And also, we've gotten at least one episode showing these guys alone as best buds in "Mordecai and Rigby Down Under". When it is just the two of them, they still work together pretty well and will agree to slack off together. But at this point, the show is beyond just seeing our main two guys just alone, and other relationships with the park staff and their friends outside the park have become more prominent. They're not any less friends, but they've grown beyond their tight knit duo to where Mordecai is dating CJ and Rigby has other friendships to make up for the loss, like with Eileen. While I hope we get a few more episodes completely dedicated to the Mordecai and Rigby pair this season, I like seeing them now more open to other people while still being close friends. After all, with all these other changes going on in the show, it'd be very weird if Mordecai and Rigby were still just for each other and not getting to know others. In regards to my novel, thank you, Tansyflower. I'm glad it actually made sense and didn't come out as one long wall of jumbled jargon.

As for the "Mordecai and Rigby Down Under" side of things, I'd have to agree with you, too. While I understand that a majority of the episode was nothing more than a dream, you'd have to be pretty darn close and have a good history together as friends in order to dream about the exact same thing. It just goes to show that they really care deeply about one another and have some sort of connection that only the best of friends can. I also like how you brought up the fact that they've grown beyond their tight knit duo. As you've already stated, I find it fascinating to see Mordecai and Rigby open up to the other park employees and their potential love interests. I feel that change is one of the many factors that has kept this show so intriguing for me, even though it's probably done more harm than good for the fandom in the long run. Although I typically enjoy any episode that just focuses on Mordecai and Rigby, there are times where the interaction between them and the other characters comes across as much more enticing and makes for an overall better story. I'm not sure why so many fans are against the idea of certain episodes revolving around anything other than just Mordecai and Rigby's relationship. You'd think they would welcome the idea of change at this point, considering that we've already seen plenty of episodes dealing with the dynamic duo's misadventures and backstory. After all, doesn't the very idea of seeing Mordecai and Rigby do nothing but slack off for six seasons seem pretty dull and monotonous? Ah, well...
