After they had pancakes for lunch ( Sam ate twice as much as any of them. He was just one of those skinny kids with an appetite), they admired Dippers photo hanging on the wall of fame.

It use to be that there was a single wall dedicated to anyone who past, but after Manly Dan broke the machine, another one was put up, for people who had actually broken the machine. They'd taken Dippers photo down from the hall of shame, dedicated to everyone who had failed it terribly (which had been put up on the day Dipper failed it terribly. He was the only one on it.), and put up next to Manly Dan.

Dipper then had to swear that he would never touch the manliness tester again.

"How did you do it?"

Mabel was still a little in shock.

"It doesn't add up. You have noodle arms, you're shorter than me, the last time you tried that thing they put up a hall of shame to show how badly you failed. How did you blow it up?"

"Maybe I've just become that manly."*Still Smiling*

"So maybe you shouldn't tease him about being otherwise." *Walk up to his friend*"This guy's super manly."

Sam and Dipper high five.

Mabel wasn't buying it.

"Did you cheat with some kind of magicy thing again? You did, didn't you?"

"Not this time Mabel."

Dipper really didn't know how it happened, but he was glad it did. He knew that something had helped him beat the machine, now his sister and Trixie couldn't tease him about being unmanly.

"Fine but I'm watching you, and when you let your guard down I will find what you're hiding and prove that you're still a wimp. Got it? I'm never going to loss focus and am never going to take my eye's off you."

*Dull voice*"Oh look. Pacifica."

"What? Where?"

Mabel simultaneously lost focus, and took her eyes off Dipper.

Pacifica and her posse had walked into the diner, even though they would never eat there, they had heard that someone managed to overload the manliness tester who wasn't the lumberjack.

"Oh hey Hun. Shouldn't be surprised that you and the magician girl eat at this place. Probably should keep your pig away from here, they might serve him as a side. Wouldn't be any good though, being looked after by a dumb, little, girl, probably would taste like yarn, glitter, and mud."

Dipper was about to jump in and defend Mabel like he always did, but Sam beet him to it.

"Hey Pacifica! At least she's not a walking stereotype! How does it feel to know that the second you mess up, the second you do something out of character, the people that pretend to be your friends are going to eat you alive?"

Pacifica looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't cry."

This wasn't a dare, it was an order.

"When you get tired of living that half life, and want real friends who won't stab you back when you mess up, come looking for us. You won't get turned down."

Pacifica got an angry look on her face.

"Bite me!"

Sam gave a big smile, leaned over, and whispered something into her ear. Pacifica's eyes went wide, she lost all expression, and her face turned bright red. Without saying a word turned and left the diner.

Her posse looked confused for a moment then went after their leader. Dipper, Mabel, and especially Trixie looked amazed at what just happened.

"What did you say to her?"

"You don't want to know." *Smiles* "Let's just leave it at she won't be able to look at me or Dipper for awhile without blushing."

After a few minutes Dipper and Sam left, Sam was going to have to go home soon, but Dipper still wanted to hang out.

"Seriously Sam, what did you say to Pacifica?"

Sam looked back at the diner to make sure the girls weren't around. Then he whispered what he had said into Dipper's ear.

Dipper started to laugh uncontrollably.

"You were right… I'm going to loss… sleep over that." *Gets up and wipes a tear from his eye*"No wonder she ran off."

"I know right? This way if she's messing with someone all you have to do pretty much is be seen. If that doesn't work, just give her a little wink and she should become so flustered she has to leaves."

*Blushes a little bit*"I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, I'm not exactly smooth with girls."

"Relax Dipper, you're a good looking boy, I bet there are tons of girls around Gravity Falls who have a crush on you."

"While the only one I really know about is Trixie and she… I can't believe I just said that out loud! She doesn't even know I know! I ended up in a position were I had to read her diary and… why did I just say that out loud!"

Sam looked a little surprised at the mention of Trixies name, but quickly got over it.

"Don't worry about it, secret's safe with me, if there's one thing I know how to do it's keep a secret. Oh! I almost forgot to ask. Do you want to hang out tomorrow? We could search for some REAL paranormal stuff."

"Sure! I have the day off tomorrow, and I've been dying to have an adventure with a boy my own age for a change."

"Awsome!"*Ring, ring, ring*

Sam reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone.

"Hello Mom. Oh, I'm at Greasy's Diner. I was hanging out with a friend. Ok, I'll see you soon. Love you to Mom."

*Puts phone away*"I need to head home, I live on the other side of town. So, see you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow Sam."

Samuel started to jog away. He waved to Dipper as he went home, and disappeared around a corner.

*Inside the Diner*

Trixie had been watching Sam and Dipper from the Diner as she and Mabel got ready to leave. She had seen Sam whisper something to Dipper and then Dipper fell on the ground laughing. He then said something to him, Dipper seemed to be a little embarrassed, then he got all flustered for some reason.

"Hey Mabel."

"Yeah?"

"What do you think of Dipper's new friend?"

"I don't know, kinda cute I guess, but I try not to charm Dipper's friends. He did stick up for me, and that look Pacifica got on her face priceless, so I think he seems nice. Why do you ask?"

Trixie looks concerned.

"I don't trust him. He… he scares me a little. I'm not sure why but when I saw him come in with Dipper I felt a shiver run down my back.

"Well he does look a little odd."

"It wasn't that Mabel. It's like he felt dangerous. When Dipper broke the manliness tester, Sam looked like he was concentrating, I swear I saw his eyes glow."

"Do you think he could be another fairy? After we met you we started to get more stuff like that. Or…"*Leans in and whispers* "do you think he could be a vampire? Because if he is, then Dipper's friend or not I'm getting me a boyfriend." *Starts drooling*

"Mabel! This is serious! Do you know how many things want to get you two in particular. I know he's not a fairy, remember not a lot of guy from were I come from, and even if he was, I'd be able to sense the magic in him."

"Stop worrying. I bet he's just a normal guy who gets along with Dipper, nothing dangerous about that."

"Humf… I really hope so Mabel."

*Sam's house*

Sam's mom was in their living room, she wore an orange sun dress, and both her eyes were green like Sam's left one. It hadn't even been five minutes since she called her son, before the door opened and Sam came in.

"Wow that was fast. It was like you flew. Did you fly?"

A big smile spreads on Sam's face.

"Maybe."
