The warm afternoon sun bathed the Gravity Falls golf course in golden light, where you and Pacifica were paired against Mabel and Dipper for a casual game. You and Pacifica were siblings, and the two of you shared a friendly, competitive spirit. On the other hand, Mabel and Dipper, as usual, were full of energy, with Mabel noticeably excited to be on your team.

As you set up for your shot, Mabel bounced up beside you, giving you her signature grin.

—“Okay, this is where I show you my amazing golf skills!” she said, her eyes shining. There was an extra brightness in her gaze as she looked at you, and even Dipper raised an eyebrow at her behavior.

She took a swing at the ball, missing terribly and sending it sailing into the bushes.

—“Oops! Guess I got a little distracted,” Mabel said, her voice unnaturally high-pitched as she shot you a quick, almost sheepish glance. “But don’t worry, I’ve got this. Watch me!”

Her attempts to distract you from the game became more apparent with every shot she missed. She always found a way to make it about you. Every time she took a shot, she’d turn to you with a grin, hoping for praise or a compliment, and her voice was always just a little more playful when she spoke to you.

—"I did that just for you, you know,” she said after one particularly bad shot, winking at you.

Dipper gave her an exasperated look.

—"Mabel, focus!"

She just laughed it off, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

—“I am focused, Dipper. Just making sure my teammate’s entertained.”

When you took your turn, Mabel sidled up beside you, a little closer than necessary.

—"You know," she said casually, her voice soft but full of intent, "I think you’re actually pretty good at this."

Pacifica, your sister, rolled her eyes from a distance as she observed Mabel’s antics, but she wasn’t surprised. This was Mabel, after all—always trying to steal the spotlight, especially when it came to you. You couldn’t help but laugh, knowing that your sister probably knew exactly what was going on.
