"You guys are entirely too trusting for your own goods." Bill commented as he rode on Dipper's shoulder while Grunkle Stan drove Mabel and Dipper blindfolded to an unknown location. "I mean, I get he's your uncle, but the blindfolds are just a liiiiittle too trusting."

"Well, hopefully this time we won't end up in one-night jail again." Mabel said quietly.

"Where are we going, Grunkle Stan?" Dipper asked.

"Just wait a bit longer, it'll be great!" Stan grinned as he drove. "We're gonna have such a blast!"

They finally stopped and he got out, walking over to let them out. "Alright, blindfolds off! We're here!"

They took off the blindfolds and looked around. "The lake?" Mabel asked.

"Are we going swimming?" Dipper asked.

"Nope, even better! We're going fishing!" He opened the trunk and got out a a few things, setting hats with their names badly sewn onto them on their heads. "This will be great!"

"Haha, I'm wearing two hats now! Cool!" Dipper adjusted his stack of hats and grinned.

"Well, it won't put us in jail!" Mabel grinned. "Let's do it!"

"I SEEN IT! I SEEN IT AGAIN!" A belligerent old man came running into the area.

"What the...?" Bill gasped and ducked under Dipper's hat, watching the old man warily.

"Haha, the old man scared Bill." Dipper whispered to Mabel while Stan rolled his eyes at the old man babbling about some monster in the lake,

"Don't worry about it, kids." Stan told them. "I'm sure he's just making it up."

"I am NOT!" The old man ran over to the dock. "Look what it did to my boat!"

The lake's visitors walked over to look at the damage. "Whoa, that's pretty nasty." Mabel cringed.

"He probably just crashed it into something." Stan frowned. "A rock or something."

"Or a monster!" Dipper looked at him.

"There's no monster." Stan said firmly. "This guy is just cuckoo."

"There is! There is a monster!" The old man gripped Dipper's shoulders. "The Gobblewonker! It lives in deep waters, trashing boats that dare to venture near its island home!" He pointed to an island that was visible from where they were.

"Wow..." Dipper smiled.

Stan pulled Dipper away from him. "Darn it, McGucket, this kid is already getting himself in trouble without you filling his head with stuff that isn't real! Come on, Dipper, Mabel. We're going fishing."

"But what if it IS real?" Dipper asked. "We could put it in the Shack!"

"Might be fun! The biggest catch ever!" Mabel encouraged.

"We'd have to get a tank, though." Dipper nodded. "Or make a pool near the shack for it!"

Stan blinked in surprise and chuckled. "Well, why not. Let's go fishing for this monster, huh? We'll need a bigger boat, though."

"I've got a bigger boat!" Soos approached them from the crowd. "I can drive you and the kids there!"

Stan nodded. "And, even if there's no monster, family bonding time!"

"Family bonding time!" Dipper and Mabel both cheered as they all headed for Soos's boat with the fishing equipment.

Bill poked his head out of a slightly-falling off letter on the hat and frowned, watching McGucket as he stared at them going. "...What the hell happened to you?" He muttered, poking his head back in.
