'Hey look, Margaret!' Rigby whispered, seeing the red robin from the other side of the room, getting another persons order. Mordecai turned his head as fast as he could, with his eyes locating Margaret towards the other table.

'Aw, crap, dude! What do I do!' Mordecai panicked, feeling a burst of nervousness inside his stomach as he lowered his head down covering his eyes.

'Mordecai, just try to have a normal conversation with her. Just try!' Rigby told his friend, rolling his eyes. The raccoon grabbed onto the top of Mordecai's hair, pulling him up with a hard yank and turning his head towards the red robin. In the distance, Margaret began walking and noticed that Mordecai and Rigby were at the table.

'Dude, she's looking at me!' Mordecai whispered in anger, as Rigby still held onto his face keeping him in the same position.

'Good! You know what's better? She's coming over this way, ' Rigby whispered back, letting go of his friends feathers. Mordecai stared towards the red robin, as she came closer and closer to the table. When she arrived, she gave a small smile and said 'Hi Mordecai, hi Rigby. Um, so how are you Mordecai?'

'I'm-Uh... Great. Yep, just great,' Mordecai replied in a fake tone.

'No, Mordecai. I know you're not great. I can tell by your expression,' Margaret replied with a loud sigh.

'Well... You're right. I'm just a bit nervous seeing you here. Don't worry though, I've gotten over the whole "thing" now,' the blue jay answered back, with an awkward and cheesy laugh while Rigby face palmed without Margaret looking.

'Oh. Well, that's good news then. Did you guys want to order or anything?' Margaret asked.

'Sure. I'll have the usual,' Mordecai replied quickly.

'Ooh, and me too!' the raccoon butted in, making sure he would get his say. Margaret gave them both a sweet smile and replied 'Sure thing. I'll be right back,' The blue jay sighed, watching her go off and around the corner into the back room.

'What was that?' Rigby asked with annoyance, staring directly at his friend.

'I couldn't think of anything else to say! Don't blame me,' Mordecai warned, looking down at the table.

'But, Margaret was right, you're not over the whole thing yet,' Rigby explained, going further into what Margaret had said before.

'I know. I just didn't want to lie to her,' the blue jay said, leaning back further in his hard seat.

'Dude, remember, you can say whatever you want to her now. Because, you're not supposed to like her anymore,'

'You're right, Rigby. Thanks for helping me out, I'd be too lost without you,' Mordecai replied.

'R-really? You mean that?' Rigby asked in a shocked tone, looking up to his friend with a confused expression that read on his face.

'Of course, dude. Sometimes you can be a little annoying, no offense, and you never usually help a lot so this is a nice change for you,'

'Thanks man. Wait... What do you mean annoy-'

'Here's your order guys,' Margaret interrupted, placing their order down on the table.

'Heh-heh, thanks Margaret. We're still friends, r-right?' Mordecai asked, waiting for a response from the red robin.

'Of course, we are. Why wouldn't we be?' Margaret asked suspiciously titling her head to the sighed.

'Well... I was just, you know, making sure,' Mordecai replied. The both looked away with Rigby staring at them both, feeling the awkwardness between the two. The two birds looked away, turning their heads to side and making sure they didn't take anymore glances at each other. Rigby moved his head forward and half closed his eyes, as the tension between the two became awkward and unusual.

'Well, I, Uh, gotta go to get other people's orders,' she told the two, looking up from the left. Mordecai gave a sigh of relief, happy that she was now busy so that Mordecai didn't have to be in the embarrassing situation.

'Okay then,' the blue jay replied, wanting her to leave that second. She left, walking quickly off and around the corner info the back room.

'Uh... I felt like an idiot,' Mordecai told his friend, leaning his elbows on the table and buried his head into his hands. All he could think of was the terrible conversation that the two birds had and all he wanted to do was sink into a tiny hole of embarrassment, not wanting to ever come out again. He felt a furry hand softly touch his feathers on his back which made Mordecai jump in shock. He looked up, only realizing it was Rigby, patting Mordecai's back with comfort, so he looked back down again and let Rigby continue to pat his back.

'Aw, well. At least you talked,' the raccoon told him, trying to look on the bright side of things. Mordecai looked down at his friend with a small, slight glare, looking at him straight in the eyes which held a glowing and angry spark.

'Come on, let's go,' Mordecai said, pulling out his chair and began trudging away from the table, with his wings hanging down low and his whole body crouched.

'Hey! I haven't finished my coffee!' Rigby whined, grabbing onto his drink and waving it in the air, feeling his paw against the warm side with his grip.

'Take it with you,'

Rigby's hand held tightly onto his warm drink and quickly caught up to Mordecai, traveling behind his tall friend. Rigby didn't know what else to do. He thought after all this, those two would become just friends. But, with Mordecai's clueless thoughts, it just didn't seem to work at all. It made it worse.

'W-wait a minute, why am I wanting them to become friends when I want to have a closer friendship with Mordecai...?' Rigby thought. He remembered whenever Mordecai and Margaret were together, he was forgotten.

Left behind.

Alone.

Unless Eileen was there, Rigby was always invisible and forgotten, almost like he disappeared off the edge of the earth. Afterwards, Mordecai would always talk about how great she was and how he wanted to go out with her, but Mordecai was too shy. Rigby was almost sick of it, he hated it.

*Flash-Back*

'We've gotta have another night like that, again!'

Mordecai and Rigby's backs were bent over, as they both gripped onto empty soda cans, with the tops covered in the sticky drink.

'Having Margaret and Eileen over is awesome, don't you think Rigby?' Mordecai asked, putting one of the cans into his large garbage bag. Rigby looked up from the ground, rubbing his left eye with his free hand and dropping it slowly against his side.

'Yeah, yeah, sure man. All I'm focusing on is trying to stay awake,' the raccoon replied with a large yawn, stretching his back and blinking quite a few times.

'But how Margaret danced last night, I swear we almost held hands! It was so awesome,'

Rigby gave a slight groan, trying to block the blue jay's thoughts and leaning over to his left, grabbing another can.

'She's just so amazing!'

Rigby pretended to listen, nodding his head from the corner and picking up another piece of rubbish.

'Man, Margaret-'

'Is so amazing! I love her! Why can't she notice me?' Rigby mimicked in a high pitched tone, standing up straight and crossing his eyes. Mordecai looked back at the raccoon in confusion, tilting his head to side and finally understood what Rigby meant.

'Hey! I-I don't speak like that,'

'Mordecai, all I hear about is Margaret. That red robin is driving me nuts! I swear that's all I hear from you! Margaret this, Margaret that! I've heard it all before!' Rigby yelled, glaring directly towards the blue jay with his fists held tight with anger. Mordecai opened his eyes in shock and replied 'Oh, man, I'm sorry. I never realized, I just go so carried away. I can stop talking about her, I promise,'

'Nah, it's not your fault. I'm sorry for getting annoyed just, could you tone down about the Margaret stuff?' Rigby pleaded from the corner of the room.

'Sure thing! Oh, yeah, and last night, Margaret was standing near me...'

Rigby gave a small groan, listening to Mordecai's words drag into his own ears and travelled into his brain.

'When will it ever end?' Rigby thought to himself.

*Flash-back ended*

'Y-yeah! So I should be happy that he's not with her,' Rigby thought happily, treading down the street. They crossed the road and came across a bunch of old posters from when the protest was on.

'I guess they all stopped the protest,' Mordecai said aloud, which was what Rigby was thinking. The raccoon just gave a slight nod, looking down to the ground and scanning the posters.

'Pfth, pathetic,' Rigby thought, stepping over a poster with coloured rainbows and a bunch of writing spread across it. He kicked at the poster, hard with his furry foot which flew onto the road.

'What are you doing?' Mordecai asked, noticing Rigby was either doing a little, random dance or either kicking the protest posters.

'Come on man, look at some of them. They're so pathetic,' Rigby replied to the blue jay with a hand gesture. He placed his feet upon the paper and the written words, twisting it around in a circle until it ripped half way through across the middle, making a slight ripping sound.

'Hey, don't say that. They put hard work into this protest and want to be treated right, don't be a hole,'

'Fine...' Rigby replied in annoyance, following Mordecai but stopped for one second. He took another hard look at a poster, slamming his foot down on one of the symbols that was all over the piece of paper and walked off, with pride and his head held high. The paper flew from Rigby's foot which, got carried along with the wind

Yeppers, I'm back from my holiday. Oh, I never told you? Ah, well, sorry about that. Thanks for the few reviews I've gotten, you guys are so kind! I swear it'll get much better soon, it will xD Thanks again!
