Mordecai sighed as he and his best friend Rigby headed for the Coffee Shop, their feet hitting the cement silently. Benson and Skips had convinced him that he should go tell Margaret how he felt. But he was so nervous, his feathers were drenched with sweat and his eyes were darting back and forth. Maybe he shouldn't go. Margaret was engaged. Telling her how he felt would be wrong, wouldn't it?

"Are you ready?" Rigby asked the tall blue jay, a smile on his face.

"I guess so..." Mordecai said silently, more to himself than to Rigby.

"Don't worry. If you pass out or have a heart attack or something, I'll call an ambulance."

Mordecai didn't even try to retort this time. "Thanks."

Across the street, three girls were exiting a clothing store. Two of them were human, a blond and a brunette. The third was a cloud humanoid in an orange-and-white tank top, khaki shorts, and black ankle boots. She had her cloudy hair in a ponytail. Her name was 'Cloudy Jane,' but she went by CJ. "So then he asked me to the movies." She finished telling the story to her two friends. "It was awkward, but cute, you know?"

The three girls laughed together. When CJ opened her eyes again, she saw a familiar blue jay and a raccoon on the other side of the street. She gasped and pointed. "That's him!" CJ waved to her friends and walked across the road. "I'm going to go say hi real quick."

As they came to the steps to the Coffee Shop, Mordecai took a deep breath. "OK. I'm going to go in, say hi, tell her how I feel, and then it'll all be OK. Simple as that, right?"

"Yeah." Rigby nodded, still smiling. "Unless you puke or something."

"Not cool, man."

"Hey, Mordecai!"

Mordecai and Rigby turned to the sound of the blue jay's name. CJ was walking across the road and stopped in front of the two of them. "Hey!"

"Oh! Hey, CJ!" Mordecai beamed widely at the cloudy humanoid.

"You going in for a drink?" CJ pointed up at the large 'COFFEE SHOP' sign, the brown wood bright in the sun.

"Oh, what?" Mordecai took a moment to glance up at the sign before shaking his head. "Oh, no. I'm going to go tell Marg-"

Rigby kicked his shin. Mordecai grabbed his foot with a yelp as CJ's eyes widened. "What'd you do that for?"

Rigby pulled Mordecai down to whisper to him. "You can't tell CJ you're about to go tell another girl how you feel like that! It'll crush her flat!"

"Then what do I tell her?"

"Break it to her easy."

Mordecai looked back up at a confused CJ. He began to sweat. He had to think of something. Something fast. "I'm a...I was...um..." He glanced between the Coffee Shop door, a waiting CJ, and a prompting Rigby. "I...was looking for you!"

"You were?" CJ and Rigby said at the same time. CJ more happily, Rigby more annoyed.

"Yeah!" Mordecai's smile became plastered. "I was going to see if you were still on for Love Bot 2 tonight."

"Of course I am!" CJ beamed and looked back at her friends as they were still waiting. "Well, I got to go. Bye, Mordecai!"

"Bye, CJ!" Mordecai waved her goodbye. He looked down, still smiling, but frowned when he saw that Rigby was glaring at him. "What?"

Rigby folded his furry arms. "Dude."

"I'm sorry, OK, man?" Mordecai said angrily, more at himself. "What was I supposed to say? 'I'm about to go tell Margaret how I feel?'"

"Tell me what you feel about what?"

Mordecai let out a small scream and span around to see Margaret right behind him, smiling as usual. "Oh! Hi, Margaret!"

"What did you want to tell me?" Margaret inquired, her smile fading ever-so-slightly.

"Uh...I...um...I..." A pool of sweat was forming at Mordecai's feet. "I...wanted to tell you...how I felt..." He glanced down at Rigby, who was prodding his hands at him. "About...The weather! It's really nice, sunny, cloudy, warm." He chuckled nervously, and Margaret looked confused.

There was a long, confused silence.

"OK, bye." Mordecai ran down the street back in the direction of the Park.

Margaret looked down at Rigby. "What was that all about?"

Rigby shrugged. "I have no idea."
