Ever since they began their jobs as park workers, Mordecai and Rigby have always caused a lot of chaos at the park with their escapades.
While Mordecai and Rigby have been reprimanded for their actions, they have never been fired from their jobs, despite their boss, Benson, always threatening to fire them.
Benson has never stuck to his commitment about firing Mordecai and Rigby; until today, that is.
One afternoon at the park, Mordecai and Rigby were inside Pops' house. They were standing outside Benson's office, which was just a room inside Pops' house.
Mordecai was acting nervous. He and Rigby were standing outside Benson's office because Benson was about to have a stern talk with them regarding something they did.
Mordecai groaned. "We're so getting fired for this," he said.
"Come on, Mordecai, you know Benson isn't actually going to fire us," Rigby assured, "He NEVER does. He'll just yell at us, tell us what we did wrong, and then tell us to get back to work. We've been through this before."
"Hmmm, I don't know, dude," Mordecai said, "Benson seemed REALLY cheesed off at us when he saw what we did."
"Mordecai, Rigby, please come into my office," Benson instructed from inside his office.
Mordecai breathed heavily. "Well, here we go, dude," he said.
"We'll be just fine," Rigby said.
Mordecai opened the door to Benson's office, and he and Rigby stepped inside the office. Mordecai closed the door when he and Rigby were inside.
Mordecai and Rigby were now facing Benson, who was sitting at his desk. Benson had a stern look on his face when he was facing Mordecai and Rigby.
Benson was livid with the two, and tried to calm himself down so he could handle reprimanding Mordecai and Rigby in a professional manner.
There was a small moment of silence before Benson spoke up, getting ready to reprimand Mordecai and Rigby.
Benson took a deep breath. "This time, you two have gone too far," he said, "What you two did today has got to be one of the most stupid and idiotic things you have ever done while working here."
"We know, and we're sorry, Benson," Mordecai apologized.
"What were you two thinking?" Benson asked, "Not only could you have killed yourselves, but you destroyed the entire park, as well."
"We just thought it looked so cool after we saw it on T.V.," Rigby said.
"Oh, so you saw it on a show, and thought you could try it at home?" Benson asked, "You thought it looked so harmless, and that no one would get hurt?"
"Well, the show DID warn us not to do it, but it looked so fun, we just couldn't resist," Rigby explained.
Benson sighed. "Right," he said, "You know, you two are so lucky no one got hurt from your stunt. But, it's going to cost a lot to repair the damages you two have done to this park."
"So, you can just take our paychecks to pay for the damage," Rigby said.
"I'm afraid it's not going to work like that, Rigby," Benson said.
"Oh, no," Mordecai said. He knew what was coming next.
"Listen, I know I have threatened to fire you both in the past, and never stuck to my commitment," Benson said, "But because you two have gone too far, and have labeled yourselves as a safety hazard to the park, I have no choice but to say….."
Mordecai was starting to get upset. He knew that he and Rigby were going to be fired.
…you're fired," Benson said. While he would usually yell this phrase at Mordecai and Rigby, he was surprisingly calm when he said it.
Mordecai knew that Benson was being serious when he said that he and Rigby were fired, but Rigby thought that Benson was joking.
Rigby started to laugh. "Good one, Benson," he said, "So, I assume we should just get back to work right now?"
"No, Rigby, when I mean you're fired, I mean…" Benson began.
Benson pulled out two stacks of termination papers that Mordecai and Rigby needed to sign. One was for Mordecai, and one was for Rigby. Benson slammed the termination papers on his desk.
….YOU'RE FIRED!" Benson exclaimed. His face was red when he said this.
When Rigby saw Benson's face turn red, he knew that Benson was being serious.
Benson was holding two pens in his hand after he laid down the papers. Mordecai and Rigby each took a pen from Benson, and signed the termination papers.
"Aw, man, this sucks," Rigby commented as he and Mordecai were signing the termination papers.
When Mordecai and Rigby were done signing the papers, they put their pens down. Benson took the papers, and stowed them away.
"So, even though we're fired, we can still stay here, right?" Rigby asked.
"GET OUT!" Benson exclaimed, pointing to the door in his office. This was his way of saying "no".
Mordecai and Rigby were disappointed that they could not continue living at Pops' house. They walked out of Benson's office.
"Great," Mordecai said sarcastically as he and Rigby were walking out of the house, "Now what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know, man," Rigby said.
Mordecai and Rigby were now outside of the house. They looked at their surroundings, reflecting on what they did that caused them to get fired.
The entire park was destroyed from Mordecai and Rigby's stunt.
Mordecai sighed. "I knew we shouldn't have pulled that stunt," he said.
"To be honest, I think we've done things much worse than this," Rigby commented.
Since Mordecai and Rigby were fired from their jobs, they could no longer live at Pops' house, so the two had to find somewhere else to stay for the time being. They eventually were able to find a hotel in the city the park was located near, and had enough money to stay the night at the hotel.
Mordecai and Rigby checked into their hotel room. It was already nighttime when Mordecai and Rigby checked into their room.
Mordecai and Rigby's hotel room was just like any other hotel room. It had a bed, a T.V., a bathroom, etc. Unfortunately for Mordecai and Rigby, they only had enough money for a room with one bed.
Rigby was happy that he and Mordecai had found a place to stay for the night. Mordecai, on the other hand, was not so happy. He was still upset that he had been fired.
"Well, here we are, Mordecai," Rigby said as he and Mordecai entered the hotel room.
Mordecai and Rigby looked at their hotel room.
"Hmm, hmm," Rigby said while nodding his head, "Pretty nice, if you ask me."
Rigby went up to the bed in the hotel room. He jumped onto the bed, laying down on it when he landed on top of the bed.
"Oh, yeah," Rigby said, "This feels nice. So, Mordecai, what do you want to do?"
Rigby saw the remote to the T.V. on a nightstand near the bed. He also saw a food menu for room service.
"We could order some food from room service," Rigby suggested as he picked up the menu. He then picked up the remote to the T.V., "Or, we could watch some T.V."
Mordecai went up to the bed. He pushed Rigby off of the bed. He was livid with Rigby, for some reason.
When Rigby fell off of the bed, he dropped the menu and the remote, both items remaining on the bed.
Mordecai got onto the bed, laid down on the bed, and picked up the remote. He turned the T.V. on with the remote, flipped to a channel, and began watching a show.
Rigby landed on the floor after being pushed by Mordecai.
"Hey, what gives?" Rigby asked.
Mordecai was trying to ignore Rigby. He was in a really bad mood.
"Hello?" Rigby said, trying to get Mordecai's attention, "Earth to Mordecai?"
Rigby tried various ways of getting Mordecai's attention, such as snapping his fingers at Mordecai. Mordecai, however, was ignoring Rigby's ways of getting his attention.
Rigby eventually got on top of the bed, and farted in Mordecai's face.
Mordecai got annoyed with Rigby when he did this.
Mordecai groaned in disgust. "Dude, cut it out!" Mordecai exclaimed as he pushed Rigby off of the bed again.
Rigby scoffed. "What's your problem, man?" he asked.
"What's my problem, man?" Mordecai repeated, "I'll tell you what's my problem, man. My problem is YOU."
"What about me?" Rigby asked.
"YOU'RE the reason why we got fired because you just HAD to imitate that stunt you saw on T.V." Mordecai explained.
"Come on, Mordecai, how I was supposed to know that stunt would destroy the entire park?" Rigby asked.
"Because you made the stunt even more dangerous than how it was shown on T.V.," Mordecai explained, "In fact, YOU are always messing things up for us. YOU'RE the reason why all of these weird events happen at the park, YOU'RE the reason why we get into these messes, and most of all, YOU'RE the reason why we we're gonna end up unemployed and homeless."
"Hey, at least we have enough money to stay at this hotel," Rigby pointed out.
"Yeah, for one night," Mordecai said, "Then, where are we gonna stay, tomorrow?"
Rigby could not answer Mordecai's question.
"Now leave me alone, dude," Mordecai said, I'm gonna enjoy watching T.V. for as long as I can, because tomorrow, I'll never be able to watch T.V. again thanks to YOU."
Mordecai went back to watching the T.V. show.
Rigby was upset because Mordecai was mad at him. He just wanted to have fun with the stunt.
Rigby was watching the T.V. show with Mordecai. However, Rigby did not like the show that Mordecai was watching.
"Dude, this show is boring," Rigby commented.
Rigby grabbed the remote, which was lying on the bed next to Mordecai.
"Let's watch something else, instead," Rigby said as he grabbed the remote.
Rigby changed the channel with the remote. He changed the channel, and found a show that he liked.
"Dude, change it back," Mordecai instructed.
"No way, man, that show sucks," Rigby commented.
"I said change it back!" Mordecai exclaimed as he took the remote from Rigby, and changed the channel back to the show he was watching.
Rigby attacked Mordecai as a way of trying to get the remote back. This caused Mordecai to drop the remote, with the remote landing on the bed. A fight ensued between the two over the remote.
Mordecai and Rigby grabbed the remote at the same time, each gripping an end of the remote, and pulling the remote towards themselves like a game of tug-of-war.
"Give me that remote, bro!" Rigby exclaimed.
No, you give me the remote, bro," Mordecai said.
Mordecai and Rigby's fight was disturbing some of the hotel guests that were on the same floor as they were.
"Hey, keep it down over there!" a voice exclaimed from another room, "I'm trying to sleep!"
Ignoring the voice, Mordecai and Rigby went back to fighting over the remote.
"Let's play rock, paper, scissors for the remote," Rigby suggested.
"No way, we'll just cause another black hole," Mordecai said, "Let's play punchies for it."
"No way, you always win," Rigby replied.
"That's my point!" Mordecai exclaimed.
As Mordecai and Rigby were fighting over the remote, they were also pressing buttons on the remote. This caused the T.V. to change to different channels during the fight. One of the channels was showing a commercial for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends…." a voice on the commercial said before the channel was changed.
Rigby stopped fighting with Mordecai when he heard, "imaginary friends".
"Wait, what was that?" Rigby asked.
Mordecai snatched the remote from Rigby's grip.
"Ha!" Mordecai exclaimed, "Guess we're gonna watch my show, now."
Rigby snatched the remote from Mordecai, and changed the channel. He changed it back to the Foster's commercial.
Mordecai tackled Rigby to the ground. "Dude, I said we're gonna watch my show," he said.
"Look!" Rigby exclaimed, pointing to the screen.
"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is a wonderful, funderful, imagination habitation," the voice on the commercial explained, "We provide, food, shelter, and a warm heart for imaginary friends looking for a place to call home. So if you know of, or have an imaginary friend that desperately needs a home, then come on down to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, where good ideas are not forgotten."
The commercial ended, and went back to a show that was airing on the channel. Rigby turned the T.V. off. Seeing the commercial gave him an idea.
"Now THAT looks like an awesome place," Rigby commented.
"Seriously?" Mordecai commented, "There's a foster home for imaginary friends? This has gotta be a joke."
"Who cares if it's a joke?" Rigby asked, "The important thing is that we just found a new place to call home."
Mordecai knew what Rigby was up to.
"Dude, are you saying that we should go LIVE over there?" Mordecai asked.
"You know it!" Rigby exclaimed.
Mordecai thought about Rigby's idea.
"Hmmm, I don't know about this, dude," Mordecai said, "That place looks like a scam. Besides, imaginary friends don't even exist."
"Actually, they DO exist," Rigby said, "I used to have an imaginary friend myself once. His name was Killer the Destroyer."
Mordecai remembered about Rigby having an imaginary friend.
"Oh, yeah, I remember him," Mordecai said, "You made him up because you hardly had any friends growing up."
"STOP TALKING!" Rigby exclaimed, "And anyway, he was real to me."
"But even if imaginary friends ARE real over there, there's no way we're going to get in," Mordecai said, "We're not imaginary friends."
Rigby thought about what Mordecai said. He snapped his fingers.
"We may not be imaginary, but that doesn't mean we don't LOOK imaginary," Rigby pointed out.
Mordecai and Rigby looked at each other.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Mordecai said, "I must admit we do look like imaginary friends."
"Not to mention that food and shelter are provided, as well," Rigby added.
Mordecai remembered that the commercial mentioned that food and shelter were provided.
"Think about it, Mordecai," Rigby said, "We could slack off all day, play video games whenever we want, and NEVER have to worry about chores, or Benson yelling at us, or even making minimum wage. We probably would never have to work another day in our lives over there. What do you say?"
Mordecai thought about it. He liked the idea of having food and shelter provided, and not having a job if they lived there.
"I guess we could give it a shot," Mordecai said hesitantly.
"Then it's settled," Rigby said, "Tomorrow, we're going to Foster's!"
