Dinner was more than awkward for the family having an empty seat knowing fully that the person who should be filling the seat was out of the house and might be in the middle of a violent attack against an innocent person which brought tension to the whole family, and made what little conversation they could make uncomfortable.
"Did you hear anything about Dipper?"
"No nothing the only phone call I've received is the one from the doctor other than that I've heard nothing" Mabel's father responded with before the room settled with an eerie silence, the only sound was the forks and knives starching on the plates, you could see by the faces on everyone in the room they were desperately trying to make any conversation even if it was the first thing that popped into their head.
"So Mabel I was just wondering something" her father suddenly chipped in making Mabel jump a little.
"Yeah dad?" Mabel responded her voice shaky.
"At school are people… Afraid of your brother?" he asked.
"I wouldn't know dad, all that I know is that half the school probably hate him the other half I would imagine feel sorry for him"
"And why would that be?"
"Well, we all know that he hasn't been himself lately and with kids around the school word travels around really fast" Mabel explained hoping that her parents understood her explanation of the situation.
"Do you think maybe I should set up a meeting with the principal or something? Just to explain some things so Dipper doesn't get expelled?" Mabel's mother asked not looking up from her plate of food.
"Doesn't hurt in trying" her father responded with his posture making it seem like he was going to leave the table at any second.
"Dad are you expecting a phone call or something?" Mabel asked her curiosity growing be the millisecond.
"I'm not" her father said back not turning his head to acknowledge her presence.
"Mabel your father is just very anxious at this moment" her mother said softly.
"Dipper?" Mabel asked though she was pretty assured as to what the answer would be but instead of a verbal response from her mother she simply nodded and went to picking at her food, and the kitchen around Mabel fell into silence the only sound Mabel heard from anyone was her father with an attention seeking sigh.
"Dad if you're going to say something just say it" Mabel blurted out catching the attention of both her parents.
"Mabel, it's nothing don't worry about it I'm just a little worried about your brother and where he is" her father replied with still paying close attention to the phone.
"Don't worry about him Dad I'm sure he's fine it's not like he's out attacking random people or getting arrested the phone will mostly stay silent for the rest of the night I bet you that" Mabel smiled at her father which created a nice moment in the household where everyone stopped worrying about Dipper.
Just then as everything was starting to feel normal once again the phone rang.
"I'll get it!" her father announced as he leapt from his seat and towards the phone.
"I jinxed it" Mabel said quietly under her breath as her father answered the phone.
All you could hear from the phone conversation was muffled voices from her father most likely trying to keep her from hearing what they were talking about, but you could hear his voice growing louder and you could hear a little distress through his muffled voice. He came back into the kitchen his face was clearly panicked and he could hardly stand still.
"What's wrong?" her mother asked standing up from the table and walking towards her husband with the intent to comfort him.
"It's Dipper, oh my lord I didn't think this would happen, I mean how could it?"
"Honey just calm down for a second and tell me" her mother reassured him Mabel's mother was always good at calming people down it was her hidden talent.
"Good now can you explain to me what happened with Dipper?" her mother said Mabel keeping a close ear on what her father would say.
"It's Dipper, he's at the police station."
"What why? What happened to him?"
"He's been arrested."
They quickly rushed down to the police station Mabel tagged along she just wanted to make sure Bipper hadn't said anything to strange while she was there but knowing him he'd probably freaked out every officer working there that evening, which would have been a ton of people to creep out but that seemed to be Bippers specialty. They were met be an officer who looked like some of the stuff Bipper said had got to him on a personal level, as her parents and the officer talked Mabel looked around the station looking for any sign of Bipper but the only thing she saw was more officers, at one point she was lucky enough to see someone in handcuffs which was a fascinating experience for her she had never really been to a police station well expect for the field trip she did but that was as a class this was her first time picking up someone from the station which was very nerve wreaking.
Her parents went to go and fill some paperwork with the officer and of course she was told to go sit down and wait so she did that. It was at this point she wished that she brought her phone with her, so she sat waited and listened in on the passing officers conversations which weren't as interesting as she hoped they would be maybe they would of talked about their latest adventure doing police stuff, but no it was all about the paperwork that's all she heard them talk about maybe Bipper was the most exciting thing that had happened for them but maybe not you get all sorts of delightful and quirky people arrested and they would have all sorts of stories to tell. Mabel quickly took her mind off Bipper and began to think of other things.
Before she knew it she quickly spotted her parents with Bipper who was looking much more clear headed, he was still unstable that was easy to tell but the chances of nearly dying at his hands seemed much more slim it was more like a 43% compared to the 86% before and that was a relief in Mabel's head she also noticed something a bit peculiar, the officer that was currently talking to her parents almost never broke eye contact with Bipper almost like he was expecting him to run away or something. When they finally broke away from the Officer Mabel's parents looked at Bipper with the strangest looks and all Mabel could do was look at Bipper when she finally snapped out of her daze she approached Bipper.
"What the heck did you do Bipper? You didn't kill anyone did you?"
"NO BUT I'LL TELL YOU THE STORY, IT ALL HAPPENED ABOUT TODAY AFTER YOU NEARLY DIED, BY THE WAY I WANT A REDO ON THAT."

EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OF I BET IT'S PRETTY TERRIBLE.
Story time with Bill has come to an end
(Onto the original story I was telling!)
"YEAH THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE STORY" Bipper said looking at his surroundings they were now in their parents' car driving home and all throughout the story Bipper was telling they keep curious looks and stared at them through the rear-view mirror. Mabel noticed Bippers eyes making it seem like the events happened years ago instead of earlier that day.
"Oh kayy then… great story Bipper you ever going to tell me the true version?" Mabel asked with a hint of playfulness in her tone.
"YOU REALLY THINK THERE WOULD BE A HINT OF TRUTH IN ANYTHING I SAY?" Bipper replied back holding a small smile.
"Well maybe everyone tells the truth even if accidentally, I'd like to think that anyway but knowing you the truth might be the only thing you've never said through that triangle-ly mouth of yours" Mabel muttered hoping that she would phase out of reality and ignore Bipper's words, which was easier said than done Bipper knew how to keep silence but if someone started the small talk first it was hard to get him to shut up.
"NOT A TRIANGLE I'M YOUR BROTHER" Bipper replied back cheerfully in a sing-song tone.
"Wow Dipper, you're back! I'm so glad it's you and not the tr-ow!" Mabel yelped feeling a sharp pain in her elbow, she looked towards the source of the pain she found Bipper drawing his hand away from her arm and drawing a wider grin like he just pulled the funniest practical joke in the world.
"Why'd you do that for it wasn't even that good" Mabel asked checking the mark she received on her arm.
"LIGHTEN UP SHOOTING STAR, I THOUGHT YOU WERE MORE FUN THEN THIS".
"yeah with people I like and not with people that you know try to kill me just earlier today and now wants to joke around" Mabel bluntly stated back ignoring all attempts of Bipper trying to catch her attention back, through means of stupid hand gestures and at one point he continuously poked the centre of her back which really made Mabel angry with him how long was this car ride anyway?
"I KNOW YOU'RE MAD WITH ME SHOOTING STAR" Bipper quietly shouted causing a shiver down Mabel's spine just the way he said it was super creepy.
"Why wouldn't I be mad with you Bipper?" Mabel shouted back at him all annoyances he created that day flowing through her and into that one sentence.
"WHOA RELAX KID, SHOUTING AT ME ISN'T THE ANSWER TO GETTING RID OF ME."
"How would you know anything anymore? You're just a boring human like the rest of us" Mabel snapped back hoping Bipper would just shut his mouth for once instead of having a comeback just waiting for her.
but to her surprise there was nothing just silence she looked up to the front seat where her parents were and they just looked at one another for a split second returning to their normal glances looking at nothing but the road ahead of them. Mabel quickly stopped staring at them they weren't going to say anything to her or Bipper for that matter she could tell they were too tired to say anything all anyone wanted to do was go home and get some rest.
Mabel's eyesight slowly crept up towards Bipper she was hesitant to look at him she was scared to what if he wanted to attack her again? She quickly shook that thought away she was Mabel Pines and she fought with gnomes she could do anything even if Dipper wasn't there so she quickly looked at Bipper expecting a horrifying and twisted look on his face but it wasn't that, it was creepy sure but it wasn't going to burn her eyeballs and keep her from sleep his smile dropped slightly but his eyes were big but it was like someone had slapped him across the face. But it was more like the Bipper reaction to being slapped Mabel had never got that reaction from Bipper, all she got was the getting punched in the face Bipper reaction which was her favorite reaction at of all of them. They finally arrived home after probably they longest car ride they've experienced, the family were just happy that they were unharmed from their sons' new-found violent behavior.
"Dipper you better grab something to eat, then it's off to bed I think everybody is too tired to do anything else." the twins mother expressed wearily while walking upstairs towards her bedroom.
Mabel on the other hand practically raced up to her room she wanted to at least seem like she was asleep before Bipper came in, she wasn't really in the mood to put up with his stupid attitude and insane words he spoke. She quickly ripped off her clothes and like the speed of light she placed on her nightshirt, she pounced onto her bed and turned her lamp off trying her best to look like she was asleep which was harder than she first thought. She noticed that quite some time went past and she still wasn't able to successfully fall asleep but she also noticed something else as every second went by. Bipper wasn't in the bedroom still after all this time, it was really weird even though Bipper didn't like sleeping at all he still did it and he got lots of it, this just wasn't like him. Mabel with Adrenalin pumping all throughout her body she shot up from her bed and grabbed her grappling hook and a flashlight just in case all the lights were out she didn't want her parents to know what she was up to, so in her best attempt to feel like a super secret agent she rolled towards the door and it was successful she felt super awesome after that, it was like she was chasing after a hardcore criminal.
She quickly deduced that Bipper was not upstairs, partly because it felt less creepy upstairs, another part of it being the mumbling she heard from downstairs. She slowly made her way down anxious of what she would find, but instead of the Bipper who was practically bouncing off the walls to attack her in any way she found him curled in a ball, knees up to his chin rocking himself at the foot of the stairs she also found a curious mark on his arm but it was to dark to see what it was, Mabel didn't want to turn on her flashlight because the state she found Bipper in just screamed,
"if I notice anything in here I will destroy it."
And it was just too terrifying for her mind to handle. She quickly made her way upstairs careful not to make a noise she made her way into her bedroom and rushed to hid under the covers and forget what she had just witnessed.
AN: So... taking everything into account i think this chapter is good? if you're reading this chapter then i guess you must enjoy it to some degree, or it could be so bad that it's funny it could just be that, a bad fan-fiction either way if it's good or bad i hope you enjoy it.
Until next time,
