   It'd probably been hours, Mabel had been running in different directions and probably all over Gravity Falls by now, but she had made it to the front porch of the Mystery Shack, all sweaty, tired, and completely out of breath. She placed her hands on her knees, catching her breath and relaxing for a bit before walking up to the door and opening it. Nobody was really around, did they go off somewhere or where people hiding or? Never mind, Mabel heard footsteps coming from the back room, a tall girl with red hair and a pair of headphones walked out, raising a brow, she looked, no wait, this was DEFINITELY Wendy. The two stared at each other for awhile before she took the headphones off "Well I be dammed, Mabel!" She said excitedly, placing her hands in her pockets. Mabel had ran forward and nearly tackled her into a hug "I ALMOST DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU WENDY! ITS BEEN YEARS!aAaAAAAAAAAAA" Mabel clutched onto her waist, tears of joy streaming down her face as Wendy awkwardly gave her a pat on the head. "Uh, nice to see you too, but, i need, air, pl e ase" she wheezed slightly.
Mabel let go, excitedly as she let out a deep puff of air "Have you seen Soos or anyone else around?" Mabel asked as Wendy tapped her chin "I know Sood went out to gather some materials for project ideas, and we have two employees in the back room right now.." she murmured tapping her chin "Here, I'll take you to meet them, follow me" Wendy turned on her heel, flagging Mabel to follow her.
Mabel followed closely behind, looking around the shack, it didn't change that much besides new merchandise and some new art hanging up. It was, home to her. Wendy opened the back room door, letting Mabel in before Wendy spoke up "That over there is Skips, he won't tell me his first name so I call him by his last" the boy waved over at the two, he was currently staring down at his phone screen. "North is somewhere, hey skips you know where she is?" "Bathroom" he murmured as Wendy nodded, wincing slightly at how awkward it was talking to him "Okay...well Mabel, just hang out and introduce yourself to Skips and North, get to know them and make friends, you're good at that stuff, I gpt the register you two" She then headed off back to the front. Mabel flopped down on a busted up couch, swinging her legs "Soooooooooooo, Skips how are you, how old are you, and why won't you give up the first name?" "Bored, sixteen, and it's stupid" He murmured before shutting off his phone and placing it in his pocket. "I'm just going to go restock or something" He headed off. "Huh, people dont seem up for conversation." Mabel muttered placing her head in her hands. The backroom door soon opened again. Mabel whipped her head back to see who it was. She squinted slightly before gasping "Oh my god"
