"So why are we here again?" Dipper asked once they arrived at the fair. He was still a little grumpy from being woken up early by his great uncle.
"Well, you kids have been helping me a lot in the Shack over the last few days so I've decided to give you a little reward for it." Stan answered.
"And what exactly do you gain from this?" the boy asked again, eyeing him suspiciously.
Stan groaned in annoyance. "Seriously, why does everyone think I'm up to something whenever I'm trying to be nice!?"
"Come on Dipper! It'll be fun!" Mabel chimed in.
Dipper sighed and nodded. "Alright, let's go." With that, they both left the car and raced to the entrance with Stan not far behind. After spending an hour going through the rides, the twins sat on a bench exhausted.
"Hey, you kids wanna go get some ice cream?" asked Stan.
"Yeah!" Mabel hopped off the bench and followed him, but then she stopped when she noticed her brother hadn't moved. "Aren't you coming?"
"Nah, you go without me. I'll be waiting here." Dipper said. Mabel nodded and walked away. As he waited, Dipper pulled out Journal 3 and began reading through it catching the attention of three other kids nearby.
"Hey, whatcha reading there, nerd?" one bulky boy walked over and snatched the book that he found interesting from Dipper.
"Hey that's mine! Give it back!" Dipper shouted and tried to take it back from him, but the other boy raised the book in the air so he won't be able to reach it and shoved Dipper to the ground, scowling at him.
"C'mon, let's teach this nerd a lesson." He said to his two friends. Dipper curled into a ball as the three kids gathered around him and began hitting him in every spot in his body.
"STOP!" a voice yelled.
All the kids turned to see Mabel and a very angry Stan glaring at them. "Get away from him now!" the three kids quickly did what they were told. Mabel quickly went to check on her brother.
"Are you okay?" Mabel asked in concern.
"Yeah," he said as she helped him stand up. Stan then turned to the three kids and scowled at them.
"Give my nephew his book back and apologize right now!" he shouted. The boy quickly gave Dipper the journal back and apologized before running away with his two friends.
Stan sighed once they left and placed a hand on Dipper's shoulder. "Sorry for what happened kid, you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Dipper replied and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Thanks for what you did back there though."
Stan grinned. "Anytime kid,"
