Gold Watch
The gang is at Wing Kingdom. "Guys, guys! I'd like to propose a toast. I know I'm the one being honored tomorrow with the gold watch for showing up to work 1,000 consecutive days in a row, but I want you to know: it's actually about you guys," Benson claps. "So thank you." He said. (Y/n), Muscle Man, Fives, Thomas, Pops and Skips applaud. "Thanks, Benson. That means a lot." Skips said. "It really does." (Y/n) said. "How do you do it? How do you always get to work on time?" Thomas asked.
"Good question." (Y/n) said. "Yes (Y/n), it is a good question. Did everybody hear that?" Benson gestures to his forehead. "The guy knows how to think. I've gotten this far in life by doing one thing, and that's playing it safe. I set three alarm clocks every night, including," Benson points to his watch. "This one. And then, I leave my toast and coffee out the night before so that it's ready for me when I wake up." Benson said.
"You eat stale toast?" Muscle Man asked. "Yes. And I don't like it, not one bit. But I know that it'll all be worth it the moment that Mr. Maellard honors me with that gold watch." Benson said. "That gold watch really means a lot to you, doesn't it?" (Y/n) asked. "Oh, you have no idea how long I've wanted that thing! But tonight, I can finally stand before you guys and say: "I did it!" Benson said, and they all cheer.
"Hey, man, I don't mean to be a Debbie H. Downer here, but don't you think it's a little bit early to be celebrating? I mean, you still have to make it on time tomorrow." Muscle Man said. "Oh, come on, Muscle Man. What could possibly go wrong between now and then?" Benson asked. "I really wouldn't ask that if I were you." (Y/n) said. "Why not?" Thomas asked her. "Well usually when someone asks "what can go wrong" something always goes wrong." (Y/n) points out.
"Oh. I guess you have a point." Thomas said. "Ah, come on, (Y/n). That only happens in cartoons. You're being paranoid." Benson said. "Hey, where are Mordecai and Rigby?" (Y/n) asked. "You tell us, (Y/n), they're your sidekicks." Thomas said. "Sidekicks? They're my best friends Thomas, if anything you're more like the sidekick."
She smirks. "Oh, I'm the sidekick am I?" Thomas asked playfully. "Thomas, considering you're the intern, you are the very definition of a sidekick." (Y/n) said. "Ooh! (Y/n) got you good, Thomas!" Muscle Man said. Thomas will admit he was surprised by that one. "At least I have a defined role and purpose, unlike you, who just seems to be a permanent extra." Thomas said. (Y/n)'s jaw drops, but then she smirks. "I taught you well." She said, and Thomas smirks back.
Mordecai and Rigby show up with two guys. "Hey, Benson. You're not gonna believe this—these guys are celebrating 1,000 of something, too!" Mordecai asked. "Oh god, what is it?" (Y/n) asked. "It's nothing bad, (Y/n)! It's really cool." Rigby said. "1,000 test missions." Tango said. "You guys are test pilots?" Benson asked. "Whoa! That is cool!" (Y/n) said. "Told ya." Rigby smirks. "We sure are." Stache said. "Hey, I'm Tango and this is Stache." Tango said. "Wait, you're not Stache?"
Benson asked the guy with the mustache. "No, I'm Tango." He gestures to the other man. "He's Stache." He said. "Why don't you join us for some wings, and we'll celebrate our 1000s together?" Stache asked. "I don't think that's such a good idea." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, maybe you should listen to her, Benson..." Thomas said. "More wings? Benson likey, and I'm Benson!" Benson said, ignoring them.
"(Y/n)'s right, Benson. You don't wanna eat yourself into a food coma again." Skips said. "Yes. Perhaps you've done enough winging for one night." Pops said. "Look, I can handle it, guys. It's just one round." Benson said. "It's just, uh... well, sometimes people do things they regret on a bellyful of wings." Skips said. "Yeah Benson, I think you should really reconsider." (Y/n) said. "That's all we're saying." Pops said.
"Don't worry, guys. I got it under control." Benson said. Some time later, an alarm sound is heard, the next day in a desert, Benson wakes up and checks his watch. The time is shown to be six a.m. "Ow... my head." He's seen stranded in the desert with a military jumpsuit strapped to an ejector's seat with a parachute behind it. "What happened to me?" Benson asked. "Hey, Benson. You're not gonna believe this—these guys are celebrating 1,000 of something, too!" Mordecai's voice replays in his mind. "URRRRGH, MORDECAI AND RIGBY!!!!" Benson runs through the desert.
"Where am I?" Benson checks his watch. "Augh! I only have three hours to get back. How am I ever..." He sees a road with a telephone booth on the other side of the desert. "Wait, a road. I'm saved!" He runs up to the phone booth, puts his quarter in, and dials a number. "Come on, come on, pick up." Benson said. Pops picks up the phone. "Hello?" He asked. "Pops, it's Benson." Benson said.
"Oh, Benson; are you okay?" Pops asked. "I'm fine, Pops. Listen, could you put Mordecai and Rigby on so I can scream at them for ruining my life?" Benson asked. "They're not with you? Oh, dear, they didn't come home last night, and neither did (Y/n), we're all worried sick!" Pops said. "What the heck happened last night?" Benson asked. "I'm afraid I don't know." Pops said, and Benson sighs. "Well, whatever it was left me stranded out in the desert. Could you come pick me up?" Benson asked. "Oh, of course. Where in the desert are you exactly?" Pops asked.
"Uh, hold on, let me see." He looks around the desert. "Great." Benson sees a police car coming. "Oh, a car." A sheriff is seen driving the police car. "Hey! Hey, stop!" Benson shouted. The sheriff stops driving and exits his car. The sheriff sniffs. "Can you tell me what road this is?" Benson asked. "Sure. How about right after you tell me if this hurts or not?" He punches Benson, proceeds to arrest him, and drives away. "Benson? Hello?" Pops asked on the phone.
The sheriff's office next to a prison cell has (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, Tango, and Stache in it. "What on earth are you arresting me for?" Benson asked. "Benson, you're alright!" Mordecai said, and (Y/n) sighs with relief. "Thank god, I was worried sick!" She said. "You!" Benson said angrily. The sheriff puts Benson behind the prison bars. "Ha! Knock yourselves out." He said. "What did you do to me?!" Benson demands angrily, and (Y/n) quickly pulls him off. "Benson, Benson stop!" She shouted desperately. "Do you not.... remember anything?" Mordecai asked. "No!" Benson shouted, pulling away from (Y/n) and still attacking Mordecai. "Get off of me and I'll tell you!" Benson lets go of him as he takes a deep breath and (Y/n) lets go of him. "Here's what happened." Mordecai said.
~Flashback~
"The wings just kept coming." Mordecai said. The guys repeatedly shout "Benson!" as Benson pours a cup of wings into his mouth as (Y/n) and Thomas share a concerned glance. "Whooooooo!!!!" Her other friends shouted. "Both of our engines were on fire, but somehow we managed to crash-land right in the middle of a hot-tub party." Stache said. "I wish I was cool like you guys. Instead, I'm being honored tomorrow for 'playing it safe.' Benson said. "Ouch." Rigby said. "Yeah, that's rough." Stache said.
"If you want to be honored tomorrow with some Grade-A-Guts, you should drive up to the ceremony in the Mach Infinity." Tango said. "Yeah, it's the supersonic car we just test-drove." Stache said. "Seriously?" Benson asked. "I didn't know that car actually existed!" Mordecai said. "Nothing can drive that fast." Rigby said. Benson chuckles deeply. "You'd be taking a big risk, but in a cool way." Stache said. "I don't know, Benson." Rigby said. "Yeah, this really doesn't seem like a good idea." (Y/n) said. "You might be risking more than just that gold watch." Mordecai said.
Benson pounds on the table. "It's worth it!" He shouted. Later the gang is outside. Benson is patiently awaiting their instructions in the Mach Infinity. "Just make sure your lift-to-drag ratio stays level. You don't wanna go into a high-G maneuver." Stache said. "Whooooo! High-G maneuver!" Rigby said. "Alright, here goes." Benson sets the car to drive. Benson starts speeding straight ahead and screams as he goes over the limit. "Oh no..." (Y/n) said. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" Fearing for his life, he yanks a cord and ejects out of the seat, landing out far in the desert. He passes out as the seat comes to a halt. A parachute pops out.
~Present~
"That's crazy." Benson said. "Yeah. You landed about a mile away, but the car kept going and ended up on the road." Tango said. "Yeah, when we went to go find you, the cop arrested us for speeding." Mordecai said. "We even showed him our government clearance card which allows us to speed. But he just ripped it up." Stache said. "He was like, "nyah, nyah"...." Rigby makes tearing motions with his hands. "I'll go try and talk to this guy." Benson walks up.
"Uh, hi sir? I kind of have to be somewhere by nine and..." Benson said. "Well, we wouldn't want you to be late, now would we?" The sheriff asked. "No we wouldn't, sir." Benson said. "Well, son, the soonest I can open that door for you is, uh... 9:01 A.M." Benson bangs his head on the prison bars. "You didn't even look at anything! You just made that time up to be a jerk!" Mordecai shouted.
The sheriff points at him. "You open your mouth again, pretty boy, and you're getting the hose!" He shouted. "You must have a lot of experience with hoses, considering all the hot air that comes out of your mouth." (Y/n) snapped. "What did you just say?" The sheriff asked. "Uh, nothing! She said nothing! Right (Y/n)?" Rigby asked her nervously, and she just huffs and crosses her arms. "That won't be necessary!" Pops said. "Pops!" Everyone said with relief. "How did you find us?" Benson asked. "Oh, it was quite simple." Pops said.
~Flashback~
The sheriff arrests Benson, and a chicken vulture is on top of the police car. "While you we're being arrested, I happened to hear the distinct mating call of a chubby-necked chicken in the background." Pops uses the computer to look for information about the chubby-necked chicken vulture. "I tried to use your computing device to look up its habitat on the internet." Pops sees a shirtless man with orange hair and muscles and he covered his eyes, and ran away. "But, I got scared." Later Thomas was looking for information about the chubby-necked chicken vulture, while Pops is standing up, looking scared. "So, I called Thomas over, and he found it without any trouble at all." Pops said.
(Flashback ends)
"Wow, Pops, that's amazing." Benson said. "I bet Thomas was just doing it for (Y/n), if you know what I mean." Rigby said, and (Y/n) bonks him over the head angrily. "Ow!" He glares at her. "Now, Officer, allow me to pay you whatever finds they re-crude, and we'll be on our merry way." Pops said. "Are you trying to bribe me, sir?" The sheriff asked. "Bribe?" Pops asked. The sheriff throws Pops in behind the prison bars. "Pops!" Everyone shouted. "Oh come on!" (Y/n) shouted angrily.
"You can't arrest him for no reason!" Mordecai said. "Yeah! You're totally abusing your power here!" (Y/n) shouted. "She's right! You think you're above the law?!" Rigby asked. "On this quarter mile stretcher highway, I am the law!" The sheriff picks up a hose and sprays on them, and (Y/n) yelps, he then closes the prison door. "Jerk!" (Y/n) shouted angrily. He then sprays her again. "(Y/n)!" Her friends shouted worriedly, then glare at the sheriff. "Y'all sit tight while I find the bigger hose." The sheriff leaves to get the bigger hose, and Benson sighs. "Well, you ruined my life again." He said. "What?! We have nothing to do with this!" Rigby said.
"Yeah, you can't pin this on them this time, Benson." (Y/n) said. "Can't I? I woke up in a military jumpsuit, strapped to an ejector's seat. Of course they have something to do with this!" Benson shouted furiously. "Woah, Benson." Stache said. "Nobody put those wings inside you but you." Tango said. "Just because we party like handsome maniacs doesn't mean you didn't have a choice." Stache said. Benson sighs. "You're right. I decided to take risks and this is the price I pay.
We've tried everything but this cop won't listen to reason." He said. "Maybe you can't reason your way out of this one." Tango said. "Maybe the solution is..." Stache said. "...another risk. Ok, I got an idea." The cop comes in with the bigger hose, whistling. He sees only Pops, who is groaning on the ground, and drops the hose. "What in tarnation happened here?!" He asked. Pops slowly gets up.
"Oh, it was terrible!" Pops shouted. The others are hiding and clinging onto Pops' head. "They ganged up on me and beat me up before they escaped!" Pops shouted. "Escaped?!" The sheriff unlocks the cell. "Nobody escapes from my-" "now!" Pops shouted. The gang appear. "What?!" Benson and the gang tackle the sheriff. They run out through the door. "I can't believe that worked!" Mordecai said. "Yeah. I figured Pops' head would only hide two of three of us tops." Rigby said. "How much time until the ceremony?" (Y/n) asked.
Benson checks his watch. "Less than an hour." Benson said. Pops points to his car. "We can take Carmenita." He said. "She's too slow!" Benson said. Tango clears his throat and shows Benson the keys to the Mach Infinity. "It's your only chance, Benson." Stache said. "How bad do you want that watch?" Tango asked. Benson puts his hand out. "More than anything." The others go into Carmenita. "Perfect! Let's go!" Tango throws the keys to Benson. Carmenita takes off. "See you at the ceremony!" Rigby said.
Benson looks over to the Mach Infinity. The sheriff is now in the cell, and he gets up. "What?!" He moves to the seat, slamming it, and reveals a compartment with guns, nunchucks, a grenade and other items. He takes the big gun and shoots the cell door open. Meanwhile Benson is trying to start the Infinity. He holds down on a button. "Come on, come on.....yes!" The sheriff runs up to him. "Get out of the car!" As Benson, drives away, the rudder slices off the sheriff's mustache in slow-motion, then the sheriff is knocked to the ground. Benson escapes through the gate in the Infinity through the desert.
"It took me thirty years to grow this thing!" He gets up and starts running. On the road, he is in the police car, shooting his gun out. He tries to hit the Infinity. "What the-?!" Benson thrusts the Infinity forward. It speeds up, heading for 700 kph. "Where're you goin', boy?!" The sheriff pushes a button, and his car's engine powers up some more. While the Infinity is still speeding up, the police car's engine starts catching on fire. The front opens up. "Noooooooo!" He and the car get obliterated.
Benson continues to speed in the Infinity as it is now rainy weather. A wing floats in front of Benson. The Infinity finally stops in the park. The time on Benson's watch is 8:59. "Yes! I made it." Benson walks up to the park groundskeepers, Tango, Stache and Mr. Maellard, who are wearing black suits and holding umbrellas. Standing with them are some men. "Hey, how did you guys get here before me?" Benson asked. The park members gasp.
"B- Benson?!" (Y/n) asked. "It's a miracle!" Pops said. "Well, I don't know about miracle, but..." Benson said. "Dude, where have you been for the last 3 months?" Mordecai asked. "What?" Benson asked. "What probably happened is that you went so fast, that you actually travelled three months into the future." Tango said. "We all thought you were dead, man!" Rigby said. "Yeah, (Y/n)'s been crying her eyes out for days." Thomas said. "Then if this isn't my gold watch ceremony, it's my..." Benson sees a gravestone that says 'Benson "You're Fired" "Memorial service." Skips said. (Who the fuck would put that on a gravestone?!)
"And who are all of these guys?" Benson asked. "They're applicants for the park manger position. They're waiting until after the service to be interviewed." Benson goes up to his boss. "Mr. Maellard, about the gold watch..." Benson said. "Uh, I'm gonna have to say no. I've always been a stickler for the rules." He replied. "Hey, man. At least you're not dead." Rigby said.
"Yeah, I think that's a little bit more important right now, Benson." (Y/n) said. "No!" Benson runs back to the Infinity. "Without that watch, I am dead." He turns on the Infinity, and puts it in reverse before looking behind. Tango and Stache run after him. "Benson, stop!" They shouted. "The Infinity's reverse gear could tear a hole in space time!" Stache shouted. "I have to take that chance!" With that, the Infinity zips off. "Now, there goes a man who takes risks." Stache said.
The Infinity is reversing down the road. "Come on!" Benson shouted. A screw loosens out, and the glass begins to crack. As it zips out on the ocean, Benson's face appears distorted in slow motion. The Infinity begins to enter space time. "I...I never knew." Benson screams as the Infinity reverses around the Earth. He looks at his watch as its reversing in time. "It's..... working!" He accidentally dismantles the stick shift, and there is a bright spark. Parts of the Infinity begin to break off,
and Benson pulls the parachute and screams as he exits space time and stops in front of the ceremony. "Told you he'd make it." Muscle Man said. The boss walks up to Benson with a small red box. "9:00 A.M. on the dot! You did it, my boy." Mr. Maellard said. He reveals the gold watch, shining brightly. Benson sighs. "It's beautiful." He said. "I brought us some wings to help us celebrate." Muscle Man said, and (Y/n) glares at him. "Too soon, dude." She said. Benson chuckles. "Sorry, Muscle Man, not this time." He said. "Come on, it's only one wing." Mr. Maellard said. "Don't encourage him." (Y/n) said. "Well...." Benson said. He wakes up sometime later. "Oh, my head. Where..." he asked. He notices that he's out in the middle of the ocean. "Ah, come on!" Benson shouted.
