Well, you've made it to the next chapter! Thanks for continuing, hopefully I get some reviews so I can write down the names of reviewers. This chapter Mordecai and Rigby finally discover Halloween Town! (Hooray!)
Regular Show and The Nightmare Before Christmas belong to their rightful owners. The idea of the fanfic was mine. All songs in this chapter belong to the movie.
Chapter 2: This is Halloween
"Ugh, I hate cleaning! Why do we even have to clean the forest?" complained Rigby.
"It's probably because Benson thinks that we'll screw everything up before the party even starts," answered Mordecai, picking up another plastic bottle and threw it into a recycling bin.
"Well, how 'bout we relax in the forest and when Benson comes we can start working again?" Rigby gave the idea.
"Dude, you are a genius," the blue jay said staring at his pal, wide-eyed.
"Come on, I think I see a clearing up front," Rigby scurried off.
"Dude, wait up!" Mordecai ran after the raccoon.
Shortly after running, Mordecai saw Rigby standing in front of a lone tree. First he caught his breath and asked his friend, "Dude, whats you're problem? Now we're probably lost and Benson is going to kill us! What are you staring at?"
Mordecai's eyes followed Rigby's gaze back to the tree, but his wasn't an ordinary tree.
It had a wooden jack o' lantern door on it.
Mordecai checked the back of the tree and it had some writing on it. "Dude, there's some writing on the back of the tree."
"Well what does it say?"
Mordecai cleared his throat. "Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems. In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story that you are about to be told takes place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd say it's time you've begun."
Suddenly, Rigby reached for the nose of the pumpkin, which was the doorknob and exclaimed, "Come on let's see what inside!"
But his buddy's hands were too quick and slapped the raccoon's hands before his hand could touch it. "No way dude, we're probably going to get in trouble if we stay too long. Curiosity kill the cat."
Rigby started to growl, "Well it's not going to kill a raccoon! Just let me go take a peek!" The dress up raccoon launched itself to the door before getting tackled by Mordecai.
"Dude, I said no! Let's go!" It wasn't before long when they started to brawl in the leaves of the dead trees that littered the ground.
But they both suddenly stopped when they heard a squeaking sound of a door opening. They both saw that the jack o' lantern door was now opened all the way, and inside was nothing but darkness.
"I told you we are not going in!"
"But it wasn't me who opened the door!" Rigby confessed.
All of a sudden, the pair were sucked into the door and it slammed behind them. They were both screaming as they fell down into the darkness.
In a matter of minutes, they both got shot out of an iron gate and landed right underneath a scarecrow.
"Ugh, where are we?" Mordecai asked as he rubbed his head.
"Dude, this place is giving me the shivers."
"It says that we're in a place called 'Halloween Town'," Mordecai answered his own question.
"Maybe they have candy!" that earned a glare from Mordecai. "Or maybe they have some answers?"
"Come on," the blue jay started walking into town with his partner, but then they started to hear songs.
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbor's gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song!
"Dude, this is starting to freak me out..." Mordecai said looking around at the town's people who were to busy singing to notice them.
"Nu uh, these people have really good tastes in costumes."
"I don't think these are costumes, Rigby. Come on." Mordecai dragged his friend to hide behind the nearby fountain.
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
'Round that corner, man, hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll -
Scream!
This is Halloween!
Red and black
And slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
"Mordecai, what if they eat people? Or what if they-"
"Dude, quit thinking like that." 'Maybe we have to wait till they stop singing. What are they even singing in the first place?' Mordecai thought to himself.
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
In this town don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
All of a sudden, people started to gather around the fountain and a path opened up in the middle of the crowd. Luckily, Mordecai and Rigby were on the other side of the fountain. They peeked up to see what was coming, but all they saw was some kind of zombie with an ax stuck in it's head pulling something through the crowd. And it was a scarecrow on a straw horse.
"What's so special about a scarecrow?" Rigby asked.
Mordecai was just about to answer when the scarecrow started to move. It grabbed a torch from the audience, put it into its throw lighting itself on fire, and started to do some crazy moves to impress everyone. And boy, weren't Mordecai and Rigby impressed.
But all of a sudden, the scarecrow jumped off the horse and landed right into the fountain right next to the duo.
And up rose a tall skeleton right next to Mordecai and Rigby.
And this leaves of with a small cliffhanger! Will the skeleton notice the two? Who is this skeleton? (you probably already know) How will Mordecai and Rigby return home? Find out soon! Please R&R!
