(Everyone is at the Gravity Falls Library)

Dipper: Alright, Mabel, today is the big day!

Mabel: Woop woop! Big day!

Dipper: Neil finally fixed up the laptop. If this works, we could learn the identity of the author and unravel the greatest mysteries of Gravity Falls! You ready?

Mabel: Oh, I'm ready, baby. Just as much as a baby wants its mama.

Dipper: Too bad Max, Nikki, and Neil ditched us to go hang with Soraya. Now let's see... (laptop turns on) Aha! It worked!

Dipper & Mabel: Blip, blap, bloobity bloop, twins! (High fives, fist bumps, and stick out tongues)

(The laptop reads "UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FORBIDDEN". Then it asks for a password)

Dipper: Ugh, of course this damn laptop has a password!

Mabel: Don't worry, bro bro. With your brains and my laser focus, there is literally nothing that can distract us from-

Preston: MABEL!!!

(Preston gets shushed by the librarian. Preston blushes in embarrassment as Mabel runs to him)

Mabel: What is it, Preston?

Preston: Mabel, I just have the perfect idea for my next musical! And I want you to play the main lead!

Dipper: Preston, now is not the time for-

Mabel: Ahhh... (making goo goo eyes)

Dipper: Oh boy...

Mabel: One of my three crushes wants me as the main lead to his play... How can't I resist?

Dipper: I will resist in a snap. (Grabs a library book out of the shelf) Okay, this cryptology book says that there's 7.2 million 8 lettered words. I'll type, you read. Okay, Mabel? Mabel?

(Mabel is absent)

Preston: So I was thinking, I want to do a rock opera! Something with forbidden love, betrayal, and friendship! But it won't just be any rock opera... since each and every character is a sock puppet!

Mabel: A sock puppet?! Oooh!

Preston: People say sock puppets are dumb or only for little kids. But on Friday, we could prove everyone wrong! This show will go down in Broadway history!

Mabel: (looks toward Dipper) So... how much time will I spend practicing on the musical?

Preston: Woman! A true musical must require full participation from all its actors! It's theater etiquette that you be here every day to practice practice practice!

Mabel: Alrighty then, Preston! I won't let you down!

(Mabel skips over to Dipper)

Dipper: So... How did it go?

Mabel: I... I'm now the main lead of Preston's play.

Dipper: (grabs her by the sweater) Mabel, are you serious?

Mabel: Can't you blame me, Dipper? This is an opportunity of a lifetime! I'd get to help one of my dream boys of the summer put on an epic rock opera with sock puppets!

Dipper: But... won't you have time cracking this password? You know, mystery twins?

Mabel: If you help me practice for the opera for just a couple days, I promise I'll help you with the password! Please, pretty please! For the love of your twin sister!

Dipper: Alright, okay-

Mabel: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Dipper: Okay okay, shhh. (It was time to leave the library) I can't wait to get to the bottom of this laptop. We're close to something big here; I can feel it...
