It was a gloomy and rainy day. The sound of rain pouring did not help the boy's mood. He had no plans for today because all his plans were about spending time with Pacifica but did not turn out right. Dipper looks up towards the ceiling, not moving or showing any emotion. He was just thinking.
"I need to do something to get my mind off of it..."
Who better to help but Mabel herself! She barges into the room unwelcomed, happy as ever to see his brother laying on his bed.
"Hey Dipper! Me and Wendy are planning to make Waddles wear stuff we made the past week! It's gonna be amazing!"
"Okay.." Dipper gets up slowly and stands up ready to help her hyped up sister.
"What's the problem Dipper? We can't have a sad judge! C'mon Dippingsauce! Smile for the camera!" She takes out a rectangular cardboard box then realizing that she drew on it to make it look like a camera. It made Dipper sort-of happy.
"Say cheese!" Mabel get's ready to take the "photo." Dipper gives a weak smile but a smile no less.
"Great! Now let's go downstairs and eat lunch first! I'm starving!" Mabel runs downstairs leaving Dipper in the dust.
[Northwest Manor]
"Daughter remember how to eat. I know you've been spending a lot of time with that Pines boy but that shouldn't mean you would forget how to eat properly."
"Yes father..." Pacifica says in a depress tone as she stops toying with her food.
"We have to go to the town central to make a speech abut our great town and how we have been very beneficial to the town. I expect you to get get yourself dressed and for the speech." He gets up off his luxury chair and to his office to write down the speech.
"I would be somewhere more exciting than this if I didn't act the way I did to Dipper." Pacifica pouts as she then gets up to go to her room to get ready for her upcoming speech.
[Mystery Shack]
"Haha I got ya!"
Splash
"Take that!" Mabel throws an oddly shaped water balloon towards Dipper.
Splat!
*Cough* *Cough*
"Hey what was in that thing?!" Rubbing his eyes.
"That was my best creation yet! It's called the Glitter bomb! How about another one!"
Splat
Dipper fell onto the ground filled with glitter on his face. He tries to figure out how to get the glitter off his face. An idea arose.
"Agh where is it..."
Searching for the water balloon on the ground but the glitter that got stuck on his face blocked his eyesight.
"There you are!"
Splash
Just like that the water balloon war has ended with Mabel having the last laugh.
"I win!" Mabel jumps up with glee.
"That's not fair. There is a reason why it's called a water balloon fight." Dipper stands up and pats his cloths from the dirt.
"Haha it's called strategy Dipper!" She makes a big innocent smile towards Dipper which Dipper smiles back.
"Hey Mabel?"
"What's up Dippy Fresh?" Snickering of the fond memory she had during the Weirdmagenon.
"Haha. Don't bring that up again Mabel. Anyways as a brother, why are you always so positive...?"
Mabel looks at Dipper with confusion.
"That's because that's who I am Dum-dum!"
"C'mon Mabel. I worry about you sometimes. I can't tell if you are hurt because you choose to hide it. I'm your brother."
Mabel frowns as she explains why.
"I'm always positive because it makes my friends happy. Everyone around me is always so serious and smart... Remember when I tried to be serious? I still felt dumb around you guys..."
Dipper shows pity to Mabel as he gets closer to hug his sister until...
"That's not all! I'm also positive so that I can try to be your older sister! Mom and Dad never shown any love to us when we grew up and all those bullies who bullied you in school made it worse. So when we first arrived to Gravity Falls I swore to myself that I would be the best sister ever!" Tears fell from her eyes as Dipper walks up to comfort her.
"But who's there to look out for you? We are siblings, we should always have our backs just like those bad days we had irn the past. That should always be happening rather then you always looking out for me Mabel."
"O-Oh... I never looked at it that way. Thanks bro-bro." She gives a genuine smile rather then a smile which seemed if it were forced.
"So what are we go-"
"Kids! We're driving to the festival! Get dressed!" Grunkle Stan closes the door as he went to get dressed too.
They have arrived in a warm afternoon at the festival. Grunkle Stan parked his car and grabs a bulky suitcase with him.
"What's that for?" Diper says as he removed his seat belt.
"Oh this thing? Yea it's just filled with propaganda to promote the Shack. in fact I've got a job for you kids to do."
"What's the job?" Mabel says confused.
"I want you two to ask people what weirds them out the most. It'll help our attractions." He hands them a note book and pencils to write down the information.
"Go kids! I want to see at least half the notebook filled with new ideas for new attractions."
Grunkle Stan watches them leave until they are out of sight and then walks into a secluded area. The suitcase was filled with gadgets and "state of the art" equipment.
"Alright poindexter, let's start searching."
