Appreciation day

The Park

It was a nice and sunny day at the park all the park workers were gathered outside Pop's house on the front steps waiting for Benson to finish up appreciation day so they could get to work.

Benson standing in front of a table with appreciation plague says "The next person to receive an appreciation plague is… Skips." Everyone claps as Skips got up from the middle of the front porch stairs to get his plague Benson then says "It says here in the Book of Park Records that you went a whole year without taking a single day off."

Muscle man then stood up and shouted "Wow that's like, 400 days."

Benson the refocuses everyone o him with a cough and says "Thanks Skips we really appreciate it! The next is…Pops! Pops then stand up and shout "HOORAY!" Benson then says "For helping a baby bird back into its nest."

Mordecai ad Rigby who sitting at the top of the steps waiting for their names to be called were talking to each other quietly "Oh dude we're next!" Rigby then said "That plague is gonna look sweet hang over my bet!" Mordecai then said "Yeah! Finally some recognition!" The both high fived each other in excitement for thinking they are up next.

Naruto who was sitting in between where Skips was and Mordecai ad Rigby Just smiled at what he just heard Mordecai ad Rigby just said and looked down at his own appreciation plague his was for helping. Skips do some of the heavy lifting and keeping the cops off muscle man ad high five ghost when they take the cart out of the park to retrieve something.

Ho yes that was a fun experience that he had to talk to the cops to keep the cart from being take because of muscle mans reckless driving with it and him from be arrested for public endangerment.

Yes that was a fun day to have all round muscle man tried to make a joke about it but stop when he saw the evil glint I naruto's eye. The reason he stopped is because Muscle man is a well known prankster and is quiet famous among the other pranksters of the world. But there is an unwritten rule among them and that is to never antagonize a fox, kitsune and monkey because they are considered the most sadistic pranksters in the world.

Muscle man knew if he made a joke right now he would make it 100 time worst on himself that it already is. He knows Naruto is planning to prank him hard later he would rather not make anymore horrible than it will be.

So he decided to not say anything and take his punishment like a man when naruto caught him after that thought he ran as fast as he could to hide from him but he forgot Naruto had a very strong sense of smell.

Soon after that muscle man was hog tied o a branch in one of the trees on the major walk ways in the park dressed as a chicken with honey be what kept the feather attached to him. To say that was not a good day for anyone.

But Muscle ma learned a valuable lesson that day, it was that don't anger Naruto in any way, shape or form and to watch how he drives from now on with the cops not be as lenient as they used to be.

Well back to the matter at hand Naruto knows Benson is not going to give Mordecai and Rigby a plague because of their past track record. Although if you asked naruto and skips they would think they deserve some appreciation for trying to fix the mess they made. That their adventure actually brig a lot of people to the park to see if they can see the events when they happen.

But I the end it is up to Benson who gets a plague and who does not and to him they don't deserve them.

Naruto has a feeling that today and tomorrow is going to be a funny and hectic day that will have him talking to the cops again and he usually is not wrong when it comes to stuff like this.

Naruto then turns his attention back to Benson to see who gets the last two plagues on the table ad to see the reaction after it happen.

Benson then said "And last, but certainly not least, two guys who really pulled it together this year. Two guys that remind us not to jus work hard. But to work hard and having a good time can be one and the same. Two guys we couldn't do without. And these two guys are Mmmmmmmmmmmmuscle Man and Hi Five Ghost."

Muscle then jumped up with High Five Ghost ad ran down the stairs and took the last two plagues off the table and held them up in the air. Muscle man then said "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Yeah! Eat on that, Mordecai and Rigby!"

Muscle Man and High Five Ghost then jumped into a golf cart that was parked out front, started it up the started doing donuts.

Muscle Man then shouts "WOOOOOOO!"

Then he and High Five Ghost drive off to do their work for the day in a different part of the park. It was a few seconds before Mordecai and Rigby came down the stairs and were in front of Benson.

Mordecai then says "C'mon Benson, what about us?"

Benson the looks up at them for a second, the opens the book and takes a look. Benson then says "Mordecai and Rigby. Oh yeah, let's see, let's see. Clean up this mess." Benson then starts to walk away with Skips.

Mordecai and Rigby the run up to him and say "Wait Benson! What about our appreciation plagues?"

Benson replies "In order to get a plague, you have to do something that's appreciated. And according to the Book of Park Records, all you guys do is mess up as slack off."

A bit offended at what their boss said Mordecai replies "We do stuff for The Park all the time." Rigby the follows up with "Yeah, there has to be something good about us in that book!" Rigby then reaches for the book to see what is written about them in it but Benson pulls it away before he could reach it.

Benson then says "This book is a record of everything that has ever happened in The Park. It's been handed down from park manager to park manager since The Park's founding. It's a historical document so keep your dirty hands off of it!"

After that he then walked over to the second cart ad got in it. Then Mordecai Walked up and asked "Can you at least fund it a bit to make us look better?"

Benson then responded "No, I can only write the truth and the truth is I don't appreciate you two." He then started the cart and drove off to make sure the other was doing their jobs. Naruto who was silent through the whole conversation just stared were Benson once was.

Now don't get naruto wrong he knows Benson has to follow the rules but he could have done it in a way to give Mordecai and Rigby some hope of actually earning it.

But instead he decided to get their hopes up early only to give it to one of the people that annoy them the most then say he does not appreciate them at all kid of a dick move on his part.

Naruto then walked up to Mordecai ad Rigby and said "Don't let what Benson said get to you guys. I'm sure you both will be able to earn your appreciation plagues later on, but you will have slack off less and do as you are told even if you don't like it, but then again that is what having a job is sometimes about."

After he said his piece he went off to do the work he was assigned to do by Benson earlier before the ceremony. It just involved him doing some trimming on the far side of the park the place closes to the wood nothing major and time consuming.

Back with Mordecai and Rigby they are just standing there after naruto left thinking on what he said until Rigby said "Awwwwwww man, I can't believe this!"

Mordecai then says "Relax dude. We just need to do some work so he'll see that what awesome employees we are. I bet if he see us doing one job, he will totally appreciate us."

Rigby then says "Yeah! We'll make him appreciate us so hard; we'll be the ones handing out the plagues!

And so began Mordecai and Rigby's attempts to impress Benson in order to get an appreciation plague. Their first attempt was raking the fallen leaves in one part of the part to make it looked well kept and nice for the visitors. When they saw a cart coming along they thought it was Benson and started to work faster, but it just turned out to be Pops. After Pops left Mordecai punched Rigby over the head for saying that was Benson in the cart.

They then started to beat each other up; the fight caused them to fall on the leaves they were raking. As they were beating each other up Benson walks bay and see them; he then writes something in the Book of Records about them and walks away.

Their second attempt they were mowing the lawn as they are doing it Rigby who was sitting on top of the engine and not be bur surprisingly spotted Benson.

Mordecai then shifted the mower in to a faster speed but lost control soon after he did. Benson who was walking around inspecting the park, suddenly he heard a lawn mower engine from behind him and quickly turned around. He was thankful he did because if he didn't he would have been run over by the mower.

Benson then turned to see who was operating the mower and it was none other than Mordecai and Rigby. After they missed him they went for a little bit then crashed in to a tree. Benson then shakes his head ad writes something more about them in the Book of Records.

Mordecai ad Rigby's third attempt was to paint the side of the house that was fading away. But they put the ladders to far apart and when Rigby tried to dip his paint brush he tipped his right into Mordecai's and dropped the paint can.

Now that would not be much of a problem but the person under it when it fell might have a different opinion. Under the can fell was standing naruto talking with Benson who could not be seen because he was sitting in the cart.

Naruto just reported to Benson that the trimming was done on the edge of the park and asked if he needed something else done before he went on his lunch break. Benson was about to reply but then a paint can hit the top of the cart and tipped over and spilled on naruto making him a blue fox instead a dark orange one.

Benson then stepped out of the cart and both he and naruto looked up to see Mordecai and Rigby on the ladders with paint brushes in their hands. Benson then took out the book from the cart wrote something in it most likely about Mordecai and Rigby.

He then turned to naruto and said "Go and get cleaned up naruto then go on your lunch break." Benson ten walked away. Naruto then looked back at Mordecai and Rigby with a look that says "I will get you" the left to get cleaned up then off to his lunch.

We now cut to Mordecai and Rigby washing the cart they just spilled paint over. Mordecai the throws the sponge he had in his hand to the ground and says "Aww, this is hopeless! Benson is never gonna appreciate us! Anyone who reads that book will think we're complete slackers.

Rigby then had a idea ad says "What if we change it. We can rewrite so it looks like we are the employees of the century."

Mordecai then catches on to what Rigby is saying and exclaims "Dude! Let's go change that book!

They then run to the house and sneak into Benson's office to find the Book of Park Records is sitting on top in the center of Benson's desk. Rigby looks around and says "The coast is clear." Mordecai then walk over and pick up the book and says "The Book of Park Records" Mordecai thought for a second that the book moved in his hands.

Rigby then says "Dude, open it up!" Mordecai o the other hand is starting to have second thoughts and says "I don't know man. Maybe we shouldn't do this. What if we weren't meat to see what's inside?"

Rigby look at him like he just said he was going to give up on video games and only work for the rest of his life. Rigby then said "Pfft! If we were not supposed to see inside, they shouldn't have taught us how to read."

Rigby then takes the book from Mordecai opens it and starts looking for their names in the book. He then says "I found our names." Mordecai then reaches over and takes the book from Rigby while saying "Gimme that!"

"Hey" Shouted Rigby but not loud enough to be heard from the outside. "Mordecai and Rigby are lazy, good for nothing slackers?! Awww!" read Mordecai from the book. Rigby then nodded his head a little and said "its kind a true" even Rigby had to admit that they slacked off a lot.

Mordecai then starts to read more on what Benson wrote about them. "Their continued employment is one of life's great mysteries! Can't be taught, untrustworthy, useless, destruction of park property!" shouted Mordecai in an inside voice. Rigby the throws his hand I the air and says "Oh sure that one time!"

Mordecai continues to read what was in the book and was getting angrier with each sentence. "A general, waste of time, energy, and space!" Rigby then kicked the phone that was on the desk he was standing on over and said "Ugh anyone who reads this is gonna think we are complete tools."

Little did they know that they we're be eavesdropped on by naruto just coming out of the bathroom after a shower and with his change of clothes paint stained clothes in a bag. Naruto started listening around 'Gimme that' and heard what Benson wrote about Mordecai and Rigby.

Now Naruto knows Benson has to write the truth, but seriously he could have chosen a better way to describe them. But Benson was the boss and there was nothing he could do without the chance of being fired.

So he decided just to listen in on what they plan to do now. Mordecai then said "No they're not. Let's change this stupid book. Mordecai and Rigby are my favorite employees."

Rigby then caught on to what Mordecai meat and stared to write his own part in the book. "Let me try. Every morning Mordecai and Rigby make blueberry pancakes, do the dishes, and wash the floor."

Mordecai then wrote "I save all my hardest jobs for them." Rigby then wrote "They are always sweating from all the hard work they do."

It seems to naruto from the crack in the door that they were having fun with what they we're writing in the Book of Park Records. Naruto could not help but chuckle quietly at what he heard them write down, but then again Benson reads that book everyday so he will most likely change it back to what it once was.

Mordecai then laughed and wrote "They're the most reliable guys I ever met!" Rigby then wrote "I trust them with my own life" Mordecai then wrote "There was this blizzard, and Skips broke his leg, but it didn't matter because Mordecai ad Rigby took him to the Hospital, the emergency part of the hospital!"

Naruto bit back the urge to laugh at what he had just heard. But before he could listen more he heard footsteps coming. He figured it was Benson coming to get the book, good thing he had bigger than normal fox ears it makes his hearing that just under a rabbit.

So he quickly left and caught Benson coming up the stair they nodded to each other and went their own way. Benson went to get the book from his office where Mordecai and Rigby were altering it.

Naruto on the other hand decided it was time to start his lunch break and hopefully see if his test results were sent to his email yet. As he reached the park to see if any of the food trucks set up at the entrance. When he got there it was a burger truck today but there was a police care their as well.

Naruto was now confuse he was sure Muscle Man and High Five Ghost were suspended from taking the cart out after the first time the cops got involved. As he got closer he saw said police officer ordering a burger for lunch.

When he finally got to the entrance the police officer was a woman but that did not surprise him what did was that it was a Female Rabbit. Now naruto is by no means a speciesist but the Rabbit family in general tends to stay away from work that is considered life threatening.

After she got her order she went back to her cruiser and drove off to different part of the city 'she must be on patrol today' thought naruto. After that naruto enjoyed his lunch then went back to work. The rest of the day seem to fly by and it was pretty quiet than usual but then again not every day is going to be some world ending day. So quitting time came around and naruto left for home happy today was simple, well except the fact he had paint dumped on him.

As he walked closer to his apartment he noticed that the one next to his finally got a resident in it. So now naruto has neighbors but he will greet them later right now he is tired and wanted to sleep.

Next day

The next morning naruto work up and did his usual routine to get ready for work but for some strange reason he could not shake the feeling that something is wrong with today and something bad will happen as well.

So he took his usual walk to the park same as every day he has worked there. But when he got to the entrance he saw Benson talking to the Rabbit officer he saw yesterday at the burger truck. Naruto was hoping that no one was in trouble again, not because he had to talk to the cops not it was that Kitsune and rabbits did not get along.

As naruto got closer he heard Benson say "Sure I can get some ne to show you around the park so you can get familiar with the area." Benson then saw naruto and waved him over to him.

Naruto then walked up to Benson and got a look at the officer she was a yellow bunny a little shorter than naruto, but had long ears that went with her blond hair that reached to her mid back when down. She had her standard blue police uniform on with badge and everything else on the belt. She had a hour glass figure that was made for running and for flexibility.

They both stared at each other for a minute and then introduced themselves "Hello I'm Naruto Uzumaki it is nice to meet you." She then replied "To you as well my Name is Julie Velveteen I hope we can get along." They both shook hand the turned their attention to Benson.

Benson then said" Okay Naruto I want you to show Julie around the park so she can get a feel for it." Naruto then nodded and Benson went on his way. Naruto then tried to start a conversation with Julie "So are you new to town don't remember see you anywhere before?" Julie then answered "Yes just moved here actually." They then talked as they walked through the park, Naruto showing her around the park and making sure she knew what area's to avoid in said park when patrolling.

As they reached the center of the park naruto asked if she was hungry she said yes. They decided to head to the snack bar for lunch. On the way there they ran into Skips, Naruto introduced Julie to Skips and did the same with Skips.

As they were walking to the snack bar the weather suddenly changed from hot and sunny to a fricken blizzard in the middle of summer. As they tried to make their way through the blizzard something hit skips who was in front of Naruto and Julie.

It was Mordecai and Rigby driving the cart, they ran over and pick up Skips but once they did that his leg broke. Rigby then said "That's not good." Naruto gave him a look that said yeah thinks? They then helped skips in to the cart and took off to find Benson after Mordecai and Rigby explained how they wrote lies in the book.

They got to the house to see Benson coming out of the house with appreciation plagues for Mordecai ad Rigby. But they both ran past Benson to get to the book but before they could enter the house the snow suddenly came to life and formed a monster with ruby eyes and breathes fire. It reached into the house and took the Book of Park Records and stomped away with it.

After that Mordecai ad Rigby chased after the Monster to get the book back, they were successful but the monster still had the cover in its snowy hand. Until Skips launched the cart off a snow bank and hit the monsters arm destroying it. Rigby then caught the cover of the book and through it to Mordecai and put the book together.

Everything that was caused by the book was reversed and the damage was undone. Benson then stormed up to them and took the book back and said "I'll take that. I don't know what been going on here or why you jokers have my book. But clean up this mess starting now or you're both fired!"

Mordecai then replied "What mess?" Rigby then followed up with "We did all the jobs you told us to do." Benson then looked around and saw the jobs done and no mess. Not liking the fact he was wrong he left with Skips in the cart.

Rigby then said "What still no appreciation plagues?"Naruto who was stand off to the side with Julie Said to her "I hope you enjoyed the tour and if you have any questions feel free to find me again." He then left to do the other list of jobs Benson gave him that day and he hopes Mordecai and Rigby don't do any more dooms day stunts.
