"A bug collector!" said Mabel, triumphantly jumping up.
"Uh, did I miss a conversation we were having that led up to that?" asked Dipper, turning around to face her.
"Not really, but I've just been thinking that I should try dating a guy who's a bug collector." said Mabel. "I think that's probably my best chance, the way I am now."
Mabel slowly changed from her usual form, to a small mountain of black bugs, to the image of a boy wearing a safari hat, carrying a butterfly net, and clutching a jar full of the same black bugs.
"Something like this, maybe?" asked the boy.
"Hmm, not sure if a lot of people wear safari hats anymore." said Dipper.
The boy fell apart back into a mass of insects, which soon formed into Mabel again.
"Eh, I guess so." she said.
Mabel then morphed into a few different images of potential bug collector boys. "Any of these, then?"
"Mabel, are you sure you want to date a bug collector?" asked Dipper.
"Why not?" said Mabel. "After all, who would love a big bunch of bugs like me more than someone who loves to collect them?"
"But wouldn't he want to document you, or experiment on you, to see why you can... well, do what you do?" asked Dipper.
"I don't know, maybe." said Mabel, thinking to herself. "I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, or something. Whatever saying fits here. Ooh, and me being able to shapeshift'll probably make dating pretty fun, if I can find a bug collector or somebody else who can look past the whole me being bugs thing. Maybe I'll save that reveal for the second date. I'm sure they'll like me, 'cause I can turn into whatever they want. And if we end up getting married, it'll be like they're marrying all five-hundred and fifty-eight, or however many bugs I am, of me at once! And-"
"And then you'll make him your bug king?" asked Dipper with a smirk.
"Heh, guess I am kinda starting to sound like those gnomes." said Mabel with an embarrassed laugh. "But, if you meet any bug collectors who are about my age and are interested in dating a swarm of bugs, let them know about me, okay?"
"Yeah, I'll try." said Dipper.
