A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter fourteen of this story. Sorry for the break, but I was burned out and needed it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls
Weeks passed and December came. Christmas was right around the corner and the Pines kids couldn't wait. Dipper and Mabel were eating breakfast prior to school.
"So Dipping Sauce, what are you asking Santa for?" asked Mabel.
"Um, Santa isn't real." noted Dipper.
"After Gravity Falls, you're really saying that." said Mabel surprised.
"Got me there." shrugged Dipper.
"I'm asking for yak yarn." said Mabel.
"Why yak yarn?" asked Dipper.
"Something different to make sweaters from." answered Mabel.
"Since mom didn't let you get hemp yarn." mused Dipper.
"It's for knitting! I'm not going to smoke it!" exclaimed Mabel annoyed.
"Yak will fit right with your mohair and llama." shrugged Dipper.
"I should get alpaca yarn and knit something for Paz!" declared Mabel.
"It's a little close to Christmas." noted Dipper.
"I'll aim for her birthday." replied Mabel.
Mrs. Pines entered the kitchen with pancakes.
"Thanks mom." said the twins.
Mrs. Pins put the pancakes on the table.
"Dipper, maple syrup race." proposed Mabel.
"You're on." said Dipper.
The two began pouring their syrup.
"Go, Sir Syrup!" cried Mabel.
"Go, Mountie Man!" cried Dipper.
"Kids, no syrup racing." said Mrs. Pines.
"Yes! Victory!" cried Mabel as she won.
"You got lucky." replied Dipper.
The kids began eating.
"So kids, are you excited for the Christmas pageant?" asked Mrs. Pines.
Mabel swallowed her food.
"It's great going to fantastic!" declared Mabel excitedly.
"Mason, what about you?" asked Mrs. Pines.
"Not my thing." answered Dipper.
"How can you not be excited about singing Christmas songs in front of our parents?" asked Mabel surprised.
"Literally every part of that." answered Dipper dryly.
"You'll like it!" declared Mabel.
Dipper just ate his pancakes.
"Unfortunately, your Great Uncle Stanford won't be able to make it." sighed Mrs. Pines.
"What about Grunkle Stan?" asked Mabel.
"I just told you he won't make it." answered Mrs. Pines confused.
Dipper kicked Mabel.
"Ow. That was..." began Mabel.
Mabel then realized her mistake.
"Oh yeah...sorry." said Mabel.
"Honey, do you know where my tie is?" asked Mr. Pines from upstairs.
"One moment." answered Mrs. Pines.
Mrs. Pines headed upstairs leaving the twins alone.
"I can't believe I forgot mom doesn't know about Stan and Ford." sighed Mabel.
"I've forgotten too." shrugged Dipper.
"We should be getting their Christmas gifts soon." noted Mabel.
"Hopefully when we get home from school." said Dipper.
"Well, let's go to school." sighed Mabel.
"Hopefully, I want have to deal with Brandon and his shit." thought Dipper.
The kids got ready and went to school. The day went by nicely and soon lunch came. The Pines twins got in line and got their food. The two went to sit down and eat, but found a surprise. There was a ten-dollar bill sitting on the table. Mabel happily picked the bill up and let out a giggle. Dipper looked at the money with a suspicious look.
"It's a Christmas miracle!" exclaimed Mabel.
"I see you found my donation." said Tammy.
"How nice." said Mabel surprised.
"You can use it to bail yourself out of jail." laughed Tammy.
Tammy and her followers laughed.
"Tammy." grumbled Mabel angrily.
"Mabel, she's not worth it." whispered Dipper.
Mabel groaned and sat down.
"I can't believe her." grumbled Mabel.
"Mabel, she isn't worth it." said Dipper.
"You're not the one who has to do community service because of her." noted Mabel annoyed.
"Mabel, you like spending time at the retirement home." mused Dipper.
"Yeah, but I'm being forced to go thanks a to a judge." stated Mabel angrily.
"Calm down. Deep breaths." whispered Dipper.
Mabel took several deep breaths.
"I'm okay." sighed Mabel.
Mabel began eating.
"I'm still mad about what she did." huffed Mabel.
"You want revenge?" asked Dipper causally.
"Revenge isn't worth it." answered Mabel.
"It made me feel better after I told Pacifica her family was frauds." shrugged Dipper.
"Are you sure?" asked Dipper.
Mabel nodded yes.
"It's not like you've got someone being a jerk to you." answered Mabel.
A small ball of paper hit Dipper in the head.
"Yes I do." stated Dipper.
Dipper looked over at Brandon who snickered.
"What's wrong Dipper?" asked Brandon, feigning innocence.
Dipper let out an angry groan.
"It's not worth it." stated Mabel.
"I'd beg to differ." whispered Dipper.
Dipper felt another wad of paper hit his head.
"We beat Bill, this is nothing." said Mabel.
Dipper mulled this over.
"Yeah, we beat Bill." muttered Dipper.
Another wad of paper hit Dipper who turned around.
"Aw, what's wrong Dip?" asked Brandon taunting.
"Dipper, don't do it." said Mabel.
"Listen to your sister. She's got the balls after all." replied Brandon.
"That jerk." spat Mabel.
A female teacher came over.
"Is something wrong?" asked the teacher.
Brandon looked at Dipper.
"No ma'am." answered Dipper flatly.
Brandon smirked in victory.
"Don't do anything." said the teacher.
The teacher left as the Pines twins sighed.
"So, what do we do?" asked Dipper annoyed.
"Just remember we beat Bill. That will make you realize this isn't that bad." answered Mabel.
Dipper thought for a moment.
"You've got a point." mused Dipper.
The rest of the day passed by with little affair. Once school let out, the kids began to leave. Dipper looked around and noticed Brandon hadn't left yet. Thus, he told Mabel to go ahead and that he had something important to do. Mabel was unsure, but trusted her brother and left. Finally, Brandon came out after a while and spotted Dipper. Brandon smiled a menacing smile and he approached.
"Well, look who waited for me." said Brandon.
"Leave me alone." stated Dipper.
Brandon laughed.
"Oh man, you really think you can tell me what to do?" asked Brandon amazed.
"I'm not taking your crap anymore." stated Dipper.
Brandon walked over and stood in front of Dipper.
"Is that so." said Brandon.
Brandon towered over Dipper.
"I'm not afraid of you." said Dipper.
"So...you finally found your balls." chuckled Brandon.
Dipper stayed firm.
"Did you ask your sister to give them back?" asked Brandon tauntingly.
"You aren't going to get to me." said Dipper.
Brandon sneered in annoyance.
"You must have put fertilizer on your balls." muttered Brandon.
"After all the shit I went through when I was twelve, you're nothing to me!" declared Dipper.
"And what did you go through?" asked Brandon.
Dipper shook his head.
"You couldn't even imagine the shit I've gone through." answered Dipper.
Brandon laughed.
"Fine, you're too much of a wuss to come up with a lie." said Brandon.
Dipper flared his nostrils.
"Okay, there's no point in talking to you." sighed Dipper.
Brandon scowled in anger.
"When did you get your balls from?" asked Brandon.
Dipper turned to leave.
"Dealing with shit worse than you could imagine." answered Dipper.
Dipper began leaving but, Brandon grabbed his arm.
"I didn't give you permission to leave." stated Brandon.
Dipper pulled away from Brandon.
"You're not my mom." noted Dipper.
"No, I'm more likely to fuck her." said Brandon.
Dipper rolled his eyes.
"What was that?!" asked Brandon angrily.
"I'm embarrassed by how immature you are." answered Dipper.
"You got some nerve." huffed Brandon.
"I'm done dealing with you." said Dipper coldly.
Dipper turned his back to Brandon.
"Goodbye." said Dipper began walking away.
"Hey!" cried Brandon.
Dipper didn't respond.
"Stop!" ordered Brandon.
Dipper stayed silent.
"Get back here!" barked Brandon.
Dipper shook his head.
"I didn't say you could go!" screamed Brandon angrily.
"You're not my mom." noted Dipper.
"Get back here you little fuck!" cried Brandon.
Dipper stopped and turned around.
"I grew up, when will you?" asked Dipper.
Dipper departed and went home. Mable was excitedly waiting for him. Before he could ask, Mabel revealed their presents from Stan and Ford where in her room. Mabel led Dipper up to her room where two boxes sat on her bed one of which Mabel opened. Mabel got a jewel necklace from Puerto Rico when Stan and Ford were there hunting the Chupacabra.
"Open yours!" cried Mabel.
Dipper opened his and pulled a mask out.
"It's a Kongo mask." noted Dipper.
"It must be from when they were tracking down the Mokele-mbembe." mused Mabel.
A blank piece of paper fell to the floor.
"That's odd." said Mabel.
Dipper left and returned a moment later with his black light showing the hidden message.
"What does it say?" asked Mabel excitedly.
"There's a hidden secret present in the false bottom of the package." answered Dipper surprised.
Dipper opened the false bottom and pulled out a butterfly knife.
"Cool!" cried Mabel.
"I shouldn't have expected anything less from Grunkle Stan." mused Dipper.
"Flip it!" exclaimed Mabel.
"I'm pretty sure I'd cut myself." said Dipper.
Dipper looked at the knife in his hand.
A/N: That's where we'll end things for now. I need to take more time on my stories due to work draining me. So, updates will hopefully be every other week hopefully. I'll try to keep up, but the schedule isn't concrete. Next time, it's the Christmas pageant. Please review.
