~~~~~~~~~Your POV~~~~~~~~~

There weren't any costumers for the time being, so Stan let us all say in the living room watching tv. Unfortunately, we didn't get to choose the channel, and he basically forced us to see his favorite show, Cash Wheel.

It's basically one of those reality shows where you earn money by answering questions.

Those things have always bored me, being honest.

"Ladies and gentleman, we now return to Cash Wheel!!! Sponsored by Chipackers: The chip flavored crackers!"

"They taste just like chips!" Mabel hugged her pack before eating one of the chipackers.

The first competitor spun the wheel, landing on a green slot. "Congratulations, you're taking a-"

"Cash Shower!!!" Stan said in synch with the host.

The first guy began to collect all their money, when the others started stealing a few dollars. He then began throwing punches, which only made Stan laugh. "I like that guy's style!"

"I wonder why." I heard Dipper chuckle at my joke.

It was then that Soos came running inside. "Mr. Pines, we got tourists at nine o'clock!!! A whole busload of'm!!!"

We all ran to the gift shop, Stan now wearing his usual tux as he stared at the window with a smile. "Hot tamales, it's a jackpot!!! Soos, make some new attractions!!!"

"You got it, boss!" He glued a wolf head to a chicken's body, which honestly gave me nightmares.

Stan then looked over at Wendy, who was over by the shelves. "Wendy, mark up those prices!!! The higher the better!!!"

She rolled her eyes, changing the price tag from 2 to 20, but Stan wasn't pacified. "Higher!!!" She wrote another zero, making it 200. "Bleed them dry!!!"

"Yeesh, dude." I crossed my arms, Dipper walking over to stand beside me.

"Yeah, Grunkle Stan, it's like when you look at tourist all you see are wallets with legs!"

"That's not true." He looked out the window, and I didn't even want to begin to imagine what he was thinking of.

I let out a sigh. "Some people never change." Dipper and I laughed a bit before I noticed Stan rubbing his eyes in realization.

"Clean up on the front lawn!" Dipper sighed in defeat, grabbing a nearby bucket and mop. Eesh, I felt sorry for him, I personality can't see vomit, or else I vomit. What a way to start the day, huh?

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

He started giving tours. I had been assigned to keep an eye on the shelves, making sure everything was nice and tidy, and that no punk kid would break something; that sort of stuff. However, even though I had brought Aiden along with me, I was starting to get bored. I hadn't seen Dipper in a while, which was worrying on it's own.

Eh, I'm not the kid's mom, why worry.

"Ladies and gentle tourists, looking around my Mystery Shack you'll see many wondrous roadsides attractions!" Stan narrated as he guided the group around the room. "Be amazed at the only known photo of a horse riding another horse!! That's... that's pretty good."

I had to cover my mouth to resist the urge to laugh. Even if I've worked at the shack for years now, I still can't believe people actually believe this crap! The tourists all took pictures of this seriously messed up picture before following Stan over to a small stage.

"Be astonished by the horrible preteen wolf boy!!!" Behind the curtains stood Dipper and holy hell.

I.

Was.

Shocked.

He wore a pretty revealing wolf costume, with the ears and tail, but no shirt. I wouldn't have cared about bringing attention to myself by bursting into a fat of laughter, if it weren't for the fact that I kinda liked it.

I mean, I was probably never gonna see him shirtless again, and although he's not the most muscular guy, he's definitely handsome.

He looked over at me, his eyes clearly screaming 'Help me' as Stan spoke. "Oh, oh look at him!!! All that hair!!! His body's changing, ah!!!"

Dipper took off the fake fangs, rubbing his arm. "Grunkle Stan, is this demeaning."

"What? I don't know... da meaning of that word!!" Stan and the tourists laughed at his awful pun. "If you throw money at him, he dances!"

As told, they began to throw money at Dipper, and he did his best to do the most awkward dance I had ever seen! Before guilt could build up inside me, I quickly went to the gift shop, seeing Mabel behind the counter.

"Behold: Mystery Shack bumper stickers!!! You can stick them on your bumper, or over your husband's mouth, am I right, ladies?!? She's knows what I'm talking about~!!!"

The woman in front of the counter laughed. "You are bad! How much?"

"Hey, it's on the house. That's the Mabel difference!" She gave the woman the bumper sticker, waving goodbyes she left. "Thanks for visiting!"

"What?!?" I was startled when Stan's voice boomed throughout the room, stepping out from behind a Stan cutout. "What the heck do you think your doing?!?"

"Business!!! Ching-ching-ching!!!"

Stan walked over to her with an angry expression. "Listen, kid, you don't make money by giving stuff away! You're off register duty!"

"But- but-!!!"

"No butts except yours out the door!! Now shut your yap and get to work!! (y/n), take over register duty!!"

I flinched a bit before looking at Mabel with an apologetic look, I hated being a part of their family arguments.

She, however, only glared back at him. "Grunkle Stan, what ever happened to Please and Thank You?!? Hm?!? Oh wait! Here they are!!!" She stuck two stickers with the words Please and Thank You on Stan's face. "Bwap bwap!"

I had to hold in my laugh as Stan took off the stickers. "Look, please never made me any money, kid. In fact, just saying the word is giving me a burning sensation!"

That's when Dipper walked into the room, taking off his wolf ears. "Grunkle Stan, why do I have to wear this wolf costume? I think I'm getting hookworm!"

"Hehe, yeah, glueing dog hair to your body will do that!"

"You have all these dumb exhibits in the shack, meanwhile we've seen actual amazing things in the forest every day! What if you haunted down a real attraction instead of lying to people for a living!"

"And you should be nicer to your employees too!!" The twins high fived each other before smiling in determination at their great uncle.

Stan only sighed. "Look, you guys got a problem with how I run the shack take it up with the complaints department." Not to my surprise, he pulled up the trash can. "Zing!!"

"I'm gonna write them such a letter!" I don't think Mabel understood Stan's joke.

It had only been an hour since then when Stan had ordered us to paint glitter onto the shack sign. Except, of course, Stan was still on the ground. "And don't stop 'till you've covered that sign with glitter, glittery signs attract tourists!!! Also large birds."

As if on cue, a bird flew by and attacked Soos, causing Stan to laugh before walking away. "That's funny."

Dipper groaned in annoyance. "Okay, is it just me or is having Grunkle Stan as a boss seriously the worst?"

"I know, right? Why do we always put up with it?" Wendy continued as she wiped away some sweat.

Soos sighed in defeat. "I tried to give him a suggestion to improve the shack once. *takes out a paper* I had this idea where I could be like the Mystery Shack mascot, Questiony The Question Mark! I ask people questions, you know, do the question dance."

"That sounds amazing!!!"

"Yeah well, Stan said I couldn't handle it..."

They all gasped, but if I had to be honest, Stan had a point. "I dunno, guys. I've worked here since I was seven, and although things might sometimes seem really off, he always does them for good reason."

"Still, Soos deserves to follow his dreams, we all deserve a better boss!!"

"Yeah!!"

After we cleaned ourselves, Stan sent me to clean the counter. I noticed Mabel went to his office, and after a while, Dipper and I went outside to ... say goodbye to Stan?

"And careful with the jar, it's glass!" He yelled out to Mabel as he closed his car trunk.

"Will do!"

"See you in seventy two hours! We'll see who makes more money." He threw his fez hat over, which landed on Mabel's head as he laughed before driving away.

Dipper looked at his sister. "Mabel, did you just make a bet with a professional conman?"

"Oh come on, being a better boss than Stan will be cinch! Profit, here we come!!!"

She let the jar fall, and after seconds of silence, I spoke. "You broke the jar-"

"We'll get a new one."

"I guess I shouldn't be too worried. I mean, how much money can Stan even make on vacation?" Dipper shrugged with a small confident smile, but I for one had known Stan long enough that he can earn money anywhere in any possible solution.

After that I went to restock, we had been getting a lot of costumers lately. Mabel then called all of the employees into Stan's office.

"You wanted to see us Mr. Pines?"

At Soos's words, Mabel turned around in her seat to face us, wearing glasses, a really big business jacket, and shoulder pads? "Stan is no longer with us."

"He's dead?!? No!!!" We all were startled a bit when Soos fell to the ground in tears. "It should've been me!!!"

"Woah, Soos, Stan's not dead! He's on vacation for three days! We made a bet!"

He looked up, soon standing up as he fixed his hat. "Thank you for that clarification."

"Mabel's in charge now!!!"

I couldn't take it anymore, the question was bothering me too much. "Are those shoulder pads?"

"Uh huh~!! It's just one of the many up to date managerial tricks I learned from this book I found popping up the kitchen table!!!" She took a sip of her coffee.

Dipper then pointed at her mug. "Why does your mug say #2?"

"Because the real number one.." She pulled out a mirror. "Is you."

Aiden peeked out of my bag, posing as he stared at himself, making me laugh as the others looked at themselves.

"Walk with me." She got off her seat and led us to a chalk board. "With me as boss you're gonna notice a few things around here. My job is to help you be your best S.E.L.V.E.S. Satisfied, Everyday, Loving life, Very much, Everyday, Satisfied! Great listening ears so far!!!"

She put stickers on all of us, with mine being on my cheek. Though as soon as I pulled it off, Aiden quickly ate it. Jeez he can eat anything.

"Waddles, hold my call!" As says, Waddles began chewing on her phone.

Once we entered the gift shop, Mabel sat down at a chair. "All right, people, now rap with me. Wendy, how can I make your work space more Wendy friendly?"

Wendy brought a finger to her chin, thinking for a few seconds. "Hmm, well, Stan never lets me hang out with friends at work."

"Stan ain't here, sister! Door's open!"

"Sweet!" Almost immediately, Wendy ran out of the gift shop, dialing her friend's number.

"And Soos." Mabel took out a strangely shaped costume. "I believe this is yours!"

Soos's smile spread across his face, taking the costume. "Questiony The Question Mark?!? I wish this was an exclamation point to show how excited I am!!!"

Mabel then pulled out the wolf costume Dipper was wearing before. "As for you, Dipper." His expression grew afraid as I did my best to hold in my laughter. However, she threw it into a shredder. "Die, wolf costume, DIE!!!"

Dang it!

"I want you to head into those woods and don't come back until you've found an amazing attraction!!!"

"Finally!!! Time to show Stan how a real mystery hunter does it!" He grabbed a flail and climbed on the window. "Dipper out!!!"

Of course, Dipper being Dipper fell off of it. 

Mabel then turned to me. "What about you, (y/n)? What do you want?"

I shrugged. "Nothing, if I'm being honest."

"Wha- Are you sure? There has to be something you want!"

That's when Aiden peeked out of my bag with a squeak of excitement. I let out a small laugh. "Well, Stan doesn't like when Aiden roams free here."

"Stan's nowhere near, be free, little beaver!!!"

"I- I dunno-" Before I could finish my sentence, Aiden hopped out of my bag, running around the place.

My mother instincts didn't really like that idea, but he seemed so happy so I let him go.

I continued to clean what needed to be cleaned, and soon after, I joined Mabel outside who waved at a group of customers. "Thank you! Oho, see you soon! Tell Mabel sent you!"

Her smile grew as she turned to me. "(y/n), look how much money we have so far!!!"

"Nice!!"

"Girls, I captured something!!!" We both turned to see Dipper dragging a large bag over. "This is gonna blow those tourists away!!"

I backed away as whatever was in there bit Dipper's arm. "I'm scared to ask what's in there."

"Marvelous work, valued employee!!!" She then let out a gasp, looking at a portlier potty. "Who's that~?!? Is it Questiony The Question Mark?!?"

Soos's head peeked out from behind, his expression one of embarrassment. "Uh, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this, Mabel.. I keep forgetting my lines and this costume is more uh.." He walked over to view, letting us see the costume. "Revealing than I expected..?"

"Soos, don't give up!!! Anything is possible when you..." She pulled out a book, opening it at a certain page. "Imaginize it...!!!"

"But I don't know what that means!!!"

Mabel pressed a finger against his mouth. "Shh!!! Shhhhhhhhhhh!!!" She then walked back to us. "Believe in yourself......!!!"

"But- but I-!!!" Soos then shivered, hugging himself. "So... So cold..."

I was starting to see why Stan told Soos not wear it..

Mabel had asked me to help with a few things before heading to the gift shop, seeing Wendy's friends around the place. "How's my favorite Wendy?!"

My eyes widened as something was thrown in our direction, forcing Mabel to duck before it could hit us, hearing Wendy's voice. "Yeah, keep in going!!!"

The place was a complete mess! Everything was out of place with food and soda covering everything!

I then heard a familiar squeak, making me grow pale. My head turned to see Lee, one of Wendy's friends, kick a strange head and- Aiden was on!!

He held on tightly for dear life as he squeaked in fear, the head crashing into a little boy's face as Aiden hopped onto his head, the boy starting to crew as Mabel and I ran over.

I stretched my arms, Aiden jumping into them as he trembled. "It's okay, buddy.. You're okay.."

"Billy, your face!!! It's ruined!!!" A woman, who I assumed to be the boy's mother, ran over to her kid.

Feeling guilty, Mabel offered her a dollar from the profit jar. "I'm so sorry, please, have a refund."

However, her expression fell when the woman didn't just take the dollar she offered, taking more from the jar and leaving us with a lot less money before leaving.

She then took a deep breath, walking over to Wendy as I tried to comfort Aiden. "Wendy, you have a lot of cleaning up to do! Please..?!"

"Woah, all this rule stuff's starting to make you sound like Stan."

"What?!? No, I'm nothing like Stan!!! In fact, ... take the rest of the day off...?!"

" ... With full pay?"

"Of course!" She let out an awkward chuckle, and Wendy gave her two thumbs up before running out with her friends. "Mabel Pines, you are the best boss ever!"

I knew Wendy could be a little rude, but I never considered her to be so manipulative!!

Opening my bag, I let Aiden hop into his safe place. "Mabel, listen, I know you're not big on rules, but maybe it's time we-"

"No! This place is perfectly fine! I can- I can clean it!" She forced a smile on her face.

I let out a sigh. "Alright, but at least let me help you deal with it."

We spend an hour trying to clean the place, and it wasn't easy with all the customers we had, plus the kids that were brought in.

Mabel and I ran around the gift shop as we tried to keep everything clean, helping as many people as we could. Eventually, there were no customers at the gift shop, allowing the both of us to slouch down against the counter.

Dipper walked inside, sitting beside me with a heavy sigh. "Well, I just made two people go insane. How about you guys?"

"I'm so tired... I gave Wendy the day off so I heard to do her job, and gift shop rush hour isn't a job for two..."

"Listen, Mabel, maybe you need to start being a little tougher around here." Dipper said as he turned to her, but she quickly shook her head.

"No way, that's what Stan would do! I just need to think positive, be friendly, and everything will work out fine!"

Just then, the creature that Dipper had captured earlier, known as a Gremloblin, came bursting through the wall! Everyone started running out screaming while the twins and I quickly hid behind the counter.

Dipper's face was pure panic as he turned to us. "What?!? How did he get out of his locked cage?!?"

"Well.........." Mabel fiddled with her fingers nervously. "I kinda gave him a break..."

"YOU GAVE HIM A BREAK?!?" Dipper and I yelled in synch.

"He's an employee!!! Sort of..!"

I took a deep breath, calming myself down. "We gotta round'm up! Where's Soos?!"

"He was stressed out so I told him to take a soothing nature walk!"

We peeked to see the beast destroying everything in sight, noticing the tv was still on and working, in the most convenient channel.

"Ladies and gentleman, Stan Pines is poised to become our grand champion! Anything to say to your fans out there?"

Stan looked at the camera, pointing. "See you tomorrow night, Mabel!!!"

Then the Gremloblin threw something at the door, blocking it as it roared loudly. I looked at the twins, nodding for them too follow as we head behind the broken living room wall.

Mabel let out a gasp. "What are we gonna do?!? He's awarding himself stickers that he didn't even earn!!!"

"Pinetree, isn't there something in your journal about how to stop that thing?!"

At my question, he pulled out his journal, searching through the pages. "Got it!!! 'When fighting a Gremloblin use water-'"

Before he could finish, Mabel had already thrown a bucket of water to the beast, Dipper continuing to read. "'Only as a last resort as water will make him much much scarier?!?'"

"Who writes sentences like that?!?"

The Gremloblin grew even bigger that it already was, spikes growing out of his back as it let out a roar, spitting fire at the ringing cuckoo clock.

Dipper then gave us an awkward smile. "Don't worry, he's gotta leave eventually!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm the Singin' Salmon spendin' all day jammin'!"

"I'm the Singin' Salmon spendin' all day jammin'!"

"I'm the Singin' Salmon spendin' all day jammin'!"

We were hiding in the same spot, simply listening as we heard the Gremloblin replaying the same stupid fish thing's song.

Mabel gripped her head. "Ugh, why doesn't he just leave?!?"

Unfortunately, the beast grabbed the jar of profits we had collected, sniffing it before starting to eat the money.

"Our profits!!!" Mabel ran over as Dipper shared a frightened glance, following. "Stop, stop!!!"

The creature picked her up, causing her to let out a scream.

"Don't look into his evil eyes!!! You'll see your worst nightmare!!!" Dipper yelled at his sister.

"I wish we had an evil to show him!!! Oh no!!!" Her eyes grew yellow as she stared at the beast, when an idea popped into my head.

"That's it!" I ran over to the counter, taking a hand mirror. "Hey!!!"

The Gremloblin turned to me, immediately looking at the mirror as his own eyes glowed yellow.

I have no idea what he saw, but it sure as heck scared him, making him let go of Mabel before running out through the wall.

Dipper forced on a smile. "Well, at least he didn't do that much damage..!"

Only to jinx us, the beast grew wings and broke the totem pole, leaving us in a dead quiet room. "Oh boy."

Mabel picked up the timer she had left on the first day. "Guys, it's the third day!!! We've only got seven hours to earn back our profit or I've gotta wear that loser shirt all summer!!!"

That's when Wendy and Soos walked in through the hole in the wall, Wendy speaking. "Hey guys! Am I nuts or is this place different?"

I crossed my arms, still mad at her. "Yeah, the giant hole in the wall does leave a statement."

"Wendy! Soos! Am I glad to see you! We've got a lot of work to do, but if we hurry we can still beat Stan!"

Mabel's expression quickly fell at their replies. "Uh, yeah, I got a little headache so maybe I should like not work today."

"And I actually just met this pack of wolves and I think they're gonna like raise me as one of their own so I should really be at the den right now." Soos added.

"But- but-"

"But hey, we'll see you on Monday." Wendy started to walk out.

Soos then pointed at some popsicles on the ground. "Uh, btdubs, is anyone gonna eat these?" 

I noticed Mabel started to shake as she bares her teeth in anger, feeling Dipper's hand on my shoulder as he pulled me back.

"ENOUGH!!!"

We all gasped at Mabel's sudden outbursts, but that wasn't all of it.

"I'VE HAD IT!!! I FOUGHT A MONSTER TO SAVE THIS BUSINESS AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?!? I'M GONNA GET AN ULCER FROM YOU LOLLYGAGGING!!!"

"Lollygagging?"

"Ulcer?" Soos brought a hand to his chin in thought. "You're acting... different."

"YOU SHUT YOUR YAPS!!! I'VE BEEN DOING EVERYONE'S JOB WHILE YOU BUMS HAVE BEEN BLEEDING ME DRY!!!"

"But I-!"

"NO BUTTS EXCEPT YOURS ON THE FLOOR CLEANING!!! Now quit loafing and GET TO WORK!!!"

"Yes Mabel!"

"That's "Yes boss!!!" The slammed a fist into the desk, Stan's fez hat landing on her head. As it did, she turned to look at herself in the mirror, gasping at the sight. "Guys, what have I become..?!"

"What you had to, Mabel." Dipper placed a hand on his sister's shoulder. "What you had to."

Mabel stared in silence before the same serious expression from before covered her face. "We've got seven hours to turn this around!!! Let's go, people!!!"

We tried our best to fix the shack. Mabel was really taking this seriously, I was honestly proud of her!

After an hour, tourists started to arrive. I could see her yelling at the others outside. "TIME IS MONEY, HARDHEAD!!! YOU'VE GOT COMPLAINS, FILE THEN WITH THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT!!!"

She then placed a hand on her hip. "Ugh, my back.." She saw the bus of people, yelling at Dipper and I. "GUYS, WE GOT TOURISTS AT NINE O'CLOCK!!!"

"But what do I show them?!? Real magic just freaks people out!!!"

"FIGURE SOMETHING OUT, KNUCKLEHEADS!!!"

I thought for a while, getting an idea before dragging Dipper back inside the shack. My plan was pretty simple: dress like Stan, speak like Stan, act like Stan.

Surprisingly enough, it worked!

After they all started leaving, Dipper and I waved our goodbyes. "Remember, we put the fun in no refunds!!!"

Dipper turned to me with a smile. "Awesome idea, (y/n)!"

I ruffled his hair back to its normal messy self, placing his hat back on. "Thanks, PT."

We walked back into the gift shop. "How'd we do?" I asked.

Mabel smiled at us. "We filled the whole jar!!!"

We all cheered before Dipper took all the money, starting to make ur math. "Minus the money to replace all the furniture and the supplies to fix shack that leaves us...."

"One dollar..." Mabel finished with a defeated look.

At that moment, we all looked as the door opened, a smirk spread across his face. "Tick tock, time's up, kids!!!"

"Oh no!!!"

Stan chuckled as he pointed at Dipper. "Nice to see you learned how to dress while I was gone!"

"How much did you beat us by...?" Mabel asked as her head fell down in shame.

"I won $300,000!!! ... And then..."

After Stan explained that he had lost all the money because he couldn't guess the last word which was...
"Please~?!?" Mabel finished my thoughts.

Stan shrugged. "Apparently that word can make you money."

Dipper then brought a hand to his chin in thought. "So wait, if you lost everything then that means- Mabel, you won!"

We all cheered for her, when Soos asked. "Wait, what did we win again?"

"Well, according to our bet I guess Mabel's the new boss." Stan reminded us, which we immediately started denying to, telling him no. "Huh? What?"

Mabel took off the fez hat from her head. "Grunkle Stan, I had no idea how hard it was being boss! This place was cuckoo bananas until I started barking orders at people like you!"

"Yeah well, I gotta admit." Stan put his hat back on before pulling the twins towards him in a hug, smiling. "It's kinda nice to be back, you know."

"Okay okay, that's enough, get off of me!" Stan then turned to face the rest of us. "And Soos, (y/n), Wendy, ... GET TO WORK!!!" After startling us with his old man voice, he cleared his throat. "Please."

Mabel then smiled at me. "(y/n) gets a work free card, she was my right-hand-woman!"

"Sweet!"

That's when Dipper turned to her. "Hey Mabel, didn't your agreement say something about Stan having to do some kind of apology dance if he lost?"

Stan immediately grew pale, shaking his head. "N-n-no, no it didn't!"

"Actually, yeah, I think I have it in my notes here!"

"No!!! That never happened!!!"

"I already got the camera!!" I said as I pulled out my camera from my bag, Stan shooting me a glare.

"Alright, let me just-"

Stan ended up running away with us chasing after as we called out to him. In the end, he couldn't escape his fate and Mabel forced him to dance until she thought it was perfect.

Man, this family's weird.
