Dipper and Mabel just finished another show at the Tent of Telepathy. Dipper went backstage while Mabel went down towards the audience.

There, nearby the exit way, was Gideon Pines. Mabel smiled and ran over there.

"Hi! Um, I mean, hey. Can I ask something?"

Gideon stepped aside so he wouldn't get out-of-the-way. "Sure Mabel. Just make it quick. I have to go somewhere."

"Yeah. Um. So. There's this new restaurant near the edge of town and I was wondering if you, um, would, er, go out with me? You know, to try the food out."

"Sure. Meet me at the Shack tonight."

"Really? That was kind of easier than expected."

"Yeah. We're just going to eat right?"

"Oh yeah. Just eat."

"OK then! See you tonight Mabel!" Gideon then ran off to catch up with his sister Pacifica.

Mabel sighed and went backstage with Dipper.

"Where were you?" asked her brother.

"Oh nowhere. But later today I need to go to that new restaurant downtown."

"That little old bistro?!" Dipper spoke with disgust.

"Yes that little bistro. It's a wonderful place to eat. At least that's what I heard."

"Can come with you then?"

"No," Mabel replied.

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Fine. Fine." Dipper continued on with his makeup while Mabel headed off to get ready. She put on a casual dress that was white with black dots.

I hope he likes me after this date. He didn't seem to think it was a date though. Maybe I can change his mind.

She put on her headband with the amulet. It was their trademark.

Then the girl got her purse and walked outside. Mabel made her was to the Shack and knocked on the door.

Inside, she heard footsteps and the sounds of the lock clicking. Gideon was dressed in his regular vest and hat with a blue pine tree.

"Hey. So should we go off to the bistro?"

"Yeah sure."

The two walked side by side until they reached the restaurant. It was a silent and awkward walk there. But it was short.

Gideon opened the door for Mabel and gestured his hand for her to enter. She smiled and went straight to the host. "Um I'm here for Mabel Gleeful, party of two."

The host looked through the book of reservations and saw her name. "Right this way ma'am."

He escorted them to a little table near the window that was decorated with two candles and a bottle of apple cider.

"Just as you requested ma'am. I'll be back later to take your order." He set down two menus on the table and left.

Being a gentlemen, Gideon pulled out Mabel's chair and once she sat, he pushed it in.

The girl opened the menu and Gideon sat down.

"This place is pretty nice. Thanks for taking me here again."

"No problem." Mabel took a breath. Just tell him how you feel. Tell him that you like him!

"You know what else is nice?"

Gideon looked up from the menu and asked, "What?"

"You. You're nice. I like you." Mabel covered her mouth noticing how awkward and weird that sounded.

"Wha-what? Woah. I like you too but not like that. We can just stay as friends. Maybe close friends. Sorry."

Mabel put her hands down and looked at the menu. She hid her face behind the menu and started to cry a little.

I just embarrassed myself! I won't be able to talk to him ever again! What have I done!?

The waiter came back and took their order. Mabel still had the menu covering her face. "J-j-just some w-water for m-me."

Gideon looked confused. "Um, I'll just have some soda."

"Okay so any food?"

"I'll h-have a p-pasta with s-shrimp."

"Make that two."

"Alrighty. I'll be here with your waters in just a second."

The waiter took the menus and walked away. He revealed Mabel's red puffy face. Her mascara was running down her face.

"Woah. Mabel, are you alright?"

She sniffled. "Y-yeah. I guess so." Gideon got his napkin and wiped her face. That was when he saw her eyes.

Something about them caused a spark and made Gideon feel somewhat interested in her.

"H-hey Mabel?"

The girl stopped sniffling and said, "Yes?"

"I know this sounds like I'm just trying to make you feel better but I think I may like you."

"What? You're just saying that to make me feel better. I love the sympathy but I won't embarrass myself any longer. Excuse me."

She got her purse and headed off to the restroom.

Gideon had to think of something to make Mabel believe her. Ding.

When Mabel came out, she saw that everyone else had left. Hm. That's weird.

Gideon was gone too.

I should have known. Mabel started to walk out the door when there was a rose with a note taped to a table in front of her.

It said: Turn around.

She turned around to see Gideon in his seat wearing a tuxedo, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"For you." He handed her the flowers.

Then the boy took her hand and sat her down. The food came and Gideon started to have a conversation with Mabel.

Maybe this isn't a waste after all. Maybe he does like me. They finished their food and Gideon paid for the bill. He took her outside and held her by the hand.

"Mabel. I like you. It's true. I swear. But if you don't believe me it's fi-"

She cut him off by quickly kissing him. She then instantly pulled back. "I believe you." Mabel was one to get things done. {x)}

Gideon and Mabel walked back to the Shack hand in hand. And together, without knowing, the two thought, 'Score!'


Author's Note: OK so I'll leave you with this. My laptop got so hot that the charger (which was plugged in) started smoking and now has a little melted part. So this might count for tomorrows. The world may never know. xD
