Headhunters..."I'm afraid your services won't be required here, sir-" The constable on the TV speaks, "My men have examined the evidence, and this is obviously an accident."
This show has me hooked.
It's a show about a freaking duck detective. But I literally can't stop watching it.
I'm laying on the ground, watching the TV upside down with the popcorn bowl resting on my stomach. It's actually very comfortable.
I watch Dipper smack Mabel's hand away from the popcorn bowl, and then I open my mouth as I wait for them to feed me.
That was the agreement. I hold the popcorn bowl, they toss popcorn into my mouth.
Dipper tosses me a kernel, and gives me a high-five when it lands in my mouth, and then we return our attention to the TV.
"QUACK QUACK? QUACK QUACK... QUACK-QUACK?!" Duck-tective says on the TV, his duck noises being translated to the words, "Accident, Constable? Or was it... MURDER?"
"WHAaaAaaT?!" The constable exclaims in disbelief, a hand clasped over his mouth.
An AD then pops up on the TV, and I groan in annoyance while Mabel whispers, "That duck is a genius."
"Ehhhh-" Dipper leans back against Stan's chair, seemingly unimpressed, "It's easier to find clues when you're that close to the ground."
"Nothing impresses you, Boy Scout-" I roll my eyes, and Dipper flicks my nose in return before turning to Mabel as she asks, "Are you saying you could outwit, Duck-tective?
Dipper sits up and proudly puffs out his chest with a grin, boasting about his amazing abilities, "Mabel... I have very keen powers of observation. For example, just by smelling your breath, I can tell that you have been eating-"
He sniffs the air, and then cringes in disgust, "An entire tube of... Toothpaste?"
Mabel, caught in the act, turns away from her brother with her hands clasped over her mouth, too embarrassed to look over at us, "It was so sparkly..."
"HEY, DUDES-" Soos runs into the room, looking very excited, "You'll never guess what I found!"
"Buried treasure!" Dipper guesses, and Mabel says right after him, "Buried- Heyyy, I was gonna say that!"
She whacks his arm, and Dipper laughs before pulling Mabel up to her feet. I clear my throat, gesturing to the bowl of popcorn on me, "Ahem-"
Dipper clears his throat dramatically, bending down to remove the popcorn bowl, "I'm sorry, your majesty!"
"How could we forget!" Mabel adds on, giving me a long and exaggerated bow as I stand up and do a fancy curtsy. I then put a hand on my chest dramatically before saying, "Ungrateful servants-"
We all snicker, and Dipper shoots me a huge grin as he and Mabel keep pretending to bow to me over and over again. By the time they're done, we're all bursting into giggles. We stand there for a bit, before we remember what we were going to do, and then we eagerly chase after Soos, following him down to the lower floor of the mystery shack.
