Ford was at Soos' house, playing video games with him, but Ford wasn't really into video games and wasn't even interested in hanging out with Soos. He was under the get-along cupcake spell and started to get along with Soos ever since he laid eyes on him after eating the cupcake. Now he wanted to spend time and do EVERYTHING with him.
"Wow, Soos!" Ford exclaimed. "You are really good at this! You beat me 10 tens!"
"I know. That's cause I'm really good at it! I've been an expert at video games since I was little," Soos bragged. He then gasped. "Oh my god! Those evil donut dudes are coming for you, Ford! Watch out!"
"Oh don't worry, Soos! I got it this time!" He pressed a button on the remote and fired a laser at an evil donut guy in the game. "Haha! Bulls-eye! I finally destroyed one!" he shouted triumphantly when he finally obliterated a donut guy in the game.
Just then, Mabel entered Soos' living room where Ford and Soos were playing games, looking panicky. "GRUNKLE FORD! GRUNKLE FORD! COME WITH ME!" She shouted. "I NEED YOU FOR ABOUT 2 WHOLE HOURS!"
Mabel was the one who gave her Grunkle Ford the Get-Along cupcake. She originally had given it to him and his brother, Stan so they could get along and not fight anymore, but it had totally backfired and now Ford was with Soos and Stan was with Wendy. Now she was trying to distract Ford for 2 hours, while Dipper tried to distract Stan so the spell could be broken and things would get back to normal.
"For what, Mabel?" Ford asked, looking annoyed. "I'm right now trying to spend some quality time with my buddy, Soos!"
"Well, you can do that later! Right now, I need you to do something… uh… in the basement!"
"Can this wait till later? I'm in the middle of playing a game with my buddy!"
"No! I need you RIGHT NOW!" She pulled Ford off the couch.
"But wait! I not even done with the level! What about Soos?!" Ford whined.
"Don't worry! It will only take a second!" Mabel told him, as she ushered him quickly out the door.
Meanwhile, while Mabel was distracting Ford, Dipper found his Grunkle Stan talking to Wendy at the park.
"So… Wendy, can you tell me how you get your hair so nice like that?" Stan questioned with a smile, eyeing Wendy's hair. "I never realized how nice it looked!"
Wendy looked very uncomfortable and weirded out. She backed away a bit. "Uh, you know what, Stan? I think I hear my dad calling me. I'm going to go now!"
She tried to run, but Stan caught her. "Aw, come on, Wendy!" Stan pleaded. "I really want to bond with you!"
"Wait! Grunkle Stan!" Stan, upon hearing his name, turned and saw Dipper running towards him.
"Dipper!" Stan exclaimed. "What are you doing here? Can't you see I trying to spend some quality time with Wendy?"
"Yeah, well that has to wait, cause… um…. I heard from… uh..someone that 5 whole busloads of tourists are coming to the shack!" Dipper lied. "You gotta go get ready for them? You wanna make a lot of money, don't you?"
"Eh. I don't really care. I just wanna spend time with Wendy," Stan stated, gripping his arm tightly around Wendy, making her feel more uncomfortable.
"Well, you can't call if off now! They're coming! Come on! Let's get the shack ready!"
"But.. wait, I-"
Stan couldn't even finish his sentence, for Dipper grabbed his arm and pulled him away from Wendy and took him to the shack.
He looked back and saw Wendy giving him a smile, happy that he had put a stop to Stan bonding with her.
Dipper gave a quick thumbs up and pulled out his walkie-talkie to see how things were going with Mabel and how she was handling Ford. "Mabel, so far I got Stan away from Wendy. How are things going with you?"
"Pretty good. I forcing Ford to do some nerd thing in the basement, but he keeps bugging me to see Soos!" Mabel informed her brother.
"Mabel, can I go back with Soos?" Ford asked, pausing in his lab work. "I wanna be with him, not do...this stuff!"
"NO, GRUNKLE FORD!" Mabel shouted. "YOU'LL NEVER SEE SOOS UNTIL YOU GET ALL YOUR WORK DOWN ON THAT LIST I POSTED THERE FOR YOU! NOW GET TO WORK!"
She took a deep breath and calmed down and turned back to the walkie-talkie. "Oh, Dipper, you really think we can be able to distract them for two hours?"
"We have to try," Dipper informed her. "Or else Stan and Ford will never be themselves again!"
Mabel nodded. "Alright.. I- GRUNKLE FORD! GET BACK TO YOUR WORK!" She frowned, when she glanced up at Ford and saw him trying to sneak out.
"But I wanna see Soos!" Ford whined.
"AGAIN! YOU'LL SEE HIM WHEN YOU GET YOUR WORK DONE!"
Ford pouted and went back to his lab work.
"See, Dipper? He keeps bothering me to see Soos!"
"Just keep distracting him with tasks Mabel," Dipper informed her. "I'll do the same with Stan and two hours will be over before you know it!"
"Alright. Good luck with Stan!"
Dipper put away the walkie-talkie and when he turned around, he gasped. Stan was running back to Wendy! "GRUNKLE STAN!" He ran over and grabbed Stan's arm again. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Going over to hang out with Wendy! What else?" Stan informed him.
"Don't worry! You'll hang out with her after you get the shack ready for the tourists. It will be over before you know it! Now come on!" He dragged his grunkle toward the shack again.
The twins hoped they would be able to distract their grunkles for two hours, because so far, it was looking pretty hard with them constantly wanting to go hang out with Soos and Wendy and trying to sneak away to bond with them. But they just kept trying to find new ways to distract their grunkles. After all, it would be the only way that their grunkles would ever get back to normal.
