Well everyone, it's me, GiovanniGo again. And yes, I'm now starting a new story. This one is one that I thought up on my own and wasn't inspired by someone else's story. After watching some episodes of "Regular Show" online, and taking a recent weekend trip to "Universal Studios" in Orlando over the weekend, I got inspired to write this story. I don't think it'll be as long as "Perry the Platypus Goes to Walt Disney World: A Magical Musical", but I'm sure it'll still be just as good. Well, let's begin chapter 1 of this story. I hope you all like it...
Birthdays are a big celebration for adults, teens, and children. People either have birthday parties, go out for meals, or even go on vacations to celebrate that one big day of their lives. This group of people I'm going to tell you about all event on a vacation for a birthday. It all began as a normal, sunny Thursday in Los Angeles, California. In a local park, Mordecai and Rigby where going through with their usual tasks. One of those usual task was picking up trash off the ground...
"Man, this place is so dirty." complained Mordecai, as he threw an empty soda can into his trash bag, "Why don't the parkgoers ever clean up after themselves?"
"I know, right?" complained Rigby, "And once again, Benson assigned us to clean it all up."
"Yeah, this whole week has been rough, dude." said Mordecai, "First I got sick with a cold on Monday, then Margret got sick on Tuesday right before our trip to the movies, on Wednesday, a thunderstorm knocked the power out..."
"And let's not forget about the red ant incident during lunch break today." said Rigby, "That was not a pleasant lunch break."
"Yeah, I know. But hey, at least one good thing is happening this week." said Rigby, "My birthday is coming up!"
"Oh yeah, dude!" said Mordecai, "It's going to be fun!"
"OOOOOOHHHHHHH!" shouted Rigby and Mordecai together at the same time, giving each over a fist-bump.
At that point, neither of them noticed their boss, Benson, was standing right behind them, folding his arms...
"What are you guys doing?!" asked Benson, "I asked you both to pick up the trash, not chitchat!"
"Benson, we are picking up the trash." explained Mordecai, "We were just talking while we were doing so."
"And what would you two be talking about?" asked Benson, not caring at all.
"The awesome fact that tomorrow is Rigby's birthday." said Mordecai, picking up another piece of trash.
"Wait...did you just say that tomorrow is Rigby's birthday?" asked Benson, "I thought it was last week."
"No, last week was Muscle Man's birthday." said Rigby, "Remember? We all went to Wing Kingdom for dinner."
"Oh, right..." said Benson, starting to sweat a little, "Just...uh...get back to work guys."
Benson quickly ran away from Mordecai and Rigby, getting into the golf cart and driving back towards the house. Once on route, Benson face-palmed himself...
"Oh, dang it!" said Benson, "I can't believe it. It's Rigby's birthday tomorrow! How on Earth could I forget? I mean, Rigby is not one of the BEST employees in the park, but I always get him SOMETHING for him as a birthday present. But since his birthday is tomorrow, I don't really have much time to get him anything."
At that point, Benson made it back to the house and parked out front. He walked back inside the house and entered the living room. Pops was sitting on the couch, wrapping up a gift...
"Oh, I just know that Rigby is going to love this coffee mug. I just know...oh, hi Benson." said Pops, as he noticed Benson enter the living room, "How's the weather outside? Nice and sunny, I believe?"
"Yes, it's sunny, but right now, I've got a problem." said Benson.
"Oh, you got a problem, huh?" asked Pops, concerned for Benson, "Is there anyway that I can help?"
"Nah, there's no need Pops." said Benson, "I'll just figure something out."
"What is the problem, anyways?" asked Pops, as he taped up the wrapping paper around the mug, "Did some messy teenagers mess up the park again?"
"Yes, but that's not the problem." said Benson, "The problem is that I just found out that Rigby's birthday is tomorrow, and I didn't get anything for a present for him. I forgot that tomorrow is his birthday until now. What am I going to do?"
"Well, I have no idea how I can help you fix this problem..." said Pops, as he taped a red bow on the wrapped up coffee mug, "But I'm sure you'll think of something. Now, if you'll excuse me, I got to go hide this gift in the closet."
And with that, Pops stood up from the sofa and exited the living room. Benson sighed and walked upstairs towards his office. As he did, he noticed Skips exit his room, carrying a big wrapped present...
"Hey Benson." said Skips, as he passed Benson, "Why the long face?"
"It's just a predicament that I'm in right now, Skips." said Benson, "You see, I completely forgot that tomorrow is Rigby's birthday. And now, I've got nothing to give him as a present."
"Well, that's not good." said Skips, as he placed the present down on the floor in front of him, "Rigby will be upset if you don't get him anything. You always manage to get him something. Remember that coupon you gave him for a free large Italian sub from Subway last year?"
"Yeah, I remember." said Benson, slightly cringing, "He ate the whole thing, and a few cake slices...and he got sick the next day."
"At least Robby enjoyed the food." said Skips, "Man, I hope you find a solution to your problem. Now, I go to go hide this gift from Rigby until tomorrow."
And with that, Skips picked up the present and walked downstairs. Benson sighed and made his way to his office. Once inside, he closed the door behind him, and sat down at his desk. He then went through multiple catalogs, hoping to find Rigby a gift that could be shipped overnight. But as it turned out, nothing could be shipped overnight...
"I can't believe that none of the stupid items can be shipped overnight!" said Benson, as he threw away all of his catalogs into the trashcan, "Rigby is going to be so upset if I don't get him anything."
Benson exited his office and walked downstairs again. But when he got to the bottom step, "WHAM!", Benson tripped over a tight strand of yarn that was set up at the bottom of the stairs. Muscle Man stepped out from the kitchen doorway to laugh, only to see that it was Benson, his boss. He was surely in deep trouble...
"Uh oh..." said Muscle Man, as Benson got up, "I'm fired for doing that, aren't I?"
"Well, if I wasn't so upset right now, you would be fired." said Benson, "Why did you do that for?"
"Well, it was SUPPOSED to prank Rigby before his birthday tomorrow." said Muscle Man, "But now, you blew it."
"Well, you're prank wouldn't have worked anyway, Muscle Man." said Benson, "Because Rigby is outside with Mordecai picking the trash."
"Well, excuse me!" said Muscle Man, as he untied the yarn strand, "How was I supposed to know that he was outside?!"
"Look Muscle Man, I have a lot on my mind right now." said "Tomorrow is Rigby's birthday and I forgot to get him something."
"Well, I don't know about you, but I got Rigby a very good present this year." said Muscle, "I got him a 50 dollar Wing Kingdom gift card. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to find someone else to prank. Hopefully, Tomas is available."
"Whatever..." said Benson, as Muscle Man exited the house, "You do that."
Benson then brushed some dust himself. He then entered the living room, sat down on the sofa, and picked up the TV remote...
"Well, maybe some TV might give me some inspiration..." said Benson, as he turned on the TV. What came on was very annoying...
(TV screen shows a pirate in a picture frame...)
Pirate: Are you ready kids?
Kids: Aye aye, captain!
Pirate: I can't hear you!
Kids: AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
Pirate (singing): Ooooooh...
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Kids (singing): Spongebob Squarepants!
"Oh no. Not this stupid kids show!" said Benson, as he changed the channel. Once he did, this was on...
(TV screen showed a scene from "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back"...)
Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father...
Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Darth Vader: No, I am your father.
Luke: No...no...it's not true! That's impossible!
Darth Vader: Search deep down inside, Luke. You know it to be true...
(Music intensifies...)
Luke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"Ugh, not that stupid old Star Wars movie." said Benson, as he changed the channel again. Once he did, this is what was on...
(TV screen shows a scene from the movie, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"...)
Animatronic dolls (singing): Willy Wonka,
Willy Wonka,
The amazing chocolatier!
Willy Wonka,
Willy Wonka,
Everybody give a cheer!
"Yeah, everybody but me! That song is so annoying!" said Benson, changing the channel again. This time, this was on...
(TV shows "Caillou" theme song...)
Caillou (singing): I'm just a kid who's four,
Each day I grow some more,
I like exploring,
I'm Caillou...
"No, no, no!" said Benson, "I'm not watch that tiny, bald-headed brat on my TV! No way, no how!"
And with that, Benson changed the channel. This time, a scene from "Jurassic Park" was on. It was the scene of the T-Rex chase. Benson smiled as the scene took place...
"Hmm, this looks interesting..." said Benson, as the T-Rex chased after the jeep.
But suddenly, the scene faded to black and a message came on...
"Jurassic Park will return after these messages." said a voice, "See you soon!". And with that, a commercial break came on.
"Oh great, a bunch a random commercials." said Benson, as one began to play, "But at least its better than those annoying programs for kids."
But at that very moment, a commercial came on. It was for "Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida...
"Hey everyone! Are you in the need of a celebration for any occasion?!" asked a voice, "Are you in the need of the best gift ever?! Well, look no more! Just come on down to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida! Two parks of rides, gifts, food, and lots of FUN! Are you a Harry Potter or Marvel fan? Well, then go on down to Islands of Adventure! Do you like the Simpsons or Despicable Me? Well, then go on down to Universal Studios Orlando itself. This place is great for kids, teens, and adults of all ages.

Adventure awaits you at Universal Studios in Orlando!"
The commercial ended and changed to a commercial for a makeup product. As it ended, Benson froze with his mouth wide open with happiness. He had an idea...
"THAT'S IT!" said Benson, jumping off of the sofa, "I know what do to for Rigby's birthday!"
Benson happily ran up the stairs and entered his office, slamming the door shut behind him. He sat down at his desk and picked up his phone before dialing the number...
"Hello, this is Sandra for Universal Studios Orlando Reservations." said a female voice on the other end, "How can I help you?"
"Hi, my name is Benson and I would like to make a reservation for a few friends of mine." said Benson, "Its a really special occasion..."
After 20 minutes on the phone, Benson's fax machine came on. It printed out 6 entry tickets for both "Universal Studios Orlando" theme parks. It also printed out some reservation documents for the "Hard Rock Hotel & Casino". Benson then put all of the the papers into a folder and made some more phone calls. The fax machine then printed out 6 round-trip plane tickets to Orlando, Florida, which Benson also put into the folder. He then got out his checkbook, and wrote up 6 checks, each one for 2,000 dollars. He smiled as he put everything together in the folder before relaxing...
"Ah, all finished." said Benson, "I'm sure that Rigby is going to love my present more than anyone else's."
Well everyone, it seems that everyone is getting something for Rigby's upcoming birthday. And it looks like Benson has an idea of what do to for Rigby as a present since he forgot to buy a gift at the last minute. The birthday celebration is in the morning and only them will Benson announce to Rigby what his gift to him is. What is Benson's gift? Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to read and find out. Well, let's move on to chapter 2 of this story...
