"Dip, I'm tired" "I know Mab, but its only two more miles, we can make". Dipper grabs Mabel's hand and pulls gently "we can make it" he begs her. 'we can make it' he thinks to himself. After half a mile Mabel stumbles and falls into a grassy patch beside the road "Dipper I can't keep going, can't we just stop for a minute? I know you're tired too" her eyes lock with his, pleadingly. Dippers rubs the back of his neck "no, we need to keep moving, just trust me" Mabel's head lulls to one side she and flops into the grass, face pointed down. "Mabel came on we you can't do this now" "No, I'm not going anywhere until you explain why we have walked for five days, why we had to leave without telling mom or dad where we are going, why we had to spend two extra days stuck in some dead beat town and beg for money at the bus stop, you're going to explain every one of these things and your going to explain it now!" her voice is muffled. Dipper closed his eyes, took off his hat, and ran his hand through his matted hair "Mabel, I wish that I could tell you everything but I can't right now. When we get to where we are going, it will all make sense and you will understand why I've been so secretive when we get there."
Dipper opened his eyes; Mabel was still lying face down and not moving "Dipper, please just a little hint?" Mabel pleaded "when we get to where it is we need to go". Dipper explained exasperated, Mabel suddenly shot up and was noise to eyes with her twin "Dipper! I have fought monster, demons, and crazy psychics with you and I have almost never complained, but know when I need to know the most you just push me off like I'm just some stupid little kid or something! Tell me now where we are going, or else I'm turning around and going home!" she stamped her foot on the last word, Dipper put his head in his hands, turned and walked a few paces away and stood muttering to himself. Mabel tried to stand firm and look angry but as she watched her brother just stand in one spot and mutter she got nervous and thought that maybe she had been to hard on him.
Dipper felt anger welling inside him, he felt like his head was going to burst open in a hail of fiery gray matter, his mind swirled ideas flowed though his head that no sane person would think of. He felt like screaming, he felt like yelling, he felt like hurting and killing "Dip…" Dipper felt a hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry if I made you angry, I just feel like there's been something off with you for a while and I just wanted to know if… if has something to do with Bill or the Falls or our nightmares ". Dipper shifted his head slightly to see his sisters face, she was looking at him with deep concern in her eyes, he straitened and, rubbed his eyes and forced a weary smile "you did make me mad Mabel but I guess that you had to, to get me to stop acting stupid" Mabel smiled "it does have something with our nightmares, and Bill, and the Falls but that is all I can say for now. I'm sorry for not saying anything before but if I tell you too much too soon I could put you into more danger then have ever been in. I was just trying to keep you safe." Mabel felt Dipper's arm wrap around her shoulders, he pulled her close and his hand closed tightly on her other arm "I couldn't imagine losing you" He murmured into her shoulder. Then he pulled back, eyes shining slightly from the sunlight piercing tough trees and glinting off small tears forming in the sides of his eyes Mabel reached to wipe them away but he turned and kept walking. After another hour of walking Mabel can make out a familiar dark shape standing above the tree tops. As she gets closer she can see that it is a water tower, with and muffin that looks like an explosion spray painted on the side.
