"And this is the Mystery Shack's Shop Register Counter. This is where the 'magic' happens... Or something." Grunkle Stan said, pointing at everything in the room to show Candy what's he talking about, but that was obvious of course. The reason why Candy has Grunkle Stan doing this because she asked if she could possibly take over Wendy's shift today. That way, she could make some quick cash (even if it's not that much), spend some more time with her best friend Mabel and seeing if she could also talk to her twin brother Dipper, too. Thinking about all of it made her excited, but she almost wasn't listening to Stan. "Neat! I always wanted the feel of owning a store." Candy spoke, already sitting down behind the counter. "Yeah, yeah, well, have fun with it. I gotta go." Stan said, adjusting his tie and straightening out his black suit, walking towards the door until Dipper already shown his face inside the store, calling out for Grunkle Stan. Seeing Dipper made Candy's face light up.

"Good luck Candy, with... Whatever it is to go do... Come on, Grunkle Stan! Those other tourists outside are not going to 'con' themselves, you know!" Dipper continued calling out. Before Candy had the chance to say something to Dipper, both of the guys quickly bolted out the door. "Well... I guess I can still talk to you after I'm done here..." she said, feeling a bit sad. However, the sorrow quickly went away at the thought of the situation she's in right now. "Aw, this is gonna be sweet! My OWN STORE! Awesome! I'm gonna get my friends here and we'll call some boys over, playing some party music and punching those guys in their stomachs! I think I can say, with great confidence, that there is NO downside to this. No downside at ALL!" she cheered, sticking her face into the phone book to find some contacts.

Quickly, though, a bell is heard, indicating that a customer came into the store. It was Robbie. He walked straight to the counter and asked, "Hey, Pines. Can you get me another magazine?" "Sure, th-" Candy stopped when she looked up from the phone book, only to see Robbie. Robbie was also shocked to see Candy too. Both of them were silent for a bit, staring at each other, until Candy broke the silence.

"NO WONDER THE STORE WAS SO CHEAP!" she yelled out loud, looking at the ceiling now. Robbie took a few steps back, worried about what's to come next. The reason that they're acting weird towards each other is because a while ago, Robbie accidentally did something inappropriate to Candy and since then, she hated his guts. Now, Candy was just giving him the 'dead-eye thousand-yard' stare. "Hey, you should leave that jacket behind. You MIGHT maybe look less ugly without it." Candy growled. "Look, kid. I'm sorry, but I already told you: it was an accident!" Robbie blushed at the memory. "You're getting on my last nerve, Robbie..." Candy growled again, breaking a lot of pencils with only one hand.

Robbie knew that she'll never let it go. Suddenly, Robbie's got another idea that might make things better for the both of them. "Hey, listen kid, I know that you're still mad about that, so let me make a deal with you. I'll let you beat me up to your liking and then, we'll call it even. Does that sound alright with you?" he asked her with his hands up mid-way to show surrender. Candy felt open to the idea and elbow-resting on the counter, asking, "Are you sure about that?"

Author's Notes: It's been a very long time since I posted a story again. It's obvious that I'm going to be making a chapter 2, but I wanted to hear what you guys think of it so far. And if it's not too much to ask, let me know if you want me to make a "M-rated" story. That's been on my mind recently, but I'm not gonna unless if I hear the approval of others. Thanks for reading!
