Another long chapter for my pookies

FORD'S P.O.V.

I'm in my lab, writing on my new journal about my findings from the trip I took with Stanley. Never in my life would I have expected to see a Kraken up close. Truly fascinating.

Then I heard a loud scream from the gift shop. I quickly got up, grabbed my stabiliser and ran up the stairs as quickly as I could and aimed it carelessly. "What is it?!" I yelled.

Stanley put his hands up and exclaimed "Sweet Moses Poindexter! Relax it's the kid!!" He pointed at Mabel who was jumping up and down excitedly, holding Wendy's hand. I put my gun down and looked at Mabel.

"Mabel? Is everything alright?" I asked, genuinely concerned. She started yelling "THERE'S A PARTY AT GREASY'S DINER TONIGHT AND WE'RE ALL INVITED!!" she was smiling brightly.

I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose, "you scared me half to death Mabel" I smile and walk back towards the vending machine "have fun at the party then"

Mabel exclaimed "Grunkle Ford wait!!" I turned and looked at her. "Yes dear?" I asked.

She let go of Wendy's hand and walked towards me "you're not coming?" She asked. I shook my head and waved a dismissal hand. "I'm not really a party person Mabel, I prefer books" I smiled slightly and she lowered her head. Then she looked up at me again, smiling.

"What if Y/N was there?" She grinned. I blushed and looked away nervously. "I-I seriously doubt Y/N would be there, they have much research to attend to" then Wendy spoke up. "Nah man Y/N is totally gonna be there! They were the first person I spoke to about it. Though, they said they'd come in late."

I froze, 'should I..? Y/N will be there it can't be all bad' I thought then I slowly nodded "alright Mabel, I will join you in this.. party" and with that Mabel was screaming again "oh my gosh Grunkle Ford!! Please let me pick your outfit!! Pleasepleaseplease!! Also when you and Y/N smooch, I want all the details!" She said and ran inside the house, grabbing Dipper in the process.

I chuckled then looked at Wendy again "what time should we be there miss Corduroy?" She cringed when I called her that. "Just Wendy is fine dude, and it's at 8:30 pm! See ya there!" She said and she left.

I looked at Stanley who was grinning. "You've got it bad Sixer, going to a party cause your crush is going. Very high school-ish of you" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes. "It's called a romantic interest, not a crush and high school-ish is not a word Stanley." I walked back towards the vending machine. "You ain't denying it though" he said. I stopped for a minute then walked back downstairs to my lab.

I sat at my desk, thinking. 'well yes obviously I like them, I just don't know how to make it more obvious.. this fool is more clueless than I originally thought' I sigh heavily and lean my head on my hands.

'how can I make it more obvious?' I thought when it came to me. The party.

THIRD-PERSON P.O.V.

TIME SKIP TO THE PARTY

it's 8:30 pm, people have started gathering around Greasy's. 80's disco is blasting through the speakers and the townspeople are already hyped up.

The twins Mabel and Dipper along with their Grunkles, have also arrived amongst the townspeople. You were nowhere to be found, of course.

As the party started, the adults were drinking their alcoholic beverages and making conversation and the kids were dancing and having fun. Everyone was having a good time.
