Cap-4

Marshall, observing the children causing a ruckus outside the shop, approached the eccentric country store owner with a mischievous smile and casually commented, "Hey, buddy, looks like there's a show happening in your backyard."

The hillbilly, noticing the kids, became agitated. With a piercing scream, he bolted after them, waving his arms and hurling curses into the air. "Get back here, you pesky rascals!" he bellowed as he ran.

The exaggerated reaction caused the children to sprint away. Seizing the chaos, Marshall silently approached the shop and grabbed the guitar case he desired. With a smirk, he left a generous sum of around 200 dollars on the counter, thanking the store for the "unforgettable experience."

Without looking back, Marshall left the store, feeling satisfied with his new "musical accessory."

Leaving the shop with his new musical treasure, Marshall decided to take a stroll through Gravity Falls' central square. He found a bench and, with a mischievous look, began playing some tunes on his guitar, attracting the attention of passersby.

The notes hung in the air, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. People stopped to listen, some even dancing to the rhythm of the music. Marshall, always playful, interacted with the crowd, cracking jokes between songs.

However, his performance was abruptly interrupted when a familiar shadow approached. It was Wendy, who had snuck up unnoticed. She watched Marshall with a playful smile.

"Wow, is that real music?" Wendy teased, amused.

Marshall, in his sarcastic manner, replied, "Of course, only the most refined ears can appreciate it!"

With a smile, Marshall, excited about the idea, decided to invite Wendy for an afternoon filled with fun at the Mystery Shack.

"Hey, Wendy, I think we're in for a pretty entertaining surprise at the Mystery Shack. I bet old man Stan is about to hire two new employees... for free!" Marshall teased, winking.

Wendy chuckled at the prospect. "I've got to see this! You always have a plan to stir things up, don't you?"

"Of course, it's my specialty," replied Marshall with a playful grin. "Let's go, maybe we can have some fun at Stan's expense. It'll be a show!"

The two headed towards the Mystery Shack, with Marshall chattering away about his predictions for what would happen there. He couldn't resist embellishing his words with sarcasm and jokes, keeping Wendy entertained along the way.

Upon arrival, Marshall theatrically opened the door to the Shack, inviting Wendy to enter first. "Step right in, my dear friend, the show is about to begin! Get ready for a memorable afternoon."
