Here is the long awaited chapter 2! Thanks so much for all the kind reviews! Keep them coming! I don't own any part of HIMYM, except eight seasons of DVDs and a yellow umbrella. HIMYM belongs to CBS and Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
Standing on the Mosby's front porch was Barney, Robin, and Ellie, who was holding a massive wrapped present.
"What have you got there?" Lily asked.
"It's Penny's birthday gift!" Ellie exclaims.
"I was in Paris for her birthday, but there was no way I was going to miss seeing Penny open this," Robin says.
"It is the most legend- wait-for-it -dary gift ever!" Barney says.
"What did you get my daughter?" Ted asks.
Tracy ushered everyone into the living room and called the kids downstairs.
"Is that for me?" Rose asks excitedly.
"No, it's for Penny!" Ellie squeals.
"No way," Penny says. "What is it?"
"Why don't you open it and find out?" Barney asked.
Penny gave her Aunt Robin and Uncle Barney a puzzled look before kneeling down in front of the box and ripping off the purple wrapping paper and exposing a card board box. Marshall took out his keys and used them to slice open the tape. Penny reached into the box excitedly and pulled out a gift bag with 'Happy 16th Birthday!' printed on the side.
She tossed the tissue paper to her mother, only to find another wrapped box in the bag. She unwrapped the box, opened it up and pulled out a blue velvet drawstring pouch. She untied the strings and pulled out a key.
A car key.
"Oh my goodness! You got me a car!" Penny screams. She throws her arms around Robin and Barney and yells, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You got my sixteen year old a car?!" Ted fumed.
"She's my goddaughter," Barney says with a shrug. "Plus, look how happy she is!"
Tracy was able to calm down her husband as the rest of the group went outside to see Penny's new car. The car was used, but it was new to her. As the kids ooed and ahhed at the car, the adults watched from the top of the driveway.
"You didn't have to do this, you know," Tracy told Barney and Robin.
"Of course not," Robin says. "But we're family. And family goes all out."
Robin was right. They weren't friends; they were family. They were together for all the moments, big and small. And they would be family forever.
And that's that. Thanks for reading!
