Author's Note: Hey guys, here's Rigleen's date. Sorry for long update gap. At least test week is over now. I apologize about Trevor's 'review', he just found out that he didn't have to log in to review. He didn't even read it at all. Again, I'm sorry. Shout out to BrunoMarslover21!
"Yeah, well I gotta go. Benson thinks I knocked over the fridge last night and he wants me to clean it up."
"Uh, okay then see ya!"
"Bye." Rigby walked out the door and got into the cart. Then he drove off. Rigby drove into the driveway and got out of the cart. He walked up the steps to see Benson with his arms crossed. Face beat-red. "Uh, h-hey Benson."
"What is that?" Benson pointed to the fridge.
"A fridge that I did not knock down."
"Oh really?" Benson raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously! Ya know what, call Skips."
"I will!" Benson got out his walkie-talkie, "Hey Skips, can you come down to the house real quick?" Benson didn't stop glaring at Rigby. Skips opened the door.
"What's the problem?" The yeti asked.
"Can you tell if Rigby is lying about knocking over the fridge."
"Sure," He turned to Rigby, "Did you knock down the fridge, Rigby?"
"No! I swear!" Skips looked into Rigby's eyes for about ten seconds.
"He's not lying," Skips stated.
"Then who did it?" Benson looked at Skips.
"I don't know. I'll ask everyone else." Skips left the house.
"Aha!" Rigby pointed at Benson, "I told you I didn't do it!"
"Okay okay, just get back to work."
"But it's my day off!"
"Fine, just, just," Benson stuttered, "go somewhere else."
"Okaayy." Rigby left. He saw Skips talking to Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost. Skips turned and walked over to Rigby.
"They didn't do it either," Skips said, "I think the earthquake last night caused it."
"There was an earthquake last night?" Rigby asked.
"Yeah, it was big enough to knock over a fridge, I know that because some of my weights fell off their spots, but small enough to keep everyone sleeping."
"Whoa," Rigby's mouth opened, "how come you didn't stay asleep?"
"I can sense them coming." There was silence after that.
"Okaayy, Imma go." Rigby turned on his heel and left.
THAT WEEKEND
Rigby was eating breakfast when his phone buzzed. It was from Eileen.
Eileen: Hey you still up for tonight?
Rigby: Ya, cant wait
Rigby put his plate in the sink. He went upstairs to pick his outfit for tonight. He decided on a dark blue suit and a red-orange tie. Ugh, I hate suits, Rigby thought. He laid the suit on his trampoline, and went downstairs to play video games. Before he had to get ready, the day was pretty uneventful and lazy. Eventually, Rigby looked at the clock and decided to get ready. He took a shower and brushed his teeth. He put on some deodorant, then put his suit on. He slicked his hair back. He went back downstairs and looked up at the clock. He had time to spare but decided to head over to the restaurant anyway. He walked up to the man at the door and was taken to his table. He waited for a while and looked at his watch. It read 7:55. She should be here any minute, Rigby thought. He waited five minutes longer. Nothing. Hey waited even longer, and longer. When the time hit 8:25, he decided to leave. As he was getting up, he saw Eileen walk through the door. She was wearing a blue strapless dress that caught Rigby's eyes. He sat back down.
"For a s-second I thought you weren't going to show up." Rigby said as Eileen sat down.
"Yeah, sorry I'm late, I lost my keys and I had to get gas."
"It's fine. Everyone has lost their keys before." The date went well. They talked about work and normal things. When Rigby would pull a joke, Eileen would try to do the same but would mess it up with science facts. One question, however, was bugging Eileen that she needed to ask.
"Hey, Rigby, I was thinking. Since we've been dating for eight months now, I was wondering if you wanted to move in?"
Rigby almost choked on his steak. "W-what!?"
"You don't have to. I wa-"
"No no! It's fine. I've uh, thought about this question before. There's just this thing that's bothering me about it."
"And what is that?" Eileen rested her chin on her hands.
"Honestly, I-I don't think I'm uh good enough to move in with you. I d-don't get paid that much and-"
"Rigby," Eileen interrupted, "If you weren't good enough, do you think that I would be asking you about it?"
"No, but-"
"But what."
"Uh, I-I don't know. I'm just... nervous. That's all."
"You're fine," She kissed him on the cheek, "Now yes or no?"
Rigby gulped, "Yes."
THE NEXT MORNING
Rigby got up from his trampoline. He rubbed his eyes. He realized it was Father's day, and had the day off. Rigby never really knew his dad, so he didn't have anyone to call that day. He decided to visit Mordecai and hang out. He got out of bed, ate breakfast and went to the cart. He pulled up at the apartment complex and walked up the stairs. He knocked on the door only to not get an answer. He looked through the windows but the blinds were closed. He tried to look at the blinds at an angle to see behind them and he saw blue and red feathers on the couch. Either they're sleeping or I came at a bad time. He put his ear to the window. He looked at his watch and realized that this is the first time that Mordecai slept later than him. He knocked on the door again, this time getting an answer. Mordecai opened the door.
"Dude, what do you want?" Mordecai mumbled, rubbing his face.
"I wanted to hang out today, but apparently you had plans on sleeping in." Rigby crossed his arms.
"But, I'm kind of sleeping. Can you come back in an hour?"
"'Can you come back in an hour'" Rigby mocked in an high-pitched voice.
"Dude, just please, leave." Mordecai was in no mood to do anything.
"Fine then!" Rigby threw his arms up and left. Mordecai sighed and closed the door. Mordecai laid back on the couch and petted Margaret's hair. She turned and nuzzled her face in Mordecai's chest. She was still relaxing and warm. Mordecai thought this as his eyes closed.
Rigby drove back to the park. He parked by Skips's house and walked to it. He knocked on the door for the yeti to open it.
"What? I'm in the middle of something." Skips said in his usually raspy voice.
"Do want to hang out?"
"Why don't ya ask Mordecai?"
"He's too busy sleeping with 'Barfgaret.'" Rigby stuck out his tongue.
"Rigby, you should be happy for Mordecai. He's dating the girl of his dreams. And I'm sure you want him to be happy for you when you move in with Eileen."
"Whoa, how did you know?" Rigby's mouth was open.
"I could tell by the excitement and slight fear in your eyes."
"Uhhh, anyway, the thing is, he's never in the mood to do anything anymore! It bums me out." Rigby kicked the dirt.
"Rigby, he's overly relaxed on one of his dreams being accomplished. And I don't think he will risk all of it by not spending time with his girlfriend."
"Jeez, looks like Mordecai isn't the only one who can give a speech." Rigby walked away. He got in the cart and went to the house. He started to prepare to prepare to move out.
Mordecai opened his eyes to see Margaret turn.
"Good morning." She mumbled.
"Hey babe." Mordecai smiled back, kissing her softly.
"We should get up, it's already ten." The two lovebirds got up and got breakfast. As they were eating, they heard a knock on the door. Mordecai opened it to see Ryan standing next to some guy.
"Hey Mordecai, remember that other guy who was in surgery for a week? Well here he is!" She gestured.
"Johnathan, but I go by John." John held out his uninjured hand and Mordecai shook it, seeing that this guy was some sort of chameleon panther. He was about three inches taller than Mordecai and he seemed to be surprisingly buff.
"Mordecai... are you new here?"
"Sort of, I was a Marine for a while but I'm retired now."
Mordecai blinked. That explained his buffness and slight uptightness. But he was still cool.
"Mordecai! Who's at the door?" Margaret called.
"Anthony's here with the third guy from the hospital." Margaret walked to the door and held out her hand.
"Hi! I'm Margaret, Mordecai's girlfriend."
"John," he shook it. All of a sudden, Keelan appeared with his crutches.
"Hey Anthony what's u-" Keelan's eyes widened, "Another animal? Who's this guy?"
"This is the other guy in the accident." Ryan answered. Keelan's jaw dropped.
"What?! I got hit by some, chameleon, puma type thing?"
John clenched his fists and walked up close to Keelan, towering over him, "Hey, you better watch it!"
Keelan nervously laughed, "Heh heh, sorry man, just uh s-surprised."
"Good," John smirked.
"Anywaaayy, would you guys like to come inside?" Mordecai gestured. The three friends came inside and plopped on the couch. They all watched TV as Mordecai and Margaret ate their breakfast. Right when Mordecai put his bowl in the sink, Rigby walked in.
"Mordecai, it's been an hour, can I come in no- who is that guy?" Rigby pointed at John.
"That's John, the other guy in the accident."
"Oh, I'm Rigby," He waved at John, "How's your wrist?"
"It's OK, I've been through worse." John lifted his arm. Rigby raised his eyebrow.
"Uh, what?"
"Oh, I used to be a Marine. I got shot a few times, but I'm okay. Especially since I carry this girl around." John pulled out a handgun, and everyone backed away.
"Whoa whoa! Easy."
John laughed, "No no, it's OK, I have a license." Everyone calmed down a little.
"Okay that's good, but can you just put it, away... please?" Mordecai held up his hands.
"Haha okay," John chuckled. The six friends just chilled for a while. They watched TV, talked about the accident, and so on until Mordecai asked something.
"So uh, Rigby, you seemed really eager to hang out this morning, what's up?"
Rigby swollowed hard, "I'm uh, movinginwitheileen."
"What?"
"I'm moving in with Eileen." Rigby winced, preparing to be made fun of by Mordecai.
"Dude! Nice!" Mordecai lifted his hand for a hi-five. Rigby opened his eyes.
"You're happy?"
"Yeah dude, of course I'm happy for you!" Mordecai kept his hand up. Rigby thought about what Skips said. He hi-fived Mordecai's hand. Margaret came back from the other room after talking with her dad.
"What happened?" Margaret asked.
"Rigby and Eileen are moving in with each other." Mordecai answered. Margaret giggled.
"That's awesome! Eileen's gonna be so happy!"
"Who's Eileen?" Keelan asked.
"My girlfriend." Rigby turned.
"Is she an animal too?"
"Yeah, a mole." Keelan threw himself back on the couch.
"What's up with him and animals?" John asked.
"He's new here. He doesn't have talking animals from where he's from." Mordecai answered. John nodded his head. Rigby told Mordecai about the date and when Eileen asked the question. Mordecai hi-fived Rigby again, and Rigby left, needing to ask Benson for a raise. Rigby drove to the house and walked upstairs to Benson's office.
"What do you want?" Benson asked, not pulling his eyes of a piece of paper he was writing on.
"I uh need a raise."
"Why?" Benson still didn't look at Rigby.
"I'm moving in w-with Eileen." Benson stopped writing, still looking at the piece of paper.
"Fine," he continued writing.
"Seriously?!"
"Yes, now get out before I change my mind." Rigby ran out the room, jumping up and down. He got back into the cart and drove to Eileen's. He ran up the stairs and an knocked on her door. She opened it, surprised to see Rigby.
"Oh, hello Rigby."
"Hey Eileen, guess what."
"What?" She yawned.
"Benson gave me a raise so I can move in!" Eileen's eyes widened.
"That's great!" She hugged him tightly. Rigby hugged back.
"I was actually surprised that it was that easy!" Rigby said.
"Have you asked him before."
"Yeah, he said yes but Mordecai and I kind of brainwashed him with a magical keyboard. He snapped out of it and then took his money back."
"Oh, well it's great that you got it this time!" Eileen kissed Rigby softly.
"Well, I'll see you l-later." Rigby broke the kiss.
"Bye Rigby." Eileen waved as Rigby got into the cart. He floored the gas pedal and sped off just for show. While he was driving, he sighed a relaxed sigh.
Phew, he thought, all set. He drove back to the house and looked at his packed stuff, I'll move in Saturday.
Mordecai waved at the three friends, who all left at the same time.
"So how's your dad?" Mordecai asked.
"He's good. Have you called your dad yet?"
"Nah, he's working right now, I don't want to bother him."
"Mordecai, call your dad, I'm sure he'll be happy to hear from you."
"Ah, OK." Mordecai took out his phone and punched in the number. The phone ringed then clicked.
"Hello?" The man on the other line answered.
"Hey dad, It's Mordecai."
"Mordo! How's it been? What's up?"
"Everything's good, just wishing you happy father's day."
"Aw well I'm glad to hear that Mordecai. Hey, how's it going with that one girl, uh Margaret, that you've had that crush on for some time?"
"Actually it's going great! We've been dating for eight months now."
"Well that's excellent! Well, thanks for calling, son. I'll see you around."
"Bye Dad." Mordecai hung up the phone. He turned to Margaret who hugged him tightly, "What's that for?"
"For calling your dad."
"Why did you want me to call him so badly?"
"I just wanted you to get back in touch with your dad."
"Well okay then." He kissed her on the forehead, "Wanna go back to sleep?"
"Totally."
Author's Note: So Mordecai called his dad. That was nice. Rigby and Eileen are moving in together! John's out of the hospital! I should now be able to update a little more often now that test week is over. Don't forget to PM or review!
