A sweaty, dorky, and socially awkward preteen. That's Dipper Pines in a nutshell. The complete opposite of his sister, Mabel, who is ecstatic that their parents shipped them off to a random town in Oregon.
Dipper, unlike his sister, isn't as naive a...
"The Tiger was badly injured in the explosion, but," The Doctor on the TV explains to the local zookeeper, who is crying over his injured Tiger.
"We repaired him," The Doctor continues, "WITH A FIST!"
The Tiger appears on screen, with a badly stitched on fist. Everyone else in the room starts cheering, and I let out a chuckle as Mabel screams, "That Tiger is a hero!"
I make a so-so motion with my hand as I lean against Dipper's shoulder, "Eh, Duck-Tective is better."
"Whaaaaaaaat," Dipper narrows his eyes, and I snicker at his reaction as he playfully shoves me off of him, "That Duck is an amateur!"
He's about to keep arguing, when the TV suddenly switches to an AD, which makes Mabel let out a cry full of agony, "NOO!"
Soos hits her hard on the shoulder, making Mabel snap out of it as he tells her, "Hey, look, it's that commercial I was telling you guys about!"
"The one with the psychic kid?" I raise a brow, and Soos nods his head before pointing back at the TV. We all watch, listening to a southern accented man talking, "Are you completely miserable?"
A man is shown crying on the screen, and he looks up with tears streaming down his face, "YES!"
"Then you need to meet," The AD narrator continues, the scene changing to a mysterious figure with the name 'Gideon' plastered on it, "LITTLE GIDEON!"
"Ew," I crinkle my nose in disgust, refusing to support anything about this fraud. He's even more of a rip-off than Stan... And that's saying something.
Not only is he a fraud, but he's also supposedly Stan's "Arch Nemesis." Because he stole Stan's spot at our local mall one day.
Stan has vowed vengeance on that little child.
I turn my attention back to the TV, as it pulls up a terrible image of Stan coming out of a porta-potty in his stained clothes, "So don't waste your time with other so-called men of mystery... Learn about tomorrow tonight! At Gideon's Tent of Telepathy!"

The AD then flashes through various warnings about the possible side effects of pyschic readings, and I roll my eyes as I reach for the remote and turn the TV off, "Yeah- No."
"Whaaaat," Mabel hits my shoulder, "You can't tell me you aren't getting all curious-y inside!"
I stick out my tongue and pretend to gag, "No... NO. I never trust a child that has the hair of Marie Antoinette. Those kinds of people always... Lose their heads."
