A/N: Sorry it's later than usual...

Soos sat in the chair that Pacifica had sat in. He never thought he would see Mabel like this.

"So..."

Mabel just laid there still and silent. The only sounds in the room were the machines that were hooked up to Mabel.

Soos just sat there as still as Mabel was. Every time he tried to say something, he would remember that she couldn't reply. So he just sat there staring at her. Then he heard yelling and screaming outside. The man-child thought it was some maniac outside so he locked the door and closed the curtain.

As he sat down again, he saw Mabel's hand move. "Mabel?"

She replied with a small smile. Since she could barely move, looked as if she were going to puke. Soos knew it was a smile.

He told her a couple of jokes he heard at the arcade and what it is like to be inside a video game.

"So then when someone tried to put their coin in the slot, it would go in my shoe. That was like the only good part of being in a video game."

She did the puke face again. This time she tried to laugh but just made a choking noise.

"I know, hilarious right?"

The twelve-year old girl blinked.

"Cool! You're responding! Well since you're responding, let me tell you this really funny story. So what happened is..."


Gideon laid down in his bed feeling guilty about everything. Will she die? She can't die now! I'm not old enough to marry yet!

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Hello? Gideon? Are you there?"

"Come in!"

His father, Bud Gleeful, came in with a disappointed look in his face. "Umm, Gideon? Son? I have a question for you."

Gideon knew it would be something about Mabel and what happened. "Ask away."

"Well, Stanford Pines called to tell me that you have done something horribly wrong to that little Pines girl, uh, Meredith."

"Mabel."

"Yeah, Mabel. She is in the hospital now. What did you do to her?"

"Long story. Just ask me tomorrow. I've had a long day."

"Gideon Gleeful, do not give me that kind of attitude. I need to know now what happened. Now."

"Fine. So there I was, walking down the street to the Mystery Shack, when..."


"Wasn't that hilarious?"

Mabel "laughed."

Soos laughed with her. Then there was a knock on the door. "Come in!"

It was Dipper to tell Soos that time was up. "Okay then. Bye Mabel!" With that said, Soos went out to the waiting room. Dipper took a look at her sister. He sighed. "Oh Mabel."

As Soos came out, he saw two people he had never seen before, or at least he thought. The woman had brown hair and brown eyes. So did her husband. They kind of resembled someone they knew. Or did someone resemble them?

"Um, hello Mr. and Mrs..." Soos waited to hear their names.

"Pines. Mr. and Mrs. Pines."

A/N: I'm so sorry it's later than usual. Hope you enjoyed! P.S. I'm just going to make up names for Mr. and Mrs. Pines.
