Chapter Text
The sound of birds chirping peacefully at the Park, as the wind swayed through the leaves, greeting every one of them personally. It was a calm, relaxing day. The crew were off doing their daily chores, each of them not speaking a word as they let the calm fill the air. It was nice to have such a beautiful day for once. Nothing could ruin this.
"WOOOOAAAAAH!"
A sudden burst of "woahs" struck through the park, causing the peace to shrivel immediately. Mordecai and Rigby sat inside of the house, playing some sort of videogame as they both cheered in unison. They were hunched up, glaring at the TV as a wave of focus washed over them, causing them to glue their eyes to the screen. Rigby grunted in frustration, before spamming the buttons on his controller.
"I'm so gonna beat you this time, man! Just watch!" He said half-heartedly, trying to keep his focus as he let out some banter.
"No way, man. You've never even won against the bot on easy mode." Mordecai replied, his focus less than Rigby's as his confidence was significantly higher. He mashed the controller buttons, moving the joystick around rapidly before hitting one more defeating button. "Boom!"
"GAH! That was rigged! The controller broke or something, I swear! I was doing so good!"
"Dude... I'm at full health." Mordecai deadpanned.
"Stop talking!" Rigby screeched, throwing his controller onto the table out of anger.
Footsteps interrupted Rigby's fit of rage as someone walked down the stairs behind them. Mordecai looked behind him to see none other than Thomas, walking down the stairs before stepping towards the two, looking at the TV.
"Hey guys!" The goat greeted, putting his hand up in a wave.
"Yo, Thomas! What's up? I haven't seen you in a while." Mordecai smiled as he kept his eyes glued to a screen. He suddenly shoved Rigby with his elbow as he was playing without him. "Don't start another round, bozo."
"Oof! Ow!" Rigby whimpered.
"Oh yeah... I've just been doing a lot of duties lately for Benson. He's been really demanding after I got your statue back. But, it's been worth it." Thomas said, scratching the back of his head as he explained his absence. He then looked over to the screen, eyeing their game with curiosity.
Meanwhile, Mordecai and Rigby were completely into their game, not really quite processing what the intern was saying.
"Yep, that's great!" Mordecai said as his full attention was on the game. With one exaggerated click of a button, an explosion would burst on the screen. "BOOM!'
He looked over to Rigby and grinned at him. "Hm hm hm hm hmhm."
"SHUT UP! It was lag! LAG!" Rigby squeaked back, his anger rising as Mordecai boasted.
Thomas chuckles quietly to himself as he watched the two bicker, his hand on his lips.
