Hi everyone! I know it's been awhile since I wrote a story but you try going through High School and doing a lot of work.

Anyway this is the Squeal of Everybody Cries II. Originally it was Animetoonz's story but she lost her spark into the story and was busy with things in life. So I decide to adopt the story from her! We had the idea of Cecilia, Mordecai's mother, embarrassing Mordecai with the "Mordy Moments" tape. The idea came because in the flashback from the episode, it was hard to watch poor Mordecai getting laugh at by his own family like that. Animetoonz and I both thought Mordecai should have said something to his mom about the tape.

Also, before you all ask "How is Mordy Moments broken when it was shown in the episode Maxin' and Relaxin'"? Keep in mind that this is a Fanfiction where anything can happen. Also I know she wrote this but I kept it like this because I love the way it is. But I change something a little bit.

So relax and enjoy the story!

Chapter 1: Embarrassed (Mordecai)

Today was a regular Thursday evening and Mordecai was going to his parents' house. Normally he doesn't mind, but today was the day of his mother's home movies night. Mordecai doesn't really like them because it's usually embarrassing or lame but it can be funny at least once in a while. However, tonight will be anything but humorous and could very well jeopardize the relationship between Mordecai and his mother permanently.

Once he arrived at the home Mordecai was greeted by his mother, Cecilia, "Hey there Mordy!" she hugged him tight, "So good of you to come!"

"Y-Yeah." Mordecai said awkwardly as he hugged back, "Good to see you too, mom. Are the others here?"

"Oh yes!" she said as she lets go, "They're in the living room. Why don't you go join them while I get us all some refreshments?"

"Okay." her son said before his mom went to the kitchen.

The young blue jay walked to the living room and saw his father, William; his uncle, Steve, and his aunt Maxine (Cecilia's sister), all sitting together on the couch (which was big enough for five people).

"Hey there, son!" William greeted his son with a hug.

"Hey Mordy!" Steve greeted him with a firm pat on the back.

"Hiya sweetheart!" Maxine stood up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi everyone." Mordecai greeted his family in a polite manner.

As embarrassing as his family can be sometimes, Mordecai still loved his family and accepted who they are, regardless of how they can be. He sat down next to his father on the couch as mother came in with popcorn, ice cold drinks, some cookies, and what appears to be a tape tucked underneath her arm.

"What's that mom?" he asked her.

"It's a little something I like to call "Mordy Moments"!" Cecilia said with glee,

"Oh mom!" Mordecai groaned, "Not another-"

"Here we go!" she interrupted.

Mordecai rolled his eyes as she sets the snacks down on the table and puts the tape into the VCR. The movie started and already Mordecai hated it because it was one of those old videos where his mother recorded some moments of her son when he was a little blue jay. But, they weren't exactly good memories because him mom recorded some rather "funny" moments that were actually accidents from whether he was playing or participating in school activities.

But when Mordecais family started laughing their heads off, he felt humiliation on an entire new level. He's had people and friends laugh at him for different reasons before, but not anyone his family especially his mom and dad. In the middle of the movie, everyone was still laughing and did not even notice that Mordecai was getting very upset over this.

With anger and embarrassment in his heart, Mordecai turned on the lights, stomped over to the VCR, stopped the tape, took it out, and threw it against the wall. The tape didn't break but everyone was shocked at Mordecais sudden angry attitude.

"All of you just shut up!" he yelled at his family, "Shut up right now!"

"Mordecai Quintel!" his mother rose up and placed her hands on her hips, "What has gotten into you?!"

"Look who's talking!" Mordecai barked, "How could you do this to me?!"

"Now, that's no way to talk to your moth-" Cecilia wagged her finger before Mordecai interrupted.

"You didn't answer my question!" he yelled again, "I said how can you do this to me?!"

Cecilia took a deep breath before speaking to her angry son again. She knows that a good mother always listens and tries to reason with their child in a situation like this.

"Mordy honey," Cecilia said a little more calmly, "I recorded those moments because I cared about you. As a mother, I thought that-"

"You don't care about me!" Mordecai snapped in fury, "All you care is about humiliating and making me look like a clumsy idiot! You think you're a cool mom but you're not!" he started to tear up before he finished, "Just...stay outta my life! I never wanna see you or hear from you ever again!"

Mordecai ran from the living room and out the front door, leaving everyone in the room very shocked and guilty at the same time. They felt horrible because they had laughed at Mordecai all because of the clumsy moments his mom had recorded on the tape.

"Man, I feel terrible." Steve said in regret.

"Me too." Maxine nodded in agreement.

"It was really mean of us to laugh at his embarrassing moments." William said sadly, "We should've been more considerate of Mordecais feelings."

Everyone was silent for a moment before Cecilia went to the door, "I got to find Mordecai. Everyone else, stay here until I I find him and bring him home." she said before she left.

The rest of the family sat in silence and hoped that Cecilia would find the young blue jay in time.

Mordecai ran only two miles before he decided to stop at a tree near a lake. He sat underneath the tree, folded his arms over his knees, and rested his head on them. The whole time he was alone, he kept on hearing the echoing laughter of his family just tearing his head apart and there was nothing he could do to make it go away.

"Augh!" Mordecai groaned, "Why did she have to play that freakin' tape?! Does she like to embarrass me all the time?! Why does she always have to ruin my life?!" his eyes filled up as he took a couple deep breaths, "I'm so sick of it, but what's the use? Mom will never understand me..."

He felt his eyes spilling as he held his head with his hand. Mordecai felt crushed that not only his family laughed at him like a bunch of immature high schoolers, but his own mother would deliberately humiliate him without even a second thought. He thought about going back to the park and leaving everything behind when he heard a voice calling out to him.

"Mordecai!" Cecilia said in a distance, "Mordecai! Mordecai where are you?! Please come home!"

Although one part of Mordecai told him to go to his mother and give her another chance, but then another side said to just leave and never come back. Mordecai got up on his feet and took off sprinting away from the voice of his mother, just as she saw her son in the distance.

"Mordecai!" she called again before running, "Mordecai wait! Come back!"

Mordecai ignored her as he ran towards the river. Then, he began to hear his father's voice calling out to him along with his mother. William had, just now, joined his wife on the search because he grew too worried for his wife and son and wanted so much to apologize to Mordecai.

"Son waits!" William pleaded, "We want to tell you something!"

Mordecai didn't listen because he thought and believed they would just scold him by saying he was overreacting. But without even looking, he tripped over a huge rock spraining his ankle and he began to roll down and fall into the river.

"HELP!" Mordecai cried out.

"MORDECAI!" Cecilia and William cried in fear.

Thinking quickly, Cecilia tied herself to a tree and dived right in the river to save her son. She grabbed him and held his head up so he could breathe. William pulled them out and looked over Mordecai with deep concern.

"Is he alright?" he asked in a worried voice.

"He unconscious but I think he's alright." his wife responded, "Help me carry him back to the house."

"Alright." William nodded.

They carried Mordecai back to the house where Steve and Maxine where waiting on the front porch with worried expressions. Once everyone was inside, Cecilia nursed Mordecai's ankle before she dried herself off. Despite the risk of getting sick, she knew it was much more important to help her child than to worry about her own help. After's wrapping Mordecai's ankle in a gauze bandage, Steve carried the unconscious Mordecai up to his room while his sister-in-law went to her bedroom to dry herself off and change out of her wet clothes. As she was changing her clothes she was worried about her baby boy hoping that he was okay.

"Please be alright, Mordecai." she prayed, "Please..."

Mordecai had woken up an hour later but he felt a little bit dizzy from his ordeal and didn't take very long to realize he caught a cold after he fell.

"Achoo!" he sneezed loudly before he held his head, "Oh geez..."

He was about to get up but he winced in pain. He moves his sheet a little and saw that his foot was wrapped up in a bandage and was propped on a small pillow and he remembered he sprained his ankle when he was running away from them. Although his body was on the road to recovery, Mordecai still felt upset at his mother for embarrassing him in front of his family and everyone laughing at him.

Speaking of which, Cecilia went up the stairs to check on her son but she stopped at his door for a moment. As much as she wanted to be there for Mordecai, she knew in her heart that her son was still furious at her and everyone for what happened with the tape. Taking a deep breath, Cecilia opened the door and, slowly, wet inside Mordecai's room.

The moment he saw her mother enter, Mordecai gave a deep glare, crossed his arms, and turned his head away from her without saying a word.

"Mordecai," Cecilia began with a deep sigh, "I'm so sorry. I had no idea-"

"What?!" Mordecai glared at her in fury, "You had no idea?! Then what's the point of making that tape?!" he snapped as his eyes filled with tears again, "You want to pretend this never happened but you can't! You created that dumb video just to show everybody that you have a stupid, clumsy idiot for a son!"

Cecilia felt her own eyes watering and opened her beak to say something before Mordecai interrupted.

"Save it." he said sternly as he turned away, "I don't wanna hear any of your excuses. Just get out."

His mother hanged her head in shame and said nothing as she walked out of Mordecais room and, slowly, closed the door. Cecilia lets a couple tears roll down her cheeks before wiping them away and making her way downstairs where the others are waiting. Her husband held out a cup of tea for her as she sat next to him on the couch.

"I guess it didn't go to well?" William asked in sorrow.

Cecilia shook her head, slowly, as she took a sip of her tea, "My own son hates me now. I'll never forgive myself."

"Honey, calm down." he rubbed her back, "He was just upset, that's all."

"But he's right though!" she said as her eyes filled again, "All I wanted was to spend time with my son and I end up ruining his life! How could I not know that I was acting so ridiculous towards my own flesh and blood?"

William rubbed the back of his head in regret, "Well, that's the thing honey. He did try to tell you over and over again."

"What?" she asked in disbelief, "But you never lied to me. Why didn't you tell me?"

William paused for a moment before he answered his wife, "Me and Mordecai did try to tell you. You just didn't listen."

Cecilia looked at her husband and realized that he was right. Whenever Mordecai tried to tell his mother to either slow down or just stop being so silly, apparently she ignored him while just being herself. Of course she would never ignore her family on purpose, but she didn't see how much humiliation and damage she was causing to Mordecai's life.

"Oh my gosh." she looked down at her feet, "I had no idea. I'm such a horrible mother. No wonder Mordecai hates me..."

Then, William gave her a gentle hug and rubbed her back, "Now, don't go saying that Cecilia. You're a wonderful mother and Mordecai knows that. Sometimes when we get upset, we say and do things that we don't usually mean whether or not it hurts others."

Steve nodded in agreement before she spoke, "He's right, Cecilia. And besides, Mordecai would never hold a grudge against his own family. He'll be alright."

Maxine nodded in agreement as Cecilia smiled a little and started to calm down, "Alright. I'll go talk to him again." she lets go of her husband and stood up, "He may not want to talk to me but I want to let him know how much I love him. Please excuse me."

"Take all the time you need, hon'." William gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Cecilia mustered up her courage before she made her way up the stairs once again. Once she had reached for Mordecais door, she stopped when she heard the sounds of faint sobbing coming from her son's bedroom. She opened the door slightly ajar and peeked in to see her son, who was angry only moments ago, was sobbing in his pillow.

"W-Why did I act like such a jerk?" Mordecai sobbed in regret, "All she was doing is being her usual self and I just blew up at her! What kind of son am I?! I'm the worst son ever!"

Cecilia felt heartbroken that her son was in deep regret all because of a stupid video tape. As much as her son's words hurt her, she wasn't angry or upset at Mordecai and it was mostly her fault to begin with. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she opened the door and walked inside.

"Mordy?" she spoke softly, "Are you okay, honey?"

"L-Leave me alone..."Mordecai said not in anger but in guilt. After what he said earlier, he couldn't bear to look at his mother.

"Listen sweetie," his mother sat down next to him, "what you said did hurt a little, but you weren't wrong. You had a very strong point and I do appreciate you being honest with me."

Mordecai briefly looked up at his mother with teary eyes, "But I yelled at you in front of everyone, ran off, and said a bunch of hurtful things to you! How can you be so calm and forgiving after what I did?"

She smiled warmly and rubbed his back, "Because I'm your mother. And a true mother always forgives the actions of their children, no matter how poor they are."

Mordecai sat up and looked into his mother's gentle eyes. He opened his beak to say something, but no words came out whatsoever. With his soaked eyes gushing with tears, he threw himself on his mother's lap and sobbed even more than ever, almost like a child even. His mother only smiled as she placed one hand on his back and rubbed his head very soothingly.

"Shhh, don't cry honey." Cecilia comforted her sad boy, "I'm here, and I'm here."

She kept comforting the young blue jay for a little while as Mordecai continued to cry in guilt, regret, and shame. As soon as his sobs had settled, Mordecai lifted himself up again and wiped his eyes as his mother patted his back.

"Feeling better?" Cecilia asked.

"Y-Yeah." he said in a shaky voice, "I feel okay now. Achoo!" he sneezed.

"Bless you." she handed him a tissue.

"Thanks." Mordecai took it and blew his beak into it, "So, you're not mad at me?"

"Of course not." she shook her head before hugging him, "How could I be mad at my own baby boy? Besides, I know you never meant any of it."

"I know, but I still feel bad for what I said." Mordecai looked down, "Can you ever forgive me?"

Cecilia smiled again as she hugged her soon even closer, "I already have, Mordy. I love you."

A single tear ran down Mordecai's beak as he hugged and smiled back, "I love you too, mom. And I'm very sorry."

"And I forgive you, honey." she gave him a loving kiss on the forehead before pulling away, "Now, do you need anything?"

"Um, you mind getting me a glass of water please?" he asked before clearing his throat.

"Sure honey." Cecilia stood up and wrapped him in another blanket to keep warm, "You just take it easy and I'll be right back."

"Okay." Mordecai lies back down, "Thanks mom. You're the best."

'Anytime Mordy." she grinned at him before leaving the room.

As soon as Cecilia went downstairs, she told everyone about how she and Mordecai made up and they were all glad to hear it. William, Steve, and Maxine went to check up on Mordecai and even though he apologized for snapping at everyone, his family apologized because it was their fault for laughing in the first place.

Many hugs and more apologies later, Cecilia checked on her son again and got to talk with him before he finally fell asleep from exhaustion. She and everyone else left Mordecai alone for the night but not before confirming that he'll be in bed for about a week due to his sprained ankle and his cold. But Mordecai is actually glad because now he could spend time with his parents and make up for the awful day that had occurred earlier.

Once the others were in the kitchen and no one was looking Cecilia took the tape, broke it in half, and threw the broken pieces in the trash can. She learned a very powerful lesson that day: Embarrassment is one thing, but nothing is worth the risk of losing the love and trust of your own family.

Hope you all like it!
