It was raining heavily that night, so Dipper and Mabel were inside their room playing "Battleship." The roof was a bit leaky, so there was an empty turtle shell that was catching the raindrops sitting on the floor a few feet away from them.
Dipper examined his map at all the hits and misses that he had guessed for Mabel's ships.
"I'm gonna say...B5" he said.
"Miss!" said Mabel cheerfully, sticking a peg onto her board. However, she did not stick it onto B5, instead putting it right in the center of the picture of a cat that she had made with her pegs. She had not been placing them in the correct order, for she was not really interested in playing the way that you were supposed to.
"Whop!"
"I don't think you're playing this right" said Dipper. He sighed. "I wish (y/n) were here. She would know how to play."
"Kids!" Stan suddenly yelled from downstairs. "Come quick!"
Dipper and Mabel ran down the stairs, and they found Stan sitting on the couch in front of the TV. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
"I need you to laugh at this with me!" he said, gesturing towards the TV.
They turned towards the TV to see a Gideon ad playing on it. On the TV, Gideon was strumming a guitar and singing a really cheesy song:
"Who's cute as a button
And always your friend?
Little G-I-D-
To the E-O-N!
Wink!"
"Little Gideon" said the TV.
Dipper groaned in disgust.
"Ugh. Gideon."
"Remember when I wouldn't date him and he tried to destroy us?" said Mabel.
"He's always trying to trick me into losing the Mystery Shack" said Stan.
Wendy walked up to them, and leaned against the couch.
"One time, I caught him stealing my moisturizer" she added.
Soos made his way up to them as well.
"And yet our mutual hatred for him bonds us together" he said.
No one could disagree with that.
They then turned back to the TV.
"Now partnering with wealthy upperclassman, Nathaniel Northwest V."
Suddenly, Nathaniel's face appeared on the screen of the TV, smiling his usual smug grin.
"I'm proud to be sponsoring Gideon's Tent of Telepathy" said Nathaniel.
"Ugh. As if I thought that this ad could get any worse" said Mabel. "I'm surprised he hasn't, like, confessed his love for (y/n) or something."
"So come on down to the Tent of Telepathy, opening soon at this location!"
The Mystery Shack suddenly appeared on the screen, and the Tent of Telepathy fell on top of it on the TV, replacing the Mystery Shack entirely.
Dipper turned worriedly towards his uncle.
"Uh, should we be worried about that?"
"Please" said Stan confidently. "The only way Gideon can take over the shack is by breaking in and stealing my deed."
