Author's Note: So I'm not going to post one on the Fourth of July because it's Independence Day so I'll try to post at least two today or on Friday.

Dipper and Soos were off exploring the woods. Grunkle Stan was inside during the busiest tour day of the summer and Wendy was working her shift in the gift shop. So that left Mabel and Waddles by themselves to do whatever they wanted.

They had already danced, ate ice cream and Mabel was done knitting Waddles some extra sweaters. She decided that she needed to knit some sweaters for Dipper. So she went outside and sat on the steps with Waddles curled up sleeping next to her. It was awfully quiet. At least it was.

Robbie's van pulled up in front of the Shack.

"Wendy! Come on out girl!"

Mabel put down her sweater and went inside. A minute or so later, she came back inside and told Robbie, "She's kinda busy with customers. Come back in ten minutes." Then she sat down and continued with the sweater.

The boy had some time to spare. He went and sat down next to Mabel.

"Whatcha doin' kid?"

"Knitting a sweater for Dipper."

"Oh. Fun."

Mabel heard the sarcasm in his voice. "How's your band?"

"Awesome! We were just doing some gigs and-"

He was cut off by Mabel's sarcasm. "Cool."

Mabel continued knitting and Robbie pulled out his phone and began to play games. Minutes later, Robbie got bored. He had to talk to someone. And the only person there was Mabel.

"So, uh, kid."

"My name is Mabel."

"So Mabel."

"Yeah?"

"What kind of things you do around here?"

"Nothing much. Just knitting and working. What do you do at your gigs?"

"Perform. Interact with some fans. Sign some stuff. No big deal."

"Oh. So. How are you and Wendy doing?"

"Good. Good. What about you and Gideon?"

"Blech. Don't even at me started. We aren't even dating."

"Oh."

"So tell me more about your band and what you do." Mabel had nothing else better to do. She thought maybe listening to Robbie go on and on about his band might pass time.

As she predicted, Robbie went on and on about his band and how they were going to tour but was dropped out. Mabel actually started getting interested.

"Cool! Do you want some sweaters for your band?"

"Uh, sure. Make them black. With skulls."

"Do you mind if they're bedazzled?"

"Nah. I guess not."

"I need to know more about your band to make personalized sweaters. Tell me more."

Robbie smiled. He loves talking about his band to someone who actually cared. Whenever he would talk about it to Wendy, she wouldn't listen. She would just change the subject or drift off into sleep. The teen boy started to feel nice around the twelve-year-old.

He started to go on an on about his band and the integrating gigs and not so interesting gigs and even the behind the scenes stuff.

Mabel mentally took notes and started to sketch out some designs on her head.

"And that's all really."

"Alright! I'll have the sweaters by next week!"

"Awesome! Can't wait! So tell me about yourself kid. I mean, Mabel."

Mabel smiled. The topic changed to her. She started to go on and on about herself and Waddles and Dipper.

When she finished, she looked up at Robbie and smiled.

"Nobody has honestly stayed through that entire story. Thanks."

"No problem ki- Mabel. Thanks for listening to entire band story thing. Wendy usually changes topic or something."

"Anytime. So can I watch you play sometime?"

"Sure! How about now? Wendy won't be coming out anytime soon anyways."

Robbie went inside his van and Mabel followed. She was going to sit at the back when Robbie insisted she sit shotgun.

So Mabel went in the passenger side and rode off to where Robbie was going to have his next gig.

He pulled up at a small restaurant near the arcade and went outside.

"Our next gig is here. My band should be inside already."

Mabel went outside and went into the small restaurant. Near the corner was a little stage which was set up with instruments and a banner with the band's name and pictures of each

band member.

Mabel took a seat near the stage and ordered some food. Robbie headed to the backstage area and met up with his band.

"Hey dude! I didn't know you were babysitting!" His band mate was referring to Mabel.

"No I'm not. She's a pretty cool girl."

"Alright. Alright. Let's just go and start performing."

The band went out on the stage and began to play. It wasn't the music Mabel would usually listen to, but it was fine. She even started to like the sound of it.

Many songs later, the band was cleaning up and the only one sitting at the tables was Mabel. She was humming the tune of one of the songs.

"Hey, uh. Mabel?"

"Yeah?"

"You wanna go back home?"

"Sure."

Robbie went outside to the van and Mabel went and sat down at the passenger side. The teen boy tried to turn the car on, but it wouldn't start.

"I think we might have to walk back."

"B-but its d-dark outside."

"You afraid of the dark?"

"M-maybe."

"Well you have to go home some way."

Robbie started to walk down the street and went through the forest. "You coming along?"

Mabel ran towards Robbie. "I-it's p-pretty d-dark outside."

The black-haired boy just continued on. They were near the middle of the forest until they heard a loud crushing sound. Mabel jumped and clung on to Robbie.

"Uh, kid? You OK?"

"N-no."

"Um, want a piggy back ride?"

"Y-y-yes please."

Robbie picked up Mabel and she laid her head on his shoulder. She felt safe around him.

They were just about to arrive at the shack when there was another sound. Mabel held on tighter.

"It's alright Mabel. I got you right here."

The girl smiled and slowly fell asleep on Robbie's shoulder.

He finally arrived at the Mystery Shack and dropped off Mabel on the bench.

Robbie looked at the sleeping twelve-year-old and felt warmth inside.

So before he left, the teen kissed the girl on the forehead and left.
