Mordecai and Rigby sit in their dorm room, Mordecai reading through a newspaper and Rigby playing a game, when the lightbulb illuminating the room went out.
Augh… Dude, our light went out.
Yeah, I noticed. Skeletor would kill us if we asked for a new one.
Whaaa?! Dude, you don’t understand. Life isn’t fun without some risks here and there!
Risks? I’d rather not die because of a lightbulb, dude.
I didn’t expect you to be that much of a coward.
Feel free to go ahead and ask Skeletor then, dude. If you die, that’s on you.
Jeez, fine! It’ll go sooooo smoothly, just you wai—
Loud honking started to echo through the diner. Mordecai continued to read his newspaper, even with the lights turned off.
W-Wow! The hell’s going on outside?
Didn’t you say everything was gonna go “smoothly?”
Oh, shut it! It can’t be that bad, anyways—
Rigby opened the door. The Murderous Goose was right outside, kicking a large bulb around with its feet, while it held a knife in its beak.
Hey, look, Mordecai! The goose has a lightbulb!
Dude, that thing’s gonna kill you if you try taking the lightbulb.
What? Look, it’s completely harmless!
Honk.
Whoa, whoa, dude! D-Don’t do anything you’ll regret.
The Goose honked again. Footsteps came into the hallway, making Rigby look — Niko was running towards the Goose, their face filled with worry.
H-Hey! Bring that back! I need that!
The Goose honked at Niko before running away. Niko gave chase, while Rigby stood back and watched.
Aren’t you gonna go after it?
Sheesh, fine!
Rigby ran after the Goose and Niko. The three of them kept going up and down the stairs, Mordecai occasionally watching as they passed in front of the still-open door.
G-Give me that!
Niko and the Goose ran into a corner. Niko grabbed at the lightbulb, which the Goose tried to hold back with its feet.
I-I need it! Please!
The Goose honked aggressively in response, and Rigby saw an opportunity.
Let go!
That bulb’s mine!
Rigby jumped right between Niko and the Goose, scaring both. He grabbed the lightbulb and ran back to his and Mordecai's dorm room, Niko giving chase. The Goose already wandered off to another segment of the diner.
Hey, I need that!
Mordecai! Mordecai! I got it!
Took you a while, dude.
Cut it out! Now all I gotta do is screw it in, and—
Y-You don’t know what you’re doing! Give that back!
It’s just a lightbulb, cat ears! What could go wrong?
Mordecai grabbed a stepladder and dragged it below the light, and Rigby ran up it and unscrewed the burnt light.
Please!
And heeeere weeee-
Rigby screwed in the lightbulb he stole from Niko. It immediately shut off, and the diner began to shake, making Rigby fall from the stepladder.
W-Woah, what's going on?!
Niko climbed up the stepladder and unscrewed the lightbulb, making the shaking stop.
I told you not to touch it!
W-What the hell is that thing?!
Nice going, dude.
STOP TALKING!!
Niko left, shutting the door behind them. Rigby got up, Mordecai staring at him with a tired, impatient look.
Well, now what do we do?!
Dude, maybe just ask Ibuki.
That’ll never wo— actually, I didn’t think of that before.
Again, nice going, genius.
Oh, quiet! I’ll go ask her.
Rigby left. As soon as he shut the door behind him, Mordecai reached behind his chair, pulling out a brand-new lightbulb, laughing to himself.
