The Story:

Pre-Halloween; Movie Theater

[ Leading up to Halloween, Henry decides to take Dipper up on hosting a marathon of Ghost Harrasses, both because it sounds incredible, and because people can come and go as they please and it's more casual. The breaks can be more frequent in between episodes and it's not so much scary as it is fun to watch. There are ghost shaped sugar cookies for everyone to enjoy and beanbag chairs spread out for casual viewing. He's also super into it - it's so ridiculous that he loves it. Best 'reality' show ever. ]

Cafe

[ Henry can be found a lot of the time hanging out at his wife's cafe. Sometimes he's behind the counter and sometimes he's at a table, but he always looks open for conversation. If he's sitting, he looks up from whatever he's reading with a friendly smile, and if he's behind the counter it's a smile as he asks what he can get for you. Some days you can catch him reading Folklores and Fairy Tales - stories from around the world, and also writing notes. The sharp-eyed may see that he's even made a few rough sketches. ]

Diner

[ A lot of his time is spent in the diner, at least once a day really, and he typically has a burger, fries, and a milkshake. Sometimes he gets a grilled cheese in honor of Emma. There are days he has his book with him but this one has blank pages at the end, and he's using a specific pen to write with. The words seem to flow effortlessly from pen to paper as if by...magic. Still, he sits in a booth with plenty of space across from him and when he's not in the writing zone, he's once again looking up with that welcoming smile. ]

Movie Theater: Redux

[ Minus the days of the event, every night for the rest of the month Henry shows a scary movie but not really scary. The first night is Hocus Pocus and some others are:

The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Addams Family

Ghostbusters

Beetlejuice

Gremlins

On Halloween night, with a warning that the movies are scarier in honor of the actual holiday, he shows the Polgergiest movies. There is all the standard movie theater fare to eat and it's decorated just before you walk into the theater proper with orange and white Halloween lights, carved pumpkins, scarecrows sitting on hay, and a bowl of candy with a hand inside that pops up every time you reach in to grab a piece.

All in all, he's proud of what he's done, that he's figured out different ways to take care of people in Wonderland, to take care of his family, and make the people who care about him proud. ]

So, if you had that power, how would you use it? I'm really, really curious now.

[ She has his full attention and he knows, for sure, he's about to be surprised. Mabel has a way of doing that. ]

[Mabel shoves a handful of popcorn in her mouth and without missing a beat, confidently mumbles through it:] I'd turn into Grunkle Stan and give money to charity.

[henrydaniel]

[ Henry laughs, loudly, totally interrupting the movie and getting a 'shhhhhhh' in response, but it was worth it. ]

That is somehow what I expected, and a total surprise at the same time.

That's the Mabel difference. [She leans against his shoulder.] I've probably thanked you for this, like, a lot, but it's still important. Thanks for wanting to keep hanging out with me even though you're all adult-y now. It's given me a lot to think about for my future. Hopefully, I remember it when I go home, but I'll work on that.
