theme: VHS tape
"What about this one?" Eileen pulled the tape out from underneath the cluster.
She flipped it around in the palms of her hands.
"The Grandfather Massacre?! Oh man, this is my favorite horror movie of all time!" she exclaimed, quickly popping it into the VCR.
"You've seen it before, right Rigby?" Eileen inquired, setting up the film. He uncomfortably shifted to the other side of the couch.
"Yeah... lots of times," he insisted, swiping a round pillow off of their shag carpet.
"Good. Then you'll know when a 'limb-chopping' scene is coming as opposed to you watching it for the first time."
"Eeeguh," Rigby squealed, pressing the pillow harder against his chest.
Eileen raised the remote. "Ready?" she asked, curling up on the couch beside him.
"Yeah," Rigby replied uneasily.
He didn't want her to think he was some kind of wuss or something.
The TV screen flashed white and blue, cutting to the opening of the gory flick. Rigby whimpered, scooting closer to Eileen.
He was still holding the pillow in his grasp.
As soon as the blood-red text of the beginning faded away, he began to tremble.
After a couple of minutes of constant quivering, Eileen decided that he had had enough. She rose out of her seat and headed over to the VCR.
Calmly, she ejected the VHS tape, tossing it back into the pile of old movies.
"What are you doing?"
"Rigby, I could feel you shaking during the credits. If you were scared, you should have just told me," Eileen answered.
"You're right... next time, I should pick the movie," Rigby added, grinning.
A/N: WAAAH! did anyone else see the RS panel at Wonder-Con?!
That one question with Eileen and Rigby killed me.
Question: Have you ever thought about Rigby doing something romantic? Like asking Eileen out?
William Salyers (Rigby): I think it'd be interesting to see, but what would that even look like?!
Sam Marin (using Muscleman voice): He's never going to do it.
William Salyers: DON'T PUSH ME
and the advice MM gave to Rigby about asking out Eileen was hilarious
