Grunkle Stan felt bad for letting the kids get into this much trouble, so, he gathered everyone up the living room in order to tell them his 'surprise'.
Stan then saw Mermando (he calls him Romando) being comforted by Mabel about something.
"Hey, kid, what's wrong?" Stan asks while Mermando looks up from his teary-brown eyes. "N-Nothing..." He stammers. "Grunkle Stan, Mer- I mean... Romando is upset about being... abandoned from his family."
Mabel speaks up, still hugging Mermando while sitting on the couch.
"Oh, sorry to hear about that." Grunkle Stan said, sadly. He then cleared his throat.
"Alright Dipper, Mabel, Romando, Wendy and Soos. I have an announcement to make..."
"What is it?" Dipper replies scratching his head
"I got us tickets to go on a cruise they've got games lots of stuff
We've had a rough past couple due to my son so I thought we could use the fun" Stan explains
"Thanks Grunkle Stan" Dipper replies
"Your Parents are staying here cause someone's got to look after the Shack and Mabel's Pig"
"OH OH DUDE CAN I COME?!" Soos exclaims
"Sure you can be the Pack Mule" Stan replies giving Soos a large load
"YUSH!" Soos says doing a fist bump.
Everyone laughs at Soos's statement. They then start packing their belongings for the cruise.
While they were packing, Mabel, again, noticed something wrong with Mermando. She went up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?" She asks, concerned.
"To think that I thought my parents loved me and they 'abandon' me like that? It hurts, Mabel..." Mermando explained, looking at his clam-shell necklace.
"Don't worry, Mermando! We're always there for you, and we are going on vacation! Be happy, man!" Mabel cheers, lightly punching Mermando on the shoulder.
Mermando chuckles. "Si, you are right, mi amore."
After they have finished packing, the gang goes into the car. Wendy, being so tall to fit in, she used her own car to follow from behind.
As the 'El diablo' started cranking up, Grunkle Stan turned on the radio and drove as they were listening to 'Life is a highway' by Rascal flatts.
Now our heros will be relaxing in a nice cruise. Ahh, peace at last... Will it last?
