Stranded

The Dinner

When Dipper got back to his room, he was still stunned. His face felt hot, and he knew he was blushing still.

Blushing that hadn't go unnoticed by Mabel.

"Hey Bro-Bro, I lost you earlier. What have you been up to?" Mabel asked.

"Me? Oh nothing...just was looking for somewhere to write..." Dipper said quickly.

"Bro-Bro...why are you blushing?" Mabel asked.

"Um...no reason..." Dipper lied.

Then Mabel gasped dramatically.

"You met someone!" Mabel said loudly.

"No...I, um...maybe...?" Dipper managed to spit out.

"What's his name?" Mabel asked excitedly.

"It's really not that big of a deal. We both just wanted to get away from the crowds so we hung out and talked for a bit." Dipper said.

"If it's not that big of a deal then why are you still blushing?" Mabel asked.

"Oh...um..." Dipper stuttered.

"You have to introduce me to him bro-bro!" Mabel

"I don't know...we only just met..." Dipper said.

"Can I at least know his name?" Mabel asked.

"Fine...his name is Bill. Bill Cipher." Dipper said.

"Thank you Dipper! I promise I won't stalk him through social media to find out everything about him when we get home." Mabel said.

"That sounded strangely specific..." Dipper said.

"Don't worry about it." Mabel said, "Anyway, when are you going to see him next?"

"Well...he did say something about dinner..." Dipper said. Mabel gasped dramatically.

"He asked you to dinner!?" Mabel said loudly.

"No, he just said, 'see you at dinner'. He never really asked me...or maybe he did. I don't know maybe he said 'will I see you at dinner?' I can't remember now! You're twisting my words and confusing me!" Dipper said. Mabel started jumping up and down excitedly.

"Dipper! We have to make you look amazing for dinner! Oh! I can do your makeup!" Mabel said, her voice getting louder and louder with each sentence.

"No! I don't think it's a date or anything. We just met, we're just friends. I mean, he is gay, but that doesn't mean anything yet. I don't want to overdo it and scare him away. This is the first friend I've made in years." Dipper said. Mabel frowned.

"Fiiiine. But if you guys start getting closer, promise me you'll let me get you ready for your date." Mabel said.

"I'll think about it." Dipper said. Mabel frowned but before she could respond Stan walked into the room.

"Holy hot belgian waffles, what's with all the Mabel pterodactyl screeching?" Stan asked as he walked into the room.

"You know you can swear infront of us now. We're adults." Dipper said. Stan laughed.

"You're funny kid." Stan said, patting Dipper's shoulder, "Seriously though, what's with all the noise?"

"Mabel stopped screeching before you even came out." Dipper pointed out.

"Well I tried to ignore it at first, but she kept getting louder." Stan said, "Anyway, what's going on?"

"Dipper has a boyfriend!" Mabel said excitedly.
