Chapter 005: Family Fishing Fever II

"Hoist the anchor!"

Mabel was standing on the stern of the boat, her left foot on the guardrail. She narrowed her eyes ahead, smiling as she turned around. Soos began pulling on a long metal chain from the side of the boat, pulling a cinder block out of the water.

"Raise the flag!"

Dipper picked up a purple and pink fuzzy blanket, raising it up in a flag-fashion as it blowed in the chilly wind. Even with the wind, the temperature was still pretty warm outside for a winter day.

"We're gonna find that Gobblewonker!" Wally exclaimed.

"We're gonna win that photo contest!" Mabel responded, pumping her fist up in the air.

"Do any of you guys have mittens?" Soos asked, as he drove the boat towards the island

"We're gonna... go get mittens!" Mabel called out, as Soos, Wally, and Dipper cheered in response. Soos then took a U-turn away from the island, turning the boat back to the shore.

Unknown to them, a strange monster-like figure swam by from deep underwater, a low growl coming from it.

Dipper, Wally, and Soos watched Mabel pace back and forth, her hands behind her back. The sun was pretty high in the sky, the time approaching noon.

"Alright. If we wanna win this contest, we've gotta do it right!" Mabel exclaimed, pounding her fist against her other hand, as she turned to face her twins and Soos, "Think. What's the number one problem with most monster hunts?"

"You're a side character, then you die within the first five minutes of the movie." Soos responded, his eyes widening in realization, "Man, am I a side character?! Do y'ever think about stuff like that?"

"No, no, no. Camera trouble! Say Yeti shows up. Soos, can you be the Yeti?" Mabel asked, pointing her finger at the man.

Soos slightly turned in confusion, doing an extremely awkward posing of a Yeti, his eyes slightly derped.

"There he is! Yeti!" Mabel exclaimed in a mocking tone, as she began patting her coat, exaggerating her expressions and actions, "Uh-oh, no camera! Oh, wait, here's one! Aw, no film! You see? You see what I'm doing here?"

Soos, Wally, and Dipper nodded in agreement, as Mabel walked over to them. "Oh, yeah. Dude's got a point." Soos commented, nodding once again.

"That's why I bought seventeen disposable cameras!" Mabel exclaimed, pumping her fist into the air. "Two on my ankle, three in my coat, four for each of you, three extras in this bag, and one..." Mabel exclaimed, raising up the side over her oversized shirt, revealing a taped-on camera on her pink undershirt, "under my shirt! There's no way we're gonna miss this. Okay everybody, let's test our cameras out!"

Soos attempted to take a picture, unknowingly turning the direction his way, resulting it flashing in his face, blinding his briefly.

"Aw, dude!" he exclaimed, startled, accidentally tossing the camera into the water as he rubbed his watery eyes.

"You see? This is exactly why you need backup cameras. We still have sixteen!" Mabel exclaimed, as a seagull flew over Wally's head, startling him.

"Ah, bird!" He yelled in shock, tossing the camera he was holding straight into the water.

"Fifteen! Okay, guys, I repeat; don't lose your cameras!" Mabel continued, slightly aggravated.

"Wait, lose the cameras?" Soos asked, raising his eyebrow in confusion.

"Don't!" Mabel yelled, her eyes widening in anger.

"Sis, I just threw like two away." Dipper continued, pointing at the two cameras which were now floating in the water behind him.
