This choice: I'm liking the sound of this • Go Back...Chapter #31Love God? Ha! Yeah, right. by: SonicV   Gravity Falls is a town that can give Sunnydale a run for its money in terms of crazy weirdness. Any bizarre and paranormal oddity you can think of, you name it, and Gravity Falls has it. However, amidst all of the insane goings on, there is one little ball of crazy that truly stands out. More out there than gnomes, more zany than a carpet that swaps people’s brains, and even crazier than a Gremloblin, at times any way, there is one person in Gravity Falls that is so unique, that not even a Society of the Blind Eye can make people forget. That person is, of course, Mabel Pines.
Now, it goes without saying that Mabel is an eccentric young girl. The fact that she has a pet pig alone proves that. However, at the same time, Mabel is not a tough girl to understand. She loves stickers and colors and fashion, she wears sweaters in the summer, once bedazzled her own face, and once practiced kissing with a boy’s picture and a leaf blower. So yeah, all and all, she’s a pretty normal girl. However that last example is an unfortunate indication of a problem she has yet to rectify. At this point in her young life, Mabel has been unable to get an honest to goodness boyfriend; an issue that she is still determined to fix.
“Gasp! Hottie in the house!” Once again, she had spotted a cute boy that had the unfortunate luck of browsing through the Mystery Shack. While distracted by a display of “Diamonds disguised as useless lumps of coal” Mabel naturally made the boy jump as soon as she exclaimed about the so called hottie, and yet the frightened look on his face did nothing to hinder her approach. Even as he flinched, she moved right into the narrow space between him and the display. Their faces were pressing so tightly against each other, it was a wonder that their eyeballs weren’t touching. “Hi! I’m Mabel.” She chimed, and once again ignored the fear in the boy’s eyes as she noticed what he’d been looking a second ago, “Oooh. You know, diamonds are a girl’s best friends. And so are pigs! But I already have enough friends. What do you say you and me become more?” The power of her smile, and the wagging of her eyebrows, all caused the expected response in the boy.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”
Pure fear, and heading for the hills.
He bolted out the door, right past the cashier, Wendy Corduroy, who looked from her magazine just in time to see the trail of dust he left behind. “Uh, come again?” Confused, she then looked in the direction he had fled from, and saw Mabel sighing heavily as she stepped back into the gift shop. The sight of her friend looking so down was certainly not easy to bare, especially since this scenario wasn’t exactly new. “Lost another one, huh?” Wendy asked, and Mabel’s sighed once again with an affirmative, “Yeah.”
“Wendy, I don’t get it. I’m super cute, I own a pig, and I can eat a whole barrel of sprinkles by myself. I’m the whole package. So why can’t I get a boyfriend?” Mabel earnestly asked. “Wellllllllll….” Wendy drew things out because she wasn’t sure how Mabel would respond to her answer. This wasn’t the first time she’d seen that scene play out, not by a longshot, and she didn’t want to hurt the girl’s feelings. However, one look at her adorable and pleading eyes finally broke the teen’s resilience, and then she sighed, “I hate to break it to you, Mabel, but you come on seriously strong. I mean, don’t get me wrong, enthusiasm’s great, but I’m just saying, you still don’t know everything about gu-
“TEACH ME!!!” In the blink of an eye, Mabel was on the counter and right in Wendy’s face. Wendy tried to find the next words to say, but Mabel left her with no time, “Come one, Wendy, you’re my only hope. You’ve been with a ton of guys!” Naturally, that phrasing didn’t sit all that well with Wendy, who simply pushed the girl back enough to have her own space, and responded, “Hey, I haven’t been with that many guys. Just Russ Durham, Eli Hall, Stoney Davidson, Psyche Wirley, Nate Holt, Danny Feldman,”
“Don’t forget the guy with the tattoos.” Mabel chimed in, just before Wendy’s cell phoned beeped. “Oh! And Mark Epsteen.” She added, failing to point out the Wendy never actually told that last guy that they were over. So naturally, Wendy clicked the appropriate button on her phone, “Ignore.” Now with that taken care of, and in a better mood, she decided that she would indeed help Mabel out, “But seriously, dude, if you want, I can show you how can land any guy you want.” That confident smile and those words were all it took to let Mabel know that Wendy was the key to her salvation. Just by looking off, she could practically see her boy filled future.
***Fantasy***
“Happy Birthday, Mabel. He’s from me.” Mabel didn’t know what was better; having a buff dude with blue hair and a red jacket having his arm wrapped around hers, or getting the present of a buff dude with blonde hair, and exposed legs and arms. With her eyes sparkling as much as they were, the eager girl had to ask them what she wanted the most, “Woah, hey! Can I have you both?!” And naturally the guys laughed and said, “Sure!” Then, they started to dance, showing off their moves to Mabel, who looked right at the camera and proudly proclaimed, “I’d buy that for a dollar!”
***End Fantasy***
At that moment, Mabel was sure of two things, as she whispered to herself, “Everything will be different soon….and I really need to stop watching Grunkel Stan’s movies.”
