Let me start by saying, I do not own/claim any part of "regular show", including, but not limited to, characters, settings, or events, which are owned by J.G. Quintel and/ or Cartoon Network.

This is my first fanfic, so I assume it won't be my best work. But please review with suggestions/ comments/criticisms. I will be trying to update a new chapter every month. If I upload any late, I apologize in advance.

"Where am I?" Mordecai yelled as he woke, unable to move.

He looked around and saw a table with many,menacing tools on it. A dark figure appears and starts to sort through the vile instruments. He picks up a saw-like object, examines it closely, and begins to wipe it.

"Dude, what the hell is going on here? Hello! What are you going to do wi..."

"CAN YOU SHUT UP... I am trying to decide something... "

"Well, can you let me out of here? This place is creeping me out."

"I will do as I please, and you cannot make me do any differently! Do you understand?!"

"Bu..."

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

" Ya dude, just chill."

" DON'T YOU TELL ME TO 'CHILL'! I WILL KILL YOU IF I HEAR ANOTHER SOUND COME FROM YOU! UNDERSTAND?"

Mordecai quickly nodded.

-how did I get into this mess- Mordecai thought as he sat in his chair, waiting to see what the psychopath was up to.

The person then turned to Mordecai and began looking back and forth between the confused bird, and the weapons on the table. Then he turned back.

At that moment, Mordecai realized he had to escape... Fast! He looked at his arms and saw they were bound around about 3 times wit duct tape. He looked to his legs and saw the same thing, about 3 layers of duct tape. It seemed cheap and easy to break.

The predator then turned around again, just after Mordecai sat back. He eyed him suspiciously , and turned back to his business. Mordecai then decided to wait and see how long before the creature looked at him again.

...

"Ok, one minute" he thought to himself

...

"Two minutes " he said silently to himself

He continued to do his until he counted to 5 minutes before the figure turned to look at him again.

He repeated this process, and again counted five minutes.

He waited another five minutes, as time began to seem to slow down. Seconds felt like hours. So he waited for what seemed like finally the shady figure quickly glanced at him, and looked back at his work.

Mordecai then pulled T the tape, which already started to rip quietly. He the. Pulled slightly harder and broke the tape quickly. He then did the same with his legs. He got up quietly and tiptoed a good 25 yards before he started to assess how much time he had left. He thought, " I probably have a good two minutes to get out of here before he notices I'm gone"

He then begins jogging out of there. He's a good 350 yards away when he hears"WHAT THE HELL!"

He looks back and sees the creature basically flying at him... With a meat cleaver! He runs faster, but not fast enough. The creature quickly catches up and tackles Mordecai to the ground. He rolls over and looks up, to see the psychopath raising his weapon and ...

"NOO..."

The shade strikes him in the heart.

The creature then starts saying" Mordecai, you okay?" Sarcastically

"Mordecai? Mordecai?"

"Mordecai! Mordecai!?Are you okay?!"

The a avian opens his eyes to see his bro, Rigby, shaking him awake shouting" Mordecai, are you okay?"

"Ya dude, I'm fine. Why?"

" You were yelling 'NOO' and it scared me. I'm glad your ok, I thought you were gonna have a heart attack or something"

Mordecai thought to himself' phew, it was just a dream. I wonder what it meant."

The startled blue jay looked at the clock '7:83'

Oh good, it's only 7:83... Wait, what. That's not a time. He checks the clock again'7:33' Oh, my mind must be playing tricks on me.

"Wait, dude,"... It's 7:30, we were supposed to meet Benson thirty minutes ago!"

"Uuuuhhhhhhh. Why do we always have to get up so early..."

"I don't know dude, but lets be happy it's Friidayyy."

And they both say in unison" oooooohhhhh" while waving their hands in the air as usual.

They both get ready quickly and head downstairs. They run out the door and head to meet Benson near the smack bar.

When they get there, Benson is sitting at one of he tables mumbling to himself" why are those damn slackers always late? It's already" he checks his watch "7:45, and they are nowhere to be seen"!

" Heeyyy Benson" Mordecai says as he approaches the gum ball machine, which was turning red with anger.

" Where were you guys? You were supposed to be here over 30 minutes ago! What is wrong with you guys?"

"Well, we thought that it was tomar..." Mordecai quickly punches Rigby in the arm with a quick "oowww" as a response. He then tells Benson the truth.

" We slept in" Mordecai explains, trying to avoid his best friends being caught in another lie."

"Well, while you two were up there having 'sweet dreams', I was forced to do your jobs for you! Now get back there and start doing your jobs, or YOUR FIRED!"

"Ok. Ok. Yeesh." Says Rigby as he runs on all fours into the serving area.

Mordecai stays with Benson for a while and tells him how it won't happen again.

"It better not, or next time, I will fire you!" And with that, the red-faced gum ball machine storms off.

Mordecai then calmly walked into the stand and tells Rigby" dude, if we're late again, benson says he'll fire us for sure!"

"Dude, calm down he says hat every time. If we're late again, I'm sure he will just yell at us again"

"I don't know man, we better not risk it. I think it's time we step up our game and show Benson that we can work hard"

" uuuhhhh. I don't want to. He probably wouldn't even notice."

"Dude, slack all you want, but I'm gonna show him I can work hard. If you want to be fired, that's up to you. Are you with me or not?"

"Fine, fine. I'll 'wake up early' and 'do my chores on time' and kiss his ass with you."

Mordecai punches his friends lightly and laughs at Rigby's joke. "So, after our shift lets play sumo figh... I mean ask Benson if there are any more chores we can do?" The bird asks his raccoon friend.

"Uuhhh. Fine"

Mordecai thinks to himself 'this is gonna be a long day!'
