Lame Lockdown
(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are watching a commercial for Del Hanlon's upcoming interview with the band "Mercury Heat" at the coffee shop. "Gene Hazard. Vince Vandercliffe. Rikki Nova. And Dolfph! Together they are Mercury Heat! Known for their outrageous costumes, death-defying performances, and their reputation for avoiding the press. No interviews! Until now. Channel 6 leading anchor, Amy Hanlon interviews the band for the first time with the hardest-hitting questions. All their secrets finally revealed tonight at 8:00." The commercial said.
"Ohhhhh!" The Mercury Heat!" The trio said. "I can't believe Sam got us special press passes, compliments of Channel 6!" Mordecai said as he held the three up. Dr. Langer flies in front of them. "(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby, you took a DTV from the Dome-itory!" He scolded. "DT-what?" Mordecai asked. "DTV. You know, that very expensive piece of machinery parked outside." He shouted as he gestures to it. "Oh, yeah." Mordecai said. "We were only gonna use it for a minute." Rigby said. "Yeah dude, chill." (Y/n) said.
"Is that so? Well, I've got surveillance photos that say otherwise!" Dr. Langer shows them pictures, the first one of them walking to the cart, the second one of Mordecai and Rigby throwing their arms up, with (Y/n) sitting in between them, the third one of them spinning in the cart, and the last two showing the trio jumping into the air on the cart. At the park, Langer shows Benson the photographs as the trio sit on the steps of the house. "Oh, boy." Benson said. Mordecai and Rigby snicker, and (Y/n) face palms. "Can it!" Benson snapped at the duo,
then turns to the scientist. "I am so sorry for this, Dr. Langer." He said. "The DTVs are meant for scientific research. They could have ruined weeks of data. There was a line there, and your guys crossed it. That's why I'm enacting a 24-hour lockdown." Dr. Langer said. (Y/n) suddenly looks at him angrily. "WHAT?!" She asked. "No way!" Rigby said. "And Benson here is gonna make sure you don't leave the house. 'Cause if you do, he's fired." Dr. Langer said. This makes (Y/n) even angrier. "You can't do that!" She shouted.
"I'd advise against losing your temper right now, (Y/n)." Dr. Langer said warningly. (Y/n) growls angrily. "Keep them in line or we'll keep them in line for you!" Dr. Langer said, then flew off. "I can't believe this!" Benson said as he walks over to the trio angrily. "Come on, Benson. You know these dome rules are ridiculous." Mordecai said. "Yeah. You're just too afraid to do anything about it." (Y/n) said. "I don't want to hear it. Lockdown! 24 hours!
Starting now! Get inside!" Benson shouts angrily, pointing at the house. The trio frown in defeat and begin to walk back to the house. "Aw, dudes!" Rigby said. "There is no way we're missing Mercury Heat." Mordecai said. Benson sits in a chair watching the door and takes a sip from his bottle. "No one's getting past me. No sir." Benson said. Pops, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby were watching from the top of the stairs. "Thanks for helping us out, Pops." Mordecai said. "Of course! I've just about had it with these dome rules. They're absolute rubbish, if you ask me." Pops said.
"Agreed." (Y/n) said. "How are you gonna distract Benson?" Rigby asked. "Leave that to me." Pops smirks. Later, Pops distracts Benson by playing a flute. Benson turns to Pops in annoyance. "Wow, Pops. That's very impressive." He said. "I've never had a single lesson." Pops said, and continues to play. "But I think my ears are tired now, so—" Benson said as he points to his ears, or where they should be. "Well, then. Let's wake them up!" Pops once again continues to play, and Benson cringes and covers his ears. Outside, the trio use a rope to climb out of the house. The trio go to Channel 6 and show their passes, and the two guards nod and let them in. Sam opens the door to the top of the building. "Best spot ever!" Mordecai said as he and his best friends stood in front of a cameraman. "Rubber baby buggy bumpers. Rubber baby buggy bumpers." Amy said as she was filming, as she read through her lines.
"Look! Here they come!" Rigby points upwards and the cameraman lifts the camera in that direction. The group jump out of aircraft and fireworks and stars appear behind them as they fall. "Whooooa!" The trio said. The girl coughs as they land. "Wow. What an entrance. Amy Hanlon, reporter on Channel 6 News." The girl said. The guys don't even react. "Hey." Amy just looks confused. "Dudes, I can't believe we almost missed this!" (Y/n) said. "Good thing our plan is foolproof." Rigby said. Back at the house, Benson slowly opens the door to check on the duo, he had already checked (Y/n)'s room. He looks to see the covers moving and assumes its their breathing and closes the door. Then gets suspicious and opens the door again. Not noticing the rope hanging above the door. "Hmm. Yeah. You better sleep." Benson said before closing the door.

"Good evening. We have a very special treat tonight. After years of avoiding the press, rock sensation Mercury Heat is with us for our very exclusive interview. Amy Hanlon reports, Amy." Sam said. "Sam, I got to say, it's getting pretty warm up here 'cause these guys are bringing in the heat. Or should I say Mercury Heat!" Amy begins laughing, but soon stops as she realizes no one else is laughing. "You know, 'cause, uh—" she clears her throat nervously. "Now, you guys have been performing together for a while now. The fans must know-- do you like it?" Amy asked. "Yeah." One of them replies. "Incredible! Now, another burning question for all the true Mercury Heads out there. Your performances are pretty loud. How is that on your ears?" Amy asked. "Aah! Dude, what kind of question was that?" Rigby asked in disappointment.
Amy and the group then turn to the trio. "What was that? We actually hear very well. You got some questions for us?" Mercury asked. "Actually, we do. Like, why does the four-minute-long guitar solo in the song "Flames Forever" end so abruptly?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah. Is it true it's because the mysterious fifth member died while recording it? I want answers!" Rigby shouted. "Finally. Some real questions You. Out. You three. In." Mercury said to the trio, and they gasp. "And, scene." Amy said sadly.
"Hmm. I can't believe Mordecai and Rigby said that to me earlier. "Meh, Benson, you're just too afraid to do anything about the dome rules." Who do those guys think they are? I'm their boss, for crying out loud! As for (Y/n), she ended up getting pretty angry when Dr. Langer threatened to fire me, I didn't expect her to get so heated up about that." Benson said. "I don't think you're mad at Mordecai and Rigby. I think you're just mad at Dr. Langer 'cause he's technically
the boss now and you're not. And what did you expect? (Y/n) knows this job is all you have, she's the same way, so of course that would make her angry." Skips said. "No, I mean- wait, what did you say? I'm still the boss!" Benson argued. Suddenly a paper comes out of his fax and he grabs it. "Oh, great. Now there's a malfunction with the dome door and I have to go fix it. Skips, make sure (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby don't leave the house." Benson said as he walks away.
"That's another great question, um, what was your name again?" The man on the tv asked, then it showed (Y/n) on screen and Skips' eyes widened in shock. "(Y-" 'oh shit' Skips thought, before quickly changing the channel as fast as he could. "Pizza for only $5!" The commercial said. "What was that?" Benson asked from behind the couch. "Oh, uh... they're selling more pizza for $5." Skips said quickly. "Huh. What a deal. We'll order some when I get back." Benson said as he walks away. "Those three have really done it this time." Skips said.
"And that's when I realized, like, I wasn't mad at the world, you know? I was mad at myself." Vince said, before he began to cry. "There, there, Vince." One of his friends comforted him. "Cut the cameras! Cut the cameras!" Vince shouted, and the cameraman looked really confused, but lowers his camera. "That was the best interview anyone's ever given us. So, want to come party with us on our private jet?" Mercury asked the trio as he approaches them. "Yeah, we do!" The trio said.

"Lousy dome scientists. Don't tell me what to do." Benson goes to the dome door where he finds a rock propping it open, to which Benson immediately realizes is the doing of Mordecai and Rigby and turns red with rage. "(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby!" Benson shouted furiously. Benson grabs the rock and angrily kicks it, then grabs his foot and cries in pain. Pops sees this through his binoculars. "Oh dear." He said.

"Yeah, so I want to graduate high school to impress my dad, you know?" Rigby asked. "I know what you mean, man. All the fans in the world can't replace a father's love." Mercury said as he looks at the fans on the jet. "Hey. I know what'll cheer you up." He opens the door to talk to the pilot. "Hey, Stan. Can we get a barrel roll, please?" He asked. "Anything for Mercury Heat." Stan then makes the jet do a barrel roll flipping everyone in the jet over. "Whoa!" The trio said as they fell over. Then everyone cheered. "Again! Again!" Rigby said as he threw his arms in the air.
"Yeah, that was awesome!" (Y/n) agreed. "Dudes, this is seriously the best night of my life." Mordecai said. (Y/n)'s phone then began to ring and she picks it up. "Hello?" She asked. "The jig is up! Benson just sealed off the entrance to the dome!" Pops said. "Aw, man. Pops, you stall him till we get back." (Y/n) said, then hung up. "Benson's onto us! He's gonna find out we're not at the park!" She shouted. "What?! There's no way we can get back in time!" Rigby shouted.
"There might be a way. You ever wear one of these?" Mercury asked, revealing his cape. "Rah!" Benson said as he angrily kicks the front door open, Benson kicks his way up to Mordecai and Rigby's room, to see Pops moving dummies shaped like Mordecai and Rigby once he turns on the light switch. "Pops?!" Benson asked, and Pops drops the dummies in horror. Benson notices the recorder and kicks it. "What's going on here?" Benson demanded. "Oh, Benson! I'm, uh-- I'm just as surprised as you!" Pops said. Benson turns red with anger.
'They snuck out! I knew it! I'm gonna fire them before Dr. Langer fires me!" Benson shouted. The trio peer out of the jet nervously as it flies closer to the dome. "So, once we get close to the dome, spread your wings and coast through the moon door." Mercury said. "I don't know about this!" (Y/n) said. "Of course you do! Just follow your dreams!" Mercury shoves them out and the trio scream as they fall. "Whoo! Rock on!" The jet flies away. The trio fly into the dome. "Look out!" (Y/n) shouted, as she realized they were about to crash into some bushes.
But it was too late and the trio crash. "(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby! I know you're out here!" Benson shouted angrily as he drives over. "Dudes Benson's coming!" Rigby shouted. The trio quickly got up. "Quick! Down here!" Mordecai shouted. The trio run into a metal tunnel and run down the hall, then stop to catch their breath. "I think we lost him." (Y/n) said. "(Y/n), Mordecai! Rigby! Where are you?" Benson shouted. "Come on! Hurry!" (Y/n) said. The trio run down further, then stop when they hear a weird sound. "Wait. What's that sound?" Rigby asked.
It's coming from down there." Mordecai said. The trio follow the sound to a room, where they see a scientist chained by one leg to a table, along with a smashed up cart. The scientist turns to them with a zombie like face and growls. The trio scream and quickly run out, then crash into Benson. "There you are!" Benson shouted. "Benson! Something's down there!" (Y/n) shouted. "There's a huge monster! It looked right at us!" Rigby shouted. "That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard." Benson said as he threw his arms up. Doctor Langer flies over. "Benson! Maybe you misunderstood me. When I told you to keep them in the house for 24 hours, I meant it! I mean, wow." Benson begins to sweat nervously and (Y/n) growls, becoming angry again.
"All you had to do was literally keep them in one place for a day, but no. You couldn't even do that. Now they're out here wearing those stupid costumes. So, congratulations, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby!" Benson looks over at the trio. "You're fired!" Doctor Langer shouted. "What?!" The trio asked angrily. That was the last straw. "Hey. If anyone's gonna fire them, it's me!" Benson shouted. "Yeah!" The trio said. "I don't tell you people how to do your job, whatever that may be! So you certainly don't have the right to tell me how to do MY JOB!"
Benson shouted angrily. Lancer falls down, then looks up at Benson in fear. "This is my park. They're my employees. You people need to back off and quit breathing down my neck!" Benson shouted as he points at him angrily. "Do I make myself clear?!" Benson shouted. "Um...crystal. Crystal clear as day." Langer chuckles nervously "It looks like you got these three under control. I'll just leave you be." Langer attempts to fly away, but forget his broken jetpack and flew into a tree.
"Stupid jetpack!" He said as it flies away, then he crawls into the bushes. "Whooooa!" The trio said, lifting their capes, and Benson looks at them angrily, as if he's about to yell at them. "We're sorry we made you look bad, Benson." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, we're sorry." Rigby said. "But seriously, though, that was so cool how you told Langer off like that." He said. "Yeah, that was awesome!" (Y/n) said. "Hey. What do you expect? I'm the boss. And as your boss, it's my decision not to fire you." Benson said. "Whoo!" Mordecai and Rigby said. "You really are the best boss, Benson." (Y/n) said, and he smiles at her. "Now, take off those costumes. You three look ridiculous." Benson said, and the quartet walk away. Dr. Langer calls on his walky talkie. "They're ready. And I'm going to the hospital."
