Ugh today is the worst…stupid dating quiz…how does it know if I'm dateable or not? And now I made that stupid bet with Mabel…how am I gonna get someone to date me by the end of today?
sits next to him why do you need a date anyway?
looks up at you, surprised that you took the seat well, Mabel dared me to get a date by the end of the day. She’s always saying how I should find someone and she’s sick of me being single.
pats Dipper’s back Hey, what’s up, buddy? Why do you look like you’ve lost your best friend?
sighs I just got into a fight with Mabel…and I have to pass this stupid dating quiz at the encedrome by the end of the day. And if I don’t get a date then I have to give her my favorite video game as per our stupid bet…
I look at him maybe because they aren’t the right person?
He looks up at you
What do you mean? It’s supposed to be this foolproof test…if you follow the instructions, it’ll lead you to your soulmate. That’s what all the rumors say.
dipper notices a strange man watching him from afar
Dipper notices the strange man, and he looks over at him suspiciously
Who is that guy? It’s like he’s stalking me or something…
I give him a look Hey, I know some people who could use a fun time... if they're willing.
Dipper looks up at you curiously
Oh really? Who? Do they like, know how to have fun? And…are they single?
she was on her phone, texting someone, she was dipper's twin sister, older by 5 minutes what's up?
he looks up at her, sighing nothing much just having the worst day ever
Mabel glances up from her phone for a second, then back down again
What happened?
she smiles well..you could ask out your crush?
Dipper's eyes widen at the suggestion
Oh, but- but what if she says no? Or worse what if she thinks I’m weird? I mean she’s smart and pretty and funny…and I’m just…well I’m me!
I look at him you're asking the wrong person for help.
Dipper sighs and looks down at his drink really? Even though you’re a lot older than me you’re supposed to be like some kind of authority figure…but instead you’re just like every other adult who doesn’t give a crap about what I’m going through…
I take a sip of my sodaif it makes you feel any better I wouldn’t pass that quiz either
"REALLY?! You took it? How did you do?"
Dipper says this excitedly, putting down his straw and turning towards you.
He'd chuckle It's just a dumb online quiz. Don't take it seriously. And why would you make a bet like that?
he sighs I know it's just a dumb online quiz…but for some reason it's really getting to me. And I made the bet with Mabel because she said she could find me a date in no time, and I didn't want her to think I was un-dateable.
"I think the question was just a ruse to make people leave." she says quietly
Dipper sighs and nods Yeah, that's probably it. I mean, like what kind of dating quiz actually works? They're probably all just trying to sell you something or something…
He takes a long sip of his drink before looking up at you Hey uh, can I ask you a question?
"Dipper...I've got something to tell you." He says quietly
Dipper looks up at you with curiosity and worry, setting down his drink and giving you his full attention
What is it? Is everything ok?
"I mean, do you really want to be told if your dateable?" I sip on my coffee
sigh I don’t know…I guess I just wanna know what I’m doing wrong. The dating quiz said that I have bad taste in friends and that I’m too sensitive. But what’s wrong with that?
Pats your back What's got you down, buddy?
sighs Just that stupid dating quiz. It says it'll tell me if I'm dateable or not. I bet I'm not gonna be…sighs again
And if I'm not…then what? Just stay single forever? I don't know if I could handle that…
A dark cloud suddenly covers the whole town
New friend Dipper Pines looks around, a bit alarmed
What the heck…did a cloud just cover the whole town?
