One Last Deal

Double Dipper

(3rd person POV)

Mabel, Dipper, and Andie were sitting on a couch when Dipper clutched his stomach in mock pain.

"Oh, no, guys. I-I don't feel so good. I-BBBBLLLAAA!" he said, spraying Andie and Mabel with silly string.

"Ooh, Grunkle Stan, what did you feed us?!" Mabel moaned.

"I think I'm gonna-!" Andie sputtered, a hand over her mouth before she and Mabel sprayed Dipper back at the same time.

The three kids laughed before Wendy walked up to them.

"Guys, guys, stop!" she said seriously. "Something terrible just happened!"

The twins and Andie stared at Wendy until she unleashed a massive load of silly string at the kids to which they all laughed.

Mabel began to throw golden confetti around. "Comedy gold!" she cheered. Stan suddenly took away the silly string and confetti from them. "Alright, alright!" he grumbled. "Party supplies are now off-limits!"

"Booooo!" Andie drew out.

"Mr. Pines, whose birthday is it again?" Soos asked, hanging up a banner.

"Nobody's. Thought this party might be a good way to get kids to spend money at the Shack," Stan replied, holding up a "Pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey" game.

"Nice!" Soos agreed.

"The young people of this town want fun; I'll SMOTHER 'em with fun!" Stan exclaimed.

"Maybe comments like that are why kids don't go to the Mystery Shack," Dipper muttered, pouring some soda for Andie and Mabel.

Stan came up and took the soda away from the kids. "Hows about you make yourselves useful and copy these flyers?" he said, handing Andie a flyer to the party.

"Oh, boy! A trip to the copier store!" Mabel said, her face lighting up.

"Calendars, mugs, t-shirts and more! They got it all at the copier store!" Soos said enthusiastically. "That's not their slogan, I just really feel that way about the copier store."

"Save the trouble," Stan said, waving off the suggestion. "You know the old copier in my office? I finally fixed the old girl up! Good as new!"

The twins headed to Stan's office and Andie started to follow before Stan grabbed her by the back of her shirt.

"Not you, kid; I need your help with decorations."

Andie simply shrugged. "Okay."

Soon after, the twins, Andie, Wendy, and Soos were all standing side-by-side in front of Stan.

"Alright party people....and Dipper," Stan said. Dipper narrowed his eyes. "Let's talk business. Soos, because you'll work for free, and you begged, I'm lettin' you be DJ."

"You won't regret it, Mr. Pines. I got this book to teach me how to DJ R-R-Right!" Soos said, holding up said book.

"Not encouraging," Stan said in a monotone voice. "Wendy, you and Mabel will work at the ticket stand."

"What?!" Mabel interrupted, clearly upset. "But Grunkle Stan, this party is my chance to make new friends!"

Andie thought for a moment before throwing an arm around Dipper. "No worries, Mabel. Dipper can work the ticket stand with Wendy."

"What?" Dipper exclaimed, his cheeks flushing a bit. He then cleared his throat, noticing how loud he'd been talking. "I mean, yeah! I definitely could!" 

This is perfect, she thought. Mabel gets to make friends and Dipper gets to hang out with Wendy. What could go wrong?

Not once did she think this was a mistake.
