Chapter 4: So Long Jerks

As Mordecai and Rigby made their way back to the house, they went straight to their room and began packing their things. Thankfully they only had a few things to pack, so their packs were light. All they took in their backpacks were a few changes of clothes, their toothbrushes, their shaving stuff, and their wallets.

As they were walking out the door, they ran into Skips who was carrying around a bag of trash to take to the dumpster. Skips stopped when he noticed their packs, and gently put down the bag.

"You guys going somewhere?" The friendly Yeti asked.

"Well," Rigby answered slyly, "Would you believe us if we said the Road Rovers asked us to join them?"

"No."

"Well, that's what happened," Mordecai continued.

Skips suddenly had a look of shock on his face. "You guys really aren't kidding?"

"Nope. If you go out to the park gate, they're in their car waiting for us!"

"It's true!" The cheerful voice of Pops suddenly exclaimed as he walked on up to them. "I was taking a stroll down the path when I overheard everything."

"Wow! I can't believe it!" Skips felt his forehead. "The rovers must see something really special in you guys to ask you to join them!"

"There's a lot of things special about us, dude," Rigby smirked.

"So, does this mean you boys are leaving the park?" Pops asked, suddenly sounding sad.

"Yeah, Pops. Sorry," Mordecai scratched the back of his head.

"Oh! I'll miss you two so!" Pops pulled Mordecai and Rigby into a tight hug. After getting over the surprise, they both hugged back. They were going to miss the silly old man.

"Good luck, guys," Skips held out his hand after Pops released the duo. They both shook.

"Thanks for everything you did for us here," Mordecai smiled.

"Yeah, we had some awesome times!" Rigby added.

They started walking down the road as Skips and Pops waved goodbye after them.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Rigby's head. "Hey, dude, you know who we should say goodbye to?"

The duo stood in front of Muscle Man's trailer. Mordecai knocked. After a second, the knob turned and Muscle Man opened the door, High-Five Ghost behind him.

"What is it, losers?" the Hulk-like man asked.

"Hey Muscle Man," Mordecai said tauntingly, "Guess who just got called in to help the Road Rovers!"

"And it's not your mom!" Rigby added.

"Wait, what?" Muscle Man raised an eyebrow.

"We did!" The duo laughed.

"That's right! We're super heroes! Who's the loser now?" Rigby cackled.

Finally, Muscle Man's eyes widened as he started to understand what they were getting at.

"Yeah, who's the loser now?" Mordecai shouted.

The duo started dancing and shaking their butts at Muscle Man, singing who's the loser now, who's the loser now?

"Are you kidding me?" The green man roared.

"Well, we got to go help our new cool friends catch some crooks!" Mordecai started walking off.

"Yeah, see you later, momma's boy!" Rigby jeered as he followed Mordecai.

"Muscle Man, you okay?" High-Five asked his friend.

"I need to lift some weights," Muscle Man grunted.

Mordecai and Rigby were still laughing and high-fiving about how they got Muscle Man. They've wanted to rub something in that jackass's face for so long now. They were getting close to park gates when Benson stopped them, and was he ever mad. His beard was already red.

"What the heck is this, where do think you're going; I told you two to go pick up that cake, I'm sick and tired of dealing with you STUPID, LAZY, SLACKERS," Yelled Benson as he screamed at the top of his lung.

Mordecai and Rigby couldn't believe what Benson just said; did he just call them stupid lazy slackers, even if it were partially true?

"Now get back to the Bakery, bring the cake back here to the park or your fired!" Yelled Benson.

This made Mordecai so angry that all his years of putting up with Benson and his abusive bossiness were finally about to come out.

"NO! You know what, forget it! Me and Rigby are through working for you," Yelled Mordecai, getting up in his face.

"What did you just say?" Benson asked through clenched teeth.

"He said we're through working for you!" Rigby snapped.

"Who do you think you're talking too? I'm your boss!"

"Not anymore!" Mordecai shouted. "We don't need this lame job anymore!"

"What?"

"We're leaving to work for the Road Rovers!" Rigby crossed his arms proudly.

Benson almost broke down laughing. "What kind of lame story is that?"

"It's the truth dude," Mordecai muttered.

"Yeah," Rigby added. "If we were kidding, would we do... this?" He marched right on up to Benson and stomped on his foot.

"Ow!" Benson held his hurt foot and started hopping around.

"Hmph, yeah!" Mordecai grinned, "Or how about this!" He jumped over to a trash can, and knocked it over, scattering trash everywhere.

Then the duo went into another dance, singing "We're out of here, so long you big jerk!"

When their little shenanigan was over, Benson exploded. He screamed to the heavens, started pounding at the ground, and ran off.

Mordecai and Rigby high-fived again, and marched proudly towards the gate, almost not noticing Benson tear a tree out of the ground.

Finally, they were at sidewalk. The Rovers were all seated in their car already, rearing to go.

"About time you slow-pokes caught up!" Blitz smirked.

"So, ready to go?" Hunter asked from the driver's seat.

Mordecai and Rigby smiled at each other. "Yep, ready."

"Hop in the back!" The door popped open. Mordecai took a seat next to Laura, and Rigby next to him.

"Next stop, Don's house!" Hunter announced as he hit the gas.
