"Hey, who's there?" said Grunkle Stan as he entered the Laundry Room. "It better not be that emo teenage thief!"
He then immediately turned on the lights to reveal the now 16 year-old Dipper, searching through the washed clothes.
"Dipper!?" said Grunkle Stan, very surprised.
"Uh..." replied the older Dipper nervously." I... went through puberty yesterday..."
Grunkle Stan paused for a bit, then answered saying: "Well. It sure happens faster than it did back in the day..."
"You believe me!?" asked Dipper happily.
"Yeah, whatever. But now you've gone through puberty, I think we need a talk, kid."
"No, no, no! I'm fine..." said Dipper. "I'm just finding some clothes that can fit me."
"Your old clothes fit you fine!" replied Grunkle Stan. "Wait, that's strange, your old clothes fit you fine..."
"I bought some new ones!" said Dipper instantly. "But... haha... I'm older now, I need a change if clothes..."
"Whatever." said Stan, handing 5 $20 dollar bills to Dipper. "Have fun."
"Really!?"
"Yeah sure, " replied Stan. "Just don't let them try to see through those in broad sunlight. And also, when you're back- we need that conversation."
"Okay, I'm fine..." said Dipper. "Thanks Grunkle Stan!"
As Dipper ran out the room he bumped into someone, however, normally he would fall over but now, being much taller, he simply brushed it off.
"Oh, sorry-" began Dipper, when he realized it was Mabel he bumped into.
"Sorry sir!" said Mabel, unaware that it was Dipper, until she looked up at him. Confused... she then said: "Dipper...?"
"Sorry Mabel, gotta run! Explain later!" he said, as he rushed out the door towards town.
Mabel stared at the direction Dipper ran too as Grunkle Stan patted her back. "What was that?" asked Mabel to Stan.
"Puberty." said Stan. "It happens to all of use eventually..." Suddenly, Stan blew his nose. "They grow up so fast..." he said as he started to cry.
Suddenly, Mabel realized the book fell out of Dipper's pocket, yet Stan hadn't. While Stan was still crying, Mabel picked up the book and tucked it in her Jumper.
