Pops is sitting down by the creek. He takes a deep breath. "Oh, look. A squirrel." He sees a brown squirrel up on a branch. A butterfly flies over to give it an acorn, and the squirrel gnaws on it. It then bends over to the ground to drink some water provided by a fish in the creek. The squirrel then stretches out and starts taking a nap. Birds fly over it with a leaf in their beaks and they place it on the squirrel.

"I admire you, Mr. Squirrel. You're in perfect harmony with nature. I am also one with nature. In fact, I wrote a poem about being one with nature. Ahem." Pops places a blade of grass over his eyes. "A brow of grass," he places moss on his head. "And hair of moss. Puddles are my dipping sauce." Pops runs across the creek. "A petal, a wing, an arm or two, presenting a hug from me to you!" H prepares to hug the bush, but gets prickled by a thorn. "Oh!" Then a group of bees sting him. "Oooh!" Wind picks up and a branch hits him. He runs away from the bush while holding his head. He falls into the creek, where snapping turtles start biting him. "Oh why, nature? WHYYYYYYYYY?!!" (Poor Pops) "On the park house TV, a dude is shown surfing at the beach.

A surfer is on the shore at night. "Ahahaha, brah. You see Duke in that last wave, brah?" He asked. "Brah, I tried to pull out, brah." Duke said. "Dude, brah. You were just so deep in that barrel, I was like, "Brah!" The three surfers laugh. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are watching this. Mordecai and (Y/n) laugh while Rigby is eating chips. "Is that really how they talk?" Mordecai asked. "Tell me about it! They sound ridiculous!" (Y/n) said. "Haha, yeah. "Brah. Hey, brah. Sup, brah. Brah-brah-brah-brah-brah." Rigby mocks, and (Y/n) laughs. "Those waves were gnarly, brah!"

She joins in, and the trio laugh. "Haha, yeah. What a bunch of losers." Mordecai said. Rigby gobbles up the chip crumbs. "Dude, did you just eat the last of the chips, dude?" Mordecai asked. "Relax, dude. It was just crumbs." Rigby said. "Yeah, dude, but you ate the last of the chips before you ate the last of the crumbs, dude. When am I supposed to get my chip on?" Mordecai asked.

"Um, you realize that you dudes say dude all the time, right?" (Y/n) asked, raising an eyebrow. Mordecai and Rigby's eyes widen as they look at each other. "Oh she's right, we already say dude all the time dude!" Mordecai said. "You're right, dude!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) laughs. Pops walks in, crying from earlier. "Woah, Pops, what's wrong?" Mordecai asked. "Pops, are you okay?" (Y/n) asked in alarm, quickly running over to her friend and placing a paw on his right hand for comfort.

"Oh, I'm just having a bad day with nature, I suppose. You mind if I sit here with you guys for a while?" Pops asked. "Of course not." Mordecai said. "Yeah, take a loadoff." Rigby said. Pops sits down between Rigby and (Y/n). "Catching your first wave, it's just like, "Ahh"! I mean, I don't wanna sound like I'm bragging or whatever, but I really just feel sorry for dudes who can't ride waves. Cause you just pop up on that board, and you're just in it." He starts riding a surfboard with seagulls around him.

"Just totally one with nature." The surfer said. "Oh, boy!" Pops starts clapping. "That's what I have to do to be one with nature: surfing" at City Beach, Pops holds up a book as (Y/n) is beside him, she decided to join him just in case something bad happened. "Peachy Perry's 3 P's to Surfing Perfect" Pops opens the book. "The 3 P's are:" he watches a surfer. "Paddling, pivoting,

popping up! Seems easy enough." He starts paddling on his board. "Paddling." Sand flies on some dudes and dudettes. "Pivoting! Popping.." He tries to gets up but fails. Three surfers come over to him and (Y/n). "Haha. Gramps can't even get up on his board." Hurl said. "Salutations, fellows." Pops finally gets back up. "His name is Pops." (Y/n) said defensively. The surfers laugh. "What kind of stupid name is that?" Hurl asked. "What's your name?" Pops asked.

"Hurl Hurlbutt. And these are my associates, Murl and Burl." Hurl said, and (Y/n) bursts into laughter. "And you had the audacity to make fun of Pops' name with a name like that?" She asked in between laughs, and they all glare at her. "I'd watch my mouth if I were you." Hurl said. "Oh really? Is that because you're afraid of the truth that might come out of it?" (Y/n) asked. "(Y/n)!" Pops scolded. "Hey, we should call this guy Mondo Cabezo and his little friend pipsqueak." Hurl said.
