15th August 10:30AM Thursday

One week later…

A funeral was being held for Mordecai in the park, close to Rigby and Mordecai's secret spot, where they kissed for the first time. Doug and Rigby became good friends after the incident, however no one ever recovered from Mordecai's death. Everyone was at the funeral. Mordecai's family, Rigby's family, Don, all the park staff, Pops, Skips (After he returned and explained himself.), Margaret, Gene and the rangers from East Pines, Thomas's family, Tech-Mo, CJ, The God of Basketball, The Coffee Man and the Coffee Man's Translator, Starla, Death, Gary, The Guardians of Eternal Youth, Eileen's mother and father, Ethan, Shaun, Jason and pretty much most of the town, since almost everyone in Twin Peaks knew Mordecai.

Rigby sat up the front with Doug, Benson, HFG, Muscle Man, Margaret, Thomas, Skips and Pops, who each were covered in dry tears. They all looked at the coffin, which Mordecai laid inside. At the same time, the priest from the local church walked up to a podium beside the coffin. "We welcome everybody to the funeral, of dearly beloved Mordecai Quintel. Son of Steve and Sharon Quintel, Friend of Rigby, Benson, HFG, Mitch Sorrenstein, Margaret, Starla and many others. Mordecai left a print in all of our lives and his death has had a major impact on all of our lives." The priest began.

"Even though I didn't know Mordecai personally, we all knew Mordecai in some way, as all of us have seen him before, either having an adventure with his friends, or saving the city with them, which was on a regular basis. Now, even if we don't agree with some of the choices Mordecai has made in his life, it doesn't mean he didn't make the wrong ones. We will always remember Mordecai, as the blue jay who made everyone laugh and strong every time he was around. Now, I'm sure some of his closest friends have some tributes to read about Mordecai…" The priest continued, staring at Rigby and the others sitting in the front seats.

"I do." Rigby replied. "Come on up Rigby." The priest said. "Okay…um…" Rigby began, getting out a couple of cards he had written on. He looked at them for a second and threw them away. "My name is Rigby Salyers and I've known Mordecai since I was six. Since then, we've had hundreds of adventures together. Even before we got our jobs at the park. Mordecai was always there for me whenever something bad happened or whenever his friends were in trouble. When we got our jobs here, he even filled out the application for me because I was too lazy." Rigby chuckled sadly.

Authors Note: See if you can pick all the episode references!

"On that first day, we had more fun than we did in two years. And since the first day we got our jobs in, we've had lots of fun together, with Benson and the rest of the park staff aswell as Mordecai himself. Like…like the time where we did extra work to get tickets to a fist pump concert…" Rigby glanced over at the Coffee Man and his Translator. "And that time we made a fake band…and the time we released a video game monster while setting up some chairs…the time when we were attacked by an evil taxi..." Rigby continued, looking at the movie shack hut guy, wearing a gorilla suit. "And how could I forget the time…that we formed a bowling team and bowled for our souls…the time where we saved the park from being built over by an evil head who wanted to get revenge from us after beating his dad in a contest at the coffee shop. And the time when Pops left us on the mountain with Benson, so he could trust us to get him down to the bottom of the mountain." Rigby continued, looking over at Benson.

"And it was his idea to come here in the first place. So if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have made such cool friends." Rigby began to cry. Mordecai and Rigby's family looked at Rigby as he continued to speak. "Or when he took Margaret down to Steak Me Amadeus for a date." Rigby glanced at Margaret, with a depressed look on her face. "Or the time when we almost killed Skips for cake." Rigby glanced at Skips, who had a look of despair on his face. "Or the time we ruined thanksgiving…but saved it later on." Rigby glanced at his and Mordecai's families. "I also remember the time when he awkwardly kissed CJ on New Year's Eve a few years back…then became friends after she and Eileen…saved me and Mordecai from being stuck in a portable toilet." Rigby glanced at CJ and Eileen's family.

"Or that time, we helped Muscle Man get through a stupid love test with Starla." Rigby glanced at Muscle Man and Starla, who for once weren't making out. "Or the time we saved Christmas…" Rigby glanced at Gene.

"And I remember the time we wrestled with Pops at WWR Wrassle Frassle…" Rigby glanced at some of the wrestlers who were sitting in the crowd. "And…and the time we sent Pops into an alternate dimension while making a Viral video." Rigby glanced at Pops. "And…and the time we had to babysit Death's son." Rigby glanced at Death, who was actually crying. "And the time we tried to help Thomas escape Muscle Man." Rigby glanced at Thomas. "Long story short…we had hundreds and thousands of adventures with everyone here…and…nothing can take that away from us…Mordecai…Mordecai was an amazing friend, which you all know." Rigby continued.

"Mordecai…Mordecai was more than a good friend. Even though…even though our love was short. I will love Mordecai always, as a lover and as a brother. And nothing, I repeat NOTHING will take that away from me." Rigby finished. "We will all miss you Mordecai. A good friend, a good person, from start to finish." Rigby got down off the podium and put an Orchid on top of the coffin, before sitting down in his seat. Everybody in the crowd clapped and applauded Rigby, which still didn't make Rigby fell any better.

"It seems Mordecai had some amazing friends…" The Priest said, walking back up to the podium and smiling at Rigby. "And now…everybody…let us all give a moment's silence." The Priest ordered. Everyone obliged kept silent. A minute later, the priest began to speak again. "In tribute to the memory of Mordecai, all of us are going to give something important to Mordecai's family if you wish." The priest said. The crowd nodded and the funeral ended shortly after.

A few minutes later, everyone appeared in front of the house and began to put things in a big box. Rigby was first, he put in his 'I'm Eggscellent' hat and a picture of when the first got hired and a picture of when they first met. Margaret put in her pink sweater and a picture of their first kiss on the mountain. Benson put in his world's best boss mug, which the park staff got for him. Pops put in his winter hat and his fuzzy dice. Thomas put in his pizza costume. Skips put in the picture he gave Mordecai and Rigby after telling them his story. Muscle Man put in his special plant. HFG put in his brother's glasses and his boom box.

Eileen's family put in Eileen's glasses. CJ put in her mask from when she kissed Mordecai. Tech-Mo put his holographic keyboard in there. Death put in a soul ball. The God of Basketball put in his diamond basketball. Don put in his hat from when he was little. The Coffee Man and his Translator put in the fist pump clothes they stole from Mordecai and Rigby. Gene put in a box that looked similar to the one they destroyed to save Christmas. Starla put in the ring Mordecai gave her when he was fake-dating her. The Guards of Eternal Youth put in some of their rattles. Ethan put in his best video game. Shaun put in his best ring. And last just not least, Jason put in Mordecai's hat that he used to wear.

After this was done, Mordecai's parents thanked everyone and they all left. The only people left at the park, were the park staff and Margaret. Rigby sat on the stairs and was crying. Margaret came and sat next to Rigby. "That was a good speech Rigby." Margaret smiled. "Thanks Margaret, I'd rather be alone though." Rigby replied. "Alright." Margaret replied, walking into the house with the rest of the staff, who were sitting in the living room of the house.

At the same time, Mordecai was up in heaven, looking down on Rigby, who was still crying on the stairs. "Can I go down there and see him?" Mordecai asked. "Sure, but don't take too long. And remember, he can't see you, but he can hear you." A voice replied. "Alright, I'll be back." Mordecai replied.

Rigby was still sitting on the stairs, when he heard a familiar voice. "Hi Rigby." It said. "Mordecai?" Rigby asked. "Hey dude." Mordecai sat next to Rigby on the stairs, even though Rigby didn't see him, he knew is that Mordecai was there. "What's up?" Mordecai asked. "I miss you." Rigby replied. "I miss you too." Mordecai replied. "Why did you have to go?" Rigby asked. "I had to." Mordecai replied. Rigby continued talking to Mordecai, while Benson looked through the window and watched.

"Mordecai…where are you now?" Rigby asked. "What do you mean?" Mordecai asked. "Like…are you in heaven? Or hell, or…?" Rigby asked. "I'm in heaven, but I'm with you." Mordecai replied. "Wait a second, wait here Rigs." Mordecai ordered. "Alright, but come back soon." Rigby replied. Mordecai flew up back to heaven and asked; "Excuse me, is it possible that I can be Rigby's guardian?" "Sure you can Mordecai, if you wish." A voice replied. "Thank you god." Mordecai smiled. "Just another question…can you make it so he can see me?" Mordecai asked.

"Fine, but just because I like you two." God replied. "Thanks God." Mordecai replied, flying back down. Rigby sat on the stairs and noticed Mordecai appear next to him. "Mordecai…?" Rigby asked, trying to touch him. "Sorry Rigby, you can't touch me. But you can see and hear me." Mordecai replied. "How?" Rigby asked. "I asked god if I could be your guardian." Mordecai explained. "Guardian? You mean, you'll help me?" Rigby asked. "That's right." Mordecai replied.

"I wish I could feel you again." Rigby replied. "You can, but you can't touch me but I can touch you." Mordecai replied. "Really? How?" Rigby asked. "I'm not sure how it works, but…watch this." Mordecai picked Rigby up and kissed him for a few seconds. "See?" Mordecai smiled. "I…I felt it…" Rigby smiled back. "Now…even though I may not be in the physical world, I will always be here for you. Though no one else can see me or hear me." Mordecai replied. "That's so cool." Rigby smiled. "Rigby…thank you for the help and support all of my life. I may have died young, but I had more life than I would've had in 1000 years." Mordecai smiled. "Thank you Mordecai." Rigby replied.

"Well…what are you gonna do now?" Mordecai asked. "I'm not sure…I…I want to hang out with you." Rigby replied. "Then let's go!" Mordecai smiled. "Where are we gonna go?" Rigby asked. "Anywhere you wanna go." Mordecai smiled. Mordecai grabbed Rigby's hand and walked off with Rigby into the forest in the park. Benson noticed Rigby was holding onto something with his hand, but he didn't know what.

"I never thought I'd like those slackers like family…" Benson sighed, taking his hands off the window and sitting on the couch. Skips came in and comforted Benson.

Mordecai held Rigby's hand and they walked to their secret place and talked for hours.

Epilogue

Doug and Rigby moved in together and became real close friends, not in the love way, but in a friendly way. Mordecai would stay as Rigby's Guardian until he would die. Margaret moved out of Twin Peaks, it was too much for her to work in the same place without Mordecai. Muscle Man and HFG quit their jobs at the park and became world-known comedians. Starla married Muscle Man a few years later. HFG met up with Celia again and married her a year later. Pops passed away five years after Mordecai's death. Thomas became a real employee at the park instead of an intern.

CJ became Skips' girlfriend and she moved in Skip's garage with him. Benson continued to work at the park. Mordecai and Doug each in their own way, helped Rigby get through his depression. Gene and Benson became best friends as they got older. Mordecai and Rigby's family became really good friends. A couple of years after Pops died, Benson married Audrey and Skips married CJ. But even though Skips still loved Mona, he had to move on, though he would always keep skipping.

Gary, Death, Skips, Rigby, Benson and Archibald, one of the Guardians of Eternal Youth formed a bowling team called; The Park Elements.

And each day, Mordecai would help Rigby through his problems and make sure he was alright. Because even though Mordecai was dead. Rigby believed well enough that Mordecai's soul was still alive. Which contributed to Mordecai becoming his guardian. And when Rigby's time comes, he will go to where Mordecai is, in heaven. And play video games for eternity. Rigby never forgot all the times he spent together with his best friend. Not even death can separate a brick wall of a relationship such as this one. Mordecai and Rigby never let go of each other, like cement holding two bricks together.

"I love you Rigby." Mordecai smiled, staring into Rigby's eyes, sitting on the log next to Rigby, holding his hand.

"I love you too Mordecai." Rigby smiled and looked into his eyes. Mordecai kissed him and smiled at him. Rigby knew he was in heaven, before he even got there.
