Author's Note: Okay, sorry for the long-ish update. I was working on a one-shot. Anyways, to Halofan197: Thanks! That review meant a lot to me! I'm glad you like it. And Shout to BrunoMarslover21 as always! So here's the chapter.

My friend Layne: I helped with this one!

"You may now kiss the bride," Muscle Man smashed his face against Starla's as the crowd cringed in disgust.

"Margaret, cover your eyes," Mordecai put his hand in front of her face. Mordecai looked over and saw Rigby sticking his tongue out. He saw Mordecai staring at him, glared, and turned away. Mordecai frowned.

Later that day, Mordecai walked up to Rigby, who was eating cake.

"Hey dude,"

"What do you want?" Rigby asked with cake still in his mouth.

"Look, I'm sorry about the other week. I was just upset and I wanted to be alone."

"Apparently you got what you wanted with her saying 'no.'"

"She said yes yesterday, Rigby." Rigby's face lightened up a little.

"Well, that's good, but you didn't have to flip out like that."

"I know dude, and I'm sorry." Mordecai held out his fist.

"Apology accepted," Rigby and Mordecai bumped fists and laughed.

"Now come on dude, Margaret and Eileen are going shopping. Wanna play video games?"

"Aww yeayuh!" The two bros ran in the big house. Rigby turned on the system that was still there as Mordecai baked some "special brownies." The two friends hung out just like old times.

A while later, their girlfriend/fiancee picked them up, neither of the guys being able to drive.

"Seriously?" Margaret asked in the car.

"Hey, it's been a while hehe." Mordecai raised his hands in defense, eyes half open.

"Just be glad that you have someone to drive you."

"Well, heh, you were going to pick me up anyways."

Margaret laughed, "Whatever."

"Don't 'whatever' me. I'm your, your... what's it called?" He burped.

"Are you drunk, or high?"

"We had sodas too."

"Y'know Mordecai, how long do you think Benson will take to figure out that your 'sodas' don't have soda in them."

"Never. Stop worrying. Why do you worry so much. Why does anyone worry when there's brownies?"

"I just don't want you to get fired," She laughed, "It's fun to talk to you when you're high."

"And drunk!" Margaret laughed again as she pulled up the the apartment complex.

"You're going to be such a pain in the morning."

Mordecai opened his eyes. Immediately feeling his head throb. Aww crap he thought. He rubbed his head as he saw Margaret sit up. She jumped a little.

"You got high and drunk last night and you still wake up before me?"

"Shhhh!" Mordecai covered his face and ears, "too loud."

Margaret giggled, "Whatever. It's a good thing you have the day off today."

Mordecai's eyes widened, "Oh shit."

"What?"

"I don't have the day off today!"

"I thought you did!"

"No, Muscle Man has the day off." Mordecai jumped out of bed and ran into the shower. He got out and grabbed a coffee and a pop-tart for breakfast. He looked at the clock. "Crap, I gotta go!" He ran out the door and jumped into the car. He floored the pedal and sped off towards the park. Mordecai slammed on the breaks and ran towards the steps to see the crew already there, even Rigby.

"Where have you been?" Benson clenched his teeth.

"Heh, sorry Benson."

"Be quiet. Now I already given out jobs so you and Rigby better get going on that fountain."

"Ugh!" The two groaned in unison.

"Hey, you guys better get your attitude together cause you're already late!" Benson stormed off.

"Man, I hate cleaning the fountain." Rigby kicked a rock.

"How did you get here before me? You drank more."

"Eileen woke me up."

"Lucky." They walked to the fountain as quietly as possible, still needing some quiet for their headaches. After working on the fountain for a few hours, they decided to take a break.

"Dude," Mordecai rubbed his head, "do you want to take a nap in the house?"

"Sure." They walked into the house, and up the stairs, into their old beds.

Mordecai woke up to something poking him. He didn't open his eyes and tried to swat it away with his hand.

"Hey, wake up!" Mordecai opened his eyes to see Benson with his arm crossed.

"Oh, uh h-hey Benson."

"What are you doing?"

"We took a break."

"For two hours!?"

"Rigby and I needed a nap."

Benson chuckled, "You two never take naps."

"Well, we kind of had too much... fun last night."

"You guys should've thought about that since you had work the next day. Now get back to the fountain!"

"Fine." Mordecai got up and picked Rigby up, to lazy to wake him up. Mordecai got back to the fountain and dropped Rigby in the grass.

"EHH! What? Why am I outside?"

"Benson yelled at us."

"Ugh! Did you tell him we were sleeping?" Rigby threw his arms up.

"C'mon dude, let's just finish this." The two friends cleaned up the fountain reluctantly. Afterwards, they were both out of breath.

"Man, how can we be out of breath?" Rigby panted.

"Well, I did most of the work, you're just out of shape," Mordecai chuckled.

"SHUT UP!"

Mordecai laughed, "Whatever, let's just get our pay for the day."

They both got their day's pay and went home. Mordecai walked in the door to see no one home. He sat on the couch and watched TV. Later, Margaret finally walked threw the door.

"Where have you been?" Mordecai asked.

"Uh, I j-just took the long shift at work." She walked into the other room.

"Oookayyy." Mordecai kept watching TV. After Margaret went to bed, Mordecai started to think. What was that about? She never works late. She hates working there, and I don't think she's low on cash. Hmm. Maybe she is tight on cash. I could always lend her cash. I'm still getting the bigger pay from Benson. Yeah, I'll do that. Mordecai went to bed.

The next morning, Mordecai made sure that he actually had the day off today. After that, he ate breakfast and watched TV. A while later, Margaret came out and ate breakfast. She got dressed and was about to walk out until Mordecai stopped her.

"Where you going?"

"To work. See you." She walked out the door. Mordecai knitted his eyebrows.

Doesn't she usually have the day off today?

Once again, Mordecai was watching TV when Margaret got home.

"Hey Margaret."

"Hi Mordecai."

"Margaret, I want you to have this." Mordecai got out a fairly large wad of cash, and placed it in Margaret's hand.

"What's this for?"

"Well since you've been working more I thought you were tight cash so..." He gestured to the money.

Margaret laughed, "I'm not tight on cash. I'm just se-... nothing." She walked out of the room. Mordecai raised an eyebrow, and got out his phone.

Mordecai: Dude somethings weird is going on

Rigby: What

Mordecai: Margaret's been working late, and she's not tight on cash

Rigby: Maybe she got promoted

Mordecai: No she hates working there

Rigby: Idk, just ignore it, its fine. I have 2 go

Mordecai sighed. What is up with everyone? He brushed it off, being to tired to think about it.

He woke up the next morning, but something was... different. He looked to his side to see nothing there. What? He sat up. Something smelled really good. He got up and walked to where the smell came from. He gasped at what he saw. Glorious food was perfectly placed in the kitchen. Waffles, pancakes, eggs (without mayo), milk, and pretty much everything else. Margaret was in the kitchen, cooking something.

"Happy birthday!" She smiled. Mordecai was standing there with his jaw on the floor. Margaret giggled.

"Wha-what?" Mordecai blinked.

"I know! I got up before you!" Margaret gasped statistically.

Mordecai chuckled, "No, it's just wow... you didn't have to do this for me!"

"C'mon! Of course I did! It's your birthday!"

"This!... is why I love you."

"Haha, now hurry up and eat, we have to go soon." Mordecai laughed again and ate his food. Everything was absolutely delicious... except for the pie. After Mordecai stuffed himself with the breakfast, Margaret told him to get in the car. They drove to the park and behind the big house. Mordecai was astonished by what he saw. All of his friends were all around a bunch of tables and balloons and other birthday material. Even the baby ducks were there.

"Mordecai! Mordecai!" Rigby ran up to him on all fours, "Happy birthday dude!"

"What! All of this, just because 24 years and nine months ago my parents did it?"

Rigby burst out laughing, "Dude, that's hilarious! HA HA! But seriously though, this is for you man."

Mordecai was speechless. He's never had a big fuss about his birthday, so this was actually a big surprise. He then saw Keelan run up to him.

"Hey, man, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Uh yeah sure." Mordecai walked with Keelan a little aways from everyone else.

"I kind of need a place to crash, so can I live with you guys for a little?"

"Uhh, why?"

"I um, kind of cussed out my landlord and he kicked me out." Keelan rubbed the back of his neck.

"Wow... that's brave."

"Heh, so is it cool if I crash at your apartment for a while? Just until I can find a new place."

"Uh, well, I would have ask Margaret about it, but otherwise yeah."

"Aw, thanks so much! Well, I have to finish putting my stuff in boxes, so I can't stay for the party. Happy birthday!" Keelan ran off waving. Mordecai walked up to Margaret.

"Hey uh Margaret? Can Keelan stay with us for a while?"

"What? Why?"

"His landlord kicked him out so he needs a place to crash."

"Okay I guess that's fine, he might have to take the couch though."

"That's fine-"

"Hey Mordecai! Get over here!"

After the party filled with games, chocolate cake, and grilled cheese, it was time to go home before anyone got drunk since it wasn't that kind of party. When Margaret and Mordecai got to the apartment, Keelan was already parked outside, playing with his phone.

"Uh hey Keelan, how long have you been here?"

"Oh hey guys! I've been here for like... an hour, but I'm fine 'cause I have a phone." He raised his phone."

"Uh, so let's get you unpacked then, heh." They lifted the boxes into the apartment. There wasn't much to carry since Keelan's old place was small. When Mordecai was carrying the last box, he looked up at the sky.

"Crap."

"What?" Margaret asked.

"It's gonna rain tonight."

"Oh, well, let's hope it doesn't storm."

After they unpacked the last box, Mordecai gave Keelan the tour.

"Okay, so there's the kitchen," They took one step, "There's the bathroom, closet, and Margaret and I's bedroom. I can't think of a reason for you to go in there heh, and that's it."

"OK, cool cool," Keelan yawned, "Well, I'm gonna get some sleep. Goodnight."

"Night."

Another flash outside and booming thunder shook the windows. Mordecai gritted his teeth and held Margaret tightly. Margaret sighed.

"Mordecai, I'm sorry there was a storm on your birthday."

"D-Don't be sorry. It's n-not your fault." Thunder shook the house again, and Mordecai shivered and squeezed Margaret again.

"Hey, maybe," She kissed him, "I can get your mind off the thunder." Mordecai noticed what she was hinting at and smiled.

"That is a great idea." He kissed her back.

Keelan was a light sleeper, so the thunder kept him awake. In between claps, he heard a creak. He knitted his eyebrows. After another clap of thunder, he listened more closely. He then heard something that made his eyes widen.

Maybe I shouldn't have moved in the night of his birthday.

Author's Note: LOL Keelan heard them. Anyway sorry if this chapter seemed boring. I'll try to make the next one less-boring.

Toledo out-

(Pray for Boston)
