Saving Time

(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are walking into their room. "So he thinks the doctor can sew it back on?" Rigby asked. "Yeah, Muscle Man thinks so. He said it happened to his brother, too." Mordecai said. Rigby whistles. "Man, he's lucky." He said. "Tell me about it. Anyway, it's getting pretty late; I'm gonna call it. Good night guys." (Y/n) said, she opens her door and is about to leave, until... a soda is heard being opened, and she turns to see Rigby drinking it. "Are you seriously drinking a soda right now?"

(Y/n) asked in slight disappointment, and Rigby burps. "Yeah, you want one?" He asked. "Dude, what? We'll be up all night and we have to work tomorrow." Mordecai said. "Exactly." (Y/n) said. "Nah, don't you watch the news? It's Daylight Savings tonight." Rigby said. "So?" (Y/n) asked. "So, the clocks get set back an hour and we get to sleep in tomorrow morning!" Rigby said. "Oh, yeah. Well, in that case: Soda me, broda me!" Mordecai said, and Rigby throws him a soda. "Want one, (Y/n)?" Rigby asked. "Uh... no thanks. Good night guys." (Y/n) said, before leaving their room. "Goodnight!" Rigby calls after her. "Night." Mordecai said.

The duo then start rapping. "WHOO! Have a ball, baby. Let the party begin, it's Daylight Saving's when we get to sleep in!" They rapped. They open their sodas, spraying each other. The next morning. Mordecai and Rigby are walking to their designated area. "Dude, I feel so rested." Mordecai said. "Me, too. Man, I wish every day was daylight savings." Rigby said. They walk to the house where a meeting is taking place. "Well, look who decided to show up. An hour late." Benson said, and Mordecai and Rigby laugh. "They don't know. I guess you guys haven't heard of a little something called Daylight Savings." Rigby said. The others don't say anything.

"Haha, yeah. Technically, you guys showed up an hour early." Mordecai said, and Rigby laughs. Benson mocks Rigby's laughter. "Technically, Daylight Savings isn't until tonight." He said, and (Y/n) face palms. "Boys..." she said quietly. "Really? Huh." Rigby said. "Oops." Mordecai said. "Whatever, dude; it's just an hour." Rigby said. "Oh, is it? Well, I guess you won't care that it's an hour you aren't getting paid for." Benson said. "Aw, what?" Mordecai and Rigby asked,

and (Y/n) snickers, causing the duo to glare at her for a moment. "C'mon Benson, what's the big deal?" Mordecai asked. "Being on time is the big deal. This is a business we're trying to run. If everyone showed up late like you two, this whole park would fall apart." Benson said. "He's got a point, guys." (Y/n) crosses her arms. "It was an honest mistake, Benson. It's not like you've never been late to work." Mordecai said. "Actually, I haven't. Because, unlike you two, I take my job seriously. And since you're having so much trouble keeping track of time, you can be in charge of setting the clocks back for the real Daylight Savings Time." Benson said. "Ugh, fine. Come on Rigby, let's get this over with.

(Y/n), you gonna help us out?" Mordecai asked, and she snorts. "You two brought this upon yourselves, good luck." (Y/n) said, and the rest of the park gang laugh a little. Rigby huffs. "What the heck, (Y/n)? Uncool." Rigby said. "Whatever, let's just go." Mordecai said. They begin to walk off. "Hold it, not yet. You're gonna do it when the rest of the world does it: at two in the morning." Benson said, at this (Y/n) laughs. "Good luck with that!" She said. "What? That doesn't even make any sense. What does it matter if everyone's on the same time?" Mordecai asked.

"Yeah, what difference does it make?" Rigby asked. "Are you seriously making me defend the right time? You either set the park clocks back at two in the morning like everyone else, or you're fired!" Benson shouted. Later (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are playing video games. "Dudes, what time is it?" Mordecai asked. "It's 10 o' clock. That's like 4 more hours!" Rigby said. The duo drink soda. "I still can't believe Benson is making us wait until 2 to set the clocks back." Mordecai said. "I know! How does it even matter if the clocks are set to exactly the right time?" Rigby asked.

"It doesn't! He acts like he'd be able to tell if the clocks were a little off! He wouldn't be able to tell." Mordecai said. "Are you two kidding? It's Benson, of course he'd notice." (Y/n) argued, and the duo look at her in disbelief. "What? Are you saying that Benson would actually notice something like that? No way, (Y/n)." Rigby said. They drink more soda. "You know what, though? Technically we agreed to set all the clocks at the same time... but we didn't say anything about setting the clocks at the right time." Rigby said, and (Y/n)'s eyes widen at that. "What exactly are you suggesting?" She asked.

"How about we do what Benson says and set all the clocks back for Daylight Savings, but first, we set every clock in the park to the same wrong time, just to show Benson and everybody else that it doesn't even matter?" Rigby asked. "And then we'll come up to Benson in the middle of the day tomorrow and be like, "Hey Benson, all the clocks are wrong. You had no idea, did you?" Mordecai said. "What?!" (Y/n) instantly jumps off from the sofa, then turns frantically to her best friends. "Messing with time?! Are you serious?! That's a terrible idea!" She shouted.

The duo looked confused by her sudden outburst. "Whoa, (Y/n), chill. What's the big deal?" Rigby asked her skeptically. "Yeah, it's just a little payback." Mordecai said, and (Y/n) quickly shakes her head. "You two don't understand!" She shouted. "Oh yeah, what don't we understand, (Y/n)?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah, (Y/n), tell us." Rigby said. "Just trust me on this one, okay? It's a bad idea!" She shouted. "But why though?" Rigby asked. "Why are you acting like this? It's like you've made some kind of mistake with time yourself or something." Rigby's eyes widen before he looks over at her. "Wait, that isn't the case, is it?" He asked. "Uh..." (Y/n) said.

~Flashback~

(Y/n) puts all the clocks in the microwave. "(Y/n), what are you doing? You can't do that!" Rigby shouted. "Can't do what? This?" She shuts the microwave door, turns on the microwave, and the clocks melt. "Now you'll never be on time for your dudes night!" She shouted. The duo jump on her. "Gimme back those clocks!" Mordecai shouted. "Never!" (Y/n) shouted. They fight, but then (Y/n) accidentally gets tackled to the microwave, which teleports them away through a powerful electrical surge. The trio scream as they move in top speed.

"What's your problem?! Why do you have to be jealous all the time?!" Rigby asked. "Shut up! This is all your fault! I finally get a chance to ask out Sam, but you both had to butt in and ruin everything! Just like always!" She shouted. She then saw the hurt look on their faces, and actually felt the need to apologize, but then... "No, we didn't! We just wanted to see Zombie Dinner Party with our best friend, who flaked on us, for some boy who doesn't even know she exists!" Rigby shoves her. (Y/n) was now furious. "I HATE BOTH OF YOU!" (Y/n) then shoves them off the microwave. They fall off the microwave and yell, and their bodies disintegrate and become dust. 

~Present~

"No." She said quickly, looking away from them, and the duo look at her a tad suspiciously. And she sighs and turns back to them. "Okay maybe, but I just don't want you two to make the same mistake!" She shouted. "What exactly did you do, (Y/n)?" Mordecai asked curiously. "You don't want to know." She said quickly. "But I do want to know, that's why I asked." Mordecai said. "Just drop it, Mordecai!" She shouted, and the duo flinch back from her sudden anger. "Okay!" He said, and (Y/n) sighs. "All I know is, you mess with time, it tends to mess back. Be careful."

She warned, before they watched (Y/n) go upstairs, and they assumed to her bedroom. "Geez, what the heck could she have done that was so bad?" Rigby asked. "No idea, dude." Mordecai shrugs. "I mean it's (Y/n), it's not like she could have done something THAT bad, right?" Rigby asked. "Of course not, dude." Mordecai said. "Well, I can't wait to see the look on Benson's face when we tell him!" Rigby said, trying to lighten the mood. "Man, this is gonna be awesome!" Mordecai said. "WHOOO!" Rigby sprays Mordecai's face with soda. "Daylight Savings!" He shouted. "Aw, come on, dude! I gotta wash my face, now!" Mordecai said angrily. Later, the duo change the clocks everywhere in the park while rapping.

(Song: The Clock Song )

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh. huh-huh, huh-huh

This is the clock song, we're setting all the clocks wrong

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Benson's all about keeping track of time

But two in the mornin's where we draw the line

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

But it doesn't really matter 'cause the dude is whack, whack, whack!

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

This is the clock song, we're setting all the clocks wrong

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh

Mordecai and Rigby are sitting outside the house. "Well, I think that's every clock in the park." Rigby said. "Heh, heh. This is gonna feel like such a- oh. Wait. This isn't gonna work unless we change the clocks in Benson's apartment." Mordecai said. In Benson's office, Rigby opens the door. "Coast is clear. I'm pretty sure Benson keeps his spare apartment keys in his office." Rigby takes the keys off the hook. They both walk in. Mordecai chuckles as he changes the clocks in Benson's living room and kitchen.

Rigby giggles as he changes the clock in his bathroom. "Kay, there's only one more clock in the house. Moment of truth: Are we bad enough dudes to teach Benson a lesson?" Mordecai asked. "Heck yeah, we are!" Rigby said. "Hmm! Hmm!" The duo said. In the bedroom, Benson is sleeping inside. Mordecai and Rigby enter and walk quietly up to the alarm clock beside him. They look at a funny photo of him as a child. Benson is sitting on a swing as a child, with an embarrassing hairstyle and a stern scowl on his face. They giggle. Benson turns over. He opens his eyes a little.

"Huh?" Benson asked. Mordecai and Rigby are frozen in fear. They're done for! Benson mutters to himself. "Fine, I'll eat around it, then." He drifts back to sleep. Mordecai quickly sets the alarm wrong and they both leave. The duo chuckle. "Yes, we did it! Haha!" They said. The next day, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are on the steps. Benson comes in. "So, the mower's fine, car needs new tires..." Benson notices (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby. "Are you three actually the first ones here?" Benson asked. "Mmm, yeah we are." Mordecai said.

"We figured it was about time we started acting responsibly." Rigby said, Mordecai chuckles, and (Y/n) eyes her best friends suspiciously. "Well, good. I'm actually glad to see you guys take a little initiative for once." Benson said. "Well, it had to happen eventually." Rigby said. "Haha, yeah. It was only a matter of time." Mordecai said. They both chuckle while Benson stays unfazed, yet

(Y/n) still looks at them suspiciously. "Ok. Now that everyone is here, let's get started. Some teens tipped over the porta potties again so someone's gonna hav-" Benson said, but was cut off. "Oh, good show!" Pops said. "Uh, what is it, Pops?" Benson asked. Birds are flying around Pops. "It's the songbirds." Pops chuckles. "They usually don't come visit me until the afternoon!" Pops said. "Is that so...?" (Y/n) asked, glaring at her best friends as they smile nervously at her. "Ummm...oh. I see. Well, next on the list is...." Benson began, and a garbage truck comes in and Benson turns around.

"...is uhh..." Benson said. "Hey, yo. Mickey! How many bags you lugging over there?" A man asked. "I got four stinky bags! What do you care?" Mickey throws the bags in the truck. "I'm just trying to make polite conversation, you lousy mug! Jeez!" Mordecai and Rigby laugh. "That's weird. Garbage pickup isn't usually until eleven. And come to think of it, it's alarmingly hot for nine in the morning. Something's not...quite.." sprinklers start hitting Benson. "Gah! Why are the sprinklers going off two hours early?" He asked. Mordecai and Rigby laugh again.

"Would you two care to explain to us what's so funny?" (Y/n) asked, placing her paws on her hips as she glares at them. "We set all the clocks to the wrong time and nobody even noticed! Everyone showed up two hours late today." Mordecai said. "Whooaaaaaa!" The duo said. "We got you good, Benson!" Rigby said. "And it was business as usual." Mordecai said. "Yeah, we told you it didn't matter if everyone was on the right time. Besides, time's just an abstract concept, anyway. It's not like anything bad is actually gonna—" Rigby screams as the house starts shaking.

A fire hydrant breaks in half and flies into the sky, a tree falls and breaks the gate fence, and then the park starts to float away as the gang screams. "You idiots! Why didn't you listen to me?! I told you that if you messed with time something bad was gonna happen!" (Y/n) shouted furiously. "Goodness, the park is floating!" Pops said. "I'm gonna hurl, bro." Muscle Man said. "LET ME OFF!" Rigby shouted. "What did you two do?!" Benson asked. "Nothing! Honest! Well, something, but..." Mordecai said. "We set every clock in the park back three hours to mess with everyone!" Rigby shouted.

"It was just supposed to be a harmless prank!" Mordecai shouted. As the park continues to float, a little piece of the park falls, and a tree almost lands on Benson. "This doesn't look harmless to me! How on earth are we gonna fix this?!" (Y/n) asked. "Mordecai, Rigby, you've made a terrible mistake! When you changed every clock in the park, you officially changed the park's time zone." Skips said.

"What does that even mean?!" Rigby asked. "It means that unless we can change every clock back to the right time, the park is gonna relocate to the new time zone. That means it's gonna set down somewhere in the middle of the ocean, and I don't think this rock is gonna float!" Skips shouted. "Jeez, I always knew the park would sink, but I didn't think it would happen like this!" Rigby shouted. "Nothing is sinking on my watch!" Benson shouted. "Benson, look out!" (Y/n) shouted. Benson gets out of the way as a lamppost almost falls on him. Pops' house starts to crumble.

"Alright, everyone! Reset all the clocks in the park!" Benson shouted. Everyone except Pops gets moving. Muscle Man, Fives and Thomas drive off in the cart. Skips scrambles into a bush. Benson, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby run into the house. "Hurry!" Mordecai shouted. Pops watches them go, then he takes out his watch to reset it, but the house starts crumbling more, causing Pops to roll down the stairs. "Bad show!" Muscle Man, Fives and Thomas have made it to the trailer. They run inside, but a tree chases down onto it, smashing it in half. Muscle Man falls through one half of the trailer.

"Muscle Man!" Hi Five Ghost grabs the football clock and passes it to Thomas, who catches it but bangs into a drawer with the TV on top. The clock flies out of his hands. Muscle Man runs up and jumps to the other half of the trailer, squealing. He catches the clock and sets it to 11 o' clock. Meanwhile, Skips scrambles out of the bushes and goes to his house, as it starts rising from the ground and a tree falls in the gaps.

Skips jumps down onto the tree, then jumps off it through the house window. He rolls to his clock, setting it to the right time. Back at the house, Pops tries to avoid the crumbling ground as he sets the time on his watch. In the house, Mordecai sets the time on the grandfather clock, (Y/n) sets the time on the alarm clock in Rigby's and Mordecai's room, and Benson sets the time on the hall clock.

The four run outside, and see the park is still floating. "Why isn't it working?!" Rigby asked. Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Thomas and Skips meet up with the others. "You must reset all of them! All of them!" Skips shouted. "Everybody look!" Fives points to Benson's apartment floating behind the Park. "Oh no! Benson's apartment!" Mordecai shouted. "What? You guys changed the clocks in my apartment?" Benson asked.

"Sorry, man. It wouldn't have worked if we didn't change—" Rigby said. "Aaaaah! How are we supposed to get over there?!" Benson asked. Pops drives in with Carmenita. "Get in!" (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Benson are in. The four of them drive off. "You got this, bros!" Muscle Man shouted. Carmenita flies up to the apartment. They land on the roof, just before it sets down into the ocean. "We're setting down in the time zone!" Rigby shouted. They run through the roof door. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby run through Benson's room door.

"Come on! I have a key!" Benson shouted. Mordecai sets the living room clock, (Y/n) sets the kitchen clock, Rigby sets the bathroom clock, and Benson sets his alarm clock. They all meet up. "That's all of 'em!" Benson shouted. The apartment sinks deeper into the ocean. Water rushes through the glass of the windows. "No! The park!" Mordecai shouted. "Our friends!" (Y/n) shouted worriedly. The water starts flooding the park. Muscle Man, Fives Thomas and Skips are on Pops' house roof. "They're never gonna make it!" Thomas shouted worriedly.

Mordecai and (Y/n) have drowned in the water. The TV floats past them. Mordecai speaks blubber-ish. He and (Y/n) rise up against the ceiling. "What are you guys forgetting?!" Benson asked. "I don't know!" Mordecai shouted. (Y/n) sees Rigby's watch set wrong. "Rigby, your wa-" she drowns. Rigby check his watch, then sets it to the right time. The park and the apartment suddenly rise up out of the ocean, and float back to the time zone, where they belong. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, Benson and Pops are coughing. "♪This is the clock song, we're setting all the clocks wro-♪" Rigby sung, and (Y/n) turns to glare at him. "Not now, dude." Mordecai said.
