Like other stories in the "Potionate" series, this is another way things could have gone wrong with the love potion on the day of the Woodstick concert. All characters belong to Alex Hirsch, not me. Has Dipper shipped with everyone.
Potion Harem
Chapter 1 – Intervention
Dipper was being carried around Thompson's garage by Lee, celebrating his "greatness" for thinking of a way to sneak snacks into the Woodstick concert (by taping them onto Thompson), when a new text message for Tambry arrived.
From his vantage point on Lee's shoulders, Dipper couldn't help seeing what it said: "Tambry, You. Me. Date. Bring that sweet, sweet bod. Your secret admirer."
He didn't say anything, but as the gang scattered to get ready for the concert the pieces started clicking together in his mind: what Mabel had said about making Robbie happy; the diorama she had set up in the bedroom, with the figure of Robbie left on top of one of the buildings; and now this text, with a bold flirtation style that was all Mabel.
Should he say something? Mabel's scheme had the potential to mess with the social balance of the gang, just as he was starting to fit in. He turned around and caught up with Wendy, who was heading for home.
"Wendy, I think I ought to warn you," said Dipper. "I think Mabel's up to something."
"Isn't she always, dude?" said Wendy with a grin.
"Something big," said Dipper. "Remember how she said she was going to find a new girlfriend for Robbie?"
"Yeah?" said Wendy.
"I think she just set up a blind date between Robbie and Tambry," said Dipper.
Wendy's smile vanished. "No way! Not my best friend and my ex!"
"I'm afraid so," said Dipper.
"Where's this date going to be?" asked Wendy.
Dipper said, "I saw Tambry a few minutes ago, and it looked like she was heading to the Diner."
Wendy said, "I'm gonna put a stop to this right now!"
"I'm coming with you," said Dipper.
"You should go on home and get ready for the concert," said Wendy.
"No, I need to be there to ease the situation with Mabel," said Dipper firmly.
They both headed to the Diner.
At the Diner, Wendy and Dipper found Tambry and Robbie sitting together in a booth, but not looking happy about it.
"What's going on?" Wendy asked.
"Robbie, did Mabel set you up for this?" asked Dipper.
"Yeah dork, but I didn't know it would be Tambry," said Robbie. "As if."
"Don't worry, Wendy," said Tambry, scowling at Robbie. "We're so not happening."
"Where's Mabel? We need to talk with her about this," said Dipper.
"I saw her slip into the kitchen a little while ago," said Tambry.
Wendy and Dipper came up behind Mabel, who was in the middle of pouring a pink glittery sauce on a basket of fries.
"Mabel!" Wendy shouted.
Startled, Mabel whipped around. Two globs of the pink stuff flew onto Dipper and Wendy, and some spilled out onto Mabel's hand.
"What got on you, dude?" Wendy asked Dipper, looking straight at him.
"Dipper? What is it?" asked Mabel, a new glow coming into her eyes as she looked at him.
"I... I was going to tell you off for trying to set up Tambry with Robbie," said Dipper, his eyes aglow as well as he looked at both Wendy and Mabel. "But it's not important any more."
"It wasn't working, but it will if I give them these fries," said Mabel. "They have love potion on them that I got from a real Love God... But now all of a sudden all I want to do is kiss you, bro-bro."
"Hey, I was about to tell Dipper that," said Wendy.
"I want to kiss both of you, too," said Dipper. "You don't think..."
"I do think..." said Mabel. "The potion works. It worked on all three of us!"
"What are we going to do?" asked Dipper.
"I don't know," said Mabel. "We'll have to make it work somehow, bro bro."
"You mean Dipper and I will have to make it work," said Wendy. "You're his sister."
"I'm completely confused," said Dipper. "I like both of you."
"You're not giving it to Tambry and Robbie," said Wendy.
"Oh yeah, I am!" said Mabel.
"It's not right. I won't let you do this," said Dipper.
Dipper snatched up the potion-dosed basket and ran from the Diner out onto the sidewalk, with Mabel in hot pursuit. Wendy followed.
"What's going on, Wendy?" called Tambry, jumping up and following.
"Please give me that back, broseph!" Mabel called.
Dipper turned to look to see if Mabel was gaining on him. He barely missed colliding with Pacifica, dodged her, and ran into Candy and Grenda. Fries flew everywhere, getting on everyone nearby. All eyes were on Dipper when he fell in front of them.
"Dipper," said Candy, turning pink.
"Dipper," said Grenda, with a new note of passion in her deep voice.
"Dipper," said Pacifica, with an awkward smile.
"Dipper!" called Wendy. Another fry hit her, but she was already affected.
"Dipper!" called Mabel, also already affected.
"Dipper," said Tambry, who had run up in time to be hit by a fry as well.
"Oh no," said Dipper, looking at the crowd of girls surrounding him.
