Dipper and Mabel were shopping some gifts that they want to get for their friends and family in town. It was a bit difficult to decide on what they wanted to get, considering on what the town has to offer. It was mostly Mabel's idea. She wanted to do this sweet thing while Dipper didn't really have a choice. He thinks it's also nice, but he thinks it's hard... financially. With Dipper carrying the stuff they got, Mabel was close to him, holding a list of names. Dipper stopped to rest a bit and so did Mabel.
"Whew! Alright, Mabel. Who all is left on our To-Do-List?" Dipper asked his twin sister, trying to relax. Mabel chewed on the end of the pencil a little and answered back. "Just Grunkle Stan and Candy, I think." she said, narrowing her eyes on the list even more to be sure. Both of them were REALLY trying hard to think on what to get for the last two people on their list. Dipper was also keeping his eye on their things during the meantime.
"Ah, Grunkle Stan... What does one get for an old grump who isn't happy with anything?" he thought. Mabel, on the other hand, was full of ideas, but not sure what would be the perfect gift for Stan. Then, she thought of something extremely simple.
"Well, we could get him a gift certificate for the Pawn Shop here." she told him, which he thinks is okay, but maybe not. "I don't think he'd like that..." he said, scratching his chin and sat down. "Me neither, but he DOES love to complain! And we both know he'd complain about this for YEARS to come!" Mabel smiled with glee, 'fun-poking' her brother's face. He was just happy that they resolved another issue. He grabbed the list from Mabel's hand, grabbed the pencil from Mabel's OTHER hand and checked Grunkle Stan off the list saying, "Sold!" He chuckled a bit after he was done with the list. Mabel took the list back and stood up.
"Awesome! Now, what about What's-Her-Name?" she asked rhetorically, already knowing who she's talking about, but only did it to test Dipper. "Who?" he asked her as he picked up the gifts again. "You know... Candy!" she squealed, lifting one leg and arms up. She continued to tease Dipper by mentioning Candy around him, still thinking it's really cute. Dipper just remembered about her and came back with an easy answer.
"Oh, HER. Thankfully, she already told me what she wants. More specifically, from me." he said, angling the bag of gifts near his right shoulder. "And what's that?" she asked him with deep curiosity.
"She wants me to give her a pearl necklace! And that's easy! We'll just get her some plastic, fake ones and..." he said, but stopped because Mabel placed her hand over his chest. She knew what it was, so she whispered it to Dipper's ear. "Wha..." he mumbled. She continued to whisper in his ear. Dipper, then, just jolted back a bit. "OH, GROSS!" he yelled, covering his face. Mabel blushed a bit and patted Dipper on the back saying, "Yeah, I don't think you can give her a 'fake' unless the lights are off."
Author's Notes: Well, Candy really isn't... physically there, but she was involved. I hope that counts for something. Anyways, leave a review if you can. Thanks for your patience, for reading this chapter and there will be more chapters on the way.
