A/N: Finale for this story. I should've ended this a while ago, but I tried to keep it going too far. This ending won't be long. It's just a summary of what happens after Mordecai gets out of college. Chapters will have been removed so the connection makes sense. I will also be posting a one-shot today probably. It's just something that came to me randomly when I was thinking about what I was going to do with this story. Anyway, hope everyone will be somewhat satisfied with this ending. I'd say it takes place 6 months after Mordecai gets out of college.
Mordecai walked into his house with his bag at his side. He then set it down on the couch before rubbing his neck. Sitting at a computer with his neck at such an awkward angle had put a lot of stress on it.
He then grabbed a soda out of the fridge and proceeded to gulp it down before relaxing on the couch with his eyes closed.
"Long day?" Margaret asked him, coming out of a room in the back. Mordecai opened his eyes and smiled at her.
"Long, but fun. Right now, we're putting in work for a current game they were designing, but they'll let me present my ideas once that's over with," he explained to Margaret.
"That's good. You worked hard to get this far," Margaret told him.
"I know I did. We can easily support ourselves now. The fact that you're still making decent money as a reporter and we divide the bills in half, just gives us a lot of money left over," Mordecai told her.
"I noticed that. And you've been saving for a while to buy me this," Margaret said, flashing him the 5 carat engagement ring. Mordecai simply smiled.
"What can I say? I wasn't going to wait much longer than I had to. Can blame a guy for wanting to hold you down," Mordecai said, getting up and twirling her around like they were in a dance. Margaret wrapped her arms around Mordecai in a tight hug.
"You're the best," she told him.
"What can I say? I'm irresistible," Mordecai told her before kissing her on her neck.
"Mordecai? Margaret? You there?" Rigby yelled through the front door while knocking loudly.
Mordecai stopped kissing Margaret to groan loudly in disappointment. Margaret kissed him on the cheek while looking at him sympathetically.
"Later. I promise," she said, opening the door up to be met with Rigby and Eileen. "You two have the worst timing ever."
Rigby looked past Margaret to see Mordecai stony-faced. Rigby grinned.
"Did I... interrupt something?" he said with a wide grin on his face.
"No kidding Sherlock," Mordecai said moodily.
"Well, we came over to hang out. Or are you too busy or trying to get busy?" Rigby asked, making Mordecai punch his friend in the arm. But he was actually on Mordecai's level. Mordecai was always a weed, but Rigby really hit a growth spurt over the last few years. Same went for Eileen, though she wasn't as tall.
"Owww! Stop it!" Rigby groaned. Eileen simply shook her head.
"Some things will never change, will they?" she asked Margaret.
"Not at all. But that's what makes Mordecai and Rigby. How's living together for you two been?" Margaret asked.
"Decent. Rigby found a better paying job that had about the same labor as the park, but it includes no house to live in. He's had to stay at my place until he made enough money to buy one," Eileen explained to Margaret.
"Mordecai makes good money at that game designing place he works at. So much he was able to buy me this in a few weeks," Margaret said, showing Eileen her ring, who squealed at the sight of it. Rigby looked at his friend surprised.
"You proposed to her? When?" he asked.
"Five months ago. As soon as I was able to afford a ring," Mordecai told him. "I decided I'm not going to wait any longer."
"Well, congratulations man. And who's going to be the best man?" Rigby asked in a rhetorical tone. Mordecai rolled his eyes before smiling at his friend.
"You. Duh, dummy. Who else would it be?" he asked just as rhetorically. But then that tone soon changed into one of fake realization. "Oooh! I know! Dom." Rigby gazed stonily at his friend while Mordecai had a big grin on his face at how he was able to get to his friend.
"You better not," Rigby threatened hollowly.
"I'm just kidding. Of course it's going to be you," Mordecai said, nudging his friend playfully. "So what did you really come over here for?"
"Well, we were going to see if you wanted to go out, but now it seems we ought to throw a party for the soon to be married couple," Eileen said, giving off another excited squeal while staring at Margaret's ring.
"Then lets go out. I'm sure everyone will love to hear about this too," Rigby said, walking out with Eileen following not far behind. Mordecai grabbed Margaret's hand before slowly following behind them.
"This is the life I've been dreaming of," Mordecai thought while smiling.
A/N: Like I said, this ending was going to be pretty short. That's officially the end of Conflict. Like I said, I might be posting a one-shot later today. Hope you all enjoyed the story my people.
