Hey guys! Thanks for the positive reviews in Chapter 8. I kept my promise to not update as late as the other chapter. This chapter will lead into some future events that will happen, and...that's all I'm gonna say for now. You gotta read the story to find out. Anyways, enough said, lets get a move on with Chapter 9 of Alternate Universe

Chapter 9: Experiences

Location: Sllaf Ytivarg

Mabel's POV:

"So, what will it be Mabel? Will you choose to help me defeat Llib Rehpic, along with the Brightness and save my sister, in exchange for you to go back home?" Reppid asked me standing next to Mailliw with his hands crossed against his chest. Everything to me seemed to be happening very quickly; one minute, I'm being forced to help him, and the next, I'm getting the oppertunity to make a decision? Reppid is so hard to follow, but so is Dipper (sometimes).

Dipper

Thinking about Dipper made a thought occur to me and so I questioned myself; If I help Reppid, and I do get back home, would Dipper even care that I'm alive? Is he even trying to find me? Does he hate me and wishes I was never his sister? I think questioning myself was a bad choice since I found myself crying slightly. If I did make it back home, I really don't want to get into an argument with Dipper. He probably thinks that I betrayed him because I didn't listen to him and chose to listen to Grunkle Stan. Dipper usally has well thought out plans and theroies, but the look in Grunkle Stan's eyes made me believe that he was telling the truth. Usually I listen to Dipper, but I decided to listen to Grunkle Stan. I may never know what happened back in Gravity Falls if I never get back home. After thinking about it for several minutes, I came up with an answer for Reppid.

"No." I replied, trying not to show a smile. Both Mailliw and Reppid's reactions seemed humorous to me; they literally jumped in shock when I said "no", and their eyes almost shot out of their heads. They looked like cartoon characters in a way.

"What?!" They both shouted back in unison. I couldn't help it anymore; my bright, metallic smile was appearing on my face, and no matter how many times I tried to hide it, it showed as big and bright. I then find myself on my knees and then on the floor laughing my butt off. I couldn't get their reactions out of my head. Reppid was staring at me in a weird way, not understanding why I was laughing. Fortunately, I hear laughter coming out from Mailliw; I think he's laughing because I'm laughing. I then hear a big collapse come from him, and the room was filled with laughter. I hear Reppid complaining through lulls of the cackiling: "What's so funny? Get a grip! This is not a funny matter!" You would think that our chuckling battles would be put to ease by now, but Reppid's puberty voice only made it ten times more hilarous than earlier. Finally, after calming down and catching my breath, I sit up and he's giving me a "What is happening" look.

"I'm just joking Reppid. Of course I'll help." I reply. I see him give out a sigh of relief and he approaches me and sticks out his hand for me to grab. I do so, and he hoists me up back in a standing position. "Boy, you really got me there for a second." He states.

"I found extremely funny how you acted just like my brother, Dipper." I state, but quickly put my hands over my mouth: "Don't question that! Don't question that! Don't-" "You have a brother?" He asks me. "You questioned it. Dangit!"

"Well...yeah. Twin brother actually." "Why do I keep saying stuff about him?! Shut it Mabel!"

"Twin? I didn't know you had a twin brother. Then again, you calling me "Dipper" back down there really should have given it away. Why didn't you tell me that you had a brother?" Reppid asks a little concerned or a little annoyed. Maybe both; I'm not sure. I really didn't want to go into detail with Reppid about Dipper, but since he looked so much like him, I decided to let it out.

"I don't know. I guess I didn't want to share anything about him. I know how hard it was for you to talk about your twin sister, so I decided to keep my mouth shut about my brother. Besides, he probably hates me." I admit. Reppid looks very surprised that I would say such a thing. He see's a tear escape from my eye so he guides me over towards a couch where Mailliw was sitting after his laughing fit. He sits me down so I'm in the middle, and Mailliw hands me a tissue. I thank him as I dry my eyes. The next thing I know, Reppid asks me why I would think something like that. If I said "No reason", he'd be bugging me about it until I crack. There was no point to hide my emotions now, so I guess now is a better time then ever to talk about it.

"Well, remember when I told you that I got here through a portal?" I ask him. He thinks for a moment and nods back to me in response. "Here we go." I think to myself before I continue on.

"Okay, well we were in the final seconds of an anomaly attack before the universe would be doomed. I was close to the switch and I had to make a big decision; whether or not to hit the switch or leave it on. Dipper tells me to shut it down, where as my Grunkle tells me to leave it on. I decided to listen to my Great Uncle because I felt that he was telling the truth. Dipper got mad at me and said: "Mabel are you crazy!? We're all gonna-". And now...here I am." I explain, feeling the tears fall down my face and my stomach twisting in knots. I feel Mailliw wrap an arm around my shoulder, and Reppid handing me another tissue. Feeling slightly better, I continue on. "I'm afraid that if I ever make it back home in one piece, my brother is gonna hate me for the rest of my life, and he'll give me the cold shoulder; and all because I didn't press that stupid red button! Now, I don't even know if they made it through the blast, if all of humanity is wiped out of the town, or if they did make it through, and they're trying to find me. But now that I think of it, my brother's probably too upset with me to even try to save me." I conclude with heavy sobs coming out.

I feel Mailliw rub my shoulder as an act to comfort me through my distress. It's working, but not as much. I know that's bad to think that my own twin won't try to find me, but it's a possibility that he doesn't have it in his heart to save me. He's probably too angry and paranoid to do anything with me. Maybe I'll just remain here for the rest of my life and join the resistance-thing-a-ma-jig with Reppid.

"Mabel..." I hear Reppid begin, but I don't look at him right away. "You shouldn't think that way about your brother." He says, which grabs my attention. I look up at him, teary-eyed as he places a hand on my free shoulder.

"I shouldn't?" I reply with my voice squeaking in the process due to my crying.

"No. Dipper's probably searching the ends of the world to find you. So, you didn't press the button and you didn't listen to him. Big woop. Twins usually look after one another, and they care about each other endlessly. Just because Dipper is/was mad at you, doesn't mean he's not gonna try and save you. Your his twin; his built in best friend. He won't give you the cold shoulder; he loves you too much." Reppid explains thoroughly. Boy, even though he's my twins' doppleganger, he's pretty good with playing the comforting card. He must have a lot of pratice whenever my doppleganger is hurt or distraught. I still have a little guilt that Dipper won't come, but Reppid put my mind at ease really well. I thank Reppid, and after a short period of time, he squeezes my shoulder and then get's up. "Keep thinking positive thoughts." He tells me. I smile at him as he walks over towards the entrance of the cave.

Suddenly, I hear a beeping noise; almost as if an alarm is going off. I see Reppid looking at his tracking device, and then, very distinctively, I hear: "Oh no. It's...happening." Without time to question what seemed the matter, Reppid and Mailliw tackle me down to the ground. "What the heck is going on?" I think to myself.

"Stay down, and don't try to move a muscle." Mailliw explains. "WHAT!?" I question in my mind, but suddenly, I feel my body become extremely stiff and sore, as if a 3,000 pound Sumo Wrestler is sitting on top of me, waiting for me to tap out. I'm unable to scream out in pain; even moving my mouth is a challenge. Aches in my body continue to increase as each second ticked by. I have no idea what seems to be happening, until I remember what Reppid told me earlier today; anomalies occur every hour...and this was one of them. If I had to choose between this anomaly or the other, I'd pick the one back in Gravity Falls. At least there, I had somewhat control of my body.

After two minutes or so, I hear the same beeping noise again, and in a blink of an eye, the regular gravity was restored back to its rightful place. All three of us stand up and crack every bone in our body to get the stiffness out. This was a terrible experience I just lived through, and I'm hoping I don't have to go through any more of those. Reppid looks at both Mailliw and I, giving us a look to see if we're okay; especially me since this was my first experience. Mailliw and I both nod back to him, as we look around his little lab. Some of the devices have recieved minimal damage to their exterior parts, and some screens were out of service.

"Oh, just great!" I hear Reppid say to himself, and then he looks at me. "Mabel, can you help me repair some of this stuff?" He asks. I was unsure at the moment since I'm not so good with wires and tools in general. The only thing I'm good at is knitting, and putting together scrapbooks. Well, there are other things I'm good at, but wires? No way. Reluntantly, I agree to help Reppid and we waste no time going right to work.

Before we started though, Mailliw states that he has to run out for a few minutes. I don't bother to ask him where he was planning to go, but I'm sure that it's not that important. If he's willing to share, then I'll know, but I didn't want to waste Reppid's time fixing the devices.


Mailliw's POV:

Mabel Pines agreed to help Reppid Senip defeat Llib Rehpic in order to save his sister. She also just witnessed her first gravity anomaly in Sllaf Ytivarg. Not to mention the fact that I learned that she has a twin brother of her own. I had to report everything I'd learned so far about this girl, so I'm hoping that he will be willing enough to listen to me. However, that all depended if he was in a good mood.

I run from Reppid's lab, through the streets of the town, and then run up a huge moutain ledge where he sat there on his throne, waiting for something to happen. He seemed rather bored than usual, but he perked up when I entered the ledge and bowed before him.

"Sire" I began, with my head downwards, facing the floor. I hear two taps as an order to proceed my statement. "Shooting Star has arrived and she's planning to help Enip Eert free his sister." I conclude.

Llib Rehpic arises from his throne and approaches me; tapping me on my head like a dog. "Very well. It's time to proceed." He replies to my statement as he manuvers away from me and floats towards the edge of his moutain ledge, looking out at the town, and thinking evil thoughts.
