Okay, first I just want to say thanks to all the reviews I've gotten for this fic and hope to receive more. Now to answer a person's question about why didn't the main characters just go back in time to stop Rigby from forging Mordecai' rejection letter; well it did seem like a good, more reasonable idea, and from what I've seen of the Timenado in the actual movie, it's possible that it could take them back in time. I originally considered time travelling back when Rigby tried to fake Mordecai's rejection letter. Though it didn't stick with me as I continued writing; plus I just wanted one final battle to end it all. Also maintaining Mordecai and Rigby's friendship wouldn't have prevented Mr. Ross from going insane. Though your review, as well as everyone else's, is a very insightful and I appreciate it. For that I thank you.

But anyway, Ross is dead, Mordecai and Rigby's friendship is restored, and time itself is saved. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the final part of Regular Show: A Different Direction in Time.


Regular Show: A Different Direction in Time

Epilogue

When word spread that the universe, along with everything else in existence was just saved from a mad scientist, it'd be assumed that parades and other kinds of celebrations would be held to honour those involved in the saving part. Instead, however, the government just covered it all up. They did this because one: the mad scientist responsible was a world-famed hero. Two: he did it all on government funding without anyone truly realizing what was going on. And three: because those who saved the day were non-military soldiers without any training or unaffiliated with the world governments. All this would've made the governments look bad and cause some major, unneeded problems.

As such, all world leaders agreed to cover up the whole incident; saying how Ross had been driven mad during a failed experiment. Resulting in the deaths of himself, his assistant, Thomas, and everyone else who worked at his top-secret laboratory where the experiment occurred at.

Fortunately for Earth's leaders, they were able to provide video evidence provided by Margret to cover up the Timenado thing. Though it had to be edited first, the "modified" proof convinced the world population of Ross's madness. Though despite being insane, Ross was mourned by billions and remembered as one of the greatest scientists in world history for unlocking the secret to time travel.

California, however, along with those who'd defeated Ross and destroyed the Timenado was a completely different story. It couldn't be expected that they would just hide something like the Timenado from a population who'd not only saw the giant tornado in the sky but also saw live video feed from Margret herself of what actually happened. For those reasons, the United Nation had to negotiate a deal with the entire city, and the Hero Group in order to keep their mouths shut.

In exchange for keeping being quiet about the whole ordeal, the United Nations agreed to reward each member of the Hero Group with something very special that they wanted. This includes, but not limited to, the following things, listed below and who contains received them.

Mordecai was given a brand new, mechanical arm to replace the one he lost to Ross.

Rigby received his high school diploma.

Margret's dad was given a surgery performed by the best surgeon doctor in the world so that the helicopter pilot would be restored to peak, physical condition.

-A law was passed that prevented anyone from even putting a scratch on Sherm's prized car.

-Muscle Man got a book containing all his My Mom jokes published and distributed throughout the entire world.

-High Fives got his own private jet that he could use to visit his always-on-the-go girlfriend, Celia, anytime, anywhere.

-Pops got his very own butterfly sanctuary that he had built at the park.

-Skips was allowed to keep the Speeds Cannon as he'd grown quite fond of it during the whole ordeal with the Timenado.

-The coffee shop got rebuilt and Eileen was promoted to manager of the place. Plus she received extra credits for correctly determining the Timenado's weakness.

-Uncle Steve received enough money so that he could retire and never work again.

-Mordecai's parents, William and Hilary, were given a summer home in Nova Scotia, Canada.

-Principal Dean got promoted to his dream job as Superintendent of New York City. Allowing him to be far, far from Rigby.

-Mini-golf was officially put into the Olympics with Carl being the US's representative in the sport.

-Don got his accounting firm a contract with the UN, which also got him promoted to partner of the firm.

-Benson got promoted to executive manager of the park, giving him full control over the place and its secret, underground armoury.

-Mr. Maellard received compensation for all the damage his park went through because of the whole ordeal. As well as for all the weapons and ships that were used to destroy the Timenado.

-CJ managed to get dodgeball into the Olympics.

They along with everyone else in Hero Group received something their hearts truly desired, but that wasn't all. Along with this, the United Nations agreed to give all citizens of California a five hundred dollar tax refund to keep them all quiet about the ordeal; as well as promise them to have the world militaries better prepared in the event that another famous hero turned evil and tried to destroy everything as Ross had.

Though all this cost the world governments a fortune, in the end, it was worth it, given how time itself was saved so everyone lived to make another dollar, another day.

After negotiations were finished, the Hero Group decided to redo the wedding that Ross's Timenado had been interrupted.


A couple of months later...

Finally, the day of the redo wedding had arrived, after repairs to the park were finished, and preparations to redo the whole ceremony, (along with both the bachelorette and bachelor parties), were made. Everyone was set for Mordecai and CJ's big moment together. Again. Of course, some changes had to be made after what happened during the first wedding, such as a certain raccoon becoming the groom's best man request. Also, the groom needed some time to get his new arm attached, (which he named Yoshimoto), and for him to get adjusted to it.

"And now," the priest said before all those gathered for the second attempt to bind Mordecai and CJ in holy matrimony, "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Lifting the veil over his new wife's head, revealing her wonderful, glorious, happy face, Mordecai leaned in towards CJ, this time managing to press his lips onto hers as they officialized their marriage.

Everyone surrounding them burst into thunders of applause as they joyfully watched the newlyweds enjoy their perfect moment, without any interruptions whatsoever.


Following the kiss, the cake and dancing came next, which eventually led to everyone going outside towards the crash pit for the grand finale courtesy of Muscle Man and High Fives.

As they waited, Rigby walked over to Mordecai and started asking him questions, "So where are you and the new Mrs. - Putter going to do next?"

-FYI, the – before Putter still represents Mordecai's last name.-

"Well CJ and I are heading off to Bora Bora tomorrow for our, two-week-long, honeymoon," Mordecai revealed.

"Bora Bora, are you serious?" Rigby asked. He didn't know much about the place, just that Mr. Maellard referred to the place as Bora Boring one time. "He did actually say that in the show."

"Yeah CJ's been wanting to try surfing for some time and what better place to do so than a beautiful beach. Besides it's a very romantic place, we even have a honeymoon suite. Plus we're planning on going to be this big videogame convention that'll be happening there."

"Sweet," Rigby commented.

"Yeah I know," Mordecai agreed. "After that, we'll be coming back to town," Mordecai went on. "CJ's gotta start training the Thunder Girls for the Olympics, and I have to get working on some new art pieces for the park's new art gallery."

"What art gallery?" Rigby asked puzzled.

"The one that Benson's setting up in order to cover up the fact that there's a massive arsenal of highly advanced weapons hidden under the park. Apparently, it makes visitors nervous when coming here so Benson thought that an art gallery comprised of pieces from current/famous artists like myself will make them feel safer and more relaxed. Anyway, Benson offered me my own exhibit in the new gallery so I said yes because the park is paying for my art, and it gives you and me a chance to make up for lost times."

"Wow, that's awesome!" Rigby said enthusiastically.

"I know. But enough about me," Mordecai said, moving on. "What about you? Any plans now that you're a high school graduate? College? Perhaps get a new, non-dead-end job? Maybe move in with Eileen?" the last part he asked teasingly which worked in embarrassing Rigby a little bit.

"Wha…uh…NO!" Rigby spluttered. "Besides Eileen and I have only been dating for two months now. We're not ready for that sort of commitment."

Yep, Rigby and Eileen are officially a couple now. After watching him demonstrate his ability to mature when he apologized to Mordecai on the chopper, Eileen finally got the guts to ask out the raccoon, who, (having a mutual crush on the mole girl), agreed.

"Okay, makes sense. What about your future though. I mean you've been given a second chance and I know how much you wanna do things in your life besides raking leaves."

"Sigh, I don't know," Rigby admitted. "I mean despite getting my high school diploma, no college will accept me; not even the online ones. Apparently forging a fake rejection letter from a college leaves a mark on you that colleges don't like, nor does it ever go away. And top that off, all the cool jobs other than the military, (which I got enough of when we took down Ross), require college degrees which I can't get if I can't get into college."

"Hmm…well if you're interested, I know this guy named Zaxon," Mordecai revealed. Handing Rigby a business card with Zaxon's name and phone number on it.

"He's kind of like you, having only a high school diploma, not getting into college, being called a failure for most of his life. He even had this dead-end job as a janitor at Tendindo, the videogame company," Mordecai explained.

"Could you get to the point," fumed Rigby.

"He quit his janitor job years and invented this virtual program that allows people to make their own videogames with their minds," Mordecai explained.

"Wow, that sounds awesome?" Rigby commented excitedly.

"It does. But most people don't believe it works, given Zaxon's background. So he hasn't been able to get a lot of customers," Mordecai admitted. "Because of this, he's been looking towards hiring people to use their minds and his program to make help videogames to sell to the general public while showing the world that ZIPGIDZ, (the name of his video game program), can easily make any sort of videogame. He says he promises to split all profits of each game fifty-fifty with whoever helps design them and give the designer free copies of the games he makes. I thought that given how you love video games so much, that working with Zaxon could help lead you to a future in the videogame industry, or at the very least allow you to earn some extra cash while making things you enjoy. So what do you think?"

If Rigby had to be truly honest with Mordecai, this was probably, "The coolest offer I've ever gotten," he said less than a second after Mordecai finished speaking. "I mean design my own videogames with my mind?! That all-out awesome!"

"Glad you think so," grinned Mordecai.

"Oh you have no idea," Rigby said enthusiastically. "Thanks for by the way. This is so AWESOME! I can't believe I'm gonna create my own videogames."

"No prob dude," Mordecai said.

"Well it's definitely a nice change seeing you two not fight," CJ suddenly called out as she, Eileen and Margret made their way over to the two friends. Once they reached them, CJ her wrapped her arm around Mordecai's, (the new arm), and kissed him on the lips.

"So what sort of big stunt are Muscle Man and High Fives doing exactly?" Rigby asked as soon as the newlyweds finished kissing. "And why's it taking so long?"

-Yeah, because he hadn't been there when Mordecai and CJ requested that Muscle Man and Fives do a special, after wedding crash, Rigby didn't find out about it till everyone went outside to the massive hole just a few minutes ago.-

But before anyone could answer Rigby's question, however, the sound of a car filled everyone's ears. Looking around everyone quickly saw that the car they heard was a solid gold sports car that Mordecai and CJ recognized, all too well, as having belonged to the late Dr. Adrian Pimento Ross before the mad scientists' death. On top of that, the car was being driven by Muscle Man, with Fives riding shotgun.

"HELLO LADIES AND DUDES!" Muscle Man said, his voice amplified by the megaphone he was using. "THIS CRASH IS FOR OUR CELEBRITY NEWLYWEDS, MORDECAI AND CJ – PUTTER! SO PLEASE GIVE THEM THE CHEER THEY DESERVE BITCHES! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Following his command, everyone in the crowd gave the celebrity newlyweds a big round of applause, which in turn, caused said couple to blush.

Once the applause died down, Muscle Man rammed the gold cars at full power, straight towards the overly large hole. Only when the car began to fall into the pit did Muscle Man and Fives jump out, making it to safety just as the car crashed and exploded; resulting in both fireworks and drops of cherry soda to pour out of the crash pit.

A new round of cheers began immediately afterwards with a few members of the crowd sticking their tongues out to get samples of the falling soda drops, including Mordecai, CJ, Rigby and Eileen.

As they continued to watch the show in awe, the two best bros, Mordecai and Rigby, could only say one word simultaneously that described what they were seeing at this moment.

"Awesome!"

THE END!


And there you have it. Regular Show: A Different Direction in Time is over. I have to say I really enjoyed writing the fanfic. It was nice to give Mordecai the life he was originally cheated out of for so many years. Plus despite how much I hate Rigby, it was nice to have him redeemed himself so that he can enjoy a good life as well. Besides, I made sure he got a taste of his own medicine and force him to learn his lesson.

A tremendous thanks to all those who viewed, favourited, followed, and reviewed this fanfic. It really makes me feel great knowing how much my stories are liked. Please feel free to leave any more reviews you have on the fanfic as well let me know which chapter was your favourite.

Also, with this fanfic done, I'll be moving back to my older fanfic, Danny Skywalker, with some serious changes being made to the current chapters.

And finally, farewell, Happy Easter, and keep it cool. Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
