Regular Show Stories: Conflict
Rigby's POV
I woke from my trampoline after having another nightmare. Mordecai was still fast asleep in his comfy bed. Sometimes I wished I could just get up there and sleep in it, it looks nice and warm and definitely sleep-worthy. Though I like my trampoline better. After waking up from my nightmare, I was shaking. I keep having these nightmares every night. It's the same nightmare every day since a couple of weeks ago, when we had another fight. It's the same one over and over…I wake up in a very dark forest, all alone.
I keep shouting Mordecai's name, but he isn't replying, I search the dark forests for Mordecai and my other friends, it's an endless nightmare, until I wake up. "Urgh…" I groaned, rolling off my trampoline and began walking over to the door. "I might go wash my face…" I muttered to myself. I exchanged another glance over at Mordecai's bed before I opened our bedroom door and closed it softly behind me.
I walked over to the bathroom and washed my face, after drying the water off my face using a nearby towel and decided to go downstairs for a midnight snack. When I reached the bottom of the stairs I noticed Muscle Man and HFG face-first in a box of nachos, unconscious. I laughed to myself and walking into the kitchen. I looked at the time on the microwave, it read; "4:54AM"
"I don't want to go back to bed because I'm afraid of having more of those nightmares." I muttered to myself. After making myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I sat on one of the dining chairs and took a few bites out of it. It tasted like Heaven.
Mordecai's POV
I woke up in my bed, having another nightmare, I'm seriously getting tired of these nightmares. I looked to my left and noticed that Rigby wasn't on his 'bed'. I got up off my bed and walked out into the hallway and down the stairs. I noticed Muscle Man and HFG face-first in nachos, asleep by the looks of it. I got into the kitchen and noticed Rigby eating some sort of weird sandwich.
"Hey, what are you doing up?" I asked. "Shit!" Rigby screamed, falling off his chair. "Damn, you startled me!" Rigby complained. "Sorry bro." I apologized, I helped Rigby back onto his feet. "Well, I'm just eating my sandwich." Rigby replied. "What kind of sandwich is that…?" I asked, sitting next to my friend. "Peanut Butter and Jelly, baby!" He laughed. "Ha, nice." I replied, chuckling. "What are you doing up though? Another one of those nightmares?" I asked.
"Uhh…no…" He lied. I obviously saw through his lie, but thought it was best not to pry away at Rigby's secrets. "Alright." I replied. "Okay…" Rigby replied, he was obviously surprised that I didn't care. "So, what are YOU doing up?" Rigby asked. "Had another nightmare, Jesus, they're becoming more and more realistic every time…" I replied.
"How much?" Rigby asked. "Well, the forest is becoming denser now, and…" I began.
Rigby's POV
"…I can't find anyone, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Mordecai finished. "Sounds scary." I replied, finishing my sandwich. "I'm gonna stay up, I don't feel like going back to bed." I said. "Me too." Mordecai replied. "Wanna play video games…?" Mordecai asked. "We can't Muscle Man and HFG are sleeping on the couch. "Well, let's wake them." I replied, walking over to the couch.
Mordecai followed me over to the couch. We looked at Muscle Man asleep. "I'm sure as hell glad he doesn't sleep fight anymore." Mordecai laughed. "Yeah." I replied. After waking HFG and Muscle Man, the two of them left the house back to their trailer, but not without exchanging some; "My mom!" jokes. "What game do you wanna play?" Mordecai asked. "Maybe Dig Champs?" I asked.
"Sure, let's start!" Mordecai started the game console. I picked Player one before he could even argue. "Damn, you're quick." Mordecai complimented me. "Ha!" I exclaimed. After a few minutes of Dig Champs, I became bored. Mordecai gave me a weird look. "Dude, what's wrong, you never get bored when you play video games!" Mordecai exclaimed. "Nothing's wrong." I lied.
"Dude, don't screw with me, I know something is wrong. Tell me, Tell me!" Mordecai shouted at me. I immediately became angry, I absolutely HATED being interrogated. I jumped off the couch and went out the front door. And just walked away.
Mordecai's POV
Shit, I shouldn't have pressured him, I don't mean to be a bit of an interrogator, I was just curious on what was wrong, I hate seeing my best friend depressed or bummed out.
"I better go after him…" I thought to myself. I turned off the game and went out the front door of the house. It was absolutely freezing outside, I ran back inside and grabbed a jacket, then walked back outside. After I slipped the jacket on I looked around for Rigby, but couldn't find him anywhere. After about an hour I was all out of ideas, I searched Skip's place, Muscle Man and HFG's trailer and the circus tent.
There was only one place where I thought he would be, his secret place. Only Rigby and I know where the secret place is. It was under a small and damaged bridge, hidden by some vines from a tree above. After a few seconds, I reached the secret place, I crawled under the bridge and saw Rigby sitting under the bridge. "Hey dude." I greeted. "What do you want?" Rigby asked. "I just wanted to apologize for getting into your affairs like that, I just hate seeing you depressed." I sighed.
"It's fine, sorry for over-reacting, I'm just stressed…" Rigby started to cry a little. I wiped a tear away from his eye. "Dude, don't cry, we'll figure something out." I replied, giving my friend a smile. "Now can we go back home now? It's freezing out here." I asked. "Yeah, let's go home." Rigby agreed. We walked back to the house and rested for a while. We fell asleep half-way through playing Dig Champs. Four hours later, a familiar voice woke us up from our sleep. "Get up you two! I don't pay you to sit down and slack off!" The voice shouted.
