Author's Notes: Yes, I'm back with another Regular Show story. I'm excited because I feel like I have more ways I could go with this story. Enough of an intro, lets raise the curtain and begin!
An Accident
The Park...
"Skips, I'm going to need you to fix the electric in the house." Benson shot a glare at his two favorite slackers. "Wonder why that would be needed-"
"I told Rigby not to do it!" Mordecai interrupted.
"I don't even want to hear it. You two clean the gutters and the fountains and the bathrooms. Muscle Man and Fives, you two can water the trees. Pops will run the snack bar while I go and get some ice for your coolers."
The blue jay and raccoon groaned. As if the summer heat wasn't enough, it hadn't rained in two weeks. Benson bought coolers on wheels and plenty of water for his workers. Some people, like Mordecai and Rigby, shared one but had a few water bottles in it. Mordecai dragged their cooler down the stairs. Rigby scampered off to get the ladder.
"Man, I hate cleaning the gutters!" Rigby whined.
"Well if you didn't throw the laundry detergent at the fuse box, we might've had an easier job!" Mordecai set the ladder against the house. "Now hold the damn thing still."
"Yeah, yeah. I don't even see why we had to do laundry yesterday." Rigby groaned again.
"Dude, it was our laundry." Mordecai threw the leaves onto the ground, some landing on Rigby.
"What the hell dude?" Rigby spat, frantically trying to get the disgusting leaves off him.
"You're the one who forgot the bucket!" Mordecai looked down at Rigby, who had let go of the ladder. "Hey! Get your hands back on the ladder!" Mordecai had started to wobble.
"Oh shut it, Benson Jr! I'm sick and tired of you-"
Mordecai slipped and had fallen directly on top of Rigby. He stood up quickly and looked down at his friend.
"Oh, fuck!" From the looks of it, Rigby was unconscious. He must've hit his head on something when Mordecai fell on him.
"Oh man! Skips! Skips!" Mordecai yelled for the yeti.
"What is it?" Skips came out of the house.
"Rigby's on the ground! He's not waking up, what do I do?!"
"Calm down! Let's get him to the hospital."
The bird carried his friend to Skips's van and laid him in the back seat. Mordecai sat next to him while Skips drove.
The Hospital...
They had been waiting for hours on word of the raccoon's condition.
"Yeah, Benson. I can clean them when I get back. Are you sure? It's our fault we... Alright. Thank you Benson." Mordecai hung up and sighed. "Benson said he'll get our jobs done somehow."
Skips just nodded and continued to meditate on the couch of the waiting area. Nobody else was in this room, so it was quiet. A doctor came in.
"Are you the ones who brought in Rigby Saylers?"
The two nodded.
"He has a concussion, but its mild. We think he lost consciousness because of pain rather than the actual injury. He has woken up, but is in no condition for visitors. You two can go home, I'll call you if anything changes."
"When can he have visitors?" Mordecai asked him.
"Perhaps tomorrow. We'll have to ask him which ones are okay, but I'm sure he'll let you two in. If I could only ask one question, what caused him to fall and hit his head?"
"Uhm... I may have fallen off a ladder and onto him."
The doctor sighed and left.
"Let's go, Mordecai."
The Coffee Shop...
"Oh my, is he going to be okay?"
Mordecai nodded. "I couldn't visit him today, maybe tomorrow I will." He sipped his coffee.
The mole sighed and continued to wipe the table. "Poor guy.. Hey, I'm off tomorrow. Do you think I could tag along?"
"Sure, I bet he'd be excited to see you," He hinted.
Eileen blushed at this and took his plate. "Alright, I'll be at the Park around 8."
"Sounds good. Thanks Eileen." He paid her and left. Eileen took the empty plate to the sink and began washing it.
Ding!
Eileen walked out to the main area and looked to see who entered. "Oh hi Margaret!" She greeted her friend.
"Hey Eileen. Whew, I don't know how you do it alone. This place is packed!" They laughed at the joke and Margaret looked around at all the empty tables.
"Did you hear about Rigby?"
"Yeah, Mordecai texted me while he was at the hospital. They were slacking off, of course. I hope this makes him stop being so lazy."
"Yeah, but if they didn't leave to go get coffees I wouldn't see Rigby as much." She giggled. "I'm gonna visit him tomorrow since I have off."
"Ooooh, sounds like fun."
Eileen smiled. Yeah, Rigby probably wouldn't care if Eileen went to see him or not. But her crush on him showed no bounds. He'd warmed up to her slightly, but he still hasn't shown any interest in dating. Eileen was fine with it though. She loved whatever time they spent together.
As for Margaret and Mordecai, they are thinking of starting their relationship again. But he thinks he needs more time.
"So, how're you and him?"
"I don't know, Eileen. He seems to be coming around, and I don't wanna push him into anything. Ugh, it's so confusing. I want to get back together with him, but he seems to be still hung up on CJ." The robin sighed.
"Mmm.."
A few moments of awkward silence passed before Eileen saw the clock.
"Well, guess I should close up." Eileen turned the sign on the door.
"I'll help ya." Margaret smiled.
Author's Notes: Ah, the end of chapter one! Yeah, I know Rigleen is a thing now in the series but its called fanfiction for a reason. I am a little weary on the fact that this started a little slow but it will pick up shortly. It's not much of a cliffhanger, but there are still unanswered questions. Will Rigby be okay? Is Mordecai going to get back with Margaret? Did Skips ever fix the electrical stuff in the house? Guess we'll find out in the next one.
Stay Classy!
