Chapter 1: Concert Tickets?
It was a slow day for the two best friends. The summer was ending and fall was making it's way quick and this meant, all the leaves were falling off the trees. Who would clean all the leaves in the park? Of course, Mordecai and Rigby! The two were raking leaves in the park until they were interrupted by Benson's cart pulling up to them.
"Hey, you guys have a 15minute break." said the gumball machine
" Aw…only 15 minutes! C'mon! We need a longe-" complained the raccoon before he was hit in the arm by Mordecai
"Um thanks Benson! We'll head to the coffee shop now." said the blue jay
"Okay you slackers if I don't see you here in 13 minutes YOURE FIRED!" said the red and furious Benson.
The manager drove off in his cart and the two "slackers" gazed at each other with mystery.
"Dude, lets go before we get fired!" said the Blue jay
"Yeah….Lets go get some coffee, I'm thirsty" replied the tired raccoon
"Yeah I cant wait to see Margaret….I mean get some coffee!" Snapped the bird
"What did I just hear?" Asked the raccoon.
"Um nothing!" exclaimed Mordecai
As the two walked down the street they saw the red bird serve tables through the window and the little mole clean the tables in the back. Mordecai kept staring and gazing at Margaret. He never realized how graceful she was when she walked and how her lips moved as she talked. He was about to meet her eyes until he heard a big bang on the window from the inside. He looked down to see Rigby mouthing the words "Get In Here! Hurry up!" then he walked through the door and sat at their usual table.
"Hey dude I saw how you were looking at her!" said the raccoon
"Dude, shut up! I was looking at a crack in the window…they need to fix that!" replied the bird
"Were you looking at the crack in the window or looking for Margaret's?" said the brown mammal before he was punched in the arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" cried the raccoon
"Shut up! She's coming!" said the excited bird
In less than ten feet away Margaret was approaching with two cups of coffee and a pastry. Mordecai focused on her eyes until he was snapped out of his trance by his friend. She was closer and Mordecai could feel himself get a bit warm. She came up to the table, put the drinks down and gave a little smile.
"Hey Mordecai, Hey Rigby!" said the robin
"Hey Margaret." said a casual Rigby
"Oh, um uh hey Margaret!" said the nervous blue jay.
"Whatcha guys up to today?" asked Margaret.
"You know, the normal….work." The two friends said in sync
"Oh that's cool, Hey! Are you guys going to the Brain Explosion & Fist Pump concert tomorrow night?" asked the red bird
"They're playing here?" asked the raccoon
"Yeah! It's going to be epic! Eileen and I are going and we have two extra tickets. My boyfriend dumped me this morning and Eileen's date was my boyfriend's brother."
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that Margaret." said the blue jay.
"It's okay Mordecai, he was a total jerk." replied the red robin.
"So you have two extra tickets?" said Rigby getting them back on topic.
"Oh yeah! I want to know if you guys would like to go to the concert with us!" exclaimed the waitress
"Of course I want to go with you! I mean of course we want to go with you guys!" said the over excited blue jay. Rigby looked at him and rolled his eyes at his mistake. Just as Rigby was taking a sip of his coffee Eileen walked up with a barbeque sandwich for Rigby and said "Hey! So you're going with us to the concert?" Rigby was doing the silent treatment.
"Awesome! I cant wait! Um, I made you a sandwich. Enjoy?" said the little mole walking away.
Margaret looked at Rigby and shook her head. She couldn't believe how much of a jerk he was to Eileen.
"Hey Mordecai what time is it?" asked the bored raccoon.
"Ugh! Dude there's a clock right there!" said the blue bird
"I know but I'm too lazy to read it! You know I cant read those clocks well!" retorted the brown fuzz leaning against the table.
"It's 12:05 dude…Oh crap! What time was it when we walked in here?" asked the bird
"I don't know." replied a bored Rigby.
"Well it was 11:43 when you guys walked in here." said the tall red waitress
"Crap! We have to go Margaret! We'll see you tomorrow!" said the Mordecai running towards the door with Rigby was right behind him.
"Bye Mordecai!" screamed Margaret
As they were running towards the park they kept thinking how much of idiots they were by not keeping time. Deep inside Mordecai was blaming himself for it all. He knew he couldn't trust Rigby keeping time but he couldn't help it. He couldn't help the fact that he was actually acting cool talking to Margaret.
