Wow, I just read the reviews now and it seems you all really really liked the yandere!Pacifica one-shot. A lot of you requested a sequel so I will have to get on that once I get to that request (also you guys have some twisted ideas for the sequel one-shot, props to those who gave ideas). I didn't expect so many people to enjoy that, to be honest.

From PERSON (Guest): "Okay, I just binge-read these, and they are amazing! So here's a prompt I've been thinking about: Soos' memories from 10 years ago involving Dipper and Mabel (when they went back in Blendin's game). At some point he's going to put two and two together and realize that those kids who taught him the vending machine trick are none other that Dipper and Mabel themselves. It wouldn't be too far fetched considering that he already knows about the time travel. On the other hand you could also use Wendy realizing that she saw present dipper in the past and thought he was cute, and then her subsequent "How is this possible" reaction. Just a thought."

Oh, you make a good point. I'll do the Soos one and maybe slip in a few hints about the Wendy/Dipper thing, if that's okay. I'm glad you're enjoying these! (I can't believe people are binge-reading these, oh my gosh, your eyes must be hurting so bad). Anyway, this one-shot is set after The Love God.

Recollection

It was around lunchtime when it hit Soos. He was fixing the vending machine, which had been acting up and glitching for the past few days, humming to himself. Wendy was reading a magazine at the counter, Stan was off giving a tour, and Mabel was trying to put her new puffy kitten stickers on Dipper. It was a slow day and the shop was empty other than them since Stan had corralled all off the tourists to go on the tour.

He tightened the screw he was having trouble with and grinned when a bag of chips fell from the top shelf of the machine. He reached in and called out, "Hey, Hambone! I got your chips!"

Mabel cheered and dropped her sticker packet (allowing Dipper to breathe a sigh of relief) to run over to the handyman. She hugged the bag to her chest and beamed at Soos.

"Soos, you're amazing! I'm going to down them all in one go!"

Soos chuckled and stopped her from potentially choking herself with the amount she tried to pour into her open mouth. "One at a time, Hambone. Savor the flavor."

Dipper walked over, hiding a smile at his sister's enthusiasm. "You're not going to want lunch if you eat all of those now, Mabel."

"Oh, well! Chips must be savored, Dipstick!" she said, glancing at Soos to make sure she was saying the word right. He nodded solemnly and she beamed again.

"Don't call me that."

The handyman turned back to the vending machine, standing up and grabbing his toolbox. "Well, looks like I can put away this baby for now. The vending machine is all good, dudes. Until it breaks again, that is."

"Soos, you are the greatest human to ever live," the girl told him seriously which contradicted the wide smile on her face.

A sense of deja vu came over him as he chuckled. "It's no problem, Hambone."

It felt like he was forgetting something as he walked away to put away his toolbox. He'd heard those words before after he'd fixed the vending machine, hadn't he?

Oh, right. He'd gotten the twins' food unstuck from inside just like that one girl with braces had shown him ten years ago and then -

Soos froze, dropping his toolbox. He faintly heard Wendy asking him if something was wrong but it didn't register in his mind.

A brown-haired girl with braces and a sweater in the middle of the summer he met ten years ago.

No. There was no way it was possible. The twins would have been two back then.

But that was his birthday, and hadn't the Pines twins somehow known that he had never met his father and tried to give him a Time Wish on his birthday this year?

Oh, man. His head was starting to hurt.

"Soos?"

"You okay, man?"

"He's zoning out, guys. Someone pinch him."

He jolted back to the present and turned around hesitantly. He locked eyes with Dipper and Mabel, who looked confused and worried. He noted the chip crumbs on Mabel's face and while he normally would have pointed that out, he brushed it aside now.

"Um, dudes... I have a question to ask."

They exchanged nervous glances. "Uh, yeah, Soos?" Dipper asked. "Is something wrong?"

"Well, see, I was thinking and I remembered something that happened a while ago and... Mabel, were you the one who showed me how to rescue stuff from the vending machine about ten years ago?"

Mabel's brown eyes widened and Dipper looked over at his twin nervously. That was all the confirmation he needed.

Wendy frowned and stated, "Ten years ago they would have been two, Soos. Are you sure you didn't see someone who looked like her?" Even as she said this, something in her green eyes betrayed some wariness, as if she too had her suspicions.

"Uh, actually..." Mabel laughed awkwardly as the teenager turned to look at her. "Yes?"

Wendy's eyes widened and something clearly registered in her brain because her gaze flitted to Dipper, and the boy turned pink for reasons unknown. It looked like he was remembering something embarrassing.

"I think we're going to need to explain this one," the older twin said with a sigh, glancing at her brother.

Yeah, I bet Wendy didn't forget about that incident with Dipper even after ten years. He's gonna have some explaining to do for that one...as well as a potentially awkward situation.
