"What's the matter?" Margaret asked. "Uhh, we're out of snacks. You both stay here, I'll be right back." Sam gives Eileen the pair of binoculars as he runs down the hill leading to Margaret's car. "Okay, but hurry! I think they're entering the Mesosphere!" Eileen shouted. Sam gets in Margaret's car. "What's up, dudes? Taken down by all the tongue-wrestling yet with (Y/n)?" Sam asked, and Rigby glares at him. "Dude, knock it off! We haven't kissed her yet. We still haven't confessed!" Mordecai said. "Yeah, well what have you been doing?" Sam asked. "Talking. We're having a serious conversation." Rigby said. "Talking huh? Sounds like what people do in the friend zone." Sam said. "Stop it with the friend zone! There's no such thing!" Mordecai shouted. "Look dudes, stop wasting time! You have a great chance tonight! Don't blow it like you always do!" Sam scolded. "We're working on it, lay off!" Rigby snapped. "Stop working on it and start confessing!" Sam shouted. Mordecai and Rigby get out of the car. "Before the door closes!" Rigby closes the car door and Sam grunts. "Where are those chips?" He asked.

Mordecai and Rigby go to (Y/n) with the paper towels. "Hey, hey! Clean up on aisle (Y/n)!" Rigby said, then laughs at his own joke. "Thanks!" (Y/n) gets a paper towel and wipes herself then she starts shivering. "Man, it got cold huh?" She asked. "Hehe. Yeah." Mordecai is seeing the chance to set it up. 'Put your arm around her. Put your arm around her!" Unfortunately, this doesn't go as planned. "Uhh, you could...wear a bunch of these paper towels!" Mordecai rips off pieces of paper towels. "Like it makeshift quilt! Haha." And Rigby face palms. "Or a terrible DIY project." Rigby said. He throws the paper towels to her and it flows down to her. Mordecai is obviously face palming in his mind. "Hehe...yeah." (Y/n) said. 'Ugh! What is wrong with you? How long is it gonna take for you to finally tell her?' Mordecai scolds himself. Sam is watching them with the binoculars. "Dudes, come on! Just kiss her already!" Sam shouted. "(Y/n), we're friends right?" Rigby asked "Yeah we're friends." (Y/n) said. "So, we can tell you anything right?" Mordecai asked. "Of course." (Y/n) said, and Rigby sighs. "The thing is (Y/n), we... we-" before Rigby could finish, an asteroid comes out of nowhere.

The trio are surprised as it nearly kills them. "Ahh!" The trio screamed. "It's beautiful!" Eileen shouted. "I can't take this anymore! MORDECAI! RIGBY!! FRIEND ZONE! FRIEND ZONE! FRIEND ZONE!" Sam got their attention. "FRIEND ZONE! FRIEND ZONE!" He shouted. "Why is he saying "friend zone"?" (Y/n) asked curiously. "Dude, quit it!" Mordecai shouted. "NO!! I can't stand this anymore! You're not gonna mess this up again, man! Just go for it!" Sam shouted. Everyone in their car plead to the duo to do it. "We just need more time!" Rigby shouted. "There is no more time! Dudes, I'm just trying to save you from the friend zone!" Sam shouted. "Dude! For the last time, there is no friend zone!"

Suddenly, the meteor shower goes around (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby and zaps them into 2 green quadrilateral moving surfaces. Mordecai and Rigby bang on the surface. "(Y/n)?!" They asked. She can't hear them but is scared like they are. "(Y/n)!" The duo shouted. "She can't hear you! You guys are just friends." The giant head said. "Huh?" The duo asked. "Welcome, Mordecai and Rigby. I'm the Guardian of the Friend Zone." He said. "What?? The friend zone's not a real place!" Rigby snapped. "Aw but it is, a place of friendly handshakes, back pats, side hugs, a pletonic relm where romance goes to die." The guardian said. "Let us out!" Rigby shouted. "We don't wanna be here!" Mordecai shouted. "I'm sorry Mordecai and Rigby. You waited too long." The guardian said. "NOO!! No! We wanted to tell her so many times. But, we never got a good opening." Rigby said.

"Aw, but you did." He zaps a few clips from "Camping Can Be Cool","Death Bear" & "Do or Diaper" where Mordecai and Rigby had a chance to tell her. "Each time, you two hesitated. You let all those opportunities past." He unzaps them away. "You just didn't believe in yourselves. You must be brave enough to show your true feelings. Only then, you will be freed out of the friend zone." The guardian said. "It's just... we've liked (Y/n) for so long. What if she's not into us?" Mordecai asked. "Aw, see that? "What if"? It's time you stop wondering "what if" and you just went for it.

Then you'll know how much she feels about you." The guardian said. "How do you know? You're just a floating talking asteroid thing." Rigby snapped. "Believe it or not, I too was in this very situation. Many times, Angie, Christine, Lola. HOW DO YOU THINK I ENDED UP BECOMING THE GUARDIAN OF THE FRIEND ZONE?! LOOK, I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP YOU TWO, FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!" The guardian shouted. "THEN LET US OUT!!" Mordecai grunts and bangs on the surface in regret. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, chill out! That friendship glass is expensive! Look, I'm gonna give you another chance alright. But you better not back out." The guardian said.

"No, no. We swear we'll do it." Rigby said. "Haha, okay, go get her champs." He zaps (Y/n)'s glass so the three can hear and speak to each other. "Guys, where are we?" (Y/n) asked. Mordecai and Rigby walk over to (Y/n) and the 2 glasses are now formed as a hexagon. "(Y/n), we need to tell you something." Rigby began, and she looks at him. "Tell me what, Rigby?" She asked, and he sighs. "(Y/n), this is gonna be so hard for us to say, and maybe hard for you to believe, but... look, Mordecai and I... we... we..." Rigby looks at Mordecai and he nods. "We love you!"

Rigby shouted, and her eyes widened in shock. "You two... love me?" She asked. "Yes! And we didn't want to say anything because we thought if we told you, it would ruin our friendship with you and you wouldn't want to be our friend anymore." Mordecai said as he shed a few tears, and (Y/n) frowns. "The thing is (Y/n)," Rigby said, shifting her attention back to him. "We've felt like this since we both first laid eyes on you. And I'm not a little kid, I know you don't just fall in love at first sight, but... our love for you has only gotten stronger the more we're together." Rigby smiles at her a bit, then it fades. "But... you love Sam, and Sam loves you. That's another reason we kept pushing our feelings aside. We didn't find telling you our true feelings necessary." Rigby said. "So... all of those times you've both acted like jerks towards me when Sam was involved.... was because of jealously..." (Y/n) trails off, 'huh, Margaret and Eileen were right after all...' she thought to herself, and the duo sigh. "Yes." Rigby said.

"And we're sorry. We just wanted you to feel the same way we do but... we know who you love, and it isn't us." Mordecai said. (Y/n) frowns, but then quickly hugs the duo and they gasp in surprise. "Boys, I'm glad you told me." She said. "You.. you are?" Rigby asked. "I would never stop being friends with you, you're my best friends. You have no idea how important you both are to me." (Y/n) said, and Mordecai chuckles a little. "We might have some idea." He said, and she giggles. "Plus, do you have any idea how boring life would be without you guys?" (Y/n) asked.

"Ha! It would be SUPER boring!" Rigby said smugly, and (Y/n) chuckles. "So... we're still friends?" Rigby asked hopefully, and (Y/n) smiles at him, then hugs them both again and they hug back. "Of course. Friends forever." She said. "Yeah, friends forever." Mordecai said. The hexagon breaks as they float down to the ground and Sam is watching. "Freakin finally!" He shouted. "Uh, it's getting late. We should probably take off." (Y/n) said. "Did you see it? Did you see it? What did you think? What did you think?" Eileen asked. "It was amazing." (Y/n) and her best friends smile at each other. "Man, wait until my astronomy club hears about this! I've never seen celestial bodies come together like that." Eileen said. Sam, Eileen and Margaret start walking away talking about the meteor shower. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby stay behind, and help pack up the cooler while another meteor flows above them.
