Feathery Tips

Mordecai and Margaret Years Back

"Uh, nothing, sorry, see ya" Mordecai sighing

Idiot! Oh great! Now she is sighing! How-

Wait! It takes me a moment to realize

She kissing me! I...can't believe it!

My heart beats faster as her feathery tips fall onto my shoulders

If only she knew how many years I've been waiting for this moment!

It takes me far back, we were both freshman at the time. Of course, Rigby was there. I remember after the first day of high school me and Rigby left to go get hot dogs.

"Dude! I told you they were open!" Rigby smiled.

"Yea, whatever." I replied.

"I can't wait to try that chili cheese dog!" Rigby added.

I nodded my head and looked at the sign. Me and Rigby ordered our hot dogs and walked back to our neighborhood. The last thing I remembered was seeing some stupid-looking car that got my attention before I bumped into someone and fell. "Oh, sorry!" I said before I lifted my head up. The first thing I saw was her scarlet feathers upon her beautiful face, the next thing I saw...well that was my hot dog all over her outfit. I nudged Rigby's shoulder hard.

"Dude! Give me your napkin!" I snapped but kept my voice low

"What?! No! I'm using it for the chili that keeps falling on my fur!" Rigby protested

I knew I couldn't look bad in front of this girl I had just met. I ripped the napkin away from Rigby and gave to her.

"Here! Well...it's only one napkin, ha ha" I said awkwardly, I felt my face turn warm, and I could tell my face was bright red.

"Oh! Thanks! Very much!" she had said, "I'm Margaret."

"I'm Mor-Mor- Mordecai! Sorry I just had something up my throat!" I remembered mentally face-palming myself, yes it's true, I was more nervous and weird around her than I am now, you probably didn't think that was possible.

After she found more napkins nearby and cleaned herself up, she came up to me.

"Thanks, Mordecai!" Margaret said kindly.

"Um...you look nice, you going somewhere?" I had asked.

"Oh, I was just going on a date with my boyfriend" she had said. I felt like I had been kicked in the chest when she said that.

She had left, and at that time I almost forgot Rigby was there.

"Hello? Is Mordecai there?" Rigby said to me while poking my arm.

"What?!" I had said startled, and I accidentally slapped Rigby in the face.

"DUDE!" Rigby hissed.

"Sorry! I just..." I started staring into space, thinking of Margaret.

"Why are you so unfocused, man? It's weird" Rigby said. At that point, I think Rigby put two and two together, cause the next thing he said was "You like her!"

But then he smiled and said "You acted like a total loser!" then he cracked and stated laughing.

"Whatever, you don't know anything about love" I replied quickly. "Says the guy that's been in love for like, 20 minutes" Rigby shot back at me. I decided at that point I wanted to tease him. "Whatever dude, the point is, you're next" I said trying to manage not to laugh.

But years went by and I never saw Margaret again, and I've regretted not telling her how I felt right there, and I started believing that she was out of my life forever. One day, I finally saw Margaret again at the coffee shop, and I felt so excited that Rigby pulled me out of the coffee shop as soon as we got in.

Her lips are still on mine

May this moment last-

But then she lets go, and my eyes widen

"See you soon!" She said as she walked away...

"Uh...Bye" I whispered, almost speechless.

I walked right out of the airport as soon as she left, I stared at the ground, ready to burst in pure joy and victory...
