A WeekWithout Becca Luna
Pops had woken up to the sound of birds singing and the light of the sunshine peeking through the blinds, making him squint his eyes the moment he opened them. Sitting up and stretching, Pops got up from bed and walked to the window. He pulled up the shade and was introduced to a beautiful, sunny, warm morning. Pops cheerfully got dressed and went downstairs.
As he was eating his cereal he thought of the fun things he would do that day, especially with Becca. After a moment, he felt that something was missing. It is usually quiet in the mornings but not too quiet...
"Good morning gentlemen, have you seen Becca?" Pops asked Mordecai and Rigby as they walked in the kitchen.
"Uh... no. I haven't seen her since yesterday," Rigby said.
"Didn't she go on vacation?" Mordecai asked.
"Ohhh, yeah that's right. Becca started her vacation. She left last night," Rigby remembered.
"She left without saying good bye to me?" Pops said sadly.
"You were asleep, she didn't wanna bother you," Mordecai explained. He and Rigby noticed Pops' cheerfullness went away.
"Don't worry, She only left for a week. She'll be back soon. Lets do things to get your mind off of her for a while," Rigby offered.
"Well... okay. I'll try," Pops said confidently as he forced a small smile.
As the day passed, the trio were doing things together like getting wet in the sprinklers, challenging each other to who makes the best brain freeze faces, going to the museum and much more. At the end, they all lay on the ground back at the park under the tree's shade. Even though Pops had a great time with Mordecai and Rigby, he still felt that void in his heart. Then Becca came to mind again.
Pops sighed and sat up. He placed his hands on his face as if he had a headache. "Hey are you okay?" Rigby asked.
"Yes... I'm fine. I just need some rest," Pops forced a small smile as he got up and made his way to his room.
When Pops got to his room, he lyed on his bed and thought how much he missed Becca that he cried himself to sleep.
