Bianca smiled as she quietly left the room. Dipper was asleep in her bed and she sighed. 'Now let's find Mabel,' she thought and went to girl's room (twins has separated rooms now). Mabel was on her bed and sobbing loudly. She didn't look up at her mom just kept her head hidden in her lap. Mrs Pines sighed and sat by her and put a hand on Mabel's back.
"Mabel?" she asked softly and girl looked at her.
Her eyes were red and cheeks swollen. Her hair were messy and undone like usual. Mabel sniffed and hugged her mom tightly. Bianca accepted the hug and wrapped her arms around Mabel's body.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry mom…" Mabel mumbled. "I-I-I d-didn't mean t-to…"
Bianca caressed her daughter's hair and raised her chin with her index finger. She looked at her softly and calmly. Mabel seemed to calm down and her sobbing died down. Bianca smiled and gave Mabel her water bottle with pink ponies from her desk. Mabel drank all of water and let her mom dry the tears off her eyes.
"What happened?" Bianca asked gently.
"I-I and Dipper argued because I got another boyfriend…" Mabel started and looked at her hands.
"Another boyfriend?" Bianca asked and raised an eyebrow. "Mabel if I'm correct that's the tenth in two months. Don't you think that you are getting carried away?"
"T-that's what Dipper said," Mabel nodded. "A-a-and I got mad on him. I didn't want to beat him I swear!" she added quickly in defence. And fear.
Bianca looked at her confused. "What are you afraid of Mabel? Don't be afraid of me dear. You know I won't do anything to you," she said softly.
Mabel started to sob again and bowed her head. "I know h-he wanted good but I didn't want to l-listen," she sobbed. "I slapped him and he just self-defended. Then I started to insult him… I'm so sorry mom, I lost control. I didn't want to, I'm sorry…"
Mrs Pines' face was emotionless. She always taught her children to tell truth even if it's hard to do. She was sad to hear that but at least Mabel admitted it was Then she made a 'penguin kiss' with Mabel.
"I'm happy you admitted that it was you," she said. "Yet I'm still sad because you did it."
"I know," girl barely whispered.
Bianca sighed and raised Mabel's chin again. "Mabel I truly understand you and Dipper are in age of puberty and fights are normal. But that does not mean you have no control over your temper. I understand that it happens but..."
Female twin didn't look at her mom's eyes that were same brown colour and shiny as Dippers. The same eyes behind whose she saw a spirit that was injured. And she was one of causes for that. Mrs Pines saw that and she put her hand on Mabel's back and when girl looked at her she saw Bianca smiling kindly at her.
"I-I don't even know why I-I'm blind-ding myself with beiing a-a good person..." she whispered.
"Mabel. I'm not angry at you. Don't get me wrong, you're very good person but you are taking your anger on Dipper too much. And that's not good. You are pushing him off the edge and you did saw what happened today, didn't you?"
Mabel nodded lightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. Bianca sighed. Mabel had no clue that Dipper was cutting himself.
"He cut his arm open," she said and Mabel gasped in shock, new tears comming.
"I-is he hur-rt... because o-of me...?" Mabel's voice trembled. Mrs Pines smiled.
"There is never only one reason Mabel," she said. "Dipper is going through many things right now and..."
Suddenly she stopped talking and looked out of the window. Mabel noticed that and dried tears away and put her hand on her mom's.
"Is something wrong?"
Bianca looked at her and smiled. "No. It's just that Dipper reminds me of myself a lot."
Mabel sat closer to her mom and smiled. "Well you two really have a lot similiarities. Wow, I thought it's always like Like father like son."
Mrs Pines smiled and picked up Waddles and nested him in her lap. "Well nothing is 100%, remember that," she said.
"You guys even sound the same," Mabel wondered. "In our case it's like Like mother like son, but usually is Like mother like daughter, right?"
"Sure it is," Bianca smiled and messed Mabel's hair a bit and girl giggled. "But there is also Like father like daughter."
"Mom..." Mabel giggled shyly. "Stop embarassing me!"
Mrs Pines smiled and said, "Why should I, Shooting Star?"
Mabel flinched at the sound of the nickname. She looked at mom's eyes but find them completely normal. No cat-like pupils or pale yellow sclera and irises. But it was still uncomfortable to remember that horrible mistake she had made back in Gravity Falls. Mrs Pines chuchked and put her hand on Mabel's shoulder.
"Don't worry dear," she said wit her usual voice. "It's only me."
Mabel smiled. Her mom was along with Dipper the most compicated person she ever knew. And she didn't even bother to ask. They were quiet for some time and only Waddles was heard how he snored happily in Bianca's lap.
"Anyway Mabel," Bianca then said. "No more insults about sexuallities okay? That one really hurt Dipper."
Mabel looked at her. "I never knew he'd run away like that just because I called him gay," she said. "I mean many schoolmates called him the same and he never ran away like that so why now?"
Bianca sat straight and looked at Mabel. "Because he is gay."
Mabel looked at her like she's stupid. "...What?..." she finally asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"Mabel you know right well that talking about sexuallities isn't Dipper's subject," Bianca said. "And if your schoolmates are calling him the way you did, the last thing he needs is you starting calling him that way too."
Girl looked at her feet again. Now she really felt bad and guilty. Her mom was right. Dipper was abused by almost all of their schoolmates. She saw him sometimes when he was pushed against wall or lockers and then other boys laughed at him. But she never came to save him, usually too busy to do so. Now she realised what she had done to Dipper.
"I... I didn't know... I didn't know that..." she finally managed to say.
"I know," Bianca said, "but that's the thing siblings do. They look out for each other."
Mabel felt really bad now. She knew mom wasn't angry but she knew also that she wasn't happy either. But mostly because Dipper put all his trust in her and she didn't do anything to help him. Even more when she remembered how much he sacrifised to help her. Now when he needed her she only pushed him away and ignored his cries.
Suddenly a hand found it's way on her shouder (again). It was her mom. Mabel couldn't stand her warm and kind smile that embraced her. Those very light skinned yet not quite white hands wiped her tears away just like they did with Dipper. One would expect them to be ice cold but they were warm. Their warmth dried salty tears away and gave Mabel enough strenght to open her eyes.
"Mabel. You know I'm not angry," Bianca said and girl nodded. "And we both know we cannot change what had been said and done, right?"
Mabel nodded again and long and hard sigh escaped her mouth.
"But," Bianca said wisely and her daughter looked at her again. "But we can affect the future."
Mabel looled at Waddles for a momemt then at her mom again. "So what do we do?"
Mrs Pines smiled. "For a start you should go and apologize to Dipper."
Mabel smiled and tears came to her eyes once agan but this time not those of guilty. They were tears of relief and hope. She smiled widely and jumped on her mom, hugging her around neck and burried her face into Bianca's neck.
"Thank you mom..." she whispered. "I love you."
Bianca smiled and hugged her back. "I love you too."

After few moments they broke their hug and Mabel caught a glimpse of something familiar on her mother's side of neck. She smiled. It was her birthmark. Shape of Cygnus (The Swan constellation). 'These two really have much more similiarities than anyone,' she smiled and watched her mom go.

Thank you all for reading this. I'll be honest; I really didn't know that I'll got a suggestion to make a follow up where Bianca and Mabel had their own talk. Thank you Northgalus2002 for that wonderful suggestion. I hope you all like it and if you have any suggestion for story (if you want it to continue etc.) just tell me in reviews or PM.
