Mira once again found herself standing in the white abyss once more. Though there was something different about the world she stood in this time. This time the first thing she found was what appeared to be a door in front of her. She walked over to the door and opened it. The minute she did she found herself on a beach of some kind. The beach was beautiful and sun had set over the horizon and she listened to the sound of the waves and watched as the sun set in the distance.
She tilted her head curiously wondering where she was exactly; though she was suddenly startled when suddenly two boys the same age as her had run past her. She didn't see their faces however, all she saw was the back of their heads. They were laughing and they were cheerful just as her siblings were. She saw they were talking to one another, but she couldn't quite hear them.
Curious to where they were going she had decided to follow them through the sandy beach. She had followed them for what felt like hours, but after awhile she appeared to have lost them. However she had soon caught sight of them when saw the two boys go into a cave of some kind, that was once boarded up with wood, but now had a triangular hole of big enough to fit. She went towards the entrance and gone inside the cave, not paying attention to the writing on the wall.
"Hello?" She called out, "Hello, is anyone in here?"
As she looked through the cave, she suddenly heard whispers bounce off the walls, which made her start to shake. She started to tremble even harder when she saw her own breath.
"Hello? Hello?" Mira said, "Hello! Someone answer-"
Mira stopped when she once again saw the man in her previous dream in the distance of the cave, though she couldn't see his face.
"It's you…" Mira said with a whisper.
And just like before, the man turned around and walked away. Mira started to run after him. "Please wait!" She called out.
As she ran through the cave and had failed to notice the walls and floors of the cave had froze over just behind her. "Wait! Stop!" Mira shouted. Eventually she saw him exit out of the cave through an opening at the top She climbed up through, only to find the world colored in red. She had lost sight of the man.
Mira froze with fear when she saw the whole world covered with red, as was the ocean, and the clouds were as black as night.
"Wha-Wha-What is this!?" Mira stammered, "Why is the whole world like this!?"
She had felt the ground suddenly go ice cold. She finally noticed that the ice was freezing over the ground on which she was standing on. Not wanting to get frozen over like last time, she had started to run as fast she as she could. Though she didn't get far, when she suddenly fell over face first. She looked behind her and saw that there was suddenly a chain wrapped around her ankle.
"Wha-What!?" She stammered, "What is this!?"
When she looked forward she saw that there were chains on her on wrist Despite this she tried to get up and move, but the chains restricted her movements.
"nehw eht sniahc era nekorb, dna htrae emoceb yks, raef eht tsaeb htiw tsuj eno eey."
The ice had gotten closer to where Mira was, and just like before it had started to freeze over her body. She struggled to get out of the chains despite the fact that the ice putting more restrained on her body with the ice.
"N-nno!" She exclaimed, "Help me! Someone help me! Please, someone help me!"
The ice was now coming close to her upper body, and just when it was reaching her face-
"Mira! Mira wake up!"
Mira was suddenly shaken awake by her brother Dipper. She found herself back in reality. She sat up from where she slept which was on her bed in their room in the attic. She didn't remember why she was there at first until she had it came back to her after a few seconds; earlier she had gone up there to take a nap.
She took deep breaths and found herself sweating a bit.
"Are you okay?" Dipper asked her sister with worry, "You were tossing and turning in your sleep."
Mira wiped the sweat off of her forehead, and replied, "I… I guess I had a bad dream."
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked.
Mira shook her head, "No… Not really. I don't want to have to think about it again."
Dipper patted her on the shoulder, "Hey, come on. I'm sure whatever your bad dream was is nothing." He reassured her, "Just letting you know if you ever wanna talk about it, Mabel and I will be here to listen. How about we go get some Pit Cola from the kitchen to take your mind off of it?"
"I'd like that." Mira said to Dipper. Thus they both went down the stairs. They were about to enter the kitchen when they noticed Mabel in the living room looking distraught as she paced around the room; She was mumbling words to herself. Dipper and Mira looked at one another, and then looked back to Mabel; They walked into the living room to approach their sister.
"I mean, he's so nice, but… I can't keep doing this. But I don't want to break his heart." They heard Mabel say before shouting, "I HAVE NO WAY OUT!"
"Mabel, are you okay?" Mira asked her.
"No, Mira, I am not okay!" Mabel said, "I have this huge problem! Gideon asked me out on another date, and I just couldn't say no!"
"What?" Dipper said, "What the heck happened on that date?"
"I don't know!" Mabel replied, "One minute I was in the friend zone, and the next minute, he pulled me into the romance zone! I don't know what to do!"
"Calm down sister." Mira said, "Everything is going to be okay, we'll figure this out."
"Yeah." Dipper said, "Besides, it's not like you're going to have to marry him." Just than Stan had entered the room; the triplets saw him wearing a shirt that had read, Team Gideon. "Great news Mabel!" He said with a smile, "You're marrying Gideon!"
"WHAT!?" The triplets exclaimed.
"Why do I have to marry him!?" Mabel shouted to Stan.
"It's all a part of the long term deal I've made with Bud Gleeful." Stan said, "There's a lot of cash tied up in this thing!"
"When did you make that deal?" Mira asked with a quizzical look on her face.
-Earlier-
Stan couldn't believe what he had heard from his staff. His own niece was dating his arch rival Gideon! He couldn't stand it, he just couldn't! He could almost swear it was like those days when Skyla was at the age when she was bringing boys into his house. It was something he couldn't accept. He practically dropped everything he was doing and drove straight to Gideon's house to straighten things out. He gotten out of the car and ran to the front door; he started to slam the door.
"GIDEON YOU LITTLE PUNK!" Stan shouted, "OPEN UP!"
He stopped knocking for a moment when he saw a sign that had read, "Please Pardon This Garden"
"I will pardon nothing!" He said taking the sign off of the door. The front door had opened and it revealed to be Gideon's father, Bud Gleeful.
"Why, if it isn't Stanford Pines." Bud said with a smile, "What a delight!"
"Out of my way Bud!" Stan said, pushing Bud out of the way, "I'm looking for Gideon!"
Bud pushed him back, "Well, I haven't seen the boy around, but since you're here, you must simply come in for coffee." He had pulled Stan inside the house.
"Wai-wait, no, I came here for-" Stan had stammered before getting cut off by Bud.
"It's imported, all the way from Columbia." Bud said.
"Wow." Stan said, "I went to jail there once."
Bud shut the door behind him and Stan went to sit on the couch while Bud sat on the lounge chair. Stan couldn't help but whistle, "Some digs you got here." He complimented, he turned to a clown painting, "Oh, and this. This is beautiful."
"Now, I hear that your niece and my Gideon are, well they're singin' in harmony lately so to speak." Bud Gleeful said.
"Uh, yeah!" Stan said remembering why he came there in the first place, "And I'm against it!" He than knocked over a pillow that sat on the couch.
"No, no, no, I see this as a perfect opportunity." Bud said. They got up from where they sat and walked throughout the house, and Bud started to explain. "Yes the Mystery Shack and the Tent of Telepathy. We've been at each other's throats for far too long, yes we have. This is our big chance to set aside our rivalry and pool our collective profit you see."
Stan had clicked a cash register nearby, as he smiled.
"I'm listening…"
-Present-
The triplets were just in shock by what their Grunkle Stan had told them; Mabel especially. "So like I said, it's all part of a long term deal. There's a lot of cash tied up in this thing. Plus I got this free shirt!" Stan said, though he looked at his own body, "Man, I'm fat."
Mabel screamed and ran out of the room.
"Bodies change sweetie!" Stan called out, "Bodies change."
Dipper and Mira went after Mabel; they saw that she had gone up the stairs to their room for the summer.
They opened the door, and saw Mabel sitting in a fetal position with her sweater over her head. Gary soon came up the stairs, "Hey guys, what's going on?" Gary asked, before he saw them peeking into the room, "Guys?" Gary peeked into the room, looking over their shoulders. "Why does Mabel have her sweater over her head?"
"It's Sweater Town." Mira explained to Gary, "She goes to Sweater Town whenever she's super upset."
"Well, why is she upset?" Gary asked.
"Grunkle Stan says she has to marry Gideon." Mira whispered so that Mabel wouldn't be even more upset; Gary nodded in understanding.
"Okay, this has gone far enough." Dipper said, "We have to put an end to this."
Dipper, Mira and Gary entered the room and approached Mabel. "Hey Mabel." Dipper greeted.
"Mabel's not here." Mabel said, "She's in Sweater Town."
"Is Mabel going to come out of Sweater Town?" Mira asked, right before sneezing.
All Mabel did was shake her head as she let out a whine.
"Man, this is a really quite a predicament you got yourself in." Gary said, "You're really sure you can't just say no to him?"
Once again, Mabel shook her head. Dipper sighed, "Look Mabel, if you can't breakup with Gideon, than Mira and I will do it for you."
Mabel peeked out from her sweater, "Really? You guys will?"
"Yep." Mira replied, "Don't worry, Dipper and I will take care of it for you." Mabel popped out from her sweater, and hugged both of her siblings, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, you two are the best!"
-Later that Night-
At the restaurant simply known as the Club, Dipper and Mira entered, though Mira was practically holding onto her brother's hand for dear life as they entered the restaurant. They found Gideon, sitting just in the center in the restaurant, they had approached him. Dipper got his attention when he cleared his throat. Gideon placed down the menu that he was looking through.
"Oh, Dipper and Mira Pines." Gideon said, "How are you? You both look good, you really do."
"Tha-Thank you." Mira said nervously, "Look, we need to talk about our sister Mabel."
"Really?" Gideon said curiously, "What's this about?"
"Okay, well… How can I put this delicately?" Dipper said, "The reason why Mabel is not here to join you tonight, is because… She doesn't want to see you anymore."
"Exactly like he said." Mira added, "She appreciates all that you're doing for her, but she would rather just stay as friends." They saw the look on Gideon's face. They couldn't really tell what his expression was exactly, but they could've sworn they saw his eye twitch.
"So… What you're saying is… The both of you, have come between us…" Gideon said.
"Umm…" Dipper said, "Just to check, you're not gonna freak out or anything are you?"
"Yeah, are you gonna be okay?" Mir asked a bit worried. Surprisingly enough, Gideon had replied with a smile on his face, "Of course not, these things happen!"
Dipper and Mira couldn't help but sigh with relief. "Okay, that's cool." Dipper said.
"Yeah, thank goodness." Mira said, "So again, we're really sorry."
"Yeah, we're sorry that we had to be the ones to tell you this." Dipper said before giving a thumbs up, "But, hey, thumbs up?" Thus they both backed up out of the restaurant of the Club. Though they failed to hear Gideon whisper, "Thumbs up indeed my friends."
They met Mabel just outside of the restaurant; she was just standing there twiddling her thumbs. She saw her two siblings come out of the Club. "You guys!" Mabel said, "How did it go? Was he mad? Did he try to read your minds with his psychic powers?"
"Mabel I wouldn't worry too much about it." Mira said, "He said he was surprisingly okay."
"Really?" Mabel said.
"Yeah." Dipper said, "Though I highly doubt that Gideon has psychic powers. Let's go home and call it a night."
-Gideon's House; Bedroom-
Gideon sat in front of the mirror of his room and was taking deep breaths; he felt anger boil in his blood after what had just happened tonight. "Dipper and Mira Pines…" Gideon said, "You don't know what you've done…"
He reached for amulet that was attached the bowtie; the minute he grabbed it the candle that sat on his dresser suddenly started to float, and the light bulbs around the mirror, just blew up. Other various objects in the room began to levitate.
"You two have just made the biggest mistake of your lives!"
He threw the objects in his room to the ground, letting them break apart. Just as this happened Bud had entered his room.
"Gideon Charles Gleeful, clean up your room this instant!" Bud said to him.
"I CAN BUY AND SELL YOU OLD MAN!" Gideon shouted to his father in a threatening tone.
Bud just stood there in silence at first before saying, "Fair enough." With that he exited the room and shut the door.
Gideon turned to a picture of the the Pine triplets; he had burned away Dipper and Mira leaving Mabel the only one within the photo.
