Muscle Man is in his car on his way to Starla's eating a bag of chips and listening to rock music. He almost passes by her apartment but he backs up the car. He rings the doorbell and quickly licks the chip crumbs off his shirt. Starla opens the door. "MITCH!" She shouted. "Hey, babe! Ready for our date?" Muscle Man asked. "I sure am!" They kiss. "You look lovely tonight, Starla." Muscle Man said. "And you look... uhhh..." Starla notices Muscle Man's not wearing the same shoes.

"Why are you wearing two different shoes?" She asked. Muscle Man tries to look but he isn't able to see his feet. "Uh... geez, babe, I guess it's been a while since I've seen my feet. I've been takin' a lot of power lunches lately." He said. Starla sighs. "Mitch, you know you'll always be my power lunch, but maybe it's time for us to eat a little healthier." She said.

"I guess I could try eating the salad instead of throwing it in the trash." Muscle Man said. "I know -- let's go on a diet!" Starla said. "Huh?!" Muscle Man asked. Starla takes Muscle Man's hands excitedly. "I'll do it with you! It'll be fun!" She hugs Muscle Man. "But -- All right, babe. You always want what's best for me. I'll eat healthier if it makes my fun bun happy." Muscle Man said. "WONDERFUL! Our diet starts tonight." Starla said. "You mean, after we go to Cheezers?" Muscle Man asked.

"No. I mean right now. I know a new restaurant we can try." Starla's voice gets distorted. "Salad Corral!" She said. At Pops' House, (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, and Hi Five Ghost are watching a horror movie together and making fun of it. In the movie, a monster's chasing a couple who run into the woods. "Yeah, run into the woods, that's safer." (Y/n) said sarcastically, and her friends laugh. In the movie, a monster chases after the couple. The monster looks cheesy instead of scary.

"Oh, no! It's the curse of the dude in the cheap rubber suit!" Rigby said, playing along with (Y/n), and everyone laughs again. Muscle Man runs in. "Bros, it's an emergency!" He shouted. "What's up, Muscle Man?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah, what's wrong?" (Y/n) asked him with concern. "It's terrible! Starla started me on a diet tonight!" Muscle Man shouted, and Rigby pats Muscle Man's fat stomach.

"Sounds like she did you a favor, man." He said, and (Y/n) slaps him. "Ow!" "If it gets any bigger, we're gonna have to add it to the park payroll!" Fives said. Mordecai, Rigby and HFG laugh. Mordecai and Rigby eat more chips as (Y/n) looks at Muscle Man with concern. "This isn't funny! Sometimes you gotta sacrifice for the one you love. I wanna get healthy.

But I gotta do something first, and I need you guys to help me. Tomorrow, while Starla's out with her mom, I wanna eat all my favorite foods one last time. I can't give 'em up without saying goodbye. They made me who I am. Will you help me, bros? One final scarf-down before the buffet closes?" Muscle Man asked. "I don't know dude, are you sure that's a good idea? What if you get sick? I mean, Rigby's body left him when he ate too much crap at once." (Y/n) said.

"Er... she was a point, Muscle Man." Rigby said awkwardly. "You don't have to worry about me (Y/n), just help me, please." He said, and she sighs. "Okay." She said. "Sure, dude" Mordecai said. "We'll help." Rigby said. "No problem." Fives said. muscle Man takes off his shirt and twirls it in the air. "WHOOOO!" He goes up to the bowl of chips and eats some in a very sloppy way. "See you tomorrow, grandmas!" He leaves. "You want anymore of these?" Rigby asked his friends. "Nah." Fives said. "Nah, I'm done." Mordecai said. "No thanks." (Y/n) said.

The next day they all go to Muscle Man's trailer and he has a map laid out with restaurants on it. "Alright bros, it took me all night, but I finally figured it out. Here on this map you can see all the best food joints in the city. Grill ' Em Up, Death Kwon Do, Wing Kingdom, and finally Hot buns." Muscle Man said. "Hot buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuns." Mordecai and Rigby said, and (Y/n) giggles. "THAT'S THE BEST DOGGERY IN TOWN!" Rigby said. "YOU KNOW IT, BRO!

Fives will drive us cause he's skilled with his hand." Muscle Man high fives HFG. "You dudes are gonna come along with me for moral support and talk to Starla if she calls. I'm not gonna lie to her about cheating on this diet, but I don't care if you do." Muscle Man said. "AW, WHAT!?! How's that any different than..." Mordecai said. Muscle Man hands the phone to Mordecai. "It's ringing, bro!" He said.

He takes the phone. "Hello?" He asked. "Oh, hey, Mordecai. Can I talk to Muscle Man?" Starla asked. "Muscle Man can't talk right now, he's outside doing.." Mordecai sees Muscle Man eating whipped cream. ".. leg lifts?" He asked. "WOW, REALLY!?! Can you tell him I can't wait to get a hold of his ripped glutens?" Starla asked. "Yeah, uh-huh, maybe, bye." Mordecai hangs up the phone and sighs.

"Alright, bros. LET'S DO THIS!" After a toast of cream soda, Muscle Man and the gang go to several restaurants on the map. Finally they stop at Hot Buns. "Well bros, here we are. The final stop. One more Hot Buns hot dog and I'll be ready to start that diet." Muscle Man said. (Y/n) looks around at all the people. "Wow, it's even more crowded than usual." She said. Muscle Man goes up to the employee. "Hey, Muscle Man." The employee said. "Yo, Marty! How is it going bro?!" Muscle Man asked. "How many people does Muscle Man know?" (Y/n) asked.

"Probably a couple thousand." Rigby said. "One of your delicious hot dogs, please?" Muscle Man asked. "No can do bro." Marty said. "What?" Muscle Man asked. "We need all our hot dogs for the hot dog eating contest." Marty said. "Come on man, one hot dog? For me?" Muscle Man asked. "My hands are tight man. The only way to get one of our dogs today is to join the contest." Marty said. "Well then sign me up, bro!" Muscle Man said. "What?!" (Y/n) panicked. "Here you go!"

The employee hands him a sheet which he signs his name on. "Ah, my last delicious meal." Muscle Man said, and (Y/n) quickly runs to him. "Muscle Man, stop! Please think this through!" She shouted. "I've already made up my mind, (Y/n)." Muscle Man said. "But you've already eaten so much! Who knows what could happen to you if you eat all those hotdogs! I can't let you do this!" (Y/n) shouted worriedly.

Just then evil laughter is heard and Death comes out riding on a motorcycle. "You better listen to the chipmunk." Death said. "Death?!" (Y/n) asked. The gang gasps. "What are you doing here?" Mordecai asked. "Boy! You guys really are fools. Don't you remember?" Death asked.

~Flashback to the events of Dead at Eight~

"So don't expect it to be so easy to get one of your souls back next time! Which will be soon, what with Muscle Man entering that hot dog eating contest." Muscle Man, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby laugh as if Death was only joking. "Seriously, you're gonna die in a hot dog eating contest."

~Back to the present~

"Wait, you were talking about TODAY?!" (Y/n) asked in surprise. "But I just wanted one more hot dog before getting healthy for Starla. I'm not a real entrant in the contest!" Muscle Man said. "Oh yeah?" Death shows the top of the paper which says "Sign up sheet for real contest entrants" then throws the paper back at Muscle Man. "Your reading skills are rubbish!" Death shouted.

"I never should've done this!" Muscle Man shouted. "It's a plain piece of paper, dude. Just don't participate." Mordecai said. "He has to participate! If he doesn't," Death holds up his axe. "Then I'll just take his soul right now!" Death shouted. "What?! That's not fair!" (Y/n) shouted angrily. "Quiet rodent! Or I'll take your soul too!" Death threatened. Rigby steps in front of her protectively. "Back off! You don't just get to take people's souls if they haven't done anything!" Rigby shouted. "Yeah! You're just jealous of Muscle Man livin' his life! Muscle Man's lived more life in one day than you have in a thousand years!" (Y/n) shouted angrily.

"What?! I do too live life! I live all kinds of life!" Death shouted, and Rigby scoffs. "Listen to this guy." Rigby starts imitating Death. "I've got so much life." Then goes back to his normal voice. "He's probably never even had the guts to enter a hot dog eating competition." He said, and (Y/n) snickers. "Not true! I'm all about competitive eating! I ain't lost a hot dog eating contest since Muscle Man's hairstyle was a legitimate fashion statement!" Death shouted.

"Was that before or after your skin started looking like grated Parmesan?" (Y/n) snarked, and Rigby burst into laughter, and so does Muscle Man. "Ooohhh! Parmesan skin!" He said. Death was now enraged. "Give me that!" Death signs his name on the paper. "If I win this contest, Muscle Man's soul is mine! And I'lll get the sassy little chipmunk's here as a bonus!" Death shouted, glaring at her and she and her friends glared back. "No way!" Rigby shouted. "Yeah, (Y/n)'s off limits!" Mordecai shouted. "If you want her, you'll have to go through us first!" He shouted, and Death steps close to the duo. "That can be arranged." Death said, and the duo glare at him.

"Leave her out of this, bro!" Muscle Man said furiously. "Fine, but if Muscle Man wins, he doesn't die!" (Y/n) shouted. "Which isn't very likely, seeing as Muscle Man's stomach's is almost full. Catch you gents on the flip side." Death puts his ax against Muscle Mans' throat. "Flip side of the ground that is." He walks away laughing evilly and (Y/n) growls angrily. "My stomach fears no reaper, bro! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"

Muscle Man shouted. "Welcome to the annual Hot Buns hot dog eating contest! Whoever eats the most dogs within 10 minutes wins! And remember, if you can't hold down what you put in your mouth you are disqualified!" The Referee (Marty) said. "Hope you're hungry." Death said to Muscle Man. Muscle Man moans nervously. "You can do it, Muscle Man!" (Y/n) shouted. "Ready? CHOW DOWN!"

Marty shouted. Muscle Man and Death start eating as many hot dogs as they can, Death's pretty much cheating by using his magic powers to stuff the hot dogs in his mouth. Muscle Man's having a hard time eating the hot dogs. Muscle Man's phone rings and Mordecai answers it. "Hello." He said. "Hey, Mordecai. How's my wing king doing?" Starla asked. "Uh, good." Mordecai lied. "Tell him I'm making us a healthy dinner." Starla said.

"Is that Starla? Let me talk to her!" Muscle Man said. Mordecai covers the speaker on the phone. "But you told me to cover for you!" He shouted. "This is it, I'm not gonna go out on a lie. NOW GIVE ME THE PHONE!" Mordecai hands the phone to Muscle Man. "Babe, listen up, I've got something important to tell you, and you're not gonna like it." Muscle Man said. "Okay?" Starla asked. "I know I'm supposed to be on a diet, but I'm in a hot dog eating contest with Death and I'm about to lose." Muscle Man said.

"WHAT?!" Starla asked furiously. "I've only got a few minutes left and I just wanted you to know, I love you!" Muscle Man said. "Don"t you give up, Mitch! Hang on! Stop the car, Mom! My man needs me!" Starla shouted. Starla's mom gets out of the car and waves to Starla as she drives away to go help Muscle Man.

At the contest Death's laughing evilly and uses his magic to summon a tornado while Muscle Man groans. Starla drives through the crowd honking the horn on the car. "Huh?" Muscle Man asked weakly. "Mitch!" Starla shouted. "Starla!" He falls down. Starla runs up on the stage. "MITCH!" Muscle Man's very weak at this point which worries Starla. "You can't die!" Starla shouted.

"I'm sorry, babe! I'm sorry I lied to you and hurt you like this. Even if I had to eat wheat germ for the rest of my life, I'd do it if it meant one more day with you. But, I guess in that case, the rest of my life would only be one day," Muscle Man turns away from Starla. "But... you know what I'm saying." He said. Starla turns Muscle Man's face around and looks deep into his eyes.

"OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING! I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING! That's why I love you with all my heart." She said. "Aw..." (Y/n) said. "Really, you love me that much?" Muscle Man asked. "Wholly and truly. And because of that I won't let you go without one more taste of your... most... favorite... food." Muscle Man and Starla start making out intensely and passionately as the audience watches in disgust. They start spinning around as they continue making out. "Oh, that's disgusting!" Death said. "For once I agree with him." (Y/n) said.

"Are people allowed to do that to each other?" Rigby asked, and (Y/n) snickers, as that question remained her of a familiar vine video. "I don't feel so..." Death pukes. "DISQUALIFIED!" The audience cheers for Muscle Man because he won the contest. "WELL, WHO WOULDN'T GET SICK!?! AREN'T YOU SEEING THIS!?!" Death asked. As the tornado disappears, all the hot dogs that were floating in the air falls and the audience except

(Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and HFG leave in disgust. Death begins to leave and Marty makes fun of him as he passes by. "Hey loser! Here's your complimentary shirt, you loser!" Marty holds up a T-shirt that says "I GOT DOGGED AT THE HOT BUNS DOGGERY" while laughing mockingly at Death and (Y/n) tried so hard not to laugh. "You better enjoy the next few days,

cause your deadline just got moved up, BIG TIME!" Death leaves on his motorcycle as the back tire splashes mud onto the countertop, Marty, and the shirt he's holding. Muscle Man and Starla are on the stage talking about their diet. "Thanks for coming, Starla. None of those dogs can match my fun bun. I'll eat that wheat germ if it makes you happy" Muscle Man said.

"Didn't I tell you? I got us Wing Kingdom brand wheat germ. It's southeast Asian Buffalo Ranch." Starla said. "No one gets me like you do, babe." He starts making out with Starla again. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and HFG are standing there watching. "You think we should tell Muscle Man there's a hot dog sticking out of his pocket?" Rigby asked. "Nah, he'll figure it out." Mordecai said.
