Breakfast was awkward. Very, very awkward.

Mabel stabbed her pancakes with her fork, and Dipper continuously stared at the ceiling.

Soos, sensing the tension, tried to come up with some halfway decent topic to clear the air.

"So... um... how's everything with Gideon going?" he asked.

The Pines twins both glared at Soos. Mabel looked like she was about ready to throw that fork at him.

"Should I have said anything?..."

"No. It's ok." Dipper said calmly. "In fact, I think I might just go on another date with him."

"Wait a minute, you're DATING GIDEON?" Grunkle Stan walked in, shocked. "I didn't want ANY of you to be associated with him. Now you're DATING?!"

"They're not 'dating'!" Mabel burst out. "Can we just move on?"

"Mabel, we can't just 'move on'!" Dipper yelled. "I love him and that's that!"

"Please. You're under a spell!"

Soos had never seen them like this. You know, they were pretty good kids. He didn't want to see them rip eachother apart.

"You can't control who I date, Mabel!"

"Oh yes I can! You did it when I was with Gideon!"

"That was different!" Dipper said defensively.

"How so?"

"For one thing, you didn't even WANT to date him!"

"BECAUSE HE WAS MENTALLY INSANE!" Mabel screamed.

"Listen, maybe you two should just agree to disagree-"

"NOT NOW SOOS!" they both yelled.

"At this point, I'd rather you date ANYONE else than Lil' Gideon." Mabel said.

"Like who?" Dipper responded bitterly.

"I don't know, Wendy? Candy?" she asked.

"Oh please, we ALL know Candy is more into Grenda-"

"Alright, how about ROBBIE?"

"Robbie? He hates me! And isn't he dating Wendy?" he stated.

"He and Wendy broke up last night! Remember?"

"Oh yeah... well, he still hates me. Hate is hate, right?"

"Actually," Soos interjected. "Weren't you telling me about some love/hate relationship in one of those BL mangas you read?"

Dipper blushed. "NO I WASN'T!"

"WHAT? Dipper, you STOLE MY MANGA!"

"Uh, heh heh..."

Mabel paused. "Wait a minute, if you like reading BL... then why the heck did you have a crush on Wendy?"

"Probably to hide his crush on her boyfriend..." Grunkle Stan muttered in the kitchen.

"I-I DIDN'T HAVE A C-CRUSH ON ROBBIE!" Dipper stammered.

He walked to where Grunkle Stan was standing.

"How did you find out anyways?" he whispered.

"Well, let's see, you randomly start proclaiming a crush on a girl, whom you had no chance with, for no reason, Mabel and her friends are more manly than you'll ever be... shall I continue?"

"Please do!" Mabel snickered. "Seeing Dipper embarrassed is the next best thing to seeing him break up with Gideon!"


Gideon walked out the front door of his house, carefully avoiding his dad, who kept trying to get him to do some publicity stunt lately.

"Oh, the audience loved that Mabel girl you were dating!" He had said. "It's a shame it didn't work out! Got yer' eye on another little lady?"

Gideon cringed at the thought. He wasn't going to be humiliated like that again.

Plus, if his dad found out he had actually kissed Dipper Pines, of all people, he would probably disown him or something. It was literally like Romeo and Juliet, except hopefully six people wouldn't die because of it.

He was headed to the Mystery Shack now, maybe so he could talk some sense into Dipper. He didn't think Dipper was going to be stupid enough to broadcast their relationship over all of Gravity Falls, but who knows what could happen with that weird love spell.

In hindsight, if he had wanted Mabel to fall for him, he could've just been a better person. Or became a vampire. That would have been very effective.

But everything happens for a reason right?

And though he hated to admit it, kissing Dipper was much better than kissing Mabel. Not that the latter had actually happened.

Before he knew it, Gideon had arrived at the Mystery Shack.

"Here goes nothing..." Gideon said, knocking.

Dipper and Mabel both answered the door.

"What do you want, Gideon?" Mabel asked suspiciously.

"Look, can I talk to Dipper? Alone?"

Dipper glared at Mabel. "Well, you heard him, go back to eating."

Mabel frowned. "Fine. Whatever."

Gideon stared at Dipper. He looked really cute today...

What was he thinking? God, nothing was going his way lately. Now he starts thinking these gushy thoughts.

"Dipper, I was just wondering... would you like to go out with me?"

Yay! I finally updated sooner! Anyways, about this chapter, it was kinda cracky XDD. But this isn't a super-dramatic fanfic anyways.

I got asked about Muffin Explosion: will I be writing any fanfiction for that pairing? The answer to that is probably. I need to finish up some other fanfics first, and I need to actually get a story idea. It will probably be a songfic.

So please read & review!

PS: I'm probably going to watch No.6 again after this! ^o^/

It's a really cool anime, and the manga is amazing too!
