Authors Note: Alright, I'm not sure how well this is going to work out, for a few reasons. 1. This is my first story for this site. 2. This is my first crossover. 3. I'm crossing a lot of things here.
So, please excuse me if it's sloppy or not well molded together. And, please review and tell me if it is.
I do not own Bones, How I Met Your Mother, House, M.D., Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog, or Psych. Trust me, I wish I did.
"I'm telling you Gus. This is one of the greatest cities in the world," Shawn Spencer said dramatically, sweeping his arm to indicate all of New York City.
"Yeah, except for the fact that Juliet isn't here," Gus corrected him.
Shawn sighed. "Yeah. Except for that."
"But, I am really glad that we finally get to go on vacation. No more murders and creepy suspects to deal with," Gus said.
Barney stuck his head out the door and looked around. Good, the alley was empty. He strode over to the Dumpster and picked up one of the TV's. He smashed it against the ground and took satisfaction in hearing the crunch of the plastic and the shattering of the glass.
God, why couldn't Robin just stay away from other guys until he was ready to take her back? He realized what he'd just thought and shook his head.
The door opened and Barney quickly pressed himself against the wall behind the Dumpster. He really didn't want anyone to see him out here, especially by the remains of the TV.
"Barney?" came the softly called question.
He peeled himself off of the wall just enough to see who it was. It was Lily. After a quick debate he decided he could trust her, she didn't know that he was still in love with Robin and he would like to share it with her. After all, she had helped a little last time he'd pursued Robin.
"Yeah?" he asked. He came out into the open, straightening his tie and smoothing his hair down a little.
"What are you doing?" Lily asked, surveying the destroyed TV in front of her.
"Letting off some steam," Barney answered.
Lily looked at him in amazement. "Is it because Robin's dating that Steve guy? Oh, Barney it's not going to last long, I can tell by looking at her," Lily said comfortingly, rubbing Barney's shoulder.
Barney turned to her, "Really?"
Before Lily could answer, the door opened again. Barney scrambled behind the Dumpster, crouching down, in spite of a look of exasperation from Lily. It was Ted.
"Lily? What are you doing out here?"
"I'm helping Barney come to terms with his feelings," she answered.
Ted looked around. "Where is he?" Lily gestured to the Dumpster. He nodded.
Suddenly, there came a loud yell. From behind the Dumpster.
Barney jumped out from behind the Dumpster and scrambled away as fast as he could.
"What's wrong?" Ted asked, looking from the Dumpster to Barney in alarm.
"Ske-ske-skeleton," Barney stuttered, wide-eyed, still backing away a little.
"Whatever Barney, you're full of crap," Lily said. But she'd never seen him freaked out like this, she backed up a little too. She decided not to see if he was telling the truth or not. Ted was wary too, his friend could lie really well, but taking the fact that he already had his phone out and was calling the police, he guessed that this was real.
"Yeah, uh, Barney Stinson. In the alley behind McLaren's bar. I found a skeleton behind the Dumpster. What do you mean what was I doing behind the Dumpster in an alley behind a bar? Aren't you more interested that I found a skeleton? Well you should be. Just, come over, I can explain it when you get here."
Shawn heard the sirens and saw the lights. There were three cop cars speeding down the street in the same direction. He looked on, very interested. He was even considering following them until Gus grabbed him by the arm.
"No way man. We are not going to get tangled up in something like this, not while we're on vacation," Gus said.
Shawn shook him off. "Maybe you aren't, but I am. My psychic senses are drawing me to the scene of a crime. A crime that may need my gifts." Shawn put his fingers on his temples.
Gus batted his hand down. "Knock it off Shawn."
"We're still going to go check this out," Shawn was already walking down the street, following the trail of police cars, that was still going by. That made five already.
Gus knew there was no arguing. "Fine," and he followed.
Police cars showed up almost immediately. And, of course, half of the cops went to drag the Dumpster aside to reveal the skeleton. The other half began to bombard Barney, Ted, and Lily with questions.
As soon as the police showed up Robin and Marshall came outside to see their friends surrounded by police officers. They rushed over to see what was going on. The bartender and several of the patrons showed up at the doorframe too. A few of the police officers herded them back inside, assuring them that everything was going fine.
When they tried to get Marshall and Robin inside though, they were met with protests and claims that it was the man's wife and his two friends there. The woman claimed that it was her roommate and her two friends. So, the police let them stay.
Robin went over to Lily. "What the hell happened?"
Lily was shaking a little bit. "Well, Barney found that skeleton behind the Dumpster," she said, pointing to the Dumpster.
Robin turned to Barney, confused. "What were you doing behind the Dumpster out here?"
"That's exactly what we were wondering," a police officer said, walking up.
"Is that the only thing that people care about? Not the fact that there's a full, human, skeleton over there but the fact that I was behind the Dumpster?"
"Yes," the police officer said.
"I was blowing off some steam," he said, gesturing to the TV on the ground.
Everyone except for Lily gave him a weird look.
One of the police officers standing by the body looked over. "Uh, chief? We might need to call D.C. None of our guys can tell what happened here, or how to get this skeleton out of here."
Barney, Ted, Marshall, Lily, and Robin were confused. Why did they have to bring in the Feds?
"Alright, put a call in to the Jeffersonian. Brennan isn't it?"
"Yes sir."
"Come on Bones. We have a case up in New York. Remains found behind a Dumpster in the city," Booth said, looking into Brennan's office.
"Shouldn't that be the job of the NYPD?" she asked, reluctant to leave the pictures of a specimen that had been sent to her that she was examining.
"They need you. None of their guys are good enough. Besides, the remains are actually complete," Booth added, knowing that would draw her attention.
He was right, she looked up again and seemed more interested.
"Alright, let's go," she said, grabbing a jacket on her way out.
Booth pumped his fist and followed her out.
Authors Note: There will be more soon. I promise. And we'll get into how House and Dr. Horrible come in.
