The Door to the Attic Opens
"Morning Kids!" a excited Stan yells to the twins
"Grunkle Stan! five more minutes" Mabel says with a grunt
"Nope sorry can't do that the Mystery Shack is about to open and I need one of you guys to man the Cash Register Wendy hasn't showed up for work yet"
Grunkle Stan says rolling his eyes
"Wait what?" Dipper says the mere mention of Wendy's name seems to wake him up from his sleep
"I don't know what's wrong with her she's been late to work for the last 2 weeks now" Grunkle Stan replies putting his hand on his chin
"Grunkle Stan you're not thinking of firing her are you?!" Dipper says freaking out a little inside
"No i'm not thinking of firing her but I don't know why I don't she never does anything!" Grunkle Stan says rolling his eyes
"Maybe because if you fire her she has to move upstate to her Cousin's logging camp? Dipepr replies with a mean look
"So? Why should I care not my problem" Stan says walking out of the room
"GRRAARGH" Dipper reacts to his Uncle's comment
"Oh come on Dipper you know Grunkle Stan doesn't mean that he just likes to act like a heartless jerk that's all now come on let's get to the Cash Register"
Mabel replies comforting her brother
So the twins run down to the shack manning the Cash Register For the next couple of hours until Wendy arrives
Wendy walks in the door with her Signature Lumberjack Hat amiss
"Wendy! Dipper says to his friend Where have you been?" You were supposed to be here 3 Hours ago
"I was? Oh right yeah I forgot sorry about that" She says as she looks out the window
"You Just forgot? Wendy you can't keep doing this or Stan might fire you!" Dipper replies in worry of his teenage friend
"Pffftt it's not big deal man if I get fired i'll find another job or i'll mooch off my parents for life either one sounds fine in retrospect" Wendy explains to her friend
"No not fine If you get fired you Dad sends you Upstate remember?" Dipper asks her
Wendy get's a stunned look on her face before replying "Oh right... yeah I forgot about that... wouldn't want that .. for a number of reasons.. Sorry man i'll try to be more careful"
The Twins leave the register with Wendy staying behind They run back up to the attic
"Mabel something's up with Wendy" Dipper tells his Sister
"I know did you see that? She's not even wearing her Lumberjack hat" Mabel states to her brother
"What? No! I'm not talking about what she's wearing Mabel i'm talking about her act She's been late to work for the last 2 weeks With no explanation and she didn't even seem to remember that her Dad would send her up North if she got fired!
She's not acting like herself.. and we need to get to the bottom of it" Dipper says putting on arm on his sister's shoulder
"You can count on me Bro" Mabel grabs out her Grappling Hook "Mabel away!" She says as she grapples into the next room
