He was only going to give me ten cookies.
...Seriously? But you're so good at everything.

Hey, Ken appreciates my sense of humor! He probably thinks I'm hilarious!
Well yeah obviously! And he thinks you smell good.
Yeah but he likes it on you. He sniffed you!
Ha. Yeah, well. When you're in a team where everyone else is just as good at everything, that stops meaning as much.
Everyone else had their specialty, something they could do better than anyone else. And then there was me. My specialty, as far as the rest of them were concerned, was being dead weight.

What changed? Did you unlock some kind of secret power or something?
[Mabel was on the fence about this-- maybe this was just a guy thing. Maybe the hair sniffing was just something Gideon did! But, no. No.]
Uh huuuh. So! Did you or Kaneda ever figure out anything else about Ken's boyfriend? Or did Ken tell you anything when he was over the other night?

[Dipper starts looking kind of frowny.]
He didn't tell me about his boyfriend for a reason. I can't just ask him about it out of the blue.

[Internally some big red signs go off in Mabel's head. Make the match! Make the match. MAKE THE MATCH]
--I could! I could ask him, be super casual and swap boyfriend stories. I bet he hasn't told you because their relationship is going through a rough patch and maybe he wants to end it quietly!

Honestly? I found a different team. Somewhere it was about supporting each other, not tearing each other down to be the best.
You already have people in your life who want to see you succeed. Me included. Yeah, you might get ribbed a little while you figure things out, but all of us want to see you pull through. So don't worry too much about being the rookie every now and again, and remember you don't need to do any of this alone.
... and don't do anything Caboose tells you to do. That's key too.

Mabel, no! You don't even have a boyfriend! All you can tell him about is the thing with the gnomes and Mermando stories.
[Speaking of...]
Maybe avoid talking about mermaids. He got kind of weird about it.

I can tell him horror stories! Like the stuff with Gideon and Gabe and the guy from the ten dollar bill.
--wait what kind of weird? Why would he be weird about mermaids?
--wait what kind of weird? Why would he be weird about mermaids?
You're right. I have my family and all my friends. There's no way we can lose.
Me and Mabel together can do anything.
...Also, can you check if Caboose actually doesn't know my name or if he's just messing with me?

I told him about how we rescued Mermando and he got all like, red and kind of upset for some reason? Maybe he's been punched by a mermaid or something.
How we rescued Mermando? [That makes no sense.] You mean the golf cart and the cooler and the lake and the......
--was Ken mad about the reverse CPR?!
--was Ken mad about the reverse CPR?!
Ugh, thanks for reminding me. Why would he be mad about that?
[MAKE THE MATCH MAKE THE MATCH MAKE THE MATCH]
Because, Dipper! Ken--
[Wait. Wait. Being too hasty might ruin this match. Or, even worse, break Dipper's heart. Before anything else she has to figure out if Ken's boyfriend is even still in the picture. First you get confirmation that he's single, then you get the perfect boyfriend for the brobro.]
...probably really didn't like hearing a story where you ended up embarrassed! Ha, yeah. That was it.

[That was a long pause. Dipper squints at Mabel in suspicion.]
He didn't seem to care about that before. He's the one that told me I smelled like tacos.

[She is radiating innocence.]
Because you smelled like tacos. It was the best thing to do! He saved you from further embarrassment.
