Chapter Nine: Picking Up The Pieces

July 2nd Sunday

The sun rose behind the trees, colouring the sky in a large orange aura of light. The sun shone through Rigby's window, immediately waking him up. He sat on the side of his bed and let out a large yawn, then stretched. Rigby stood up and walked over to his door, before noticing he had no clothes on. He yawned and shrugged and walked over to the dresser. He pulled out some clothing and slipped them on.

A few minutes later, he left his bedroom and walked downstairs, "Hey…how are you?" Rigby's mother asked, while approaching him.

"I'm fine." Rigby replied, while groaning in pain.

"You're wearing clothes…?" She asked.

"Yep…guess I'd better grow up sometime, why shouldn't it be now?" Rigby shrugged.

His mother sighed, "Well, do you want to come to church with us? Maybe it will do you some good." She asked, her face full of worry.

"I guess it would clear my mind, alright, sure." Rigby nodded and walked into the kitchen and saw his father, drinking from his coffee mug while reading the newspaper, after noticing Rigby, he quickly put down his newspaper and glanced at him.

"Hey, you're wearing clothing…? That's odd, what're you…" He rubbed his chin.

"I'm coming to church with you." Rigby interrupted.

"I thought you were an athiest..." His father raised an eyebrow.

"John! He's just coming to church with us for some closure." Rigby's mother interrupted.

"Sorry Linda." His father replied.

"Let's head off then, shall we?" Rigby interrupted.

"Okay…let's move." John stood up. Rigby nodded and walked out the front door. His mother and father exchanged some worried looks and followed him outside.

Meanwhile, Mordecai and Riley were sitting on the curb outside Riley's house, "Seen Rigby lately?" Mordecai asked.

"Not really, he's been keeping his distance from us…I understand why, I just feel so rejected." Riley answered.

"I'm worried about him, poor bastard, nobody deserves to go through something like this." Mordecai sighed.

"Still have feelings for him, eh?" She asked.

"Yeah…but…ah…fucking hell, life can be just, so damn complicated..." Mordecai rested his head in his wings.

"I know right?" Riley agreed, with a frown on her face.

Mordecai looked up and noticed Rigby's car, "Hey, there he is!" Mordecai exclaimed, standing up. Riley stood up and waved at Rigby with Mordecai.

Rigby didn't even glance at them and the car just drove past them.

"He's ignoring us." Mordecai sighed.

"He can't ignore us for long, school starts again tomorrow." Riley explained. Mordecai nodded in silence, while he looked down.

"Wanna head inside?" Riley asked.

"No thanks Riley, I'm gonna head home, I'm suddenly not in the mood to talk…" Mordecai sighed and walked off. Riley let out a disappointed sigh and walked into her house.

Meanwhile, Rigby and his mother and father arrived at the local Christian church, only a few blocks from the school. Rigby sat next to his parents in the church and the service began.

After the church service ended, Rigby walked out of the church with his parents, with his hands in his pockets.

"You alright, son?" John asked.

"Yeah, is it alright, if I walk back?" Rigby asked, with an oddly polite voice.

"No problem, Rigs. Where are you going?" Linda asked.

"My name is Rigby, not Rigs. I'm just going to go for a walk, I won't be far from home, but don't expect me to be home fast." Rigby answered.

"Oh…alright…stay safe." Linda frowned. Rigby nodded and walked off.

"I wish I knew how to help Rigby…" Linda sighed.

"I don't think we CAN help him, but we could try…" John glanced at Rigby, as he turned a corner and escaped their view.

Rigby walked slowly along a long street, the sidewalks were empty of people, and the roads were empty. He sighed and continued to walk along the empty street.

Some Time Later…

Rigby walked slowly along the street, he suddenly noticed a bench on the sidewalk. He walked over to the bench and sat on it. Rigby just looked at the sky, completely losing track of time. Nearby, Mordecai was walking down the same street.

He noticed Rigby on the bench and walked over to him, "Hey, man." Mordecai greeted.

"Hey." Rigby greeted.

"How are you…?" Mordecai asked, sitting next to him.

"As good as to be expected…how are you?" Rigby asked.

"I'm…I'm not sure…" Mordecai sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry that I've been avoiding you…" Rigby sighed and glanced at the jay.

"I understand but…it's been a week, we think you don't want to be friends with us." Mordecai explained.

"'We?'" Rigby asked.

"Riley and I." Mordecai replied.

"Oh, I forgot." Rigby sighed.

"We got school tomorrow." Mordecai stated.

"I know…" Rigby sighed.

"Think you'll be alright?" Mordecai asked, scooting closer to the smaller male.

"I think so…maybe…" Rigby leaned on Mordecai's side.

"As long as things go to plan, it'll be just like a normal school day…" Rigby continued.

"Well, if you ever need anything, let me know…" Mordecai offered.

"Thanks man." Rigby nodded.

"Well, I'm gonna head back to my house, see you at school tomorrow." Mordecai got off the bench.

"Alright, see you at school." Rigby nodded and watched his friend walk off.

"He's so perfect…" Rigby muttered.

"What?" Mordecai asked, turning around.

"Nothing…" Rigby nodded. Mordecai shrugged and walked off.

The Next Day…

Rigby, Mordecai and Riley sat at a table at lunch time, seeming as their usual table was destroyed by the gym explosion.

"I miss this." Riley commented.

"What?" Mordecai asked, eating his sandwich.

"I miss this, this time when we eat." Riley continued.

"Same." Mordecai sighed.

"I hear some of the kids in our grade have formed a football team with the gym teacher." Mordecai said.

"I know, what did they call themselves?" Rigby asked.

"I think they called themselves 'The Bulls' or 'The Horns' or something like that." Riley shrugged.

"Who's in the team?" Rigby asked.

"Some kids in our grade, and Chad." Mordecai explained.

"Chad's in the team? Wow." Rigby chuckled a bit.

"What about Jeremy?" Rigby asked.

"I dunno." Mordecai shrugged.

"I'm gonna head off guys, I wanna check out the new football field." Rigby jumped off the table and put on his backpack. He waved back at Riley and Mordecai and glanced at them. Suddenly, someone ran into him and knocked him over.

"Why don't you watch where you're going?" He laughed.

"Hey, what'd you do that for?" Mordecai asked, walking over to them.

"Oh sorry, did I run into your boyfriend?" The other guy laughed.

"Come on Trent." Riley crossed her arms.

"Shut up Riley, Damon and I don't need you interfering." The larger man glanced at the man next to him.

"Don't be dicks." Riley commented.

"Get over yourself." Trent laughed.

"Brainless football players." Rigby commented, looking at their uniforms, with had the school symbol on the front of it and the word 'Bullhorns' beside it.

"Oh piss off…" Damon laughed. Trent and Damon began to walk off.

Mordecai stood up and spoke; "Oh, have some fun in the communal showers, 'Oh I dropped the soap, please pick it up for me!', freaks."

"Oh whatever." Trent groaned and left with Damon.

"You alright?" Riley asked.

"Yeah, fine." Rigby got up and sighed.

"What's with them?" Rigby asked.

"Dunno." Riley sighed. The bell suddenly rang.

"Well, I guess we should head off to class." Mordecai patted Rigby on the back.

"What do you guys got?" Rigby asked.

"I have Animal Care." Mordecai groaned.

"I have P.E." Riley fist pumped in excitement.

"Urgh….I have science…" Rigby groaned.

"Oh well, see you guys after school." Mordecai waved and walked off.

A few minutes later…in Animal Care…

"Okay, so when dealing with these animals, you always have to be calm and delicate." Explained the teacher, who was almost falling asleep, seeming like he was bored.

"Sir, why do we do this class?" One of the students asked.

"Because it's required as part of your curriculum." The teacher answered.

"When will this be over…?" Mordecai quietly groaned.

At the same time, in Physical Education…

"Okay, so the gym isn't going to be fixed for about a month, so, I guess we'll have to do this outside." The teacher explained.

"We're going to be working on our passing, with a football." The teacher picked up a football and held it in his right hand.

"Do any of you know how to pass a football properly?" The teacher asked. The whole football team, who was in the class, raised their hands.

"Except the professionals." The teacher motioned for them to put their hands down. Riley raised her hand.

"Okay." The teacher threw the football at Riley, who caught it immediately.

"Demonstrate." The teacher demanded. Riley nodded and passed the football back to the teacher, perfectly.

"Perfect! Why don't you join the football team?" The teacher asked. Riley glanced over at the team, who were giving her looks of excitement.

"I'm not joining them in the communal showers." Riley laughed.

Meanwhile, in Science.

"What are your results?" The teacher asked.

"For me, it took fifteen minutes and twenty three seconds for the temperature to reach 150 degrees." One of the kids replied.

"Okay, good result, what about you, Shane?" He glanced at another kid. Rigby ignored everything and just leant on the desk. He was mixed in thoughts between Don and Mordecai, thoughts he wished would be resolved. Rigby groaned and fell asleep on his desk.

A short time later, the final bell of the day rang and Rigby suddenly woke up, taking his head off of the desk.

"Finally awake, Rigby?" The teacher asked.

"Oh my god…I'm so…so sorry, sir!" Rigby exclaimed, picking up his backpack and began to walk over to the door.

"Wait, Rigby." The teacher demanded.

"Yes, sir?" Rigby asked.

"What's going on?" The teacher asked.

"I've just been having some personal problems…" Rigby sighed.

"And these problems were more important than the effects of heat?" The teacher asked.

"Yeah, my brother died." Rigby glared at him. The teacher widened his eyes and stuttered.

"Oh…um…I'm sorry." The teacher tried to apologize.

"Don't you start." Rigby left the room and slammed the door.

A few minutes later…

Rigby, Mordecai and Riley met up near the football field after school.

"Hey, had fun in Animal Care?" Riley laughed.

"Not much, what about you, how did P.E. go?" Mordecai asked.

"Well, I pissed off the football team when I made a joke about the communal showers." Riley chuckled.

"Nice, how was Science, Rigs?" Mordecai asked.

"I'm Rigby, not Rigs." Rigby readjusted his backpack strap. Mordecai just sighed.

Suddenly, Trent and Damon approached them.

"Did you guys have fun in the showers?" Riley laughed.

"Shut up bitch." Trent ordered.

"What is your problem?" Rigby asked.

"Their acting tough because they're on a football team, they think they're so tough." Mordecai explained.

"Hey!" Damon punched Mordecai in the shoulder.

"Don't touch him!" Rigby glared at Damon.

"Oh, I'm sorry little bitch, did I hit your sex slave?" Damon laughed.

"What the hell, man?" Trent asked, grimacing at the awkward comment his team-mate had made.

"Sorry." Damon looked at the ground.

"See ya later, faggots." Damon laughed and walked off with Trent.

"Let's go." Mordecai sighed. Riley and Rigby nodded at each other and left with Mordecai, before they were stopped by a grey wolf.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Oh, Hi." Rigby greeted. The wolf was the same size as Rigby, like Felix was.

"Be careful Rigby, remember last time." Riley warned.

"He's not a new kid is he?" Mordecai asked.

"No, I've been here for years, I just wanted to talk to you." The wolf continued.

"Go ahead." Rigby nodded.

"Well, I don't know if you noticed me before, but my name is Omega." He introduced himself.

"Oh, cool." Riley commented.

"What do you want from us?" Rigby asked.

"I have a plan…a plan which I could use some help on." Omega began.

"Okay, explain." Mordecai said.

"Okay, so the football team is having a big game in a week, so I think we should prank them…like…replace their drink bottles with tea…and glue the benches." Omega continued.

"I like where this is going." Rigby chuckled.

"I was thinking that my friends and I could stand up to the football team, but it isn't happening." Omega sighed.

"I understand, we can help." Mordecai shrugged.

"I'm gonna head home, we'll talk more tomorrow. Cya guys." Omega waved and ran off.

"What a weird kid…" Riley commented.

"I know, I wonder what Omega has planned." Rigby shrugged.

"Oh well, I guess we'll find out more tomorrow." Mordecai said.

"Okay, see you guys later." Rigby waved and ran off.

"Well, bye Riley." Mordecai began to walk off, before Riley stopped him.

"Wait." Riley ordered.

"What?" Mordecai asked.

"I know how you feel about Rigby." Riley began.

"I know, maybe at some point I'll remind him, but not while he's grieving." Mordecai replied.

"He'll be grieving for a long time." Riley said.

"I do love him…it's just…fuck…thanks for the support anyway, but I think Rigby needs the real support." Mordecai sighed.

"Yeah…maybe." Riley put her hand under her chin.

"Cya!" Mordecai ran off. Riley groaned and began to walk home.

"This fucking town…"
