Authors Note: I've noticed that a lot of Regular Show fanfics have that supernatural touch that the show has, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. I was amidst on what I should do with this chapter until after I saw the bowling episode a couple of days ago. Hope you enjoy!

Bowling Night

The past couple of days have felt magical. Three days in a row, and I've never felt closer to Margaret. She's now the reason I get up every morning. Every time I opened my eyes it was always blurry, but now, I wake up to her eyes and her voice telling me to get up. I accept her command and get straight up out of bed and stretched my arms. Rigby was under the pile of clothes on the trampoline. I decided to just get up and watch TV. For some reason I didn't feel like seeing Margaret today; I just felt like a day to myself. I guess that's part of love and relationships.

"Hey Mordecai," Rigby said lazily as I heard his footsteps going downstairs.

"Hey," I said while waving with my eyes still on the TV.

He sat down next to me, then sighed.

"Shouldn't you be playing Shooter Booter?" I ask.

"Ugh. I don't feel like getting shot at."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I dunno."

"It's a Saturday and known of us don't know what to do. It really is one of those days." A commercial came on as soon as finished talking.

[Are you bored?]

"Yeah," we both said.

[Do you like games that are both skillful and fun?]

"Yeah," we both answered again.

[Then why not come by to Pete's Bowling Alley. I, Pete Bowing, have worked for several years to make a bowling alley that is both challenging and fun. From the look, to the actual playing of the game, I have perfected the true spirit of bowling. Come by today and have a striking time!]

"That…was sooo corny," Rigby groaned.

"Dude, now that you think about it, we haven't been bowling in a long time." It was true. Ever since Rigby made that bet on our souls for a bowling ball of souls, we stopped going bowling.

"Did I hear a Pete Bowing?" Skips walk-skipped into the room.

"Yeah. It's some bowling commercial. You know him?"

"Know him? I've known him for 20 years. I'm guessing he's 42 now. He was always talking about making a bowling alley one day; I guess he finally did it."

"It took him 20 years?" Rigby asked.

"Well think about it. He's made it into an independent business. That takes money, resources, experience, and knowing the right people. He had to finish college at the time; get his life together you know?"

"Yeah that makes sense."

"You know if he still knows me we, could probably get in for free, but that would be taking advantage."

"Well could we still go? He seems like a cool dude," I said. Even though the commercial was corny, it did leave me guessing what it would be like.

"Well I guess. There's nothing else to do."

"Cool, but let's change it up a bit."

"How?" Rigby and Skips asked in unison.

"We only invite the cool people."

"So that means Margaret right?" Rigby teased.

"Nah. Something different."

"Like what?"

"Hmm…Me…you, Skips, and…" I pondered for a while, then crossed my arms with a grin on my face. "Eileen."

"Aww sweet!"

Skips and I couldn't help but snicker at Rigby's outburst.

"I mean yeah cool."

"Well then we're gonna need to stop by the coffee shop, so we can ask her to join us. Ha isn't that ironic?" I laughed.

"What?"

"You're asking Eileen out now."

"Yeah whatever."

"Well I'm gonna wait outside until you guys are ready." Skips walked out of the living room and left the house.

"Alright well let's get reaadyyy."

"Reaadyyy"

"So we can ask out Eileeen."

"Shut up!"

Rigby and I went upstairs to wash up. I let Rigby wash up first since he's the quickest. As in doesn't wash much. I waited for him in the room. I heard a vibration on the dresser. It was my cell phone, and I got a new text message. It was Margaret. It was the first text she had sent me.

[Margaret]: Hey. I'm feelin sick today, so I won't be in.

[Me]: Aww I hope you get better.

I then realized; how could I have invited Eileen and not Margaret? Even if I didn't feel like hanging out with Margaret today, I still would've invite to avoid being a jerk like her boyfriends. My phone vibrated again.

[Margaret]: Thanks Mordecai :)

[Me]: Np ;) It sucks you're sick right now. Me, Rigby, Skips, and Eileen are going bowling today.

[Margaret]: I hope you guys have fun! And you said Eileen was going?

[Me]: Yeah.

[Margaret]: Aww. Did Rigby mention her?

[Me]: Well I mentioned her and Rigby got all happy.

[Margaret]: Happy?

[Me]: Wait…that came out wrong.

[Margaret]: I was kidding. lol

[Me]: XD

[Margaret]: Yeah but still, it will be nice for those two to have some time together.

[Me]: Yeah

[Margaret]: Well I let you get on your way then. I gotta get some rest ttyl

[Me]: C ya

Rigby walked into the room, "Your turn."

I put my phone on the dresser and did my regular routine. After that we went to the golf cart. I didn't need a jacket. It was fair weather: just a regular day. We made our way to the coffee shop. It was pretty empty. Actually there was no one there. Eileen was closing shop. Skips honked the horn and Eileen walked outside.

"Hey guys! Hey Rigby." She waved lightly at him and Rigby smiled.

"Rigby. Tell Eileen where we're going." I said while turning around in my seat to look at him.

"Yeah we're going to the new bowling alley, wanna come?" Damn! Didn't even have to remind him to ask her.

"I'd love to Rigby."

"Cool hop in!"

"But I'm in my work outfit."

"You're fine. Come on!"

I knew he wanted to say something like, "You're beautiful just the way you are" but he wanted to play it cool and say something not so forward. Eileen blushed and sat in the golf cart next to Rigby. I peeked at the rear view mirror and saw Eileen touch Rigby's hand. He didn't flinch or even smile. He just seemed surprised. Be cool Rigby.

We finally arrived at Pete's Bowling Alley. The exterior itself was flashy. Think of it like this: Tron mixed in with flashes from a Street Fighter game. There were blue, gold, orange, and red lights flashing to the rhythm of booming techno music from inside. I wasn't sure what the 'spirit of bowling' was, but it sure as H got me in the mood. It had a big flashy sign that said, "Pete's Bowling Alley". We parked and then went inside. You know those people who can't take flashy images? Yeah…this place was not for them at all. (Author's Note: In no way do I mean to offend. This is simply as description.) It seemed as if this place was a dance club, and then turned into a bowling alley as an after thought. The bowling alleys glowed an ocean blue and the pins neon white. The floors were a dark purple carpet with glowing blue prints. The wood was a dark blue. Disco lights were scattered across the ceiling. There was an arcade section with old and new school games and a fairly sized snacking section.

"WAS PETE A PARTIER?" I yelled. The music was so loud I had to scream at the top of my lungs.

"NOT REALLY. HE MUST HAVE CHANGED HIS PERSONALITY OVER THE YEARS," Skips yelled.

"RIGBY! THIS IS A LITTLE LOUD FOR ME!" Eileen yelled.

"IT'S COOL. YOU'LL BE FINE WITH ME!"

"WHAT?"

"I MEAN YEAH LET'S GO!"

We went to the counter to get our gear. A man with a black buzz cut wearing black shades with blue outlining came out around back. He was wearing a black button down with blue jeans.

"Hey dudes and dudet. You come here to bowl?" He pulled up his shades and squinted, "Wait a second…Skips?"

"Yeah." Skips said still raising his voice.

"Oh my god Skips?" He went from behind the counter and gave him a bro hug.

"It's been too long Pete."

"Uh yeah. Dude have how have you been?"

"Long story. Hey you seem youthful still."

"I don't let age keep me down."

"Nice. Oh here are my friends: Mordecai, Rigby, and Eileen." We all waved at Pete. This guy was pretty cool.

"Well because I'm in a good mood, you guy can play 1 or 2 games free. Your choice!"

"What time is it anyway?" I asked.

Skips looked at his watch, "2 o'clock"

Only 2? The inside of this place made it feel like it was nighttime. He gave us all our correct size of bowling shoes and sent us on our way. We thanked him and trailed off. We decided to pick the fourth ally from the left. We entered our names in and began playing. It wasn't for competition this time, just for fun. Skips bowled first and of course got a strike. Rigby bowled and got a spare. Eileen went and got only eight pins down.

"Aw man," she sighed.

"Don't worry Eileen, I'll teach you next time you go," Rigby reassured her. I looked at him and nodded my head in approval. It was my turn and I got up and began to bowl. Someone next to me was about to go, and out of courtesy I let her go first.

"Mordecai? Mordecai is that you?"

I focused on her carefully. She was a tiger wearing a gray sweatshirt with black jeans. She had clear glasses "Shell?"

"Mordecai!" her ears perked up. She realized she hadn't bowled yet and went, and ultimately got a strike. She walked up to me and gave me a friendly hug.

"I haven't seen you in while."

"Yeah ever since high school."

"And I see you and Rigby are still buds."

"Yeah. Yo Rigby! Shell's here!"

"Shell?" Rigby looked up. Then smiled, "Hey!"

You see Rigby and me knew Shell ever since high school. She was always into books and…well books. Very studious.

"Oh I forgot to introduce you to my friend Jenny. Jenny!"

"Yeah?" The voice came from a snowy white wolf. She wore a pink shirt with blue jeans.

"Meet Mordecai and Rigby. There my old high school buddies."

"Oh hey guys," Jenny waved at us both.

"Well I guess I should let you guys bowl. We'll chat later."

"Yeah." Man, seeing old friends felt so good.

We continued our game and Skips won. We decided to grab a bite to eat at the snack bar.

"Rigby can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked while eating some nachos.

"Yeah," Rigby said sipping his soda.

"Make your move."

"What?"

"Make your mooove."

"I'm nervous man."

"Well she sure isn't. I think she's waiting for you to do it.

"I guess."

I winked at Rigby then got out of my chair and patted him on the back.

We started our second game and Skips started off saying, "I'll go easy on you guys this time." He did actually. It was a more chill game. Rigby took my advice and decided to flirt a bit. Eileen was up to bowl but Rigby walked up behind her and held her hand, guiding it.

"Just follow my lead," he said softly. Eileen and him let go of the ball together and got a strike.

"I did it! I did it!" Eileen cheered then hugged Rigby. He blushed and looked her in the eye. They stared at each other for a while.

"Oh um sorry," Eileen blushed, so did Rigby and they let go, but still stared at each other. You sly devil.

The game ended and Rigby was the winner. Strange I know. I guess love makes you do strange things. We got all our stuff packed up and were ready to leave.

"You guys leaving?" Shell asked.

"Yeah."

"Well here I'll give you my number to keep in touch." We saved our numbers into our phones and exchanged goodbyes.

"Hey it was nice seeing you again Skips!" Pete yelled as we walked out the door.

"You too!" Skips responded.

"Come by anytime."

We were on our way back home. It was 6 o'clock but it felt like a full day. Eileen told us her address and Skips drove her there. She nodded off to sleep on Rigby's shoulder. After a couple of minutes we made it her apartment.

"Thanks Rigby…for a great time." Eileen said while getting out.

"It was fun." They both hugged each other goodbye.

"Goodnight." Eileen slipped a piece of paper in Rigby's hand. He sat back into the gold cart and looked at the paper.

"Dude! It's her number!"

"Ohhhhhhh!" I yelled and threw my arms up

"Ohhhhhhh!"

"Ohhhhhhh!" Skips joined.

We shared a good laugh afterwards.

"Wait. So you do like the fact that you got Eileen's number?" I asked.

"Yeah. You right man. She is cool."

"Hmph. Hmph"

"Hmph. Hmph."

We got to the house at around 6:30. After a long day we were ready to hit the hay. I was about to get in bed until Rigby called me over.

"Hey dude, remember this?" He pulled something from behind the dresser. It was that bowling ball of souls.

"How can I forget? You bet our lives for it," I chuckled.

"Yeah but it is so worth it."

"Dude, be careful with that. We don't want that to drop and wake up anyone."

"Aww come on, it's not even late." Rigby soon lost focus with the ball he was carrying and let it slip at of his grasp. It landed hard with a thud and vibrated the floor.

"Rigby!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry," he said innocently.

The ball rolled out of our room and into the hallway. It then reached the staircase, where it hit every step causing them to buckle. It finally hit the ground hard and caused the floor to cave in. I punched Rigby in the shoulder.

"OW!"

We both went downstairs to see how much damage was caused. It looked okay. The ball I mean. It was just a little crack but…after looking at it closely, I got a bad feeling in the back of my head. Green mist started seeping out of the crack.

Oh shit!

Now of course my friend never actual dropped a ball of souls (and hopefully he never does) I just wanted to give the story that supernatural flare and leave you guys with a nice cliffhanger. :) This was my first time using OC's, but they're really based of 2 friends of mine, whom I got permission from. I decided to have the Rigby xEileen relationship grow a little after getting a nice review. Hope you guys liked that.

Unfortunately I have been grounded in the making of this chapter because I was staying up too late writing it -_- I'm off for 2 weeks. I can still read stories though, just can't write any new chapters until the end of my punishment, which sucks cause I had the next chapter ready to go for next week. So hang in their people. If you have any questions. pm me. That's my way of sneaking out of it ;) Leave a review please and for future reference: MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
