Muscle Man is hammering and sawing some wood. "Looks like he's at it again." (Y/n) said. "Ugh... Why does he waste his time?" Rigby asked. The trio walk toward Muscle Man. "You've been building your water slide for six weeks." Mordecai said. "You're never gonna ride it, man." Rigby said, and Muscle Man shakes his head. "Dudes, dudes. Let me get real for a second. This slide is my life's work. It's gotta be perfect." He said. "Dude, dude, we dare you to ride it right now." Rigby said. "I'll ride it when it's done." Muscle Man walks toward wooden beams. "I still need to add some support beams to the ramp so that I can clear my trailer and land in the lake." Muscle Man said.

"Dude, its totally sturdy." Mordecai said. "Are you sure about that?" (Y/n) asked uncertainly. "Well, yeah, (Y/n), look at it." Mordecai said. "Yeah, but-" Muscle Man said, but Rigby cuts him off. "BOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He shouted. "What? You think just cause you're yelling "Boo" I'm gonna ignore-" Muscle Man said. "Booooo!" Mordecai & Rigby shouted, and (Y/n) rolls her eyes. "Fine! I'll do it!" Muscle Man shouted. "Hmm, hmm, hmm hmm!" Mordecai & Rigby said.

Muscle Man is now on top of the hill and screws open the fire hydrant. "I'm totally gonna do it, you know!" He said. "Sure you are, man!" Mordecai shouted. "Wait guys, are you sure this is a good idea? What if he gets hurt?" (Y/n) asked worriedly. "Ah relax, (Y/n). He's fine." Rigby said. "Yeah, it's not like he's actually gonna do it." Mordecai said. "WHOO!!!!!! WHOO!!!!" Muscle Man said shirtless and running. "Oh no..." (Y/n) said. "Yep, any second now he'll stop." Rigby said. Muscle Man jumps on the water slide. He is laying down on his back and he has his arms crossed over his chest.

"I can't believe it! Dude, he did it!" Mordecai said in shock. He goes down the slide. "WHOO!! WHOO!!!" Muscle Man passes the trio. "Yeah!" Rigby said. "Go dude!" Mordecai said, but (Y/n) was just watching worriedly. "Go man!!" Rigby shouted. "In yo face, suckers!!" Muscle Man gasps to see the ramp is breaking. "Uh oh..." (Y/n) said worriedly. "Oh, geez!" Mordecai said, also worried now. "Yah, aaah! Yah!" Muscle Man hits his trailer, then crashes into some tree branches.

"He could be all right." Rigby said, then gasps. Muscle Man slides off a tree branch and lands on top of his car. "Muscle Man!" (Y/n) shouted worriedly as she runs over. "Are you okay?" She asked. Muscle Man gets up to show a bruised face with branches sticking out. "Ahh!" The trio shouted. "Yeah, I'm all good." Muscle Man spits out a tooth. "Did you see how cool I looked?" He asked. Death comes through a portal talking to someone on his phone. "What do you mean you can't babysit tonight? I know it's short notice. I'll pay you double. Wait, wait, don't hang up!! Oh!" Death walks over to (Y/n), Mordecai, Rigby, & Muscle Man.

"I'm in a bit of a rush today, so I'll just take Muscle Man's soul and be off." Death said. "WHAT?!" (Y/n) asked in panic. "But I'm barely even hurt. It's just a few broken—" Death interrupts and lifts up his scythe. "No wait, stop!" The trio shouted. "It's all our fault! He didn't even want to use the slide." Mordecai said. "Yeah! You can't take him!" (Y/n) shouted. "Look little girl, I'm just doing my job here, got it?" Death asked. "Please, we'll do anything!" Mordecai shouted. "Anything?" Death asked. "Yeah!" The trio said. "Yeah." Muscle Man said. "Hmm, wait a sec.

Maybe we can make a deal. If you two babysit my son Thomas so I can take my wife out for our anniversary tonight, I'll let your friend go." Death said. "Sure, not a problem." (Y/n) said. "Very good." Death pulls out an amulet and shrinks Muscle Man inside it. "Oh, no! Help me, bros!" He shouted. "Hey!" (Y/n) shouted angrily. "I'll be keeping your friend in this amulet until my wife and I return from dinner. And one more thing: if Thomas isn't asleep by 8:00, Muscle Man's soul is mine for eternity. Got it?"

Death asked. The trio and Death walk to his house and open the front doors. "Baby! I'm home!" He said. "Who is that with you? Wait, let me guess, the "babysitters". She walks down the stairs and walks over to them. "Well I must say, you three certainly don't much look like babysitters." She said. "Course they are! The best babysitters money can buy." Death said. Rigby laughs nervously. "Yep, we're totally babysitters." He said. "And how did my husband contact you a month ago?" The woman asked. "Phone." Mordecai said. "Email." Rigby said. " Fax." Death said.
