A/N OMG! SAL HAS UPLOADED SOMETHING HERE?!
Yes, my friends! Sal is back after a loooooooooong ass hiatus and is ready to give it all!
Seriously! This took 9 rewrites! I had to scrap this chapter so many times that I just decided to leave for a bit to try other things.
So with that out of the way, let's get started!
Ch.2 Movie Night with My Mole
*Tick… Tock… Tick… Tock… Tick… Tock…*
Rigby opens his eyes to see himself floating in a blue whirlwind, watching clocks of multiple types, ranging from watches to wall clocks; from grandfather clocks to Big Ben.
"W-What the hell is this place?!" Rigby continued to float at the mercy of the whirlwind, helpless against it pull. The whirlwind began to change color as Rigby continued; now turning purple and becoming a room he could stand in. Suddenly he saw someone in the distance… someone red and back to him.
"Margaret…?" When he called her name, she looked back at him and smiled before disappearing in a silhouette with red eyes and disappearing completely; her eyes were the last thing to leave. The walls of the room broke away from each other, bringing him back to the blue whirlwind of clocks.
"O-ok… that's creepy!" Rigby continued to float with the whirlwind changing colors… this time to a red room. And just like the last time it changed, someone close to him appeared… only this time he wasn't alone.
"Guys!" All his co-workers then faced him and disappeared exactly how Margaret did. "What's going on here… what's happening to my friends?!" The room broke apart once more to the blue whirlwind. "What's next?!" Suddenly the whirlwind began to fade as a black room began to form. "On second thought… don't answer that…" He looked around but saw nothing. He looked left and right until suddenly and out of nowhere, Eileen appeared. "NO! Not you too!"
"Don't worry Rigby… Everything is going to be alright." As Eileen reached to touch Rigby, she started to age rapidly before turning to dust in front of Rigby. "Eileen!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"*gasp* Th-that laugh… No…"
In the distance he saw a sight all too familiar… CJ laughing at him.
"AHHHHHH!"
Rigby awoke in a cold sweat to the overpowering smell and sound of bacon cooking. He was back in the real world… and out of that nightmare. At least he had something pleasant to come back to. He looked at the clock to see it was around eleven o'clock.
"Eileen?" Rigby yelled, hoping for an answer.
"In the kitchen!" Like music to his ears. Rigby got off the couch and walked into the kitchen to see Eileen working diligently on breakfast, using chairs and small stairs to help her. "Morning Rigby!"
"Um… Morning Eileen."
"You ok?"
"Yeah! I'm fine! I'm just still a little sleep!" Rigby was quick to hide anything related to the nightmare behind a smile. Eileen wasn't convinced.
"I'm not buying it, Rigby. What's wrong?!"
"W-What…? H-How…?"
"Rigby… I'm a woman and I'm not an idiot. I've known you long enough to figure out when you're hiding something from me." Rigby had to give up if he wanted to salvage the conversation.
"*sigh* It's just a nightmare. It's nothing, really…" Rigby was keen on avoiding eye contact, though if he had looked at Eileen, he would've seen the worry in her face.
"Somehow I don't think it's nothing…" Eileen stepped down with two plates full of breakfast and handed one to Rigby. Rigby sat down at the table with Eileen sitting next to him. The two of them just sat in silence with Rigby more or less playing with his food. Eileen need to help get his mind off of what was bothering Rigby.
"Hey Rigby?" Rigby stopped making egg slice circles and looked up at Eileen. "Why don't we do something fun? To get you mind off of things." Rigby looked back down at his food.
"You know… that sounds nice," Eileen couldn't believe the change Rigby has gone through since they started dating. He was still a little on the immature side (especially when angered) but the change nevertheless had Mordecai astonished from time to time. "What do you have in mind?"
"Hmm… What could be fun…?" Eileen thought it over for a few moments. "Oh! There's a movie that came out last week that I think you'd like. It's a zombie movie!" Eileen waved her arms with enthusiasm which caused Rigby to start chuckling.
"You've got my attention."
"Then let's get to the video store! I'm sure they have a copy left!"
"Awesome!" Rigby and Eileen finish breakfast and headed out for the store. They got into Eileen's new blue car and Eileen drove them to the video store.
Rigby and Eileen arrived and walked in to find that it was unnaturally busy.
"When did this place get so popular?" Rigby asked looking at the small crowds of people.
"Maybe because it's Sunday and they want to get their movies before the week starts?" Eileen stated matter-of-factly. Rigby gave a mock growl in return.
Rigby and Eileen proceed to pick a few movies ranging from action movies to the zombie movie Eileen promised. Rigby was too busy looking for another good movie that he didn't notice Eileen putting another movie into the pile; a romantic movie. Obviously she had a great plan for her night with Rigby.
When they finally finished picking movies, they had a grand total of six including the romance and zombie movie, a scary movie, an action movie and two comedies. They had more than enough for a movie date and a half.
They got in line and luckily there was only one middle-aged woman left to go before they were next. Unfortunately for them…
"Would you like to sign up for our new rewards program?" The cashier behind the counter asked. It wasn't the same cashier that Rigby was used to seeing on a near weekly basis. It was a new woman who must have been just hired.
"Why yes I would!" The middle-aged woman stated happily.
"Ok, I need your phone number…"
"123-456-7890." The woman answered. She began to type in the keys when she stopped at three.
"123… what was the rest?" The cashier's inexperience began to show.
"456-7890." The woman repeated.
"Ok… Now I need your email address." Rigby sighed as he looked at Eileen and didn't want to embarrass her as she can be quite scary when angered.
"Iluvallmybestfriendstodeath at generic email dot com." Rigby almost groaned at the sound of the email. As the middle-aged woman spelled it out to the young cashier, Rigby was starting to lose his patience.
"I…"
"Ok…"
"L…"
"Ok…"
"Uv…"
"Got it…"
"All…"
"Oh my god, please just end this…" Rigby muttered under his breath.
"At generic email dot com." The woman was still smiling as if what she just did wasn't a complete waste of everyone's time.
"Ok just a few more things…" Rigby rolled his eyes and considered banging his head against whatever was close to him. He leaned over to whisper into Eileen's ear…
"What are they going to make her do next, recite her entire medical history from memory?!" Eileen giggled a little from the joke.
"Probably…" When the woman was finished giving away every piece of information possible, Rigby and Eileen made whatever effort they could to get out of there before the line of people behind them decide to kill them. They grabbed their movies and walked back to the car discussing why shopping had become so obnoxious because of all the things you need to do nowadays.
"My god what has shopping become?" Eileen said getting in.
"Seriously, what're they going to ask for next, blood?! Note to self: Never go to the video store on a Sunday ever again." Rigby and Eileen were both laughing as their conversation spiraled. Before they knew it, they were already at the apartment. Rigby and Eileen walked upstairs to their place and walked in.
"I can't wait to watch these movies!" Rigby said looking at the stack he set down on the coffee table.
"While I go change into something comfortable, why don't you make some popcorn?" Eileen said with a smile.
"Ok," Rigby walked into the kitchen to find the popcorn, while Eileen left to change into her night wear.
"Huh… I don't know why… but I feel like Eileen just got me to go on another date with her without me knowing it," Rigby shook his head as he through the popcorn in the microwave and punched in some random number. "That woman is scary good…" Rigby looked at the clock and saw that it was a little past noon. He walked into the living room and picked up the movie on the top of the stack. It was the action movie titled "Awesomeness Incarnate".
"So, what are we watching first?" Rigby turned around to see Eileen dressed in what she normally used for pajamas.
"Uh… 'Awesomeness In… carnet'?" Rigby wasn't one-hundred percent sure he said that right.
"Hmm… Sounds promising!" Eileen said, jumping onto the couch as she said it.
"It better… I don't want this to be another 'The Best VHS in The World'!" Rigby joked putting the movie in. Since Eileen owned a DVD player, they got solely movies on DVD.
Rigby walked over and sat next to Eileen who shuffled close to him as he pressed play on the remote. They watched the movie from the beginning to the end with them both enjoying it and poking fun at the movie. They made joke responses to various things that the characters would say like they were making an instant parody.
They kept going down the pile in order from top to bottom with the comedies being next. Rigby fell to the floor laughing at the first movie while Eileen asked if he was alright before joining in the laughter. The next movie wasn't as funny but was worth the watch to them. The next movie was the scary movie titled "Broken Glass". Rigby smirked as he read the title. He picked the movie himself because he knew what would happen.
"Hey Eileen, look!" Rigby held up the disk, making sure the title was in full view, "A scary movie!" He knew she didn't like those kinds of movies and it didn't help that it was now nighttime.
"H-How bad could it be?" Eileen put on a brave face as Rigby's smirk never left his face. He put the DVD in and sat down next to Eileen and pressed play.
The movie started out slow and progressed as such. Rigby was starting to regret getting the movie until it started to obtain a creepy atmosphere. Strange sounds with no explanation, false jump scares, and objects moving and breaking on their own. It was during a scene where the lead was walking down a hallway slowly that Rigby looked at Eileen who looked like she was bracing herself for something. Another smirk found its way to Rigby's face. Just before the lead reached the end of the hallway…
"GAH!" Rigby shouted next to Eileen causing her to jump off the couch.
"RIGBY!"
"HAHAHA!" Rigby lied on his back laughing, proud of his handiwork. Eileen then jumped back on the couch and tackled Rigby when he sat up and they started laughing in their mock struggle, completely forgetting the movie. After their fun was done they sat through the movie comfortably with Eileen actually laughing at the scares instead of being frightened by them. Once the movie was over, Rigby got up to put the last one in but stopped the second he read the title…
"'Just Another Impossible Romance'?!" Rigby groaned and looked at Eileen who just shrugged. He reluctantly put the disc in and pressed play. When he sat on the couch, Eileen shuffled as close as she could get to Rigby, placing a hand on his chest and resting her head on his shoulder. Rigby put his arm around her and gently held her close. He was getting better at being romantic but wasn't the best in his mind.
Though the movie made Rigby want to throw up, he figured he might as well suffer if Eileen would have a good time and from where he was sitting, she was having a great time with a bright smile on her face. When the movie was over, Rigby looked to the clock to see it was ten at night. He looked to Eileen who still had her smile on.
"Hey Rigby?" She said looking back at him. She seemed to have more of a smirk this time.
"Hmm?"
"I just realized something; we haven't gotten to try the new bed I bought. What do you say we break it in?" Eileen suggested with a sultry voice. Rigby caught her drift and followed her as she pulled him to the bedroom for a memorable night…
A/N Anyone who wants to make the lemon for me, be my guest because I got to keep the rating where it is and I'm not making one scene ruin it.
Want to know a little fun fact: The rewards program joke actually happened to me not long before I finished this chapter. Had to cheat a little on the email just to get past Fanfiction's stupidity.
I would also like to thank NeoNimbus for helping me get this done. True friend if I've ever seen one.
Yes I moved me responding to guest reviews down here:
575: I only function based on what I can come up with. If it takes me a few months to write a chapter… then that's life. But since you're begging…
Guest #2: Sorry…
21SidraCire: You sound like there's a problem and have no idea what it is.
Guest #1: Thank you for the confidence boost and the nice words.
Till next time: PLZ review, fav, follow, and all that good stuff and I'll see you guys next September (JK... I hope)! Sal out!
