Luckily, by 5:55, Brooke had finally settled the Black or Red debate. Red was always her color. But it was flashy, and she didn't want Barney to think she was trying too hard. And even more importantly, how could she not wear the gold necklace he had given her? And that looked fantastic with the short, black dress and gold heels she had on now.

She'd just finished airing herself with a touch of perfume when he knocked. And because she was completely and utterly not nervous at all, Brooke took one last look in the mirror and took a deep breath. Even though she wasn't nervous. Right.

Swinging open the door, she greeted him with an appreciative smile. "And here I thought you'd be late." He'd ditched the jacket and tie. Clearly, our boy had a few surprises in him.

Barney gave her a smile, she looked amazing in her short black dress. The necklace shining from around her neck, the ensemble went perfect together. He realized after a few seconds that he was still staring at her, he cleared his throat.

"Me late? That rarely happens." He held up his hand, twirled it, making a flower appear, and offered her a pink daisy, those magic lessons were worth something after all. Even if it was cheesy, not everyone could do that. "Beautiful flower for a beautiful woman."

It was the deft twirl of his fingers accompanied by the sudden appearance of the daisy that caught her off guard, and she found herself tentatively taking it from his hands, fingering the stem and taking in its aroma.

"Okay, I'll give you points for that," she said with a smile, still clutching the daisy. "No quarter behind the ear, though."

"Please," He said making a face. "That is a parlor trick. This is real magic."

He smiled once more before offering her his arm, "You ready for the night of your life? I guarantee it will be in the Top Five if not number one."
