Author's Note: Hey guys here's the next chapter. It's not really action-packed, but yeah. It takes place about 4 months from the previous chapter. Also, this chapter does kind of stress the "T" rating so watch out. Shout out to BrunoMarslover21! She just started a new story called "New Neighbor."

The past few months have been great. Rigby moved in with Eileen. Benson and Audrey are expecting a baby in about six months. Starla said yes to Muscle Man's marriage proposal. And things have been going great between Mordecai and Margaret. Benson even gave Mordecai a raise for reasons that Mordecai would not tell him about.

Mordecai opened his eyes. He was extraordinarily excited about today. He looked to his side to see Margaret sleeping. Just like every morning. He got up and grabbed something in his drawer. He went to the kitchen and ate breakfast. He took a shower, brushed his teeth and all that. After he was done he was done, he realized Margaret was still sleeping. He walked over to the bed and gently shook her shoulder. She groaned as she rubbed her face.

"Good morning sleepy," Mordecai ran his fingers through her hair.

"Hi. Why do you always get up so early?"

"I just do. Now get dressed. I'm taking you to the lake today." Mordecai left to watch TV. A little later, Margaret walked out with her usual yellow top and jeans. The two walked to the park and to the lake, which still looked awesome even though it was daytime.

"So why do you come here all the time?" Margaret asked.

"I come here a lot."

"Do do what?"

"To think..."

"About what?"

"'I'm doing things, Lori, things.'" Mordecai quoted. They both laughed.

"But seriously, what do you think about here?"

Mordecai swallowed, "Uh, a-actually, mostly about you." He rubbed the back of his neck. Margaret raised an eyebrow. "I mean, obviously a lot less since we've started dating, but I go here when I need some peace and quiet or when I need to think." Margaret walked over to the water and dipped her foot in. "Did you hear what I just said?"

"Yes, and I think that's nice. The water's also nice." Margaret took off her shirt wearing a yellow bikini top under it. This caught Mordecai off guard.

"What are you doing?" Mordecai asked.

"You said we were going to the lake and I felt like swimming." She unbuttoned her jeans and worked on those as Mordecai dipped his foot in the water. It was surprisingly nice. As he was testing the water, he was suddenly pushed in. He poked his head back up to see Margaret already in the water, laughing hysterically.

"What was that for?" He laughed.

"Because." They kept swimming. They both loved to swim. That fact that you can float and move freely made them feel relaxed. Margaret dove underwater. Mordecai felt something touch his foot. All of a sudden, he was pulled under the water. He panicked a little. He kept turning until he saw Margaret laughing at him. They pulled into a kiss underwater. They broke the kiss when they surfaced and laughed hysterically. They got out of the lake and sat on a bench. They held each other to keep warm. Margaret's bikini top seemed to be a bit old or a size to small and Mordecai took notice. Margaret noticed and laughed.

"Calm down," she said, "We're in public." Mordecai laughed and blushed. He grabbed the thing he had gotten out of the drawer at her apartment and got off the bench. He kneeled on one knee and spoke.

"Uh, M-Margaret, I r-really love you and I-I think we sh-should be together for a long time." Mordecai opened the little box with a ring in it. "I didn't really have enough money for a bigger ring, but... Will you marry me?" Margaret was speechless. She held the same shocked face for a while. Mordecai's smiled faded after each second passed. "M-Margaret?" Margaret stood up.

"I-I..." She ran away with her hands on her face. Mordecai stayed where he was. He was still looking at the spot where she was sitting. One single lone tear went down his cheek. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around but before he could see who it was something came over his head.

He woke up in what seemed to be his room at the park. He was tied to his old bed by the sheets.

What the hell? He thought. He looked over to see two hooded people by Rigby's trampoline.

"Who are you?" Mordecai asked. The hooded guys looked at him, their faces still not visible.

"He's awake." One said in a deep raspy voice.

"Who are you?" Mordecai repeated. The two hooded people approached Mordecai. Mordecai began to struggle, but they started to take their hoods off to reveal... Benson with a microphone, and Skips. "What the hell!?" Mordecai yelled out loud. Benson looked at Skips then laughed. "Why are you laughing?"

"Because we scared you." Benson stated.

"Why?"

"Well, we needed to talk to you but we knew you wouldn't do it if you knew it was us."

"How come you couldn't have just called me into your office?"

"Well, I saw what happened between you and Margaret." Benson said.

"You were watching me?!"

"Only because I saw you two swimming in the lake and you're not allowed to. I walked over there, but then I saw you get down on your knee. I'm not really the best guy to talk to, but that's why I brought Skips." Mordecai was at a loss for words.

"Mordecai," Skips said, "Margaret is just a little shocked and scared. If you give her some space for a while, maybe like, a week, everything will settle down." Mordecai let that sink in. He knew that wasn't going to be easy. Benson and Skips untied him. Mordecai walked out of the room and to the bench by the lake to do what else, but think. Mordecai thought at his thinking spot for a long time. He realized that the sun was about to set. Wait, that means-

"Mordecai! Mordecai!"

Oh no.

"Mordecai!" Rigby ran up to his bench, "Dude, are you alright? Benson told me everything. What are you gonna do?"

"Go. Away!" Mordecai buried his face in his hands.

"No dude! C'mon! Talk to me."

"No dude! Go away!"

"Mordecai! Seriously dude!" Mordecai was too upset to argue, so he let Rigby have this one. "Fine dude, what do you want?"

"Tell me what happened."

"Ugh, well, Margaret and I went to the lake and went swimming. Afterwards I proposed and she ran away."

"Did she say no?"

"No, but she didn't say anything at all."

"Mordecai, that still doesn't mean no."

"YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT!? I JUST... I JUST NEED SOME TIME... TO THINK! SO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Mordecai shouted, breathing heavily and grabbing his hair. Rigby looked at him. He left with a glare.

"Dick," the raccoon mumbled. Mordecai fell on the bench a let out a long sigh. He decided to sleep at the house for a while. At least until everything calmed down. Mordecai walked to the house and slumped down on his bed. Benson heard this from his office.

Crap, Benson thought, he's going to play that stupid song for a week again.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Mordecai opened his eyes. He was still sleeping at his old room at the house. He hasn't heard from Margaret ever since what happened at the lake. He got up slowly, finding less of a reason to get up every day. His friend didn't want to talk to him. The love of his life didn't want to marry or talk to him. Plus, Benson and Rigby have seemed to have told everyone in town about what happened, so he couldn't go outside without getting sympathetic pats on the back or "How ya holding up, bro's." He walked to the bathroom. Even though he didn't have anyone to freshen up for, he had made brushing his teeth a habit ever since the bad breath incident. He walked downstairs and grabbed breakfast. He was getting tired of being depressed. It seemed every time he got depressed in the past few years was because of Margaret. He considered that Margaret wasn't right for him at one point, but knew that was stupid. He still loved her, her laugh, her ability to cheer him up when he was down about something other than her. He was getting tired of being sad. Something had to change today. He was even thinking about going to the coffee shop. He hadn't been there in so long. He was going to talk to Margaret. If she didn't want to get married at the moment that was fine by him... sort of, but their relationship had moved incredibly fast. They slept in the same house after their first date as a couple. They slept in the same bed after a month. They moved in with each other after six months, so it did kind of make sense when Margaret freaked out. It still hurt though. He thought all of this when he was walking to the coffee shop and before he knew it he was already there. He walked down the stairs and saw Eileen taking someone's order. He sat down on his stool and tapped his fingers until Eileen showed up.

"Hey Mordecai, do ya want anything?"

"I'll just take the usual. Hey, do you know if Margaret's here?"

"Sorry she's hasn't been here for a while. Also um, Rigby told me what happened, are you OK?"

"Of course he did. Yeah, I'm okay I just need to talk to Margaret." Mordecai finished his coffee and left the coffee shop. He walked to Margaret's place, still feeling quite upset. He saw the apartment complex and sighed. He walked up the stairs and knocked. Margaret opened the door, and her beak parted. She slapped Mordecai in the face and hugged him before he could recover. She started to cry in his shoulder. He finally spoke up.

"Margaret, I understand if you don't if you don't want to get married. We have only been dating for a year." Margaret kept crying. "If you just want to stay boyfriend and girlfriend that's fi-"

"No! No. I-I do. Please." Mordecai blinked.

"W-what? Really?"

"Y-yes. I'm sorry, I was just freaking out. I've never had a relationship longer than a few weeks so marriage was kind of the last thing on my list, heh," She sniffed.

"Margaret, why are you apologizing? I'm the one who proposed too early."

"You didn't propose too early. I was just caught off guard." Mordecai was still standing there. If Margaret wasn't holding him, he would've fallen on the ground. Margaret snapped her fingers in his face to get him out of his trance.

He shook his head, "Oh, sorry, I'm just really... happy." He hugged her tightly, she hugged back. He kissed her on the forehead and kept hugging her. They pulled away and laughed as they looked at each other.

"We're... we're getting married." Margaret smiled.

"Yeah, but I don't think your dad is going to be to happy because I kind of spent all my money on that ring, so he's going to have to pay for most of it."

Margaret laughed, "That's fine."

"But your dad kind of scares me."

Margaret laughed and hugged him, "C'mon," She led him inside, "I missed you."
