Tants
On the TV, it shows a tan baseball player, a green baseball player, and a fire pit. The green baseball player releases a projectile and the tan baseball player jumps into the fire pit. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, HFG, and Thomas, who is still in his pizza costume, are playing together. They all groan in disappointment. Then everyone stares at Thomas. "I told you to jump over the fire pit Thomas, not fall into it." Muscle Man said. "Happy Park-iversarry!" Pops said. He runs into the living room with gifts, laughing. "What's a Park-iversarry?" Thomas asked the trio.
"Dude, "Park-Anniversary". Just break it down." Rigby said. "Pops is gonna give out really lame gifts, but just pretend like you like it or you'll hurt his feelings." (Y/n) whispers to Thomas. "Hey, Pops! Happy Park-iversarry!" (Y/n) said to Pops afterwards. "I come bearing gifts! I've picked out just the right presents for all of you." Pops gives presents to Muscle Man, HFG, and Thomas. "Oh, I can't wait!" Pops waves his arms. "Open them! Open them!" He said. Muscle Man pulls out a can. "Oh ho! Gag Peanut Brittle where a snake pops out!" He opens the can of peanut brittle with his eyes closed, but nothing comes out.
"...Or regular peanut brittle. Thanks, Pops." Muscle Man said. Fives goes through his bag to find green socks with red toe tips, a smiley face, and a text saying "Be Smiley" "Wow! Novelty socks." Fives said. Thomas pulls out a mermaid figurine. "A mermaid statue made of shells? Man, this is... this is..." Thomas looks over at (Y/n) for a moment for help on what to say, a hint of panic in his eyes, and she sighs and face palms slightly before she mouths "neat" he nods at her before looking back at Pops. "Super neat! Thanks, Pops!" He said. "When in doubt, buy shells." Pops said, and Thomas sighs in relief, then gives (Y/n) a grateful smile.
Pops ducks down. Now for (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby's gifts." He said. He lifts up three gift bags. "I think you're really going to like these." (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby grab their gifts. Rigby begins ripping the wrapping paper. He sees a box with the text "TANTS CO." in red and sees a man eating a turkey with tants on. He begins reading the text on the box. "'Tants. Dare to dine anywhere with flare in Tants!" "The pants that are also a table!" Rigby said. "Uh, they're great, Pops." Mordecai said.
"Yeah, thanks, Pops." Rigby said. "We love them!" (Y/n) said. Pops laughs. "Wonderful! I knew they'd be a hit. Well, I still have gifts for Skips and Benson. Happy Park-iversarry" Everyone says bye to Pops as he exits the room. "What are we gonna do with 'tants'?" Mordecai asked. "Also, your acting (Y/n)? Was a little over the top." Rigby said, and (Y/n) scoffs. "Like you could do better." She snapped. "I think you hit the jackpot this year. Those tants are pretty fresh," Muscle Man pulls the 'nice' gesture. "You know, I could take those tants off your hands for ya. Free of charge." He said.
"I don't know..." (Y/n) said. "What do you mean? You don't really like it, do you?" Rigby asked her. "Well no, but..." she began. "Then just hand it over. No harm done." Rigby said, and (Y/n) sighs. "Fine..." "Yeah, sure. Go for it." Rigby said to Muscle Man. "A wise decision, bro." Muscle Man said. "I hope so..." (Y/n) said. Later Mordecai is playing video games and Rigby is spectating as (Y/n) watches. Pops enters the room. "Ta-daaa." He is wearing the tants. "Woahhh, what are you wearing?" Mordecai asked.
Pops spins so they can get a glimpse. "Tants! I'm wearing tants! You must have not tried them on yet." He said. The trio laugh awkwardly. "Yeah, you got us." They said. "You know, I didn't want to make a big deal in front of the others, but I gave extra-heart into picking out your presents." Pops said. "Really?" Rigby asked in confusion. "Oh yes! I wanted to use the Park-iversarry as an opportunity to thank you for being such good friends to me." Pops said. (Y/n) covers her face in her paws in guilt and her best friends look at her with concern for a moment. "I thought we could all wear our tants and have lunch together!" Pops said.
"Oh..." (Y/n) said. "Uhhh, we...uh...kinda-don't...have the tants...anymore." Mordecai said. Pops makes a whining sound after hearing the response, crinkling his face so it looks like he's going to cry. "Oh no..." (Y/n) whispers. "We gave the tants-" Mordecai continued. Pops is on the brink of a tantrum. "-Uh-huh, we gave the tants-" tears well up in Pops' eyes. "We gave them to the dry cleaners!" Rigby shouted. "-uh, yeah-yeah! We took them to the dry cleaners to make sure they would be clean the first time we'd try them on!" (Y/n) said quickly. Pops immediately recovers from his to-be tantrum and gasps in relief. "Good show!
Then let's do lunch tomorrow when you pick up your tants." The trio agree with replies. "Splendid!" Pops laughs as he exits out of the room, hitting the wall due to his tants, but runs through at the end, laughing with joy. Pops has several collisions and laughter fades away. "Dudes, did you see his face?" Rigby asked. "Uh huh." (Y/n) said with regret. "Yeah, we can't make Pops cry. Those tants are really bad, but hurting Pops' feelings is worse." Mordecai said. "Come on, we gotta see Muscle Man about those tants." (Y/n) said. At Muscle Man's house, Mordecai knocks on the door, and he answers it. "Yes?" He asked. "We really need those tants back." Mordecai said. "Yeah, okay. Me and Starla are done with them anyway." Muscle Man said. The trio see that the tants are ruined. "AH! WHAT THE?!" They asked. "Gross, what did you do?!" (Y/n) asked. "All I did was have a pizza dinner, with Starla." Muscle Man said.
"Ugh! Did you even eat any of it?" Mordecai asked. "There's like a whole slice in the pant leg!" Rigby said. "You don't need to get all worked up about it, just wash them, they'll be fine." Muscle Man said. "Ugh!" The trio said. The trio go to the dry cleaners. "More up!" (Y/n) said. "Wait, let me switch my grip." Rigby said. "Alright, now, turn the tants to the right." (Y/n) said. Rigby turns the tants to his angle of right. "No, my right!" (Y/n) said in annoyance. "It's not fitting." Rigby said.
"Because you need to turn the tants!" Mordecai said. "I am turning it, you just have to push it more!" Rigby shouted. "It's not gonna work like that! The tants won't fit." (Y/n) said. "Why do you keep saying 'tants' so much?" Rigby asked. "Just turn them." Mordecai said. "Just shove 'em in!" Rigby seizes (Y/n)'s side of the tants and attempts to push them in the washing machine. He gets the large parts to fold on each other and pushes, but the force of his push caused the cardboard to rip and Rigby panics. "Agh! You're breaking them! Take them out!"
(Y/n) shouted. Rigby grunts as he, (Y/n) and Mordecai attempt to remove the tants from the washing machine. As he lifts a part, Mordecai unwillingly hit the 'start' button with his arm on the machine. The sound of water was heard within the machine. "What was that?" Rigby asked. The machine starts rumbling. "Dudes, look out!" (Y/n) pulls the duo to her side and they all fall to the ground. The machine starts spinning, as the fatal crunching sounds of the tants is heard and the trio watch in distraught. "Maybe we can fix it?" Rigby asked. "There's nothing left to fix!" Mordecai shouted. The tants are completely destroyed.
"We're gonna have to buy new tants." (Y/n) said. The trio are at a computer screen where 'tants' is searched. "There it is! Click it, click it!" Rigby said. "Alright, Let's see." (Y/n) said. "Which one is it?" Rigby asked. "Uh, this one!" (Y/n) said. "Two hundred dollars?!" Rigby asked. "The ergonomic cup holder makes it limited edition?" Mordecai asked. "Ugh. I can't believe Pops spent so much money on us." Rigby said.
"We're not limited edition friends, we're just standard issue jerks. We're gonna have to tell Pops" Mordecai said. "No! That'll crush him!" (Y/n) panicked. Pops suddenly enters the room. "(Y/n), Mordecai! Rigby!" He called. The trio jump out of their chairs in surprise. "I've been looking all over for you! I've been so excited about tomorrow!" Pops starts to laugh in excitement, and the trio look at each other. Pops starts to cough due to his laughter. He recovers and takes a breath and wipes his mouth with a hankie.
"Anyway, I forgot to ask which beverage you'd like. Lemonade or Pink Lemonade?" Pops asked. "Uhhh..." the trio said. "Oh, what am I saying?" Pops flaps his arms in front of him. "I'll get both! Let's go wild, it is our first tants lunch together" Pops laughs. "I "tant" wait for it." Pops runs out of the room, laughing in joy as he chants,'Tants lunch! Tants lunch!' constantly till the noise fades away. "We can't tell Pops." Mordecai said. "See?!" (Y/n) asked. "Ughh...What're we gonna do?" Rigby asked. "Just let me think. It's just pants in a table. Maybe we could just make some tants." (Y/n) said.
"Make 'em? How?" Rigby asked. "Remember that one time Benson made park uniforms for everyone?" (Y/n) asked. The trio remember wearing golf-like park uniforms, all three unhappy, and Benson is smiling at his work. "Oh yeah, those..." Mordecai said. "Don't remind me." Rigby said. "Anyway, if we use that sewing machine, we can make new tants." (Y/n) said. "Oh yeah!" Rigby said.
"Where was that thing again?" Mordecai asked. "The basement?" Rigby asked. "Yeah! The basement!" Mordecai said. The trio are standing and staring towards a sewing machine in the basement. "Wait, probably should have asked this beforehand, but do either of you know how-" "nope." Rigby and Mordecai said, and (Y/n) face palms. "Well that figures. Now what?" She asked.
"Hey, what about that close friend of yours?" Rigby asked (Y/n). "Close friend?" (Y/n) asked. "Well yeah, you've got your best friends, which is us, obviously." Rigby said, gesturing to him and Mordecai. "But then you have your three close friends from the coffee shop, Margaret, Sam and..." (Y/n) gasps and snaps her fingers. "Eileen!" She said. "Wow! A diamond crown Stitch Horse 5000 double-diamond series?! You know they stop making these in '75. It's the last of its series to have a solid steel throat-plate." Eileen said. "So does that mean you can do it?" Rigby asked. "With a workhorse like this," Eileen pats the machine.
"I think I can manage. But if we're gonna get these tants done by tomorrow, you guys will need to help." She said. "Hm hm!" The trio said. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Eileen are creating the tants. After some research, mistakes and construction, the quartet slide the cardboard into the 3 tants. "Whoa, Eileen, they look great!" (Y/n) said. "They really do, don't they?" She asked. "Awesome! Now we just have to add the logos and make them look legit." Mordecai said. Mordecai comes back with a trash bag and opens it, revealing the damaged tants. One of them has the logo spelling 'Tants Co' "Are you sure about ripping off the logo? The warning seems pretty specific." (Y/n) said. Inside the tants, a label says 'Warning: Tampering or removal of Tants co. logo is punishable by TantsCo law'
"But if we don't use the real logo, Pops would know they're different tants. We have to take it. For Pops' lunch." Mordecai tears of the logo, revealing a red button that starts beeping ominously and emitting noise. "Huh?!" The button then flashes subsequently. The quartet yelp and run as a laser comes shooting out of the button. The laser then draws a door shape in front of the quartet, which becomes a portal. Two arms come out, a leg, and then a man's face.
He comes out of the portal followed by 4 tant-wearing men in soldier uniform. The man in the black suit, who was unusually tall, stood in the middle of the pack. "Cease and desist!" The Tants Co. President. "Who the heck are you?!" (Y/n) asked. "Hm, only the active president and founder of Tants Co., maker of tants! I'm here to investigate a grave violation of Tants Co. company rules: Tampering or removal of the official Tants Co. logo is forbidden by law - of my company, and is punishable - by my company." He replied. "Uh sir, you better take a look at this." Two of the Tants soldiers pull the prepared tants towards the Tants Co. President, who takes a deep breath.
"Do you know how many Tants Co. laws you're violating with these off-brand tants?!" (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Eileen murmur unknowingly. "A couple?" Rigby asked. "Well, its at least seventeen-easily! The Tants Co. company makes subsequent products on my families bread and butter. Heck, those products are family to me! It's like you're walking into my home and taking the food right out of my wife's mouth! Well, I can't let this continue. Today, it's Bootleg Tants, but will it be tomorrow! Bootleg Glups?!" The quartet, aside from Rigby, look at each other.
"Ugh...you know, the gloves that are also a coffee cup?" A Tants soldier is seen wearing Glups on both hands. "Or, maybe you wanna make Sombrasses, the sombrero that's also glasses?" The Tants President asked. "Ugh!" Eileen said. "And what about Shtilts? The shoes that are also stilts! Are you gonna bootleg these?" He pulls down his long trousers, to which the trio prefer not to look at. "Whoa, whoa!" They shouted. "It's okay. He's still got pants on." Eileen said. The trio sigh in relief. "If these fraud tants exist, it will open a floodgate to all kinds of bootleg Tants Co. products! But I'm not about to let that happen to my company! I'm destroying these imposters." The President advances towards the unofficial tants. The trio and Eileen make a dash to stop him, protesting. "NO! STOP! YOU CAN'T!" They shouted.
The Tants soldiers come to stop them from advancing. Mordecai faces the 'glups'- wearing soldier, who Mordecai can't attack due to the mugs and almost has coffee spilt on him. "IN YOUR FACE!" Rigby tries to punch a soldier but due to his size he can only reach the waist he's not even hitting. (Y/n) and Eileen are trying to overwhelm the soldier with sombrasses but no luck, whilst grunting. The quartet are overwhelmed and are pushed back by the tants soldiers who surround them as the Tants Co. President laughs modestly.
"You know, brand-made Tants Co. Tants are fireproof Did you make yours fireproof?" He takes the Tants to a furnace. "Don't do it!" (Y/n) shouted. "No!!" Eileen shouted. "Hmph. Before I torch these imposters, just tell me one thing. Why on this good green Earth, would you make fake tants?" The tants president asked. "Because we had to!" Mordecai shouted. "Ha! Liar, liar, tants on fire! There is no good reason to bootleg tants!" He replied, and (Y/n) growls furiously. "Pops! Pops is a good reason. He bought us real tants from your company. He just wanted to have one lunch with us in tants, but we didn't appreciate Pops or his gifts, and they got ruined. We were just trying to fix things!" She growled.
"And (Y/n)'s friend worked really hard to help us!" Rigby shouted, and both smile at Rigby for that. "I'm sorry we ripped the label off. And I'm sorry we made fake tants. But we couldn't let Pops down and still call ourselves his friends." Mordecai said. The trio look down in guilt. "But that is the reason I consider you my best friends." Pops said. "Pops!" The trio said. Pops is seen at the front of the basement steps. "I heard everything." Pops said. "Pops! We're so sorry!" Rigby said.
"Yeah! We didn't mean to-" (Y/n) began. "No! I won't hear it. The lengths that you went for my sake mean more than any lunch in tants! That is true friendship." Pops said, and (Y/n) smiles at him. "Thanks, Pops." Mordecai said. The Tants Co. President is crying. He dries his tears with an oddly-looking tie with and end shaped like a hankie. "Tiekercheif. The tie that's also a handkerchief." The President tucks it in his shirt. "I've never seen such a touching display of friendship in all my life. This is why I started TantsCo...for the people. It's more beautiful than any product my company can make!" He said. "Does this mean we can have our tants back?" Rigby asked.
"NO!" He suddenly pushes the tants right inside the furnace incinerating them. "NO!" (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Eileen shouted. "MY WORK!" Eileen shouted, and (Y/n) put her right paw on her right shoulder. "I'm sorry Eileen..." she said softly. "Hahaha! Real friends deserve real tants! Tants all around!" The Tants co. President said. "Nice!" Mordecai said. "Aw, Sweet!" Rigby said. "I don't even know what's real and what's not..." Eileen said. Later in the afternoon, (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Pops are wearing tants, all wielding a dish on their table.
Pops is holding lemonade, and (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are holding glasses filled with it. "You know Pops, these tants are a pretty choice." (Y/n) said. "Yes, isn't the fabric nice and breathable?" Pops asked. "Yeah, totally!" Rigby said. Muscle Man and Starla appear holding each other and have their legs in a four legged trouser fuse. "Check it out! The Tants Co. President gave us this prototype frelt!" Muscle Man said. "It even came with these four-legged acid wash jeans!" Starla said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby and Pops look astonished. "It's okay if you're jealous. Tants are pretty last season." Muscle Man said. The couple take off, with their arms in each other's back trouser pocket. "Pops, I know we're friends, but please don't ever buy us frelts." Mordecai said. "Oh. I'd never do that! Those look ridiculous!" Pops said, and the quartet laugh.
