My Sister is Possesed
Part 1
Dipper saw the mail truck through the window of the Mystery Shack. He told Soos this.
"Can you get it?" He asked. "I'm kind of busy."
"Sure." The 13-year old said. He was about to go, when his twin sister stopped him. Beside her was Waddles.
"No, wait!" She said. Dipper stopped, and looked at her. "This is where Waddles come to shine." She looked at her pet pig.
"Waddles?" The pig oinked, and went to the door. Mabel opened it for him, and the pig went out.
"Mabel, what are you up to?" Dipper questioned. "Where is Waddles going?"
"To get the mail of course."
"Wait, Waddles gets the mail now?"
"Yup; I taught him all he knows. This is his first time, but I think he'll do great!"
"Why did you teach your pet pig to fetch the mail?"
"Well, you know about dogs getting the mail or newspaper for their owners. I thought, if they could do it, why not a pig?
"How can he open up the mail box?"
"He won't need to. Just watch, and you're see what I mean."
The kids went outside and watched as the mail woman got out of her truck, and give Waddles the envelopes. Waddles grabbed them in his mouth, and trotted back up to the shack as the mail woman put the remaining envelopes in the mailbox.
"She knows to give Waddles the letters?"
"Pretty cool, huh? I told her to do that yesterday. Now, you can get the ones that he couldn't carry."
"Kinds of defeats the purpose of having him get the mail for us." Dipper went off.
"No, it doesn't. This way the mailbox won't be too full."
"Guess that's true. I should've figured that out."
"Yeah, you should've, but you didn't." Mabel bent down, and grabbed the envelopes from Waddles' mouth when he came up to her.
"Awesome job, Wads!" She petted him, and stroked his chin which he loved. "You did so good for your first day on the job. Are you ready to keep doing it for the remainder of summer except for Sundays?" The pig oinked. "Yeah, you are. Now come inside, and let's see what we have." Waddles followed his young owner inside. Dipper came back with the remaining mail, and went inside as well.
"Mail's here!" Mabel shouted inside. Both Soos and Wendy left their jobs to see if they had anything in the mail. Mabel gave Soos the mail, and he sorted though them. One fell to the floor. Mabel bent down to pick it up. She read that it was from Grunkle Ford, and a smile lit up her face. "It's from Grunkle Ford!"
"Open it up then." Her brother who was behind her with the other letters told her. "See what it says." Mabel nodded, and opened it up.
"I wonder what kind of crazy discoveries he and Grunkle Stan discovered this time."
"Let me read it." Soos offered. Mabel gave the letter to Soos. He cleared his throat.
"It says," He began. "Hey kids, my brother and I are doing fine. We have made lots of amazing discoveries, but Stan wants to let you guys know that he claimed he found a unicorn dolphin."
"Unicorn dolphin?" Mabel questioned. "That's so cool!"
"Sounds too similar to a narwhal." Dipper said to her. "He could've been confused." Mabel turned to him.
"Or it could be a new species, now known as a unicorn dolphin or a unidolphin"
"Nope." Soos said. "Ford wrote that he was confused, and it was indeed a narwhal."
"Told you." Mabel turned back to Soos.
"Please continue reading, Soos." So, Soos continued.
"So, are you kids going out for Summerween? I know you two might be getting a little old for it, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Also, there is a package coming in the mail. Stan picked it out, and thought it'll be great for Mabel. It should get there in a few days. Love you lots, your grunkles."
"Ooh!" Mabel squealed. "A present just for me? I wonder what it is. I can hardly wait to find out. Also, although we did enjoy Summerween last year, we are getting too old for it. We didn't go for the real Halloween last year, and if Dipper's not going, I'm not going. That's how we Pine twins roll." She and her brother shared a hi-five.
"You aren't too old to get free candy." Soos said. "I went since I was 18, and even though adults looked at me weird, never regretted it once."
"Oh, and here is another letter for you, Mabel." Dipper said, handing it to her. Mabel gladly accepted it.
"Is it my present? Is it early?" Dipper shook his head.
"I'm afraid not. It's a letter from your exchange student friends from South Korea that moved to our school last year, Kit and Kat." This made Mabel beam with joy.
"I'm going to read it, then I'm going to write them back." With that, she left. Waddles did too.
"Dear Mabel," Mabel read the letter out loud to Waddles in the guest room. "We hope you and Mason (Sorry, Dipper) are enjoying your summer vacation just like Kit and I are enjoying our first American one. It's much longer then in South Korea. Over there, summer is from late July to mid-August." Mabel frowned at that.
"Aw, that's too bad for them." She said out loud. "I can't imagine our summer being so short. That sucks. Anyways..." She read on.
"You, your brother, Candy, pets, and friends found buried treasure to save your Grunkle's shack? That's awesome! Candy video-chatted us on all the details. Sounds like you had quite the adventure. You're so lucky! We're so jealous. Anyways, I'll write you more if anything cool happens in our lives, but it won't be more cool than finding treasure, or other crazy things from your crazy summer the year before. Signed, your friends, Kit and Kat."
"She's right, Wads." Mabel told the pig. "It probably won't be as insane as what we had to experience. I'm going to write them back." With that, she went to get a pen, and wrote them back.
Over the next few days, Mabel went with Waddles to fetch the mail. Each day, she grew more and more disappointed that she didn't get her package that she was promised.
"It's taking forever!" A frustrated Mabel told her brother one day in their room. "When is it going to come? Where is my present?"
"Relax." Dipper told her. "It'll come soon. Remember, patience is..."
"A virtue. I know. But I hate waiting so freakin' long. How other people can stand waiting for long periods of time doing nothing is beyond me."
"Well, it's a part of..."
"Growing up, I know. Still, it's annoying. Not all of us are the same, Dipper." He sighed.
"I know, Mabel. I know."
One morning, the mail woman gave a package to Mabel. Mabel immediately grabbed it.
"Whoa!" She observed. "You're really excited about that package, aren't you?" Mabel looked at her.
"Yep!" She said to her. "I've been waiting forever or what seem like forever for this baby!"
"Well, whatever it is, I hope you enjoy it." With that, she drove off. Mabel and Waddles went back to the shack with their haul.
"It came; it came!" An excited Mabel announced as soon as she was inside.
"What came?" Soos wanted to know.
"My package. The one I've been waiting for."
"See?" Dipper said to his sister. "I told you it would come."
"I hope it's all worth it." Wendy piped in.
"It will be." Mabel told her. She got ready to open it. "Ready to see what it is?" They all nodded.
"Go ahead, and open it." Soos said. "You deserve it."
"Yeah, I do." With that, she opened the gift, and pulled out an ancient looking amulet. She beamed. "I love it!" Everyone else all marveled at it.
"It looks old." Dipper observed. "I wonder how old it is." Mabel shrugged.
"Who knows? Anyways, I'm going to try it on."
"Do you want me to help you put it on?" Wendy questioned. Mabel just looked at her.
"I think I'm capable of putting an amulet on."
"Right, but, in case it needs tightening." Mabel shook her head.
"I think I got it."
"Okay, just let me know if you need help."
"Will do, but I doubt it. I'm going to try it in the bathroom so I have access to a mirror."
"You do that." Mabel went off. Waddles followed.
Once in the bathroom, she looked in the mirror, and put the amulet around her neck. She turned to Waddles.
"What do you think, Wads?" The pig only oinked. "Yeah, I know I look great."
Just then, the amulet began to glow. Mabel got excited about this.
"Cool; it glows! I wonder how it'll look like in the dark." She was about to turn off the lights, when suddenly she stopped. Waddles oinked in a concerned matter. She turned to him.
"Don't be concerned, pig." She said, only it wasn't her voice. This only grew the pig's worry. "I'm fine." She turned to leave. But, Waddles went to stand in her way, oinking his concern once more. "I told you; I'm fine!" But Waddles didn't let her pass. He knew something was wrong. This wasn't his owner. "Ugh; get out of the way; stupid pig!" She did something unexpected. She ran up, and bit him. Waddles squealed loudly, and ran out of the way. "Sorry I had to do that, but you forced me." She opened the door, and left.
Waddles was confused. Mabel never bit him, called him stupid, or had a totally unfamiliar voice. He was certain something was very wrong with Mabel. With that, he pushed the door open with his snout, and went out the door to where Mabel, or whoever, was.
"So, how does it fit?" Soos wanted to know when he saw Mabel enter the room. She just looked at him. "Your cool new amulet, do you like it?"
"Why do you want to know, fattie?" Mabel asked. Everyone was surprised at Mabel's choice of words.
"Mabel!" Wendy scolded her. "That was rather rude. Apologize right now." Mabel looked at her.
"No, because it's true, he is fat." Soos began to tear up. She looked back at him. "Aw, are you going to cry? I tell you, people are snowflakes nowadays. They take offense to everything nowadays."
"I just wanted to see what you thought of the amulet." Soos said. "That's no reason to be mean." Mabel looked at Soos again.
"It's none of your beeswax!" Soos sobbed as Wendy consoled him against her chest. Mabel sighed. "It's nice. You satisfied now?" Soos continued to cry. Dipper looked at his sister. Was this even his sister? He never saw her act like this before.
"Mabel, you alright?" He asked her. "You're not yourself." Mabel turned to him.
"I'm fine. And I'm myself, trust me." She laughed to herself. "I'm not myself, what a stupid thing to say. Now, I'm going to be by myself. Don't go after me, if you know what's good for you." With that, she went off.
"Soos, are you alright?" Dipper asked him. Soos sniffed.
"I'll be alright, little dude." Dipper looked at the still crying Soos.
"Sorry about my sister." Dipper thought he'd never say that, but here he was saying it.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too. What's wrong with her? She's not the Mabel I know." Dipper shrugged.
"Don't know." He admitted. "It's like she's possessed or something. She would never act like she did if it was up to her. I'm going to find out."
"I hope you do. I don't want to be called fat ever again. It hurts." With that, Dipper went off. Waddls went after him.
"Do you think you'll be able to do your job?" Wendy wanted to know about Soos. "Because I know I do, otherwise I won't get paid. I can't console you forever." Soos nodded.
"I'll be strong." Soos went back to his post."No time for tears. Stan won't want us not making money. We have work to do." Wendy smiled.
"You know it."
In the guest room, Dipper searched and searched on his phone about what might be wrong with his sister. He searched 'amulet', 'cursed amulets', 'possession'. 'What to do when possessed' and 'curses.' He didn't find anything.
He was about to give up when an ad popped up. His jaw dropped. There was a picture of an amulet, the exact amulet that Mabel was now wearing.
"Oh my gosh!" He cried, and showed the pig. "Look, Waddles, it's Mabel's amulet!" The pet pig looked at the phone, and oinked. "I knew something weird was going on with Mabel. I knew she wasn't herself. I think she's possessed." Dipper looked at who was selling the amulet, and it was from the black market which surprised him yet again. Why was an ad from the black market here? He didn't care. He just wanted his sister back. He turned off his phone, and put it away. He jumped out of bed, and ran out of the room. Waddles, once again, followed.
"Soos, Wendy!" Dipper shouted as he and Waddles ran to them. They stopped their jobs to look at the boy with great concern. "It's Mabel, I checked online, and I think I know what's wrong with her."
"Dipper," Soos started to tell him. "I got Stan's call. That amulet that your sister has is cursed. Your sister is possessed."
