A/N: Hey people! Sorry it's been like a week since I last updated, I just had to go back to school this week. Halloween was fun. I got to spend a lot of time with my friends. Anyway, this story is almost done. I just need this chapter and possibly two more. I don't know if I'll have to split this chapter in half, but then I have the epilogue. I will be starting on my next story soon. I don't know exactly when; it might be this weekend if I have time and if I can think of a way to start it. I also have finals week and thanksgiving break coming up so I'll get a lot of time to read and write fanfiction, and spend time on other internet sites. Any who, this chapter is very important. This chapter is pretty much the end of the story and you finally get to see if Mabel is alive or not. Enough of me. People of , I give you the almost final chapter of the story "Just Like a Purple Sky"

Chapter 10

~Dipper's POV~

I started to panic at first. I thought this time it really was the end. Mabel's heart rate had increased and so had her breathing. I thought she was just getting ready to die. I had to get my parents to see this. Whatever it was, I know for a fact they would want to see it.

I ran out to get them. I was freaked out and had trouble opening the door. It seemed like it took forever to get to them, but I finally did, "Mom, Dad, get in here you need to see what's going on!"

They looked at me confused, but they must've noticed my panic because they came in almost immediately. When I turned around to look at Mabel, something was different. I didn't know what it was, but I felt peaceful. I felt like bawling like a little baby. There was so much I wanted to do that I just couldn't do. My parents were in just as much shock. None of us thought it would happen, but it did. I walked up to the bed to see your closed eyes. I had gotten there in just enough time to see them finally open. There they were. The eyes I thought I would never see again. I was shaking so much. I couldn't believe it! You were finally awake. Our parents had the same reaction. I could tell they were finally relieved to see you… awake.

"Mabel?" I said in a quiet whisper. "Mabel, are you still there?"

Her head turned slowly towards me. She was still very weak, but she was alive. That's all I cared about. "D—D—Dipper?"

I finally saw it. I saw Mabel again. Not just the physical her, but the real her deep down inside. The Mabel I've known all these years. The Mabel I wanted to see. Young, carefree, innocent, sweet Mabel. I wanted to jump around and yell out for everyone to her. I wanted to let everyone know that Mabel is back. That my sanity is finally back! Oh, I couldn't do anything knowing my sister was dying, but now I could do anything because she was here! I wanted to do so much, but I had to stay calm. I didn't want to stress Mabel back into a coma.

"Mabel…" I responded to her.

"W—What happened? Why are you guys so freaky? Why am I here? I can't remember anything," Mabel asked with a very weak, quiet voice.

"You tried to commit suicide and you went into a coma but you're okay now so everything is okay!" I was talking way to fast. I don't think Mabel understood exactly what I said. She looked at me with that tired gaze.

"O…kay," her voice was still very sweet. Although I missed her optimistic, loud voice, I was still happy to hear her talk.

"Mabel, you really are awake," our mom said, about to cry tears of joy. She pulled Mabel into a tight hug. "My little girl is finally awake! I missed you so much sweetie! Please never do that again! I don't want to go through that again!"

Mabel was still confused, but she promised mom that she would never do it again. Poor Mabel. She doesn't even remember why she is here. I guess I'll have to tell her the story, but I'll wait for her to recover a little more. She's still weak from her coma. She's probably still in a sleep zone, and not fully awake yet. I'll wait. Now it's just a matter of time until Mabel is ready to hear everything that has happened while she was in a deep sleep.


~Mabel's POV~

When I woke up, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Everyone acted like they hadn't seen me in months. I could hardly remember anything. I remembered my family and everything, but I didn't know what happened. One minute I black out, the next I'm here with a frantic family. What happened? Why was it such a big deal? How did I get here? How long was I out for? I wanted to know, but had almost no energy to ask. I was so tired. And confused.

The doctor came in about fifteen minutes after I woke up from whatever it was. That was the only thing I remembered for the past… I don't know how long. All I could remember was sleep and blackness. The doctor came in and was surprised I was awake, but also seemed relieved. He told my parents that I had to stay here for a few days to make a decent recovery. I didn't want to stay here, but every time I tried to get up, my head started throbbing. I guess it is better for me to stay here for a while.

Dipper was by far the happiest of everyone. He would always be there when I fell asleep, and was always there when I woke up. He never left my side those few days.

After two days, I was feeling better. I was able to stay awake longer, and sit up for short periods of time without my head killing me. It was then that I asked Dipper what happened. We were sitting in the room and he was talking to me about some weird experiences that he had while I was gone. We shared a few laughs and he smiled. I've never seen him smile like that before. It was so big and bright. I've never in my entire life seen him so happy.

"Dipper?" I said.

"Yeah Mabel?" he responded.

"What happened? Why am I here? Why were you guys so happy when I woke up? Was I out for very long?" when I said that the beautiful smile on his face disappeared. He had been holding this in for a while now.

"Mabel, that's a long story. I don't really want to have to tell it, but you deserve to know," he told me. He was in pain. I knew that moment when he had to tell me this, was going to be in vain for both of us, "Before any of this happened, you—you were acting strange. Like everything was meaningless to you. One day, you went out for a walk and you came back crying. I wanted to know what was going on, but you refused to tell me," he stopped for a second. He was having a very hard time telling me this.

"I started to worry about you. I didn't know what you were planning on doing until I felt it. I didn't know exactly what you were doing, but I knew I had to find you and stop you. By the time I got there, it was too late. You had—" he stopped to take a deep breath, "you had already committed—committed s—su—suicide."

"I what?" What was it I did? This isn't right. Is it?

"Yeah. I know. I was shocked too. But it was true. The ambulance came and brought you here. Where mom, dad, and I waited her for two weeks. Hear me Mabel? Two weeks! Two weeks we waited for you to wake up! We all lost it! Mom cried those two weeks, Dad was trying to sue the town, and I—I lost all the sanity I had!" he was going mad. I can't imagine how he felt those two weeks. He calmed down and continued, "I tried to do something horrible Mabel. Something I thought you would want me to do, but Wendy told me this isn't what you would want."

"Dipper, please, just calm down. I'm fine now. You don't need to freak out about this. What do you mean two weeks? What happened to me? And what was it that you almost did?" I asked him trying to calm him down. It was working… a little bit.

"You were in a coma. They said you were lucky to be in a coma, but they didn't know if or when you would wake up. That's why I was so scared those two weeks. About a week and a half later, I had gone so mad I tried to hurt someone. I almost did and I would've if Wendy wasn't there to stop me."

"Who was that someone?" I asked with minor concern, "Who did you almost hurt?"

"Pacifica," the name brought back the memories. I finally remembered why I was here. Of course I don't remember every detail, but I remember why I wanted to end my life. Dipper carried on with the story, "I knew she was the reason you were here. So I felt the need to get revenge on her."

I remembered everything now. All the things that Pacifica said to me. All the times I was scared to do anything about it. Well, that's not going to be the case anymore. I was spacing out again. Dipper was trying to get my attention.

"Mabel. Mabel? Are you okay?" he looked worried like he would have to go through this again, or worse.

"I know what I have to do Dipper," I told him proving to him I was perfectly fine, and I meant it this time, "I have to go find Pacifica and show how much stronger she made me. I need to show her that she can't treat me this way anymore!"

"But Mabel—" I cut him off.

"No! Dipper I know what I have to do. I'm not afraid anymore. I almost died because of her. When I was in a coma, I realized how much I can do. I realized how strong I was. I didn't think much about it, but now I know. I have to do this Dipper. Plus, you said you tried to hurt her. She might still be preoccupied from that. I have an advantage."

"But you also have a disadvantage. You just got out of a coma, you're still weak. What if they try to physically hurt you?"

"This is a chance I need to take, Dipper."

"If you're going to do it, then I'm coming with you," I tried to stop him, but I knew it was no use, "I want to have your back this time. I failed you last time, but this time I'm going to be there for you every step of the way. If they try to do anything to hurt you, I'll be there to help."

I was thankful for him. He was always willing to stand with me. Last time, I was too selfish to let him help, but this time… this time is different. This time if Pacifica takes one of us down, the other will follow close behind. This time if we go down, she's coming down with us.


A/N: Okay so I have decided to write one more full chapter and then the epilogue. That means there are only two more chapters. I mean it this time. I think this turned out alright. It's not as good as I wanted it to be, but it will do. I refuse to look back at my story only because if I go back I'm going to want to change something about one of the chapters. Oh, the price of being an author. Anyway, please review and keep in mind that I still have a poll up on my profile that I really hope to get more results for. Please look at that and please review.
