Joseon Guardians: Season One

The Inconveniencing - Part One

The week after the fight against Gideon flew by quickly with not much action, except Bill running away from Gompers and Tad ending up placing the goat on the roof of the Shack, so his partner stopped freaking out and called the poor animal a 'force of pure evil'.

Obviously Gideon's show found its end after Mabel crashed his amulet. He did try to sneak into the Shack a few times, but it was nothing they couldn't deal with. Kryptos also stopped by a few times, which caused the yellow demon go away cursing and complaining to Pi who's opinion on 'fuck it out' still hasn't changed a bit. Tad was still ignoring his partner's warnings.

But in all nothing has really changed.

Except for Dipper starting to crush on the cashier of the Shack.

His sister would often catch him stuttering near Wendy everytime they talked. And acting weird. Tad also noticed and tried to cheer him up but failed most of the time meanwhile Bill was giving him advices just like now.

"Listen Pine Tree, I'm not into girls but what I do know is they like flowers. Probabaly. And chocolate. You can't do anything wrong with that. What's the worst thing that could happen?"

"She could reject me and be weirded out so much that she never talks to me again and makes fun of me for the rest of my life"

"Pfft! Red isn't like that! She's like chillin most of the time. The worst thing that could happen is rejection. Trust me, I've been there"

"You mean Tad rejected you?", asked Mabel curious.

"What? No! It's been some other dude I don't remember the name off but that's unimportant right now! He's been an ass anyways", at first the yellow demon was surprised at why the girl immediately thought of his partner. Him and Tad? In a relationship? They wouldn't even last two days! But Shooting Star often said absurd things so he quickly brushed that thought off. "What I'm trying to say is that you should tell her"

"Its not that easy"

"Why not?"

"Because Wendy is really cool! And she's 3 years older than me"

"Yeah demons don't have that problem. Since we're immortal beings time doesn't matter to us. We can stop aging whenever we want and decide when to continue whenever we want. Basically a three thousand year old can date a demon who is already around two million. As long as no kids are involved everything's fine. Same goes to gender and sexuality. If you wanna be gay, then be gay. Every demon is weird on their own and nobody minds. Our society kinda agreed that we're all cool with that"

"That's interesting....", Dipper took out his journal and quickly wrote what his demon told him. After he was finished he put it back and went on with thinking how he could possibly tell her without being made fun of.

"What if you try to impress her?", suggested Bill. "Prove that that you're not just an annoying twelve-year-old bookworm."

"This is..... Good actually. But how?"

The demon shrugged and thought of how to help his human out with his tiny problem. But soon after around 5 minutes of thinking, Stanley called them to come to the shop and all three obeyed.

"I'm gonna leave for the rest of the day!", he announced. "You all work like always and I don't mind if the yellow guy helps too"

"I won't"

"And when I come back I want the Shack to look tip-top got it?"

Without waiting for an answer he left them on their own. Soos continued his work and Dipper took the broom and started to clean up. Wendy continued to read the news and Mabel sat on the counter meanwhile Bill looked through the shelves.
