AC 4 Average jobs, Unaverage nights.
Chris is walking up to the top of the roof and sees Menthis, "Good morning man what are you doing up so early?" He asks.
"Nothing...hucking breakfast burrito at pigeons." Says Menthis.
"Wait why would you be feeding a breakfast burrito too another... know what you do you, I have to go too work cya man don't forget your first day as security for the brewery don't be late. Says Chris walking off.
"Will do." Says Menthis when some pigeons come up and points at him and the other makes a neck slicing gesture attacking him off the building and into the dumpster.
Later that morning Chris gets too work and goes into the building, "Hey dad." Says Chris seeing his father and asks, "How's it going?"
"Well Chris it's been tiring." Sighs Peter, "I just saved the orphanage across the street from a bunch of deformed gremlins using only my mace."
"You mean the orphanage for children with deformities?" Asks Chris.
"...And I just maced a bunch of deformed children?..." Sighs Peter, "Well if anyone needs me I will be hiding from the police in the Janitors closet….again.. " He says grabbing his lunch walking towards the back room.
"Hey Chris is Menthis ready for his first day in security? Asks Junior walking up.
"Do you really care or was your follow up question asking for my breakfast muffin?" Asks Chris with a laugh.
"Yeah so about that muffin…." Says Junior.
"Here." Says Chris tossing him the muffin, "And I'm sure he'll be fine.
(Suddenly Menthis stumbles in looking like a disheveled mess.)
"Wow you look rough." Says Junior eyeing him up and down biting into the muffin.
"And why are you covered in bruises and bird dook?" Asks Chris.
"I don't wanna talk about it…" Says Menthis stumbling towards his security desk, "Why exactly did you need me to work here again?" He asks resting his head on the table.
"Because I'm tired of you sitting at home doing nothing all day." Says Chris.
"Well for your information I just so happen to run a emotional support group for people who identify as ducks, transquacks to be precise." Says Menthis lifting his head up looking at Chris.
"Why? Who would honestly need that?" Asks Chris.
"Listen me and Javier Von Quackington were about to make a very important doctor duck break through." Replies Menthis.
"You're a weird dude I hope you know this…" Sighs Chris.
"Hmph says you." Replies Menthis leaning back in the chair at the desk.
"Well you should get ready for your shift, your stuffs in the Janitors closet, I have paperwork to do in my office if you need anything come get me." he says walking off.
(Later Menthis is opening the closet seeing peter crying into a half eaten tub of ice cream.)
"Uh...I'm gonna need your mace and badge" Menthis reaching out his hand.
"O-okay I'm soooo sorry; I didn't mean to mace the orphans honest." Cries Peter handing him his mace and badge.
"I...I don't know how to respond to that...bu-but thank you for your service Mister G." Replies Menthis awkwardly taking them from Peter's hands and into his.
"Oh my God!" Sobs Peter slamming the door to the Janitors closet behind Menthis.
"Why is your dad in the Janitors closet crying into ice cream?" Asks Menthis walking up.
"It's a different reason everyday for him." Sighs Chris looking up from his desk, "Don't forget you work a double today."
"Wow you're faith in me on my first day must be high especially on my first day." Says Menthis with a slightly sarcastic smirk.
"Honestly it is because I know you can do it." Says Chris with a smile.
(Later that afternoon.)
"You ready for your first night shift?" Asks Chris.
"No not really...kinda want to go home...but thanks for asking…" Sighs Menthis tiredly.
"That's the spirit." Replies Says Chris enthusiastically.
"I don't think you understand what sarcasm is.." Sighs Menthis walking to his desk and sitting at his desk watching Chris walk off.
As Chris is walking off he says, "I know you can do this, I have faith in you!"
"Yep gotcha." Menthis sighs spinning around in his chair, "What to do, what to do, what to do?"
(Suddenly a pair of eyes open and something dashes towards Menthis.)
Peter slowly gets up still woozy from his sugar crash crawling out of the janitors closet, "Oh...oh god I need water." He says heading towards the bathrooms walking in and rinsing off his face and a shadow scurries past him, "Menthis is that you bud?" He asks nervously walking towards the exit.
(Peter takes two steps from the doorway and something grabs him.)
(Sometime later Chris is just getting home and he walks inside his phone rings and it's his mother.)
"Chris did your father go home with you?" She asks.
"No he's not home by now?" Asks Chris his voice growing in concern.
"No I haven't seen him since he left for work this morning and he isn't picking up his cellphone I'm getting worried." Lois responds.
"Know what I'll try calling Menthis, okay mom I'll call you right back if not try to get some sleep." Says Chris hanging up and dialing Menthis but he doesn't pick up so he calls Junior.
"Hello?" Answers Junior.
"Hey junior it's me Chris, have you heard from Menthis or my dad?" He asks.
"No." Responds Junior.
"Well we need to go back to the brewery and check on them." Says Chris.
"Do we have to? It's just Menthis and your dad goes missing every other weekend so does this need to be a problem especially a 2am problem?" Asks Junior with sarcasm flowing through his voice.
"Yes" says Chris hanging up before he can answer.
"Well apparently it's too late for his bitch ass to grasp my sarcasm but I guess I'm fired if his dad's dead." Sighs Junior grabbing his keys heading towards his car.
(Slowly Peter comes to.)
"Where the hell am I?" Asks Peter looking around trying to get a grasp of his surroundings noticing a unconscious Menthis laying by him.
"He's awake bring him." Says a voice.
(Before Peter can react something is put on his head and he's taken off to somewhere else.)
"Menthis! Dad! Are you guys okay?!" Shouts Chris walking into the building looking for them.
*Crash!*
"Dad?...Men..you guys better not be playing a joke on me." Says Chris with fear starting to show in his voice looking around even under the tables.
(Red eyes are visibly shown watching Chris as he checks the security desk and when he has his back towards them and then something rushes at him.)
(In the other room from earlier Menthis shown is slowly coming to.)
"You're awake drink this you'll need your strength for what's to come." Says a voice putting a flask to Menthis's lips.
(Menthis gets a big earthy taste going straight through his lips and his first thought is to spit it out but the man holds his nose forcing him to drink till he's finished the flask.)
"What? (Cough.) Off Brand Duff piss do you have me drinking buddy? (Cough Spit Cough!)" Wheezes Menthis still tasting the horrible taste on his lips.
"The Holy Grail of originals Pawtucket Patriot Ale my good sir." Says the voice.
"Explains a lot.." Says Menthis spitting and getting up wiping his mouth on his sleeve, "My second question is where the hell in God's good earth am I?"
"Alas we are in the depths of the Pawtucket Pat Dungeons and I am your guard." Says the Orange Figure looking out the window.
Peter slowly wakes up his face half caked in a crust of rainbow colored vomit, "Damnit!" He says slowly getting up aggravated by his situation and almost tripping in the unbearable smelling gunk, "Well I guess this wouldn't be my first time going home smelling like the inside of a burning dumpster couch at a music festival...but that's a story for another time, now where am I?" He says brushing himself off adjusting his glasses and looking around and walking not really knowing where he's going, "Wow this place is pretty big, seems pretty familiar also." Peter says to himself trying to remember his hardest why the place seems so familiar to him when he hears a door open and he hides himself behind a pillar.
"Where do we need to keep the fat blonde one?" Asks a voice.
(Peter slowly peers around the corner of the pillar noticing two Orange figures who have a unconscious Chris laying by them.)
"Oh no they have Chris!" Says Peter to himself a bit too loudly ducking back behind pillar.
"What was that?" Asks the bigger figure.
"Probably nothing you head back to the secret entrance and make sure nothing else happens, before blonde one got off his phone I thought I heard him talking to someone, he sounded fat I'm unsure if that helps" Says the smaller watching the bigger walk off.
"Hah! Damnit!" Peter says accidentally laughing at the fat remark about Junior too loudly exposing himself.
"Alright I heard you there's no more hiding!" Says The Figure looking for Peter.
Peter takes a deep breath, "I hope this works" picking up a half broken beer bottle and throwing it against the wall.
(The Figure walks towards the sound of the noise and Peter runs up and grabs Chris dragging him through the door and another.)
"Come on Chris you gotta get up I can't do this without you." Says Peter setting Chris down trying to wake him up but nothing is working and he hears someone heading towards them, "Uh..uh...oh lois if you're going to wear that tube top Chris bought you, you could at least wear a bra." He says.
Chris slowly wakes up, "Mom's not wearing what? And where are we?" He says still laying in a daze.
"I don't know bud, also if we survive this me and you need to have a long discussion with me on your relationship with your mother because I haven't heard someone say that name no bra and someone get up that fast in years and going to you might be cheaper than therapy." Peter Replies.
"What?" Asks Chris in shock and confusion at awkward accumulation of the situation.
"Nothing just know things aren't going so well and your mom likes it weird now and you might one day...know what nevermind quiet." Peter says shushing Chris and pushing him against the wall hiding.
(Later Junior is pulling up in his car seeing Chris's left in the brewery parking lot and he gets out walks towards it and the big figure comes out and ambushes him.)
"Please don't hurt me it's almost 4am and I don't care about any of this and I'm just here to see if my idiot friends died please dear god don't hit me in face it doesn't absorb punches it's just fat." Junior says holding his hands up to shield his pudgy face.
"Know what you're honest kid why don't you just go home." Says the big Orange Figure.
"For real?" Asks Junior in shock.
"Yeah." The Orange Figure.
"I think I need a few extra days to recover is that okay?" Asks Junior.
"Wha-huh-that's a weird question why are you asking me?" Asks the Figure thrown by the question.
"Because I hate my job and I hate my friends who call me for after midnight favors!" Exclaims Junior in exhausted frustration.
"Know what buddy we all have been there just take the rest of the week off." Says the Figure walking Junior to his car.
"Bless you sir, bless you." Says Junior shaking the guys hand getting in his car and driving off.
(Back in the room with Menthis.)
"So let me get this straight you guys are the remaining members of the left over Choomba Woombas from before Pawtucket sold the factory?" Asks Menthis pacing back and forth in the room.
"Tis be true and yet unfortunate." Sighs the Choomba Woomba still looking out the window.
"Why not leave?" Says Menthis noticing him looking out.
"Leave?" Asks the Choomba Woomba looking back at Menthis.
"Yeah? Don't you want to see what's outside that window?" Asks Menthis with a warm smile.
"Yes...at times I've thought about it...but what if I don't like what's outside?" Sighs the Choomba Woomba looking back out his window.
"That's what makes what seeing what's outside your window worth it; it's the experiences in life that make it worth it fear should never hold any value over that." Says Menthis, "Sometimes you have to take a chance and sing your heart song."
"I don't quite understand?" Asks the Choomba Woomba curiously.
"Listen I'm probably not the best person to say this but usually if I'm stuck or having problems I like to sing it helps my mind get going." Says Menthis scratching his bead.
"You think so?" Asks the Choomba Woomba.
"It never hurts to try." Replies Menthis with a smile.
"Okay." Says the Choomba Woomba and begins to sing.
No New Year's Day to celebrate
(It shows Peter fighting the Choomba Woombas.)
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
(The Choomba Woomba jumps on Chris's back trying to choke him and he backs up slamming him into the wall.)
No first of spring
(Peter punches two Choomba Woombas and knocks two other's heads together.)
No song to sing
"Come on dad!" Shouts Chris to Peter climbing the ladder.
In fact here's just another ordinary day
"On my way!" Replies Peter body slamming a Choomba Woomba and running towards the ladder.
No April rain
(Peter kicks a Choomba Woomba trying to grab his leg in the face and Chris pulls him up.)
No flowers bloom
(Chris does a jump kick at the Choomba Woomba running at them.)
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
(Chris and Peter start running towards the door to the next room.)
But what it is, is something true
(Suddenly three Choomba Woombas come out of the door and one of them is massive.)
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
The two smaller Choomba Woombas run at them and Peter roundhouse kicks them and then says, "Road House."
(Menthis begins singing with the Choomba Woomba Guard and their silhouettes appear in the background singing during the fight.)
I just called to say I love you
(The massive Choomba Woomba runs at Peter punching him.)
I just called to say how much I care
"Is that all you got?" Asks Peter wiping the blood from his upper lip.
I just called to say I love you
"Aaaah! Screams both Peter and the Choomba Woomba running at each other.
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
(Peter jumps on the Choomba Woomba tackling both of them off the railing.)
"Dad no!" Shouts Chris watching them fall down turning towards the door and kicking the door open he goes in, "You gotta be kidding me…"
Later that morning.
(Chris and Menthis are in Chris's car Chris glaring at him Menthis sitting there grinning as they drive home.)
"I was wrong where I put my faith…you're fired." Says Chris angrily.
"You were and thank you." Says Menthis with a cheeky grin.
