So, it has been a pretty long while, since I have written anything in this diary, but that's not because anything had happened, but because it was a pretty stale week. Just a bit of casual government business we had to take care of. Nothing special, just discovering a top secret and heavily guarded classified information that has been buried for about a century. Forget about that. Today it's a more important day. Today was a great day (because it's around 11 PM now so there isn't much left) for two main reasons. First one is that I got a new pet pig, whose name is Waddles, that's now happily snoring near me in bed. The second one is that I got over Norman and found myself a new crush, somehow in this crazy day. Now let me change styles again and go over the events in chronological order (this dictionary is really heavy).

It began with Grunkle Stan asking us to go around the fair and stick some inspection certificates all over the fair he had rented for the week. It seemed like it was about to break down at every ride in the roller coaster, or the carousel, but who am I to judge? It was a…fairly fair fair (I know you love puns), with plenty of opportunities for social interactions, if you know what I mean. It was a perfect place for my two lovebirds to interact. But, I also enjoyed watching tourists trying to dunk Grunkle Stan, but little did they know the bullseye they tried shooting at was welded. It was a rip-off, but at least one person was happy. Now, returning to Dipper and Wendy. I couldn't help but giggle as they were speaking to each other and… laughing. Dipper was funny for once…maybe. She left to clean the mustard that has fallen on her shirt, leaving me with an opportunity to chat to my brother and see how things were going.

"Awww, look at you two, getting all romantic at the carnival."

"Ehh, it's no big deal," he tried to hide his excitement, but lying was not his forte.

"It is a big deal!" I said smiling.

"You're right! It is a big deal! I asked her to come to the fair with me and you know what she said? "Yeah, I guess so." All your advice worked out eventually!"

"Dipper, Dipper, Dipper,"I said using his usual condescending tone. "When are you going to learn that I am always right about everything?" I didn't feel any guilt for such a bold statement. But I couldn't tell him more because I was temporarily muted by the smell of a bucket of body spray. And we woke up with Robbie behind us.

"Any of you see Wendy around?

Of course, no one answered the confident zitty teenager, but Dipper couldn't help cracking wise:

"Yeah, I've seen her in the Bottomless Pit, maybe you should jump in after her."

"Oh, maybe…maybe I will, smart guy!"

He was as insupportable as someone could be, but I couldn't deny he may have more chances than Dipper had with Wendy. Still, I was supportive until I saw the cutest thing ever. Piglets! They were so cute as they rolled around in the mud, flopping their short, stubby legs in the air, it made me just "Awww" internally. The crowd was dense, and I didn't expect that there were actually people queuing up to get them. I recognized Pacifica in the line a couple of positions in front of me. By the time five people were left there was only one pig left. I considered myself unlucky, but decided to get closer to the sty and see the little piggies from up close. One of them even oinked my name! Or "doorbell". Mabel or doorbell.

"Wow, Mabel you've found your real twin?" Pacifica laughed as she backed away from the line, thinking I didn't see her buying the last piglet, the one who called my name.

Ugh, I wanted one of those so badly and seeing her leaving with the last cutie, not even winning it but buying it, made me both sad and mad. I wanted to forget about this as soon as possible, and the only way I could think of was with sugar-induced amnesia. So I grabbed some candy floss and started biting chunks of it slowly…

I could see Dipper and Wendy taking a shot at a carnival game. They were laughing, having a good time, until bad luck decided to crash the party… My clumsy little brother had managed to miss that stack of bottles so perfectly, that the ball decided to quit its job and just buy a vacation home on Wendy's eye. Desperate, he tried grabbing some ice from a bucket behind him, but he was so lost, that he bumped into some fat guy and dropped his pack… Robbie had gotten already to Wendy and I could see the last glimmer of hope from Dipper's eyes die out. He froze as his heart broke into many tiny pieces. I felt sad for him, and as I was already sad, this didn't help me much. However, I wasn't going to be sad for much longer, because I heard a familiar "Mabel" like oinking from behind me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I missed the fact that a person sat down next to me. I looked at him, and he looked at me. Suddenly, my mind farted and I made a silly face at him causing an explosion of laughter. I laughed alongside him, not knowing what to do, how to initiate a conversation now that I got his attention. Thankfully I didn't need to…

"I saw you in the line for that pig game. You seemed very disappointed you didn't get one, so I decided to get one for you."

"You didn't steal it, right?" I asked nervously, followed by a forced giggle. But my question remained, because as I remembered, it was Pacifica's piglet…

"No, I got it from an old friend, who owed me something. The deal was made under the condition that I shouldn't give this little guy to a girl named Mabel."

"Umm…" I pointed to my sweater, reading Mabel.

"Well, I will pretend I didn't see it," he answered to my disbelief with a friendly smile. "Here."

And he handed me the leash with the small piglet.

"Awww, he's so cute. I'mma call him Waddles! Because he WADDLES" I screamed out of joy, while shaking and hugging the small critter. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't notice the friendly guy leaving and he would've almost vanished without a trace, if I wouldn't see him bumping into the same fat guy from earlier, who gave him a very threatening glare…

"Wait! Why did you do this? Who are you?"

"I like seeing people happy. My name is Tobias and I guess I'll see you around."

Oh, no, you won't see me around, because I will seek you… That didn't come out as I wanted it to. But enough of him, for the moment, apart from the obvious statement that he will be my boyfriend, because I will fight for his affection. Now, to focus on my little bro's broken heart. Maybe my new companion will help.

"Dr. Waddles preparing to mend a broken heart. Begin operation, doc!" I tried to cheer him up, but he answered with a very pathetic "ugh". Obviously since I am not giving up that easily, I pushed a bit further and then…

"Do you ever want to turn back in time and fix one mistake? Just one little thing?"

"No, I always do things right in the first place. Why?"

"Well, Wendy went out with Robbie, because he had ice and I would have had ice too, if it weren't for THAT GUY!" he yelled pointing out the same fat man as earlier.

"Huh?" the man in question replied.

"Don't huh me what's your deal? Are you following us around?"

"And…and why are you bald? Yeah, what's with that?" I tried to continue his argument.

"Uh…uh… Position compromised. Engaging stealth protocol," he shouted trying to blend in, his gray skintight suit changing colors randomly. "Uh, COLOR MATCH! Initiating color match!" he then continued trying to fix his strange watch with a screwdriver.

"Woah, you from the future or something?" I asked trying to learn more about this interesting character.

"Uh…Uh…Memory Wipe!" he mumbled nervously throwing a baby wipe in my face.

"Wrong kind of wipe." Dipper said, momentarily forgetting his anger, looking like he realized something.

"Uh…Uh," he was a very nervous man, based on this tell of his. "Fine, you caught me, I'm a time traveler."

"So…you have a time machine?" Call me stupid, but I didn't know where he was going at…

"That's pretty much, how it works, you know?"

Only when I saw him looking at Wendy and Robbie in the Ferris wheel, I got what my little brother wanted…

"Can I borrow it?"

"Absolutely not! It's a very sensible piece of equipment that can cause more harm than you can imagine!"

"I don't buy it, man, you must be crazy." Dipper tested his nerves in a way that could only lead to him foolishly proving his device's capacity?

"Oh, that so?" He pulled his small tape measure and disappeared before our very eyes, only to reappear seconds later in some old fashioned, conquistador clothes.

"Wow!" we both exclaimed, our mouths falling open.

"Yes, that's right…"

"Yeah, yeah we know, amazing. Now Mr.…"

"Blendin Blandin."

"Right. You look tired. How about you take a break from all of your time travelling and lay down a bit?"

So, Dipper was desperate enough to trick a man from the future, into giving him his time machine and go back in time to fix his Wendy problem. How remarkably cute. But he should be careful. These people are a lot more smart, more agile and tricky to fool. I think that finally Dipper has found his match in both intellect and slyness…

"You realize what we can do with this, Mabel?"

"Create time paradoxes like none could imagine?"

"No, that guy kinda freaked me out. He is here to sort out something I guess, so we better not cause any harm. What I am gonna do, though, is just go back in time and repair my mistake. I will make myself not miss that throw. No miss means no black eye which means no ice and most important of all, no Robbie."

"I'll come too. I wanna relive the best moment of my life!" I said regretting my decision afterwards.

"Winning Waddles?"

"Sure… winning Waddles," I said blushing.

"See you later, I guess."

"More like see you earlier."

He pulled the tape measurer and in the blink of an eye we were in the Shack again, but one significant difference. Outside the sun was shining brighter than ever. It wasn't evening anymore, but noon.

"It's 12 o'clock and the dunk tank is open! Come and dunk me folks!" Grunkle Stan's amplified voice broke the silence

"Wow… It worked! Holy… Well, Mabel, see you around here," Dipper said amazed, but quickly recollecting his thoughts and heading off to relive his day

"Ok then," I waved him goodbye. "Now off to the pigsty we go!"

Now it shouldn't be surprising that the same things happened. Absolutely no exception. And the way I was feeling didn't change one bit… It was superb, going again through the same emotion, I can't say I ever felt in my life. I knew someone, not forced, not family, cared for my happiness and well-being. I was just saying my final goodbyes when Dipper came to me with a face that didn't say success as much as it said my puppy is dead.

"Didn't do it, huh?"

"I missed. Again! How am I so clumsy? Can I not concentrate for one simple throw?" Dipper was pretty enraged, but thankfully, he had remembered that we still had the time machine

"I would think it's spooky. Maybe it's some sort of time-paradox. Can you say "time paradox", Waddles?" I couldn't get over my little pig's cuteness, so I hugged him so much, but no regrets.

"Maybe, a force of bigger proportion is conspiring against me, but no…it can't be. You know what, I've got to try again…yeah. Third time's the charm."

"Dooooo-Over," I yelled trying to lift our spirits. And they indeed had to be lifted…

I think it was about the tenth time in, when Dipper finally succumbed to his old passion. Maths. I was surprised that we hadn't heard from our beloved neighbor, the Note Guy. I unfortunately spoke too soon, as I noticed the small piece of paper behind Dipper's calculus. It was short this time… It read: "Your brother isn't always right. Don't trust him or you'll be hurt." Yeah. Sure…

"That's it!" Dipper exclaimed." I finally got it, the variable that was missing. Haha, I can't believe how easy it was."

"Great job, Dipper, now I am gonna go win my pig," I lied, knowing where I was heading.

"Woah, woah there. You can't go, I need you for my plan."

He needed me. To raise a pipe. Not something that he could've put someone else to do, but who am I to judge? Things turned out for the better. He got his perfect shot alas and I was happy to see him happy. Now off to the pigst… It was empty. I couldn't see my cute pig, nor my cute boy nowhere. That was until I heard a sorrowful and fearful squeal coming from nearby. It was Pacifica, with Waddles on a leash. And she was speaking with… what was his name again. DETAILS! What mattered now is that the timeline was screwed up badly and I lost my perfect pig pet and beautiful boy (alliterations pop out of me when I am stressed!) I couldn't leave this situation broken up and gravely derailed. I was so afraid that this was going to become canonic future, that I ran screaming towards the Love Tunnel to get the time machine and un-unfix whatever went wrong…

Dipper calmly waited for me to stop screaming. It took a while.

"You done?"

"I am done. Dipper we screwed up badly! Pacifica saw the flyer first and now she got…Waddles! Gimme that, I will repair this." I tried reaching for the tape measurer, but Dipper held back.

"Mabel, wait!" he shouted. "I did the math, and…however I looked at it, this was the only way Wendy doesn't go out with Robbie."

"Yeah, but this way Pacifica gets the guy…I mean Waddles!"

With this last desperate statement, I forcibly grabbed the time machine from him, but he didn't let go. A car came by and, after I was shoved so I wouldn't turn back time, the tip of the tape measurer got stuck in the door. After winding up for a long time, he wiggled it out, but we suddenly jumped out of our timeline. We ended up stranded on a dirty path.

"When are we?" Dipper asked.

"You mean… when. Oh."

"Yeah, beat you to it."

"Seems fair, seems fair."

The earth began to shake as a clopping sound grew stronger and stronger with the approach of a big dust cloud.

"What's that?"

"Oh, no, Mabel RUN!"

I didn't know what it was, but I trusted Dipper's instincts this time. We barely outran what I can only describe as a buffalo stampede, but in our mad rush, we fell off a cliff! Don't worry, we landed safely on a passing caravan, whose bags of flour cushioned our fall.

"What is this?" I asked confused… I couldn't hear a clear answer, but outside a group of people mumbled something inaudible for me. Dipper glared at me, telling me exactly how far back I sent us.

"You sent us back 150 years, genius! These people are on the Oregon trail!"

"Can't you send us back to the future?"

"Just gimme the time machine! I'll fix this!"

I don't know what possessed me to not leave him be. It was maybe the anger resulted from losing something I cared about. It may have been his selfishness and hypocrisy as he claimed that I can't mess with the past, when I told the kids inside the cart about my braces. The result was however, us teleporting between the hungry jaws of a dinosaur. Frantically pressing the buttons, we blinked through diverse periods of time. Of course, we fought over supremacy through different places we had been to already. The distant future, the lake at the time of the fishing contest, the shack during the gnome situation, some sort of wintery version of the Falls… After a few more blinks, the little dingy started to glow and became hotter and hotter.

"Wow, what's happening? Hot! Hot! HOT! "

"What did you do?"

"I don't know!"

Suddenly a flash of light emitted and we recovered from our shock in a dark, damp place.

"When did you send us?" I asked?

"YOU," he accentuated my fault," have sent us to the end of time.

We both screamed our lungs out, until I realized something was not at its place… It smelled horribly in here. I flailed my arms a bit and found a door knob, which I turned to reveal that we were stuck in the porta potty at the mystery fair.

"We're in the present!" I exclaimed relieved.

"But which present?" Dipper asked.

Well, two hints gave it away. Dipper saw Wendy with her prize and I saw my pig struggling to get away from the horrendous show I mentioned earlier. We both exclaimed our appropriate answer to this situation, but I broke down faster than him. I chased him for a bit, until he magically disappeared, only to reappear on top of the toilet…

"Look, give it up, Mabel. I've worked too hard to lose this! Besides, do you really want Wendy to date Robbie?"

"I… I don't know…"

I couldn't think of anything else to say. I was sad and depressed because I lost something resembling a soulmate. I may have said that about a ball of yarn, once but that doesn't make this not true… I wasn't able to be rational anymore. All I felt like was banging my head on something… Dipper mumbled something unintelligible to my anguish filled ears, then disappeared… It was for a moment that my emotion amplified, but then…with a miracle, it all vanished. I don't know what happened, and I don't want to know, because waking up in the middle of the fair, before everything went down the toilet was unbelievable. However, as before I didn't know what present I was in… I went to the pigsty as usual, to find the same familiar line… It was a different timeline after all, because everything turned out as it should've not as Dipper intended. I rushed to his game, after my "job" was done, to find him throwing the ball, knowing that he will miss. The ball recoiled, hit Wendy, Robbie came, asked her out. I couldn't express my happiness in words, so I hoped actions would speak for themselves. I ran to him, and hugged him, while yelling "Thank you!"( I know, "thank you" are words).

"Well, I couldn't leave you broken hearted, with roots climbing on top of you, could I?"

I noticed him looking at Wendy and Robbie laughing, and I couldn't help but empathize…Then something popped into my head…

"Waddles, attack!" I slapped his butt and showed him Robbie, and the cute little pig, attacked the teenager, eating his caramel apple, that he tried feeding to Wendy. Now, trying to get his revenge, he tried chasing my piglet, but he knocked over a bucket of hot water, causing his tight jeans to grow tighter compressing his legs in a deadly grip.

"Thanks, sis."

"Least I could do, bro."

It was a cool day overall at the fair. Well, about two dozen of them, but still a nice day. I learnt something important today. Dipper really cares about me, although he rarely shows it. Now I hope, that my dreams aren't going to be infected by the same ominous presence…

You know what this is, so I am not even going to bother to set it up. This time it was a simple monologue, same setting as before.

"You've met a lot of new people, so far. Some of them toy with powers you can't imagine. Some are nice, some are evil, some are open, and some are hiding things. Be careful with whom you ally yourself. Be careful who you trust…Be careful…" and he vanished without a trace…
