Here is Chapter 2. I'm proud of myself for making this story longer than my others. It's always been hard for me, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Hope you like it, and tell me what you think.
"Dude, let's call it a day." Rigby said wiping sweat off his forehead. Mordecai threw down the rake.
"Yeah, I think we did pretty well this time." Mordecai said looking prideful at their work. Benson walked outside then.
"Oh no you don't. You are going to finish your work and- do…it...right?" Benson looked at the two's work. He was surprised they did a good job. "Wow, I'm impressed, nice job Mordecai and Rigby."
The two of them looked at their boss in awe, he actually approved of their work. It was probably because they did the work while thinking about Margaret and Eileen. They did their work without question when they had something to think about. "Thanks Benson." Mordecai said. Benson grunted and left to go to his apartment.
Mordecai and Rigby walked up the step slowly exhausted after all the work and opened the door. "Dude grab the sodas, I'll order a pizza and we can play video games." Rigby said.
"Yeahyuh! Normally I would say I'm to beat, but tonight I'm going to party it up in here!" Mordecai replied running into the kitchen, and coming back in a second with a 6 pack of Coca Cola.
"OOOOOOH!" They chanted. Rigby called the pizza guy.
"Yeah, is this Charco's? Yeah I need 3 large meat trio pizzas! Thanks!" Rigby hung up the phone then got the video games set up.
Mordecai cracked open 2 sodas, handed one to Rigby, and started playing video games. Thirty minutes later the doorbell rang. "I got it!" Mordecai ran to the door. Outside was a guy in his late twenties with 3 pizzas in his hand.
"Yo man, here you go, that'll be $19.99." The pizza man said.
Mordecai pulled out a 20 dollar bill and handed it to the pizza man. "Keep the change as a tip." Mordecai took the pizzas from the guy who was rolling his eyes. Once the door was shut they both started laughing like crazy.
"Oh dude that guy is going to go home crying to his mommy!" Rigby said. Mordecai nodded his head.
"Yeah he is! OOOH!" Mordecai replied. They dug into the pizza and within an hour all the pizza was gone.
"Let's play one more game of Zombie Pile Up, and then go to bed." Rigby said. He took a drink of his last soda. Mordecai yawned agreeing.
"Dude you suck at this game I'm so going to beat you." Mordecai taunted his friend. Rigby was pounding on all the buttons.
"No! I got this." After Rigby said that the TV flashed saying 'Game Over.' Rigby sat back on the couch and pouted.
"Don't be like that man. Let's see our scores. OOOOH! I killed 478 zombies in 2 minutes." Mordecai said, but then he stifled a laugh when he saw Rigby's score. "Only 11 Zombies? Fail dude." Rigby punched Mordecai, but it didn't hurt.
"Stop Talking!" Rigby yelled. Mordecai shut down the game, and threw away their trash.
"Come on dude, we better get to sleep." Rigby trudged upstairs with Mordecai following behind him. In their room Rigby jumped into his pile of clothes on his trampoline. Mordecai turned off the light next to his bed.
About fifteen minutes after Mordecai already fell asleep Rigby woke him up. "Dude, do you think Eileen will say yes?" Mordecai rolled on his side.
"Yeah she will, she already likes you. I'm more worried if
Margaret will say yes; she doesn't seem like she's interested in me." Rigby thought about this.
The raccoon smiled. "She will I promise you that, she's interested and you just don't know it. Margaret and you are meant to be." He said. Then he followed with, "When I ask Eileen out, I'm going to be all like 'Hey baby, what to you say to dinner.' Yeah; you think that'll work?" He said confidently.
Mordecai laughed, "No dude, you need to be casual, like this, 'Hey uh, Margaret would you like to go to dinner tonight?" He said. Rigby made fake gagging noises.
"Dude you sound like a wimp." Rigby laughed at him, "We'll see tomorrow, my way is way better than yours." Mordecai rolled on his other side then yawned.
"Whatever man, go to sleep." Rigby didn't say anything, but was up most of the night with butterflies in his stomach.
Margaret woke up with the sun shining in her room. She had forgotten to close the blinds last night with Eileen coming over. Margaret looked at her alarm clock, 7:32. She got up and made her bed, and by made her bed she threw the comforter up to the top.
Then Margaret got into the shower. When she got out she put on her normal work clothes, but put on a shiny necklace. Then she did her makeup and put black and blue eyeliner on, and a deep red lipstick. She thought Mordecai would like this. She put a little bit of glitter in her hair, and grabbed her purse, then walked out the door to her car.
At the coffee shop she put on her apron and got to work. It was 11:53, which means she had about less than 30 minutes before Mordecai and Rigby showed up. She was too busy thinking about Mordecai she didn't realize the customer waiting on her.
"Excuse me Ma'am?" The older gentleman said. He wore brown pant, and a brown jacket with a black hat. He had white mustache and glasses. Margaret pulled out her notepad.
"I'm sorry sir, can I take your order." The next 30 minutes went by real slowly. Eileen came in a few minutes after she served the older man.
"Hey Margaret, you look really nice. I wouldn't be surprised if Mordecai complimented you on it." Eileen said with a wink. Margaret smiled and rolled her eyes. Just then Mordecai and Rigby came into the restaurant.
"Hey guys, the usual?" Margaret asked them.
"Yeah, sounds great. Margaret, um, you uh… you know, look really...nice today." Mordecai said as he was nervous and said it awkwardly. Margaret laughed.
"Thanks Mordecai." She walked to the back and got busy with their food.
"Dude that was a fail!" Rigby yelled. Mordecai slapped him, and then face palmed.
"I know dude, I know, but she looks great and I got so nervous. Anyway, when are you going to make your move?" Mordecai asked Rigby. Rigby shifted uncomfortably.
"I don't know. Next time she comes over I will." Rigby said determinedly. Right then Eileen came over with coffee in her hands. She set down the cups.
"Next time who comes over?" The mole said. Rigby gulped and Mordecai looked at him expectantly.
"Oh uh… It's a video game." Eileen took this as an answer.
"Cool, I bet it's fun." She said, and Mordecai wouldn't' stop staring at Rigby. Rigby wiped the sweat nervously off his forehead.
"Hey Eileen, can I ask you something?" Eileen raised her eyebrows gesturing for him to continue. "Would you like to go to dinner with me Friday night?" A bright smile lit up Eileen's face.
"I'd love too, pick me up at 7." Then she walked away. Rigby ran to the bathroom to hurl. When he came back Mordecai gave him a good pound on the pack.
"Nice job man, I didn't think you could do it." Mordecai looked happily at his friend.
Rigby sighed, "Yeah, now you have to ask out Margaret. You're going to chicken out aren't you?" He said with the same look Mordecai had had on his face. Mordecai's eyes widened, reality just hit him in the face.
"Oh yeah, no I'm confident, what's the worst that could happen. She rejects me and we stay good friends." Mordecai regained his composure. Margaret came over and put down the food in front of them.
"Here you go guys. Nice job Rigby, you two have fun on your date." Margaret said which made Rigby blush. He shouldn't be surprised that Eileen told Margaret, but he still felt weird. Margaret turned around, but not before she smiled at Mordecai.
Mordecai mastered all the confidence he could, "Margaret wait!" He yelled.
"Yes Mordecai?" Margaret got hopeful. Rigby elbowed Mordecai when he was quiet.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to the arcade and dinner on Saturday night?" Mordecai gulped.
Margaret smiled, and was about to jump up and down with joy, but realized she was in public. "Yes!" She blurted out, but then said, "I mean, sure I guess." She tried her best to put on a bored expression.
"Great, I'll pick you up at 6 then." He said, Margaret just smiled and walked away.
"Wow dude! You didn't chicken this time, I'm proud." Rigby said as Mordecai rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, but dude the bet is off, we have the date, and if they find out they'll think it was just a game." Mordecai explained to Rigby.
"Fine, I wonder what they're talking about in there." Rigby said.
"Oh my gosh! Are you serious?" Eileen asked Margaret. She nodded.
"It's weird how they asked us out on the same day. They probably planned it in order to boost their confidence." Margaret said, but she was still doing her happy dance.
"Yeah, but we still got dates! Friday cannot come fast enough. It's only Tuesday, and I'm so excited." Eileen said.
"Me too, but we need to play it cool. We don't want them to think we're overexcited girls who are obsessed with them." The robin said. "I love how Mordecai knew that I love video games."
Eileen shrugged, "Yeah, he probably knew because of that time we were all there, and you beat that one pro guy." Margaret laughed.
"That guy wasn't pro I'll tell you that." Eileen laughed as well. Then they got back to work and held in all their excitement.
Okay, I think I'm getting pretty good with this stuff. Keep reviewing and stuff. Hawkmeister out
