All of the groundskeepers are at Pops' House. "This is it, people. The big day." Everyone begins talking to each other. He sighs at this. "(Y/n)?" Benson asked. "It's Pops' dad's birthday." She said. Everyone but Pops and (Y/n) talk to each other again. "Seriously? Does no one read the emails I send out?" Benson asked.

Everyone mumbles in response. "I read them." (Y/n) said. "Well that much is obvious, (Y/n)." Benson said. "Anyway, everybody knows that Mr. Maellard loves surprises. But they also know that he's impossible to surprise." Benson said. "It must be from his time in the war. He says he always slept with his eyes open." Pops said. "That's not creepy at all..." (Y/n) said. Benson chuckles. "That's why I've come up with the perfect plan." Benson flips the chalkboard next to him. It reads 'Fake Surprise' in large white letters. "Bam! 'Fake Surprise'. See, it'll go down like this. Maellard will show up like....

"Hiya, Benson. I'm here to pick up Pops for my birthday dinner. And I'm gonna be all, 'What? I didn't know it was your birthday'. That's when I'll take him to the Snack Bar where Bam! Fake surprise. He'll be so thrown off by it he won't suspect a thing when I take him to the real party." Benson said. "Wow, Benson. That was the perfect surprise. Here's a million dollars." At this (Y/n) snickers." His plan ends, but Benson still continues to narrate what he thinks would happen next.

"Gee thanks, Mr. Maellard. You know, it was nothing really." Benson said. "Uh Benson, did you forget the rest of us are still here or...?" (Y/n) asked, and her friends snickered, and Benson glares at her. "That's how we're gonna do it." He said. Pops claps. "Oh, that plan sounds wonderful, Benson." He said. "Alright. Time for your assignments. Skips, set up the table. Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost, go buy balloons. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby, you're picking up the cake." Benson said. "Really?" Rigby asked.

"Yeah. It's prepaid and everything. All you have to do is pick it up" Benson gives Rigby the receipt. "Just give them the receipt and bring the cake back. That's it." He said. "Aw, yeah!" Rigby said. "♪Picking up the cake, picking up the cake! Picking up the cake, gonna do it great!♪" the trio rapped. "Just pick up the cake and try not to ruin my big day." Benson said. "You mean Maellard's big day." (Y/n) corrected. "JUST PICK UP THE CAKE!" Later at the top Tier Cakes, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby walk in. There's a long line of people. "Man, this place is packed! Why does everyone need a cake so bad?" Rigby asked.

Mordecai looks looks at the receipt. "Dude, check it out. This cake Benson ordered is crazy expensive." He said. "$130?!" Rigby asked. "What the?! For real?" (Y/n) asked. "Yeah. Benson's really going all out." Mordecai said. "He must really want that one million dollars." (Y/n) said, and her best friends snicker and Rigby elbows her playfully. "Hey, dudes, check out that line." Rigby  points at the sign.

"Nobody's in it." He said. "It saids "Pre Paid", so yeah; let's do it." Mordecai said. "I got my cake, I got my cake!" A man shouted. As a female customer is about to talk, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby switch over to the Pre Paid Order stand. "Excuse me, I'm here to pick up a cake." (Y/n) said. "Oh, if you have a pre paid order receipt, I can get that for you." The employee said. "Yeah, we do!" (Y/n) said. The female employee takes the receipt.

"Okay, it'll be just a minute." She said. "Excuse me, I was here before they were." The woman from before said. "Sorry ma'am, but pre paid customers take priority." The employee said. She walks away to pick up the cake. "Hey, you three!" (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby look up at her. "That's right, I'm talking to you, bozos. You just cut the line." She said. "Uuuhhhh...." Mordecai said.

"Get back here and take a number like everybody else." The woman said. "We didn't cut in line. This is the pre paid line." Mordecai said. "Ho, ho. That's a fine excuse for a bunch of LINE CUTTERS!" The woman shouted. "We didn't cut! Why don't you do us all a favor and mind your own business?!" (Y/n) shouted. "Excuse me?!" The woman asked furiously. All of the other customers murmur in agreement and start lining up at the pre paid order stand. "But..." the woman said. The female employee returns with a cake box. "Alright, here you go." She opens the box with a cake inside that says: "Happy b-day Mr. Maellard" "Woaaaaahhhh...." The trio said. "Also, you guys get our last free cake pastries." She gives the pastries to Rigby.

"This is ridiculous! I've been here longer than anybody!" The woman shouted. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but the sign says pre-paid customers get tended to first, so maybe you should learn how to read." The employee said. "WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Everyone said. The female customer gets angry. "Haha, okay, thanks for the cake. Bye!" Mordecai said nervously. He, (Y/n) and Rigby run out with the cake box. They then tie the cake on top of the cart and begin to drive away.

"H-hey, I say this job was a piece of cake." Mordecai said, and (Y/n) snorts. "Good one gramps." She joked. Rigby munches on the pastry. "Yeah, it was." He said. "Hahahahahaa." The trio laughed. "Hand me one of them victory pastries." (Y/n) said. "Uuuhhhh...." Rigby said. "Aw, man, did you eat all of them?" Mordecai asked. "Sorry, the third one just fell in my mouth." Rigby said. "Augh! You're the worst." Mordecai said. Suddenly, the female customer from Top Teir Cakes drives up in her car and bumps into the cart. "What the?!" (Y/n) asked.

She growls, and the car roof falls off. "LINE CUTTERS!" She picks up a cake knife. "LINE CUTTERS ARE GONNA GET CUT!" She shouted. "AAAAAHHHH! She's got a cake cutter! Let's get outta here!" Rigby shouted. "Is she insane?!" (Y/n) asked fearfully. "Time to shake this cake witch!" Mordecai pumps the gas pedal and passes the green car. She then bumps the green car off the road, and it explodes as they scream and turn to the left. She growls as she sees a Road Closed sign.

"Wait, what does it say? I wish I could read!" She drives past the Road Closed sign and falls into a small hole in the road. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby drive into an alley and accidentally bump into a pothole. The cake box slips off the top of the cart and the cake splatters all over the alley road as they gasp. "Ooooooooooooh! Road cake!" People come out from their hiding places in the alley. They approach the road cake and start mooching off it. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby scream as they run to them. The alley leader's phone rings. "Time for the meeting with accounting! If we're late, Tokyo will drop the deal! Come on!" They go to their car and drive off. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby look at the damaged cake.

"Oh, boy." Mordecai said. "We're so screwed." (Y/n) said. Back at the house, Mr. Maellard rolls up to Benson in his limo. "Hello, Mr. Maellard." Benson said. "Where's Pops? We're gonna be late to my birthday dinner." Mr. Maellard said. "Birthday? It's your birthday today?" Benson asked. "Yes. But I'm sure you don't have anything planned." Mr. Maellard said. Benson laughs. "Of course, how could I? I only just now found out about it. Just now. But you know what?

I think Pops is at the Snack Bar. Let me take you there." He said. "Mmm. Let's go see. "Pops at the snack bar". Mr. Maellard said. "Right this way." Mr. Maellard goes to the cart. Benson whips out his walkie talkie. "I'm taking Papa Eagle out to the field. We'll be back at the nest shortly. Do you copy?" Benson asked. "Who's the eagle again?" Skips asked. Benson sighs. "Maellard is the eagle. It was in the e-mail!"

Benson grunts and heads off. In the kitchen, Anna, Olivia, and Eileen are with (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby. "Okay. So I get that you don't have enough money for a new cake, but you really don't know how to make one? Isn't it like, one of your food groups?" Anna asked. "Hey! Less judgy, more cakey!" Rigby said. "There's not a lot of time. Can you help us or not?" (Y/n) asked. "Does angel food cake cool upside down?" Olivia asked. "Uhh..." the trio said. "Yes. The answer is yes." Olivia said. The group work together to make the new cake.

"You guys are awesome. This is even better than the cake Benson bought. He should be paying us!" Rigby said. "You keep telling yourself that." (Y/n) said. "Come on, let's get this outside." Mordecai said. Eileen opens the door for Mordecai and Anna to get the cake outside, but because the cake is too wide, they are not sure how to get through the door. "Eileen, what did you do? It doesn't fit out the door!" Rigby shouted. "Hey, I can't do the math if I don't have the whole equation." She said. "Ughhh!" Rigby shouted. "I'm taking Papa Eagle out to the field.

We'll be back at the nest shortly. Do you copy?" Benson asked. "Who's the eagle again?" Skips asked again. "Maellard's the eagle. It's in the e-mail!" Benson shouted. "He knows I don't do e-mail." Skips said. "Where are (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby?" Fives asked. "Oh, they should have brought the cake by now." Pops said. Skips sighs. "Let's got find 'em." He said. Back in the kitchen. Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and Fives come inside. "Oh, there you are!" Pops said. "What's the holdup, bros?" Muscle Man asked. "It's not our fault! The cake won't go outside!" Rigby shouted.

"How'd it get inside?" Skips asked. "Don't sweat the small details!" (Y/n) snapped. "Look, we just need to get it outside before Benson shows up with Mr. Maellard. Does anyone have any ideas?" Mordecai asked. No one says anything. "Way to go, dudes. You really messed up big." Muscle Man said. "Yeah. Benson's gonna be really bummed out." Fives said, and the trio groan. "If only there was a way to--outside cake!" Rigby said. "Oh, I might have something, then!" In Pops' room, he gets something out of the closet. "Aha! Here it is!" He said. "What is it?" (Y/n) asked. Pops is holding a box that says "KIMMEL - Handy Dandy Matter Mover". "it's my Handy Home Matter Mover. I got it in the 1950s." Pops said.

(Flashback to the 1953 World's Fair, where a salesman is promoting the product.)

"Gather 'round! Gather 'round!" A younger Pops observes from the front. "What you see before you will revolutionize how you move things! Let me introduce the Handy Home Matter Mover!" The salesman said. "Oh, my!" Pops said. "Does this sound familiar?" A lady is carrying three kids while standing between a bouquet of flowers and an empty table. "Say the missus wants to put a vase of flowers on the dining room table, but she has her hands full with the kids." The lady turns around in a clueless way. "Hmm." Pops said. "Well all you have to do is key in the coordinates, aim and hit the switch." The machine teleports the vase and kids to the table, but as a result, they appear jumbled up. The crowd seems unimpressed. "I'll take it." Pops said.

(The flashback ends.)

"A teleporter? It's perfect!" (Y/n) said. The trio hmph. At the snack bar, Benson is driving Mr. Maellard. Thomas ducks down. "Well, I don't see Pops out here." Mr. Maellard said. "Are you sure? Maybe you should check behind the counter." Thomas clears his throat and pops out with a cupcake. "Surprise!" Thomas said. Mr. Maellard chuckles and takes the cupcake. "That was a good one." Mr. Maellard said.

"Heh, right? And you thought I forgot your birthday." Benson said. "Well, it's certainly thoughtful of you to come up with this one surprise for me." Benson laughs. "It's no trouble. One surprise is the least I can do. Let's head back to the house for Pops." Benson said. They head back to the cart. "Yes, I'm sure Pops is very lonely waiting all by himself." Mr. Maellard said. "Oh! Oh, wait for me!" Thomas tumbles out of the Snack Bar and runs off. Back in the kitchen, Mordecai is setting up the coordinates on the teleporter.

"Are you sure this'll work?" Fives asked. "It looks really old." Muscle Man said. "Okay, I think I got it." Mordecai presses a button to start the teleporter, but it activates for a second and powers down. "Uuhh..." Rigby said. "Papa Eagle is coming to the roof. Get the eggs ready." Benson said via walkie talkie and everyone mumbles in panic. Mordecai tries to start the teleporter. "Come on, come on!" He shouted.

"Hurry up, bro!" Muscle Man shouted. "I expect that everyone is ready to crack the eggs." Benson shouted. Benson, Mr. Maellard and Thomas are in the cart. "Sorry for all the work calls, but we got a real eagle problem at the moment. But anyway, I'm sure Pops is somewhere around here." Benson said. "I'm sure he is." Benson keeps driving until they reach the party area. "Surpri—" When they see the party area empty, he gets mad. "Can you wait here?" Mr. Maellard gets out of the cart, and he drives off to look for the gang. "Whoa!" Thomas said. Skips sets the coordinates on the machine. "I think I almost got it." Benson and Thomas enter the kitchen.

"Gaahh!!" Benson shouted. "Oh, there you guys are." Thomas said. "Did I not make myself perfectly clear?! Papa Eagle is out there and NO CAKE AND NO GUESTS!! What PART of "surprise party" do you NOT UNDERSTAND?!" Benson asked. "It'll be fine. We just had a few setbacks. There was this angry woman..." (Y/n) began. "And these shaggy-looking business guys..." Rigby added. "But (Y/n)'s sisters and Eileen helped us to make this better cake. It's just a little too big to get out the door." Mordecai said. "But now we got this teleporter, so—" Rigby said.

"Are you kidding me?! I've had this whole surprise party planned out, AND NOW THERE'S NO SURPRISE!!!" Benson shouted. "But the teleporter—" Rigby said. Benson snatches the teleporter. "FORGET THE TELEPORTER!!!" He shouted. "No! We can still save the party!" (Y/n) shouted. The three wrestle over the device which finally goes off and teleports the cake and everyone else out of the room. Back to the party area, the wind blows off the tablecloth off the table as Mr. Maellard is still standing. "This is how they throw a birthday party?

THERE'S NO ONE HERE! This is how they treat me... after all I've done for them?" He sighs; quietly. "It's lonely at the top." He sheds a tear. The cake appears in the sky and it starts to fall. Mr. Maellard turns and sees the cake fall and it lands on the table as frosting splats on his face and everyone pops out of the cake. "Surprise!" (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby said. "Ah... ah..." Mr. Maellard shouted. "Papa is so surprised he doesn't know what to say!"

Pops said. Everyone cheers until Mr. Maellard passes out. Later, Mr. Maellard is in a hospital bed where he wakes up. "That was the best birthday surprise of my life! Where am I?" He asked. "You're in the hospital." (Y/n) said. "You've been in a coma for three weeks." Mordecai said. "Sir, I can't tell you how sorry I am. I just..." Benson said. "What do you have to be sorry about? I've always wanted to be in a coma. I'm impressed you figured out what to get the man that has everything. This birthday really takes the cake." Mr. Maellard said. He and Pops laugh.
