Mordecai and Rigby Go Imaginary
Chapter 11
Note: This is the final chapter of the story.
Outside the mansion, Benson and the others were trying to think of a way to help Goo and Rigby escape from the mansion. They were having a difficult time coming up with ideas.
"So, does anyone have any ideas, yet?" Benson asked.
The others shook their heads 'no' in response.
"Nope. Can't think of nothin'," Bloo replied.
"I'm sorry, but same here," Wilt added.
"Coco," Coco said.
"Come on, guys, we have to think of some way to get Goo and Rigby out of there," Benson said, "We just can't leave them there, forever."
Suddenly, the window to the daughter's bedroom opened up. When it opened up, some bed sheets that were tied together with some rope came out of the window.
Benson and the others were wondering as to what was going on when they saw that.
Goo came out of the window, holding onto the bed sheets. She was using the bed sheets to rappel down the mansion.
"Hi, Mr. Benson," Goo greeted, "Rigby and I found a way to escape. We found these bed sheets, tied them up with rope, and we're using them to climb down the mansion, like spies."
Benson and the others were impressed with Goo and Rigby's escape plan.
"Ooh, how innovative," Pops commented.
"Nice work, Goo!" Benson exclaimed.
Once Goo was safely on the ground, it was Rigby's turn to rappel down the mansion.
"Okay, I'm done," Goo said, "Your turn." She was saying this to Rigby.
Rigby looked down, and saw Benson and the others.
"Benson?" Rigby addressed when he saw him and the others from the bedroom window, "What are you and the guys doing here?"
"We'll tell you, later," Benson said, "Just get down here. And be careful."
Rigby exited the daughter's bedroom by climbing out the window. As he did, Rigby accidentally knocked over a lamp that was situated on a nightstand by the daughter's bed. The lamp fell to the ground, and shattered into lots of pieces.
The daughter, who was in another room at the time, overheard what was going on in her bedroom.
"What was that?" the daughter asked herself in a concerned manner.
The daughter ran to her bedroom.
"Tiffany?" the daughter addressed in a concerned manner, regarding Rigby.
When the daughter entered her bedroom, she noticed the broken lamp. She also noticed that Rigby had escaped, because she did not see Rigby in the chair that he was tied to, and also saw that her bedroom window was open. This scared the daughter.
"TIFFANY!" the daughter screamed in horror.
The daughter ran to her bedroom, and saw Rigby trying to escape.
"That's it, nice and steady," Benson said, watching Rigby come down, "You're almost there."
Rigby was halfway down when the daughter noticed that he was trying to escape.
"Hey!" the daughter exclaimed.
The daughter grabbed onto an end of the bed sheets. She tugged on the bed sheets, trying to pull Rigby back up into her bedroom. Rigby felt the daughter tugging the sheets, and also felt himself going back up into the bedroom.
"Uh, guys, a little help, please?" Rigby asked.
Benson and the others noticed this. Benson grabbed onto the other end of the bed sheets, trying to pull Rigby down to the ground. This caused a tug-of-war between the daughter and Benson over Rigby.
Rigby felt uncomfortable, as the bed sheets he was holding onto were being tugged back and forth.
"You come back here, Tiffany!" the daughter exclaimed.
Having a tug of war with the daughter over Rigby and the bed sheets was not getting Benson anywhere. He was also starting to lose his grip on the bed sheets, as well.
Suddenly, Benson had an idea.
"Rigby, I cannot hold onto the sheets anymore," Benson said, "You're going to have to let go!"
"But it's too high," Rigby said, "I'll break a bone."
"Don't worry, Senor Rigby, I'll catch you," Eduardo offered.
Trusting Benson and Eduardo, Rigby let go of the sheets. Benson let go of his end of the sheets after Rigby let go. The daughter saw this happen.
"NO!" the daughter screamed in fear.
Rigby screamed as he fell. However, as promised, Eduardo caught him.
Rigby breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Eduardo," he said.
"De nada," Eduardo replied.
Suddenly, the daughter climbed out of the window, and used the bed sheets to slide down to the ground, similar to a firefighter.
"GIVE ME BACK MY TIFFANY!" the daughter exclaimed.
Eduardo screamed, and ran off with Rigby in tow. The daughter chased after Eduardo.
Eduardo tossed Rigby to Wilt, who was nearby. The daughter then chased after Wilt.
This began a chase scene where the others would run around the grounds of the mansion, and try to keep the daughter away from Rigby. The daughter would chase after whoever had Rigby in their possession, and whoever had Rigby would give Rigby to somebody else, causing the daughter to chase after that person who was given Rigby.
During the chase scene, Skips had Rigby in his possession, at one point. While being chased by the daughter, Skips came up with an idea.
Skips gave Rigby to Muscle Man, and ran over to the Foster's Bus. He got in the bus, and opened up the bus doors.
"Everybody, get in!" Skips exclaimed.
The others eventually noticed this, and anyone who was not holding Rigby and being chased by the daughter also got on the bus. As everybody was getting on, Skips started up the bus.
Pops had Rigby in his possession, and tossed Rigby to Frankie, who boarded the bus with Rigby in tow.
Pops was the last person to board the bus, and once he got on the bus, Skips closed the doors, and drove off.
"Come back here with my Tiffany!" the daughter exclaimed as she tried chasing the bus.
The bus was too fast for the daughter, and she was unable to catch up to the bus.
After the daughter stopped for a moment to catch her breath, she threw a tantrum because Benson and the others took Rigby away from her.
Everyone on the bus cheered when they saw that the daughter had stopped chasing them.
As the bus left out of sight for the daughter, Rigby looked out a window, saw the daughter, and stuck out his tongue while putting his hands on his ears, and wiggling his fingers around. He did this as a way of mocking her as the daughter continued to throw a tantrum.
The Regular Show gang and the Foster's gang were now back at Foster's. When they came back to Foster's, the sun was setting in the sky.
Everyone got off of the bus.
"Thank goodness that's over," Benson said as he got off the bus. He was the last one to get off the bus.
"Yeah, but that was so much fun," Goo commented, "I felt like a secret agent. I wish I could stay and chat some more, but it's getting late, and I've got to go home. It was certainly a pleasure to meet you all, today."
"Thanks for your help, Goo," Benson said, "We really appreciate it."
"You're welcome," Goo said as she waved goodbye, and left Foster's so she could go back home.
The Foster's gang said goodbye to Goo as she left.
"I should probably be going home, too," Mac said, "I don't want my mom worrying about me. Bye, guys!"
The Foster's gang said goodbye to Mac as he left to go home.
"Thanks for coming to my rescue, guys" Rigby added, "You have NO IDEA what I was going through with that she-devil."
"Anytime, Rigby," Wilt said.
"And thank you so much for you help, today, as well," Benson said to the Foster's gang, "I am so sorry if these two caused any trouble for you."
Benson said that last part to Frankie, and was referring to Mordecai and Rigby when he said 'these two'.
"Oh, they were just fine," Frankie said, "No trouble at all. Now, I've got to know, why did we need to rescue Rigby?"
Mordecai and Rigby grew nervous when Frankie asked that question. They thought that Benson was going to rat them out, and tell Frankie they were not imaginary.
Benson was going to actually say that, but he didn't think Frankie would believe him, so he had to make up a story.
"Well, you see, we are a family of imaginary friends," Benson explained, "Junior, here, created all of us, and they ran away from home."
Benson was referring to Pops as 'Junior'.
"Well, they had a good reason to run away," Bloo said, "How could you be so mean to these two?"
Bloo was asking this question to Pops.
"Excuse me?" Pop asked in confusion.
Mordecai and Rigby remembered about the fabrication that they came up with about who created them.
"Whoa, Bloo, take it easy!" Mordecai exclaimed.
"Yeah, he wasn't THAT mean," Rigby added.
"Then why did you run away?" Frankie asked.
Mordecai and Rigby tried to quickly think of an excuse.
"Because, uh…" Mordecai stammered.
"We couldn't have dessert after dinner," Rigby added.
Luckily for Rigby, the others believed him.
"Makes sense to me," Bloo said.
"Yeah, I could see that," Frankie added.
"I'm sorry, but you guys ran away over having no dessert?" Wilt asked, "That's just ridiculous."
"Si," Eduardo agreed.
"Coco," Coco said.
"My thoughts exactly," Benson said, going along with it, "You two know better than to run away."
"We're sorry," Mordecai and Rigby said at the same time.
"We'll talk about this later when we get home," Benson said, as he pointed to Skips' van. This was his way of telling Mordecai and Rigby that it was time to go.
"Um, Benson, before we go, could we say goodbye to our friends, first?" Mordecai asked.
Benson sighed. "Alright, but be quick about it," he said.
"Thanks," Mordecai said.
While the Regular Show gang was boarding Skips' van, Mordecai and Rigby were saying their goodbyes to the Foster's gang.
Mordecai and Frankie walked away from the others, and over to an area where they could talk in peace.
Mordecai and Frankie looked at each other nervously, and smiled at each other. They knew that this was going to be the last time they would see each other, and wanted to make the most of their final moments together, especially since they were going to have to break up as a couple.
Frankie chuckled nervously. "Well, I guess this is goodbye," she said.
Mordecai chuckled nervously. "Yep," he said, "It was such a pleasure to get to know you during my time here. Foster's was AWESOME. Thanks for everything."
"No problem," Frankie replied, "It's too bad we have to 'break up', though."
"That's okay," Mordecai assured, "We can always be close friends, even if we may never see each other again."
Frankie and Mordecai were holding hands during their conversation.
"Just before you go, I want to give you this," Frankie said as she gave Mordecai a slip of paper.
The slip of paper that Frankie gave Mordecai had her phone number on it.
"Even though we cannot be with each other anymore, it doesn't mean that you can't call me from time to time," Frankie said, "Promise you'll keep in touch with me."
"You bet, I will," Mordecai promised as he put the slip of paper away.
Frankie and Mordecai looked at each other for a moment before embracing each other in a hug. There was a small moment of silence during their hug. Frankie also shed a few tears, as well.
While Mordecai and Frankie were still saying their goodbyes, Rigby was saying goodbye to Bloo.
"Well, Bloo, it's been a fun ride, but I'm afraid we're gonna have to make like bananas, and split," Rigby said.
"I guess so," Bloo said, sad to see Rigby go, "Do you think you'll ever come back to Foster's?"
"I'll try to visit, if I can," Rigby replied, "But until that adoption rule gets scrapped, there's no way I'm ever comin' back to live here again."
"By the way, you still owe me five bucks for beating you at that video game," Bloo reminded.
"I'll pay you back when Mordecai pays me back for not thinking imaginary friends were real," Rigby offered, "Deal?"
"It's a deal," Bloo said as he and Rigby shook hands with each other.
Mordecai and Frankie came back from saying goodbye to each other, and rejoined the group.
Mordecai and Rigby looked at the Foster's gang for one final time.
"Well, I guess this is it," Mordecai said.
"Thank you so much for everything, guys," Rigby said, "We'll never forget you."
"We'll never forget you guys, either," Wilt said.
"Si, you'll always have a place in our corazons," Eduardo added.
"Coco co," Coco added.
"By the way, Frankie, is that Viking going to be okay?" Rigby asked.
"Yes, Rigby, he'll be fine," Frankie assured, "I'll make sure that he is safe here, and will go to a loving, new home. Why do you ask?"
"Just curious," Rigby answered hesitantly, smiling nervously.
Benson was getting impatient with Mordecai and Rigby saying their goodbyes.
"Alright, guys, it's time to go," Benson said, "It's getting late, and we've got a long drive ahead of us."
Mordecai and Rigby sighed in depression. They knew that their time at Foster's had come to an end, and it was time to go back to the park.
Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson boarded Skips' van. Then, when everyone was inside the van, Skips started up the van, and drove off en route to the park.
The Foster's gang waved goodbye as they saw the van leave. Mordecai and Rigby waved goodbye back.
Frankie blew Mordecai a kiss. Mordecai saw this, and pretended to catch the kiss by making a catching motion with one of his hands, and stowing the kiss away. Frankie chuckled when she saw this.
The Foster's gang continued to wave good-bye until the van was out of sight.
Frankie sighed. "I can't believe he's actually gone," she said, regarding Mordecai.
There was a small moment of silence as the Foster's gang embraced Frankie, consoling her.
"Miss Francis, I need you in my office immediately," Mr. Herriman's voice said through a loudspeaker, ending the silence, "I need to have a serious talk about you snooping through my office."
Frankie groaned in frustration. "I knew snooping through his office was a bad idea," she said, as she went inside Foster's, "I'm sure gonna miss Mordecai, though. I really thought he was the one. At least we can always be close friends."
Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, and Bloo followed Frankie inside.
"They were really awesome to hang out with," Wilt commented, "Well, except for Rigby."
"Si, Rigby was so cheeky, and such a nuisance," Eduardo added.
"Coco co, Coco added.
"I'm sure gonna miss him, though," Bloo said, "We had a lot of fun together. He was my best friend."
The others glared at Bloo when he said that.
"Besides Mac, of course," Bloo said, smiling innocently.
The Regular Show gang was back at the park, and had been back at the park for two days. They spent a day resting from their Foster's journey after returning to the park, and were now refreshed from the journey.
Mordecai and Rigby were now back to working at the park again, despite being fired not too long ago.
Everyone, except for Benson, was present at Pop's house, and were sitting on the front porch steps.
The group of six were discussing about Mordecai and Rigby's experience at Foster's.
"So, how was Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Mordecai and Rigby?" Pops asked.
"Aw, man, Foster's was the best!" Mordecai exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Rigby agreed, "We had so much fun. There was an arcade, we had our own bedroom and home-cooked meals, and best of all, we could slack off all we wanted to because we never had to worry about getting a job."
"Wow, sounds like you ladies were living in paradise," Muscle Man said.
"Yep," Mordecai said.
"Too bad the fun is over," Hi-Five Ghost said.
"We sure are glad you both are back working here again, though," Skips said, "We really missed you guys."
"We missed you guys, too," Mordecai said.
"Besides, I'd rather be here than back at that girl's house playing tea party," Rigby said.
"Hey, you know who else would rather be here?" Muscle Man asked.
Before Muscle Man could finish his joke, Benson appeared with a clipboard in tow.
"Alright, good morning, everyone," Benson greeted, "It sure is good to see you all today. Especially you two."
Benson was referring to Mordecai and Rigby when he said 'you two'.
"Now, even though we got a lot of work done over the past week, there is still a lot that needs to be done around here," Benson said, "Pops and Skips, I want you two cleaning up around the park today, and picking up any trash that you can find. Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost, I want you both on Snack Bar duty, today. Mordecai and Rigby, I want you both to stay behind so I can have a brief talk with you two. I know we just got back from a long journey, but we had all day yesterday to rest, so let's move out, and get to work!"
All of the park workers, except for Mordecai and Rigby, left Pops' house so they could go work on their chores. Now, it was just Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson.
Benson approached Mordecai and Rigby. "Well, I hope you guys have been able to get used to being at the park again, because it sure is glad to have you guys back working for me," he said, "You two have no idea how much I missed having you guys around. "
"It's glad to be back, Benson," Mordecai said, "We still miss Foster's, though."
"Yeah, it was fun to live there, not have a job anymore, and be able to slack off all day," Rigby added.
"I'm glad you had your fun while it lasted, because I don't want you guys to ever do something like that again," Benson said sternly, "Seriously, taking advantage of that place was not cool, and you guys had me worried sick with the whole adoption ordeal."
Rigby scoffed. "Whatever," he said, "I'm just glad you didn't rat us out."
Benson shook his head. "Anyway," he said, trying to change the subject, "For today, I would like for you guys to help out the others. Mordecai, you could help Pops and Skips clean up around the park, and Rigby, you could help Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost with the Snack Bar. I know that it will take a while for you guys to get used to working here again, but I still expect you two to be on task, and not slacking off. Got that?"
"Yes, sir," Mordecai and Rigby said at the same time.
"Good," Benson said, "We're already wasting valuable work time, so let's get a move on."
Benson left to go do something else. Before he did, he turned back to Mordecai and Rigby.
"Oh, and welcome back to the park, guys," Benson said, smiling when he said that.
Benson turned back around, and left. Now, it was just Mordecai and Rigby.
"Well, I guess it's time to get back to workin' again," Rigby said.
"Yeah, I guess," Mordecai said, "Or, we could go watch some T.V. Wanna do that, instead?"
"You know it," Rigby replied.
Mordecai and Rigby went inside Pops' house to go watch some T.V.
Benson saw Mordecai and Rigby go inside Pop's house. At first, he was annoyed with this. While he would reprimand them for slacking off, he decided to let it slide. He actually smiled as he saw Mordecai and Rigby leave, because it meant that things were now back to normal.
"Um, aren't you going to do something about that, Benson?" Pops asked, having seen that.
"Nah," Benson replied, "I'm going to let it slide. Besides, those two guys that used to work for us have already done a month's worth of work, so I don't even really have anything for them to do."
"Speakin' of those two guys, whatever happened to 'em?" Skips asked.
Malachi and Robby, the two former employees of the park who replaced Mordecai and Rigby, managed to find another job.
Since they were stuck in the Foster's universe after betraying the Regular Show gang when Benson fired them, Malachi and Robby ended up finding a job in the Foster's universe.
Malachi and Robby were now working at the Game Hive Arcade from the Foster's episode, "Squeakerboxxx".
While Mordecai and Rigby were getting used to working at the park again, Malachi and Robby were starting their first day on their new job. Malachi was working at the prize counter, while Robby was hosting a birthday party that was being held at the arcade.
While Malachi and Robby were grateful to have found another job, they did not like the working conditions.
For example, they did not like wearing a bee suit as part of their work uniform.
To make matters worse for the two, a group of little kids were at the arcade for a birthday party, as mentioned earlier.
Robby was serving a pizza to the group of little kids at a table.
"Here we go, one large pepperoni pizza," Robby said as he laid the pizza down on the table.
Suddenly, a kid that was sitting next to where Robby was standing poked Robby's butt with a fork.
"Ow!" Robby exclaimed in pain as he jumped up, grabbing his butt.
Robby rubbed his butt, and looked behind him to see who it was that poked his butt with a fork. Robby assumed it was the kid next to him.
While Robby was right about his assumption, the kid who stuck the fork in Robby's butt smiled and whistled innocently, trying to act as if he didn't do it. This kid was also the one who was having the birthday party at the arcade.
Robby growled. "Now, you listen here, kid," he said.
Before Robby could finish, the kid's father came up to Robby. The kid's father was tall, buff, and had a mean look on his face, which scared Robby.
Robby chuckled nervously. "I hope you're having a wonderful birthday so far," he said, "Because here at the Game Hive Arcade, we like to make your birthdays 'bee-utiful'. Enjoy the rest of your party."
Robby nervously walked away from the table. The kid poked him in the butt with the fork again as he was walking away. Robby jumped up and screamed in pain when this happened, and rubbed his butt again, as well.
Robby rejoined Malachi at the prize counter. Malachi was snickering at Robby because he saw what happened. Robby did not like that Malachi was laughing at him.
"Next time, you're going to host the birthday party," Robby said to Malachi.
Malachi and Robby looked on in disgust as they watched what was going on at the arcade. Some kids were eating pizza while others were running around the arcade, playing arcade games, etc.
"Man, I can't believe that we got stuck working at an arcade for whiny, snot-nosed brats," Robby complained. Robby then groaned and started scratching himself. "And this uniform itches," he added.
"I know, dude," Malachi agreed, "But, hey, at least we have a job again. It may not be the best job in the world, but it's something."
"Yeah, I guess," Robby said.
"Besides, this beats working at that stupid park," Malachi pointed out.
Suddenly, a skeeball came out of nowhere, and hit Robby in the back of the head. Robby fell to the ground after getting hit in the head with the skeeball.
Bloo was also at the arcade, along with Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco. Bloo was playing skeeball, and was throwing the balls at the machine instead of rolling the balls. This caused Bloo to hit multiple people, including Robby, with skeeballs. Malachi saw Bloo doing this.
"More or less," Malachi said, regarding their jobs at the arcade.
Back at the park, Mordecai and Rigby were at Pop's house. They were watching T.V. together in the living room. Since the two former employees had done a month's worth of work, it was going to be a while before Mordecai and Rigby could actually work at the park again.
Mordecai and Rigby were glad to be back at the park. They did miss Foster's, but they were glad to be back in a familiar environment.
"Man, it feels good to be back at the park!" Rigby exclaimed.
"You got that right, dude," Mordecai said, "I mean, Foster's was awesome and all, but I am definitely not going back there again if it means having to put myself up for adoption. I sure am going to miss Frankie, though."
"Speaking of Frankie, I'm sorry for trying to sabotage your date, Mordecai," Rigby apologized, "I was just jealous that you were hanging out with her more than me. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
Mordecai thought about Rigby's apology.
"Well, trying to sabotage my date was pretty messed up," Mordecai said, "But since you apologized, I guess I can forgive you."
Rigby was glad that Mordecai accepted his apology.
"And you know what?" Mordecai added, "Since I have not been spending much time with my bro lately, how about we have our own little date tonight?"
Rigby was confused when Mordecai said that.
"You and me, playing video games, ALL NIGHT," Mordecai said, "What do you say?"
Rigby was glad to know that Mordecai did not forget about his promise to play video games with him, and was finally sticking to the promise.
"It's a date, bro!" Rigby exclaimed.
Mordecai and Rigby did a fist bump together, and then laughed with delight. Rigby was glad that he and Mordecai were friends again.
Mordecai and Rigby were watching a television show that involved a group of guys performing extremely dangerous stunts. This show that Mordecai and Rigby were watching was the inspiration for them performing the stunt that initially got them fired.
While watching the show, Rigby was intrigued by a certain stunt that the guys on the show were performing.
"Whoa, cool!" Rigby exclaimed, "Dude, we should totally try that!"
Suddenly, the T.V. turned off. Mordecai and Rigby saw Benson, who turned the T.V. off with a remote. He had a stern look on his face, as he overheard what Rigby said.
"Don't even think about it," Benson said.
THE END
