The light from the window covers the walls and finally rests on me. I sit up and stretch. Mordecai's foot was dangling off the bed, his arm too. I move it out of the way and stand up in the middle of the room. Its so quiet, the only things I hear are the small snores of the RS gang. I tip toe out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. (She pretty much takes a shower everyday). I leave the bathroom about a few minutes later and headed downstairs feeling fresh and ready for the day. I stop at the doorway at the kitchen when I see Muscle Man and HFG sitting in the table. The small ghost see's me and taps Muscle Man's shoulder, alerting him that I was standing there. "Who are you?" Muscle Man says in his deep but scratchy voice. "She's the new coworker in the park." I hear Benson say as he passes by and out the front door. "Nice...you know who else is the new coworker in the park?" "Your mom?" I say. He seemed a little freaked out by my remark, I guess he wasn't expecting me to know the answer. "Y-yeah." He looks down shamefully. "What's your name?" The little ghost says. "Myra." Mordecai says behind me, I literally almost fainted. Where the heck did he come from? "Myra huh?" I nod. "Muscle Man, what are doing here anyway." Mordecai says to him as he walks in the kitchen to grab a bowl of cereal. "I thought I might drop by and take some of your food." "What about the food at your house?" "We had a wicked party and this guy named Alex pretty much took all of it." Why does that name sound so familiar? "Oh um, this is Muscle Man and High-Five-Ghost." The tall bluejay said while gesturing them to me. "We gotta go, your mom is waiting for us." Muscle Man says while smiling to Mordecai, "Shut up man." The green man high fives the ghost and leaves laughing. I could have sworn I felt ice cold when the ghost flew by. Creepy.
Mordecai sits in his usual spot on the table and starts to eat his cereal, I walk by and open the front door. "Where you going Myra?" I shrug, "Explore the park, maybe get used to it." "I can show you around if you want." "Alright." I close the door and wait beside the doorway. Rigby comes down the stairs groggily. "Morning Rigby." I tell him, he looks at me confused then smiles, "You know, I almost forgot you were with us." Mordecai makes a face at him and gets out of the chair. "Hey Mordecai where you going?" Rigby says to him. "Gonna show Myra around." He says back while opening the door for me. Rigby shrugs and sits in Mordecai's chair. "Hey dude I'm gonna eat your cereal." "That's disgusting." "What? I'm too tired to pour myself a bowl." "Whatever." Mordecai pats my back, I'm guessing that's a sign to step out. I do and raise my arms in the air, letting the suns heat cover me. "Man, this feels so good." "Yeah I know. Usually I would come out here and just let the sun hit me." "I would go out and run sometimes." "You like to run?" "Yerp, I LOVE to run, its just a rush. The pressure, the heat. Dude its...amazing." "Hmpf...well, how about this. Why don't we run to the destinations you wanna go." "Sounds great, but...why don't you lead me around. You know? I don't know the park really well." Yeah I do. "Okay, just follow me." "Alri..." Mordecai took off running, I giggle and run after him. I was behind him at first until we were neck in neck, Mordecai looked tired but I kept going, running and running, never wanting to stop. Until I bumped into something huge. I fell on my butt and looked at the person who made me fall.
Skips...oh crap... "H-hey Skips." Mordecai said really tired. "Who's the new girl." It didn't even sound like a question, more like a stern answer, he looks at me and gives me his hand, I accept it and before I knew it I flew up on my feet. God damn he's strong! I moved my fingers a bit to make sure I could still feel them. "This is Myra...Myra, Skips." I give the big yeti my other hand so he won't have to mess the other one up anymore. "Hmpf." He grunts and walks away. "Nice to have you here." He said. Okay. Not what I was expecting but alright. I walk over to Mordecai and laugh. "You need to work out." "I'm fit! Just...always eating a lot of stuff." "And yet you stay skinny no matter what." "Weird huh? Where do you wanna go now?" "I don't know, maybe we could run a little more?" "Nah, I'm really tired I might..." He takes off running again. "Oh no you don't!" I said while laughing. We ran around the park for a little while until I stopped at a small hill with an apple tree. I walk over to it and sit underneath it. Chirps were heard above me, I look up and see the gray little bird sitting on a branch eating some of the apple that I threw away yesterday. I sit there, enjoying the view of the new blue sky of approaching the actual beginning of morning. I hear russeling beside me, Mordecai sits next to me and chuckles. "It's really fun having you around, just wait until you start working, it gets soooooo boring." "Heh, I think I can handle it." Rattling was heard behind us, I see Benson standing there smirking. "Alright you two, it's time to work. Mordecai you go clean the bathroom with Rigby and Myra you can join them or do the laundry, its your decision." He walks off, we both stand up and walk to the house, once inside we go our separate ways. I head to the laundry room while Mordecai goes to the bathroom to help Rigby.
I stuff the clothes nobody wears in the first place except Pops and myself into the washer. I sit on the washer and wait...and wait...and wait. Mordecai was right, this is boring. The vibrations from the washing machine was so calming but I snapped out of it before I could fall asleep. I go into the bedroom and grab my notebook and pencil and went back to the laundry room. I sat back up on the washer and started to doodle. This one had me in it...surprisingly. I never draw pictures with me in it, but this is a first. It had me kneeling down in a bush of roses, I'm clipping some out with Mordecai in the background playing football with Rigby, but Rigby misses and the ball flies over his head and into Benson's face. I laugh and flip to another page. The washer stops, I set my stuff down and put the clothes in the dryer and hop onto the washer again. Halfway on my doodle of Rigby wearing a whole bunch of jewelry I look over the notebook and see Rigby standing there. "Hey, Rigby." "Hey." He walks in and sits on the dryer. "Whatcha drawing?" "You." "Really? Let me see." I give him the notebook. "Ah sweet! I'm a pimp." You could say that. "You're a really good drawer you know." "Thanks...where's Mordecai?" "Downstairs." "Doing what?" He shrugs. "Probably thinking about going to the coffee shop." Oh god no, not to be mean but I flipping hate Margaret, she reminds me of Breanna so much! And she is a total bitch to Mordecai, suckish but true. I couldn't tell Mordecai that, he would never understand, but Rigby...I can tell him. "Hey Rigby." "Yeah?" "Do you like going to the coffee shop?" "Not really." "Why is that?" "Well...there's this girl Mordecai likes but to tell the truth...I think she is a bitch." "Me too." "You know her?" "I saw her a couple times before I came here." "Oh, but she is always tormenting Mordecai, he's my best friend and I can't have him moping around. Everytime he tries to ask her out she brings out this guy we have never even seen before and Mordecai ends up heart broken." "That sucks." "Yeah it does...you know...since you started talking to Mordecai through mail, he never left that room until yesterday." "Why?" "He was excited that maybe..." He cuts off his words and rubs his neck. "What." "Well...its complicated." "RIGBY! LETS GO!" I hear Mordecai shout from downstairs. "OK! You wanna come?" "That's alright, maybe next time." He shrugs and leaves, I laugh a little when I hear their yelling conversation go on.
It was the afternoon and they still haven't come back yet. Wonder what Rigby meant by "maybe" ...and why did that name sound so familiar a little while ago? I thought to myself while laying on the couch, having my head rest on the arm of the couch to give me an upright position to lay down and draw at the same time. I tapped the edge of my pencil on my chin and sat all the way up. Eh, I'm bored I'm gonna go shopping. I go upstairs and grab my money and head back down. Right when I was gonna open the door it opens by itself. Mordecai and Rigby come inside and look at me confused. "Where you going?" Jeez is that a regular thing around here? "Where you going?" man. "I'm gonna go shopping, wanna tag along?" Rigby shakes his head no and goes upstairs. "I will." Mordecai says. "Alright lets go." I walk out and onto the road. "You wanna take the golf cart Myra?" He tells me while closing the door. I shrug. "It's faster." He said while smiling at me, I blush and roll my eyes and hop in the cart. Mordecai turns the key. It doesn't turn on. He turns it again. It still doesn't turn on. "Come on...it was working earlier." He tries one more time. Not on. He leans in the chair and groans. I lean over him and turn the key, "Try this." I told him, I keep the key twisted until the engine starts. I sit back but stay looking at him, he blushes at me and puts the cart in reverse. We were on the road, passing a couple stores, movie shops, and restaurants. I just realized its really embarrassing to be driving in a golf cart around town, not like in a normal car.
Mordecai parks the cart in the lot for the mall, "What were you planning on buying?" He asked me, I unbuckle myself and walk around to his side of the cart. "I don't know...just some things I guess." "Cool." He steps out and we start walking again. I just noticed I was really tall. Seeing him 6 feet at least, I was up to his neck. Weird but worth a lot of sense. In the mall we pass by an arcade and a Subway. I'm gonna have to come here later. I stop walking, Mordecai notices and stops too. "What's wrong?" "I don't know..." What the heck? In the window of a small shoe store I see a man with blonde hair and green eyes. He was just standing there...looking at me. "I think we better keep walking." "Why? What's wrong?" "N-nothing just keep going." I said, I was literally pushing Mordecai forward since he refused to move, after a while of pushing he decided to start walking. What the hell? Maybe I'm just seeing things...or am I? That guy looked like...no...NO...it can't...gah! Never mind. Just forget about it. We were passing by the arcade again until Mordecai grabs my wrist and stops me. "Come on!" A fat man with a bushy beard yelled across the room. He was shaking one of the arcade games violently. My stomach was twisting again, having Mordecai touching me and also the fact that there could be trouble in the arcade. The man tips the game over and comes up to the register, "I want my money back!" "I-I'm sorry sir but I can't do..." The man yells like an ape and grabs the man. I know its not womanly to do this but it's worth a shot, I walk inside the arcade, dragging Mordecai with me.
I could feel Mordecai tugging me back but I kept going, it's the instinct again...its taking over like it did before I came here. I'm standing next to the man now, Mordecai's shaking but he doesn't let me go. "HEY!" I yell at the man. He looks at me and yells back, "WHAT!" "You put that man down NOW!" "Make me." He says through gritted teeth. I slap him. He blanks his face and puts the man back down. He comes close to me, Mordecai backs up a little, probably making a plan to run and drag me behind him. We stare at each other for awhile until the man's lips quiver and he starts to cry. "You meany. I'm gonna tell my mom on you!" The fat man leaves the arcade and the guy at the register taps on my shoulder, "Thank you ma'am. Consider yourself a free gamer, you can get any 5 games from here..." He said while pointing to the glass beneath him that has a few games for the kind of system Mordecai and Rigby have at the house, "...for FREE!" "Thanks, and your welcome. Alright Mordecai, you wanna pick a couple games?" Mordecai was speechless, I giggle and shake him a bit. "Mordecai?" He shakes his head and looks at me. "What?" "Pick at least 2 games Rigby will like and 2 for you." "And you?" "Hey...one's plenty." "Okay." He said blushing.
We walk out of the arcade with bags in our hands and smiles on our faces. I could feel my stomach growling. "Man, I'm starving." "Me too." Mordecai said while grabbing his stomach. "Wanna eat a Subway?" "Um...sure why not?" We stand in line for while, Mordecai asks me what I want. I tell him and he tells me, "Why don't you go wait at one of the tables. I'll bring the orders." "Okay but um..." I look down on my hand to which he's still holding. "Oh, sorry." He lets me go and starts to blush. I blush too and walk to a small table fit for two. While I wait I look around, its so cool being in another universe with so many people that don't know me, I can start over...but in an older state. I barely notice Mordecai when he puts a tray on the table and sits in front of me. "Dig in." He says. I grab my sandwich and un-rap it. Mordecai was already chowing down his sandwich, it looked as if he needed to take 3 more bites and he's done, but me...I take my time and savor every bite.
With our stomachs full and nothing else to do I take Mordecai around the mall again, I make him speed walk when we pass the shoe store, making sure that guy wasn't there...but just to be safe. I look up at the giant glass window above us, it was sunset already? Man time when fast. Before we could leave I stopped at a nearby store. "Wait here." I tell Mordecai. "Alright." He tells me back. It was a jewelry store, I look at a couple things until I stop at one that looked so sweet. It was a heart necklace but it was parted, it said "Best Friends" in cursive when you put them together. One side was blue, the other was red. It was perfect. I also get a yellow ring that says buddies for Rigby. I give the man the money and go out of the store, Mordecai wasn't anywhere. I step a little more out until Mordecai jumps out of nowhere and grabs my shoulders, almost giving me a heart attack. "Gotcha!" He said. "Whew, you almost gave me a heart attack." I stuff the necklace in my back pocket so he won't see it yet. "Sorry, what did you get?" "Nothing." He picks up an eyebrow. "I'll show you later." We walk out of the mall and sit in the golf cart. "Seriously though, that was pretty cool of you to do that." "Yeah, it was just instinct." "Instinct?" "Yeah, it runs in my family." "Cool...where do you wanna go now?" "Hmm..." He starts to drive out of the lot and to a special place before I could tell him anything.
Its kinda short, I don't think it makes that much sense though but its what you guys think...where's Mordecai taking Myra? That's for me to know, and you to find out. Review!
