Chapter 1- The Aftermath
Mabel's POV
It's finally over! We've defeated Bill and everyone is back to normal. Grunkle Stan and the rest who weren't captured got bruises and cuts from the battle, but it's all worth it. The citizens of Gravity Falls were walking around the town, feeling disoriented but happy that the demon was back in his dimension, never to be seen again, hopefully. The unusual creatures residing in Gravity Falls have found their way back to their previous homes, glad with the success after going against Bill.
The Gnomes returned to their forest, some had their cone-like hats smashed but most were fine. Around 10 had quite serious injuries, but they said they can take care of it on their own. They're pretty certain the forest of Gravity Falls has something that can help them.
The multi-bear nearly lost one of his heads and was thankful to have all of them intact.
The unicorns, those hateful creatures, managed to leave the battleground unscathed. Ughh it makes me so angry, they used others as human-, well, monster-shield. Well at least they gained a bit more decency with regards to gratefulness. The other creatures began to settle down in their forest homes once more.
I turned towards Dipper and looked at his face. He got his fair share of bruises, I did too, but hopefully it will fade before we return home to California. Our parents are gonna throw a fit if they find out what really happened to us in this town. He looked tired, but happy. I gave him a hug, "We did it Bro bro," I said with a smile on my face.
He returned the gesture, " Yeah we did, and I couldn't have done it without you." He was completely worn out and I knew he needed to rest.
Grunkle Stan and Great Uncle Ford walked to us and crouched down to give Dipper and I a group hug. I was comforted with the fact that our Grunkles are happy, and that Great Uncle Ford finally forgave Grunkle Stan with what happened 30 years ago.
"Good job kids! I knew you can do it! That good for nothing Dorito finally got what he deserved!" Grunkle Stan beamed, lifting both Dipper and I over his shoulder.
Dipper smiled, "Thanks Grunkle Stan." I knew how much that meant to Dipper and it made me smile more.
"Dipper, Mabel, I'm really proud of you, you've manage to defeat Bill once and for all!" Great Uncle Ford said, patting our heads, "and thank you for saving me and the town, we definitely owe you our lives."
"All in a days work by the 'Mystery Twins', Great Uncle Ford!" I replied, beaming.
They were about to lead us back to the shack when I heard Mayor Cutebiker call us, "Dipper and Mabel Pines!"
We all turned around to find the mayor running towards us, along with the rest of the town. "We want to express our greatest gratitude for what you've done for the town! So we would like to present you with the gift," Ooo, I love presents, I wonder what it could be, "of having a statue built in you honor in place of the one of our supposed founder which was melted by the demon."
Dipper and I looked at each other. We looked at our Grunkles and they were both nodding their head.
We looked at the Mayor and with a huge smile on his face, Dipper replied, "We are very much honored Mayor, we are very grateful for this present! But perhaps we can share the place of honor with our Great Uncles."
"Of course, how delightful!"
I noticed Candy and Grenda appear from behind and began to cheer, "Pines! Pines! Pines!" This led the whole town to cheer as well. Dipper and I smiled at each other, happy with the outcome of our actions.
Nothing can ruin this moment! Bill is defeated, although it's in shambles, the town is saved, and my brother and I won't be separated, staying by each other's side! Yup, this is the best day ever!
Just when I thought this day couldn't get any better, Mayor Cutebiker exclaimed, "Let's have a party in the town square! Tomorrow night, 8 pm, bring anything you could! Food, drinks, anything you can find or make!"
The town cheered once more, "Party! Party! Party!" And everyone began to disperse, making their way to their nearly destroyed homes.
I jumped off Grunkle Stan's shoulder and Dipper followed. I stared at him, then hugged him tightly.
"M-abel, I'm ch-cho-king."
I released him, "Whoops sorry bro-bro, I'm just so happy! Also excited! I can't believe they're gonna have a statue of us built! Ahhhhhh!"
Grunkle Stan rubbed our head, "Okay you two, let's go back to the shack,"
As if we were soldiers, Dipper and I stood straight and gave him a salute, and began marching to the house.
Halfway through, we turned around and saw Grunkle Stan and Great Uncle Ford having an arm on each others shoulder. I'm glad, after 30 years, they're really alright.
I copied the gesture to Dipper and he returned it. Everything truly is perfect and there's no better way to end this summer vacation.
~The next day~
The clean up of all the rubble in the town was surprisingly done very quickly. I guess I'm not the only person who's excited for the party. Although the structures were definitely damaged, the roads were clean and the remnants from the events of Weirdmageddon were gathered in an area of the town.
Not one person in the town wasn't working. I guess the saying really is true, "If there's a will, there's a way!" I smiled. No matter how scarring the events were, we were all ready to get back up and start all over again.
But something didn't feel right, I got this nagging feeling at the back of my head that I'm being watched, observed, whatever word you can think of. It's leaving an unsettling feeling in my stomach, like things weren't as well as we thought. What if-
"Mabel!" I saw Pacifica walking toward me. Okay, what was I thinking about? Oh well, I'm sure I'll remember it later.
I was glad all our differences were set aside and we've become friends, "Hey Pacifica! Are you ready for the party?"
Her face looked a but uneasy, "Not exactly, I kinda need help with what to wear."
Wiggling my eyebrows, "Oh, trying to impress someone?"
"Wha- no, no, n..." she did a double take whether she should continue denying the truth. She decided to tell me, "Yeah."
"Hihi, who's the lucky guy?" I had a hunch, but I needed reassurance that this cab happen.
She mumbled, "...ther".
"Who?"
"You... ...ther"
"Who, c'mon Pacifica, you know you don't have to be shy," giving her a reassuring smile.
She leant into my ear and whispered who. And my hunch was spot on! The world's greatest matchmaker now has a mission!
We went to her limo and was driven off to the Northwest Manor. I knew just what she needs.
After a few hours, we were finished and Pacifica looked stunning. She wore a Navy Blue Sundress with Embroidered White Flowers at the hem, paired with white flats and her Llama necklace. She made me pick a dress from her huge wardrobe as well and scanned the contents. It was a huge collection and I found something nice and was quite satisfied with the outcome. I was wearing a Peach Floral Sundress with black flats, with a star necklace. We made our way back to the limo to go to the town square. There's an hour left before the party and Pacifica was bringing a lot of food, I assume it could feed around 500 people. Well at least her parents weren't so snooty this time, although they still decided not to go. I think her father got traumatized when the functions of the holes in his face were switched by Bill.
Huh, Bill. I thought I might've changed him just a tiny bit during the time we spent with each other, that was a whole week after all. But I guess not. To be honest, I quite miss him, I'd always think back to that time. I wish he wasn't the way he is. I bet we would've been good friends.
We arrived at the town square not soon after I stopped thinking about Bill.
I saw that the square was decorated nicely, everyone put so much effort in this and now, it's time to party!
I found my way to my family, dragging Pacifica along. I left go of her arm and grabbed Dipper, pushing him to Pacifica. The collision nearly caused Pacifica to topple over but Dipper managed to grab her waist and lift her back up, putting them in a chest-to-chest position. They found themselves blushing at their position but didn't let go. The music began to play and Mayor Cutebiker announced, "Let get- get this party started!"
All problems are forgotten, and I could live peacefully, even for just one night. Tomorrow's a new day and I don't know what will happen, but I know I'm ready to face it head-on!
