(Mabel's P.O.V.)
I was ready for today. I couldn't wait to go on my first date with someone so nice, so generous, so kind. Gideon took me to some fancy restaurant on the other side of town. The food there was okay, but Gideon had ordered the lobster, which was alive when they served it. "Oh Mabel, how gorgeous you are!"
I felt a little awkward. No, not a little. I felt really awkward. "Thanks Gideon, and you look, handsome? I guess." I felt so stupid then and there. Gideon pulled out an envelope for another fancy place to go to.
"Mabel, tonight's date was a complete success! And tomorrow's date promises to be the best out of them all." He cheered. My reaction wasn't exciting. I was actually confused.
Gideon had told me only one date on the drive here. He promised me. I started to become concerned more than confused.
"Gideon, you said only one date, and this was that one date." I stared right into his eyes to tell him I was serious. Then his smile grew larger. "Mabel, Mabel, they're already expecting us. Please tell me you'll come!" I thought about it hard. Did I have any plans? No. But did I want to go to this place after he said only one date? No, not really.
Once I got home, Dipper sat at the table reading through his journal. "So, how'd your date go?" I placed the lobster in our fish tank.
"I don't know, I have a lobster now." I said looking at it swim around. "Mabel are you alright? What happened?"
I sighed before saying anything. "Gideon wants me to go on another date with him. I'm too scared to tell him no Dipper. I don't even know the kid that well. We ordered food and we barley talked, then he went straight to conversation about going on another date! What do I do Dipper?"
Dipper sat up straight, as Autumn walked downstairs. "Mabel! How'd it go?" Amber asked sitting down next to me.
Terrible.
"It was okay, I just don't really like this guy." I replied hiding in her sweater. "Come on Mabel, I'm sure things will work out!" Autumn said walking up to her.
"I don't want to, okay?" I said peeking out of her sweater. Autumn walked into the kitchen with Dipper and probably thought of how they would fix this. "Okay, Mabel," Dipper started walking in, "I'm gonna go to Gideon's and tell him you don't want to date him anymore."
"You'd do that for me Dipper?" I asked standing up. Thank goodness.
"Yeah, I mean why not?" Autumn said. "I'm coming with."
"Then let's go tell him." Dipper said walking out the door.
(Autumn's P.O.V.)
Dipper and I walked all the way down to Gideon's. His house was pretty big. Once we answered, Gideon's dad answered the door. "Well hello there Pines family! Where's that sweet Mabel at? Wasn't she supposed to be here tonight?"
"Well, um, that's why we are here. Can we talk to him?" I asked tugging on Dipper's vest.
"Oh, why sure you can!" Gideon's dad took us to the back where Gideon sat at his desk. "Why Mabel, glad you-" He stared at Dipper and I for a moment. "Well, where's Mabel? We have a date tonight!"
"Gideon," Dipper started. "Mabel, doesn't want to date you. She told me to tell you. She just feels uncomfortable."
Gideon stood there and laughed. "You think you can fool me boy?! Mabel loves me and you know it! You just can't stand your sister on her own you weakling!"
"It's true Gideon. She doesn't like you and she doesn't want to date you anymore. You promised her only one date." I said crossing my arms.
Gideon seemed pretty upset, and then it turned to anger. "Don't play games with me boy!" He pulled out this greenish amulet and raised his hand. Before we knew it, Dipper and I were in mid air. "Hey let us go!" Dipper said in flying around. Then, Gideon moved his hand higher in the air and we stood still. We couldn't move at all.
"Why are you doing this Gideon?!" I asked trying to get to the ground. "Admit it! Mabel loves me! You too are just jealous!" He picked up two pairs of scissors and put them to our necks. "You can't kill us! Then Mabel would hate you forever!" Dipper said. "Lets just see about that boy." The scissors got closer and closer. This was it.
I thought that this would be the perfect summer, I guess not.
"Hey Gideon!" A familiar voice called for his name. Gideon turned around and was punched by Mabel. "Let go of them!" As he still held onto the amulet, his hand moved and Dipper and I were thrown into boxes.
I popped out from the pile. "You alright Dip?" I asked pulling him up. "Yeah I'm fine." Dipper jumped from the boxes and on to Gideon, punching him in the face. "Don't you ever try and hurt us ever again!" He said. Gideon then got up pushing himself and Dipper out of the window.
"Dipper!" I screamed looking back at Mabel. "What do we do?!" Mabel spotted the amulet on the floor and grabbed it. "We rescue them" She replied. Mabel picked me up and herself and we flew out the window. When I looked down I could see Gideon fighting Dipper as they fell. Mabel stood in midair, and picked them up, above the cliff.
"It's over Gideon. I will never, ever date you." Mabel said before smashing the amulet onto the ground. "I'm sorry. NOT!"
"No! My amulet!" Gideon tried putting the pieces back together. "You need to learn some respect kid!" I said walking away.
"Goodbye forever." Mabel said we all walked home.
When we got back, Stan was hanging up some type of painting on the wall that had a terrifying clown on it. He'd probably put it up for sale in the gift shop.
