Ok, this is the same chapter except I edited a few things. I noticed a lot of mistakes in my writing (Too many elispes, commas, semicollins, etc.) and I want to make sure it looks right. Also, I might have to tone down a little bit of the comforting between the characters. Someone told me that men don't comfort each other like that in real life and I don't want anyone confusing this for a yaoi fanfiction or anything like that. But, that doesn't mean I'll take out everything; I was just showing that anyone, even men, can be comforted differently. If you like it the way it is, that's fine with me. Also, sorry if I confused you all before with this first chapter. I hate to disappoint all you Mordeson fans, but this is not that kind of chapter. Its just that Benson considers his park workers like family and Mordecai, to him, is like a son, brother, or whatever. Anyway that's all I want to say, so enjoy!
J.G. Quintal owns these characters. Not me.
NOTE: This is not a yaoi. I'll post this every now and then, depending on the characters.
Chapter 1: Movie (Mordecai)
Mordecai was at Movie Shack Hut looking for a movie to watch later.
"Hmmm. What should I get this time?" he said to himself.
He searched all through the comedy, action, and horror sections but nothing sounded good. Mordecai checked them all twice and still nothing. He didn't even want to mess with the movies he already saw.
"Jeez, is there nothing to rent in this place?!" he thought in frustration.
He went to the romance section and looked until something caught his eye. It was light blue movie labeled, "A Very Happy Bride." Mordecai thought it would be a cheesy chick flick and decided to rent it for laughs.
He went up to the counter and Dave, the video store employee, was standing there.
"Mordo! And what can I do for you today, my friend?" he asked with a smile.
"I'd like to rent this movie, please." Mordecai answered.
He placed the movie on the counter and Dave examined the tape before looking back at Mordecai.
"A Very Happy Bride?" he puzzled at Mordecai, "You sure you want to rent this, amigo? It's pretty sad and I gurantee that you'll cry a river before the ending comes."
Mordecai just scoffed at that, "Yeah right! If there's to be any tears falling, it'll be from laughing my butt off at this cheesy movie." He got his membership card out and handed it to Dave, "What can happen?"
"Ok." Dave says with a shrug, "But, don't say I didn't warn you."
After finishing up at the video store, Mordecai went back to the house to watch his movie. He took the tape out of the box, puts it in the VCR. He sat back down on the couch and pressed "Play".
"Pffft. Cry me a river. Yeah right." he muttered, "I bet he was saying that just to mess with me. There's no way this movie will make me cry."
About nearly two hours of watching, Mordecai was clutching his pillow and holding on, as if for dear life. His beak trembled as his eyes started to water. The movie was nearing the end when the tears started rolling down.
"Dude! Why is it that weddings make people cry?!" he sobbed, "Why place the word "Happy" in the title if there's gonna be so much drama?!"
Mordecai buried his face into the pillow and cried his eyes out. He laid down on the couch as the credits started to roll. He wept for a good ten minutes when Benson entered the house.
"Hey Mordecai! Can you do me a favor and-" he stopped himself when he saw the blue jay trembling and sobbing on the couch. Benson walked over and placed a gentle hand on Mordecai's shoulder. Mordecai practically jumped before turning his head and looking up at his boss.
"Mordecai, are you ok?" Benson asked while taking back his hand, "What's the matter?"
"The m-movie. So cheesy - yet so sad. It had a tearjerking happy ending!" he shoved his face back into the pillow and cried some more.
Benson was both sympathetic and confused at the same time. He chuckled softly as he went into the kitchen and brought back a box of tissues. Mordecai barely lifted his head back up, but was a little surprised at his usually hot-tempered boss.
"Benson? W-What-"
"It's kind of silly to cry over a stupid movie like this. However, you're not the first to do so. Trust me." he said as he handed a tissue to his friend.
Mordecai looked at Benson for a brief moment, sat up, and took the tissue from his hand. More tears spilled from his eyes as Benson sat down and placed an arm around his shoulders.
"It's okay, Mordecai. You're among friends here. It's alright to cry every now and then, especially from sad movies." Benson said as he smiled.
"Thanks Benson. I needed that." Mordecai said as blew his beak into the tissue.
"Anytime pal." he said as he patted Mordecai on the shoulder.
However, while Benson was comforting Mordecai, neither one of them realized that Rigby was watching the whole time! Earlier today, he heard sobbing come from the living room and went downstairs to investigate. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he stopped when he saw Mordecai crying on the couch. Rigby was about to go down there when Benson came in and cheered Mordecai up. As soon as the two left, Rigby rushed downstairs and saw the video cover.
"A Very Happy Bride? He was bawling over this? Hmmmm." he said with a smug on his face, "Now this is something I can use. Hm hm hm hm!"
And Rigby spent the rest of the afternoon in the bedroom, working on some kind of insulting rap for Mordecai.
