(The Mystery Shack, Dipper and Mabel's Bedroom; 6:55 pm)

Dipper opens the door to see the room completely in the dark, almost crashing on something once he got inside. Once in, Dipper sighs in frustration as he takes out the 20 dollars Pacifica gave him and looked at them.

"I can't believe it took me longer to get here than what I expected." muses Dipper, unaware of the opening of two brown eyes in the dark room as he counted the 20 dollars she gave him. "And I still wonder why Pacifica would even give me this much money. Sure she gave me her reason, should I really believe that was her reason?"

A clap is heard twice and the lights turn on, Dipper looking up and then turning to see Mabel on her bed with an angry look on her face. "Hello, dear brother." greeted Mabel with a stern tone.

"Oh, hello, Mabel! Sorry if I came a little bit later than expected. Walking back here too longer than I thought." said Dipper, waving his hand.

The girl gets off her bed as Dipper closes the door with his free hand, snatching away the boy's money and counting it as Dipper gives her an annoyed look. "Where did you got this money?" questioned Mabel as she counted the money. "Stan very rarely gives us this much, and I know Wendy and Soos have no reason to give you this much either."

"Oh, umm, Pacifica gave them to me." answered Dipper as Mabel handed him back his money, but not before raising an eyebrow in response. "She just handed them for...some reason! Yeah, that's why she gave them to me: some reason!"

The boy scratched the back of his head nervously as Mabel narrowed her look at him. "Uh huh, I'll ask you another question." remarked Mabel before taking out a spoon from her back. "Do you recognize this spoon? Because it has your taste in it."

Dipper looked at the spoon, raised an eyebrow and then turned to his sister. "How did you realize the taste of the spoon was mine?" asked Dipper in confusion.

"Don't ask what doesn't need to be known!" scolded Mabel, blushing as she looked away. Her blush disappeared as she turned back to her brother with an angry expression. "Besides, that is not important to the topic! You were with Pacifica at the park, the taste of the spoon proves it! And now, just after a little accidental kiss, you get some money from her? Sorry, Dipper, but that's too suspicious to overlook. You can't trust Pacifica."

"Why not?"

"Dipper, if somebody knows that Pacifica's not somebody to be trusted, It's me."

"Didn't you warm up to her after the incident with the lilliputtians?"

"Warming up to someone is not the same as becoming friends with them, unfortunately." stated Mabel, sighing before her tone changed to a sad one as she gave her brother a worried look. "Just please understand that you can't just blindly enter a relationship with someone else. I have already tried and managed to do so in a few cases, and none of them have had a happy ending. I don't want you to suffer the same thing I did, Dipper, I really don't."

Dipper looks away with a slightly angry look as Mabel walks to the phone, grabbing it and inputting Pacifica's cell phone number as she speaks. "I'm gonna call Pacifica, she needs to know that we're gonna see her later."

(Northwest Mansion, Pacifica's Bedroom)

Pacifica, now in her pajamas, got on her bed and rested her head on her pillow, reaching for the bedsheet before the phone rung. Unable to ignore the phone, Pacifica got up and then off her bed, walking to the phone with an aggravated look on her face.

"Who would be crazy enough to call at my home at this hour?" complained Pacifica as she reached for the phone, answering the call before she continued. "Whoever's calling make it quick, I need to go to sleep."

"Pacifica, we gotta talk." stated Mabel with a serious tone.

"Mabel?" asked Pacifica with a slightly shocked tone.

"Yes, Pacifica, It's me." stated the girl with irritation.

"Why are you-"

"Just do as I say and come to the shack in 10 minutes. We need to discuss something important related to Dipper." stated Mabel with an aggravated tone. "I know that both of you were going to start a relationship, and I need to take the necessary precautions and do some tests before I can allow such a thing to happen. Mabel out."

The phone rang as Pacifica looked shocked, hung the phone and walked away.

(Behind the Mystery Shack; 10 minutes later)

A spotlight turned on and off sporadically as Dipper and Pacifica met. The duo initially avoided eye contact, the spotlight turning off as they walked closer to each other, exchanging flustered looks just before the spotlight turned on and Mabel, with her arms crossed, was revealed to be watching the scene, coughing a bit to get the duo's attention.

"Look, I'm not a bad girl, I'm just someone who wants to make sure her younger sibling does not fall prey to a partner that only sees him a toy to play with." affably said Mabel, glancing between her brother and Pacifica. "If you want me to accept your relationship, you need to show me that it would be a stable one, and to do that we're gonna do this: you both will spend a day together, preferably tomorrow, whether at the park or wherever you like, and I'll monitor you from afar."

"That sounds comforting." sarcastically replied Dipper.

"And what if we don't succeed at doing that?" asked Pacifica.

"Then I'll tell Stan that you wanted to use Dipper as a toy, playmate and or boyfriend. What would somebody call that, eitherway? Toyfriend? Boymate?" the girl received unamused looks from Dipper and Pacifica in response. "You're right, I'm missing the point. As I was saying, I'll tell Stan about that, and then he will never allow you to see Dipper ever again."

Dipper and Pacifica exchange worried looks as the spotlight started to turn on and off sporadically again. "Take into consideration what I just said, and do not try to fool me." warned Mabel, narrowing her look as she continued. "Dipper may be the smarter twin, but I have my own tricks upon my sweater's sleeves. I'm prepared to react towards any other option you might think, from calling your parents to bribe me, to Dipper trying to distract me with candy, I'm ready for anything. Show me that your relationship can work, or it's game over."

The sporadic nature of the spotlight slows down and reaches for the "off" setting, Mabel giving the boy and girl a serious look as she state the next. "Remember, I'm only doing this for the greater good. My brother's, to be exact."

The spotlight finally turns off...and then turns on, showing that Mabel is nowhere to be seen. Having seen that, Dipper and Pacifica share one last look before they greet each other goodbye, walking back to their houses soon afterwards.
