I sighed and pet Waddles, not caring that he had already eaten half of my pancake. I stared at Toby's uncovered face, oh! The blood made him so cute and tough! I was worried for him, but I knew Grunkle Ford would help him and I was curious to see just how he would look with a bandage covering his face! Then, I had a brilliant idea. Standing up and putting Waddles in my chair, I ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Pushing into mine and Dipper's room I quickly got out my camera. No point to find a cute boy and NOT record his good looks! I walked quietly to the top of the stairs and crouched down, pointing the camera at Grunkle Ford's voice and looking through. I could see Ford, but as I panned around I couldn't find Toby! Deciding to look my own two eyes, I peeked down...He was missing! Had Grunkle Ford sent him off immediately!? "W-what are you d-d-doing?" I jumped slightly and looked up. Right into Toby's eyes, I grinned. "Trying to find you silly!" "T-then why d-do you ha-have a-a camera?" His voice was slightly cold and suspicious, it hurt to hear him sound like that. "Weeeelllll" I began "I wanted to get a picture of your face! Cuz I like it!" His eyebrow raised slightly and I realized what I had said. "I mean!....uh.." I stammered out, but Toby smiled slightly and offered me his hand. I took it and he helped me up. Now, I have a million words to describe Toby's hand, some include: strong, rough yet soft, and calloused. I stood with his help and took a quick minute to look at his face again. Then I noticed something I hadn't seen before, "your cheek! Is it okay?" The left side of his lips was torn, leaving a gash big enough to see his teeth through. It didn't look like it was bleeding, but you could never be too sure. "It-it's just-t a sc-sc-scar I got wh-when younger" he seemed slightly uncomfortable by me pointing it out, so I changed the topic. "Have you met Waddles yet?" I started to walk down the stairs, trying to listen for his footsteps that let me know he was following. I stopped at the bottom and turned expecting him to be still at the top. But, he had followed. So he was sneaky! I could only imagine how that would help, he could sneak into my room to see me! How romantic! Before I knew it we had arrived at the kitchen, where I scooped up Waddles who was licking my plate clean. "Here's Waddles!" Toby seemed surprised, "a P-pig?" He asked. "Yep! Isn't he cuuuuuttteee~" I took a step towards Toby and held out Waddles for him to pet. But, as Toby reached forward to stroke Waddles, Waddles leapt out of my arms with a squeal! "Hey!" I tried to grab him but it was too late. I sighed, sad that they didn't get along. "It-it's okay!" Toby reassured me, "I'm-m not t-the best-t with an-nimals" he seemed to silently chuckle his comment. I smiled at his sweetness and went to say something when I was interrupted. "Hey, Mabel sweetie, I thought we agreed no more boys in the house. After what happened last time."
