Chapter 4: The Date Crasher


The Club, the perfect place for a first date, unless you were a child psychic of course. Mabel and Henry were enjoying one amazing dinner. Mabel was telling her story of kidnapping Several Timez. "The trick is to not make it look like your kidnapping them, and they won't try fighting back. Then again they did want to be taken from there" said Mabel. "Interesting" said Henry. The rest of the date was mostly the two talking to each other about, whatever people say during dates (I don't know what goes on during dates I'm not that social of a person) and Mabel showing off how many scoops of ice cream she could eat in a minute (and also brain freezes).

"Well that was one amazing dinner if I do say so myself" says Henry. "Oh yes definitely, the choice of extra chocolate syrup was indeed delightful" adds Mabel. The two start laughing. "So, you wanna head home now" asks Henry. "Sure, I just have to go wash my hands first, brb" says Mabel. As she was walking to the bathroom, Mabel noticed the sun setting from a window facing the parking lot adjacent to where they had parked. She looked out to see the sun set, but instead saw something she had indeed feared.

Dipper was outside hiding behind the golf cart, unpacking out of a bag he had brought, the last thing Mabel wanted to see. The drone their parents had got him for Christmas. Mabel watched as he got the drone flying and hovering over Henry's car. He was planning on using the it to spy on the two of them. Mabel did not know what to do. If she went outside now, either Dipper would crash her night or Henry would see the drone, and in turn Dipper and then maybe dump her. Worst case scenario of course but after 5 breakups, she was not going to have a 6th one tonight. She looked out the window, hoping for something to happen to ruin Dipper's spying mission. A gust of wind to knock the drone out of the sky, low battery, squirrels attacking (more something they did with her). Finally, she caught a lucky break.

A security guard approaches Dipper. Most likely about the drone. Mabel sees this as her chance. She dashes back to Henry. "Hey Mabel, is everything all right" he asks. "Oh, ya, don't worry" says Mabel. They walk to the entrance but Mabel stops Henry from leaving. "Mabel are you sure everything's okay" he asks. Mabel ignores him and looks out the front window towards the van. No drone hovering above it. Mabel opens the door and pulls Henry out with her. They quickly get into the van. "You sure your fine Mabel. Is there someone following you or something" Henry asks. "What following, no of course not. Could, could we maybe get going" she says. Henry starts the van up and the two drive off, heading back to the shack.

"Ya thanks officer and yes, I know the thing has vertical takeoff its not a space shuttle" shouts Dipper at the security guard. He angrily packs his stuff into the golf cart, getting ready to leave. Then he notices, the van is no longer parked there. "That's odd, they weren't supposed to leave for another 15 minutes". Dipper looks down at his watch. "Yikes I better get back to the shack before they do". Dipper gets into the golf cart and starts driving back to the shack. Hopefully before they did.
