Hello! A MermandoxMabel story for Mermando x Mabel fan. Hope you enjoy it. All character's and Gravity Falls itself does not belong to me.

Mabel sat by the lake where Mermando's messages would usually appear. She hadn't heard from him in a long time. She knew he was married and that he lived in the ocean and she lived on land but she continued to hope. She also continued to worry. What if his wife found out about the letters and didn't like it? What if he didn't care about her anymore? What if he was... dead?

"No, you can't think like that." Mabel scolded herself and got up to leave. Everyday, she checked out the lake, pool or any other area's where he used to send her messages. The bottled messages used to be frequent but then they slowed down, and now she hadn't found one for two weeks. The last message was the notice that he was getting married.

She didn't tell Dipper too much about this, he wouldn't understand. His love was right there in front of him. He was told when Mermando did write her, but that was it. Mabel turned her back to the lake and began to walk. Candy and Brenda would cheer her up. Dipper would also probably be doing something dorky that would make her laugh.

Clink! Clink! Clank! Clink!

Mabel turned around swiftly. There were four bottles bobbing up and down by the rocks. She ran over and grabbed them all in a big scoop. She found they had dates written on them and open the oldest one. Her heart was beating in excitement. She felt like crying and laughing. When she got the paper from the bottle she opened it.

Dear Mabel,

I apologize for my lack of writing, the marriage has taking most of my time. Everything is running safely down here so far. Let me remind you if I had my way, you would be my bride. I am being called to do more preparations. Stay safe, I will remind you of my love everyday.

Love,

~Mermando

Mabel's feeling were a mix of so much emotions at once. Was this real love? It had to be. She felt pain, fear, sadness and worry for him, but she also felt joy and and heart wrenching happiness. She grabbed the next bottle, as As she did more floated in. Soon she had two weeks worth of bottles.

Dear Mabel,

I love you with all my heart.

~Mermando

She opened the next one.

Dear Mabel,

You are as beautiful as the ocean at sunset.

~Mermando

And the next one.

Dear Mabel,

You are a masterpiece that I have the privilege to behold.

~Mermando

The latter went on like that, small but very sweet compliments each day and when she was all done reading, Mabel cried. She took out a piece of paper and a pen from the bag she had brought with her. She placed the pen to the paper and began to write.

Dear Mermando...

Please review, I hope you liked the story, I will be back with more soon.
