Hey, here is another chapter for everyone. This chapter was a bit longer, but I think it was a bit worse than the first one. It was stubborn and didn't want to be written. Please review, I love to hear what people have to say about my stories)
Mabel Pines had always believed that there was good in everyone she met- no matter how small, or big, the amount. Now thanks to a single day of her Summer, she would soon have to put one of her strongest beliefs to the test. Even when her Grunkle is dragged away by two mean strangers. But she had patience. She had faith. Mabel had trust.
She had shot worried glances at her brother when she read over the I.D's and newspapers. The look of shock horror on her brother's face was also plastered on hers. Still, she was in disbelief. This can't possibly be her Grunkle Stan? Pshh, you can't believe everything you read, right? As Mabel's eyes flickered on the paper over and over again, she began to doubt that this was a mistake, or a mixup. The harsh reality had dawned- her Grunkle was not who he seemed.
As she walked down the basement steps, one thing bore her on. Mabel was determined to find anything that could prove to Dipper that Stan wasn't a bad guy. But the scowl creating wrinkles on his face was a sign that, at that moment, it would be near impossible to change his mind.
Mabel was shaking as she turned the yellow key standing before her. Still quivering, she watched Dipper lean forward to press the shiny red button, when he came to a halt. As a loud noise echoed through the room, Mabel can make out a figure in the door. Grunkle Stan. Staring at Stan trying to explain himself, Mabel suddenly felt herself being hurled towards the glowing portal behind her. Snagging her foot on a wire, moments away from floating into the black abyss, she grasps it with two hands. What should she do? She looks to the person that she has depended on her whole life, who she can definitely trust; her brother. Shooting a look in his way, Dipper immediately gets her message. Over the roar of the portal, she listens to her brother, and climbs down the wire, reaching the failsafe. The pole felt freezing in her small hands, but she held her grip. Before she knew it, her hand was on a collision course with the button. But at the last moment, Mabel stopped herself.
While staring at two of her family members, she realises that she can't press the button. Sure, Grunkle Stan had conned a lot of people in his life, but maybe he had lied for a reason. Maybe it was too hard to tell the truth. It might have affected their relationship. He may have done something good. That was something Dipper failed to understand. He was always so focused on the factual information. Always listening to his head. Trying to solve everything with logic. Mabel knew Grunkle Stan loved her and Dipper; he even punched a pterodactyl for her! He loved them enough to lie to them, and she knew that Dipper would disagree, telling her to listen to her head, as he was right then and there. But for once, he needed to listen to his heart. Looking up a final time, she tunes out Dipper's warnings. As Stan pleads with her, she looses her grip on the pole. Hoping that Dipper will understand, she lets go and yells over the cacophony of sounds.
"Grunkle Stan, I trust you."
And as she closes her tear filled eyes, she knows that she had made the right choice. Hoping Dipper will forgive her. It make take time, but Mabel had trust that he would.
