Here is chapter three, it's party time... Truth or Dare anyone.

Trollface.

After Margaret concluded the tour of her apartment she began setting up for the party.

"Do you want any help with that?" Mordecai asked her from the couch were he was laying.

"Sure Mordecai, you can get the food ready."

"Um...where is the food?"

Margaret giggled then asked, "Don't guys have like a built in homing device that locates food for you or something?"

"Well...You're pretty sweet and I found you...if that counts for anything."

"Thanks' Mordecai" She laughed adding, "Just look in the fridge and the cabinets above the stove."

"Okay." He replied, opening the refrigerator. He took out salsa, soda and a few assorted snack foods and walked across the kitchen. He set them on the counter that divided the kitchen from the living room (which will be referred to as the divider counter from now on) and opened the cabinet above the stove. Mordecai took out even more snacks and walked them over to where he had placed the others. He was about to ask Margaret for his next task when he realized she wasn't anywhere to be found.

"Margaret?" He called, wondering where his roommate was.

"Hey Mordecai, guess what I found?" Margaret asked, emerging from her bedroom carrying an 80's style boom box.

"Awe Cool." He said as Margaret put it down on the divider counter.

"Yeah, I found it in my room."

"Does it work?"

"Only one way to find out." Margaret said leaving the kitchen and returning with her birthday mix tape that Mordecai had made for her not so long ago. She pushed the eject button on the boom box and the tape tray popped out. Margaret stuck the tape into the tray and closed it before hitting play.

BANG!

Margaret shrieked and jumped back, but after the bang the tape played regularly, picking up in the middle of Dream Police by Areosmith. Margaret extended her hand towards Mordecai who took it instantly and the two started dancing. They danced through Burning Down the House, The Final Countdown and were in the middle of dancing to Everybody's Working For the Weekend when Mordecai slipped and fell. When Mordecai fell he brought Margaret down on top of him and they both blushed then burst into laughter. Margaret Rolled off of him and he shut the music off and heard a knock at the door. Margaret rushed to answer the door and invite in their house guests, Mordecai being quick to join her. When Margaret opened the door she and Mordecai were bombarded with the strangest stares from Rigby and Mordecai realized what the two were thinking and apparently Margaret did two because both avians burst into hysterical laughter yet again.

"You guys answered the door red faced and smiling ear to ear, not to mention that there was loud music playing! What else did you expect us to think you two were doing?" Eileen asked, frustrated with her two avian friends.

"Come in." Margaret said, still trying to get over the looks on their friends faces. The four sat down at Margaret's kitchen table, Mordecai on Margaret's left, Rigby on his, Eileen on his left with Margaret also on hers. They discussed things that were happening around The City and new movies and video games that were coming out. Then Margaret excused herself from the table and went into the bathroom. She returned with fine wine and come Champaign.

"You keep that in the bathroom?" Mordecai joked, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Margaret poured everyone a glass. Then one more for Mordecai and another, and another, and another. Mordecai hoped that drinking would help take his mind off of his father and all of that chaos.

"Let's play Truth or Dare." Rigby suggested, hoping it would be easier for a drunk Mordecai to spill the beans than a regular one.

"Sure." All three of the others responded, almost in unison.

The four friends got up and moved into Margaret's living room, Rigby and Eileen taking the Lazy Boys which forced Mordecai and Margaret to share the couch. Eileen went first asking "Margaret, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Margaret replied quickly.

"Why have you had so many boyfriends?" Eileen asked, not honestly caring, but asking in the spirit of the game.

"Well...there's this one guy I've liked for a while and want to make jealous." Margaret said, batting her eyelashes and taking a seductive glance at Mordecai who was looking at her, but was too drunk to notice.

"Rigby, Truth or Dare?" Margaret asked, seeing she was getting nowhere with Mordecai.

"Truth, I' not doing a stupid dare." Rigby responded, slightly agitated with the two girls questions.

"Okay, have you ever had a girlfriend?" Margaret asked.

"Yeah, tons."

"Rigby peaked in High School." Mordecai interjected before all of them with the exception of Rigby broke out laughing.

"Alright then Mordecai. Truth or Dare?"

"Uh...truth or dare...truth or dare...uh...truth."

"Alright" Rigby said, grinning from ear to ear, "What's the story with your father? The whole story."

Mordecai, too drunk to notice the gravity of Rigby's request began to speak, "Well when I was a kid..." he started.

"Well before that when I was born my parents weren't married and it was because of me that they did get married. My mother's name was Emily and my father's was Leonard, although everyone calls him Lee. I have a little brother named Stewart and a little sister named Caroline. My dad started the most successful gang on the eastern seaboard, and he hated me. My mom made up for it, so I guess I'm a mamma's boy because she was the parent I hang out around.

Then when I was seventeen I was parking my mom's car that I had just been using and my mom was helping me park it in the garage. I didn't know that a rival gang had taken both the parking break and the emergency break out, so when I turned the car off and put it in park it just rolled back and ran over my mom. I wasn't even in the car. My father used this as his final reason for kicking me out that night, and ever since then I'v lived on my own and I've never spoken to anyone from my family since. He actually wants to kill me too...he's sent lot's of people after me over the years, Doug, Peeps, people like that. Whenever I see that sleazy fucker's face I just boil over with rage I if he found out about you guys I don't know what I'd do. That's why I've been tying to keep this under wraps, I didn't want you guys to worry."

"Jesus Mordecai, your dad is one fucked up son of a bitch." Rigby stated to break the silence after Mordecai stopped speaking.

"How about watch a movie?" Margaret asked, tying to change the subject. The other three nodded in agreement and voted on a movie, Star Wars: A New Hope being the winner. Since Rigby and Eileen had the armchairs Mordecai and Margaret had to share the couch. Mordecai volunteered to sit on the floor but Margaret wouldn't have it and insisted he lay on the couch, so Mordecai laid out on the back of the couch and Margaret laid in front of him, that way they could both be comfortable and see the movie. It was actually a quite ironic movie, a father trying to kill his son, but unfortunately Mordecai's fatigue caught up with him and he drifted off to sleep.

As usual thanks' for reading, and now you get that little allusion at the beginning. I'll try to get the next chapter up fast again.
