Chapter 1: Mabel's Big Announcement

It was a normal day in the Mystery Shack, well, about as normal as it gets anyway. Wendy was slacking off at the casher table chewing gum, Soos was fixing a door which had been broken for about a week now, and Stan was leading a group of gullible tourists across the shack showing them an array of frauds and hoaxes he had created. Dipper was siting on the casher table with Wendy reading the journal when Mabel rushed in. She was wearing a lavender sweater with a large purple bow-tie on it; she had a big smile on her face, bigger than usual (which Dipper thought was humanly impossible).

"Guys! You won't believe what I'm about to tell you! Your brains will literally explode from amazement!" Mabel said, making an explosion-like gesture with hands and arms. "What? Did you finally get that weird guy that Stan keeps locked in that glass box to play a whole game of tic-tac-toe with you?" Wendy jokingly asked. "Better! I'mmmmm... going on a date!" "Congrats dude!" Soos exclaimed, poking his head in the door frame. "So who's the guy?" "I don't know exactly. They're all gonna be blind dates!" Mabel said with a jump. "Wait, all?" Dipper said cocking an eyebrow while he lowered the book from his face.

"Yep! Candy and Grenda are going to invite a bunch of guys to go on a date with me! That way I'm bound to get at least one boy to be my boyfriend." "I don't know Mabel, every time you try to get a boyfriend it ends badly." Dipper stated. "Relax bro bro, Candy and Grenda only pick the BEST! I'll be fine." Mabel then gasped. "I just remembered, I gotta look my best for them! Waddles! Get my makeup kit! And don't hold back on the glitter!" Mabel then ran out the room and upstairs. Dipper knew he should probably trust her, but something inside told him that today wasn't going to end well, for both him and Mabel...
