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.
