Eileen's Date
"Alright, have fun gals!" Benson left the girls in the Park house so they could bond.
Audrey and Margaret sat on the couch while Eileen and CJ got snacks from the kitchen. Starla sat on the floor with Alex.
"Oh, he's so cute. I hope my kid is that cute!" Audrey smiled.
"Well, he has some yeti. So, you might end up having a gumball machine." Margaret said.
"Who wants some snacks?" CJ sat the food down on the table.
The girls talked and seemed to get along well. CJ and Margaret kept their distance, and eventually started making jokes with each other. It seemed like Audrey is going be a great addition to the Park family.
"So, who wants to help me plan the wedding?" The girls squealed and agreed to help her.
Meanwhile, wherever the boys went...
"Alright, guys. We all have off tomorrow so let's get crazy!" Benson yelled as they drove off in Skips's van.
They drove to Wing Kingdom and each ate twenty baskets of wings. Muscle Man took off his shirt and waved it in the air. "WOOOOO!"
Mordecai and Rigby laughed and joined him, only they just waved their arms and yelled, "OOHHHH!"
Their behavior led them to be kicked out for the night. So, they went to Cheezers. Pops and Thomas were the designated drivers since the others got insanely wasted. Even Skips and Quips were feeling pretty good. Nobody worried about anything. Audrey texted Benson and said they went to Eileen's house to spend the night. When the house became free, then went back to the Park. Laying down in the grass, they got into some deep conversations.
"Duuuude.. Why do you hate us, Benson?" Rigby asked.
"Nah, man. You gots it all wrong. I'm just tryin' tah make you guys better people for the outside world. I hope you guys will get better jobs someday. You dun't wanna be working at a lame Park the rest of your lives." Benson burped.
"I like it here, man. Park is a beautiful place at night..." Muscle Man yawned.
They ended up sleeping in the yard that night.
"Benson!" Audrey shook her soon-to-be husband.
"Huh? Where am I? Owwww, my head.." Benson sat up groggily.
"You're at the Park sweetie. Are you okay? Need anything?"
"Let's just go home.."
The others started waking up.
"Oh my god, we left Alex at the restaurant!" Quips started freaking out.
"Nah, man. He's at Eileen's with the other," Rigby paused to burp. "Chicks."
After they all had gotten up, the rest of the day went by lazily. Mordecai and Rigby laid on the couch and watched movies with Muscle Man and HFG. Pops was out in the Park somewhere, while Thomas and Benson went to their houses. Skips and Quips talked in their house. The girls went to work while CJ went to bring Alex back to the Park.
"Need any help with his stuff?" Eileen asked, walking out from her bedroom.
"Maybe you could ride with, since you work the afternoon shift." CJ put the car seat in.
"I will. I'm glad you and Margaret are becoming friends. It's really nice to not have that tension anymore."
"Me too. I'm willing to try to be a better person. Even if it means letting Mordecai go." The cloud sighed and secured Alex in the car. "Ready?"
The mole nodded and they drove over to the Park.
"You need me to do the taxes again? Sure, I can squeeze that into my schedule. Alright, Benson. I'll be over in about an hour." The raccoon sat the phone down and went to the bedroom to pack some things. It'll be nice to see everyone again. I heard they hired some new people since I was last there. Maybe I could treat them all out to dinner.
The drive over was very boring considering Don listened to just piano music. He reached Twin Peaks in about forty five minutes, leading him to grab something to eat first. He parked at the Coffee Shop and walked in. Man, this place is pretty quiet. I wonder if they're even open...
He opened the door and was greeted by a small mole. "Welcome to the Coffee Shop! What can I get for you?"
"I'll have a black coffee and.." Don peered at the menu, "and a sandwich. Number 4."
"I'll have that right out for you."
He sat down at a booth and looked around. Cozy place. I'm surprised this place only has one other customer. Wait, is she the only one working?
Eileen came back with his order. "Anything else?"
"I'll let you know." He winked, causing her cheeks to flush. She walked over to the counter to grab the cleaning supplies to wipe down tables.
"Thank you for coming." She smiled at the customer leaving. Well, once he gets out of here I can close up.
"Excuse me, miss?"
Eileen walked back over to him. "How may I help you?"
Despite already knowing, he asked, "How do I get to Mallaerd Park from here?"
"Well, if you leave on the road with Cheezers you should make a right at the traffic light. Then go straight until you see Marble Avenue. Turn there then you should see the sign there. I hope you don't plan on going tonight, they're closed."
"Actually, I was. Perhaps you'd like to keep me company for the night?"
Eileen stood there, shocked. Is he hitting on me? But, you love Rigby. It's not like he's going to make a move on me anytime soon... "I'd love to. I will have to go home and change, though."
He handed her a piece of paper with his number before standing up. "Text me your address. I'll pick you up at six." He smiled and left.
Back at the Park..
"Benson, why are you here? You have the day off."
"I know Skips. I called Don to see if he could do our taxes. He should be here soon."
"Is he doing them tonight?"
"No, I said he could stay here the night and do them tomorrow. Look, there he is."
Don got out of his car and knocked on the door. Mordecai answered it and gave Don a hug.
"Hey, Mordo! Been a while."
"Yeah man. What brings you by?"
"I'm doing the taxes again. Benson said I could crash here for the night and do them tomorrow.'
They could hear a familiar groan from the living room. "What? Don's here?" Another groan. "Why is he here?!"
Benson came down the stairs. "You be nice to your brother! He's doing our taxes tomorrow and I thought it would be nice to catch up with him."
"Well, I have a date tonight. So maybe tomorrow we can."
"He's only been here for like two minutes and he has a date?!" Rigby was furious.
Later that night...
Eileen looked at herself in the mirror. She wasn't sure on what to wear, so she decided to go casually fancy. She pulled her hair into a bun. She was wearing a black tank top with blue jeans. I hope this is appropriate for tonight... She put on some lipstick and mascara. There. Presentable but not screaming whore.
Hearing a knock at the door, she went to make sure it was Don. She opened it and he smiled at her. She examined him. He was wearing jeans with a navy blue t-shirt. Strange, he wasn't wearing anything earlier..
"Ready to go?"
"You bet."
They drove to a restaurant to eat. It wasn't too fancy, which was good for their attire.
"So, I never did get your name."
"Oh, it's Eileen. Sorry about that.."
"Don't fret. I'm Don."
That's when it hit her. This was Rigby's brother. She heard about him when Rigby needed help with that Bank Shot game. The mole considered her options. Continue this date and see how well it goes, or go home and never be loved by the one she loves. She went with the more logical option.
"So, Don. What do you do?" Of course, she knew the answer.
He grinned. "I'm an accountant."
"Oh, nice. Did you dream of being anything else?" Well, he is an honest man.
"Not really. I know it may seem boring but I enjoy it. I highly doubt you wanted to work at a coffee place."
"I want to be a performer. I love the piano and I think I play it well. At least I did, before the accident."
"What accident?"
She giggled. "It's a joke. When I moved into my house, I didn't have enough money to buy a piano. I'm still saving up for it."
"Wow. I'd love to hear you play sometime."
She blushed. This date was a success. Eileen felt a little guilty about Rigby, but she seemed to like Don more as a friend. He was a bit flirty, but nothing that disgusted Eileen. She'd like to keep in touch with him.
"Do you have a place to stay tonight?"
"Yeah, don't worry. Goodnight, Eileen."
Susan rolled her eyes and continued painting her nails. "That was your plan? Make Rigby jealous by having his brother date his woman?"
"It's a good plan!" The man walked over to the camera. "It looks like things are going quite well for the couple... Perhaps this will be easier than I thought. I didn't expect them to have so much in common!"
The blonde woman shook her head. "I have ideas too you know."
"Yes, yes. You'll be able to work some magic soon." He grinned. "Very soon."
