Chapter 1: Complexity.

Mordecai got up, stretching his arms. Nearby, Rigby groaned and got up.

"dude, today`s the day Benson introduces the new worker." Said Mordecai.

"Yeah, so?"

"let`s go down to the coffee shop so we can miss that lame name game Benson makes us do."

Whenever a new worker would come, Benson had always made them do a game where everyone gathered to say their name, and their favorite thing.

"Huh? But I like the name game! How will we get to know the new workers if we don`t play?"

"Suit yourself. I`m going to the coffee shop."

And Mordecai did. Meanwhile, Rigby went downstairs and there sat Benson at the table, eating cereal.

"Hey dude, where's the new worker?"

"He doesn't get here until 8:30. Why?"

"I wanted to play the name game"

And Rigby ran off to catch up with Mordecai.

"See? At least someone wants to play the name game!"Said Benson, hollering to no one in particular.

Later, Rigby arrived in the coffee shop, panting.

"He arrives at 8:30!"He blurted.

Mordecai gestured to the clock.

"it`s 8:00!"

"Relax, dude. We`ll take the golf cart. About five minutes to get home. You could stay a while."

"But you`ll want to stay here."

"I'll walk."

Rigby sat down, suspicious.

"So, Margret was telling me about a new person at the coffee shop and-

Rigby tuned Mordecai`s voice out when he saw Felicia. She was a silver arctic fox. He thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Eileen noticed and silently freaked out. She went to Margret.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"What?"

"Rigby is staring down Felicia!"

"Well, you can`t expect him to see other women, you`ve only asked him out once, so he doesn`t even know you like him, and if you really want to know for sure, you should send her over to take their order."

"Thanks. Felicia!"

"Huh?"

"Table!"

Felicia walked over to the table

"what`s your name?" she said.

"Mordecai. And this is Rigby."

Mordecai pointed to Rigby, who was completely zoned out.

"And your number?" asked Felicia.

"Huh?"

"Just kidding! But seriously, do you want to go out?"

"Sure."

Mordecai couldn`t believe what he had just said, but she was so… persuasive. He promised himself his heart would belong to Margret, and then he noticed the clock.

"dude, it`s 8:25"

"Oh! We`ve got to go!" said Rigby.

And he bolted, dragging Mordecai with him.

After they got home it was 8:35, and they had missed the name game.

"Ahh! I knew it took more than five minutes!" stated Rigby.

"Good, Mordecai, Rigby, your here." Said Benson, seeming more relaxed than usual.

They sat down in one of the rows of chairs, behind the new worker, a red fox. Benson stood behind his desk and gave a speech.

"Over the years, work productivity has been down, and a certain study has come to my attention. I`ll make it short. I am going to pair you with a different partner each week, and I and going to see how you work with that person. I have chosen partners randomly. Muscle man, you`re with hi-five."

Muscle man ran up and hi-fived hi-five.

"You know who else is with hi-five? My mom!"

"Rigby, you`re with skips"

Skips shook Rigby's hand, but because he was taller, Rigby was lifted into the air.

"Tom, you`re with Mordecai."

Since tom didn`t know who Mordecai was, he stood up, and looked around. Mordecai stood up and approached tom, and neither of them knew weather to fist bump, shake hands, or hi-five, so they did some sort of deformed rock, paper, scissors match. It was pitiful and awkward.

"And, pops, you`re with me"

"Oh, goodie!"

"and since it`s Saturday, you can spend the day off getting to know your new partner."

Mordecai and tom went to the coffee shop. Tom was drooling over Felicia just as Rigby had done earlier that day. Oh, no, Mordecai thought. Rigby and tom had an obvious crush on the girl that asked him on a date. He hoped he could keep a secret. Eileen approached them and snapped tom out of his trance.

"So, Mordecai, I heard Felicia asked you to the dance."

"What dance?"

"The dance. The huge one hosted on Sunday. It`s the biggest dating opportunity ever. Anyway, I just came here to tell tom that Margret asked him to the dance. Bye!"

Mordecai didn`t know what to be more upset over. The fact that he could`ve invited Margret or that Margret could`ve invited him. Why did he say yes? Tom, however, was on cloud nine. He got Margret and Felicia mixed up. If he found out the truth, that his coworker got the girl of his dreams, he would be devastated. If only they could trade dates, and Tod wouldn`t know, Rigby would be jealous of Tod instead, and he would have a date with Margret, but dating doesn't work that way, right? He pushed the thought away and proceeded home.

Rigby`s day was really boring, even though Skips knew everything, he had nothing to talk about, so he just played video games. He invited Skips to play, but he really wasn`t that fun because Rigby had to teach him to play, so Rigby watched T.V. Surprisingly, Skips watched T.V. too, but only to appear friendly. He had no interest in whatever T.V. was on. It might have been more awkward than the rock, paper, scissors match.

The next day, (Sunday) Mordecai was all ready for the date. He "barrowed" the tuxedo he used for the picture on the ad for the park, rented a really cool car, and brought Rigby just in case. Later, when they got there, they chose a spot in the parking lot. Walking in, they found a HUGE palace-like ballroom with music playing and people dancing.

"Gross! Why are we here, anyway?" Rigby exclaimed.

"You have a date."

"With that girl?"

"No, with me, silly." Eileen came and whisked him out onto the dance floor.

Mordecai sat down with his date, Felicia. He noticed Margret was crying at an adjacent table.

"Wanna dance?" Felicia asked.

"I thought we were eating."

"Nope, this is just were you wait were you wait when your date didn`t come yet."

Mordecai thought about tom. Why would he leave Margret? But he thought it was Felicia. Maybe he found out that he got the names switched. Then the music stopped and said "kiss!" then everyone kissed their date. Mordecai kissed Felicia, for a long time, even after the music resumed, and then Felicia stopped, and ran outside in the pouring rain.

"Wait!"

Mordecai shouted, but to no avail. He thought about why she ran away. Did she sense that he didn`t really love her? Was that possible? He went back inside and sat at the waiting table. Margret sat next to him. And they held hands and walked home. Margret went to her apartment. Mordecai went home to find terrible news.

While they were gone, Benson checked the silverware cabinet to find that all the spoons, forks, and knives were all gone. Then something wet dripped on his shoulder. He looked up at the ceiling.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
