“What should we do?” asks Blendin.
“Guys…do you hear that?” asks Mabel. “Chugga-chugga CHOO-CHOO! It’s the sound of the great train robbery train coming into the station! Let’s mount up some steeds, grab our six-shooters, and rob this iron horse! Bang-bang!”
“Hopefully we can find the Time Pirate who has the key!” agrees Dipper.
They high-five and head toward Loco Motive’s Gun, Pony, and Bandana Store, next to the saloon.
“I dunno,” says Blendin. “Train robberies aren’t like what you see in the movies. Not to mention we’d be committing a crime on the turf of the legendary Calamity Brothers! Honestly, I think we’d be better off just impersonating passengers and sneaking aboard. That way, if we don’t find the key, we can still slip away quietly without becoming fugitives for the rest of our time lives!”
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” groans Mabel. “If people like you ran the world, we would have gone to the moon in hot air balloons instead of rockets.”
“In the future, that’s the only way we travel to the moon,” says Blendin, confused.
“Let’s put it to a vote!” says Mabel. She draws a line in the sand with a stick. “All in favor of doing it the fun way, stand on my side! All in favor of doing it the boring way, stand on Blendin’s side.”
Both Blendin and Mabel stare at Dipper.
Dipper looks at Loco Motive’s, to his right. Across the street is Granny Huggins’s Present-Timey Costume Shop.
Which plan should Dipper choose?
