Mordecai and Rigby Go Imaginary

Chapter 7

Bloo, Wilt, and Rigby were walking into Foster's after their failed attempt at sabotaging Frankie and Mordecai's date.

"Well that went well," Rigby said sarcastically as he stepped into the house.

"No, it didn't," Bloo replied, "That plan did not go well, at all."

Wilt was still ashamed of himself for going along with Rigby's idea to sabotage the date. He was even tearing up.

"Are you OK there, Wilt?" Bloo asked.

"I'm sorry, but no, I am not okay," Wilt replied, "What we did was so wrong, and not okay. I'm sorry, but, I can't even believe I went along with your plan. I don't even know you guys anymore."

Wilt ran off, crying in shame.

"I'll be right back," Rigby said, "I'm gonna go clean myself up."

Rigby walked off so he could go clean himself up. Mac and Rigby passed by each other.

"Hey, Rigby," Mac greeted.

"Hey, Mac," Rigby greeted back.

Mac noticed that Rigby was dressed as a woman.

Mac was about to ask Rigby as to why he was dressed as a girl, but decided not to ask him.

"I'm not even gonna ask," Mac said to himself.

Mac walked up to the foyer, approaching Bloo.

"Hey, Bloo," Mac greeted.

Bloo was still wearing the top hat and moustache that was part of his Orlando Bloo disguise.

"Why are you wearing your Orlando Bloo disguise?" Mac asked.

"It's a LONG story," Bloo explained.

"That probably explains why Rigby is dressed as a girl, huh?" Mac assumed.

"Yeah," Bloo replied, smiling nervously.

"Anyway, wanna play a quick match of Super Mega Blasteroids 9 before I have to go home?" Mac asked, wanting to change the subject.

"Sure," Bloo replied.

Mac and Bloo left to go play video games.

Meanwhile, Rigby was in the restroom. He was cleaning himself up from the disguise he wore.

Rigby sighed. "Well, it's official," he said, "I guess Mordecai hates me now. He's right; I DO mess things up."

Rigby was upset because he did not want Mordecai to hate him.

Suddenly, Rigby heard some noises. Rigby went to find the source of the noises, and saw Mac and Bloo playing video games together.

Seeing Mac and Bloo play video games together and enjoying themselves made Rigby think about how Mordecai had not been playing video games with him. It made him even more upset.


Back at the park, Benson and the park workers, the two new employees included, were hanging out at a sports bar. This was the same sports bar they hung out at in the Regular Show episode, "Over the Top". They were seated at a big booth.

Benson and the park workers were conversing with each other, and laughing. They were having a good time, taking a break from all the work-related matters.

Benson laughed. "You know what, guys?" he said, "I like days like these where we can all just kick back and hang out together. Consider this as a token of my appreciation for all the hard work you guys do around the park."

"Aw, thanks, Benson," Skips said.

"I must agree with Skips," Pops agreed, "It is quite nice of you to treat us on this special occasion."

"I especially have to give my appreciation to the new guys," Benson said, "Although you two are new here, you guys have shown to be exceptional workers who make sure to get the job done, no matter what."

The two new employees blushed. They were embarrassed by Benson's compliment.

Benson raised a glass, and stood up.

"To the new guys!" Benson exclaimed as he held his glass up in the air.

The other park workers each raised a glass, and stood up, as well.

"To the new guys!" the park workers exclaimed as they clanged their glasses together.

Everyone laughed with delight as they sat back down, and conversed with each other. The two new employees were conversing with each other, discussing about work.

Benson noticed this, and was concerned. His intention of having this get-together was to take a break from working at the park.

Benson sighed. "Skips, I'm getting concerned about the new guys," he said.

"Why are you concerned?" Skips asked, "You just said they were exceptional workers."

"Yes," Pops agreed, "They're also very dedicated and hard-working."

"Though come to think of it, all they seem to care about is work," Skips added.

"That's what I'm talking about," Benson said, "Listen to them. They're talking about work when they shouldn't even be worrying about it, right now. And even though they've only been here for a week, they've already done a month's worth of work! I'm thankful for their dedication, but they're working way too hard. Everything feels different now ever since I hired them."

"Oooh. Sounds like someone misses Mordecai and Rigby," Muscle Man said, eavesdropping on the conversation.

Benson did miss Mordecai and Rigby. He was afraid to admit this to his co-workers.

"Come on, Benson, you have to be missing Mordecai and Rigby," Hi-Five Ghost said.

Benson sighed. "Yes, Hi-Fives, I do miss Mordecai and Rigby," he admitted.

"It's alright, Benson," Skips said, consoling Benson, "We all do."

"I just hope they're doing alright ever since you fired them," Pops added.

"Me, too, Pops; me, too," Benson said.

"Actually, I know where they are," Skips said.

"You do?" Benson asked.

"Yeah. After you fired Mordecai and Rigby, they asked me to take them to a place called, 'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends'," Skips explained.

"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends?" Benson repeated.

"Seriously? There's a foster home for imaginary friends?" Muscle Man asked, "This has gotta be a joke."

"It's actually a real place," Skips said, "It's where imaginary friends go when their creators have outgrown them."

"Oh, how wonderful," Pops commented, "It's nice to know that imaginary friends have a place to stay, even when they're not allowed to live with their creators anymore."

"Hmmm. It sounds like they're just trying to take advantage of the place so they can live there, and not have to work anymore," Benson assumed.

"But Mordecai and Rigby aren't even imaginary friends," Hi-Fives Ghost pointed out.

"Exactly," Benson replied, "I should have known they would have been up to no good."

"Well, at least it's good to know that they found a place to stay," Pops pointed out.

"Yeah, for now," Skips said.

Benson was suspicious when Skips said that.

"What are you talking about, Skips?" Benson asked.

"Look up Foster's on the internet, and you'll see why," Skips replied.

Benson decided to do his research on Foster's when he got home.


Frankie and Mordecai were now back at Foster's after their date.

"Man, that date was awesome!" Mordecai exclaimed as he and Frankie entered Foster's.

"Glad you liked it," Frankie said, "I enjoyed our date, as well. We should totally do that again sometime. If we are ever able to, that is."

"I'm sure we will," Mordecai said.

Frankie cringed when Mordecai said that. "Right," she said, "Anyway, I gotta go take care of something."

"Alright," Mordecai said, "Thanks for the date."

"No problem," Frankie replied, "See ya later."

Frankie went off to go take care of something while Mordecai went upstairs to change out of his suit.

While Frankie went to go take care of something, she passed by Mr. Herriman.

"Oh, there you are, Miss Francis," Mr. Herriman said as he joined Frankie, "I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Oh, hey, Mr. H," Frankie greeted, "Sorry, I was on a date with Mordecai."

Mr. Herriman was surprised when he found out that Frankie was dating one of the residents.

"Now, Miss Francis, you know crystal clear that here at Foster's, you are not allowed to have any kind of affectionate relationship with any of the residents," Mr. Herriman reminded her sternly.

"I know, but Mordecai is a really nice guy," Frankie commented, "He's better than some of the other guys I've dated before, and he's not even human." Frankie sighed. "If only he could stay here, forever."

"Yes, if only he could," Mr. Herriman said, though in a sarcastic manner, "That could change, tomorrow, however."

Frankie knew that the next day would be Adopt-a-Thought Saturday.

"Speaking of tomorrow, Miss Francis, do you have everything ready for Adopt-a-Thought Saturday?" Mr. Herriman asked.

"Yes, sir, Mr. H," Frankie replied, "I finished early so I could go on my date with Mordecai. I'm actually about to double check and make sure I have everything ready to go."

"Ah, very good," Mr. Herriman said, "I always like to see you being productive, Miss Francis. I shall now leave it to you."

Mr. Herriman went off to go do something else.

Frankie was concerned about Adopt-a-Thought Saturday. She knew that Mordecai could not stay at Foster's forever, and was at risk of getting adopted tomorrow.


Mordecai was in his bedroom. He had changed out of his suit, and was getting ready for bed.

Mordecai was still angry with Rigby for trying to sabotage his date. Although the date went well, even with Rigby trying to sabotage it, he was irritated about Rigby meddling on their date.

"Stupid Rigby," Mordecai said to himself, "I should have known he would try to mess up my date. Why do I even hang out with him?"

Suddenly, Wilt, Eduardo, Bloo, and Coco came into the bedroom.

"Hey, Mordecai," Wilt greeted.

"Oh, hey, guys," Mordecai greeted.

"How was your date with Senora Frankie?" Eduardo asked.

"Oh, it was fine," Mordecai said, "Until Rigby tried to ruin it."

"Coco coco co?" Coco asked.

"Yeah, he did," Bloo replied, smiling nervously, "And I have to take some of the blame for that."

"I'm sorry, but I must also take some of the blame, too," Wilt added, "I'm sorry we tried to ruin your date, Mordecai."

"Oh, I'm not angry at you two," Mordecai said, regarding Wilt and Bloo, "I'm angry at Rigby. He likes to mess things up for me, and it really cheeses me off. I don't even know why I consider him my best friend when he's just a big jerk."

"Trust me, I know how that feels," Eduardo said.

Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco stared at Bloo angrily. Bloo was wondering as to why the group of three was staring at him angrily.

"Sometimes, I wish Rigby would just leave me alone," Mordecai said.

"Well, you might get your wish, tomorrow," Bloo said.

Mordecai was suspicious when Bloo said that. "What are you talking about?" he asked.

The group of four realized that Mordecai did not know about Adopt-a-Thought Saturday.

"Oh, you must not know about Adopt-a-Thought Saturday," Wilt said.

"Adopt-a-Thought Saturday?" Mordecai repeated, "What's that?"

"It's this big event that we have every Saturday," Eduardo explained.

"Yeah, we use the event to promote adopting our imaginary friends so they can get adopted into loving, new homes," Wilt added.

"Coco coco coco coco," Coco added.

Mordecai was shocked when he heard this. He did not realize that once he and Rigby registered to live at Foster's, they also put themselves up for adoption.

"Adopted?" Mordecai repeated, "You mean, I could get adopted tomorrow?"

"Pretty much," Bloo replied, "This isn't a boarding house, you know…except for me."

"Bloo!" Wilt and Eduardo exclaimed at the same time, scolding him for being insensitive. Coco also said Bloo's name, but she said, "Coco".

"What, what did I say?" Bloo asked.

"Don't you have something better to do?" Wilt asked.

Bloo thought about the question. "You're right, I actually do," he said as he walked off.

"We're sorry, Mordecai, but yes, I'm afraid that you could get adopted tomorrow," Wilt said once Bloo was out of earshot.

"Don't worry, though, getting adopted is a good thing," Eduardo assured, "It means that some chico or chica loves you, and wants to be your amigo."

Mordecai did not want to get adopted. He liked living at Foster's, and hanging out with Frankie.

"Oh, I had no idea that I could get adopted," Mordecai said.

"Well, there's no guarantee that you will get adopted," Wilt assured, "I've been living here for quite a long time, and I haven't been adopted, yet."

"Si," Eduardo said, "I've been here for a muy long time, too."

"Coco co," Coco said.

Mordecai felt a little better when Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco told him that he might not get adopted tomorrow. He felt bad for them, though.

"Wow, that sucks that you guys haven't been adopted, yet," Mordecai said.

"Well, maybe tomorrow will be the day," Wilt said.

"Excuse me, gentlemen and Miss Coco," Mr. Herriman said as he entered the bedroom, "I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but it is time to start calling it a night. After all, tomorrow is a big day."

"Yes, right away, Mr. Herriman," Wilt said. He, Eduardo, and Coco left the bedroom.

"Master Mordecai, you are aware of what's happening tomorrow, right?" Mr. Herriman asked.

"Yes, sir," Mordecai replied, "They just told me." He was referring to Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco as 'they'.

"Excellent," Mr. Herriman said, "Make sure Master Rigby knows about tomorrow's big event, as well, if he hasn't already. Sleep tight, Master Mordecai. You're going to need it."

Mr. Herriman left the bedroom.

"Good night, Mr. H," Mordecai said.

As soon as Mr. Herriman left the bedroom, Rigby came into the bedroom. He was no longer wearing his female disguise.

"Well that took a while," Rigby said to himself, regarding how long it took to get himself cleaned up.

Rigby wanted to play video games, but it was too late to do that.

"I guess I'll have to play video games tomorrow," Rigby said.

When Mordecai saw Rigby, he wondered if he should tell Rigby about Adopt-a-Thought Saturday.

"Hey, Rigby," Mordecai addressed as he was getting into his bed.

"Yeah?" Rigby replied as he was getting into his bed. He didn't really want to talk to Mordecai.

Mordecai was going to tell Rigby about Adopt-a-Thought Saturday, but decided not to as a way of getting revenge on Rigby for trying to ruin his date.

"Nevermind," Mordecai said.

"Okay, then," Rigby said, "See ya tomorrow, Mordecai. Maybe."

"Hmm, hmmm," Mordecai said to himself, "Maybe, indeed."


Meanwhile, back at the park, Benson was inside his apartment. He was on a computer, doing his research on Foster's.

Benson was on the Foster's website, finding out information about the place.

"Hmm, interesting," Benson said to himself.

After doing some more research, Benson was shocked when he found out that Mordecai and Rigby were put up for adoption after taking residence at Foster's.

"What the!?" Benson said, "Mordecai and Rigby put themselves up for adoption!?"

Benson face palmed himself, and shook his head.

"Idiots," Benson said to himself.

Suddenly, Benson saw an advertisement for the Adopt-a-Thought Saturday event on the website. After looking at the advertisement, Benson found out that he could adopt Mordecai and Rigby.

Benson really missed Mordecai and Rigby, and wanted them back at the park, despite firing them a few days ago.

Benson pulled out his cell phone, and called a number on the phone. He then put the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" a voice said on the phone, that voice belonging to Skips.

"Hey, Skips," Benson greeted, "It's Benson."

"Benson, it's the middle of the night," Skips said, "What could you possibly want at this hour?"

"I want you and the others to be here at my place first thing tomorrow," Benson said, "We're getting Mordecai and Rigby back."
