Gravity Falls S3 (Continued)

Season 3 Episode 17: The Sky is Falling

Mabel paced around in the gift-shop constantly looking at the vending machine door with a huff and then pacing and then repeating the same actions over again, as if she was waiting for someone to come out of the door.

Dipper, who walked past the doorway of the gift-shop, paused and backtracked as he poked his head into the doorway to see his sister pacing. Even though that was his thing...so something must've been seriously wrong or she was waiting for someone.

The boy stepped into the room completely and walked over to Wendy, leaning over as he quietly started to talk. "What's she pacing for?"

She glanced up from her phone and stopped texting. "I dunno, man. She's been doing it for a couple hours, at least. Besides, isn't pacing like...your thing?"

"That's what i'm saying!!" He exclaimed sort've loud but his sister paid no mind to him.

He glanced at Wendy and she glanced back. Feet on the counter and all, but now she was sitting up slightly straighter than before; attention grabbed.

"Hey, uh, Mabel? What's the..." He moves his index finger around in a circle once. "-pacing about?"

Her direction moved from the vending machine to her brother and friend as she stopped pacing. The tracks of her shoes were on the floor, clearly imprinted.

"Grunkle Ford and I were going to go out on a adventure today!" She whined a little, but not the annoying whine. The whine as in she was disappointed.

"Annddd...did he cancel or..."

"Well...no...not exactly, but he said he would be here first thing in the morning, so I got up right when the sun came out, and i've been waiting all morning!"

Dipper snorted out of amusement. "Mabel, I don't think he meant first thing as soon as he sun came up, but I think it was just a way of saying he would be out there in the morning...just not early like...what, 6AM? Who wants to get up that early in the summer?"

"I do! You always catch the sunrises and you get to drink MabelJuice! The best way to start a morning up!"

"That's not my point. My point is that, he should be here soon then if you've already been waiting since 6. That means it has to be at least 10 right now-"

"10:30." Wendy chimed in and snickered as her friend's face went blank and he sighed.

"Same thing."

Just then, the vending machine opened and smoke came out of it. The opening looked dramatic, and even cool. The smoke kept going and it blew across the floor, reaching some of the gift-shop. A couple people who were in the shop, looked over towards the machine, and so did the teens.

Stanford then stepped out, and at first it looked like he was posing, looking dramatic and heroic...that is, before he coughed and patted his face, which was on fire, and then slammed the door to the machine shut.

"Flammable shaving...hard to master but easy to do." He remarked to himself as he glanced around to notice other people staring, other than just the teens. "Well? Haven't you seen a man with a flame on his face before? Move along." He spoke then was attacked by a tight hug.

"GRUNKLE FORD!!!" Mabel cried as she hugged his waist tighter than ever and smiled as her face pressed against his cozy sweater. "Arewereadytogoonthatadventureorwhat?" She asked quickly, obviously excited.

He gave a small chuckle along with a smile as he glanced at everyone then looked down at his niece and looked at the doorway, throwing his head up once and lightly as a gesture to go to the other room. She quickly caught on and let go, bolting to the other room.
