The twins spent every second of their free time locking themselves in their room to practice their magical skills. It came as a shock that school was starting.
Both the magicians were nervous, despite their impressive skills.
It had hardly been any time at all and yet the twins' abilities were beyond extraordinary. Dipper was a pro at muttering spells under his breath, while Mabel was able to wrap just about any adult around her little finger. Together they were a force of nature.
When the office staff tried to assign them different classes the two pooled their skills together.
That hour was talked about for years to come. The bad luck going around that office was ridiculous! Everything broke, everyone tripped, the power went out only in the office, things were lost, and things were spilled. It was a mess!
Of course the Gleeful twins were the only ones unaffected. Weren't they supposedly telepathic?
It scared everyone that witnessed it enough to never tell those children "no" again, for fear of ultimate bad karma.
On the other end of things, after the performance Mabel gave, those two would probably never be separated until college!
She screamed and cried and pulled the "dead parents" card. She sobbed and pleaded, claiming she couldn't make it through a day without the support of her dear, beloved, TWIN brother. She ranted about how you should never separate twins, especially after they had gone through such trauma together. She ripped at everyone's hearts and nerves enough to get her way.
Once they were satisfied with their class arrangements, then came the peers.
The two were already too smart for their own good, making it difficult to relate to those their own age. Now they're hands were stained with magic.
What little people know is that the use of magic has effects on a person. Not only were the children around them droll conversation compared to the fantastical world they had come to know the previous summer, but magic users have a bizarre aura around them, making them hard to approach. This aura makes them seem intimidating and foreign. While this can work in someone's favor in other situations, it was not a good mix for friend-making in the fifth grade. The other children thought them weird freaks, although they could never give clear reasons as to why.
It hardened the twins. Being pushed away from others left them clinging to each other as they instead found solace in a world of power beyond belief.
Mabel could still get almost anything from those around her. It was a talent she had cultivated well. However, getting something from someone was far different from being accepted by them. It killed Dipper to see his sister suffer such heartbreak. So he did what he had learned to do when faced with a problem.
Magic.
"Isn't it a little weird Macy invited us last minute?" Mabel asked, biting her pizza.
She and Dipper sat in the corner of the room, being avoided and left to their own devises as per the usual.
It was pretty weird being suddenly invited to someone's birthday party when they barely talk to you, and to be ignored at said birthday party. Mabel had good grounds for her confusion.
"Not nearly as weird as the things we deal with dear sister." Dipper said with a chuckle, hinting his actions.
"And what does that mean?" Mabel asked, in no mode for her brother's riddles.
She frowned and stared at the rest of the party. A group of girls laughing happily. She glared daggers to them out of envy.
Dipper sighed. It didn't work. She wasn't having fun. It was time to let her in on what he had done.
"She might of had a little...Ocularious Aurorious." Dipper whispered, making his eyes glow faintly.
Faint as they were, Mabel caught it.
"You made her?" She gasped.
Dipper sighed.
"I was hoping once you were here, she'd give you a chance, but it doesn't look like she is." It was Dipper's turn to glare at the group of giggling fifth graders. "I had her invite me too in case this happened. It's not too odd to invite someone's twin when you invite one of them and I wanted to be here if they didn't accept you like they should!"
The twins paused, watching the rest of the party with hate in their stares. Then Dipper decided to bring up plan B.
"I think we need to show them what happens when you neglect the Gleefuls." Dipper said smugly.
Mabel returned his sinister smile as she nodded in agreement.
That was the last birthday party Macy Tall ever threw or attended. She was sent to the hospital after having a psychiatric fit. She screamed and clawed at her own skin begging for help with the bugs she was positive were crawling all over her.
The fits stopped in a week or so, but she never could look at a birthday cake without getting an awful tickling sensation.
The rest of the kids had to go home sick. Poor Mrs. Tall had the worst party in history to clean up after. She called everyone's parents to pick up their puking kid.
When she first thought the cake had been bad, she realized that the Gleeful kids were just fine, eating as much of the cake and other sweets as they pleased. With no other kids willing to digest anything, they had their fill.
The winter sun set early while most the kids still waited for their parents. Outside were the suspiciously healthy Gleeful twins, laughing to each other while having a blast on Macy's trampoline.
Stan wasn't going to pick them up, so Mrs. Tall was going to have to drive them home when all of the other children left.
Until then, the two enjoyed the stars, laying on the trampoline when they had tired themselves out. They were still fighting off uncontrollable chuckles over their magical prank.
When the laughter calmed down Dipper stared off towards the stars.
"They'll never understand us." He said bitterly.
Mabel grunted in agreement, watching the shinning jewels of the night herself.
"They're beneath us, all of those fools are!" Dipper ranted "We're so much better. We're meant for so much more. Our destiny is far beyond what any of those idiots could even handle thinking about!"
"We're destined for the stars!" Mabel answered, uncovering her brother's birthmark. "You shouldn't cover this up. It's a mark of greatness."
"Exactly!" Dipper agreed strongly. "Those simpletons will never be on our level! That's why we have to stick together!"
Mabel nodded thoughtfully, suddenly turning herself to face her brother.
"Promise me we'll always put each other first." Mabel asked.
Dipper blinked at her then extended his pinkie finger.
"You'll always be more important to me than the other useless imbeciles of this world." Dipper assured with closed eyes. "I promise we will always come first."
Mabel smiled and took his smallest finger in her own.
The world fell away from them. It didn't matter. It was just them and a world they'd reject without remorse.
That was when the Gleeful decided that the world meant nothing to them.
We're starting to get into the characters we all know and love.
They're not quite there yet, but they're getting the fast.
Wow I should have gone to bed 2 hours ago!
The wedding's tomorrow and I have to get up earyish!
*yawn*
