And now, let's get with this request made by wifishark on Deviantart, who requested a Rocko's Modern Life fanfiction starring everyone's favorite pair of frogs, the Bigheads! I've been looking forward to writing this one! This one is multi-chaptered, but this won't be a long one... probably three chapters at best, so keep that in mind as we go along! Anyway, enjoy!

Another morning had come to the quiet, occasionally loud city known as O-Town. Many people were already getting up and trying to get their day going, some were getting their kids up and sending them off to school, some were hurryingly trying to wake up and get to work in the early morning hours, and others were just going to relax on days off and clean the house. Indeed, this town looked like it has it's fair share of... er... interesting characters, like the cheerleader gazelles waiting eagerly for the bus to take them to school, the busy bunnies looking for eggs for their upcoming Easter festivities, a strange looking fellow in a bathing suit just skipping about minding his own business and having an occasional skip in his step as 'While Strolling Through the Park One Day' was playing on a nearby radio... but nothing compared to what was happening in one of the houses located on one of the many streets in O-Town.

In the home of the Bigheads, Mrs. Beverly Bighead, a toad wearing a bathrobe and curlers, was just taking her curlers off as she looked at herself in the mirror and blinked her eyes seductively. She then said in her usual sexy voice for some, strange and awkward for others, "Oh my, this'll definitely wow him for sure!"

Bev then shook her head as her usual ginger hair, that usually stood up, looked more curlier and flat as she gave a giggle, seemingly excited for today as she went over to the bathroom door and peeked outside, just in time to see someone was arising out of bed. Bev looked excited as she closed the door to get herself ready.

As the female toad was getting herself ready, dragging himself groggily out of bed was none other than another toad, wearing blue flannel pajamas and rubbing his head as he looked toward his calendar and marked off the day as he muttered, "Another day, another chip off my block..."

The toad, known to most as Ed Bighead, got out of bed and started to get into his dresser to fetch his clothes for the day. As he was doing so, Bev came out of the bathroom, wearing her usual pink shirt, blue jeans and pearl necklace get-up as she posed for Ed. "Good morning, Ed! How do you like it?"

But Ed Bighead just walked past Bev, not even noticing her as he entered the bathroom, intending to get himself ready quickly before work. Bev blinked in shock as she looked a little disappointed.

About fifteen or so minutes later, Bev was in the kitchen, making a good breakfast as she laid everything down on the kitchen table, as perfect as possible. It was at that moment, Bev heard the door from the upstairs bathroom slamming as she gave a smile. Pouring the coffee into each cup, she quickly sat down in front of the table, eagerly awaiting the man of the hour to ascend.

And ascend he did... very, very slowly as he was now in his regular work clothes and above all that, still looked a little groggy as he arrived at the table. Bev gave a smile towards her husband as she said, "I made breakfast for you, Ed."

"Great." Ed said, still looking tired as he grabbed the cup of coffee and chugged it down. "Just wrap it up for me, I need to get to work."

Bev's eyes widened in surprise as Ed headed towards the fridge to get his lunchbox out that he packed last night. Bev looked disappointed as she looked at the sausage and hash browns covered in flies she prepared specially for him, but still, if that was what he wanted... as Bev got up and started to wrap up Ed's breakfast in a napkin, she turned to Ed, who was checking the lunch box to make sure everything was in there. "Oh, Ed, you do remember what today is, do you?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, don't worry, I have plans..." Ed said, waving his hand towards Bev.

That caught Bev's attention as she looked interested. "Really? What kind of plans?"

"Huh? Oh, you know, it's plans." Ed said nonchalantly as he closed the lunch pail, took it in one hand and grabbed the wrapped up breakfast made by Bev as he said, "I'll see you after work tonight..."

"Tonight?" Bev looked interested, but before she could question Ed any further, he was already out the door and heading into his car as he started it up and started backing it out of the driveway.

Bev Bighead could only watch as she gave a sigh, looking down. "Oh, why am I getting my hopes up. He forgot again!"

As she went out the door, she could only look at the garden and sigh as she rolled her eyes.

"Good morning, Mrs. Bighead!"

Bev didn't need to look up to know that her next door neighbor, the wallaby in the blue shirt known as Rocko, had just come out of the house. "Hello there, Rocko."

Rocko then noticed Bev Bighead was down in the dumps. "What's the matter, Mrs. Bighead? You look like you've received the worst news of your life."

"Oh, Rocko, it's more than that..." Beverly sighed as she looked up at the morning sky. "Today is supposed to be a special day, but Ed seems to be treating it like any other day."

"A special day?" Rocko raised an eyebrow in confusion before his eyes widened. "Oh my goodness. Mrs. Bighead, are you telling me that today is your wedding anniversary with Mr. Bighead?"

"Exactly!" Bev gave a groan.

Rocko gave a smile as he said, "Well, happy anniversary to you, Mrs. Bighead!"

Bev gave a warm smile towards Rocko. "Thanks Rocko, it really warms my heart to hear that... but I wish the same could be said for my husband. He's forgotten our anniversary for so many years, and when he does remember, it's almost night time and he tries to rush out to the stores, only to find everything closed down and only giving me dead flowers at the last minute."

"Ouch..." Rocko winced. "I guess those are very bad memories for you..."

"Don't get me wrong, Rocko. I wish Ed would be more responsible for everything or even remember sooner. I guess I'm just more used to him forgetting..." Beverly gave a sigh.

"Mrs. Bighead, don't get your hopes down yet. I'm sure after forgetting, he's sure to remember now!" Rocko smiled. "Why, I bet he has a secret plan right now and is just waiting to pull it off at the right moment, right after he gets off of work?"

Beverly paused as she looked towards Rocko. "Do you really think that?"

"I'm positive, Mrs. Bighead. Why, I bet right now, he's thinking of nobody else but you!" Rocko gave her some reassurance.

Bev gave a warm smile as she said, "Maybe you're right, Rocko. Why, I bet he's even thinking of me right now!"

Despite Beverly's newfound optimism and Rocko's belief in Ed Bighead, inside the heartless corporation known as Conglom-O, Ed Bighead had nothing on his mind except work, work and work. And Ed found himself being worked to the warty skin on his back not only in terms of paper work and desk work, but also having to attend at least two meetings held by his boss Mr. Dupette, having only a ten minute lunch break, and having to fill in for an hour for one of the lizards to keep an eye on Mr. Dupette. Needless to say, Ed had nothing else on his mind.

And when his shift was over, Ed Bighead sighed as he carried his empty lunch pail out and crawled into his car, sighing in relief. "Finally... three o'clock, the heavenly hour. All I want to do now is relax and put up my feet..."

With that said, Ed started his car up as he got out of the garage used for Conglom-O employees and as he had managed to get out, Ed noticed that his car was running low on fuel. He sighed, "I guess one quick stop to the gas station won't kill me..."

As Ed made a few turns, he quickly spotted the gas station he was looking for and stopped at the nearest pump as Ed got out of the car as he turned to a gorilla attendee, who was sitting back. "Don't get up."

The toad then grabbed the gas pump and put the nozzle into his car as he tapped his foot and waited. He thought he would be quick, but then he noticed another car nearby another gas pump station that looked vaguely familiar. It was then Ed noticed someone leaving the gas station as his eyes widened. "Oh no, I am in no mood to deal with HIM today!"

Unfortunately, as much as the toad prayed that he didn't notice him, Rocko, who had just arrived at his car, noticed Ed standing nearby. "Hello, Mr. Bighead."

Ed cursed under his breath, as he turned to him grumpily. "Hello there, neighbor."

"Beautiful day outside, isn't it?" Rocko said as he looked up at the sky.

"Yeah, I suppose it is." Ed grumbled to himself.

"I bet you're excited for your anniversary with Mrs. Bighead." Rocko pointed out.

Ed crossed his arms and was about to start mocking Rocko behind his back as soon as he turned around... before stopping and looking confused. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Mrs. Bighead told me this morning today was your anniversary. I'm sure you're making big preparations." Rocko smiled.

Ed stared at Rocko as he shook his head and laughed. "Rocko, Rocko, Rocko. If you happen to look at the date on this newspaper, today is... uh..."

Ed was pointing to a newspaper stand with a couple newspapers still inside as he was trying to explain to Rocko about the date... before taking a look at the date itself as his eyes widened in shock. Rocko, raising an eyebrow, asked, "Mr. Bighead, are you oka-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Ed let out a large scream as he held his face in horror. "I-I-I-I-"

Rocko, shaken a bit, recovered a bit as he stared wide-eyed at his neighbor. "Mr. Bighead. Don't TELL me you forgot today was you and Mrs. Bighead's wedding anniversary!"

"I-I-I-I-" Ed looked around, sweat starting to pour out on his forehead.

Rocko, disappointed, crossed his arms. "Please tell me you have actual plans for her now and don't have to rush out of the gas station right now to find something perfect for her, only for the stores to be closed now, eventually ending up at a grocery store where you'll buy your wife cheap flowers wrapped in clear cellophane with the price tag still on it!"

Ed, no longer stammering, held his head in embarrassment as he started to cry. "I can't believe I did it again! No way is Bev going to forgive me now! Oh, what do I do, what do I-"

Ed Bighead then noticed Rocko still standing as he grabbed him by the shirt. "Rocko, you've always been a big help to me, even if I do find you annoying. You have to help me here!"

Rocko looked over at Ed in concern as he sighed. "All right, I'll help you out."

"You will?" Ed smiled as he let go of Rocko. "Oh thank you! I know I don't ask you much of anything, but I will greatly appreciate what you can do to help me! So... what can you do to help me?"

Rocko paused as he gave a smile. "Fortunately, I do happen to have a coupon for a fancy French restaurant, that'll allow anybody in."

"Oooohhh..." Ed's eyes began to shine.

"That restaurant is a little bit out of town, but fortunately, the drive is not too long." Rocko said as he started to dig around his wallet before pulling out the coupon. "Here it is. 'Free dinner for two at the Service de Fantaisie Français'. This is still good for another month, so use that if you will!"

"Rocko, you are saving my night right now!" Ed Bighead gave a big smile as he swiped the coupon off the wallaby's hands. "Now all I need is a good gift... but where can I get one? Rocko, you wouldn't happen to know any good jewelry stores still open, do you?"

Rocko gave a smile as he pointed to his left. Ed turned and saw that indeed, across the gas station, there was a nice little jewelry store across the street.

"Rocko... could you pay for my gas, please?" The toad said as he ran across the street.

The wallaby took a huge breath as he said, "The things I do to make a marriage stable... Wedding anniversaries are very dangerous days."

And with that, the first chapter has just been completed! How did you guys like it? Next time, Ed takes Bev out to dinner, but will things go wrong in the process? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
