After the police took her statement she was subjected to a rape kit and mandated therapy. She shouldn't complain, this was her bright idea after all. Yet she couldn't help but feel that this was all too much, the doctor had said that she had to stay in hospital since they still had to run some tests, he had said that it was probably the safest place for her ask well. Despite this he said that she could leave the hospital grounds for a few hours, her family had tried to take her out but she had eventually stopped going, They only phyco-analysed her.
So maybe that's she was surprised when Wendy said that she had to get up and come for a walk. With the tone in Wendy's voice, she didn't argue. So she got her clothes, signed out for the day and followed Wendy to the car. Wendy took her to a field, she was surprised to find Soos there but even more surprised to find her beloved pig.
"Waddles!" she yelled in delight. The pig ran forward and Mabel picked it up and swung it around
"Oh I missed you!." Due to Shawn's insistence she had given Waddles to Soos last year, everyone had asked her why, she just said that she hadn't the time to care for her beloved pig and it wasn't fair on him.
She sat on the field with Soos as Wendy went to a nearby shop to get drinks.
"Hey Mabel?" she hummed. Soos squirmed slightly
"Is there anything you wannna talk about, maybe that's not Shawn related?" Mabel looked up at the man child.
"You don't wannna know about him?" Soos shook his hand.
"Look I know I act like I giant kid but your situation is…. Well serious dude and, well its part of mine and Wendy's plan. We wanted to see you and make sure you were okay but we also figured that you have to constantly talk about it and well… we wanted to give you a break." Mabel smiled, finally someone understood that she was feeling trapped.
"I uh… I don't really know. Pretty much everything that's happened in my life has to do with him, why don't you tell my about you?" and that's how Soos got onto the topic of someone trying to rob her Grunkle Stan. Mabel burst out laughing and that's how Wendy found her five minutes later, gasping her stomach, laughing. She smiled and sat down.
They spent the next three hours talking about trivial things and playing games. Unfortunately when the two adults took Mabel back they found her Grunkle stood there tapping his foot.
"Do you understand how worried I was when the hospital rang and said two people had signed her out!" the two employees stood there in silent shame. Grunkle Stan began yelling at them until he heard a sound he hadn't heard in a while. Mabel laughing. When she saw her Grunkle she pulled him into a hug.
"Grunkle Stan I had the best day ever, Soos brought Waddles and all four of us including Wendy spent the day playing games. She told me the story of the guy that tried to rob you, my god I never laughed so hard. Then before we came here I got cotton candy, I've not had cotton candy in ages Grunkle Stan. Oh, oh next time you take me out can we get cotton candy oh and maybe hotdogs?." Stan felt his anger fade at the excitement in his great nieces voice, it seemed like his employees had finally brought her back. he looked at them
"Thank you" he said gratefully before Mabel dragged him to her hotel room after shouting a goodbye to Wendy and Soos. It looked like the two had finally found a dent in her armour, maybe the Mabel they knew would shine through once again.
