Hiya! I'm running out of things to name my chapters so... please, please help me!

Chapter Four- Afternoon

"Well well, if it isn't Dipper Pines," Gideon said. "How are you today?"

"What do you want, Gideon?" Dipper said.

"Now, Dipper," Gideon said accusingly. "What makes you think I want something from you?" He looked down at Mabel. "Hm, now what do we have here?"

Dipper blinked. "Oh! Um, this is our dog." He glared down at Mabel. "Our very quiet dog." Mabel growled at Gideon.

"Well, it's a very cute dog." Gideon said, patting Mabel on the head. She snarled and bit Gideon's hand. "Ouch!"

Dipper tugged lightly on Mabel's leash. "Oh, bad bad dog." he sarcastically.

Gideon rubbed his hand. "Well, animals generally don't like me anyway. Strange, I've never seen a dog with spikes on it's back... or braces."

"Yeah, weird isn't it?" Dipper said, walking away. "Goodbye, Gideon." Mabel shot a final bark at him, then followed Dipper and Waddles.

Gideon snorted and pulled out volume 2. "Where on earth could Dipper have possibly gotten a Malkrobuss?"

Dipper, Wendy, and Soos looked down at Mabel. "Woah, dude, so you're, like, a dog now?" Soos said.

"Not really a dog," Dipper said, showing Wendy and Soos the page in volume 3. "She's a Malkrobuss, the monster that scratched her."

"Woah, that's so cool!" Wendy said. Mabel wagged her tail.

"It might be," Dipper said, flipping through the pages. "if I could find the cure!"

"You don't know how to change her back?" Wendy asked.

"That's what I just said!" Dipper replied angrily, throwing the book to the ground. "Stupid, useless book! Can't tell me how to change my sister back!" Mabel whimpered and nuzzled Dipper's leg.

"You'll figure it out eventually, don't worry!" Wendy said. "Meanwhile, what are we going to do?"

"It would be easier if she could still talk, dude." said Soos. "Then we'd know what she wants to do, or something."

Dipper scratched his head. "Well, maybe she doesn't need to talk for us to understand!" He bent down. "What do you want to do?" Wendy and Soos bent down too.

"Come on! Come on, girl! What do you want, girl?" they chorused. Mabel snorted at them. Dipper stood up and scratched his head again. "Maybe she doesn't like being treated like a... dog?" Mabel shook her head. "So what do you want to do?" Mabel nudged her collar. "Of course. Collars are your new version of sweaters." Mabel nodded. "Alright, if you get your allowance down here."

"Hold it!" Stan shouted. Everyone turned around. "I spy with my little eye," He picked up Mabel. "Something that will make me money!"

"Grunkle Stan, I don't think she'd like that." Dipper said.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Stan laughed. "She's going in an exhibit and she's going to make money! Right?" Mabel sighed and nodded. "Great! Glad we're on the same page. You just need a new collar."

"Don't encourage her!" Dipper cried.

"You three get back to work. Soos, go restock the supplies. Wendy, do something at the register." He pulled eight bucks out of his pocket. "Dipper, get your sister another collar. Don't spend it all, though. Something that works for a monster."

Dipper grumbled and stomped away with the money. Mabel watched, then followed Stan away.

I know that was kind of lame, I promise better in the next chapter. Again, please help with chapter names!
