"Ok, so listen up." Benson said, as he looked at his board. "Pops, you're on Snack bar duty. Skips, you're cleaning the fountain. Muscleman and Hi-five ghost, rake the leaves, some kids trip and cry because of those damn leaves." He muttered. "Mordecai and Rigby, pick up the litter." He looked at his employees. "All right, let's get this work done, people!"

While the others were doing their jobs, it was not even 30 minutes, Mordecai and Rigby were already exhausted. Rigby groaned and looked at Mordecai.

"Dude, let's take a break." He moaned, in tiredness.

Mordecai wiped the sweat off his face. "Yeah, I guess we could deserve a break." They dropped their equipment on the ground and began to walk away when they heard an, "ahem".

They turned around and saw Benson looking furious and tapping his foot on the ground. "Just where do you think you two are going?"

"Uh, we were just taking a break." Mordecai slowly said.

Benson sighed. "For 20 minutes? AGAIN?!" He started fueling up with anger.

The two were a bit frightened by losing their jobs, but they were too exhausted to continue. Rigby finally spoke up.

"Only 10 minutes, we promise."

Benson sighed once more. "Fine. But no more breaks this month. Or YOU'RE FIRED!" He walked away, anger still his emotion.


The two best friends walked over their usual table, waiting for Eileen. They both waved at the mole girl, making her walk to them.

"Hey guys. The usual?" She asked, holding her notepad.

Rigby nodded. "But put a latte on mine." She nodded and went to theback.

Rigby looked around, smiled maniacally, and nudged Mordecai on the elbow.

"What now?" Mordecai raised his hands.

Rigby played with his fingers. "Oh, you know. Because...ah, you know." He chuckled a bit.

Mordecai rolled his eyes. "No, I do not know. So tell me or I'll dump water on you." He grabbed a glass of water that was automatically on the table.

Rigby stopped laughing and sighed. "Ok. Let's make a deal, shall we?"

"I had enough of your childishness before. Don't make me dump this water on you."

"Enough with the freaking water, man! This is life we're talkin' about!"

"And how exactly is life have to do with the bet?" Mordecai crossed his arms.

"Uhh..." Rigby stuttered.

"Hm hm. That's what I thought." He drank the glass of water.

Rigby held Mordecai's shoulder. "C'mon, dude!"

Mordecai stopped drinking. "Fine, I'll listen but that doesn't mean I'm agreeing on the stupid bet."

"Okay, man. Here's the deal. Break up with CJ-"

Mordecai widened his eyes. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm out on this." He didn't want to lose again a person he loved. "Not doing it."

Rigby waved his hands in front of Mordecai. "Wait! It gets interesting! After you break up with CJ, you get that hot stuff there." He pointed back.

Mordecai started to get a little annoyed but turned around. He had his mouth agaped when he saw a pony-tailed bluejay with sparkling black eyes. He sat in front again.

Rigby laughed. "Dude, you like her."

Mordecai was taken aback. "No, dude. I love CJ. That's that."

Rigby snorted. "Doesn't sound like love."

"What was that?!"

"Nothing. Geez." Mordecai glared and grabbed his glass of water and dumped it on him.

Rigby shook his head around. "The hell, Mordecai?!" They were soon fighting using their hands until Mordecai put his hands on his own head.

"Okay, okay, I like her."

Rigby crossed his arms. "Hm hm. That's what I thought."

Mordecai blushed. "CJ's not that attractive but- oh thanks Eileen." He grabbed the sandwich and water, while Rigby grabbed his pizza sub and latte. Eileen once again went to the back.

"As I was as saying, I like that girl because of her beauty, I don't know her yet." He said, grabbing a bite on his sandwich.

Rigby quickly ate his sub, making a pig on himself. "Okay, you like her. Chu chu chu chu chu chu yada yada yada yada. Thing is. Ask her to be your girlfriend and right when she say's yes say 'everything was all a joke, I'm sorry'."

Mordecai widened his eyes once more and coughed making him a choke a little. He drank water and gulped it down then slapped Rigby on the back of the head.

"That's for being cruel, dude! I can't just say that! That's mean!"

"Fine, don't say it. After you do it, I'll give you my life savings."

Mordecai didn't believe what was happening so he pinched himself, making him wince under his breath. The true Rigby wouldn't give anyone his life savings.

"Your life savings? Don't you want to go to Europe when you have a family?"

Rigby rolled his eyes. "Fine. Half of my life savings."

"How much are your life savings, anyway?" Mordecai asked.

Rigby proudly crossed his arms. "About $15,000. No biggie."

Mordecai widened his eyes. "No biggie?! Dude! You got 15000 bucks and you say that?!" He took a final bite of his sandwich and drank his water. "I'm going in." He jumped off his seat.

Rigby grabbed Mordecai's ear. "Get her digits."

Mordecai walked over her table, when he got nearer he gasped another breath. When he saw she spilled her orange juice on her skirt. He quickly grabbed tissues on his pocket (he made a quick mental note to thank Benson for the tissues. He wanted the park workers to be clean too).

Mordecai gave her the tissues and saw her wipe her skirt slowly as if she was doing it for him. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her.

"Thanks, Allan." She sighed.

Mordecai froze and then grew a little jealous. "Oh, no. My name's Mordecai."

She looked up and blushed. "Oh, hi. My name is Chloe. Hi Mordecai." She smiled and shook his hand.

"Uh, not to interfere but who's Allan?"

"My brother."

Mordecai froze. "Oh uh okay."

Chloe raised her eyebrow. "Are you a waiter?"

Mordecai shook his head. "Nah. I work in the park with my best friend Rigby." He pointed to the raccoon who was talking to Eileen. "Do you come here often?" He asked, nervously.

Chloe giggled. "Oh you would not believe. I go here every day, dude!"

Mordecai laughed. "Me too." They quickly started chatting until a hunky looking bluejay walked over.

"Chloe! Who are you." He looked at Mordecai.

Chloe explained to him about Mordecai and he nodded. "Nice to meet you Mordecai."

Mordecai nodded. "You too." They shook hands.

Allan looked at Chloe. "Let's all exchange numbers." They all nodded.


Rigby and Eileen stopped chatting when Mordecai came back. Mordecai showed Rigby a thin piece of paper.

"I got her digits!" Mordecai smiled.

"OOOOOOOHHH!" They both yelled.

Rigby gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Yeah, bro! Now we can have double dates with Eileen and...?"

"Chloe. Dude! CJ?! And she has a brother. They always go with each other, I mean. What if he doesn't like me?"

"Worry about that with her parents. Call CJ now, I got an idea."
