Night. The trailer where the trio usually met was deserted. Instead, Rigby, Hi-5, and Eileen were sitting on a couch, with Mordecai in front of them. Each one of them seemed in a trance.
"And you will never believe in vampires again unless I snap like this." Mordecai said, before snapping. All three nodded drowsily. Mordecai, feeling satisfied, clapped, snapping the three out of the trance.
"Hey, guys, do you think that vampires are invading the park?" Mordecai asked.
"No." all three said in unison.
"Good." Mordecai said, grinning.
"However there are coffee-creatures." Eileen said meekly.
"Coffee creatures?" Mordecai repeated, skeptical.
"Yeah, since they were transformed by Eileen's coffee. Similar to vampires, but of course no such thing exists. So, they are now known an coffee creatures." Rigby said smugly. Mordecai frowned.
"You guys are ridiculous." He said, sighing.
"Ridiculous? We're going to be heroes!" Rigby said, before standing up and striking a pose. Mordecai, frustrated at his utter defeat, went up the stairs deciding to go to bed early.
"Yeesh, grouchy guy." Hi-5 said, rolling what should've been eyes.
"OH MY GOSH! VAMPIRES! HELP!" came a cry from upstairs.
"Very funny, Mordecai. We know there's no such thing as vampires." Rigby said audibly, loud enough for the condemned blue jay to hear. In a second, Mordecai was rushing down the stairs.
"RIGBY, THIS IS SERIOUS!"
Suddenly, they all saw Muscle Man stalking the blue jay.
"COFFEE CREATURES!" Hi-5 cried out, terrified.
Mordecai snapped over and over, before jumping over the rail of the staircase. He landed and sprinted towards the trio.
"Vampires!" Eileen cried out.
"Yes, now do your little magic and save me!" Mordecai said, frightened.
"Magic?"
"I don't know, whatever you've been discussing at your meetings!"
Rigby grabbed Mordecai by the arm and led him out of the house. Vampire Starla greeted them. She hissed before rushing forwards. Rigby screamed, letting go of Mordecai, and ran into a batch of trees. Mordecai, meanwhile, ran to wherever he could that a vampire wasn't.
"Rigby!" he cried out, before realizing something. The meat locker. Of course. He could just lock himself in there, and then when it was safe, come out through the magical lunch box. 'What weird scenarios I get myself into.' The bird thought to himself as he sprinted towards the meet locker. However, Vampire Starla was fast. In a minute she had caught up. Well, that was before something intended to hit her hit Mordecai. Garlic sauce. Eileen had the garlic products that Rigby bought and chucked them at the vampires. When Mordecai got covered with it, Starla retreated towards her. Eileen then made a circle out of garlic cloves around her driving the vampire muscle woman off. It had the same effect on Vampire Muscle Man.
Meanwhile, Hi-5 was trying to get away from vampire Pops. He wished he had stayed with Eileen and the garlic, but it was too late to turn back. Besides, he was a little bit lost. Eventually, he collided into another figure, before screaming. Two screams mixed in the night before the ghost realized he had just ran into a scared raccoon.
"Dude! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Rigby exclaimed.
"Not now!" Hi-5 replied meekly, brushing Rigby off before hurrying further into the woods. He had been gone two seconds before he heard a cry for help. Rigby. Hi-5 rushed back, watching as Vampire Pops leaned over the poor raccoon's neck. The ghost looked around, helplessly before finding rocks. After five rocks had hit the vampire, disrupting what would've been a bite, Pops chased after Hi-5 again. The ghost dropped all his rocks and ran further into the woods, Pops pursuing him. Rigby, meanwhile, decided to go check on Eileen and Mordecai. However, he managed to get himself lost and weaved through tree after tree. Stump after stump. Hopeless. When exhaustion finally got overwhelming, Rigby succumbed to sleep.
Mordecai had made it. He locked the door of the meat locker, breathing hard. His heart pounded in his chest rapidly, threatening to leap out. With a cold blanket that he found under an ice bag, Mordecai wiped that nasty garlic stuff off of him. He decided to wait a while before he left. After a while, the blue jay got bored. He started to explore the meat locker, far away from the entrance. He didn't notice that a vampire had entered through the entrance.
"Mordecai?" a voice rang out. Female, gentle.
"Margaret!" Mordecai yelped out, rushing towards the noise.
"Mordecai, those mean old vampires attacked me. If only I had a strong man to help me…" Vampire Margaret said, placing her words carefully. Mordecai had found her in a second and before getting a clear look at her, hugged her.
"Oh, Mordecai, I feel so much better." Margaret said, resting her chin on his shoulder. Mordecai shivered, the cold getting to him a bit. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. Before he could escape, Mordecai felt everything begin to fade as he fell down.
"And you'll feel much better too…." Margaret said, smiling, glad she got to have a meal.
Daytime.
"Rigby!" a faint voice called out.
"RIGBY!" it came again, louder. When the raccoon's eyes wearily opened, he noticed a very angry gumball machine glaring down at him.
"RIGBY, what is the meaning of me having to come all the way into the woods, to wake you up!"
"Benson…I…" Rigby began.
"SHUT UP AND GET TO WORK!" Benson raged, his face turning red. Rigby zipped his lips and followed the gumball machine to his work.
"Do you have any idea where Mordecai is?" Benson asked on the way, while calming himself down. Rigby looked around and gulped.
"You mean…he's…missing?"
"Yes, just like you. Was he with you and that stupid ghost in the woods?"
Hi-5 was also in the woods, but he was safe, Rigby realized. The raccoon smiled.
"Uh…no." he replied, hiding his joy that at least Hi-5 survived. Then he wondered about Eileen, and made a private note to himself to visit the coffee shop later. After working a bit, and cleaning up some garlic in front of the house, Rigby made a point to visit Hi-5 during his break.
"Dude…what happened last night?" Rigby asked, curious to know Hi-5's side of the story.
"Nothing. Survived." Hi-5 said, shortly. He seemed a bit sad, and he turned away from Rigby.
"Dude…what's wrong?"
"When Benson found me in the woods….he flipped out at me. He said that I have to cancel our late-night meetings at this trailer. I think he thinks that we're trying to get me back hired or some other load of garbage."
Rigby nodded, understanding.
"So, how are we-" he began, wanting to know how they were going to continue to meet.
"We'll just have to do it in secret from now on." Hi-5 said. Rigby grinned, believing it was a cool idea. He was quick to leave the trailer and visit the coffee shop.
Eileen walked up to his table.
"May I take your order?" she asked. Rigby grinned.
"You're alive!" he shouted, getting a few odd looks from customers. Eileen giggled, seeing as how Rigby was happy she was alive. In truth, Rigby was simply happy because that meant that since three of four survived, Mordecai was probably not a vampire as well. However, as the day progressed, he began to become more nervous. Benson hadn't found him yet, neither had Skips. Things were beginning to look pretty bad. And night was coming swiftly. Rigby sighed, guessing he'd get his answers at the time of night. Secret meetings…how awesome!
(Side Note: Shout-out to Zach and Silver Cascade for reviewing. Plus five awesome points for Silver Cascade, given that she's stayed with this story. Took Zach's advice, made Mordecai get the bite from Margaret. Anyways, next chapter will be up soon! Remember to review! Oh…and…*pulls out little black book*…who should be next vampire? Benson or Skips?)
