I do not own Regular Show.
Enjoy!
"Sherm. Help me set up the plates!" Baraba said, Rigby mom.
"Why?" Sherm said, Rigby dad, it was a bad enough that his wife forced him into clothes other than his vest and underpants.
"I can't do this on my own" Baraba said, "Mordecai parents are coming over as well to celebrate thanks given."
"What's the point. It's just going to be sad anyway" Sherm said, "Rigby, got fired."
"He said he left" Baraba corrected him.
"We both know he was fired, Baraba," Sherm said, "Do you honestly believe that he can be successful enough to quit his job? We had Thanksgiving at his workplace last time. When the Thanksgiving mood left me, I realised how much of a failure he was unlike Don."
"SHERM!" Baraba said.
Just then they heard the sound of a car door slamming shut.
"The guests have arrived," Sherm said, getting up and saying. "I'll go greet the guest" knowing full well his wife would give him a disapproving look.
He didn't care.
The first to arrive was Mordecai's parents.
Hilary combed her blond hair back and wore a pink dress with heels.
William wore a suit.
"I BROUGHT SALAD!" Said, Hilary.
"BRING IT RIGHT IN!" Baraba said as the two saw her setting up the table and smelled something wonderful in the kitchen.
Hilary went to the kitchen to help Baraba while the two husbands sat down and stared at each other awkwardly.
Some of Rigby's cousins began to show up as well, some of them brought something with them to share with the family/
And then Don car pulled up at the driver way, and Sherm immediately got up and headed to the door, regardless of his wife disapproving gaze.
Sherm opened the door and saw a giant buff Raccoon with no clothes on.
"DONNIE!" Sherm said.
"DAD!" Said, the man.
Both of them hugged each other.
"Come in. Come in" Said, Sherm and the man did.
"I brought some deviled eggs" Said, the man.
"Great. Put it in the kitchen" Said, his mother, Baraba.
"Rigby's not here, yet?" Don said, looking around.
"He probably didn't want to show up from shame," Sherm said, before saying "He got fired."
"SHERM!" Babara said. "HE DECIDED TO LEAVE!"
They sat down.
Suddenly there was music heard in the background coming from outside.
"What is that?" Sherm said, seeing his house vibrate from the music.
They all turned to look out the window, only to be stunned to see an outstretched limousine pull up onto the porch.
The limousine did not go away.
Suddenly they heard a ring at the door bell.
"I'll answer it," Said, Sherm grumbling, he was about to eat and was apparently not in a good mood.
He opened it only to get the shock of his lifetime.
A bluebird in tight, expensive jeans, shades, a red jacket with gold shoulder plates, black shoes and shades greeted him.
Who the hell?
"Sherm. Are we too late?" Said, the voice of none other than Mordecai.
"M-MORDECAI!?" Sherm said.
The man walked into the room, and the two families got a good look at the successful looking Mordecai.
However, the person right behind the bird was even more shocking because it was a large buff Raccoon who had shaved most of his tail, wore a white designer t-shirt over a designer red stripped woolly jacket, wore tight jeans and shoes, he had a black moustache on and was wearing shades.
Their alternate counterparts may be douchebag's, but they know how to dress in style.
"Hi, everybody" Came Rigby voice making all their jaws drop. "You don't mind if we brought a few things?"
And out of the limousine came genuinely servants hired, carrying food.
Premium Ribs were placed on the table.
Premium Wings with special dipping sauce was put on the table.
Another finally grilled turkey was placed in front of them all.
Finally, golden yams were placed on the table.
The two families look at the high classed food that was placed in front of them in shock.
"You may all go," Rigby said.
"Yes, Master Rigby," They all said, with a bow before getting right back into the limousine before it drove away to no doubt drop them off back home.
Both Rigby and Mordecai sat down at the table and Sherm was still at the door with unblinking eyes.
The entire two families looked at the successfully looking two and then what they brought with unblinking eyes.
"Who are you?" William said, having been the one to finally have his brain working again.
"It's me, Mordecai, pops" Said, Mordecai taking off his shades.
"It's also me Rigby," Rigby said, taking off his shades.
"B-But you look so successful!" Hilary said.
"Didn't I write you a letter that said I left the park?" Mordecai said.
Yes, he did, but they thought he had found a better job or was fired!
What on earth was this!?
"And since when did you grow Rigby?" Don said, seeing his now much taller older brother.
"It turns out; I was cursed as a baby, so that wasn't what I was supposed to look like," Rigby said, surprising all of them. "But we got Skips to look at me and broke the curse. I wouldn't be surprised if Dad ticked somebody off when Mom was pregnant with me, and that person cursed me."
His theory was very believable.
Because the man was just terrible.
Sherm finally sat down and looked to see that he now had to giant sons.
Noticing that nobody was touching the luxurious looking food they brought, Mordecai said.
"You guys can take whatever you like. We just thought we should give back to the family this year. You saved us from a crisis once before, so it was only fair we give back."
….We'll if he said so.
People started grabbing the ribs and golden turkey instantly, not even Sherm could resist.
"Oh, my god. This taste so good" Said, Hilary, eating the Premium wings with the special dipping sauce from Wing Kingdom. "We're doing you buy this, son?"
If she knew she was eating 200-pound chicken wing's she would have probably sold them.
They all agreed that the food they brought was specular, as they chowed down on the food in front of them and both Mordecai and Rigby went to fill their own plates before it was all gone.
"...So, what have you all been up to?" Said, Babara, even she had to admitted that the chicken they brought was better than the one she had prepared.
Sherm was unusually quiet as he ate.
"We'll; my firm signed with Zero. The corporation" Don said everybody else was pretty much still in school.
"That's amazing, Don," said, Baraba before saying the question they all really wanted to ask. "What about you Rigby?"
For the first time in years, Rigby actually had accomplishments.
"Well, Mordecai and I saved up enough tip money to get our self a stockbroker," Rigby said, surprising them all and for some reason, he had a British accent in his voice. "Once we had enough money, we quit in style but of course. We gave our boss ten grand because even we had to admit that most of the time we were terrible employees who constantly made our boss mad."
"Rigby, what is wrong with your voice?" Said, one of his cousin's.
"Sorry, we want to England like two weeks ago, and Rigby picked up the accent fast, and before we know it, he couldn't stop," Mordecai said, his reasoning stunned them, at first it was for Eileen to sound like a sexy foreigner and now the Raccoon couldn't turn it off.
At least, he wasn't one of the guys who butchered the British accent because he knew what genuine British people sounded like.
"So, I was saying," Rigby said, "After we parted ways with our boss, we've chilled in our downtown apartment ever for a couple of days, but we soon realised that since we had so much free time, what on earth were we going to do with it. So, I decided to go back to school and work hard to get a degree."
Everybody looked at him with wide eyes.
"And I opened up a small business," Mordecai said, "In the gaming industry. My policy is, if they don't have passion then they're not hired. Why should I pay money to people who hate their job's? The first game is a mobile game because of time and budget. It should have been out this morning. It's called 'Running from the God's."
There was a gasp on the table as one Rigby cousins recognised it.
"Wait, you're the owner of the Company who made the viral game 'Running from the God's?" Said, the girl. "That game has got millions of downloads already. My favourite character is by far the God of Death because he rides on a motorcycle and has a muscly arm."
Everybody was surprised.
"The game was based on experience's," Mordecai said, so she had it. "Of course, I had to pay some god's royalty just to use their appearance's."
He didn't want another, God coming after him for using their image without permission.
Everybody mumbled to themselves, they both looked to be doing very good.
"...So, any girlfriends?" Said, Babara.
"Eileen and I are actually doing pretty good," Rigby said.
However, Mordecai was as silent as the grave because he didn't know about his feeling for Margaret anymore.
He spent so much time, trying to warp himself into a guy who could just snap his fingers and they would just be an item.
Now he was that guy... and if he was honest, the rose coloured lenses were off now that he had to make sure nobody was using him for his money and she was kind of bossy.
It would just be little things that made him say 'What?' in his head, like the fact Margret wanted to come over to his apartment all the time, and she would just look at him as if she just expected him to hand over stuff to her.
He was beginning to think Margaret had never seriously loved somebody before and that was the reason why all her boyfriends only lasted a few weeks.
"...I'm looking," Mordecai said, surprising those who heard.
Then the Dish's began to be cleared.
"Let us help" Said, Mordecai and Rigby.
Even though they were rich now, they were still not above cleaning up the dishes.
They helped in cleaning up despite the protests of the mothers of the two families, and the two families decided to mingle with each other.
"SON! LET'S HAVE A PROPER LOOK AT YOU!" William said as Mordecai came over.
Rigby decided to go outside and sit on one of the lawn chairs next to Don, much to the man's own surprise.
"I really am taller than you now," Rigby said, as he saw he had quite a bit of height over Don's head.
"And you look older now too," Don said, being well natured about it.
Then Rigby did something shocking, he got out his wallet and gave him a slip of paper when Don saw it he was shocked.
It was a check for 10, 000 dollars.
"W-What this for?" Don said.
"It's for all the time's; I wrecked your car," Rigby said, stunning the man. "I got more than enough money to buy my own car now, and you lend me your car knowing that I will wreck it. So, today I came to pay you back for the money you spent just fixing up the damage I caused. So, here is 10, 000."
The man was absolutely shocked.
Those who heard, were absolutely shocked.
"I-I can't take your money, big brother" Don said.
"Take it. The guilt will eat me up inside if you don't" Rigby said. "And if I ever borrow your car again in the future and wreck it. I'll pay for the repairs and arranged a ride for you so that you don't have to take a bike to work until it's repaired"
The man could only take the check dumbly.
Somebody sat down next to them.
It was their father, Sherm and Don decided to leave right there and then.
"So, you're a big man now, Rigby," Said, the man, of course, the man had heard it all. "I don't think you could do it, but it seems you've made it. Both in body and in mind. I now have two son's that I can say that I'm proud of and can brag about. You'll welcome into the house at any time."
His father was proud of him.
This was the moment he had been dreaming of his whole life, his father to finally say proudly that he was his son but, in that moment, only emptiness greeted Rigby.
That ritual had made him grow up physically and mentally.
He was no longer that guy who would do anything for attention.
"Thanks. I'll call, mom. Every once in a while" Came Rigby unnaturally cold response to his father acknowledgment.
"Huh" Said, the man.
"No, offence dad but I just don't care what you think anymore." Said, Rigby stunning the man. "I've waited my whole life just to hear you say those words and now I have. I'm a success, and you want to love me now, but I don't feel anything towards you. You said it yourself while I was growing up, you never wanted me as your son and considered Don to be your only son. Any feelings I had for you was laughed off and mocked. I had issues because of you which I'm trying to sort out right now." here Rigby took off his glasses. "So, for the both of us, please focus your love back on Don, because I don't need it. If you need surgery or something urgent, then I'll provide what I can because we're father and son. However, if you want to play ball or be a father to me. Then think about this. I'm 23 years old. You've had over two decades to be a proper father to me, but what did you do in all that time? Nothing. So, let's be nothing to each other."
Then Rigby got up and walked away leaving a frozen man.
Rigby went back into the house and found Mordecai, talking to his parents.
"Hey, Mordecai. I got a test tomorrow" Rigby said, "I'm going back home to study." unlike Mordecai who was in good spirits, Rigby spirits had been crushed.
"What your leaving?" Baraba said, hearing this and everybody turned to look at him making Rigby feel awkward.
"Sorry, but I have a test to study for" Rigby said, he had just called a taxi.
He made his way to the door and saw his father come into the house.
He didn't even look at the man and walked straight out, the taxi arrived 5 minutes later and he got in.
The vehicle drove back to the apartment.
And scene!
