A/N: Before you begin to read, let me just say that I apologise for my horrible spelling/grammar. English is not my first language, and the word document I use does not have spell check. Anyway, if you're able to read and comprehend it, I hope you enjoy.
I do not own Regular Show or any of its characters.
It was a sunny day in the park, when Benson stomps up, looking perturbed as usually.
"What's wrong?" Skips, the bravest of the bunch, dares to ask since everyone else seems to be too afraid to. Skips isn't afraid though, he once arm wrestled Death and won.
"Nothing is wrong." Benson says through gritted teeth. He then looks around and notices that something is awry.
"Hey, where's Mordecai and Rigby?" He then asks, as his voice tone turns even angrier.
"They're probably messing with the new computer." Muscle Man says. Benson lets out a loud angry sigh that shakes the whole ground. He got tired of everyone fighting over computer time, so he purchased another one, however, he was now beginning to regret it.
"Somebody better go find them, and tell them that if they're not here in five minutes, they're fired!" Benson exclaims with his face turning as red as a cherry tomato.
"Chill out dude, we're right here." Mordecai says, and he and Rigby pop out from behind of Pops' giant head.
"What are you doing back there? Why didn't you say anything when I asked where you were?" Benson asks with his hands on his hips.
"I got distracted, sorry." Mordecai replies with a shrug.
"Maybe if you were a better boss, then you'd be able to keep up with us." Rigby retorts, it was plain to everyone that he was in a bad mood too. As it always does, when bad mood hits bad mood, it turns into a catastrophic eruption.
"YOU'RE FIRED!" Benson yells, ignoring the shocked looks on everyone's faces. Sure he's threatened to fire him before, and he has actually done the deed a couple of times, but never before have they seen him sound so serious.
"Y-You're firing me?" Rigby asks, his bad mood being replaced by shock.
"Yea, not that you made a difference in this park anyway, you're useless, your parents probably thought the same thing and that's why they decided to have another kid." Benson says, causing everyone to gasp out.
"That was too far." Skips says. Benson looks at everyone's angry faces, and at Rigby, who has tears in his eyes, and he feels a pang of guilt. He quickly shoves it down, he is too angry right now. He then lets out a sigh, knowing that he shouldn't be taking his anger for Dean Sanders out on Rigby. Dean Sanders was Benson's best friend from college, that was until he caught him in bed with his girlfriend. It turned out, that they had been seeing each other for a few weeks now.
"I'm sorry Rigby, I am just having a bad day, that's all." Benson says with a sigh.
"If you tell us what's wrong, maybe we can help you." Mordecai says before Rigby can say something in return to Benson's apology.
"Yea." Everyone says in unison.
Benson then lets out a sigh, knowing they won't leave him alone until he tells them, so he tells them the whole story.
"Why not try online dating? Starla's sister Peggy met a great girl on there." Muscle Man says.
"Girl?" Rigby asks, not knowing if he heard correctly.
"Yea, Peggy's dating this girl named Luanne, they're totally happy together." Muscle Man says with a smile.
"I could try online dating." Benson says, stroking his chin with his fingers as he thinks about it.
"Just don't sign up for Couple Corral, the owner is psycho." Mordecai says with a shiver, remembering how the man almost killed him and CJ.
"Alright." Benson says before pulling out his tablet, causing everyone, except Skips, to gasp.
"Why don't we get one of those?" Rigby asks, envy is evident in his voice.
"If you save up enough money like I did, then you could buy one like I did." Benson says with annoyance.
"Are you signing up now?" Muscle Man asks. Benson shakes his head,
"I am checking to see what jobs I put down for everyone to do." He pauses for a minute before speaking again.
"Alright, Skips, I need you to repair the third bench on the left side, Muscle Man, you and Hi-Five Ghost pull up some stumps, Mordecai and Rigby, rake the leaves."
"Ugh, again?" Mordecai and Rigby groan in unison.
"Yea, what's the point of even raking the leaves if more are just going to fall anyway?" Rigby asks.
"Just do it or you're fired!" Benson yells.
"Fine." Mordecai grumbles before he walks off with Rigby at his heels.
"Man, Benson's being a real jerk today." Rigby grumbles as he grabs a rake.
"He seems to have a good reason to be in a bad mood." Mordecai says, grabbing a rake of his own.
"Yea well, I still think he should pay for saying what he did to me, and I know just how to do it." Rigby says with a wicked grin on his face.
"Come on dude, he apologised." Mordecai says, not wanting to get involved in anymore craziness.
"He didn't really mean it, besides, think about all the times he has been mean to us." Rigby says.
"Yea, but he's also saved our lives before, and he's had plenty of good reasons to fire us and he hasn't." Mordecai says. Rigby lets out a frustrated sigh, before getting on his knees.
"Pleaseeee do this with me, you're my best friend and you're owe me one." Rigby begs.
"Fine, but if Benson finds out it's us, you're taking the full blame." Mordecai relents.
"Awesome!" Rigby exclaims happily.
"Yea, yea, now let's get to work before Benson comes to check on us." Mordecai says with a sigh, before he begins to rake the leaves. Rigby begins to hum while he pretends to rake the leaves, not knowing how much pain and suffering his plan is going to cause.
