Just a Regular Dad
Okay so here is my next fanfic. The wait has been a little long but this story will be worth it, this one will also be considerably longer than my last story. It's the first part of the RegularShock series, even though this one has nothing to do with the underwater city were the next one will be set.
"Dude! How are you this bad?" Mordecai taunted his best friend Rigby.
"I'm not bad so STOP TALKING!" Rigby shouted in his defense.
"Rigby, you've been on the first level for the past two hours! We're wasting our day off!"
"Come on! Maybe if you would help me we'd be on level two!"
"Rigby...There's fifty-two levels."
Just then the phone rang, interrupting their heated discussion.
"Pops will probably get it." Rigby said, not looking away from his game.
"Dude, no one else is home, I'll get it"
"Come on man!"
"Someone has answer it." Mordecai said getting off of the couch to answer it. Mordecai walked into the kitchen and picked up the phone, "Hello."
"Hello Mordecai it's been a while." Said the caller in a raspy voice. Mordecai gulped, really hoping this wasn't who he thought it was. Rigby paused his game and joined his friend in the kitchen to listen to the conversation. Rigby became extremely worried when he saw Mordecai pail as paper, holding the phone.
"Who may I ask is calling." Mordecai spoke into the phone.
"Don't you recognize me? Well, I'm your old man."
Mordecai dropped the phone and fell against the wall, gasping for breath. Rigby picked up the phone and handed it back to his friend, "Thanks' Rigby." Mordecai whispered, putting the phone back to his ear.
"Hey Dad."
"How ya doin' Mordo?"
"Uh...Okay I guess"
"Still the same good for nothin' slacker?"
"Uh...Why did you call dad?"
"Just wanted to talk to my eldest son."
"And?" Mordecai asked knowing his father had more to say.
"I'm coming up, I've met someone and I want to get married."
"Why here?"
"Because I'm going to kick your ass...and The Park is a great place to get married."
"I guess I'll see you later then." Mordecai said, hanging up the phone.
"Mordecai was that your freaking dad?" Rigby asked, astonished.
"Yeah, the SOB is coming up here to get married and he wants to kick my ass again."
"Dude what are you going to do?"
"I don't know man, I don't know."
"How about we go visit the Coffee Shop and get some Joe. I'm sure that would cheer you up."
Mordecai nodded then followed Rigby outside to were the Golf cart was kept. Throughout the entire walk he just kept telling himself that getting out would be good for him.
"So what's the deal with your dad anyways?" Rigby asked curiously. Normally Mordecai would drive the cart and Rigby figured he'd have to be pretty upset to not want to drive.
"We don't see eye to eye, me and him."
"So whacha gonna do?"
"Not exist while he's in town."
"Good luck with that."
"Thanks' Rigby, you always know what to say." Mordecai said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. While Rigby stayed in the cart and tried to figure out how to park it Mordecai went into the Coffee Shop and sat in their usual seats. Once Rigby found the parking brake he was able to park the cart and join his friend in the Coffee Shop. "Mordecai, what actually happened between you and your dad?" Rigby asked taking his seat next to the Jay. He and Mordecai told each other everything and Mordecai's secrecy was really bothering him. Whenever Mordecai's dad came to visit Mordecai went into hiding, it had been that way for as long as Rigby could remember and he didn't like it.
"Dude! I really don't want to talk about it!"
"Mordecai tell me what happened!"
"No."
Rigby realized Mordecai really didn't want to talk about his past so he dropped the conversation and the two sat in silence until Margaret came to take their orders. "May I take your orders guys?" She asked, resting her arms on the table. Then she noticed Mordecai was looking down and asked "What's wrong Mordecai?"
"Nothing."
"Dude, you can tell me."
"It's just my dad is coming up and he's a dick so I'm gonna have to hide for the next few days."
Margaret looked at him sadly, knowing how close she was to her father, but she jumped the gun on herself and said, "Why don't you come crash at my place?"
"Really?" Mordecai's eyes lit up with excitement, "Cause I don't have to."
"Oh sure, you can sleep on the couch." She said, trying to make him feel welcome.
"Thanks' Margaret." He said getting out of his chair and hugging her. Margaret blushed a little and Mordecai realized he was embarrassing her so he let go and sat back down. When Margaret left to fill the duo's orders Rigby asked, "Dude, since when have you been able to talk to chicks?"
"Since right now Bay-Be!"
The two shared a laugh, then Margaret returned with their coffees Mordecai explained he would bring his stuff over to her apartment after he got out of work. Margaret also insisted on having a 'welcoming party' for Mordecai so she invited Rigby and Eileen over for diner. "I told you going to the Coffee Shop would cheer you up Mordecai. Look you're even smiling!" Rigby exclaimed, happy that Mordecai was smiling for the first time that day. The two best friends left the Coffee Shop for The Park in sheer laughter.
