Author's Note: Well I hope everyone had a nice holiday! It was nice for me, simple and sweet. Anyway, really sorry this took a while. I just wasn't in a writing mood at that the time. I'm going to try to be more consistent with my updates, for all my stories.

"Move On"

Gotta admit, I never thought a book from a clothing department store would such a deep answer.

You see, it turns out a few years back; Keith went shopping for his girlfriend (no longer together) and found the "The Answer Book" in the abandoned book section of the store and kept ever since.

Still, I get what it trying to say. This stuff will ruin me if I just don't get over it. I need to take my time with this though. There's no way I can just get over what happened over night. Just the thought that two people I truly trusted did that...it really just doesn't make me want to make new friends anytime soon. I don't want end up being screwed over again if I get too attached to someone else.

Come on, not everyone's like that.

I'm not taking anymore chances!

So you're just going to be isolated?

Ugh...This is exactly what the book meant.


JUNE 21st, 2011

Only a few more days until I'd have to back to the park: There were some up and downs with this vacation, but I'm determined to make my last days here great.

I woke up this morning to the sound of a very familiar voice.

"Mordecai..."

"Hmm..." I muttered.

"Come on man, wake up."

Yeah, I know that voice.

"...Rigby."

"Uh yeah... Wake up already!"

I opened my eyes, to see Rigby sitting on the bed, smiling.

I got up, incredibly surprised. "What the H are you doing here!"

"It's not just me, Benson, Pops and Skips are here too!"

"Really?" I couldn't help but smile. "Why though?"

"Well we wanted to surprise you and what better way than to come see you. We knew you would have to come back home in a few days and thought it would be nice for you to come back home with us than by yourself. We rented a car and drove here and got here at 7:15."

"Wow...that really is nice of you guys." They came all the way down here just for me? I'm really lucky to have these guys.

"You really should've woken up earlier," Rigby laughed. "Benson saw those talking bugs Keith had and started freaking out. It was hilarious"

"Sucks that I missed it."

"Yeah...you know, it's nice seeing Keith again. He hasn't changed a bit. Anyway, everyone else in the kitchen: I'll tell them you're awake."

"I'm getting up..." I yawned and stood up. "Hey, thanks for stopping by."

"Anything for my bro!"

I walked in the kitchen seeing Benson, Skips, Pops, drinking coffee and Keith drinking some orange juice. They greeted me, content on seeing me again, especially Pops. But I wasn't surprised, he's always ecstatic. They asked me how I was doing and I responded accordingly: i was fine, I was getting better, not getting into detail. No need to. I save the details for my bro.

Rigby and I sat out on the porch, just looking out at the early morning sky, not a cloud in sight, and a nice breeze to follow. After a few minutes of silence, Rigby spoke up.

"So, hear from Rhonda?"

I took me a while to answer. You know, collect everything that happened and form into a clear response.

"Not in the way I wanted to."

"What do you mean?"

"Shell called me about her. Long story short, she kept a secret from me."

"What secret?"

"Rhonda went on to see another guy. Shell knew, but didn't fill me in, leaving me in the dark. I know, Rhonda and I were never together, but I was still attached to her in way. Letting me know that she wasn't interested could've given me chance to just move on and forgetting about it; but not saying anything, leaving wondering where she is? That's not right. So, I'm not talking to Shell or Rhonda anymore."

"Damn..."Rigby said. "You okay?"

"As much as I can be. Keith gave me this answer book. I asked if there was any way to change things, fix them and the book told me to 'move on'. So, I'm going to follow that, as best as I can. But enough about me, how have you been without me?" I joked.

Rigby laughed, "Surprisingly, pretty good. Although, Eileen brought up something that's...well, it's making me think."

"What did she say?"

"...She was thinking of having me moving in with her."

I froze for a second, "Oh..."

Rigby leaving? I have to admit, that hit something. Me and him have never really been apart like that. Sure, Eileen's house isn't far, and I could always see him, but I don't know. I guess it's just weird seeing him show signs of maturing: I'd miss the Rigby that was immature and crazy.

I got out of my thoughts, "Have you decided yet?"

"Not yet, I don't know if I'd be good enough. I'd have to get a job, start doing more stuff...and you know how feel about doing stuff."

"Yeah, I know," I chuckled. "We all know."

"Ass..."

'Listen man, if Eileen talked to you about this, she must think you have some potential."

"I guess, never thought about it that way."

"Exactly, so don't be afraid."

"Aren't you going to miss me though if I do decide to move in with Eileen."

"Well H yeah. You're my bro, but I'll support with whatever you do man."

Rigby smiled, "Thanks."

"No problem."

We sat, just staring out, with not a word.

"Hey Mordecai?" Rigby asked.

"Yeah?"

"I know what has happened may have seemed stressful, but I promise you, me and everyone else will make sure that your last days here are the awesome. You'll see."

I smiled, "I look forward to it."

"Same here."
