[The webcam turns on to a pink/rainbow colored room. An unkempt bed was to the webcam's right, plushies and knitting stuff strewn about. A doggie bed was laid just next to the bed, a pink pig fast asleep.]
[A familiar, long-haired 13-year-old pops into view from the right with her braces filled grin]
Mabel: Hello! Mabel Pines here from her home, where she roams: Piedmont, California!
[Some airhorns flared as she whooped.]
Mabel: Yep! Summer's over and school's back in session! (Smiling somberly) Which meant Dipper and I had to leave Gravity Falls. (Perked up) But, don't worry! There's always next year! And in the meantime, I thought I'd bring back a little thing I like to call Mabel's Guide to Life !"
[A brief montage of past clips from her little series played for a bit before returning to the main video.]
Mabel: It's been a while since my last video. A lot had happened near the end of summer. (Looks uneasy) A…lot. Anyways, today I wanna talk about changes. Change happens all around us.
[Video cuts to a tree branch with green, yellow, and red leaves.]
Mabel: (offscreen) From the color of leaves…
[A squirrel scurries into frame. It notices the camera and suddenly attacks the equipment and Mabel.]
Mabel: (offscreen) AH! Not again!
[Cuts to a plump woman sitting at the island table with a mug in her hand.]
Mabel: (offscreen) ...to the graying hairs on an aging mom's head.
[Caroline Pines gives her daughter a look with a playful smile that says 'I will get back at you for that comment' before the video cuts back to Mabel in her room.]
Mabel: (blithely) Change always happens and there's nothing you can do about it! Not even being trapped in a dream bubble. (long, awkward silence) …anyhoodles! The kind of changes I wanna talk about today is…Style!
[Mabel holds up several pictures of various fashion styles.]
Mabel: There are all kinds of clothing styles, all catering to one's tastes and moods. Something that just screams you .
[She shows one of the Japanese pink lolita.]
Mabel: Like if you want something cute, frilly, and pink to show how stylish and over budget you are…
[Shows a man in casual wear, chilling on a bench.]
Mabel: …or something simple that doesn't stand out too much because you lead a boring life…
[Shows the last photo…which is a miserable Robbie in a new gothic outfit.]
Mabel: …or when you've lost your favorite hoodie and reasons for living!
[Mabel puts down the photos and moves to the center of the frame.]
Mabel: Usually, I have either Grenda or Candy to help me get Grunkle Stan or Soos into outfits and makeup. But, they're back in Gravity Falls and Grunkle Stan is out at sea with his own bro-bro…and none of my friends at school have time for me…soooo, I'm just gonna have to stick with the next best thing…ME!
[She backs up to give a full view of herself.]
Mabel: Here she is! Classic Mabel with her hand-made, turtleneck sweater, and skirt! (twirls) Take it in, folks! Because I've got a change in mind!
[She leaps out of frame to the right as she changes her clothes. Her old, shooting star sweater is thrown into view before Mabel leaps back in a moment later.]
Mabel: And here we are!
[She had replaced her sweater with a similar designed one in the same color and shooting star, but the collar was wide enough to show her shoulders and had knitted shoulder straps. A white tank top can be noticed underneath.]
Mabel: I made this sweater too. And that's not all!
[She hops as she tries to lift her leg to show.]
Mabel: Leggings!
[She starts tipping over before she caught herself so she doesn't fall and giggled]
Mabel: It's gonna get cold soon and it's a new school year, so –
[A door opens offscreen, surprising Mabel.]
Dipper: (offscreen) Hey, Mabel, do you have any burn ointments?
Mabel: Dipper! I'm in the middle of a — …Why do you need a burn ointment? (Gasp) What happened?
Dipper: (offscreen) It's fine, Mabel. It's just a small burn. I-I'm sorry for interrupting your video.
Mabel: Was it Bullard again?
Dipper: (offscreen) No. I was trying to light a candle and burned my hand… Is that your new sweater?
Mabel: (smiling) Yep, it is! How does it look?
Dipper: (offscreen) It looks great. I just have one question.
Mabel: Ask away.
Dipper: (offscreen) Wouldn't that collar make it hard for you to go to Sweater Town?
Mabel: …I just thought it was time that I shouldn't shut myself whenever I feel upset. I've got some amazing people to go to. And besides–
[Mabel reaches back and pulls a hood over her head, covering her eyes in the process.]
Mabel: (cheerfully) I've attached a knitted hood to it! Hoodsville!
Dipper: (offscreen; chuckling) Alright…so, ointment?
[Mabel takes off the hood.]
Mabel: Check the joint bathroom.
[Soft footsteps of sock covered feet are heard before another door opens and closes.]
Mabel: Hmmm…what style could fit Dipper?
[Mabel looks back at herself in the camera, giving herself a once over at her new look on the computer screen before having a more thoughtful expression as she ran her hand through her long hair.]
Mabel: Hey, Dipper? Should I get a haircut?
[Video ends]
Mabel - [Should I cut my hair?]
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Dipper - [Whatever floats your boat.]
Stan - [You look great, pumpkin.]
Ford - [There are amazing benefits to having short hair. It's time-saving, better scalp health, and less prone to damage. Who is Bullard?]
Stan - [Yeah. Who's Bullard?]
Dipper - [Nobody.]
Robbie - [I keep telling you. I wasn't upset over that darn hoodie...thanks for the suggestion, by the way. Tambry likes the goth look.]
Grenda - [You look great, Mabel! Sorry that we can't be there to help.]
Candy - [We'll just have to wait until next summer. I have many plans in mind for Mr. Pines and Soos.]
Stan - [Wait, what?]
Soos - [My only exception is tight pants.]
Grenda - [Deal!]
Melody - [If you get a haircut, be sure to get a professional or at least someone with better experience. I tried doing it myself when I was, like, ten years old and my hair looked like the tasmanian devil got caught in it.]
Wendy - [You do you, Mabes.]
Pacifica - [You have surprisingly great hair, Mabel. If you wanna keep it that way, get it trimmed to prevent split ends. It's a nightmare.]
Gideon - [You look great with any style, sweetie.]
Stan - [Stay outta this, Gideon.]
Gideon - [It was just a compliment, old man! Can I not compliment Mabel?]
Stan - [From you? No.]
