Chapter 2: No Questions Asked
After what happened at the coffee shop, Mordecai made his way back to the park where Rigby was still playing video games in the house. As Mordecai shut the door behind him and took a deep breath, afraid of what he was getting himself into. He really didn't want to do it, but what would Margaret think of him if he backed down now? "Rigby!" yelled Mordecai even though he was only a few feet away from Rigby. Rigby turned to look at him.
"What?" said Rigby?
"I've decided to drink your 'Man Juice'!" Said Mordecai.
Rigby just stared at Mordecai for a few seconds but his blank expression of surprise quickly morphed into a mischievous smirk. "So you couldn't handle the title of being a wimp huh?"
"That's right, I'll drink your drink, but if I'm gonna do this, I need to make a bet with you in order to get me motivated." Said Mordecai.
"Pff! Sure okay, I like bets." Said Rigby confidently.
"Okay then, if I can't drink the whole cup in one go, I'll give you $40 bucks."
"And if you do?" asked Rigby.
"You have to ask Eileen out a on a date for a whole day."
Rigby's eyes widened at the thought of asking Eileen out, but quickly gained back his confidence.
"Alright, I accept your challenge, and if one of us loses, you have to do it, no questions asked!" said Rigby, confident that he was going to win.
Rigby placed to cup of substance in front of Mordecai, which smelled even worse than before. Mordecai looked at the beverage, almost puking from the very sight of it. "Oh god…" said Mordecai, disgusted. "It's too late to back down now, there's only one way out of this, and that's drinking it."
Mordecai turned away from the drink and tried to gain the courage to consume the concoction. "Do it for Margaret, do it for Margaret, do it for Margaret!" he said to himself. "This is gonna be the easiest win EVER!" said Rigby excitedly. As if it was all in one motion, Mordecai closed his eyes and chugged the drink down within seven seconds and managed to drink every last drop of it.
Mordecai cringed in discuss, and fell to the floor gripping his stomach. Rigby stood and watched in horror as his mind quickly came to the reality that he had lost
$40 and worst of all, he now had to go on a date with quite possibly the most boring and uninteresting girl in the world.
Mordecai chuckled as he put his arms on the table and tried to pull himself up. "I-I….I…..win…." said Mordecai, almost throwing up.
"W-wait a minute…b-but…" stuttered Rigby.
Mordecai looked up and smiled at Rigby, "N-no questions…asked…" Said Mordecai before collapsing onto the floor.
"No…. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Cried Rigby, as he collapsed onto his knees.
A few hours later, Rigby headed out to the coffee shop around the time Eileen's shift ended, murmuring to himself about how he was stupid to take that bet in the first place. As Rigby approached the coffee shop, he suddenly felt a little nervous and hesitated to open the door but snapped himself out of it and made his way in. Margaret was just about to leave, when she saw Rigby opening to door. "Did Mordecai actually win?" Margaret asked herself, almost laughing from half excitement and half because of what Mordecai did.
After looking around for anybody, Rigby spotted Margaret and walked over to her. "Hey Margaret, is Eileen here?" asked Rigby in a really unenthusiastic voice. "Uh, yeah, she's in the kitchen, I'll go get her for you." Said Margaret, trying not to show her excitement.
"Eileen!" yelled Margaret.
"Hey, what's going on? You seem excited about something." Said Eileen.
"Huh? Oh, I uh, just remembered something important." Lied Margaret.
"I just wanted to let you know that Rigby wants to talk to you about something."
"Rigby?" Said Eileen as she blushed.
"Yeah! Well, don't keep him waiting!" Said Margaret.
Eileen quickly brushed out her hair with her fingers and pushed her glasses closer to her face as she went out of the kitchen to greet Rigby.
"Hey Rigby" Said Eileen, trying not to look desperate.
"Hey." Replied Rigby lazily.
"Did you want to talk to me about something?"
"Go on a date with me tomorrow." Said Rigby, wanting to get this whole thing over with as soon as possible.
Eileen blushed after hearing what Rigby had said, and tried not to squeal even though she really wanted to.
"O-okay…when- or where should we meet?" asked Eileen timidly.
"I don't care, I guess the park or whatever." Replied Rigby.
"Alright, cool! Uh…what time?"
"Noon."
"Great!" said Eileen as she fiddled with the bottom of her work uniform.
There was an awkward silence between the two that seemed to go on forever even though it was only about 10 seconds. Rigby pivoted towards the direction of the door and made his way to the exit, leaving a bewildered, but happy, Eileen.
After Rigby left, he found himself an old can that he found near a trash can and started to repeatedly kick it in anger. "STUPID MORDECAI, STUPID BET, STUPID 'MAN JUICE'!" yelled Rigby. Rigby finally relaxed after blowing off steam, but was still angry for losing and asking out Eileen.
Rigby gave the can one last kick and made his way back to the park. When he got home, Rigby found Mordecai on the couch with a bucket next to him, no doubt sick from the 'Man Juice'. "So, did you do it?" Asked Mordecai. "I freaking hate you." Replied Rigby as he head up to his room, blushing lightly as he did so.
