Hiya guys! Sorry this one took two weeks, I intend to do a chapter a week I just have mock exams coming up so its been a lil' bit stressful. Hope you like it and remember I love feedback because I need to get better! x

Mabel woke with a start, knocking over her alarm clock and sending it hurtling to the other side of the room. Shit, every morning. For the past two weeks the routine had been as follows; Dream about Wendy, wake up and basically drop kick the alarm away, try and remember said dream then tell self that dream has no significance. It just wasn't sustainable and she'd broken three clocks already, her brother was already asking questions. As the ringing she'd become so accustomed to drawled on she reflected on the dream she'd just had. They were usually different every time, in the beginning they'd been innocent, but recently let's just say Mabel woke up feeling a little bit frustrated.

"Mabes?" Her eyes snapped to the door as she quickly got up and silenced the noise. Straightening out her purple shirt and attempting to flatten her hair she opened the door slightly.

"Hey dipping-sauce, what's up this fine Saturday mornin?" Leave leave leave leave. She could feel her fingers shaking as they latched onto the door, praying her brother would simply allow her to write the dream in peace before she forgot.

"Uh- nothing, just checking in, you didn't break another alarm clock did you?" She could see he was trying to make her laugh and she did, which seemed to ease him up. He told her that if she wanted she could come with him to the mall when she was ready. Nodding and closing the door just a bit too quickly she ran back to her bed and continued her routine.

Opening up her laptop she swiftly pulled out the document where all her dreams were recorded. A month ago you'd have seen such random dreams from flying pigs to mole people underground, not that that stuff was strange to her after all, but now it was all 'she-who-shall-not-be-named'. This one hadn't been too bad maybe? She'd met Wendy while hiking in what looked like Wendy's hometown – Gravity Falls. She'd felt lost, unable to find any sense of direction or pinpoint a path to take her home, but then Wendy appeared and everything had been so clear. Things had escalated quite quickly after that. Clothes across the forest floor, moans echoing through the trees and the occasional traumatised gnome. No wonder she'd woken up in such a state.

Nonetheless she got dressed, sporting some cute black jeans and a sweater that matched her pug earrings, all the while thinking about how to tell Dipper about these weird dreams (minus a few details obviously).


Climbing into dippers cars she took in her surroundings, wincing at the smell of his strong aftershave.

"Think you may have gone a little overboard with the deodorant Dipper?" She asked, innocently, eyeing up his styled hair.

"What? No." He defended, smelling his shirt. "This is how much I always put on!" Mabel lifted her eyebrows, it definitely wasn't because her nose would know.

"This doesn't have anything to do with you possibly seeing Emily at the mall today does it?" She asked, a small smile forming at the corner of her lips as she saw his eyes grow wider.

"WHAT? NO!" He answered again, all too quickly Mable thought. "Can't a guy just smell nice for a trip to the mall? This has nothing to do with her! I mean do you she'd like it? I remember her saying she liked this one so I we- I MEAN, NOT THAT IT MATTERS!"

Mabel laughed and patted Dipper on the shoulder, noticing he had his lucky shirt on with the pine tree "She's gonna love it... If she'd even at the mall," Dipper didn't answer as he started the car and set off out of the drive.

The drive passed quickly as they both listened to the radio station occasionally laughing at the DJ and counting the times they saw a license plate that looked like a word (8 times). However as they began to near the mall Mabel started to fidget and had the feeling of a growing sense of doom. She knew she had to talk to Dipper about her problem today but she just didn't know how. Dipper, who probably noticed her change of attitude, slowed down and patted her knee gently, smiling at her as he drove.

Once they'd gotten in the parking lot Mabel felt as if she could go for a 10k run with how worked up she was getting, and it suddenly got worse when she saw a group of girls from her school. Pushing her thin frame as far as she could into the seat the floor had never looked more interesting.

"Don't you know them, Mabes?" Her brother asked, blissfully unaware that these were the girls who attempted to torment Mabel whenever they could at school. Whether it be her outfit, lack of boyfriend or good grades they found something to take the piss. Shaking her head, she turned to Dipper with a pleading look that said anything but 'lets go say hi!' Taking the hint he swerved to avoid them, finding a space just a bit further from the entrance. "I get it, no worries,"


A couple of stress-free hours had gone by where Mabel's biggest worry had been how much could she get Dipper to buy her before he said no. It had been one of the best days in a while and she'd almost forgotten what the problem was. Yet she knew she'd have to face it eventually and found herself leading Dipper to a coffee shop and makeshift library.

Buying both herself and Dipper a hot chocolate, they sat in the corner on a blue sofa surrounded by books on Greek mythology and Latin literature. Sinking into the chair she contemplated how to bring this up without hitting a nerve mentioning his old crush. It's not like she hadn't like Wendy either, she'd just gotten used to hiding her feelings better and accepted it would never happen because they'd both been girls so she didn't really have to contemplate it.

"Hey Dip?" She asked as he was reading the spines of numerous books, hoping to sound as nonchalant as possible. Making a sound of recognition but not turning around Mabel took this as an indication to continue. "You remember Wendy Corduroy? The girl from Gravity Falls?" Turning quickly he nearly knocked his drink off the table between them, not expecting such a random question from his twin sister.

"Uh- Yea?" He muttered while tilting his head sceptically and grabbing the cup that had previously nearly face planted the floor "Why do you ask?"

Mabel didn't look up at him, fidgeting with her hands and biting the inside of her cheek was much more appealing than trying to explain her sudden obsession with Wendy. "Oh I don't know man, just reminiscing ya know?" She faked a laugh, not convincingly at all though and with one raise of Dippers eyebrow she was forced to tell him everything – twin telepathy would have happened eventually anyway.

As she went on, only missing the occasional graphic detail, Dipper sat in silence with a neutral expression on his face as his twin sister came out to him and explained her possible love. After half an hour of explaining Mabel took a breath, hoping Dippers silence was just him processing and taking the information in. "So... What ya think Dipping-sauce?" She whispered gently, clasping her hands together so tightly that her ring was pressing against her skin.

He blinked a few times, and then smiled. "I think you need to see her. Face to face. Girl to girl," He straightened up, pulling out his phone and checking his calendar "Finals are just a few months away then it's summer, and Wendy will be back home from college so it's perfect!" He went on about an 'emotional reunion' and 'she could like you back!' with the occasional 'think about the possibilities!'

Mabel sat there in stunned silence, staring at her brother, dumb-founded. "You're crazy!" She shouted, her hands reaching up to her head "I can't just wander back to Gravity Falls and tell Wendy all this! She'll freak!"

Dipper stood up, smirking as he did so "But you know you wanna do it, don't deny it, come on Mabel! You don't have to tell her straight away, all you have to do is reconnect. You're seventeen now, things are completely different,"

"That's the problem," Mabel moaned. People change. What If Wendy changed, all she had to go on was her profile, she probably didn't want anything to do with stupid old Mabel.

Dipper pulled her up, dragged her out of the café and practically threw her into his car "We're getting mom and dad to plan your trip back to Gravity Falls, this is a sign Mabes!" She couldn't help but smile at her brother, she had someone who finally understood what was going and wanted to help her. Now all she had to do was hope and pray their parents let her go.

Thanks guys! x
