AN: KIND OF IMPORTANT:
Hello again everyone. More in depth AN at the bottom.
This was an idea I've had in my head for a while: a Five (or six) way Cross-over! Regular Show, Adventure Time, Penguins of Madagascar, and Chowder all mixed in one giant cross-over with Homestuck! (with a potential sixth fandom).
When the grand story finally comes out, it'll be labeled in the Homestuck x Misc. Cartoons category because of how many fandoms it will bridge. However, very few people would read that (at least very few from the crowds I am attracting).
So this is the first of a series of Five one-shot "teasers" that establish the characters and entice the readers' interests.
Enjoy!
I do not own Homestuck as those rights belong to Andrew Hussie nor do I own Regular Show whose rights belong to Cartoon Network and JG Quintel.
The bright sun shines through window of an untidy bedroom on an unsuspecting day. Its inhabitants groan and roll around in their beds in a poor effort to avoid the unforgivable light.
"Ughhhhh, it's too early for this, man," mutters Rigby the raccoon from his dirty trampoline bed.
His friend Mordecai the blue jay rubs his eyes and responds, "Just shut the blinds and let me go back..." He trails off as he passes out.
Rigby looks at the clock. It's almost eight o' clock! They slept right through their alarms! "Dude!" Rigby yells breaking Mordecai's snoring.
"Agh! What! What is it?!" Mordecai responds sharply glancing quickly around the room.
"We're late for work!" the raccoon screams as he throws himself from his trampoline and rushes into the shower to get ready. Benson's threats of firing the two usually result in absolutely nothing. This time, Benson threatened to take away their cart privileges if they are late again. Without a cart, there was no way he could go the coffee shop and see Eil-er-get some lates. Plus there's Cheezers, the arcade, the movies, and practically everything else that's interesting.
As the shower turns on and the sound of water rushing through pipes becomes audible, Mordecai simply smirks and lays back in his bed. "Can't believe he forgot it's Saturday," he mutters to himself before drifting off once again.
Ten minutes later, Rigby comes waltzing out of the bathroom with a towel on. He motions to once again wake up his best friend before glancing at the calender on the closet door. Of course, he had to check the calender. In seven days his long anticipated game will come out. He has counted down the days for weeks. Then he finally checks the date and realizes he just wasted a good Saturday morning. He groans loudly and plops back on his bed. He tosses and turns for a total of ten minutes before realizing there was no way he could drift off yet again. His stress fit left him groggy and tired yet wide awake.
Giving up, Rigby trudges through the hallways to the computer. Seeing nothing better to do, he might as well start chatting up some of his bros.
With a great big yawn, Rigby clicks on the "Pesterchum" labeled icon on his desktop. This is supposed to be the latest and greatest innovation of instant messaging, but whatever. It's passe. They've only had this installed for around a month but Rigby has already met some awesome friends... and some lame ones as well.
Looks like someone's online. Rigby smirks at the name before opening up the chat window.

Rigby looks at the popup menu. The name reads CG. Oh boy, not this again.
The raccoon sighs, takes a bite out of his toast, and opens up the horrible conversation. Oddly enough, no time is ever stated and the "pestering" line has been replaced.

CG: HEY DUMBASS!
CG: JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU HOW YOU'RE ALL GOING TO ROYALLY SHIT EVERYTHING UP.
CG: DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT POINTY EARED BASTARD THAT RUINS THE ENTIRE SESSION FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH OF AN IGNORANT DUMBASS HE IS.
CG: ALSO, YOU'RE A TOTAL ASSHOLE IDIOT WHO IS GOING TO DRIVE EVERYTHING STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND.
RW: Didn't I block you like ages ago, what the F man?
CG: THAT'S BECAUSE YOUR ANTHROPOMORPHIC FURRY INFERIOR BRAIN DOESN'T REALIZE THAT I'M NOT ON EARTH.
RW: Okay, like what are you even talking about?
RW: Are you high?
RW: Like everytime we talk it's like crack-up creek behind the high school all over again
CG: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** YOU ARE SAYING BUT YES I AM VERY HIGH. I AM SO MUCH HIGHER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE. WHEN YOU HAVE DREAMS OF BECOMING SOMETHING REALLY BIG AND HIGH I'LL JUST BE THERE TO SHIT ON YOUR SHITPARADE AND LAUGH AT YOUR FAILURE BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER BE AS HIGH AS I AM RIGHT NOW!
CG; AND WHY THE F*** AM I GETTING BLEEPED OUT?!
RW: hehe
RW: ow wow
RW: I don't know why I ever tried to block you to begin with
RW: You're hilarious man
RW: You're the failure who keeps harrassing me all day with no life and no girlfriend
CG: F*** YOU!
CG: F***!
CG: F***!
RW: Oh shit that's it! You got lady problems!
RW: What, did your middle school crush turn you down?
RW: she laughed at your plastic flowers then sat on your face?
CG: EW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND SICK MATING RITUALS YOU DO BUT TROLL ROMANCE IS SO MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED ON EVERY LEVEL. LIKE IT WOULD TAKE YEARS DISCUSSING THE VERY NATURE OF OUR COURTSHIP THAT YOU WOULD STILL BE LEFT DROOLING LIKE THE INSUFFERABLE PRICK YOU ARE.
CG: AND I DON'T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS THANK YOU.
CG: *F*** YOU.
RW: Wow... that's the saddest yet funniest thing I've seen all day.
CG: WHATEVER, JUST TELL ME HOW TO TURN OFF THIS STUPID *** THING OFF
RW: never gonna happen.
RW: Also, "troll" me whenever you want. You are so stupidly funny it hurts
CG: WHATEVER YOUR F***ING FURFAG. DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE TROLLING YOU A LOT IN THE FUTURE AND MAKING YOU "MY BITCH" AS YOU EARTHLINGS SAY.
CG: AND SOONER OR LATER ONE OF YOU SHITBIRDS NEEDS TO REALIZE I'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP!
RW: Help what? Help you realize how much of a idiot loser you are?
RW: WOOOAAAHHHHHH!
CG: WHAT? THAT INSULT WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD.
CG: WHATEVER. UNFORTUNATELY, I'LL TALK TO YOU WHENEVER THIS ALL STARTS ROLLING.

What a loser. What an idiot! God, just listening to that prick talk can boil blood.
Rigby frustratingly eats more oats. There's no real way to look threatening munching down brown sugar covered oatmeal, yet he at least tries by quickly shoving spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. That kid, whoever he is, is the absolute worst.
The raccoon tries to brush it behind him.
Just then, another chat request pops up. Rigby smiles quickly. This kid may too naive or young but he's just so loveable, it's kind of hard to hate him. Of course, this big heterosexual macho raccoon action hero doesn't mean that in a relationship way.
- lunacornDreamer [LD] began pestering radicalWrestler [RW] at 8:39 -
LD: Rigby, are you there?
LD: Rigby?
LD: ?
RW: Woah, I'm here. Where's the fire?
LD: I'm not feeling very chippah right now :(
RW: What's wrong little dude?
LD: It's that one troll meany.
RW: Oh my god what did he do...
As Rigby proceeds to indulge in attempting to cheer up one of his best online friends, he couldn't help but recall what that idiot was talking about. Granted, he was insane and borderline retarded, but there was something about CG that stuck on Rigby's mind. What was he talking about when he'd mess everything up? Mess what up?!
He knew that the "pointy eared bastard" was Jake's friend, but what all else did he mean? How on earth was he going to "help"? Help with what?
Whatever that probably crack-heavy kid was talking about, something didn't sit right with the little raccoon. Some raw feeling ate at his gut. Does this all have something to do with that SBURB game...?
LD: Hello?
LD: Rigby, are you there? :'(
RW: Oh, yeah Private, I'm here.
RW: Sorry, lost my train of thought.
Rigby looks out the window, gazing at the creeping sun in the sky. This was going to be a long week of waiting...
AN2: It feels good to be back, but still very straining. Lately I've been slammed with everything under the sun. I just needed something to get my drive back and get me back to writing. I hope this was enough.
Of course, more characters from each fandom will be in it. Right now I'm just setting everything up. The rest of the Private-Rigby conversation will be in the PoM one-shot as will all the other major dialogue. I am still really excited for the project as a whole. I will try my best to explain the inner workings of Homestuck to the best of my ability so any unfamiliar/new readers will not be confused or discouraged.
For HS fans, this grand tale will replace the BETA session. So all of the trolls will be in this series, but the main four kids have been replaced by twelve characters from the four fandoms.
With all this said, I have no idea how far this will go. Right now this is a side project. I may never complete the final story, but I guarantee I will release all of the one-shots and at least start the major story.
Anyway, thank you so much for reading this quick one shot. What do you think so far and will you be willing to read the final story when it comes out? What do you think is going to happen and who are going to be the other SBURB players?
