I do not own Regular Show.
Enjoy!
Against, what Muscleman had said, Rigby and Mordecai did not show up to work the next day.
And the people who visited to the park early in the morning to get a shot at the cleanness, noticed immediately how everything did not sparkle as what they had grown used.
They complained immediately only to find out the two that did it, did not work at the Park anymore because they apparently did not need the job anymore.
However, the complaining continued.
And to make matters worse, from Muscleman contacts he was sent pictures of Mordecai and Rigby, in their limousine and getting expensive wings delivers to them by their driver.
He was also getting images of them picking up Margaret and Eileen after work in their limousine.
The slap to his face was a major one.
The two girls stayed for a few hours to marvel at the apartment until it got so late that they had to get back to their own apartment.
Now it was morning, and both Mordecai and Rigby realised they didn't have to get up at 3 in the morning.
They got bored quickly.
"IM SO BORED!" Rigby said, his dream of a life of no work had ended fast.
The racoon was upside down and in a bath towel.
"We'll, how is the new butt?" Mordecai said, reading a magazine on his bed. "It doesn't look funny now. I saw that they used a drool bucket because you were drooling while you were unconscious."
"STOP TALKING!" Rigby said, with a red face.
Mordecai laughed.
"I'm so bored that I want to have a house party," Rigby said.
"Are you sure?" Mordecai said, "We are rich now. What if somebody tries to steal our stuff? Get into our wallets? We invite some people over, and those people invite some other people. Next thing we know, we're having a party full of strangers, and some of our stuff goes missing. What if our wallets go missing?"
Rigby gave a painfully groan, as he realised how easy it was to steal nice stuff.
"But I'm so bored!" Rigby said.
Silence.
"...Hey, Rigby" Mordecai suddenly said.
"What?" Rigby said.
"Why are you so small?" Mordecai suddenly.
The suddenly question surprised the Raccoon.
"Huh?" Rigby said.
"Your whole family is tall even your cousins are tall and yet, you're the only one in your family who is small. Why?" Mordecai said, his question immediately stunned the Raccoon. "You must have been eaten what everybody else has been eating while growing up and yet, why are you tiny? It's been bothering since I saw your little brother and your family but I never found the moment to bring it up."
And Rigby could not say anything because it was true, everybody in his family was huge even the girls, and yet, he was the only one tiny and weak looking.
Why?
"...I don't know" Rigby said.
"What to call a Doctor so that they can examine your body? It's better than doing nothing." Mordecai said.
And Rigby was bored enough to do that and said. "Fine"
2 hours later, a person came from the hospital having been promised 75 dollars an hour.
The man with short black hair and a doctor uniform came into the apartment and realised immediately that this was not a joke and was instantly all business when he saw the expensively dressed two.
"You see. All my family is huge" Rigby said, holding a picture frame of him with his family in the most recent photo. "And yet, I'm the only one who is small and weak looking. I ate the same thing's as everybody else does growing up but for some reason, I barely grow."
"I'm a normal height for a dude," Mordecai said, "And this is Rigby" putting his hand over Rigby who didn't appreciate the gesture.
"Hmmm," the man said, bending down. "It is very odd. Science points out that you shouldn't even be this small even if you had a short gene, your arms look very fragile. Have you ever thought about somebody cursing you as a baby or as a toddler?"
We'll; supernatural thing's happened all the time.
"A curse?" Rigby said.
"You know. Did they tick somebody off that they shouldn't have when you were little?" Mordecai said, not completely ruling it out.
"We can get a curse breaker to see you, but if there is indeed a curse over Rigby's head, then it shouldn't be broken in such an enclosed space" Said, the man making a good point.
"And how much would it cost us just have a curse breaker do a ceremony?" Mordecai said.
"200. Curse's don't break easily," Said, the man being sincere. "Powerful magic requires a Powerful curse breaker" before saying. "That would be 75 dollars."
They paid the man for his time, and he left, leaving them his card and number for the curse break.
"Let's call the number," Said, Mordecai immediately.
Mordecai was immediately dialling.
The person picked up and said. "Hello? Curse break Skips here."
"Wait. Skips!?" Both Mordecai and Rigby said.
"Wait. Mordecai. Rigby?" Skips said on the other end.
"I'm not actually surprised he's a pro Curse breaker," Rigby said.
"Skips. We need your help" Mordecai said.
"Go on" Said, Skips, and they explained the situation to him. Finally, the man said. "We'll if Science can't explain it, then it's possible that Rigby has been cursed. Give me your address, and I'll be right there."
And they did so.
The man got on a bus and made his way to the apartment, all the while looking at where they lived with wide eyes.
"You guys really don't need to work at a park no more," Skips said, skipping through the door.
"So, Skips?" Rigby said as the gorilla finished examined him.
"It's faint, but there is powerful magic surrounding you." Skips said, despite just waving a bone around Rigby. "I'm going to need some ingredients to prepare the ritual."
"Well help out anyway, we can," Mordecai said, "We'll give you money. If Rigby really isn't supposed to look like this, then I'll help my best friend out."
And Rigby was stunned and touched by Mordecai words.
They talked with Skips about the ingredient and gave him money to go shopping for the items before the man left, they completely trusted Skips to spend that money on the ritual instead of blowing it on whatever he liked.
They waited a week in agony before they got a phone call from Skips saying everything was prepared and that Rigby had to be present to carry out the ritual.
The catch was, they had to return to the park to do it.
But they certainly weren't going back as employees.
"Let's go, Rigby," Said, Mordecai as he put on a black hoody.
"Coming" Said, Rigby putting on a red sweater.
They both weren't even trying to look nice, but they were rich so who cares.
They got out and made their way to the limousine, the driver recognised them immediately and gave them a respectful bow.
They had decided to keep the man on and hire him full time.
They got into the vehicle.
"Where to?" Said, the driver.
"We need to go to the park" Said, Mordecai.
"Yes, master Mordecai," Said, the man and the vehicle began to leave.
They arrived at the park 20 minutes later and almost were hit with memories of almost dying and having fun at the park, before walking right in, the time was the dead of night.
They walked along the path until they heard the sound of weird humming and chanting.
They picked up the pace and ran towards it; their hunch proved to be correct.
It was Skips, and he was sitting down, there was a big fire in front of him.
"Skips. Were here" Rigby said, getting the man's attention.
"Good" Skips said, before saying. "Now, Rigby get in the fire."
"WAIT! WHAT!?" Mordecai said, and Rigby looked like he was having a heart attack.
"What you see before you is no ordinary fire but a purification one" Said, Skips. "It will not harm you, just the curse around you."
But Rigby still looked at the fire as if he was staring death in the face.
"Rigby, do it," Mordecai said, stunning him. "Do you want to be weak and small your who life? I can't properly touch you because I'm always afraid that I'll snap you in half. Do you want that to be your whole life?"
No, Rigby did not.
It was probably his faith in Skips that made him take the plunge into the fire.
Nothing happened to him.
"Hey, this doesn't hurt at all," Rigby said.
"NOW!" Skips suddenly yelled before the verse's in the chant drastically changed. "Snaw asdosds adwew adsdsd idmwew-"
Rigby eyes suddenly blasted out with a green light and his mouth did the same, he rose.
Mordecai was creeped out to hear the sound of laughter and the wind picking up drastically.
"I curse you. And you and you" Said an old hag's voice.
"Begone, Witch!" Skips said, before saying to Mordecai. "Mordecai, she's got me locked. It's up to you to put in the most important ingredient into the fire."
"Huh?" Mordecai said.
"It's right at my foot" Skips said.
And Mordecai looked to find a small wooden bowl containing something pink looking and then he saw the possessed Rigby.
"Damn it. Why am I risking my life, again?" Mordecai said, before picking up the bowl and turning to the possessed Rigby and ran towards him, dodging the gravel that was trying to kill him as he drew closer.
"I'VE FOUGHT COUNTLESS THINGS! A WITCH IS NOT GOING TO SCARE ME!" Mordecai said before he threw the bowl in the fire.
The moment the ingredient came in contact with the fire, there was a massive explosion that sent everybody flying back.
Mordecai was thrown into stomach first at a Pole, he understandably almost threw up right there.
Both Skips and Mordecai began to pick each other up seconds later.
"D-Did, it work?" Mordecai asked, limping to his best friends' location and behind him was Skips.
They saw one single flame remain where Rigby used to be and then something stood up in the shadows.
Something tall and buff.
The fire finally revealed what it was and they were all shocked.
It was a tall and buff racoon that looked similar to Don.
However, Mordecai saw the remains of what could only be a red sweater on the Raccoon.
"...R-Rigby?" Mordecai said.
"Hi, Mordecai" Came Rigby voice out of the buff racoon. "Have you shrunk since the last time I saw you?"
"Dude your totally ripped, just like Don!" Mordecai said.
"I feel like I'm taller than Don, now," Rigby said. "And I need to go out shopping for new clothes."
"Skips, I don't know how we can ever repay you," Said, Mordecai turning to the Gorilla. "Name your price."
"...Ur, well. I've been trying to get Massage chair, but there isn't room for it" Skip said, even he needed to sit down and relax.
"Done," Both Mordecai and Rigby said.
"We'll have it delivered to you, asap," Mordecai said.
And then both Rigby and Mordecai left the park, for the first time Rigby was taller than Mordecai and Rigby had trouble getting into a vehicle because of his height.
#Several days later#
"Package, for Skips," Said, a delivery man in a green uniform in front of the house.
Those who worked at the park went to see the package and were stunned to see a large box with a note that said 'Thank you'.
"That's me," Skips said, skipping towards it and signing for it.
"What's in the box's?" Muscleman said.
"Something, I didn't think I'll ever get," Skips said, mysteriously, he wheeled the box to his space where he unboxed it.
The box contained a peach-coloured fluffy chair with a remote attached to it.
It was beautiful.
He read the note.
-Thanks, Skips, for breaking the curse over me. It seems the ritual also removed a cloud over my head. I've decided to finish my education by going back to Highschool'-Rigby
"Those boy's, are doing just fine," Skips said, before taking a seat on the chair.
It would take him 2 hours to figure out the chair.
And scene!
Next chapter, its Thanksgiving and both Mordecai and Rigby have decided to dress like their rock star counterpart from the future to visit their families. Review/fav and follow!
