At the Mystery Shack, it was just as busy as it will ever be like one any other day. One of the customers, one by the name of Tyler was looking through the merchandise, trying to decide what to buy exactly.

"I like to get my christmas shopping done early." He said, before turning to Stan and Skyla, "Do you have anything in the spirit of the season?"

Skyla picked up a bowl that was labeled crystals, "Would these crystals be to your liking?"

Tyler chuckled, "Those look broken glasses."

"What are you a cop?" Stan said taking the bowl from Skyla's hands.

"Ooo! What's that new thing?" Tyler said, going over to what he saw.

The triplets had soon entered the room. "Grunkle Stan? Cousin Sky?" Dipper said getting their attention.

"Can we go to the diner to eat?" Mabel said before moving her stomach, "We're hunnngggrrryyy…"

"Huuuunnnnnngggggrrryyyyy…." Mira said moving her stomach as well.

"Huuuuuuuunnnnnnnnggggggrrrrryyyyyy…." Dipper had also said moving his stomach too. The triplets started to bump each others stomach's together, while they laughed. Skyla felt her shirt getting tugged, and soon realized it was her son Gary standing by her teen son Andrew. "Mom, please can we go to the diner?" Gary begged, being over dramatic, "I'll die of hunger…"

"I am craving for some diner food right about now." Andrew said.

"Sure Drew." Skyla said, "As soon as this guy makes up his mind."

Of course, Skyla was referring to Tyler, who was still deciding what to get. He was currently eyeing a fur trot. "Do you have this in another animal?" He asked.

Though none of them did answer his question. "Anyone got any complaints about locking him inside?" Stan asked, to which everyone had shook their head. They quickly and quietly exited the Shack, and locked him inside as he was deciding on which shirts to get. Stan got in his car with the triplets, while Skyla and her sons got in the other car, and they drove away with a quickness.

Eventually they had gotten to the diner, where it was just as busy as the Shack was on a daily basis. Andrew went to sit by Wendy when he saw she was in there eating some lunch as well, while the rest of the Pines family went to get a table big enough for six. They did and it was just near the back, and by the window.

They looked through the menu, and Lazy Susan had walked up to where they sat. "Lazy Susan, there's my little ray of sunshine!" Stan said, "Where were you yesterday?"

"I got hit by a bus!" Susan said with a smile. Stan was the only one at the table who laughed out loud. "Hilarious!" He said.

"Thank you!" Lazy Susan said back while she laughed.

Skyla made her order, "I'm fine with some salad, but go easy on the dressing."

Lazy Susan wrote her order down. "Anything else?" She asked.

"You do split plates right?" Stan asked Lazy Susan.

"Maybe." Lazy Susan replied, before making her lazy eye wink, "Wink! Wink!"

"Great!" Stan said, before making the order, "The rest of us will just split one fourth of the number seven, plus free salad dressing for the ladies, and two small ketchup plates for the boys." The kids groaned as Lazy Susan went to get their order.

"But Grunkle Stan, I want pancakes." Mabel said tugging on his sleeve.

"Yeah, come on!" Mira said before chanting, "Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!"

"With the fancy flour that use nowadays?" Stan said, "What am I made of money?" Stan saw that some money was showing from sleeve and went to push it back in. "Tap, tap." He said.

Gary looked to his mother, "Mom, can we please have pancakes?"

"I'm sorry honey, but not today." Skyla said, "Maybe next time."

Dipper looked over the diner and saw that there was a Manliness Tester just at the other side of the diner. He had hatched an idea, "Don't worry guys." He said, "Pancakes are on me, I'm gonna win some by beating that manliness tester."

The whole table went silent.

"Manliness Tester?" Stan said with a raised eyebrow.

"Beating?" Mabel said with the same expression as Stan.

Stan and Mabel had started to burst out laughing; Skyla had stifled a laughter, though Mira and Gary didn't seem to have found it funny. "I don't get what's so funny about that?" Gary said.

"Me neither." Mira said.

"Yeah, what's so funny?" Dipper asked. Mabel said after she caught her breath from laughing, "No offense Dipper, but you're not exactly Manly Mannington. Ha! Ha!"

Dipper felt insulted by that, "Hey! I am too Manny- or Manly- Whatever it is you said."

"Dipper is manly enough!" Gary said.

"I still don't see why you think it's funny?" Mira said.

"Come on, he's gotta face the music kid." Stan said, "Dipper's got no muscles, he smells like baby wipes."

"And do we have to mention last Tuesday's little, incident?" Skyla asked.

Dipper's face turned red at this as he thought back to what happened.

-Last Tuesday-

Skyla was looking around the shack for something. "Mom? What is it?" Andrew asked when he noticed his mother looking for something. "Have you seen my CD and radio?" Skyla asked her son, "I could've sworn I left it around here somewhere."

Andrew thought about it for a moment, "Oh, I think I saw Dipper with it a minute ago."

"Dipper?" Skyla said with confusion.

Upstairs in the bathroom Dipper was dancing and singing to a song that was on Skyla's borrowed radio.

Disco girl! Coming through! That girl is you!

Dipper was suddenly startled when Stan had entered the bathroom.

"DON'T COME IN! DON'T COME IN!" He yelled.

-Present-

"You were listening to girly Icelandic pop sensation BABBA?" Mira asked her brother.

Dipper laughed nervously as he replied, "No, I wasn't listening to it, I was uh… Criticizing it! But that's not the point! Look you guys I'm pretty masculine. You see this chest hair?" Dipper brought down his shirt to show them his chest hair; though Mabel and Stan were blinded by the fact that Dipper didn't have chest hair at all.

"PUT IT AWAY! PUT IT AWAY!" Mabel shouted.

"SO SMOOTH!" Stan exclaimed, "MY EYES!"

"Oh brother…" Skyla said shaking her head, "I know you're trying to say Dipper's not manly, but you guys are being overdramatic…"

Dipper quickly hid his chest and once again blushed out of embarrassment, "Aw man…" Mabel and Stan started to laugh again.

"Fine family of little faith." Dipper said getting up from his seat, "Get ready to eat your words."

"And some delicious pancakes!" Mira added.

"What she said." Dipper said.

Dipper got up from his seat and walked to the machine, rolling up his sleeves as he did. As he walked to the machine everyone in the diner turned to him. Dipper looked at the handle, though he felt himself start to sweat nervously. "Okay Dipper, you can do this… Time to man handle this man… Handle."

Dipper reached for the handle, "And a one and a two-"

"QUIT STALLING!" He heard Stan shout.

Dipper took a deep breath and pulled the handle. It went up from wimp, to middle-age woman, to barely possible, to man and about to go to manly man, though it went back down to wimp. It had printed out a card that had read "You're a cutie patootie!"

"Oh what?" Dipper said, "This thing must be broken."

Gary walked up, "Let me take a crack at it."

"Gary, no offense but you're not exactly manly either." Skyla said, "Not to mention you don't have chest hair."

Gary had gotten slightly irritated at that, "I too am manly, just watch me!" He said before pulling on the handle. Though the meter didn't go very far; it was at wimp much like Dipper. He had even gotten the same card.

"Dang it!" Gary mumbled as he turned red from embarrassment.

Dipper tried to make up an excuse on why this had happened, "This thing must be broken guys. It's like the million years old, probably ran out of steam-" He had stopped in mid-sentence when Manly Dan approached the machine. "It's rickety man you probably shouldn't-" Gary said before getting pushed out of the way along with Dipper by him.

All Manly Dan did was push the machine handle with his pinky and the machine had basically imploded, causing the pancakes to fly and land on everyone's plate. "YES!" He shouted, "FREE PANCAKES FOR EVERYONE!"

Everyone in the diner cheered loudly when they had gotten their pancakes.

Dipper and Gary looked at one another and both thought of the same thing. "We gotta get chest hair and fast!" Dipper said to Gary.

"My thoughts exactly!" Gary said before shouting, "ONWARD!" With that he ran out the door and Dipper followed, though he tripped on the way out. "I'm okay, I'm okay." Dipper said before walking out the door.

"Wow…" Skyla said speechless, "Sounds like they both serious."

"And exactly how am I related to those two?" Stan asked, rhetorically of course.

"Grunkle Stan don't be like that." Mira said, before asking, "You have a soft spot too don't you?"

"Nope." Stan replied, "There's nothing but a cold dark empty soul."

They all suddenly jumped when a plate was suddenly put in front of Stan, by Lazy Susan. "Food!" She said.

"Thanks sugar pot." Stan stammered, which earned a look from his daughter and nieces, "I-I mean honey wasp, kitten baby, ba-baby cow."

Lazy Susan laughed, "Ha! Ha! Silly!" She walked away from the table, "Silly…"

Skyla raised an eyebrow at this, "Dad… Why were you stammering?"

"Yeah, what was that about?" Mira asked.

Stan started to stammer again as he replied, "No-Nothing, I don't want to talk about it! Talk about what? Why is this table wet?"

Skyla, Mira and Mabel's eyes soon widened in realization. "Wait! Hold the phone!" Mabel said to Stan, "We're all thinking the same thing ladies! You…"

"No!"

"And her…"

"Stop it!"

"AAAHHH!"

"Oh boy…"

"You have a thing for Lazy Susan." Mabel said before making a kitten face

"Oh my gosh Grunkle Stan!" Mira said with a kitten face, "That is so adorable!"

"Wow dad." Skyla said, "You sly dog. And here I thought you said you didn't have a soft spot."

Stan immediately shushed all of them, "Keep it down you three!" Stan said, "Alright I admit it okay? It would be nice if she liked me."

"Than go talk to her." Skyla said to him, "You've got your charm, so use it."

"Sky, you know I haven't been with anyone else, not since your mother." Stan said, "I've been out of the game for so long I wouldn't even know where to start. I mean just look at her… She's so classy."

The girls looked to where Lazy Susan who was hitting the pie trolley, "Spin you pies, spin!" She said.

"Don't worry Grunkle Stan." Mira said, "We can help you with Lazy Susan."

"Really?" Stan asked.

Mabel than said, "Grunkle Stan, you're a cranky, gross, weird old man. But we will get Lazy Susan to like you because nothing is more stronger than the power of-"

"Love?" Stan said.

"Us." Mabel said, "But mostly Mabel."

Mabel took the small bowl next to Stan's food.

"TO VICTORY!" She said as she chugged it down.

"Mabel, you just drank salad dressing." Mira pointed out.

"I know, and I'm okay with that." Was all that Mabel said.
