A few moments later at an aquatic themed restaurant, Mabel and Gideon are sitting together at a booth.
“I can't believe they let us bring a horse in here!” Mabel says.
“Well, people have a hard time saying no to me.” Gideon says as he puts his feet up on table.
“Ah, Monsieur Gideon! Ze feet on ze table! An excellent choice!” The waiter says.
“Jean Luc, what did we discuss about eye contact?” The waiter looks away. “Yes, yes, very good!”
“I've never seen so many forks! And water with bubbles in it? Ooh lala, oui, oui!” Mabel says.
“Oh! Parlez vous francais?!” Gideon says.
“...I have no idea what you're saying.”
(A/n: since I am taking French lessons why not put some in here)
Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack gift shop, where Stanford is looking at a newspaper article showing a picture of Gideon and Mabel together.
“Hey, hey! What the jackal is Mabel doing in the paper next to that crazy pickpocket Gideon?” He says.
“Oh, yeah, it's like a big deal. Everybody's talking about Gideon and Mabel's big date tonight.” Wendy says.
“WHAT?! That little shyster is dating my great niece!?
“I wonder what the new name will be for the power couple. Mabideon? Gideabel?” Soos says. He gasps. “Magidbeleon!”
(A/n: Soos you really need to work on your ships names…)
Ford exits.
“I didn't know! I didn't hear about it and plus, Marco and I told her not to.” Dipper says.
“But she did it anyway...” Marco says.
“She didn’t want to hurt his feelings.” Star says.
Ford reenters, wearing his suit. “Yeah, well it ends tonight. I'm going right down to that little skunk's house; This is gonna stop RIGHT now!” H slams the door.
“Dude, wouldn't it be funny if that was a closet, and he had to come back out again and go out the real door?” Soos says.
Star opens the door. “Nope. Real door.” She says.
Stanford's car skids to a halt in front of Gideon's house. He drives his car up to Gideon's house and skids to a halt in front.
He knocks at the door. “Gideon, you little punk! Open up!” He reads sign on the door that says ‘Please Pardon This Garden’. “I will pardon NOTHING!”
Bud opens the door. “Why, Stanford Pines! What a delight!”
“Out of the way Bud, I'm looking for Gideon!”
“Well, I haven't seen the boy around, but since you're here, you simply must come in for coffee!” He pulls Stanford inside.
“But-but I came…”
“It's imported! All the way from Colombia!”
“Wow... I went to jail there once.” Stanford whistles. “Some digs you got here.” He sees the clown painting. “Oh, this. This is beautiful.”
(A/n: hmmm… I wonder why he went to jail there…)
“Now, I hear that your niece and my Gideon are, well, they're singin' in harmony lately so to speak!”
“Uh, yeah, and I'm against it. Nyah.” He knocks a pillow off the couch.
“No no no. I see it as a fantastic business opportunity. Yes, the Mystery Shack and the Tent of Telepathy. We've been at each other's throats for far too – lemme get that.” He rips down a picture of Stan on a dart board. “We’ve been at each other's throats for far too long, yes we have. This is our big chance to set aside our rivalry and pool our collective profit, you see.”
Stanford clicks a cash register. “I'm listening.”
(A/n: Stanley sure loves money so much!)
Cut back to Gideon and Mabel in The Club.
“...And so I said ‘Autograph your own head shot lady.’” Gideon laughs.
Mabel nervously laughs. “Yeah...” she says. The lobster on her plate pinches her fork.
“Mabel, tonight's date was a complete success. And tomorrow's date promises to top this one in every way!”
“Whoa whoa, you said just one date, and this was it.”
“Hark! What a surprise! A red crested South American rainbow macaw!
The macaw flies in and lands on Gideon.
Mabel screams and grabs the lobster.
“...two three four...”
“MABEL! WILL YOUACCOMPANYGIDEONTOTHE BALLROOM DANCETHISTHURBDAY.” The Macaw says.
Gideon shakes it violently.
“THURSDAY!” It coughs up a letter and flies away.
“Oh, so adorable.” A woman says.
“Gideon's got a girlfriend.” The chef says.
“They're expectin' us. Please say you'll go.” Gideon says.
“Oh, Gideon, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to say-” Mabel says.
“I'm on the edge of my seat.” Someone says.
“This is gonna be adorable.”
“If she say's no, I'll die from sadness.” An old woman says.
“I can verify that that will indeed happen.” The doctor beside her says
(A/n: yeah I am sure that will happen…)
People are now chattering.
Cut back to the Shack. Mabel walks by Dipper, Star and Marco as he's reading the journal.
“Hey. How'd it go?” Marco asks.
“I don't know...” She puts the lobster in the tank. “I have a lobster now.”
“Well, at least it's over and you'll never have to go out with him again.” Dipper pauses. “Mabel? It's over, right?”
“Mabel?” Star says.
“BLAARRGG!” Mabel flails her arms. “He asked me out again and I didn't know how to say no.”
“What do you mean? It’s easy.” Dipper says.
“Like this: no.” Marco says.
“It's not that easy, guys! And I do like Gideon, as a friend slash little sister, so I didn't want to hurt his feelings! I just need to get things back to where they used to be. You know, friends.” Mabel says.
“I know how that feels.” Star says looking down.
