Hello! This is the first time I've ever published one of my fanfics, so I'm a little embarrassed heh heh! ^/^ Anyway, Just so you know, I'm making the characters in this story human. I don't know, I just prefer them as people rather than animals in this case. Enjoy! ^_^
Just a Little Push
Chapter 1: 'Man Juice', and the Proposition
"Come on man just drink it!" Yelled Rigby to Mordecai from the kitchen as he tried to force Mordecai into drinking a substance that was almost unidentifiable due to how many different things Rigby mixed together. Mordecai looked at the strange substance and took a whiff of its scent and nearly gagged from the fumes. "No way dude, this is gonna kill me!"
"Oh, quit being such a crybaby, I've made you drink things that are ten times worse than this!" Said Rigby.
"No, I don't think you have dude." Said Mordecai as he placed the beverage on the table and pushed it away from him.
"Pff! Wimp. If you were a real man you'd drink it! In fact I think I know what I'll call it, "Rigby's Man Juice; you're not a real man till you drink it!" Said Rigby.
"Ugh, that sounds so lame!" Protested Mordecai.
"What's lame is you not drinking my Man Juice! NOW HURRY UP AND CHUG!"
"No way! If it's so manly, drink it yourself!" Exclaimed Mordecai.
Rigby clenched his fists, frustrated by how stubborn Mordecai was being but then relaxed himself. "Whatever, I knew you couldn't do it." Said Rigby as he out the concoction in the refrigerator. "Sorry man." Said Mordecai sounding guilty but really feeling relief.
A few hours after the incident with Rigby's Man Juice, the two friends slacked off until it was break time. "I'm gonna get some coffee, you coming?" Said Mordecai, who was about to head out the door. "Nah man, I'm sick of watching you fail at flirting with Margaret." Said Rigby who was focusing more on a video game he was playing. "Whatever man." Said Mordecai as he headed out the door.
"Hey Mordecai." Greeted Margaret with the cheerful smile she usually had on. Mordecai greeted her back nervously like way he always did and made his way to the seat he and Rigby usually sat at. "Let me guess, coffee?" Joked Margaret. "You know me too well." Said Mordecai, trying to act cool.
After a minute or less, Margaret came out with a cup of coffee and gave it to Mordecai. "So what's new?" Asked Margaret.
"Well, this morning Rigby tried to get me to drink some toxic waste he made for breakfast. He called it 'Rigby's Man Juice'."
Margaret laughs, "Seriously? Well, I'm really not surprised actually. So did you drink it?"
"Nah, I'd prefer not puking out my guts any day." Said Mordecai.
"Aw, I was hoping you would!" Said Margaret, sounding slightly disappointed.
" Oh, sorry. Maybe I could try again later." Said Mordecai as he blushed slightly from embarrassment.
Just then, Eileen walked into the coffee shop since it time for her shift. "Hey guys." Waved Eileen with a nonchalant grin. "Hey Eileen." They both said back. Just as Eileen went into the kitchen, Margaret jumped up from the seat she was sitting in.
"MORDECAI!" Exclaimed Margaret, which startled Mordecai.
"W-what is it Margaret?"
"I just came up with the greatest, and possibly the funniest thing I can think of!"
"What?" asked Mordecai?
Margaret looked around to see if Eileen was still around.
"Do you think it would be funny if Eileen and Rigby went out on a date together?" asked Margaret, looking slightly shady.
Mordecai contemplated for a moment and then realized just funny it really would be.
"Yeah, that would be pretty hilarious." Agreed Mordecai.
"Would you be willing to drink Rigby's juice just to see the look on Rigby's face when he finds out that he has to go out with Eileen?"
"I don't know…" Said Mordecai, dubiously.
"Okay, you know how Eileen has feelings for Rigby right? Well what if you and Rigby were to bet that if you don't drink the whole cup of 'Man Juice', you would have to pay Rigby $20, and if you do drink it all, he would have to go on a date with Eileen?"
Mordecai was really surprised of how mischievous Margaret could be, but it turned him on somehow, and blinded by his love for Margaret, decided to accept her proposal. "Okay, I'll do it." Said Mordecai as he shook hand with Margaret and nearly shuttered at the fact that he was holding her hand. "Great! The next time you see Rigby, place the bet." And so it was settled.
