Merry Christmas Mabel
Starter A/N: Hello everyone! This is Alisi Thorndyke coming at ya with my very first GF fic. First off, I do want to apologize now if the following friendship pairing isn't what you folks are use to so please no flames. Unleashing the imagination is what I'm doing here so technically, I'm not breaking any laws lol. While there are no real pairings in this fic, I am making this a Tyrone/Mabel friendship fic. Thought I'd mix it up a bit since this pairing does not exist on this site at all. Remember, this is just friendship and not a serious coupling. I could make it that in possible future fics if enough requests are made. If nothing else, on with the legal limitations and summary!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls, but Alex Hirsch does. So let's give it up for the man who brought a quality television program to this chaotic world! Without this show, I'd probably still be channel surfing while booing the poor selection of television shows on Friday nights in between my studies lol.
Summary: What do you give as a gift to the girl who has every color sweater of the rainbow? Tyrone asks himself that question as he wants to get Mabel the perfect gift for Christmas, but doesn't know what exactly. After a little investigation, he comes up with the perfect gift idea. Tyrone/Mabel fluffy friendship fic. NO PINECEST!
Chapter 1: In Search of the Perfect Gift
Winter and the season of Christmas have fallen on the sleepy town of Gravity Falls. Light dustings of snow have covered the ground and with more snow now falling, the aerial view of the town is very picturesque, the perfect picture of what you'd find on the front of a hallmark Christmas card. Everyone has gotten into the spirit of the season, including the gnomes that reside in the forest, whom have made a miniature snow man in the clearing of the forest and Gideon Gleeful, who has made a snow woman in the image of Mabel Pines. He currently can be seen standing in the yard of his house staring at the snow Mabel.
"Would you like some hot chocolate with marshmallows sugar dumpling?" Gideon asks the snow Mabel. "Marshmallows for my marshmella?"
And when I say everyone is in the spirit of the holiday that includes the residence of the Mystery Shack. The outside of the building is heavily decorated with Christmas tinsel, lights, light up decorations on the main porch, and the letters that spell out 'Mystery Shack' on the roof are glowing with an almost blinding red and green color.
On the inside, the shack doesn't look any different from the outside of the building including the seven foot Christmas tree in the den that is heavily decorated with tons of ornaments and tinsel with more decorations being added to it by the older pines twin, Mabel Pines and her pet and assistant, Waddles.
Because the twins' parents decided to take a vacation overseas for the holidays, they sent the two to spend their holiday vacation with their great uncle. Because the twins spent their past summer in Gravity Falls and seemed to have enjoyed it, their parents felt that sending them to gravity falls for Christmas wouldn't be a problem. So here they are, spending yet another break from school in Gravity Falls with their great uncle Stanford.
As the older pines continues decorating the tree with her pet pig, the younger pines now makes his way into the den reading his '3' book. Finishing his reading of the current content, he takes a look over at the overly decorated tree and its decorator. He notices how heavily the tree is decorated and questions whether the poor thing will be able to take anymore decorations.
"There are way too many decorations on this tree." Dipper comments. "You can hardly see the branches and bottom."
"Don't be silly dippy-dots." Mabel replies with a laugh, not taking her eyes off of the tree. "Of course you can see the branches and the bottom, they are just covered with lights and ornaments."
Waddles oinks in agreement, despite the tree bulb ornament in his snout. Deciding not to get into a complex conversation about how much Mabel is smothering the tree, much like she did with the outside of the shack, Dipper changes the subject.
"So Mabel, I decided to get Wendy a gift for Christmas." Dipper begins. "I'm not exactly sure what, but I wanted to talk to you about it since you're a girl and she is a girl and only girls know what other girls like."
"Well that is true, but Wendy doesn't like the same things I do." Mabel replies, taking the ornament from Waddles and placing it on the tree. "She's a teenager and teenagers like all kinds of weird stuff like those dark Goth bands, boys with cars, and cars. But I, on the other hand, give me yarn and a new set of knitting needles, and I'm one happy girl! Why don't you just ask her what she likes."
"That would be a great idea if she weren't away on vacation with her family for the holidays." Dipper says, continuing to watch Mabel further smother the tree. "And there is no way of reaching her."
"I forgot that she won't be back until after Christmas." Mabel replies. "Well, at least you know what to get for me for Christmas."
"Don't you have enough knitting needles and yarn?" Dipper asks, cocking an eyebrow. "You have so much now I could swear you're opening up your own yarn store."
"Yea, but I can always use more." Mabel smiles, now turning to Dipper. "I can never have enough you know. Plus I will be knitting one awesome sweater for Waddles for Christmas."
"Yea, I'll keep that in mind." Dipper replies, now making his way over to the shop and to the counter. Taking a seat in Wendy's space behind the counter, Dipper opens his '3' book and begins reading a random section. Sighing and feeling as if he's read enough, Dipper places the book down on the counter and closes it.
Taking a look around the room for possible gift ideas, the younger pines now spots a book with the label, "Employee Information", taped on the spine on the top shelf next to the male and female brains. Thinking to himself of what the book contains, he then turns his attention back to in front of him.
"If I were Wendy, what would I like as the perfect gift?" Dipper asks himself. "I can't contact her to ask such a question and Mabel was no help, so I'm going to need someone to bounce my ideas off of. I'm definitely not going to Robbie about this one!"
Continuing to think, Dipper spots an old flyer of the mystery shack's party from the summer and gains an idea. Grinning, the boy darts from the shop and into Stan's office, stopping directly in front of the copier. Flipping the top open, Dipper jumps onto the surface and presses the copy button. A scan of him is made and the results appear in the copy results tray. Jumping off of the copier, Dipper flips the top down and grabs the sheet of paper. Laying it flat on the floor, his copy emerges from the paper, two Dippers now facing each other.
"Now I can brainstorm." Dipper smirks, his brown eyes meeting those of his copy. "Who would know better how I think than me?"
And we thought the episode Double Dipper was the last time we'd see another Dipper clone. Well SURPRISE! Will Dipper successfully brainstorm ideas for the perfect gift for Wendy with his clone and how much more decoration will Mabel place on the tree before it is considered a fire hazard? Keep reading to find in chapter 2! Next chapter, the brainstorming of the gift ideas begins!
