"Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man! Guys, check it out! I found it in the trash in the back. Isn't it cool?" Rigby asked. Rigby brings a cracked plate decorated with a face and words SIMON KIPNER GODFATHER OF THE SOUL PATCH. "Dude, you gotta stop pulling stuff out of the trash. It's unnatural." Mordecai said. "Not to mention disturbing." (Y/n) said. "You're unnatural!" Rigby said,

ignoring (Y/n)'s comment. "Besides, this is different. It's a treasure from the past." He said. "It is a pretty sweet plate." Mordecai said. "We should put some food on this baby!" Rigby said. "Hmm, hmm. Agreed. You know what would look great on this plate? Chocolate cake!" (Y/n) said, and Rigby gasps. "Chocolate cake! You're a genius, (Y/n)!" Rigby said. "But how can we afford something as good as chocolate cake?" Rigby asked her. "Don't worry. I think I know where we can get one." (Y/n) said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are at the grocery store.

"Check it, guys. Cake mix. Add some water, slap it in the oven, pull that greasy pig out and BAM! You've got yourself a cake." Mordecai said as he grabs the cake mix. "I can't wait to eat that greasy pig. Wait, how much does it cost?" Rigby asked. (Y/n) looks at the box. "A buck fifty." She said. "Aaaargh!" The trio said. "I told you cake mix is too expensive." Rigby said. The trio soon try to go to a wedding. "Do you know the bride or the groom?" The doorman asked. "Uhhh.." Mordecai and Rigby said, and (Y/n) face palms. "The one with the cake?" Mordecai asked.

The doorman shuts the door. "Ugghhh!!" Mordecai and Rigby groan. "The one with the cake? Really? You couldn't have guessed an actual name?" (Y/n) asked in disbelief, and Mordecai glares at her. "You got any better ideas?" He asked. "Well..." she said. The trio go to the free store. "Yeah, we don't have cakes." The cashier said, and the trio groan again. "Yeah, great idea, (Y/n). Of course they're gonna have cake at the free store." Rigby said sarcastically. "Hey, at least my idea was better than breaking into a wedding for it." She snapped. Mordecai sighs.

"Well, I'm all out of ideas." He said. "Ooh! I got it! There's that chocolate cake at the snack bar!" Rigby said. "Uh Rigby, did you forget that Benson will only let you have it for free if it's your birthday?" (Y/n) asked. "Who's to say it's not my birthday?" Rigby asked. "Who's to say it's not my birthday?" Mordecai asked, and (Y/n) scoffs. "Good luck with this little scheme of yours." She said. "Free cake! Free cake!" The two said. "It's neither of your birthdays." Benson said. "Well, it could be (Y/n)'s." Rigby said. "And I know it's not hers either." Benson said. "Aw, man! He's killing us with that!" Rigby said.

"No cake. No cake." The two said sadly, and (Y/n) rolls her eyes. "But it is Skips' birthday." Pops said. (Y/n)'s eyes widened. "Wait, really?" She asked. "Free cake! Free cake!" Mordecai & Rigby said. "But he's really private about it." Benson said. "No cake. No cake." Mordecai & Rigby said sadly again. "Come to think of it, I don't think we've ever had a party for Skips." Benson said. "If memory serves, Skips secludes himself in the woods every year on the day of his birth." Pops said. "So, wait? You guys have never thrown a party for Skips?" (Y/n) asked.

"No." Benson said. "Dude, that sucks. Skips totally deserves a party." (Y/n) said. "And cake." Rigby interrupts her. "Whenever something goes wrong, it's Skips who fixes it. He's always there for us, no matter what. I bet Skips wants a party, but he's such a quiet guy he doesn't know how to ask. We owe him a party." (Y/n) said. "And also a cake." Rigby adds. "Woo! Good show, jolly good show! Benson, a soiree for Skips, what a crackerjack idea!" Pops said. "You're right. Fine. If you three get Skips on board, we'll throw a party for him." Benson said. "Oh, we know how to get him on board." Mordecai said. Later back at their house... "Okay. How will we get him on board?" He asked. "I thought you said you knew how." (Y/n) said. "He was lying, (Y/n). Oh, I know! Let's get a van." Rigby said.

~Rigby's imagination~

(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby throw an unconscious Dream Skips into a van. "Happy birthday, Skips." Rigby said.

~Reality~

"BAM! Free cake!" Rigby said. "Rigby, that's kidnapping, you idiot. You want to go to jail?" She asked him. "But we can't just tell him. You heard Benson, Skips isn't into this stuff." Rigby points out. "I know, but dude, Skips is cool. We should just go and tell him we gonna throw him a party." Mordecai said. "Argh, laaaame!" Rigby said. "What? What's wrong with that?" Mordecai asked. "Two things: one, no surprise, and two, no vans." Rigby said. "What is it with you and the vans?" (Y/n) asked,

but then she gasps. "Wait, that's it!" She said. "What, vans?" Rigby asked. "No, Surprise. Dude, we should throw Skips a surprise party!" (Y/n) said. "Dude, that's perfect!" Rigby said. "Yeah, and no one can say NO to a surprise party." Mordecai said. "'Cause they can't." Rigby said. "Free cake! Free cake!" Mordecai and Rigby said. "No, I don't wanna hang out with you guys at 8 o'clock tonight." Skips said as the trio later tried to convince him to hang out. "Well, then... How about later tonight?" (Y/n) asked.

"No! I wanna be left alone!" Skips shouted. "Argh, man. What should we do now?" Mordecai asked. "Dudes, Check it. We'll just lie to Benson and get the cake first, and figure out the Skips part later." Rigby said. "Hmm, hmm. Sounds like a cake worthy idea to me." Mordecai said. "Free cake! Free cake!" The two shouted. "Skips totally wants a birthday party." Mordecai said to Benson later on. "Really? How did you convince him?" Benson asked. "We told him there's gonna be cake." Mordecai said. "Yeah, he wants an extra-large chocolate one." Rigby said. "Really?" Benson asked. "Yeah. 8:00. His place." Mordecai said. "But he wants it to be a surprise, so if you see him, don't say anything." Rigby said, and (Y/n) punches him.

"Ow!" He glares at her. "Okay. Here's the key to the cake in the snack bar. I guess I'll see you at 8. But if you morons are lying to me, you'll be on dish duty for the next month!!" Benson said. "We did it!" Mordecai said. "Let's eat it!" Rigby said. "No! You heard Benson. Do you boys wanna be on dish duty?" (Y/n) asked her best friends. "Arghhhhhhh, fine. We'll do dish duty." Rigby said. "No, dude. We have to get Skips." (Y/n) said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby walk through the woods. Rigby carries the cake. "Are you sure Skips is even here?" Rigby asked. "Pops said Skips secludes himself in the woods. Where else should we look?" (Y/n) asked.

Rigby's stomach rumbles. "Don't touch that cake." (Y/n) warned. "It's a medical emergency." Rigby said. "You just ate a sandwich." Mordecai said. "Are you a doctor now? Did you go to medical school in the past 5 minutes?" Rigby snapped. "We're saving it for the party, and that's THAT." (Y/n) takes the cake from Rigby. Meanwhile at Skip's... "Do you see them?" Benson asked. "Not yet." Pops said. "Hit the lights. It's almost 8 p.m." Benson said. "Whooooo! Skips is gonna be so surprised when he comes in and sees us totally naked." Muscle Man said. "It's not that kind of party, Muscle Man." Benson said. "Ohhhh... Don't turn on the lights." He replied.

In the woods...

"No. Benson's gonna get pissed, so we shouldn't." Mordecai said. "Benson's gonna get like that no matter what." Rigby grabs the cake from (Y/n). "Better to have no regrets." He said. "Dude! No!" (Y/n) grabs the cake back. Rigby jumps on her trying to get the cake. "RIGBY! GET OFF!" (Y/n) throws Rigby off and tries to run away with the cake, but Rigby gets her. "Guys, stop it!" Mordecai shouted. They fight over the cake. "Dude! Quit it! You're ruining the cake!" A mysterious sound is heard. "Wait. What's that? Sounds like some kind of weird Aztec ritual..." (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby stop fighting. While (Y/n) was puzzling over the sound Rigby sneakily obtained the cake. "I think it's coming from over there. We should go to check it out." (Y/n) said.

"That's funny. Usually, if there's a strange noise in the woods, you don't check it out. Mordecai? (Y/n)?" Rigby asked. They see Skips singing and jumping around a blue-colored bonfire with a big rattle. "What's Skips doing?" Rigby asked. "I don't know. But it looks kind of important. Maybe we should leave him alone." Mordecai said. "What about the cake?" Rigby asked. "Would you forget about the cake for a minute? Rigby!" (Y/n) shouted after him as Rigby interrupts Skips.

"You're coming with us, Skips!" He said. "What are you doing?!?" The bonfire goes out. "Fools! You interrupted my spirit dance! You don't realize what you've done!" Skips shouted. A white Chevy El Camino lands near them. "Skips. You have broken the pact with the Guardians of Youth." He said. "Gary, You don't have to do this!" Skips shouted. "Listen. I'm just doing my job." Gary said. They both teleport into the pickup. "Wait! Where are you taking him?" Mordecai asked. "I'm only the chauffeur." The pickup leaves. "Guys, I think we just screwed Skips!" (Y/n) shouted.

"And ourselves! No Skips, no cake!" Rigby shouted. "Come on. We better follow him." Mordecai said. The trio jump into the trunk. The pickup arrives onto a sandy island in the space. "Whoa, What the..." (Y/n) said. "Dudes. What's with the babies?" Rigby asked. "Ugh. This reminds me of Boss Baby." (Y/n) said. "We've got to get Skips back to the park." Rigby said. "Shh! Shut up!" Mordecai said. "Guardians of Eternal Youth. I have brought you the condemned." Gary said. "Skips. You have failed to complete the Spirit Dance. And thus the pact you made with us for eternal youth has been broken. Now you shall shrivel into dust and disappear, forever." He said.

The Guardians of Eternal Youth blast Skips with energy beams. Skips turns very old and collapses to the ground. "SKIPS!!!!!" The trio shouted. Skips starts crumbling to dust. "Wait! This isn't fair!" (Y/n) shouted desperately. "What's done is done." The guardian said. "But this is our fault! We interrupted the dance before he could finish!" Mordecai said. "Yeah, man. Let him finish that dance thing!" Rigby shouted. "The decision of the Guardians cannot be overturned." The guardian said. Skips continues crumbling to dust. "SKIPS!!!!!" The trio shouted again.

"We're sorry, Skips." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, we're sorry." Rigby said. Mordecai sniffles. "We just wanted to throw you a surprise party." He said. "Yeah. It was going to be really cool. We were gonna eat cake..." Rigby said. "Cake? Did someone say cake?" The guardian asked. "No. There's no cake." Rigby said quickly. "Wait, brothers. I smell cake. Do you smell it as well?" The guardian asked. "I smell cake." "As do I! Cake! Cake!" "Wait. You guys like cake?" Mordecai asked. "Yes! Yes! We love it!" The guardian said.

"Give me the cake, Rigby." (Y/n) said. "No way!" Rigby said. (Y/n) grabs the cake from Rigby. "So, you're telling me you like cake?" She asked. "The chipmunk has cake. Cake. Give us the cake!" The guardian said. "Nah, The cake is for Skips." She said. "(Y/n), what are you doing?" Rigby asked. "Dude. Do you want Skips to die on his birthday?" Mordecai asked. Skips is almost dead. "Alright." Rigby said. "Do we have a deal?" (Y/n) asked. Guardians of Youth decide to debate a situation. "What flavor is it?" "Chocolate." Mordecai said. "We have reached a new decision. We will restore Skips' youth in exchange, for your cake." The guardian said. (Y/n) puts the cake on the ground. "Now change him back!" She demanded. "Done!"

Skips returns back to normal. Guardians of Youth start smearing themselves with the cake. "Aw, what? They are not even eating it! They're just smushing it on their faces!" Rigby said in disappointment. "Be gone with you." (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Skips disappear and materialize at Skips' place. "Surprise!" Benson, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost shouted. "Let the merry making commence!" Pops said, he laughs. "You guys almost killed me for some cake?" Skips asked the trio. "Hey, Skips. We've got you a birthday present."

Rigby gives Skips the plate he found in a trash. "It says: SKIPS --- GODFATHER OF SOUL." Rigby said. "No one's ever thrown me a birthday party before. Thanks." Skips said. "So, where's the cake?" Benson asked. "Ahh, cake?" Mordecai said. "I don't remember anything about cake." Rigby said. "Me neither." Mordecai said. "Must be a misunderstanding." Rigby said.

"Oh, The cake from the snack bar." Mordecai said. "You wanted that cake for this party?" Rigby asked. "Ha-ha-ha! Oh, man! I mean what a mix-up, right?" Mordecai asked. "The important thing is we are all together." Rigby said. "Argh. I knew I couldn't trust you idiots. You're lucky Pops brought a spare. Happy birthday, Skips." Benson said. "Ha-ha! Yes! Finally!" Mordecai takes a piece of the cake. "Argh, Vanilla...?" He groans.
