Chapter 16: Boss Mabel
Stan and the Kids were watching Cash Wheel, the popular game show when one of the guys hit "Money Shower".
That was when Soos entered the room.
"There's a busload of tourists at 9 o'clock!" said Soos.
They went to see the bus in the gift shop (and he managed to get dressed in the intervening time)
"Holy Tamales it's a Jackpot. "said Stan.
He began to order his crew around.
"Soos! Make brand new attractions"! said Stan.
"You got it boss." Said Soos beginning to make horrific monstrosities using taxidermy parts.
"Laxus, switch from your fake tazer to your fake cattle prod, I expect some of them to get angry…" said Stan.
Laxus sighed taking out a fake cattle prod.
"Wendy! Mark up those prices those prices!" said Stan optioning to some snow globes.
She added a 0 to the price making them 20 dollars.
"more! Bleed 'em dry!" said Stan.
She added another 0.
"Erza! Stop silently judging me!" yelled Stan.
Erza was indeed glaring at him.
"Stan, sometimes I think you just see people as wallets with arms and legs." Said Dipper.
"That's ridiculous." Said Stan.
He looked outside and saw well.. the people as wallets with arms and legs, even seeing one boy who was carsick vomit up pennies.
"Clean up the front lawn." Said Stan.
And so Stan gave the tour, showing off his newest attraction.
"Behold the amazing talking blue flying cat!" said Stan.
"Hi! The name's happy!" said Happy.
Indeed he managed to convince Happy to join as an attraction.
He promised him some fish and Happy was sold.
"If you throw money at him he dances!" said Stan.
"Hey! Wait!" yelled Happy.
They threw money at Happy. The coins really hurt as well.
"THIS WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL STAN!" yelled Happy.
Stan ignore Happy was he was hit by the coins and collected the money.
In the gift shop Mabel was working the cash register.
And so also advertising the bumper stickers.
"Behold the Mystery Shack Bumper stickers!" said Mabel, "You can stick on your bumpers or your husband's mouth! AM I right ladies?"
One of the women shopping laughed.
"Oh you're so bad." She giggled, "How much?"
"It's on the house, that's a Mabel difference!" said Mabel with a wink.
The woman took it and Mable called out "Thanks for vesting!"
Stan of course saw this.
"What the heck are doing"! yelled Stan.
"Business!" said Mabel she rang the cash register bell, "Cha-ching!"
"Listen kid, you don't make money by giving stuff away!" said Stan, "You're off register duty!"
"But why?" asked
"No buts… except yours out that door… so shut up and get to work." Said Stan.
"Whatever happened to please and thank you?" asked Mabel, "Oh wait here they are!"
She attached stickers to his face that said those words.
"Please never made me any money kid…" said Stan, he slapped the please sticker on the cash register, "In fact saying it gives me a burning sensation!"
Well actually he could say it in sarcasm, but that didn't count…
HE slapped the other sticker on Soos.
That was when Happy flew by with Dipper following him.
"Please don't leave Happy! I'm sure Stan will change his mind…" said Dipper .
There was a reason why Dipper was trying to get him to stay, it was because Happy replaced the "Pre-Teen wolf boy." An attraction that dipper… uh played…
"No way!" yelled Happy, "I quit! All those coins hurt and that fish wasn't any good!"
"Fine then quit." Said Stan with a shrug.
"Good! Now if you excuse I have to go to Fairy Tail and see if Wendy will heal all these coin wound!" yelled Happy.
Erza saw this.
"It must have been really bad to get Happy angry." Said Erza.
"No skin off my back." Said Stan, "Oh well no more flying cats."
"Why not?" asked Dipper.
"I asked Carla and she no… she claims she has "Too much dignity" and I'm afraid to ask Panther Lily…" said Stan.
The fact he can beat you up?" asked Erza.
"Of course!" said Stan.
"He does make a good sparing partner." Said Erza.
Stan stared at Erza shocked.
"He was the one that asked me, my alternate universe double was a his friends before she mysteriously disappeared one day." Explained Erza/
Stan continued to stare at Erza then turned to Dipper.
"All right I'm brining Pre-Teen wolf boy." Said Stan.
"Stanley…" said Erza.
The kids by this point got to used to their mother's strange slip up when it came to Stan's name.
Stan ignored the glare took out the wolf boy costume.
"Or… or… I have an I an idea, why don't you hunt one of the strange things in the forest." Said Dipper, "There's so much of that I'm sure that one of them would make a great attraction. It would be better than lying for a living."
"I did have two real attractions, one of just quit and the other set the Mystery Shack on fire." Said Stan.
"Okay… real attractions that have nothing to do with the Guild." Corrected Dipper.
"And you should be nicer to your employees." Said Mabel.
"Yeah!" said Dipper.
The two high fived.
"Look if you want to complain! Take it to the complaint department!" said Stan pulling out a trash can, "Zing!"
"I'm going such a letter,,," muttered Mable not getting the joke.
Sometime later Stan got the Mystery Shack employees to repaint the sign… including the twins.
"All right you can't stop until you've cover that sign in glitter!" said Stan, "Sparkly signs attract tourist… also large birds."
That was when a bald eagle began to attack Soos.
"Help me Laxus!" he yelled.
Laxus sighed and went to help Soos.
"Is it jut me or is this job seriously the worse?" asked Dipper lightening crackled nearby.
"I know right, why do we put up with it?" asked Wendy.
"This is the most demining job I've ever had." Said Laxus, "And I've had some pretty bad jobs as a kid…"
Mabel was going to ask why didn't he apologize then she remembered he did and that it was going to be a long time until Makarov (who was his grandfather) would accept it.
"I once had a suggestions to improve the shack," said Soos, he took out a picture form his pocket, "I'd be the Mystery Shack's Mascot, Questiony the Question Mark. I'd ask guest questions, do the question mark dance."
"That sound amazing!" said Mabel.
"That's cool!" said Wendy.
"Yeah!" agreed Dipper,.
Laxus just shrugged, not really caring.
"Yeah well, Stan said I couldn't handle it." Said Soos.
"He said what!" yelled Mabel.
"Get back to work!" yelled Stan, "Finish that sign before Erza gets back from her cake run!"
Stan froze, he felt something behind him.
The others stared at this sight.
"She's right behind me isn't she?" asked Stan.
"Stanley…" she said for a second time that that.
This time Stan knew it was just better to run away.
Sometime later, after he returned and gave a tour Mabel decided to confront him.
Erza however decided to talk to Stan, since he has been bad lately.
However that's when she heard the conversion.
"Ha! I'd make money on vacation"! mocked Stan.
"Then why don't you go on vacation?" asked Mabel.
Stan got an idea, he took out some sort of timer.
"Interesting I'm a wagering man! 3 days! 72 Hours!" said Stan, "If make that means you were right about the way I run business. But if you lost…"
He hastily dew up a t-shirt that said "Loser"
"You have to wear this loser shirt until you move out." Said Stan.
"Fine! But if I win I get to be boss until I move out and you have to sing an apology song written by me! Mabel!" said Mabel.
"You got there a deal Missy!" said Stan.
That was when Erza entered the room.
"Oh mom… "said Mabel.
"You didn't hear anything… did you?" asked Stan.
"I did." Said Erza, "And I think it's a good idea."
"What?" asked Stan.
"You've always been a bad boss but lately it seems like it's been getting worse." Said Erza.
Stan grumbled.
"Fine! But I'm setting up conditions! You can't guide Mabel at all! No helping her unless it's a task and no one else can help her with." Said Stan.
"All right agreed!" said Mable.
Erza sighed.
"Fine…" she said.
And so Stan headed towards his vacation.
"See you ion 72 hours!" said Stan, "We'll see how makes more money."
He tossed his fez on Mabel's head, then drove away laughing.
Dipper saw his mother and sister saying good-bye to Stan.
"Did you make a bet with a professional conman?" asked Dipper.
"It will be fine! All I have to do is be a better boss than Stan, it will be a cinch!" Said Mabel, she held up a jar, "Profit here we come!"
She dropped the jar, but Dipper magic to catch the jar with his magic.
"Thanks Bro-bro." said Mabel.
"I'm not worried." Said Erza, "After all vacation take money, I doubt he will make more money."
However it tunes out Stan's vacation was going to play Cash Wheel so Mabel was in a losing battle.
And so Mable called for a staff meeting.
"You wanted to see us Mr. Pines?" asked Soos.
Mabel turned the chair around wearing a very 80's business suit and glasses.
"Stan is no longer with us." Said Mabel.
"He's dead! NO! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!" yelled Soos.
"Soos! Calm down! Stan's not dead, he's just on vacation for three days." Said Mabel.
"Oh… thank you for the clarification." Said Soos.
"Mabel's in charge now." Said Mabel.
Laxus' eye twitched.
"This can only end badly." He muttered.
"Oh come on Laxus I know what I'm doing." Said Mabel.
"Are those shoulder pads?" asked Dipper point to her suit's shoulder pads.
"That's right." Said Mabel she pulled out a managerial self-help book from 1983, "I got all the stuff I need to mange the shack from this… it was prompting up the table.
Erza giggled at the sight knowing why there was a book from that time period propping up the table.
They noticed she was drinking a mug that said "Number 2 Boss"
"Why does that mug say Number 2?" asked Dipper.
"Because the real Number 1 boss is… said Mabel, she held up a mirror, "You guys…"
All but Laxus liked it.
"Moral"! said Soos.
"This is really weird." Muttered Laxus.
"Walk with me!" said Mabel they all began to follow Mabel.
She led them to a chalkboard.
"All right! It's my job to make sure you can be your best S.E.L.V.E.S." said Mabel, "Satisfied, Everyday, Loving Live, Very Much, Everyday, Satisfied."
She then led them to the gift shop.
"All right!" said Mabel to Wendy, "How do I make your work place more Wendy-Friendly?"
Wendy began to think.
"Well he never lets me hang out with my friends at work." Said Wendy.
"Stan ain't here sister! Open the door." Said Mabel.
"Sweet"! cheered Wendy.
And Soos." Said Mable taking something out, it was a suit that resembled a question mark, "I believe this is yours."
"Questiony the Question Mark?" asked Soos, "I wish this was an explanation point so that they can see how existed I am."
"As for you Dipper." Said Mabel taking out Dipper's dreaded wolf costume she then shoved in a paper shrewder, "Die wolf costume! DIE!"
Dipper smiled.
"I want you to go into the forest and don't' come back until you got something amazing to show for the Mystery Shack."
"All right! I'm going opt show Stan how a real mystery hunter is!" said Dipper, "Mom…"
"Yes…" said Erza.
"Can I have my sword back?" asked Dipper.
"This one time, when you come back give it back to me." Said Erza requipping Dipper's sword and giving it to him.
Dipper jumped out the window with it to fight and find something for the Shack.
"Now what can I do for you Laxus?" asked Mabel.
"I need to take a coffee break." Muttered Laxus.
Mabel gave him money.
"Here bring back a latte for me." Said Mabel.
Laxus turned to Erza.
"It's okay." Said Erza, "She drinks them sometimes, plus it's not as strong as Mabel juice."
"What?" said Laxus.
He realized right then and there this was going to be a long day,…
"I think I'm going to join him since I'm not allowed to help you." Said Erza.
"Go ahead mom." Said Mabel.
Both of them left the gift shop.
"She's your daughter? Really?" asked Laxus.
"You've been working here for a while." Said Erza.
"But I don't normally interact with her." Said Laxus.
"All right guys!" yelled Mabel, "By the end of 48 hours let's filled this jar with 600 Billion dollars!"
"Do you know how money works?" asked Wendy.
"Of course I do!" said Mabel.
And so Mabel began to be the boss, by yelling "Times cards!" at random things and people and other things…
Of course she also earned some money, which was, when people left the shack they put money into the jar.
That was when Dipper got back with a moving sack.
"I got something that would; blow everyone away!" said Dipper.
That was when he the thing grab him and he us the hilt of the sword to beat the monster.
"Marvelous work valued employee." Said Mabel, she turned around and gasped, "IS that Questiony the Question mark?"
Soos was hiding behind a port-a-potty.
He revealed himself, in more ways than one.
Turns out the question mark suit was just a form question mark… which was the only thing he wore along with his underwear.
Why he didn't wear a unitard with it… well it's Soos… he didn't come up the idea.
"Mabel… I keep forgetting my lines and the suit is more revealing than I thought." Said Soos.
"Soos! Don't give up!" said Mabel as she check out something form the book, "Everything works when you Imgainize it!"
"But I don't know what that means…" said Soos.
She shushed him.
"Believe in yourself." Said Mabel.
She headed to the Mystery Shack's gift shop.
"How's my favorite red head named Wendy?" asked Mabel.
However Wendy and her friends were making a mess out of the gift shop by kicking around a Shrunken Head.
It hit a little boy in the face causing his mother to tell out that it was ruined.
"Here! Have a refund!" said Mabel.
However the mother took more money than Mabel was offering.
"Wendy… can you clean up…" said Mable she pointed to the please sticker, "Please!"
Wendy decided to take advantage of Mabel's kindness.
"You know all this rule making is making you sound like Stan." Said Wendy.
"What?" asked Mabel, "I'm nothing like Stan! In face you can have the rest of the day off!"
"With full pay?" asked Wendy.
"Oh… course…" said Mabel.
Wendy gave the thumbs up and left.
"Mabel you're a very good boss." Mabel assured herself.
She was compete unwire that outside Soos got maced by a woman.
Meanwhile at the Guild Hall everyone was just talking while the TV was ne just for background noise.
Mirajane noticed from the comer of her eye.
"Is that Stan?" asked Mirajane.
They noticed that indeed he was on Cash Wheel.
"I heard he went on vacation." Said Levy, "I just didn't know he went there for his vacation."
"Funny, I thought these things took months to air.{" said Lucy.
They watched as Stan just jumped into the game even though it hadn't even started and it wasn't his turn.
He was able to solve the Puzzles easily and the Guild cheered unaware about the bet he made with Mabel.
He spun the wheel and hit cash shower.
"Al right cash shower!" cheered Stan on TV.
They watched it started raining money on him.
However they started screaming as he started getting undressed.
"Look away Wendy! Look away!" yelled Carla covering Marvelous' eyes.
"Where's the remote! Where's the remote!" yelled Natsu.
"I don't know!" cried Mirajane.
As everyone reacted in horror and the remote nowhere to be found, Gajeel turned his arm into a metal club and destroyed the TV.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You did a great service Gajeel." Sighed Makarov.
There was an awkward silence.
"You still have to replace the TV." Said Makarov.
"Great…" muttered Gajeel.
"I'll go find you a job." Sighed Panther Lily.
"Thank you." Sighed Gajeel.
Meanwhile Dipper was showing off what he caught to a couple.
"I'm Honest Dipper and unlike my cheating uncle I have something to show that isn't a hoax! Behold the Gremloblin!" said Dipper, "Half Gremlin, half goblin… it nearly killed getting it into his cage."
He showed off a hideous creature in a cage, it even spat out a skull.
The couple didn't believe it was real and got distracted by the "6 pack-alope."
"No this is one real!" said Dipper, "Fun fact if he you look into his eyes you can see your worst nightmare."
The couple did so…
Unfortunately they were taken away in an ambulance because of what they saw.
Mabel meanwhile was swamped having had to fill in for Wendy… even giving refunds.
"Well… I just made two people go insane." Said dipper, "How about you?"
"I gave Wendy the day off… so now I have to cover for her…" said Mabel.
"Maybe you have to be a little tougher." Said Dipper .
"No that's what Stan would do…" said Mabel, "I just have to do use kindness and that's how I'll earn money!"
That was when the Gremloblin brake through the wall.
This made any and all tourists flee in terror.
"How did it break out of its cage?" asked Dipper .
"Well…" said Mabel.
Turns out she gave him the key so he could take a break.
"You gave him a 5 minute break?" asked dipper.
"He is an employee sort of…" said Mabel.
"We have to round him up? Where mom and Laxus?" asked Dipper.
"They haven't come back from their coffee break." Said Mabel.
Meanwhile at the coffee shop the two were in conversation.
"If you told me a year ago that I would be living on some couch in another universe while working as a security guard in a tourist trap I would have laughed in your face." Said Laxus.
"I'm sure it's not all that bad." Said Erza.
"Actually to honest it's not that bad living with Soos, his grandmother actually very sweet and you know how Soos is." said Laxus.
Erza nodded and sipped her coffee.
That was when she got a text.
"What is it?" asked Laxus.
"The thing Dipper managed to capture escaped and he need our help." said Erza.
"I should get Mabel her coffee." Sighed Laxus.
Back at the Mystery Shack.
"Just texted mom…" said Dipper, "And where's Soos?"
"He was stressed out so I let him take a relaxing nature walk." Explained Mabel.
Soos meanwhile was lost in the deep scary woods.
Back in the shack both of them noticed that Cash Wheel was playing on the TV and Stan was poised to be the champion.
"Do you have anything to say?" asked the host.
"Yeah… see you tomorrow night Mabel." Said Stan.
Both of them saw this however they had to dodge something from the Gremloblin.
The Gremloblin continued to make a mess.
Both of them ran towards the living room to hide.
Thankfully the Gremloblin was distracted by one of those talking fish things.
"What's taking mom so long!" yelled Mabel.
That was when the door opened and Laxus and Erza came into the room.
"Finally!" yelled Dipper.
"What took you so long!" yelled Mabel.
"Sorry we ran into Lily and Gajeel on the way here!" said Erza.
(Flashback)
Erza and Laxus ran into Gajeel and Panther Lily. Gajeel was holding a new TV.
"Decided to buy a TV?" asked Erza.
"Sadly no…" said Panther Lily.
"I had to break the Guild's TV because of your…" said Gajeel who didn't know the exact relationship between Stan and Erza.
"Ex-Uncle in law." Said Panther Lily.
"What did Stan do?" asked Erza.
"He undressed himself on live television." Said Panther Lily.
"What?" asked Laxus.
Erza face palmed.
(End of Flashback)
"All right! So what is that thing?" asked Laxus.
"It's called a Gremloblin!" said Dipper.
"Should be easy to take care of!" said Laxus.
Laxus shot a lighting bolt at the Gremloblin.
It didn't affect Foe Gremloblin…
"It says here that it's immune to lighting!" said Dipper.
"Seriously!" yelled Laxus.
The Gremloblin roar and Laxus disappeared in a flash of lightening and reappeared next to Dipper.
"You can do that?" asked Dipper.
He shrugged.
"What's this say?" asked Laxus noticing the thing about the last resort.
"Wait… it says don't use because it makes it much scarier." Said Dipper.
Erza requiped a spear.
However the Gremloblin shrugged and ignored her.
"Hey!" yelled Erza.
He began to sniff the money jar and eat the money.
"Oh no! the profits!" yelled Mabel.
She ran towards the Gremloblin, however the Gremloblin.
The Gremloblin picked her up and looked into her eyes.
"Oh no! No! No!" yelled Dipper.
Erza was confused by was about going on, however Dipper found and grabbed a mirror and showed the Gremloblin his reflection.
The Gremloblin got a image of him turning into his father, he screamed, let go of Mabel and flew away knocking down the totem pole.
"You okay?" asked Dipper.
"I'm fine…" said Mabel, "It didn't effect me that much…"
"What does that thing do?" asked Erza.
"You look into his eyes you see your worst nightmare..." said Dipper.
"No one got hurt did they?" asked Erza.
"No… of course not…" said Dipper.
"Natsu Pines…" said Erza.
"I sent two people to the Hospital." Said Dipper.
They looked at the state of the gift shop.
"Let's leave it for tomorrow and get dinner somewhere." Said Mabel.
"Sure…" said Dipper.
"Fine by the me…" said Laxus.
"Yeah…" sighed Erza.
The next day they waited for Soos and Wendy in the gift shop=.
"Okay! OKAY! Ignoring it until today was a really bad idea!" yelled Mabel, "Have to fix it! And we only have 7 hours to make money!"
"Calm down Mable it will be fine." Said Erza.
"I don't know if Soos is coming today." Said Laxus, "He didn't make it home last night…"
"This is bad!" cried Mabel.
That was when Soos and Wendy arrived.
"Whoa what happened?" asked Wendy.
"Did you change anything?" asked Soos.
"Soos! Wendy! WE have a lot to do now!" said Mabel, "So please get to work…"
Sorry but I have a headache… I can't work today…" said Wendy.
"I met this really nice wolf pack in the woods, and well this mother wolf wants to raise me as one of her own so I should really get back to the den." Said Soos.
Both of them began to leave.
"Hey is anyone going to eat these?" asked Soos pointed to a half melted popsicles on the floor.
Mabel broke a cute little troll pen she had and gave the harshest glare possible.
"I have had it!" yelled Mabel, "I fought a monster last night! And you know what, I did most of the work by myself! And this is how you repay me!"
Both Wendy and Soos began to get scared.
"You're acting different…" said Wendy.
"Will you get to work now! Or do I have opt make you?" asked Mabel giving a harsher glare.
"You're acting like Stan…" said Wendy.
"She's not." Said Laxus.
"What?" asked Wendy.
"She's acting like…" said Laxus.
Laxus nodded his head at Erza.
Erza trying to hide her amusement at this.
"Oh man…" said Soos.
If Mabel was acting like Stan, that would be scary….
But Mabel acting like Erza… that was just terrifying.
"Are you going to get opt work or not!" yelled Mabel.
The three acacia paid employee all nodded.
Mabel calmed down and realized what she was doing.
She looked at herself in them mirror.
"What am I doing?" asked Mabel.
Erza bent down and assured her daughter.
"Don't' worry… someone needs to hit the idiots for doing do stupid things." Said Erza.
Mabel sighed.
"All right! Let's make some money!" yelled Mabel.
And so they all got to work… with Mabel glaring at them and saying certain things if they didn't work.
As Mabel was making sure that the Totem Poll was fixed a Tour Bus arrived.
"Dipper! Tour bus." Called out Mabel.
"What do I do?" asked Dipper, "I can't show them anything real… it freaks them out."
Mabel gave him a glare, "Come up with something."
That was when Dipper got an idea.
And so Dipper donned a tuxedo and eye patch and showed them the Giant Question Mark baby.
Which was Soos in his Questiony costume asking question.
He would deicide to fleece the tourist with the pictures as well by charging 100 dollars.
However the tourists didn't care.
And thanks to this they filled the jar.
However…
"Minus the money to get the supplies to fix the shack and replace the furniture…" said Dipper.
He punched the numbers and there was a profit, but it wasn't much.
"One dollar." Said Mabel.
The clock buzzed band Stan walked in.
"Tic tock." Said Stan.
"Oh no…" said Mabel.
Erza smirked.
"Stan… did you really undress yourself on live television?" asked Erza.
"Uh…" said Stan.
"You should go to the Guild later to apologize…" said Erza.
Stan grumbled.
"How much did you beat us?" asked Mabel.
"I won 300,000 dollars… but…" sighed Stan.
He couldn't solve the Final Puzzle.
It was a six letter word to ask for something polity…
He didn't guess correctly… twice in fact and he lost all of the money.
Of course the answer was…
"Please." Said Mabel with a smile.
"Well apparently it can make you money." Said Stan.
"So if you lost everything,.." said Dipper, "That means you won Mabel!"
"We did it!" cheered everyone but Erza.
"Wait what did we do?" asked Soos.
"According to our bet you're the new boss." Said Stan.
Everyone began to say no at the same time.
"What?" asked Stan.
"I didn't know how hard it was being boss! It was cuckoo bananas here until I started barking orders and acting like mom..," said Mabel.
"Wait you acted like…" said Stan.
"Like mother, like daughter. "said Erza with a smirk.
Stan began to sweat
"Don't worry I rarely do that." Said Mabel.
"Anyway… it's good to back to work…" said Stan putting on his fez, "Wendy! Soos! Laxus… get to work… please…"
He gaged and muttered "Still hurts…"
"Hey wait…," said Dipper, "Did your agreement also say something about a song and dance…"
"No…" said Stan.
"Hey, you're right." Said Mabel, "I have it in my note…"
"There was nothing…" said Stan.
"I'll get a camera." Said Wendy.
Stan laughed nervously he was about to run away.
"Stan…" said Erza.
"Yes…" said Stan.
"Don't'…" said Erza.
Stan sighed.
And so Stan was forced to sign the "Stan Wrong Song".
It took forever to get the right take, in fact in one take Gompers showed up and started eating the fez…
It was so damaged that Stan had to by a new fez with a new logo…
And so Stan learned to say "Please", Mabel learned that it was hard being a boss and the rest realized that while Mabel was happy go lucky most of the time she was her mother's daughter and you don't want to mess with her…
Next Time: Mabel is sick and tired of Stan's lying so she decides to find a way to make him tell the truth. Thanks to some false teeth, she able to get him to stop lying. However Stan quickly deuces that one of the twins is behind his inability to lie... What's going to happen? Find out next time!
A/N: This was the last episode with Stan's original emblem... however I noticed most people fail to notice to Gompers chewing up his fez at the end... seriously it explains in story why he has a different symbol...
And yeah the next chapter is just Truth Ache and not Bottom Less Pit... it was going to be a hard chapter to adapt, so I'm skipping most of it except for the part that really happened...
