Pops is sitting down by the creek. He takes a deep breath. "Oh, look. A squirrel." He sees a brown squirrel up on a branch. A butterfly flies over to give it an acorn, and the squirrel gnaws on it. It then bends over to the ground to drink some water provided by a fish in the creek. The squirrel then stretches out and starts taking a nap. Birds fly over it with a leaf in their beaks and they place it on the squirrel.

"I admire you, Mr. Squirrel. You're in perfect harmony with nature. I am also one with nature. In fact, I wrote a poem about being one with nature. Ahem." Pops places a blade of grass over his eyes. "A brow of grass," he places moss on his head. "And hair of moss. Puddles are my dipping sauce." Pops runs across the creek. "A petal, a wing, an arm or two, presenting a hug from me to you!" H prepares to hug the bush, but gets prickled by a thorn. "Oh!" Then a group of bees sting him. "Oooh!" Wind picks up and a branch hits him. He runs away from the bush while holding his head. He falls into the creek, where snapping turtles start biting him. "Oh why, nature? WHYYYYYYYYY?!!" (Poor Pops) "On the park house TV, a dude is shown surfing at the beach.

A surfer is on the shore at night. "Ahahaha, brah. You see Duke in that last wave, brah?" He asked. "Brah, I tried to pull out, brah." Duke said. "Dude, brah. You were just so deep in that barrel, I was like, "Brah!" The three surfers laugh. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are watching this. Mordecai and (Y/n) laugh while Rigby is eating chips. "Is that really how they talk?" Mordecai asked. "Tell me about it! They sound ridiculous!" (Y/n) said. "Haha, yeah. "Brah. Hey, brah. Sup, brah. Brah-brah-brah-brah-brah." Rigby mocks, and (Y/n) laughs. "Those waves were gnarly, brah!"

She joins in, and the trio laugh. "Haha, yeah. What a bunch of losers." Mordecai said. Rigby gobbles up the chip crumbs. "Dude, did you just eat the last of the chips, dude?" Mordecai asked. "Relax, dude. It was just crumbs." Rigby said. "Yeah, dude, but you ate the last of the chips before you ate the last of the crumbs, dude. When am I supposed to get my chip on?" Mordecai asked.

"Um, you realize that you dudes say dude all the time, right?" (Y/n) asked, raising an eyebrow. Mordecai and Rigby's eyes widen as they look at each other. "Oh she's right, we already say dude all the time dude!" Mordecai said. "You're right, dude!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) laughs. Pops walks in, crying from earlier. "Woah, Pops, what's wrong?" Mordecai asked. "Pops, are you okay?" (Y/n) asked in alarm, quickly running over to her friend and placing a paw on his right hand for comfort.

"Oh, I'm just having a bad day with nature, I suppose. You mind if I sit here with you guys for a while?" Pops asked. "Of course not." Mordecai said. "Yeah, take a loadoff." Rigby said. Pops sits down between Rigby and (Y/n). "Catching your first wave, it's just like, "Ahh"! I mean, I don't wanna sound like I'm bragging or whatever, but I really just feel sorry for dudes who can't ride waves. Cause you just pop up on that board, and you're just in it." He starts riding a surfboard with seagulls around him.

"Just totally one with nature." The surfer said. "Oh, boy!" Pops starts clapping. "That's what I have to do to be one with nature: surfing" at City Beach, Pops holds up a book as (Y/n) is beside him, she decided to join him just in case something bad happened. "Peachy Perry's 3 P's to Surfing Perfect" Pops opens the book. "The 3 P's are:" he watches a surfer. "Paddling, pivoting,

popping up! Seems easy enough." He starts paddling on his board. "Paddling." Sand flies on some dudes and dudettes. "Pivoting! Popping.." He tries to gets up but fails. Three surfers come over to him and (Y/n). "Haha. Gramps can't even get up on his board." Hurl said. "Salutations, fellows." Pops finally gets back up. "His name is Pops." (Y/n) said defensively. The surfers laugh. "What kind of stupid name is that?" Hurl asked. "What's your name?" Pops asked.

"Hurl Hurlbutt. And these are my associates, Murl and Burl." Hurl said, and (Y/n) bursts into laughter. "And you had the audacity to make fun of Pops' name with a name like that?" She asked in between laughs, and they all glare at her. "I'd watch my mouth if I were you." Hurl said. "Oh really? Is that because you're afraid of the truth that might come out of it?" (Y/n) asked. "(Y/n)!" Pops scolded. "Hey, we should call this guy Mondo Cabezo and his little friend pipsqueak." Hurl said.

"Well, I guess that makes you Mondo Ego." (Y/n) snapped. "(Y/n), stop!" Pops scolded. "Hey, Mondo Cabezo, can I rub your head for good luck?" Burl asked, and he and Pops laugh, and (Y/n)'s eyes widened. 'Why was he laughing? They were making fun of him!' (Y/n) thought angrily. She hated when people made fun of her friends like this. "Hey, Mondo! I think I can see your family on the water!" Hurl points to the round buoys. He and his friends laugh. "I am as mother nature made me, sir." Pops said.

"You surfer 'bros' better back off before you say something you'll regret!" (Y/n) snapped, mocking the word bros. hurl approaches her threateningly. "Oh yeah? What're you gonna do about it, pipsqueak?" He asked. "Gee, I don't know, but maybe I'll start with giving you guys some tips on better insults." (Y/n) snarked, and the duo sent death glares at each other. "Enough!" Pops shouted, surprising them, then stepping in front of (Y/n). "There is no need for this quarrel." Pops said. "If you say so, but Mother nature gave you the worst body for surfing ever, brah!" Hurl said.

Pops holds up a book. "Peachy says anybody can catch a wave with enough practice." He said. "Uh, yeah. Peachy's dead." Hurl snickers. The three surfers laugh at Pops and (Y/n) growls at them when they notice the other surfers going to catch a big wave. "Primo surf." The four grab their boards. "Whoo! Yeah!" They notice Pops and (Y/n). "Ugh, get outta here, Mondo and pipsqueak,

you're gonna harsh our ride!" Hurl said. "Then maybe we shouldn't leave!" (Y/n) shouted back. "No!" Pops groans and (Y/n) screams as the waves splash. "Paddle! Pivot!" Pops turns away from the wave. "Pop up!" Pops is dragged deeper into the wave and ends up knocking the three surfers off of their boards. Pops and (Y/n) are washed ashore, and Hurl and his friends are standing over them, glaring.

Pops nervously smiles and waves before grabbing (Y/n)'s right paw, screaming and running to Carmenita, flying off as all the surfers drive them away from the beach. Back at his house, Mordecai is with Rigby holding a tennis ball. Rigby chuckles. "Dude, quiet. I'm trying to focus." Mordecai said, moving the ball. He throws the ball onto the garage switch, causing the door to go down onto a perfectly placed pencil.

"Hahaha. Garage beats pencil." He said. They high five just as Pops and (Y/n) arrive. "(Y/n)! How'd surfing work out for you, Pops?" Rigby asked. "Hideous! Not only did I not become one with nature, but I made surfer enemies." Pops said, and (Y/n) nods. "Those guys were a bunch of jerks." She mumbles, crossing her arms. "Maybe it's better if you just forgot the whole surfing thing." Mordecai said.

"Yeah. Try sticking to lollipops and fanciness. Your comfort zone. I mean, look at me! I've never left my comfort zone, and I'm doing great!" Rigby said. "Plus, those jerk surfers basically proved they're not one with nature if they ran you two off the beach." Mordecai said. Pops shakes his head and puts on his hat. "Oh, Mordecai. I don't mean to offend your reasoning, but surfers are most certainly one with nature. The fine people who live inside the television do not lie." He said.

"Uhh, no offense taken, but maybe you can at least take a break from the other surfers for a while, until you get the hang of it." Mordecai said. "Yeah, you're rich. Why don't you just build a beach here at the park?" Rigby asked. "You mean like that one Phineas and Ferb episode?" (Y/n) asked, and Rigby snaps his fingers and points at her. "Exactly!" He said. "Oooh, Rigby, that's brilliant!" Pops claps his hands. "And you, (Y/n) and Mordecai can import dolphins for atmosphere!" Pops said. "Ok..." Mordecai scratches his chin. "Or maybe just a wave machine for the lake?" He asked.

At the park lakefront, the Wavy Train has been called. "Wave on!" The guy cranks the newly added wave machine up, causing the waves to build. Pops begins paddling and laughs. "Watch, this everyone!" He turns the board around as he draws into the wave. "You think this is gonna work?" Mordecai asked. Pops starts to pop up, (lol, get it?) but is too late as he is tumbling over the wave. He splashes in.

He swims back over to his board and waves to the guys. When he tries to hop back on, he struggles around. "Lookin' good, Pops!" Rigby turns to his best friends. "Yeah, this is never gonna work." Pops has faced away from the wave again. He goes over the wave and drowns underneath, where he get sucked into a pipe.

This blocks the water from the machine. "Uh-oh." Mordecai said. "Pops!" (Y/n) shouted. Later Pops is in his room with Dr. Henry and Benson with the gang. "So you were saying Pops was surfing out on the park lake?" Dr. Henry asked. "Yes. He, uh, wanted to be one with nature or something, I don't know." Benson said. "Well, we can't have that." Dr. Henry walks over to Pops' x-ray. "Just look at tis x-ray.

Jumping to a standing position, with a head of this size, put too much strain on the feeble spine. Like trying to hold a bowling ball on a stick of angel hair pasta. Pops, I have to recommend that you stay on land." Dr. Henry said. "But...but I'll never become one with nature on land!" Pops said. "Let me put this in terms you'll understand." Dr. Henry pulls out a lollipop from his pocket. "This is your body. And this is your body on surfing." He cracks the lollipop. "Any questions?" The doctor asked. "Jesus..." (Y/n) mumbled. "Well, I thank you for your medical opinion, Dr. Henry, but I intend to keep chasing said waves until I chase one down and then ride it!" Pops said.

Time Skip

"But I'm trusting you guys to keep him off that board until morning." Dr. Henry said. "Don't worry, we'll stay up all night and guard the door." Mordecai said. "Yeah, he'll never make it past our security team." Rigby said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby place chairs on either side of the door and sit on them with their arms folded. "Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm!" A split second later, the duo fall asleep, and (Y/n) is missing. Back to the park lake,

Pops has somehow escaped outside to try surfing again and (Y/n) quickly catches up to him on her own board. "POPS!" She shouted, she startles him and he quickly turns around. "(Y/n)?! What- what're..." "I knew you'd try and sneak out! You can't be surfing right now! Now come on! We're going home!" She shouted. When Pops pivots from the wave, he sees Hurl Hurlbutt coming through and (Y/n) notices them too and groans. "Oh great, not these losers..."

"Alright! Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Ahahaha!" The other two surfer friends are there with him. "You were right about the sweet break at this place, brah." Pops stumbles over the wave like before. He rides back around the wave and the surfers. "No chop no sharks.." He spots Pops. "Ahh! How'd Mondo Cabezo find out about our wave, brah?" He then turns and spots (Y/n). "And the pipsqueak is here too!" Pops gets back on his board. "This is my wave." Pops said.

Back at the house, Mordecai wakes up from sleeping. He notices Rigby drooling and screams. Rigby wakes up. "What?" They get up. "We fell asleep?!" Mordecai asked. Rigby quickly looks around. "Where's (Y/n)?!" He asked. Mordecai opens the door to Pops' room. "Dude, there's no way he got past us. Plus his head is too big to fit through the win-" It's revealed that Pops sawed a big hole in the wall. Mordecai and Rigby scream at this, scream at each other, and run out. Back on the lake, Hurl and the surfers are harassing Pops, surfing around him. "Get off our wave, Mondo!" Pops falls off his board, his head in the bottom.

"POPS!" (Y/n) shouted. She quickly goes over to try and help him. The other groundskeepers are at the scene with Mordecai and Rigby. "What's going on?" Benson asked. "Pops and (Y/n) are in trouble!" Mordecai shouted. "To the lake boats!" Benson shouted. They run to get them while the surfers keep surfing at Pops and (Y/n, with (Y/n) doing her best to fend them off. "Hey! Get away from him!" She shouted. The groundskeepers are rowing the boats towards the surfers. "(Y/n)!" Thomas shouted. "Brace, brahs!" The surfers get knocked off their boards and bashed on their heads with oars. The groundskeepers cheer as they swim off to land.

"Hurl! We gotta call for reinforcements!" Murl said. "Let us perform the ancient call of the surfers." The three surfers grab bongos from their van. Hurl laughs gleefully. "Wipeout." They play the call on their bongos, and Murl then points a signal in the sky. Random vehicles with dudes and dudettes in them, along with a band arrive at the park lake. They get out of their vehicles, hop on their boards and get in. Thomas quickly grabs (Y/n) from her board and puts him onto his boat, before sending a glare at the surfers and trying to fend them off. Two surfers get into the lake windsurfing. Skips begins fighting them.

"There's too many of 'em!" Skips shouted. The park workers start getting trampled by the surfers, and knocked into the water. Pops follows the surfers as they approach the wave. "Pops, no!" All of his friends shouted. "Time to crank this baby up to 11." Hurls cranks the wave machine up, causing the wave to rise up and push all the surfers, except Pops, off board. "Pivot, pop- ooh!" Pops said. "We gotta help Pops!" Benson said. The park workers swim off to stop the 3 surfers, while Pops is hanging onto his board for dear life, whimpering. "Mondo?! Get him off there." Murl and Burl surf off to Pops. "Pops, look out!" (Y/n) shouted. "Pop... up...." The two surfers begin to try and knock Pops off his board, while Hurl is laughing. "Hey!" Mordecai shouted. "Knock it off!" (Y/n) snapped.

"Hand it over!" Benson shouted. Hurl immediately cranks the machine "Gnarly to the MAX" when Mordecai punches him in the face, causing him to drop the control and fall off, crushing it in the process. This in turn causes the wave machine to explode, knocking the park workers away. The wave gathers up all the water and rises up, and Murl and Burl fall off. The water shoots up into the sky,

and comes back down, emerging as an ultimate wave, Pops being the only surfer on it. The wave rushes towards the park workers and the surfers. The dudes and dudettes run for their lives. "The ultimate wave!" Murl shouted. He and Burl proceed to ride it, but Hurl stops them. "No brahs, it's suicide to ride that wave. Let Mondo have this one." Pops screams and desperately holds on. "Pops! Hold on!" (Y/n) shouted. "If you wipe out, you'll die!" Mordecai shouted.

The park workers and the 3 surfers run off screaming as the wave draws in even closer. "Pop up, Pops! Ride the wave, Pops! But, but I'm so afraid! Afraid of those rufians, afraid of my body failing, but mostly I'm...I'm afraid of you, nature! Why have you been so mean to me? Well, whether you like it or not, I'm gonna ride this wave!" Pops finally pops up on his surfboard and laughs joyfully. The park workers cheer him on. He continues to dance and laugh. "Finally! I'm one with nature!" He begins to glow. "No way!" Hurl said. As Pops continues to surf on the ultimate wave,

he is joined by a flock of seagulls. A sun shines over the wave, a rainbow appearing. A shadowy figure is seen in the wave, revealing itself under Pops to be a humpback whale. "Pops...You have passed the test. You are one with nature once more." The humpback whale said. "Let's never fight again! Ooh!" Pops said. The whale shoots water out of its spout, sending Pops really high, spinning while surfing. Four dolphins rise out of the wave.

Hurl and his friends are standing on the van watching the nature scene. "Man, this was a bust. Let's go get some fish tacos." He said. Before they can leave, the four dolphins crush them. The park workers are stunned at what they are seeing. "Do you think he'll ever be back?" Mordecai asked. "He's with nature now, Mordecai. He's with nature." Benson wipes tears from his eyes. Pops continues to laugh as he surfs off through the city with the seagulls, while unknowingly leaving it wrecked. "He'll be back." (Y/n) said.
