Chapter 1
A/N There's a Seinfeld reference in here. Try to spot it ;)
"Happy birthday Eileen!" The duo shouted.
The girl almost dropped the tray she was carrying to table 7. A wide smile spread across her face. "Aw thanks guys! I didn't think anyone remembered." She put the tray down and hugged each of them.
"Of course we remembered! We're your best friends!" Mordecai exclaimed. "And besides, we'd never forget your birthday no matter what."
Eileen beamed. But the moment was broken when Rigby held out a small blue box. Maybe it wasn't broken after all. The girl gasped.
"Rigby, you got me something?"
The raccoon blushed. "Yeah, why wouldn't I?"
Eileen took the box and opened it. Her eyes widened when she saw what was inside.
"You got me..." She took the present out of the cushioned foam and put the box next to the tray. "A necklace?" She held it up for both boys to see but Rigby looked the other way. Mordecai smirked knowingly. It was a simple necklace, with a silver chain and an opal pendant that winked in the sun as she bought it to her chest.
"Gosh it's beautiful Rigby." Eileen exclaimed then she put it round her neck, her fingers fumbling for the clasp at the back. Rigby, seeing her to be struggling, went round and did it for her. He smiled.
"There we go."
Eileen whirled around and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Rigby!" She kissed him on the cheek then let go. The raccoon stood in a temporary daze then walked back to Mordecai, who wore a devilish smile.
"Shut up." The raccoon blushed again and punched Mordecai in the shoulder, but the blue jay was already handing over a parcel to the girl, who smiled at him.
She tore off the paper then gasped. "A sewing kit? You got me a sewing kit?!" Eileen looked up at Mordecai, who's smile had vanished.
"What, you don't like it?" The blue jay asked unsurely, his hands tangling together.
Eileen's lips broke into a smile. "I love it! I've always wanted a sewing kit but I kept forgetting to buy myself one!" She pushed it aside, stood and hugged him. "Thank you Mordecai!"
While Eileens arms were wrapped around his neck, Mordecai shot Rigby a coy smile. The raccoon just punched him again. The girl let go and began picking up the paper. She bunched it up, put it on the table, then picked up the tray again,
"Sorry guys, but I gotta go serve this customer. Thanks so much for the presents. Especially yours Rigby." Eileen winked at the raccoon then went off to table 7.
Rigby's face flushed and he tried to hide it with his hands, but Mordecai elbowed him in the side. "So, Eileen huh?'
"Shut up!" Rigby dropped his hands.
"How much did the necklace cost anyway?"
"None of your business." Rigby stated.
Mordecai shrugged. "Alright then."
The raccoon looked the other way. "..."
Mordecai, who'd been people watching, looked at the raccoon at hearing his audible mumble. "What?"
"..."
"What's that?" Mordecai smiled. "I can't hear you!"
"$182!" Rigby blurted then he covered his mouth.
Mordecai's eyes widened. "$182? You spent $182 on Eileen?"
Rigby took his hands away and nodded.
"And that was your savings from the park wasn't it?" Mordecai said knowingly.
"Yeah." Rigby said slowly.
The blue jay scoffed. "You sure you don't like her?"
Rigby flushed again. "What? Why do you say that?!"
"Dude, you bought her a gift that cost over a hundred bucks! Plus it was a necklace and chicks love jewelry."
Rigby groaned. "How much did the kit cost?"
Mordecai shrugged. "Like, 35 bucks."
Rigby groaned again. "Great."
"Hey we need to tell Eileen about her other present."
"Her other present? What other present..." Rigby suddenly smiled. "Oh right! Yeah haha her other present!"
Mordecai shook his head. "You're such an idiot."
Rigby frowned, but it dropped when Eileen walked up, empty tray in hand.
"You guys are still here?" She asked, surprised, then she put the tray on the table.
"Yeah, um." Mordecai started. "We actually got you another present."
Eileen's eyes widened and he expression brightened. "What? Guys, come on. You don't need to get me anything else-"
"Margaret's coming over to the coffee shop." Rigby blurted.
The girl looked at him. "Wait, what?"
Mordecai shot him a look, but Rigby ignored it.
"We...we called Margaret yesterday, told her it was your birthday and she's coming back here for a couple days to celebrate your 24th."
Eileen grinned. She clasped her hands together. "Oh Rigby!" She threw herself on him, practically knocking the breath out of the raccoon, then she pulled away.
Her face went bright red. "Oh geez sorry about that Rigby." She laughed shyly and fixed her glasses. "But aw you guys are the greatest! You got Margaret to come over here? I haven't seen her in months!"
"Neither have I." Mordecai mumbled.
"Thank you guys so much!" Eileen exclaimed.
The blue jay smiled. "Well, you're welcome Eileen. It's the least we could do, considering it is your birthday after all."
"What time's she going to be here?"
"Tomorrow afternoon." Rigby answered. "She's bringing you a present too by the way."
"Really?" The girls eyes shone. "Aw thank you thank you thank you!"
Mordecai grinned as he was pulled into another hug. And so was Rigby. The raccoon went red, but he tried to shrug it off when Eileen let go. The girl saw but she pretended not to notice.
Eileen cleared her throat and brushed her apron. Despite her expression being serious, she smiled at the duo. "Well, I gotta go back to my job. I'll see you guys tomorrow yeah?"
"Definitely." Mordecai nodded.
The mole walked off to the back room and when she was gone, Rigby punched Mordecai, who laughed as he walked to the coffee shop door.
"Shut up dude." Rigby said, but the blue jay only laughed again.
