle?" Ted asked.

"Marshall, I've thought it over and I accept your challenge. I'll text my friend right now."

"I didn't challenge you to get someone to have sex with..."

"Tomorrow, I send him on the cougar hunt." Lily came over to their table and sat down.

"So, I quit my job. I just couldn't take it anymore. Approximately fifty times a day, some guy asks me for a lei."
