Okay who's ready to see what happens next. Ok this is introducingthe OC. Now when you read it remeber she is only attracted to Mordecai a little,and he doesn't have feelings towards her...yet :)

It was August, 5 months since the accident. Everyone had given Mordecai some slack, but after 5 months it was starting to get on people's nerves.

Benson was having Rigby do twice the work now without Mordecai. He wasn't too happy about that, but didn't complain as much as he normally would have. Benson threatened to take Mordecai's job away if he didn't get back to work soon.

Mordecai didn't talk to anyone very much. A call from Eileen about once a week, he'd only acknowledge Benson, and he talked to Rigby every once in a while. Other than that he laid in his bed most days, drinking stale tap water, and only eating dry cereal.

Rigby got out of bed on his day off. He saw Mordecai asleep curled up in the blanket around his waist. "Mordecai!" Rigby threw a pillow at him. Nothing. Rigby was tired of this so he got on Mordecai's bed and started jumping around by Mordecai's head.

Mordecai jerked out of bed. "Ahh! Rigby, what are you doing?!" Mordecai pushed Rigby into a pile of clothes on the ground. Rigby stood up laughing as he brushed a dirty sock off of him.

"Come on let's do something today!" He said. Mordecai rolled on his side facing away from Rigby.

"Oh I know, how about nothing." Mordecai said in a smart-alecky tone. Rigby rolled his eyes at his friends depressing dry humor.

"Dude, it's been 5 months, and as I expect you to still be kind of sad about it, because it'll be like that for years, but not totally depressed. You haven't worked in almost half a year, you haven't eaten any real food for a while, and I'm starting to think you have forgotten what fun is. Also you need to take a shower; twice a week is not enough." Rigby said. Mordecai looked like he was actually considering this.

Mordecai sighed, "Fine, what did you have in mind? And remember I'm only doing this to stretch my legs." Rigby started getting so excited. He missed bro time.

Rigby jumped up in the air and fist pumped. "Alright! Ok so two months ago a new movie store opened up, and I've been dying to go to it, but I wanted us to go together. So I was thinking we rent a whole bunch of movies, order pizza, and drink radi-cola!"

Mordecai shrugged and trudged into the bathroom to take a shower. Rigby ran downstairs, and then back up to grab his wallet. It took Mordecai 45 minutes, but he finally got out of the shower. The two grabbed their jackets, and went to the cart.

Rigby drove while Mordecai just sat there. No frown, no smile, his beak was just straight, but his eyes were sad. Rigby felt bad for him, but knew he needed to get out, and he knew for a fact Benson would back him up on that.

They drove past the Coffee Shop, or what used to be the Coffee Shop. "Rigby?" Mordecai asked.

"Oh yeah, after… you know… there weren't enough workers, and they couldn't find anyone to take the job so they eventually went out of business." Rigby went a little faster to get by the store. Mordecai wiped a single tear away.

"Why didn't Eileen tell me?" Mordecai asked.

"She was afraid you'd get too sad." Rigby said as he pulled up by "DVD Party Town". Mordecai had a confused look on his face.

He got out of the cart. "DVDs? But we only have a DVR." He said.

Rigby had a surprised look on his face. "Oh yeah I forgot to tell you we have a DVD player now so we can watch newer movies." The two walked in and Mordecai just walked slowly dragged himself behind Rigby as he grabbed a ton of movies.

The two made their way to the counter where a blue jay was bent over looking at a box of movies. She was organizing them. The blue jay stood up. "Hi welcome to DVD Party Town, are you guys new?"

Rigby put the stack of movies on the counter. "Yeah, does this store have member cards?" He asked.

"Yes, but you can't until you've come twice, so let me get your names. And those movies are going to be $20.39." The blue jay said.

"I'm Rigby, and this is Mordecai." Rigby said pulling the money out of his wallet. The girl started looking at Mordecai.

"Hi I'm Raine." Mordecai rolled his eyes. She stuck out her hand, but Mordecai just looked at it. Rigby handed her the money. He decided to try and be kind.

Rigby took Raine's hand. "Thank you, I'm sorry about him." He said narrowing his eyes at Mordecai. Mordecai just ignored him.

Raine shook Rigby's hand. "You're welcome, would you guys like a sticker." She said as she pulled out a bin and placed one on her own shirt.

Mordecai finally spoke. "How old do you think we are? How old are you?" Raine looked a bit offended by Mordecai, but she got over it and was back to her giddy self.

Raine took a look at the two. "I don't know, 24? I'm 22." Before Mordecai could say anything else rude Rigby stepped in.

"We're actually 23, and sure I'll take a sticker, and so will he." Rigby didn't like acting so mature and responsible, but Mordecai was acting like him. She handed them stickers, and Rigby took his, while Mordecai stared at it for a second before walking out of the store.

"I'm sorry, his girlfriend died in a car accident about 6 months ago. I finally got him out of bed today." Rigby explained. Raine looked sad this time.

"Oh, that's so sad." Rigby smiled at the blue jay. She was almost childlike, but also mature.

"Well thank you." Rigby said taking the movies. He saw Raine wave, and again he laughed. He climbed into the cart where Mordecai was sitting there with his iPod in his ears. Rigby yanked the headphones out.

Mordecai slowly turned his head and raised an eyebrow. "Dude what the h? You were a total jerk in there. She was just trying to be nice."

"That Raine girl is stupid; I think she has mental issues." Mordecai said taking his ear buds back. Rigby sighed.

"No, she's just a happy person, unlike you! You got to go back in there and apologize." Rigby yelled.

Mordecai stood up. "Man when did you become such a prick? The love of my life died, and you expect me to just let it go. That girl in there just thinks that everything is a game. I don't owe her, or anybody, an apology. So why don't you just back off!"

Mordecai pushed Rigby out of the driver's seat. Rigby got up, and brushed himself off. "Fine, you can walk home because I frankly don't care." He got back in the seat and drove off leaving Mordecai behind on the curb of the movie store.

Mordecai sat down, and he cried softly. He heard the door open, and turned to see Raine. "You know I'd be happy to give you a ride." She said with a smile.

Mordecai didn't answer. Instead he just looked away and wiped his tears. "Thanks, but I think I'll walk." He said. Raine took a seat next to him, and he looked at her confused.

"It's a long way to the park, so I'm going to sit with you until you let me give you a ride." Raine said. Mordecai thought about this. Raine was pretty stubborn.

For the first time in a long, long time, Mordecai smiled. "Ok." He said. Raine laughed and gestured for him to follow her.

Raine brought Mordecai to a silver Honda Civic. They were half way to the park, when Mordecai thought of something. "Wait how do you know where I live?"

"I saw it on the news back in March. I didn't know who you were, but I felt bad. I'm really sorry about Margaret." Raine said. Mordecai didn't answer.

She pulled up next to the house and Mordecai got out, but before she could drive away Mordecai leaned down. "I'm sorry about how I acted today. I didn't mean any of that."

Raine smiled. "It's ok; I lost my father when I was 17, so I know how hard it can be." Mordecai frowned. Now he felt bad for her, he nodded and went inside.

Rigby was sitting on the couch. Mordecai sat next to him. "Rigby, I'm sorry about today. You were right I was a total jerk." Rigby waved his hand towards him.

"It's fine, I wasn't entirely nice either." Mordecai nodded. "So what do you say we watch these movies? The pizzas on its way." Mordecai laughed.

"Sure bro."

Nice huh? Bad? Tell me, review, PM, whatever you want. So Mordecai has met Raine. She seems nice, perky. LOl I'm basing her off an old friend. She was always happy, and was always fun to be around. Thanks to BrunoMarsLover21, she helped me a ton with this chapter. :)
