The Thanksgiving Special
At Pops' house, there is a football game on TV. "Well folks, it's another glorious Thanksgiving here at the Buckner Memorial Arena. This game is sponsored by Richard M. Buckner of Buckmart super stores." A commentator said. "Buckmart, buck$mart." Richard said. "The Skycats and the Mud Pidgeons are neck-in-neck this season, and things have certainly been heating up in the kitchen." Bill said. "You said a thorough mouthful there, Bill!" Chuck said.
"Ho ho, thanks Chuck! Let's see which team will be destined to take home the turkey!" Bill said. At the door to the kitchen, there is a sign saying "Mordecai and Rigby KEEP OUT!!". Skips enters the kitchen wearing an apron. Pops is laying out the Thanksgiving dinner. Skips goes to check on the turkey. Benson comes in while checking the schedule. "How's the turkey comin', Skips?" Benson asked.
"Needs another hour to cook." He replied. "Good, good, we're on schedule. Once Muscle Man gets back with the pies, we should have everything set. All that's left is picking up everyone's relatives from the airport." Benson said. "Oh, how wonderful it will be to give thanks with family here!" Pops said. In the living room, the table for Thanksgiving is being set up by (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby. Mordecai starts beatboxing.
Rigby: ♪Yeah, it's fun watching football on cable
But it's not Thanksgiving if you don't set up the table!
Mordecai: ♪This is for the turkey, this is for the stuffin'!
You don't got etiquette, you don't got nothin'!
(Y/n): ♪Etiquette!♪
Mordecai: ♪Etiquette!♪
Rigby: (using plates as turntables) ♪Eti-eti-eti-eti-etiquette!♪
The trio laugh. Benson, Pops and Skips come in. "Hey, you three. We're going upstairs to fix up the rooms for the guests. Remember: no football in the house!" Benson said. "Hmm, hmm. No football in the house. Cheeeeeck." Rigby said. "And stay out of the kitchen." Benson leaves with Pops and Skips. "I don't want you guys messing anything up." He said. "Bam! Table set." (Y/n) said. "You know what that means?" Rigby holds up a football. "Footbaaaaall!" He said, and (Y/n) instantly face palms. "Dude, did you not hear what Benson said? No football in the house." Mordecai said.
"Yeah Rigby, do you EVER listen?" (Y/n) asked, and Rigby scoffs at this. "Of course I do, because he didn't say anything about foam football in the house." Rigby squeezes the ball. "Dude.....time to go looooong!" Mordecai said. "Wait," (Y/n) began, and they both look at her. "Are we sure we want to do this? I mean the chances of you two ruining something from a stunt like this is almost guaranteed." (Y/n) said, and Rigby rolls his eyes. "Oh come on! Quit being such a party pooper!" He said. "I'm not a party pooper! I'm just saying, has anything good ever come of you two disobeying the rules?" (Y/n) asked. The duo look at each other. "Uh..." and (Y/n) face palms.
"See? And don't forget, it's STILL my JOB to watch you two. Don't think I'm gonna let you do anything stupid!" (Y/n) snapped. "Geez, well you know what, (Y/n)? We're not babies you know! I don't know why Benson asked you to watch us 24/7 because we don't need it! And we certainly don't need you acting like our mom, 24/7!" Rigby shouted. "Whoa, dude chill!" Mordecai shouted, but Rigby ignored him. "Oh yeah, that's big talk coming from the guy who always screws everything up!" (Y/n) shouted.
(Y/n) snatches the ball from him, and Rigby forces out a laugh, which sounded bitter and mockingly. "Oh, I'm the screw up? Things were great around here until you came along and started bossing us around." Rigby snapped. He snatches the ball back. "Look, I'm just trying to look after you guys! I'm your best friend! I don't want you getting into trouble!" (Y/n) shouted, raising her voice. "Are you? The only reason you're our friend in the first place is because Benson asked you to watch us. You're not a real friend, you're just with us all the time because Benson told you to!" Rigby shouted, raising his voice, and that comment destroyed her.
"Dude!" Mordecai shouted, glaring daggers at him, before looking over at (Y/n) worriedly who looked heartbroken, and she sniffs as instant tears began to fall. It only took a few seconds for Rigby to realize the consequence of his words, before his anger quickly changed into regret. (Y/n) quickly wipes her eyes from more incoming tears. "(Y/n), I..." Rigby said softly, trying to apologize, a few tears shedding from his own eyes.
"I hate you." She said, beginning to head towards the door. More tears welled up in (Y/n)'s eyes. "(Y/n), wait!" Rigby said desperately, and she stops for a moment without looking back at him. She quickly leaves then slams the door. "Dude! What the hell?!" Mordecai snapped, glaring at his other best friend. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, I swear!" Rigby shouted desperately. "I don't know what came over me! I didn't mean any of it!" Rigby shouted, and Mordecai sighs. "Dude, you really need to be more careful.
Just because Benson made it her job to watch us, doesn't mean she's not our friend!" Mordecai shouted furiously. "I know." Rigby said softly. "Saying that was pretty messed up, dude. You really need to apologize." Mordecai said. "I... I know. I will. Just... not yet." Rigby said. "What? Why?" Mordecai asked. "Because she's obviously really hurt right now, and she's probably just gonna shut me down when I try to apologize." Rigby said, Mordecai sighs and crosses his arms.
"Fine, but you will have to apologize to her, got it?" He asked, and Rigby sighs. "I know." He said. "Look, how about a round to try and cheer ourselves up?" Rigby asked. "Fine..." Mordecai said. Mordecai and Rigby start playing foam football. When Rigby dodges Mordecai while in possession of the ball, Mordecai tackles him to the ground. The foam football flies out of Rigby's hands, and starts heading towards... "The kitchen!" They scream in slow motion as they run towards the kitchen to retrieve the ball. Just as it's about to go over the gate, Rigby catches it at the last second.
"Phew. Good thing this Child Safety gate was here." The gate suddenly breaks off. Rigby falls and the ball flies out of his hands, again. "Noooooo!" The duo shouted. The chain of events is as follows: the foam football bounces over a bowl of food and a cup, over a fryer standing on a skateboard for some reason, then it stops briefly, knocking a can to the side, causing it to roll into a stack of clean dishes in the sink, and they crash. One of the dishes roll on their side and into a mop, causing the mop handle to lean back on the handle of a pan with a spoon inside on the stove. The spoon flies out of the pan and up on the spinning fan, causing it to break and land directly on the Thanksgiving feast. It continues spinning on the food,
and the bowls of food fall off the table and break. The orange yams fall off the table; followed by the still-spinning fan directly on them, sending them all over the floor. Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost come in with the pies. "Ugh, it took forever to get these pi-" Muscle Man steps on a slippery yam and starts squealing and slipping as he drops the pies and slams into the turkey which flies out. "Aaaaaah!" The turkey lands into the fryer, causing it to burst into flames. The skateboard starts rolling off the table, heading straight for Mordecai and Rigby,
who jump out of harm's way. The skateboard goes out the kitchen past the dining area, through the hallway --where Benson Pops and Skips were coming down the stairs,-- and out the door, where Mordecai and Rigby were just chasing it. The skateboard and the turkey speed up the ramp, and the turkey explodes in the air, sending chunks of it up on the house roof. The duo is shocked and they look at Benson, Pops and Skips, who are shocked as well. Later they're back to the ruined kitchen, and everyone is angry at Mordecai and Rigby.
Benson picks up the foam football. "What have you DONE?!" He throws it between Mordecai and Rigby. "The guests are arriving in a few hours! Now what do we do?! Ugh! I can't believe this! Speaking of which, where's (Y/n)?! I gave her the job of watching you morons so this kind of thing wouldn't happen! (Y/n), where are you?! You better come here right now!" Benson shouted furiously. "Wait! Don't get mad at her, this wasn't her doing! And she actually tried to stop us from doing this, but..." Rigby said. "But?" Benson asked, and Rigby sighs.
"I yelled at her, I said some pretty bad things to her that I didn't mean and she ran off. So that's the reason she wasn't around to stop this, okay?" Rigby asked. "What did you say?" Skips asked, raising an eyebrow, and Rigby sighs. "Rigby, you better tell me!" Benson snapped, and Rigby flinches and quickly put his paws up in surrender. "Okay! I said that the only reason she's our friend is because you made her watch us all the time!" Rigby shouted, and everyone looked at him in shock and disbelief. "You... you said all of that?" Thomas asked, anger rising in his voice. "Yes..." Rigby said, and this made Benson angrier than he already was. "RIGBY THAT'S A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY!" He shouted, and he sighs. "I know..." he said. "For real." Skips said. "Yeah bro, that is messed up." Muscle Man said, also angry. "How could you? I thought she was your friend." Thomas said, glaring at him.
"She is!" Rigby said. "OH REALLY?! IS SHE?! I HIGHLY DOUBT IT! BECAUSE IF SHE WAS YOUR FRIEND THEN YOU WOULD'NT HAVE SAID THAT TO HER! DO YOU REALIZE HOW DAMAGING THOSE WORDS ARE?!" Benson asked furiously. "I..." Rigby began, trying to explain himself, but Benson continued. "HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED AND SHE SAID THAT TO YOU?!" Benson asked. Rigby then looks down and sighs. "I... I'd feel..." Rigby sighs.
"I'd feel pretty awful." He said. "It's one thing to ruin my day, which is practically your job." Mordecai and Rigby are more guilty than ever. "But (Y/n) and your own families? Don't you care about anything?" Benson sighs. "This is the worst thing you've ever done." Benson scolded. "Maybe we can fix this. What if me and Muscle Man go to get more sides?" Fives asked. "Yeah, and I could go check on (Y/n) and pick everyone up from the airport." Thomas offered. Skips nods. "It's worth a try. Pops, Benson, let's go get another turkey." Everyone walks out of the kitchen except for Mordecai and Rigby.
"We can help too!" Mordecai said. Everyone turns to him. "I think you've helped enough. And stay away from (Y/n) while we're gone." They continue walking out of the house. Mordecai and Rigby try to catch up with them. "Sorry!" Rigby said, and Benson closes the front door behind him. (Y/n) hears a soft knock on her door. "Go away, Rigby." She said. "It's not Rigby." A familiar soft voice replied. "Thomas?" She asked, sounding surprised. "May I come in?" (Y/n) didn't answer, so he slowly opens the door and walks in, then slowly closes the door behind him. "What do you want?" (Y/n) asked. "I...." Thomas sounded a bit nervous due to her tone. And she sighs. "It's okay, I'm not mad at you." She said. Thomas sighs, then sits next to her on her bed. "I just wanted to see if you were okay. I heard about what happened." (Y/n) avoids eye contact, and Thomas sighs.
"Look, I get it. Friends are going to fight sometimes. But I'm sure Rigby didn't really mean what he said." Thomas said. "It seemed like it to me." (Y/n) growled. Thomas looks at her with concern, then put a comforting hand on her back. "Well, if you want, you could come with me to pick up everyone's families at the airport?" Thomas suggested, and (Y/n) looks at him. "It could help you get your mind off things." Thomas continues to rub her back gently. "Or you could go with Benson, Skips and Pops to get some more turkey." Thomas suggested. (Y/n) bites her lip, and tears began to pour as she shakes her head, and Thomas sighs. "Well, do what you want. I won't force you to do anything. But I don't think you should just stay in your room thinking about it. It'll make it worse." Thomas said. "I- I know." She replied. "I'll be back later, okay? You sure you'll be okay on your own here for a bit?" Thomas asked, and she nods, Thomas closes her door.
"Aw, man, we really messed up big this time." Mordecai said. "I know. They'll never find a turkey this late. If we don't fix this, our families won't have a Thanksgiving." Mordecai said. "And we'll be fired." Rigby said. "That, too. What are we gonna do?" Mordecai asked, then came to a realization. "We need (Y/n)." He said. "(Y/n)?! But there's no way she's gonna wanna help us after I-" Rigby began. "So now would be a good time to apologize, Rigby!" Mordecai snapped, and Rigby sighs. "You're right." He said. Rigby then goes to her bedroom door and knocks. "What?" She asked angrily. "(Y/n), it's Rigby. I need to talk to you." Rigby said. "Go away." She said. "(Y/n), come on." Rigby said.
"I'm not in the mood, Rigby." She said. "We need your help, alright?!" Rigby shouted desperately. At this her door opens and she looks at him. "Help? With what?" She asked. Rigby then shows her the kitchen and her jaw drops. "The two of you played football in the kitchen, didn't you?" (Y/n) asked them, and they smiled nervously, and she sighs and face palms. "Idiots!" She scolded. "Yeah, we did, and we ruined everything!" Rigby panicked. "Yeah, you have to help us, (Y/n), please?"
Mordecai begged, and she sighs. "Fine. But only because it's my JOB. This doesn't mean we're friends." (Y/n) crosses her arms, and Rigby sighs. "(Y/n)-" "shut it, Rigby." She said. "But-" They see a commercial on T.V about Farmer Jimmy. "Don't have a turkey yet? Not gonna find one? It's me! Farmer Jimmy at Farmer JImmy's Turkey Farm. I love Thanksgiving, but you already know that! What you may not know is that I also have a love and appreciation for pop music!" He plays a rock tune. "And it really rustles my jimmies that there's no Thanksgiving song.
That's where you come in! I'm holding a contest at my farm. Whoever writes the best catchy radio-friendly Thanksgiving tune wins my prized turducken. That's a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken. Everybody knows that. For decades, turduckens have been engineered by man. What you may not know is that one gets born naturally every million years." Jimmy checks the time. "Oh, the contest starts in half an hour. I gotta get ready!" He said.
"Dudes, this is perfect!" Mordecai said. "Yeah, man. We're great at songs." Rigby said. "We're gonna save Thanksgiving!" Mordecai and Rigby said. The trio are driving out in the country, and Rigby has a keyboard. "Now what was it we were singing?" Mordecai said. Rigby plays the keyboard. "Something, something pumpkin. Blah-blah-blah stuffing. Uhh..." Rigby said, and (Y/n) face palms. "Oh god..." she said. "Eating lots of food!" Rigby said. "Yeah! Eating lots of food!" Mordecai said. "Chomp chomp! Chomp chomp!" The duo said. "More than I can chew!" Rigby said.
"Chomp chomp! Chomp chomp! Football, football. Fall aslep on couch! Slip into food coma!" The duo said. "Chomp chomp! Chomp chomp! Football, football. Fall aslep on couch! Slip into food coma!" The duo said. "Yeah-yuh! This is gold!" Rigby said. "We still gotta come up with that first line though." Mordecai said. "It'll come to us. Besides, I got a secret weapon." Rigby whips out spoons. "Bam!" He said. "Spoons?" (Y/n) asked. "Sure, in the hands of a normal guy, but in the hands of a Rigby?" Rigby starts hamboning with the spoons.
"Spoonboning!" (Y/n) actually chuckles a little at this, although she tries to hide it but wasn't very successful as the duo heard and look in her direction, and Rigby smirks. "What's so funny?" He asked. "Just the whole hamboning thing, it's been a while since I've heard that." She said. "Yeah, since the whole Exit 9B thing..." Mordecai trails off, and the duo frown at the memories, and Rigby remembering how hurt he felt when a certain line (Y/n) said to them then came to mind. 'YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME!' Heartbreak set inside him when he realized that was probably the case now. "(Y/n), can I..." Rigby began. "Not now, Rigby." (Y/n) said, she appeared to be writing something down, and he sighs and gave up. "What're you writing there?" Mordecai asked. "Something that I think might help you win." (Y/n) smirks, and the duo look at each other in confusion.
~Meanwhile~
Muscle Man and Fives walk in a place called The Side Line. "This place has the best sides." Someone has an order of two big sides and small bowls of small sides. "Even the sides got sides." Muscle Man and Fives approach the front desk. "Muscle Man!" Billie said. "Yo, Billie!" They hi five. Bille chuckles. "What can I get you, bro?" He asked. Muscle Man points at the menu. "This one. Mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, stuffing, yams and greens for 50." He said.
"Aw, yeah. The Hail Mary platter." Bille goes to the kitchen. "Got it, brosive." Muscle Man and Fives start watching tv. "And now back to the top End Zones dances of all time. #4, Brock Stettman!" They are shpwn Stettman doing an end zone dance. "Man, who made this list? Stettman's dances are lame." Muscle Man said. "Hey Stettman, who taught you those moves? A dead cat?" Fives asked, and Muscle Man and Fives laugh. "You know who else had the better end zone dance? My—" someone places a hand on his shoulder. "Mom?" He asked. "Brock Stettman will crush you."
~Meanwhile~
"Look, there's one left." Skips said. There's one turkey in the freezer. Benson, Pops and Skips walk up to it. "Oh, thank goodness." Benson said, and takes the turkey. "The last turkey." The three walk away. "Wow, how fortunate." A pilgrim, an Indian and a man dressed in a turkey costume are watching them from an aisle. The pilgrim looks at his list, and it is evident that these three need a turkey, too. After paying for the turkey, Pops, Benson and Skips head back to the car. The three characters from earlier show up. "Good morning, fine sirs. Pretty pardon, would you like some help putting that turkey into your car?" He asked. "Oh, no. We're fine." The turkey character punches Pops, then takes the turkey. The pilgrim, indian and turkey character rush into their truck and drive off. Benson and Skips help Pops. "Pops, are you ok?" Benson asked. "That turkey stole our turkey!" Pops shouted.
~Meanwhile~
(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are being held up by traffic. Mordecai and (Y/n) groan as Rigby checks the sign. They are 10 minutes away from the farm. "Dudes, we're never gonna make it!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) sighs and starts to exit the traffic. "Whoa! Hey! What are you doing?!" Rigby asked. "I got an idea." She said. (Y/n) knocks on the door of Sam's house. "Why are we coming here, (Y/n)?" He asked. "You'll see." Sam's dad opens the door. "(Y/n)!" He said happily. "What's Sam's dad doing here?" Rigby asked. "You guys wanna come in? We got plenty to eat." He offered. "No, thanks, we need a favor. Without your help, our Thanksgiving will be ruined." (Y/n) said. "Denise, wrap up some turkey sandwiches. Daddy's gotta save Thanksgiving." He said. The gang are now helicopter flying off.
~Meanwhile~
"Brock Stettman will crush you." Brock has a smile. "In an end zone dance-off!" He said. "Huh?" Muscle Man asked. Everyone cheers as Muscle Man and Brock Stettman get in their positions. "Ball me, James." James gives Brock a football. Muscle Man stares at Brock as he perform his end zone dance. Brock concludes with a football throwdown. Everyone cheers. "Beat that!" He said. "Pssh. Easy." Muscle Man picks up football and starts mimicking those moves.
"Well, bless my pigskin. He's doing the typewriter. Oh, snap! Now he's sealing an envelope. Sending a letter, receiving a letter. Taking it up the river. Going for the full split!" Brock said. When Muscle Man splits, he hurts himself and squeals. Everyone is surprised. Fives goes over to him as he groans. "My hammie, bro." Muscle Man said. Brock takes the football from Muscle Man. "Lesson learned. Brock Stettman is the king of end zone dancing! Whoo!" He throws the football down, and it bounces. Billie comes back with the order of sides. "Muscle Man, your sides are.." The football smashes into the platter, destroying it. Brock, Muscle Man and Fives are shocked. "Ready." Bille said. "Oh no, bro." Muscle Man falls back and squeals.
~Meanwhile~
The pilgrim, indian and turkey are driving off with the turkey. The indian checks the mirror and sees Benson, Pops and Skips in hot pursuit of the turkey. "We got company." Carmenita appears on the left side of the truck. "Give us back the turkey!" Benson shouted. "Baste 'em." The turkey character opens the left side door. Benson, Pops and Skips gasp, and he uses a flamethrower on the three,
who scream but are able to evade the fire. The turkey stops as he notices a truck heading for the other. The indian quickly swerves, but the turkey flies out of the pilgrim's hands. Skips catches it just as the oncoming truck drives in between. The indian's truck suddenly stutters on it's front wheel, starting an oil slick. "No!" The truck rolls away and explodes. "Ha, yes!" Benson said, looking back. The thanksgiving characters have survived the explosion and are running toward them.
"Hup two, hup two, hup two..." they said. "What the..." The Indian jumps onto Carmenita and fights over the turkey with Skips. "This turkey is ours!" Skips pulls the turkey away, but he leans down on Pops, who turns the car, causing both the turkey and the indian to fall off onto the road. Carmenita continues to swerve as Benson, Pops and Skips are about to crash into a BuckMart sign.
They scream. Pops puts the brakes on Carmenita, just in time. "Quick, the turkey!" Skips shouted. Benson, Pops, Skips, and the Thanksgiving characters approach the turkey, only for it to be run over by a moped driver. Benson turns red and winces. "URRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Frank's helicopter is passing by at that moment. (Y/n) is writing something down on paper as the duo perform what they have so far.
" ♪Chomp chomp! Chomp chomp! Football, football, fall asleep on couch. Slip into food coma!♪" the duo said. "Criminy, that's all you got?" Frank asked. "Well, and also...." Rigby spoonbones and Mordecai stops him. "Boys, it's gonna take more than silverware to win this contest. You have to sing from the heart. Plus, you still need to figure out that first line." Frank said. "Yeah, you're right." Mordecai said. "At least all the other contestants so far aren't very good." Rigby said. Farmer Jimmy appears on the copter screen. "Ok, unless there are some other contestants after this, we're down to our last entry! Everybody welcome, Rich Buckner!"
Rich comes riding on the stage. The audience gasps. "Rich Buckner." They said. "Rich Buckner?!" Mordecai, Rigby and Frank asked, and (Y/n) stops from her writing for a second to look at them with concern. "Now, I know what's going through your head: "That's Rich Buckner. He's the richest man in the world. What's he doing here!" Well, I love Thanksgiving, so I paid the best musicians in the world to write this song." Rich said. "That sounds like it'll be good!" Jimmy said.
"It is. And remember, shop at BuckMart for all your Thanksgiving needs." Rich rides off to the side of the stage. Farmer Jimmy walks off the stage as music begins to play, and spotlights and smoke appear on the stage. Everyone is amazed. Multi-lights appear from the sides. "Alright everybody, we're about to drop the true meaning of Thanksgiving on y'all!" A hologram of the American flag is shown. "It's the American flag! It's the American flag!" Three shadows appears in the smoke. A spotlight shines on the first one as she sings.
You're freezing cold, chilly and pimply, on this cold Thanksgiving's Eve!
Guy: Pop sensation Jennifer!
A spotlight appears on the third shadow.
Auto T.: Caress your body, butter your skin, bake in over for 100 degrees!
Guy: Aw, snap! Auto T.!
Spotlight appears on the middle shadow.
Dusty B: Baby, seeing you roast in there, my heart fills with pride.
Twins: (scream) Dusty B!
All 3: Where else but America, can we feast on your meat?
Rich Buckner nods at his performance. Jennifer, Auto and Dusty move to the sides as dozen of familiar characters appear on the stage.
Everyone: When you're eating a turkey, you're eating America! When you chew on some sides, you're chewing on freedom! Thanksgiving Day in the USA, when you're chewing on freedom!
Background characters dance and musicians play.
Everyone: Baste the turkey, stuffing is good with Buckner breading carrots and peas. (We are shown a blimp promoting BuckMart. The crowd likes it. Turkey's tender, sides are perfect, Buckner products we did it with ease. Let's give thanks to Richard Buckner and bow down gratefully!" 4 Pilgrims come to the middle of the stage and revive someone. "Let's eat this bird patriodically, as a family!"
Back at the plane...
"Popular music stars, laser flags, reviving the dead! You better come up with something fast!" Freak said. "I have something!" (Y/n) shouted, and the trio quickly look over at her. "Huh?" They asked. "I've been working on this song since we left. It's not quite done yet but I've come up with a few versus." She said, holding the papers. "My word. You write music?" Frank asked, sounding shocked. "I mean... not usually, I have come up with my own lyrics before while rapping with these two,
this is the first actual song I've written. It's an apology song, sort of." (Y/n) said, and the duo cringe a little at that. "Apology song?" Rigby asked, and she nods. "Yeah, you know, for ruining Thanksgiving? If you two perform this, not only will you have a chance at being forgiven, but it also has the true message of the meaning of Thanksgiving. People will love this song." (Y/n) said. "Look, no offense (Y/n), but if this is the first song you've ever written how is it going to be good?" Rigby asked worriedly. "He uh... he kind of has a point, (Y/n). And we really need to win this contest." Mordecai said, and (Y/n) turns angry.
"Are you serious?! You two are the ones who asked for my help in the first place! And now you're gonna turn me down without even looking at it?!" She asked furiously. "(Y/n), we..." (Y/n) angrily tosses the papers at them and they flinch. "Fine! But don't bother asking me for anymore help! I'm done helping you morons." She storms off, and the duo sigh. "Whoa. Look, I don't know what just happened but I'm sensing some tension between you both and her." Frank said, and Rigby sighs. "It's all my fault." He said, and Frank raises an eyebrow.
"We got into an argument earlier and I said some things I shouldn't have." Rigby said with regret. "Oh... why haven't you just apologized?" Frank asked. "I've tried to! But she keeps shutting me down!" Rigby shouted angrily. "Well yeah, dude. You really hurt her. I don't know if I'd want to talk to you if you said those things to me." Mordecai said. "Wait, you mean like, ever?! Would you really stop being friends with me?" Rigby asked. "Wait! I didn't say that! Look.
Let's not make this about us, okay? This is about (Y/n). You need to make things right with her, Rigby." Mordecai said. "I know. But how can I when she won't even let me apologize?" Rigby asked. Mordecai's eyes then trail over to the song she wrote, and Rigby catches on as he looks down at them. The duo then frown at each other. " ...When you chew on some sides, you're chewing on freedom! Thanksgiving day in the USA! When you're chewiiiing...." Everyone in the crowd said. "Ooooooonnnnnn!" Dusty B said.
"Freeeeeee....doooooooooooom!" A man glides in with an American banner. A bunch of guys tackle him. Two cars jump off ramps and crash into each other. Fire machile brighten the stage, followed by 3 jets. The song finishes there. The audience cheers. Rich comes back on the stage, and exits everyone off. Farmer Jimmy appears witth his prized turducken. "Oh, my stars! Well, unless someone's gonna come down here in the next few seconds, Mr. Buckner, I am proud to award you."
Rich notices Frank's jet. "My one-of-a-kind, blue ribbon, prize-winning..." he said. "Stooooooop!" Rigby shouted. Mordecai pulls the rope ladder, and he and Rigby climb down it onto the stage. The duo wave as the jet flies off. "Our names are Mordecai and Rigby, and we got a song too!" Mordecai shouted. "It's too late." Rich said. "Just hold on there, Richard. They made it in just under the wire." Jimmy said. "What?!" Rich asked. "The pilgrims took a chance coming to the new world. Let's take a chance on these fellas." Jimmy said. "Let them play! Let them play!" The audience shouted. "Ugh, fine!" Rich walks off. "Well, Mordecai and Rigby, the stage is yours." Jimmy pulls the turducken off the stage.
"Ah, dude, I still don't know what the first line is!" Rigby said. "Just go with the 'pumpkin and stuffing' line." Mordecai said. "Alright." Mordecai and Rigby are about to take their microphones, when Mordecai takes a call. "Mordecai and Rigby, come in. It's Thomas." Thomas said. "Thomas?" They asked. "What the heck happened between you and (Y/n)?" He demanded. "What do you mean?" Rigby asked. "She just called me saying she was going to quit working at the park!" Thomas shouted, and this stunned the duo into shocked silence. "Quit?!" They asked.
"Yeah, quit! As in leave! I don't know what's going on between you guys but you need to fix this! The park isn't complete without her!" Thomas shouted. "Oh also, there's been a delay. Your families' flights won't be getting in till tomorrow. I'm so sorry." Mordecai and Rigby are shocked again. "They're not gonna make it for Thanksgiving." This is echoed in their minds. Mordecai drops the walkie-talkie and sighs. "I can't believe it. We just lost (Y/n)..." Rigby drops the paper. "I'm outta here." He said. "Yes!" Rich said. Rigby starts to walk off, but Mordecai signals him to stop. "No dude, not yet we haven't." He said. "Rigby, wait. Don't you see? I know how we can fix all of this. We need to play (Y/n)'s song." Mordecai said. "Will that really keep her from leaving?" Rigby asked. "It's worth a shot." Mordecai said.
Rigby looks at him, then nods at him with determination, and walks back. Mordecai takes his mic. "Today was a hard day for us, and well..." he gulps. "We really hope you like our song. Its actually a song our best friend (Y/n) wrote." He sighs and begins to sing. "We wrecked our turkey on Thanksgiving Day, knocked onto the floor and it burst into flames. Without a turkey we were freaking out, but that's not what it's really all about." Guitarist starts to play, and nods his head signaling Rigby to sing, who nods back. "Sure it's great to have all that food, but really what puts you in a better mood," all of Mordecai and Rigby's friends are watching,
including (Y/n), who smiles. "Who is sitting down next to your best buddies and having quality time with your family. A drummer joins in. "Things are bound to go wrong maybe once or twice. Who cares if the dog ate all the sides?" Mordecai sung. "We all must put our differences aside. It's only one day so we have to try." Rigby continued. "It's not about stuffing or gravy, all the food is bonus, now don't you see? For one day a year all is forgiven..." Mordecai and Rigby sung together. "Oh, Rigby!" Twins said. "...when we come together on Thanksgiving." Farmer Jimmy claps along while Rich glances at the audience and grunts before walking away.
"When we come together on Thanksgiving...." The audience members hug. Rigby gets them to clap along. "When we come together on Thanksgiving." A spotlight is shone on Rigby as he starts spoonboning. "Oh whoa, what are you thankful for?" "Thanksgiving!" The audience said. "Spoonboning!" A man's eyes water. "What are you thankful for?" The duo asked. "Thanksgiving!" The audience said. "What are you thankful for? Oh whoa..." (Y/n), Benson, Pops and Skips are touched. "I forgive you." Benson said. "Oh whoa, what are you thankful for?" "Thanksgiving!" Another guitarist takes off his shirt and plays a finishing riff. "What are you thankful for?" "Thanksgiving!" "What are you thankful for?"
They look at each other panting as the song ends and smile at each other. The audience cheers. "That was awesome!" A man embraces his family. "I love you guys! I'm so thankful that my whole family looks exactly like me!" He said. (Y/n) quickly runs over to the duo and hugs them, which catches them off guard at first, but they hug her back. "Hey (Y/n)?" Rigby asked. "Yeah?" She asked. "Look, I... I'm really sorry about what I said earlier. I was a jerk. You are our best friend, and sure, our friendship started because Benson asked you to watch us, but that doesn't matter. You're still one of us, (Y/n), and we love you." Rigby said. (Y/n) smiles, then hugs them both as they hug her back again. "I love you guys too." She said, and Rigby sheds tears of joy as their friends watch with satisfaction.
"Well, I do declare! It seems to me as though we have a new winner!" The audience cheers for Mordecai and Rigby again, along with Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Brock Stettman and the Skycats, Benson, Pops, Skips and the Thanksgiving characters. "Yeah!" Mordecai said. "Yeah-yuh!" Rigby said. They hi five. Farmer Jimmy goes to them with the turducken. "Mordecai and Rigby, your song captured the true spirit of Thanksgiving.
And I hereby present you with the grand prize of Farmer Jimmy's honest-to-goodness turducken!" The turducken is snagged by a grappling hook, and everyone gasps and screams as it is being carried up into Rich Buckner's blimp. Rich laughs. "Hey, what are you doing?! That's their turducken!" (Y/n) shouted angrily. The turducken goes inside the blimp. "I tried to buy it from him but he wouldn't let me. So I spent millions on the perfect song. Your friend's lame song is from the heart! That doesn't cost anything!" He shouted. "Give us our turducken!"
Rigby shouted. "I'm afraid I can't do that. But we might have an extra turkey laying around somewhere," Rich pulls out a turkey. "Oh, hey! Looks like we do! Here ya" he throws the turkey. "Go! " The turkey falls apart when it hits the ground, and hits Rigby, who screams. "Clean up on aisle six!" He starts dancing and whooping as the blimp gets away. "What are we gonna do?!"
A gust of wind brushes through (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby as Frank and his helicopter arrives. "Grab on, guys. We got a bad guy to catch." (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby run to the rope ladder and grab on as the helicopter heads toward the BuckMart blimp. Benson, Pops, Skips and the Thanksgiving characters are watching this. "This is an outrage! That girl's song was the embodiment of all that holds true and dear about Thanksgiving." The pilgrim shouted. "And that's why we're gonna help them get that turducken back! Now are you with us or not?" Benson asked. "It would be our honor."
Back at Side Line...
"Hey, Muscle Man, I got the team jet parked outside with my entire defensive line on it. What do you say we go intercept that turducken?" Brock asked. "I say game on, bro." Muscle Man is wearing the team shirt. He takes it off and spins it as he whoops. The jet closes and the team takes off. (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby and Frank have just about reached it. Frank attaches a zipline onto the blimp.
(Y/n) shakes his hand before her, and she, Mordecai and Rigby head down wearing their harnesses, and get on the blimp. They burst through the door. Rich is sitting at a table complete with a Thanksgiving feast, along with the turducken. "Hand over the turducken!" (Y/n) shouted. "(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby. Have a seat." They do so. "You may be wondering why a billionaire wants this turducken so much." Rich said.
"I don't know. Does it taste really good or something?" Mordecai asked. "You really think I'm gonna eat this? You don't know anything, do you? It's true that just one is born every million years, but what no one knows..." Rich sticks his hand inside the turducken, grossing out (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby. He pulls out a wishbone, made of solid gold. ..."Is that it has a golden wishbone! One that actually grants wishes!" He said. "But what could you possibly wish for? You're a billionaire!" (Y/n) shouted.
"The one thing that my attorneys tell me I can't buy: the rights to Thanksgiving!" They gasp as he goes to his fireplace. "I run a successful business, employ thousands. Do I ever get the thanks? Giving? No. Everyone's too busy with their families. Soon they will all have to thank me!" Rich moves the chair aside. "Thanksgiving, brought to you by BuckMart." He said. "No!" The trio tackle him down. "Go!" Rich kicks them away. "Spoonboning!" Rigby said. "Huh!" Rigby spoonbones toward him. "No! No!" Mordecai grabs the wishbone. The Skycats jet flying directly over the BuckMart blimp. "Air tackle the blimp! Go! Go! Go!"
Three team members tackle at his marks. Brock stands by him. "Alright, Stettman. Let's see some fancy footwork out there." He and Stettman whoop as they tackle down the blimp together. The three team members tackle the blimp, but fail to make a cut. Muscle Man uses his cleats to rip three holes in the blimp. Rich is still fighting (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby for the wishbone when they notice Muscle Man cheering through the window. They resume fighting. Pops, Benson,
Skips and the Thanksgiving characters ride Carmenita toward the blimp. The indian fires 3 arrows at it, causing the blimp to catch on fire and heading toward the bridge. The pilots are heading toward flying the blimp. "Abandon ship!" They run out of the blimp and escape via parachute. The fight inside continues as Rich has the wishbone and he kicks Mordecai away. "Finally, Thanksgiving is gonna be mine!" Rigby tries to grab the wishbone while (Y/n) punches Rich in the face. "Ugh! Get offa me! Ahhh!" He shouted. "You can take what you want, but you could never take Thanksgiving from us!" (Y/n) shouted.
"Oh yeah? Well, I've got a golden wishbone right here that says otherwise!" Rich kicks (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby out, who scream while falling. Rich laughs. "Thanks for shopping at BuckMart!" He holds up what appears to be the wishbone. "I wish for Thanksgiving to be mine! And another billion dollars in an untraceable Swiss bank account!" He breaks it apart, but immediately discovers it wasn't the wishbone, but Rigby's spoons. "Nooooo!" He notices the blimp about to crash into the bridge. "NOOOOOOOO!" The blimp explodes. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are still in freefall, and are revealed to be holding the wishbone.
"We wish to be safe at home with our friends and family! Now!" They try to break it apart. "Why isn't it breaking?!" Rigby asked. "'Cause it's soild gold, man! Here, try this!" (Y/n) moves to a sitting position. "Okay!" Her best friends do the same. "Pull harder!" Mordecai shouted. Rigby grunts as he pulls. They pull, and finally the wishbone breaks apart, and the three disappear with a puff of smoke.
They reappear in front of Pops' house, falling with a thud. Pops, Benson, Skips and the Thanksgiving characters fly down to them. "What happened?" Benson asked worriedly. "The golden wishbone. We wished to come back home safe and sound, and it worked!" (Y/n) said. "Well, almost. It didn't grant the part where our families would be here." Rigby said. They look down in sadness. Thomas runs out of the house at that moment. "Guys, guys! Remember when I said everyone wasn't coming? I was wrong!"
Mordecai and Rigby's parents start coming out. "I checked the departing flights instead of the arrivals." He said. "Thomas!" Everyone scolded. "Hey, Mordo!" "Hi son." Mordecai's parents said. "Is that grown man over there my Rigby?" Rigby's mother asked. "Come here, Rigby!" Mordecai and Rigby run up to them. "Mom! Pop!" Rigby said. "It's so good to see you guys! Except, well..." Mordecai said.
"There's no food because we destroyed it all." Rigby said. "Well, that's what families are for." He opens the door and (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are surprised; a new Thanksgiving feast has been prepared by all the families. "Woah!" The trio said. "Who's ready for some turkey?" Thomas' mom asked, holding a turkey. Rigby's mom then turns to (Y/n). "Oh, and you must be (Y/n). Rigby's told us so much about you." She smiles, and she blushes, and Rigby does too from embarrassment. "MOM!" He shouted, and his parents laugh.
Later, everyone is at the feast. All the performers, footballers and Thanksgiving characters, as well as some friends, have joined everyone. Some people are chatting, until Benson taps a glass of cold watr with a spoom. "Ahem!" Benson clears his throat. "Oh? Hey, everybody! Pipe down! Go ahead, son." His father said. "I just wanna thank everyone for coming. Thanksgiving can be a hectic time for many. But to see everyone here makes it all worth it in the end.
Mordecai and Rigby, would you please stand up?" They do so. "I know you guys aren't perfect, pretty much all the time. But I want you to know that I'm proud of you. You saved Thanksgiving! And for that, I raise my glass." Mordecai and Rigby look at each other. "Happy Thanksgiving, everyone." Benson said. "Happy Thanksgiving!" Everyone shouted. The turkey is being sliced, Thomas finally takes off his Halloween costume, jumping in joy, Muscle Man and his family fill up, people pass food to one another, and Rigby teaches the performers his spoonboning. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby look at each other and high five.
