Chapter 1 - Thrown into Reality

Dipper had just finished his speech. Trying to convince Mabel that although reality is horrible at times it is better than hiding away in a world of fantasy, a world that isn't even real. He promised he would give up on his dream to be Ford's apprentice, expressed his need to be with his sister. All that's left, is to hear Mabel's decision. Will it be this fantasy world? Or him, her brother?

"ORDER! ORDER!" Shouts the Judge. Smashing his hammer on his desk. "ORDER IN THE COURT! DANG IT why is this hammer squeaky?!"

Meanwhile, Mabel just stares at Dipper. He can see she's trying really hard to think but is afraid he's losing. She has that look in her eye. The look that says 'this is my standpoint and I won't budge'. He's losing. He knows it.

"Everyone, I know what I think." Mabel finally says. The crowd instantly quiets, waiting for her response to her brother.

"Dipper, I hear what you're saying. We had a lot of great times. I know we did. But…" She looks at Dipper dead in the eye. Dipper knows it! He's lost! He lost his sister! He hangs his head, he just can't take looking at her anymore. Not when he knows what's coming.

"I don't want to go to reality. I like it here. You can stay too! We can still be together! And here? You don't have to give up that apprenticeship. You can still learn from Ford! We can still go on adventures! What do you say? Stay here Dipper. If you need to be with me so badly, stay here!"

Dipper lifts his head again. He knows it's the last time he will see his sister, he needs to take in everything before leaving. This is the last time he will ever see her. He just knows it.

She has beautiful caramel brown eyes that are filled with determination and twinkling with desperation. The glint of the surrounding brightness in her eyes makes her eyes seem other-worldly. Her hair, a rich auburn, cascades like water over her shoulders. Flowing to her waist. Her classic shooting star sweater hanging over her form, making her look all the more like her namesake. He looks her dead in the eyes. He needs to get his point across!

"Mabel. I can't stay, we can't stay. We need to leave. We! You can't stay here. You can't lock yourself up in this bubble, and I can't go alone! I need you! Don't you need me too? I thought we were the Mystery Twins?" He can see Mabel falter at that. It's a low blow sure, but he needs to get her out of here now matter what.

"Look around you. Is this really what you want? To be locked up in here? To be 'safe' in here while the rest of Gravity Falls needs your help? Our help? What about Grunkle Stan? We need to find him! Not stay here! … Mabel… please, I can't do this alone. I-I need you. Please…"

He feels his eyes burn and can tell he's on the verge of tears. He lets his head fall, staring at his worn shoes. The ball is in Mabel's court now. He's played every last card he has. He has nothing that can help him now.

"Dipper?..." Mabel begins saying. She sounds like she's on the verge of crying too. "Why doesn't she understand?" He thinks. God, he didn't want their relationship to EVER get to this.

"Dipper, I know Gravity Falls needs saving. That's why we need to stay here. Let Ford save everyone! He seems to like the idea, let him do it." Out of his peripheral he can see her lower her head. "I need you here Dipper... I need my brother. We can't go out there, I lose you... I don't want to lose you."

Mabel suddenly surges towards him. Grabbing his shoulders and shaking them. "Do you remember the last time we faced Bill? You almost died Dipper! I can't go through that again! Please don't make me! Don't make me lose my twin!"

He looks into her eyes, they're shimmering brightly with emotion. She has tears steadily rolling down her face. Not seeming to stop anytime soon. "Yep," He thinks. "Worst brother ever. Why can't I make her happy for once in my life?"

"Please…" She whimpers. How can he say no to that? How can any brother?

He really is the worst brother ever isn't he?

Dipper shakes his head. He can't say it. He can't crush his sister like this, but he has to say it. He can't leave it unsaid. She'll misunderstand, and that'll make more problems, more heartache. He needs to say it. Even if it makes him the worst brother in history. He needs to say it. For her sake if nothing else.

"No..." He says. Voice soft, almost a whisper. He hears a broken sob in return. "No, I can't stay. If you really don't want to leave… Y-you can s-stay here. I… I need to help. Ford's gold, he c-can't help… I can't stay… I'm s-sorry Mabel."

He can't look at her. He doesn't want to see the heartbroken look on her face. He feels her arms drop to her sides and move away from him.

"Fine." Her voice is hard, cold as ice. "Leave. Choose reality over your sister. Leave."

Once those words are spoken, the Judge up front slams his hammer on his desk. "Are we finally ready for the verdict? Anymore wastes of everyone's time?"

Dipper doesn't move. He just stands there, head hung, un-moving, silent. There is nothing left to say anyway.

"No Judge." Mabel says next to him. "We are all ready for the verdict."

"Splendid. Dipper Pines. You have been found guilty of crimes against this court. The court states, after all the evidence presented, that you be exiled from Mabeland and unable to return. You will go alone, and will be alone from now on. You may have ten minutes to talk to your family before leaving. Court adjourned!"

The statement is cold and uncaring. Dipper feels as if his heart, that was already torn, was just ripped out of his chest and shredded. The pieces of his heart strewn across the floor like confetti.

The citizens of Mabeland filter out of the courtroom. All of them sending death glares at Dipper. He doesn't look up to see them, but he can feel them. Feel them on his back burning holes in him. Reducing him to nothing more than a pile of ash on the floor. Scattered there with his shredded heart.

"Wow dudes." Wendy walks over to him. Still with her usual calm and collected tone, only this time with a hit of sympathy lining her voice.

"Yeah, dudes. That was, like, crazy bonkers intense!" Ah Soos. Always lovable even when oblivious to how delicate he feels right now. He doesn't need to be reminded. He's just lost his sister. Even if he does defeat Bill and everything goes back to normal, this won't. He will never be able to talk to Mabel like he used to. Not anymore. He's lost her, lost his sister. Forever.

"Yeah well, I guess I just kinda get a little crazy in the courtroom!" Mabel makes spinning movements with both hands either side of her head. She sounds like her regular self. Nothing like at the end of the trial. He's never heard Mabel, of all people, sound like that before. Where did that come from anyway?

"Hey, dude," Wendy puts a hand on Dipper's shoulder, and he subconsciously flinches from the contact. "You okay there?"

Dipper doesn't respond. How can he respond to this? How should he respond to this?

"Pftt! He's fine! Ain't you Dip Dop?"

Yet again, Dipper doesn't reply. He doesn't even move. It's like he's just been turned into stone. Infact, Dipper wishes that's what just happened. Maybe then he wouldn't have to deal with leaving his sister this way, with losing her forever.

"Uh, Duag? You sure he hasn't been turned to stone or something?" He then feels Soos poke him lightly in the side. He still doesn't react. "Yeah, okay. He's fine. Just in shock."

"Whaaat? He's not in shock! Why would he be?" Mabel's cuts through the fog of his mind. Just like the light from a beckon at night. He starts to let out the tears he's been holding since Wierdmageddon started. He makes no sound. The tears simply fall.

"See? He's fine! Dipper's fine! Just being a big ol' grumpy grump that he lost the trial. Ain't that right, Sir Dipping Sauce?" Mabel pokes his sides a few times just to make her point. It's like she doesn't understand the situation they're in.

Again, though. He doesn't respond. Simply continues to shed silent tears. Knowing that that was the last real heart felt conversation he will ever have with Mabel again.

He's lost her.

His sister.

He's just lost Mabel.

The light of his life.

He's lost her.

He's lost her.

"Alright! Ten minutes are up!" One of the Waffle Guards shout. Floating swiftly in Dipper's direction. "Time to leave, forever."

The guard grabs Dipper by the arm and drags him to the barrier. Dipper doesn't fight it. Why should he? What's there left to fight for here? He's just lost only person he truly cared about. He will never see the true Mabel ever again. He lost her.

They made it to the barrier. The guard pushes Dipper towards it. Dipper doesn't give any resistance to this, he feels no need. He just lost his everything. He just lost her. He lost Mabel.

"Wait!" Mabel suddenly shouts. Stunned, Dipper's head whips up. Hope beginning to spark in his eyes.

"Wait. Before he goes, I just want to say one last thing."

The Waffle Guard nods, or as much as he can being a waffle, and Mabel walks over to Dipper. Leaning forward so her lips are close to his ear, and whispers in a voice only he can hear, "I hope you're happy. I hope you feel just great. You just abandoned your sister. Left her alone in this world." She pauses. "Oh well, I'm sure Dippy Fresh will be a much better brother than you."

Mabel then leans back, and he can see a small dark smirk on her lips that disappears, being replaced by her usual, bright and cheer-filled smile. He just stands there in shock. Was that really her? Was that really Mabel saying that? Or was it the Bubble? Was Bill using her to hurt him further? Or was that Mabel? He doesn't know. He doesn't know anything.

The hope fades from his eyes, only to be replaced with resignation. He's alone. His sister no longer to be with him. The tears start to flow again. Just as silent as before. Just as heart shattering for him too.

Mabel nods to the guard who pushes Dipper towards the barrier again. He takes one last glance at Soos and Wendy. They're waving. With disappointed looks on their faces, and their heads tilted slightly down but still keeping eye contact.

That's the last thing he sees before he is met, once again with the sight of Weirdmageddon. And he cries. He falls to his knees screaming out sobs.

He's just lost his everything.

Now, he's all alone.
