It was another gorgeous day. Mally was still upset. She hasn't even found a book she liked. She went to go outside to find one.
It had been several hours and still found nothing good to read. Suddenly, she remembered she had got a book from her parents that she didn't ever read, but was going to. She went back home to search for it.
She found that it was under her bed. She was filled with joy and started reading it as soon as she got outside. She was reading it until she bumped into someone. She dropped her book.
The person she bumped into apologized and picked up her book at gave it to her. "So, umm...I'm Mally." Mally said, bringing up a conversation. The person smiled. "I'm Lil' Gideon." Gideon said. Mally grinned. "Pleased to meet you." she said. They both began to have a friendly discussion.
"Uhhh..." Mally started. "...do you read books?" Mally said. Gideon shrugged. "Sometimes." he said. Silence grew. Gideon saw how much Mally looked like Mabel. It was unnatural. "You sure do look like somebody I know. Sort of." he said calmly. Mally was puzzled by the compliment...or was it an insult? She couldn't tell.
"Who do I look like?" Mally asked, patiently.
Gideon made a straight face. "Her name was Mabel Pines."
"You mean the girl that is at the Mystery Shack?" she asked. Gideon nodded. Mally didn't feel like wanting to know their history.
Mally thought this little guy was pretty cool. Even though she has never really had any true friends because she didn't need them. "Do you have any friends, Gideon?" she asked, quietly.
Gideon looked at her directly. "No, I really don't actually have any friends."
Having that said, made Mally realize that she isn't the only one with no friends. She tapped her lip, trying to think of something else to say.
"You can be my friend if you'd like." she said, with a small smile. Gideon blinked speechlessly. "Really?" he asked, anxiously. Mally smiled brightly. "Sure, I mean, since we both don't have friends, we can be each other's friends." she replied.
"Okay." he said. Mally tried to think of something else to say, but then she thought of what happened yesterday. She groaned. "I hate Mabel." she said, sound annoyed.
Gideon raised his eyebrow. "Why?" he asked. Mally sighed. "She just irritates me, that's all..." she said, not wanting to go into the whole story as to why she despises Mabel. Gideon sighed and told Mally why he hates the Pines family. After the story ended Mally wasn't the least bit surprised. "It totally makes sense why you almost killed her brother, even though I never felt like that towards anyone, so I wouldn't know how you felt at that time." she said, being honest.
"Though, I've never heard of you. Eh, probably because I don't watch television much. I only read books." she added. All Gideon could say is...'oh'.
"Yaggaflagger!" Mally shouted. Gideon became abrupt. "What?!" he said, frighteningly.
Mally giggled. "It's a word I made up. I apologize for scaring the snot out of you." she said, laughing a little.
Gideon laughed it off.
Mally hopes that Gideon and her will stay friends. If not, then she'll probably go back to reading books
