"Mabel, will you just stop singing that song?"
Dipper Pines clutched his ears while his sister Mabel jumped onto the kitchen table, belting out a pop song at the top of her lungs.
"So, come on, come on, come out of my miiiiiind," She screamed, kicking her legs in a weird dance and knocking over a carton of milk in the process. "And get in to my hug this tiiiiiimeeee!"
"Mabel, I know that along with your boy-crazy phase came a weird Multiple Misleading obsession," Dipper fussed while trying to clean the spilled milk off of his shirt, "But do you have to sing their songs every second of every day?"
"Come on, Dipper!" The slightly older twin jumped off of the table. "Just admit that you love their music and that you're a Misleader!"
"In your dreams. Or my nightmares."
"Kids, what was that terrible noise?" Their Grunkle Stan walked into the kitchen, wearing nothing but a tank top, underwear, and his fez. "It sounded sort of like a walrus in pain."
"Grunkle Stan, that 'terrible noise' was me singing!" Mabel burst back into Multiple Misleading's latest hit single, Live While We're Teens.
"Well, knock it off." The old man commanded. "This teen music is making me lose my appetite."
Mabel twirled around the gift shop, using a broom as a microphone.
"Girl, you brighten my life like no one can!"
She knocked into a rack of postcards, causing it to clatter to the ground.
"When you twirl your hair, I wanna be your man!"
A couple of tourists walked out of the Mystery Shack, shaking their heads and holding their ears.
Mabel hummed the next line, skipping over the lyrics that she didn't know.
"But you don't know, you don't know you're wonderful! That's what makes you wonder-"
Her voice was muffled by a big, hairy hand.
"Look, kid," Stan said disapprovingly. "Your obsession has gone too far. You're driving away money!"
"Grunkle Stan, everybody loves my singing!" Mabel protested. "Just look at how happy it makes Waddles!"
The pig was trotting around the floor, squealing loudly, and obviously not happily.
"Mabel, give it up!" Dipper said from behind the cash register. "You're not going to be opening for your favorite boy band any time soon."
The 12-year-old girl pouted and walked up to the attic. Once up there, she collapsed on her bed.
"What should I do?" She asked herself.
A glint of light caught something under her brother's bed. Mabel grinned.
The first page that the book flipped open to was titled "Music Sprites."
These creatures live deep within the forests of Gravity Falls, staying within their cave homes in the day, but lingering outside in the night.
They strongly encourage music and singing in the subjects that they visit.
"Perfect!" She smiled, but then frowned. Like they do whenever somebody needs to make a hard decision, two little Mabels appeared on the real Mabel's shoulders.
"Don't try to find them!" The little Mabel wearing a white sweater and angel wings warned her. "Remember what happened the last time you tried to find something from Dipper's book without telling anybody?"
The real girl shuddered, still disturbed by some of the things that Stan had said when under the influence of the Truth Teeth.
"Are you seriously taking advice from her?" The little Mabel in the red sweater picked something out of her braces with her pointy red tail. "These sprites would make everybody stop complaining about your music, not to mention that they'd be singing, too."
"Don't listen to the devil!" The angel said.
"What could go wrong?" The devil smirked.
"I can make my own decisions!" Mabel yelled. The two little girls disappeared from her shoulder.
Late that night, she made her decision.
I'm going to do it, she thought, getting up from her bed and grabbing a flashlight. She plopped an upside-down pot on her head. I'm going to find those music sprites.
So, what do you guys think? Send in reviews! The more feedback I get, the faster the updates will come! (By the way, the truth teeth thing is from Bottomless Pit, but it's not a big deal if you haven't seen the episode.)
And I guess it's time for a disclaimer. I don't own Gravity Falls, Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines, Waddles, the 3 Book, Grunkle Stan, the Mystery Shack…all I own is Multiple Misleading and the music sprites.
