How I Met Everyone Else How I Met Your Mother

INT. MACLAREN'S

(subtitled, 'the year 2007,' Robin, Ted, Barney, Lily and Marshall sit at booth, Ted waves at girl entering bar who waves back and walks over to him)

Future Ted VO: Kids, back in the fall of 2007, I was dating this girl named...oh God, what was her name? It's been 23 years, I can't remember all this stuff. For the sake of the story, let's call her...

Ted: Everyone, this is Blah-blah.

Blah-blah: Please call me Blah.

Marshall: So, Blah, how did you two meet?

Blah-blah: Well, I was taking this cooking class, French fusion, and everyone already had a partner but then I looked up, and across a crowded room, I saw Ted. It was magical.

Ted: It was so magical.

(Ted and Blah-blah kiss)

Future Ted VO: Except it wasn't.

(flashback to 'one hour earlier,' Barney, Robin, Ted, Marshall and Lily enter MacLaren's)

Ted: She's gonna tell some bogus story about a cooking class because she's embarrassed we met online.

Marshall: Ay, Chihuahua.
