AN: Ford gives Dan his sign name after the first scene. Dan's sign name is 'Cool'. Mabel also has her sign name by now, 'Glitter'.

The twins, along with Bella, Dan, and Ria were in the gift shop. Ford was reading through the journal, Dan was reading a magazine with his feet propped up on the counter, and Ria was working on cleaning something. Bella was reading her own book, seated against the wall, and Stan was spinning around on the globe.

"Hey guys, do you believe in ghosts?" Ford asked Stan and Bella.

"Of course," Bella said, flipping a page in her book.

"I have no idea what you just said," Stan laughed. Ford used the pencil he was holding to make the spinning globe stop. The sudden lack of motion caused Stan to fall off. Mabel entered the room. Ria ran over to her, panting, while Dan stayed at the cash register.

"I'm heading out," Mabel said. "You two are going to wash the bathrooms, right? Please?"

The two employees saluted her one at a time.

"Haha, stay out of trouble," Mabel smiled, walking out the door. Dan walked over to a curtain on the wall.

"What's this?" He asked, moving the curtain to reveal a ladder. "A secret ladder to the roof?"

"Ah don' know if Ms. Pines would like that," Fiddleford said, entering the room while wiping off his hands. Dan waved his hand near the ladder, making Ria whimper.

"Duude," Ria said as Dan did it again. "You're freaking me out, dude!"

"Can we actually go up there?" Ford asked.

"Sure we can," Dan said. "Roof time! Roof time!"

The twins, Dan, and Bella climbed the ladder, chanting. Ria watched nervously out the window.

"Alright, check it out!" Dan smiled. The spot on the roof had a cooler, a lawn chair, and even an umbrella. There was a pile of pine cones next to the lawn chair and a target sign taped onto the totem pole in the yard.

"Did you put all this stuff up here?" Ford asked.

"I may or may not sneak up here during work, all the time, everyday," Dan shrugged. He tossed a pine cone at the target and hit it in the center. "Bullseye!"

"Neato dorito!" Bella gasped.

"Me first!" Stan announced, grabbing a pine cone. He threw it, but it fell short of the totem pole. Ford and Bella joined in, and the three of them were throwing pine cones. Ford threw one that hit a car, making the lights start flashing. He inhaled, blushing.

"Nice one! Up top!" Dan said, holding out his hand for a high five. "Don't leave me hanging, man."

Ford smiled and returned the high five. Just then a car pulled up.

"Oh cool, it's my friends," Dan said. "Uh, you guys aren't gonna tell Mabel about this place, right?"

Ford zipped his lips, 'throwing away' the key. Dan did the same and jumped off the roof onto a nearby pine tree. He slid to the ground and got into the car, which then sped off.

"Later Dan!" Ford yelled after them. He laughed to himself. "Good times."

"Uh oh!" Stan said teasingly.

"What?" Ford asked, looking at him.

"Somebody's in looove!" Stan smiled.

"Yay, love!" Bella giggled.

"What? No I'm not!" Ford denied. "I just think Dan is cool. It's not like I lie awake at night thinking about him!"
