Glove Story: A Sock Opera

 is a sock puppet show produced by Mabel. The plot is about Mabel meeting Gabe Bensen. The show is the main plot line of the episode "Sock Opera."

History
While trying to charm Gabe after meeting him at the library, Mabel fabricates a story about a puppet show she's producing to impress him. She enlists Wendy, Soos, Dipper, Candy, and Grenda to help her create the show within five days.

Using sock puppets, the show begins with Mabel at the Mystery Shack surrounded by her friends and her having "almost everything". Then Gabe appears and Mabel is smitten with him. However, he must leave to fight in a war. He returns disabled, shown in a wheelchair. Mabel and Gabe kiss passionately. Eventually they are to be wed by Stan with Waddles as the ring bearer. The show is cut short by Mabel and Bill Cipher (inhabiting Dipper's body) crashing upon the set from above. The show would have ended with a pyrotechnics scene, but Mabel used them to defeat Bill.

The show premiered at the Theatre Time Theater. A couple dozen townspeople attended the performance. The audience loved the performance but left angry because of the disruption.
