It was a pretty typical morning in the public park. Benson was keeping maintenance on his golf cart while Skips was working on its engine. Pops was still asleep dreaming dreams of that of a small child would, and lord knows where Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost have gotten themselves into. Mordecai was sound asleep in his comfy bed while Rigby surprisingly slept even more comfortably on that trampoline he uses as a bed.
The sun's rays became stronger and shone into the boys' room. Mordecai soon rose up from his bed, gave off a loud yawn and was ready for whatever this day was going to throw at him. (Especially considering his and his raccoon friend's daily misadventures.) "Morning, Rigby." The blue jay said in a not too cheery, but not too drowsy tone. However, his raccoon friend was not willing to wake up, not just yet. "Dude, c'mon it's time for breakfast." Mordecai continued trying to wake his friend even by nudging him a bit, and Rigby still continued to sleep peacefully. "Wow man, sometimes I wonder why we're even friends." The blue jay thought to himself considering all of his and his friend's complete opposites. Just last night, Mordecai was amazed at Rigby's ability to stay up late and not even feel the least bit tired as if he was nocturnal or something. Mordecai finally gives up and says quietly, "Alright dude, you win. But don't start crying after I eat your breakfast." After uttering these words, an idea lit up in the blue jay's mind like a light-bulb would in a dark closet.
Mordecai walked down the stairs with a slight grin of sheer confidence knowing that this plan wouldn't fail. He put a couple of frozen waffles in the toaster and in an instant, they were ready. He then put them down on a plate, dowsed them with some maple syrup, and went into the storage room. He found a tall, rotary fan, plugged it in to the nearest socket, and placed the fan in front of his room. After turning the fan on, the blue jay then placed the tray of waffles in front of the fan and let the scent of waffles go in the room. The scent was picked up in an instant by the sleeping raccoon, and as if he were sleepwalking, he walked down to the kitchen with his eyes tight shut following the scrumptious scent to its origin.
Once Rigby got to the kitchen, he let out a yawn and sat down in one of the chairs near the kitchen table. "'Bout time you woke up, Sleeping Beauty." Mordecai taunted towards his half asleep friend. "I had to make breakfast and everything just to get you awake." He said while serving himself a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee made earlier in the morning. "It was SO much work for a guy like me. So I better wake up to a stack of pancakes tomorrow, got it?" The blue jay jokingly scolded to his friend. Rigby didn't reply seeing how he was almost still asleep. Mordecai's friendly smile suddenly drooped down to a disappointed frown. "Man, you're no fun in the morning, Rigby. It's like trying to tell a joke to a brick wall. Funny thing is that you got just as much intelligence as one." Mordecai said hoping to get at least a response from his zombie-like friend, only to find him snoring on the table. "Aw, c'mon dude, stay awake for at least a second." the blue jay hastily responded while snapping his wing-like fingers in the sleeping raccoon's face. "Huh, wha- oh, hey Mordecai." Rigby responded after being awakened by his tall blue jay friend. "Wow, waffles, I haven't had these in a while. Hey Mordecai, do you mind getting me a cup of coffee?" The raccoon asked in a very drowsy tone. "Yeah, Rigby.. I guess..." Mordecai replied in a very disappointed tone while getting his friend a cup of coffee. If he remembered correctly, Rigby liked his coffee black with lots of sugar. "Wow" Mordecai thought to himself "I AM right, we are complete opposites." Seeing as how he likes his coffee with half and half with little or no sugar. As the blue jay set down the coffee, he was surprised to see Rigby not wolfing down his waffles as he usually would. He was so sleepy that he wasn't in any rush whatsoever, and was actually taking his time to chew and taste the waffles in front of him. "Dude, are you sick or something?" asked Mordecai with a sincere tone. "Oh? Oh um.. no actually. I just want to enjoy my waffles" the raccoon replied with the same sincere tone his blue jay buddy asked with. As he took sips of his coffee, Rigby soon began to wake up a bit more after every sip. He still seemed very tired. After a couple of sips of joe, he finally was able to speak with his eyes at least half open.
"Jeez man, what time is it anyways?" the raccoon asked while letting out another yawn. Mordecai checked the microwave's digital clock. "It's ten-o-clock in the morning. Pretty early in your standards, I presume?" "WAY too early, dude." Rigby replied in that drowsy tone he always had in the morning. "Couldn't you have just told Benson to wait a couple of minutes before we got started on work?" "Oh Rigby," Mordecai slyly replied, " even a third grader could connect these oh-so-obvious clues. Think about it: if Benson did let us rest up a few more minutes, why would I be up now? C'mon man, at least TRY to use that little pea brain of yours." Mordecai received no response from his pal. The blue jay began to feel a little bit like a jerk. "Hey man, you know I'm just messing with you, right? I don't really mean all those things I say" Mordecai then realized that his raccoon friend didn't respond not because he felt insulted, rather he fell asleep again, snoring as usual. "Dude! C'mon, I even put five spoonfuls of sugar in your coffee! How does THAT not wake you up?" Mordecai said in an irritated fashion while snapping his fingers in front of his snoring buddy yet again. "Huh, wha- oh, sorry Mordecai. I'm just really not used to waking up this early in the morning." Rigby replied in an even drowsier tone than before.
"So, what do we have to do today?" the sleepy raccoon asked while eating a bit more of his waffles. "Let's see…" Mordecai pondered on what today's activities were, "We have to wash our dishes first, then help Skips out with changing lawnmower's oil, polish the wooden floor, aaaaannd, oh, wait, we have to tend to some of the younger trees today. Benson told us some of the poles sustaining the trees were getting loose or rusty. There's some newer poles in the garage we have to use to replace the older ones. That's about it for today." Just by hearing that list, Rigby already felt tired enough to go back to sleep. "Man, when will Benson give us a break?" "Um, dude, I don't know if you noticed, but this really isn't so much to do compared with other days. I think we can get this done in less than three hours. How's that sound?" Mordecai asked while finishing his bowl of cereal. "…I guess it's fine…" the drowsy raccoon lazily responded. "Alright dude, hey are you done with those waffles?" Mordecai asked noticing that Rigby left half of one of his waffles on his tray. The raccoon shook his head and then continued enjoying his breakfast. Once he was done, his blue jay buddy told him not to worry about the dishes, that he'll handle them. "Just go meet up with Skips and start working on the lawnmower." "And if I fall asleep again?" Rigby replied with a very worried tone to Mordecai's surprise. "Relax Rigby, you'll feel better later on in the day. I'll meet you up with Skips, okay?" And with that, Rigby's worries were easily calmed. "Alright, dude, meet you there." Rigby responded letting out another yawn. As he commenced walking out of the kitchen, Mordecai then began to wash the used dishes. "Oh, and Mordecai…" Rigby said while catching his friend off guard. Mordecai then turned around seeing his raccoon pal holding on to the doorway with a droopy looking frown and his eyes still half opened. "…Thanks for the waffles" Mordecai was yet again surprised with his friend's unusual attitude, and he even blushed a bit without his pal noticing. If he didn't know any better, the blue jay would suggest that his pal caught a serious case of the flu. "…Yeah, yeah, just go meet up with Skips, okay?" The blue jay hastily responded to his out-of-usual-mood friend. "Okay, see you there." Rigby replied with a small grin of genuine appreciation as he left the house. Mordecai stopped and thought about his friend's general weirdness. "Stupid Rigby…" he thought to himself still feeling a bit embarrassed that his pal was acting so chummy towards him. After he finished with the dishes, he set off to the garage to help Skips and Rigby out with the lawnmower like he said he would. "I can already tell today's going to be a really weird day…"
So tell me what you guys think. Leave a review; add a suggestion; point out a flaw, anything. I WILL be introducing an OC in the later chapters and she will have a crush on Rigby, but trust me when I say this… it will NOT come out like you would think an OC X canon character relationship would work out. Check back next time and keep reading. See ya.
