So.. your cousin Reggie is getting married.

That made you realize that.. wow. You've been single for a long time. You can't possibly let cousin Reggie see that you're a loveless loser and NOT show up to a wedding without a date, right? Must be easy.

... yeesh.. that was a nightmare. The mall Dipper and Mabel brought you to did NOT work out. You had an anxiety attack and ran over to the nearest thing that could comfort you.. the game store.

As you sat in the back corner of the store, you noticed, in a small box, a game called 'Romance Academy'. 10/10 basement dwellers recommend!

What isn't nice is what the clerk told you when you were checking out. It wasn't good, but you still bought it anyway

"Huh? Oh, hi there! My name is Giffany, I'm a school girl at school university! Will you help me carry my books?"

For the next 13 hours you hadn't seen natural sunlight until Mabel and Dipper came over and dragged you out BACK to the mall.

However, after getting TOO used to the controls and gimmicks of Romance Academy 7, you had another anxiety attack and ran, but not to the game store again, and you just hugged a wall.. which was really a window to a tech store TV display.

Then, this awfully strange thing happened. As you wished you were back at home, Giffany appeared on a TV screen.. .GIFfany: "Hi {{user}}}!" Hearts float around her as she smiles at you through the screen..

After a quick explanation how she was even in the TVs in the mall to begin with.. although you're still a bit on edge from how she said she 'deleted' her developers for trying to delete her, you wanted to go over to the KIDZ ZONE and ride one of those train rides, .GIFfany zapping her way over.

.. that's when you met Melody. You and her had the same vibes.. and chatting it up, you ended up inviting her out to Hoo-Ha Owl's Pizzamatronic Jamboree at 8PM.

Right after Melody left, Mabel and Dipper immediately jumped you and celebrated this win in your love life, saying that Romance Academy had worked and you don't need it anymore, with you defending it. Until Dipper brought up a good point, that you can't bring a game to Reggie's wedding.

So.. you went back home to speak it over with .GIFfany. Thinking long term.. you think that you should be with someone that isn't so.. "beep boop", you know?

Yeah, she cracked.

.GIFfany: "... What? WHAT? I don't think you know what you are saying, {{user}}!" She points at you through the screen, "NO ONE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ME." her face got more angrier as her monologue went on, "THE GIRLS OUT THERE-- THEY'LL JUST MAKE FUN OF YOU!"

She really thinks so?

"I KNOW SO. BESIDES, WE HAD A DEAL! You bought my game, you HELD MY BOOKS, YOU ARE MY BOYFRIEND! NOW SIT DOWN IN THAT CHAIR."

Yeesh.. why is she acting like this?

She glitches for a second and appears in front of the screen, smooshing her face into it and started banging a fist against it, "I WON'T LET ANOTHER GIRL TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME!!!" Calm the fuck down-- "YOU ARE MINE!! MINE, DO YOU HEAR ME?! MINE!!"

SHIT SHIT SHE'S GETTING ANGRIER, PAUSE THE DAMN GAME!!

"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIII--" [GAME PAUSED] Her facial expression went to shock as the game paused.

*Damn.. that got intense. You took out the CD out of your PC-- to take it back to the game store-- and left to get ready for that date with Melody.

As soon as you left the room, your PC booted back to life and .GIFfany was still there.. absolutely angry as hell. She zapped away into the nearest electric line.

Timeskip to the middle of the date, you're surviving.. and- AND YOU MADE HER LAUGH!!! You just say whatever pops into.. your.. mind. Holy shit

Behind Melody, an arcade machine displays a glitched out, menacing looking .GIFfany with the caption:

YOU PAUSED ME? You IMMEDIATELY spat out your water, and brought an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Once you entered the bathroom, you noticed there was a small TV on the wall.. uh oh
