Tent Trouble
At Pops' house early in the morning, Anna and Eileen are giving (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby, who are sleeping, some stuff. "Here are the hotdogs and some more supplies, tarp, extra stakes..." Anna said. "First aid kit, length of rope, and hank-crank radio for emergencies." Elieen said. "And here's the regular radio." Anna said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby groan tiredly. "C'mon you guys, camping! Get excited." Anna said.
"I know it's early, but if we do this now, you can have the campsite set up by the time Anna and I get off work." Eileen said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are sleeping while holding the supplies. Anna clasps her hands loudly, waking them up. "Just focus for a sec" Anna points. "There's the sleeping bags and the cooler. There's my new tent." She said. "Woah. You got the "Camp Champ Deluxe"?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah. When I found out you guys liked camping, I decided to splurge on it. It's so awesome. All you have to do is unzip it and it pitches itself." Anna said. "Nice." Anna kisses Mordecai on the cheek.
Eileen just watches Rigby drooling before walking away. Anna and Eileen walk over to Eileen's car. "See you guys up there." They drive off. "Dudes, hit the snooze button." Rigby said. "Aww! C'mon, let's get this stuff in the cart." (Y/n) starts driving the golf cart backwards to get the stuff on it. Rigby is leading her. "You're good. You're good. You're good. You're good. You're good." (Y/n) accidentally runs over Anna's tent. "Bad! You're bad!" Rigby shouted. "What?" (Y/n) asked. "Too far! Pull up!" Rigby shouted. She pulls up, ripping the tent. "Aaah! No!" Rigby shouted. "Back more?" (Y/n) asked. She goes back more. "Gah! Forward! Forward!" Rigby shouted. A tent pole snaps as she moves forward, off the tent. (Y/n) comes out. "Ugh! I don't know what you're trying to say.
"Gah! Anna's tent!" She picks up the now damaged tent. "Dudes, she said it was brand new and now it's totally wrecked! We gotta fix this." (Y/n) said. "Just throw it in the trash and say someone stole it. Do we even need a tent?" Rigby asked, and (Y/n) punches him. "Aww!" Rigby said. "It's not just about needing a tent. It's that it's Anna's tent. She'd be really bummed if she found out we broke it.
We have to replace it." Mordecai said. "You're right, you're right. We should replace the tent. But we have to get breakfast tacos, right?" Mordecai and (Y/n) walk off, and Rigby follows. "Drive-through?" (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby go to Outdoorz & Morez, a camping shop. Mordecai talks to an employee. "Hey, uhh, we want a non-crushed version of this, please." He said, referring to the wrecked tent. "Oh yeah, you want the Camp Champ Deluxe. It's right over there."
There is a model of the set-up tent, plus 3 boxes of it. The price shown is $20 on special, but it shows $200 near the boxes. They see the"$20 on special" sign. "20 bucks? Oh, good. I thought it was gonna be like 200 dollars." Mordecai said. "Wait, 20 bucks? There's no way the tent can be that-" The "On Special" signs falls. The real price is $200.00. "Cheap..." (Y/n) said. "$200?!" Mordecai asked.
"Yeah, I know, it's a pretty big rip-off. Doesn't even fit one person." The salesman said. "I don't have $200." (Y/n) said. "Come on, can't you give (Y/n) a discount? She ran over her sister's tent." Rigby said, and (Y/n) slaps him. "Ow!" "Yeah...I'll be in the Trail Mix aisle if you need me." He grabs trail mix from the aisle and eats. Rigby turns to (Y/n). "Can't you just say you're really sorry? She's your sister, she'd understand." Rigby said. "You don't understand, Anna has a serious temper when she's angry, trust me, you do not want to get caught up in that." (Y/n) said. "Huh, sounds like a certain someone else I know." Rigby said, and (Y/n) once again slaps him. "Ow!" (Y/n) walks off. At Pops' house,
Benson is in his office. Someone knocks on his door. "Yeah?" (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby come inside. "Hey, Benson." Mordecai said. "What is it?" Benson asked, not looking up. "We just realized that you need somebody to trim the hedges 'cause they're lookin' pretty shabby." Mordecai said. "Wicked shabby!" Rigby said. "Yeah, they look really bad. We also just noticed that we need $200.
So if you have the $200, we can just go trim those hedges for you right now." Mordecai said. "Or tomorrow." Rigby said, and Mordecai punches him. "The hedges are fine. Wait, why are you even here? I thought you were going camping." Benson said. "Uh -" Mordecai said. Benson raises his eyebrow.
"I broke Anna's tent and need money to replace it." (Y/n) admitted. "No." Benson said. "What? Why not?" (Y/n) asked. "Maybe because every time I give you extra work, it never gets done!" Benson shouted. "Well maybe if you gave us jobs that weren't so boring..." Mordecai said, and (Y/n) elbows him hard. "Ow!" He shouted. "Argh! If you need extra money so badly, just go get a part-time job!" Benson shouted. "But that's like even more and more work!" Rigby said. "You could just tell Anna the truth?" Benson asked. "Hmm...mhm, mhm...Benson, look out behind you!" Mordecai said.
Benson turns his head to notice (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby driving off in the cart. The trio try out part-time jobs. First, they try out working at a hot dog stand. Rigby gets hot so he scoops up some of the hot dog grease in a cup and drinks it. Mordecai, grossed out, accidentally squeezes two buns together, causing the sausage to fly out and get stuck in their customer's nostril. The three run off, at their next job, they hold signs to point towards a business.
Rigby shows off and throws his sign into the road, causing a collision, making them run off again. Their next job is as valets at a valet park. Rigby takes keys from a fancy couple, and throws them over to Mordecai, who is standing by the key stand. Mordecai isn't able to catch the keys in time however, and falls into the stand, knocking all the keys to the ground. A gang of scruffy hooligans quickly run and take the keys, stealing all the cars. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby run off again, their next job is at a crocodile lake. The trio try to feed the crocodile some T-boned steak, but it jumps out and eats the entire shovel it was being served on, causing them to run off.
Their next job is at a restaurant called Marv's Grill. They seem to be doing well, with Rigby as a waiter and Mordecai and (Y/n) as cooks, until the restaurant catches on fire, most likely thanks to them. Their final job is at a bed store, where they are trying to show a woman around. They end up jumping on one of the beds, and Rigby bounces into her chest, presumably getting them fired. At the Park Snack Bar, Muscle Man is working, and the trio are trying to look for more part-time jobs in a newspaper. "Are they any jobs left?" (Y/n) asked. "Just military recruit and lumberjacks." Rigby said. Mordecai's phone rings. "Dudes, it's Anna!" Mordecai said. "Pick it up!" Rigby said.
Mordecai answers the phone. "Make sure not to tell her about the tent." Rigby said, and Mordecai slaps Rigby across the face. "Hey..how's it going?" He asked. "Did you guys set up the tent yet?" Anna asked. "No, not yet! We're still just stuck here at the park." Mordecai said. "Oh, okay! Well can you just text me a picture of the tent anyway? I wanna remember what it looks like in the bag." Anna said.
"What? Uh..." Mordecai grabs Rigby's newspaper and scrunches it up. "I'm losing you, Anna! We're driving through a tunnel. See you on the mountain!" Mordecai hangs up and groans. "Dude, I was still reading that." Rigby said. "Forget about the paper! How are we gonna get the $200?" (Y/n) asked. Muscle Man starts clearing his throat loudly. "Did you say $400?" He asked. "No, I said 200." (Y/n) said. "Oh. Well, I gotta way you can make that too." Muscle Man said. "We're listening." Rigby said. "The Side Line holds a mud wrestling competition twice a month." Muscle Man said. "Mud wrestling?" The trio asked.
"Gross." (Y/n) flinches. "Yeah, if you can last five minutes against Starla and her sister, Peggy - the money's yours!" Muscle Man said. "Five minutes? That's it?" Mordecai said. "You might feel differently in the ring, but if you think you can last..." Muscle Man said. "Oh, I think we can! Mordecai?" Rigby asked. "Let's go get that money." He said. Later on, Mordecai and Rigby are stretching.
"Sure are a lot of people here." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, mud sports fans are pretty passionate." Muscle Man said. "Mud! Mud! Mud!" Everyone chanted. "It's just Starla and her sister, it can't be that bad!" Rigby said. The lights dim as a spotlight appears over the MC in the ring. "Welcome to...Mud Mania!" Everybody cheers. "Put your hands together and your mud ponchos on for...your two favorite misses of mess - The Mud Angels: Peggy and Starla!" A door opens, revealing both Starla and Peggy. They move towards the ring, and throw mud on fans. A showreel of their victories is shown on one of the screens, even showing Hissy Fit, Four-Armageddon, and Huge Head.
(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby look at the showreel in fear. "Not those jerks!" (Y/n) said. They turn around to see Benson, Pops, Skips, Hi Five Ghost and Thomas walking towards them. "Hope you guys aren't having second thoughts, 'cause we all paid good money to see you in that ring!" Benson said. "What?" The trio asked. Thomas then looks at (Y/n). "Wait, you're not considering fighting too, are you?"
Thomas asked, worry was evident in his voice. The group look at her worriedly. "Uh... nope! It's just gonna be me and Mordecai, (Y/n)'s staying out of this." Rigby said. Thomas seems to sigh with relief, but (Y/n) wasn't too happy about that. "What?!" She angrily turns to her best friends. "Why?! I'm the one who actually broke the tent! I should be fighting with you guys!" (Y/n) shouted. Mordecai and Rigby look at each other nervously, Rigby tries to come up with an excuse. "Well technically, it was my bad instructing that made you break it, so..." Rigby said. "I don't care! I still broke it! Just let me help you guys for once!" (Y/n) shouted.
"For once? You've already helped us multiple times today (Y/n), at our other jobs." Rigby said. "That's not what I meant and you know it! Whenever it comes to something risky or dangerous, you two never let me do anything! And that goes for the rest of you, too!" (Y/n) shouted angrily, pointing at the other guys, who were taken aback. "I know I can help! Do you just not think I can?! Do you think I can't help any of you just because I'm a girl or something?!" She asked, and their eyes widened at this.
"What?!" Her best friends asked in shock. Rigby shakes his head. "No! Come on, (Y/n)! You're our best friend! We would never think of you like that!" Rigby asked. "That's hard to believe, considering you all never let me do anything! I actually can be of use you know!" (Y/n) shouted, tears of frustration came out of her eyes. "It's not like that at all! We know you're useful." Thomas insisted, and (Y/n) glares at him. "Oh, like you can talk, Thomas! You're the one who has to prove his worth over and over again just because you're the intern!" (Y/n) shouted, and everyone was surprised. (Y/n) instantly regretted her words when she saw how upset Thomas looked. Betrayal flickers in his eyes as they looked a bit watery, but he just turns away from (Y/n) and decided not to speak anymore.
"You guys don't think I'm capable I know you don't!" She shouted. Benson approaches her. "No, we just... don't want to see you getting hurt." He said softly. "But I can handle myself, Benson! I've been trying to tell you guys that every time and you never listen to me! Some friends you guys are!" (Y/n) snapped. "We're just trying to help." Thomas said sadly. "I don't want your help! I don't need your help!" She shouted furiously,
and some of her friends flinched back. She sighs angrily. "You know what, forget it. Enjoy getting the crap beat out of you by Starla." (Y/n) walks away from her friends and takes her seat. Benson, Pops, Skips, Hi Five Ghost and Thomas look at each other with guilt and sigh, then walk away and take their seats some space away from her. Mordecai and Rigby groan, as the MC makes an announcement. "Now, let's meet tonight's challengers: Mordecai and Rigby!" Mordecai and Rigby exchange looks, then climb into the ring. (Y/n) huffs and crosses her arms. "Remember, this is an unsanctioned fight at a two-star restaurant.
We are not liable for any injuries or deaths." Mordecai nods towards the MC, then huddles into Rigby. "Okay, dude. Just don't let them touch you. We don't need to fight, all that matters is that we're still standing after five minutes." Mordecai said. "Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph!" Rigby said. "Uh, we can hear you?" Starla said. "This is our house!" Peggy said. "But it's gonna be your grave!" Starla and Peggy laugh, then high five each other. Mordecai and Rigby gulp. "Alright, to your places!" Rigby and Starla exit the ring, for Mordecai and Peggy to fight. "Ready...set...let's get muddy!"
The bell rings declaring the start. Peggy runs towards Mordecai, who quickly jumps into some mud to dodge her. He runs in circles around the ring, as she chases him. "Keep it up, man! That tent money is ours!" Mordecai stops for a second to give Rigby a thumbs up, but then slips into the ground. "Huh?" Peggy jumps onto Mordecai's back with her elbow. "Ooh!" The park gang including (Y/n) said.
Even though she was mad, she still didn't like what she was seeing. Thomas' eyes trail over to her. He still felt hurt by what she had said, but he knew that she was just angry at the moment and didn't really mean it. (Y/n) felt someone staring at her, and turned over to Thomas, who quickly looked down once he had been caught staring, and (Y/n) frowns, noticing his hurt expression, but then focuses on the match again and decided she'd apologize to Thomas and the others later.
"That looked pretty painful." Skips said. "Sure did." Benson opens up a can of soda and drinks it, and (Y/n) rolls her eyes at that. 'Of course he didn't care. But if it had been her up there with them, then that would be a different story...' she sighs softly. She felt guilty for lashing out on her friends. In the ring, Mordecai is being beaten up by Peggy. "Take him down, Peg'!" Peggy crushes Mordecai's stomach. He groans in pain. "We're less than a minute into this, but it looks like time could be up for the challengers!" "Mordecai! Tag me in, tag me in! Tag me! Tag me!" Mordecai tags in Rigby, as Peggy drops a chair onto his back. He slides out of the ring groaning. "Don't worry, man! I got this." Rigby said. "Hmph..." Mordecai said.
Rigby enters the ring with Starla. His feet sink into the mud. "Grr...I'm not afraid of you!" Rigby said. Starla kicks Rigby across the ring, breaking his ribs as he lands. "Rigby!" Mordecai and (Y/n) shouted. "My ribs made a breaking sound!" Starla drags Rigby away by his feet, then stands over him. "Welcome to pain town, population: you!" Starla sits on Rigby's back, crushing his bones even more. Rigby screams in agony and (Y/n) cringes. "Isn't she great?" Starla throws Rigby into the edge,
then climbs onto a barrier, and jumps off onto Rigby with her stomach in slow-motion. Rigby screams and isn't able to blink in time, as Starla's stomach sweat drips into Rigby's eye. Rigby climbs from under Starla's stomach, gasping for breath. "My eyes! She touched my eyes! Couldn't blink in time - my eyes!" While Rigby is crying, Starla climbs onto the barrier to repeat her stunt again. Rigby quickly notices and screams, jumping out of the way, making Starla miss and face-plant into the mud. "Looks like a miss for our angel!" Starla growls as she lifts her face from the mud. Meanwhile, Rigby is slipping up on the mud trying to run away.
Starla takes advantage and pushes Rigby over, but Rigby quickly jumps into the ropes, bouncing him onto Starla's back. He grabs onto her as Mordecai gasps. Starla tries to shake him off. "Hey! Get off me!" She shouted. "Haha, Rigby!" Mordecai said, and (Y/n) cheers for him. Starla runs around with Rigby attached to her back. "The Mud Angels' undefeated title could be in jeopardy!" Peggy glances at Rigby angrily, and climbs into the ring with a sign.
"Hey Starla, you got something on your back!" She bashes Rigby off Starla. "What!? You can't do that!" Mordecai said. "Yeah, that's cheating!" (Y/n) shouted. "It was one on one, where's your sense of honor?" She asked. Mordecai runs into the ring. Peggy beats Rigby continuously with the sign, as Mordecai runs towards them. "Stop!" Peggy bashes Mordecai, making him fall onto Rigby.
"Folks, the clock is at the half-way mark!" The announcer shouted. "What?" Mordecai asked. "Half-way? It feels like we've been here for hours!" Rigby said. "Hope you guys like mud pie!" Peggy said. "Cause we're saving all you can eat!" Mordecai and Rigby get grabbed by Starla and Peggy, as they slam their heads into the mud. The Park Gang look uncomfortable, and (Y/n) is unable to look. "You two don't look so good!" Starla said. "Maybe you should stop wasting your time and give up already!" Peggy said. "Let's finish this, Peg!" Starla said. "They only have a minute left!" Pops said.
(Y/n) turns back to look at hearing those words. Peggy and Starla both jump into the ropes, swinging them towards Mordecai and Rigby, knocking the dudes down. The Mud Angels nod towards each other, and run in circles around Mordecai and Rigby. Their eyes turn red. "Whoa." (Y/n) said. "Folks! I don't believe it! The legendary sister twister!" The audience gasps in amazement, as Starla and Peggy's running turns the mud into a mud tornado. Mordecai and Rigby are still laying on the ground,
barely conscious. "Are we...winning?" Rigby asked. "Dude...I don't think so..." They both look up to see the tornado surrounding them, causing them to scream "Mordecai! Rigby!" (Y/n) shouted worriedly. "It's...beautiful!" Peggy and Starla jump from the ropes once again, bouncing them into the air. They hold hands and start spinning as they go through the eye of the tornado, towards the duo. Mud splashes everywhere. Mordecai and Rigby are thrown against the ropes, trying to stay standing while being blasted by mud.
The bell rings, indicating the end of the match. "Could the challengers even be standing after such a hit?" Mordecai and Rigby are seen laid up against the ropes. "Uhh, well - technically they're still standing! The challengers: Mordecai and Rigby, win the $200!" Everybody boos and complains. "I did not see that coming." Muscle Man said. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" (Y/n) quickly runs over to the duo in panic.
"I think there's some mud in my mouth." Thomas said. "Well I hope it was good for you!" Peggy said. "Hmph!" Peggy and Starla walk off. "Dude...we did it." Rigby said. "OOOHHHHHH..." they said weakly. (Y/n) quickly runs over. "Oh my god, are you guys okay?" She asked. "Yeah, we're fine..." Rigby said. (Y/n) sighs. "You idiots really had me worried. Don't do anything this crazy again okay?" (Y/n) asked. Mordecai chuckles. "Can't make any promises." He said. The guys cough. (Y/n) looks over at Thomas then approaches him and he looks away nervously. "Thomas?" She asked.
"Ye- yeah?" He asked, not making direct eye contact with her, and she sighs. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier. It was really out of line. I shouldn't have called you out for something like that. I'm sorry." She said, and Thomas sighs, then turns to face her. "It... it's okay." He smiles slightly at her, but (Y/n) could tell that he was still hurt and frowns, then places a paw on his right hand. "I know you guys are just trying to look out for me." Thomas grabs her paw and the duo smile at each other. Later the trio are at the campsite, and Anna and Eileen pull in. "Alright! Who's reading for some camping?" Anna asked. Anna and Eileen notice Mordecai and Rigby fully bandaged. "Whoa...what happened?" Eileen asked. "We had trouble with the tent." Mordecai said.
