Chapter 8

Wrestling with Impulse

It has been about two weeks since the crew of the Ixcia have returned home. It that time the group have become worldwide celebrities and they had to balance working with industries and governments to get the expansion of humanity into space but also appearances with hopes it would foster the good will to speed up the former. Dipper and Gideon had taken Ixcia and Trigger to New York to address the United Nations, while Mabel and Pacifica stayed at Gravity Falls and were expecting a few appointments at the Northwest Penthouse. "So, who's coming again?" Mabel asked.

Pacifica looked at her tablet. "Let's see, we got a representative from a group of European companies that want to learn what we know about advanced computer tech so they can start manufacturing it, and a NASA scientist who wants to go over the plans for construction of more jump drive ships."

There was a buzz and the new butler of the Northwest opened the door. "Hey guys." Wendy said. "I ran into these two who said they have some appointments with you. Mabel, I think you'll be really happy to see them."

"Surprise!" two women said. One was Asian with black hair and glasses and wore a lab coat with the NASA logo and the other was a large muscular woman in a pink business suit and brown hair in a ponytail.

"Candy! Grenda!" Mabel ran up to them as the three friends hugged. "How'd you guys pull this off?"

Grenda smiled. "Marius was happy to send me to represent his business partners. They couldn't complain, it's hard to say no to Baroness Grenda von Fundshauser."

"And I am one of the top scientists in NASA. It wasn't hard to convince my bosses that I was the right one for the job." Candy said.

"I have to get back to work I'll see you girls later." Wendy said as she left.

"Well I hope you girls don't mind catching up while we have private fittings with Nina Bloom." Pacifica said.

"I love her work!" Grenda said.

"She's one of the worlds top designers, why is she coming here?" Candy asked.

"She's an acquaintance of my mom and she agreed to sell us dresses we need for a party were going to this week." Pacifica said.

"Yes, one does not turn down an invitation to Buckingham Palace." Mabel said in a haughty voice. There was laughter like nothing had changed in the years the girls were apart.

Later after Nina arrived Pacifica, Grenda, and Candy talked while Mable looked over two dresses. "Candy, Grenda, about the teasing I did when we were kids…" Pacifica began to apologize.

Candy held up her hand. "You already said you were sorry years ago Pacifica. But I guess you forgot."

Grenda then said. "You were there for Mabel when we couldn't be. We both heard on the news that you're her sister-in-law and as far as we're concerned all's forgiven."

Nina asked Mabel. "Which one do you want? You've been looking at them for ten minutes."

"I'm not sure. I don't want to rush. What do you girls think?" Mabel pointed to a slim black dress. "This one is definitely sexy; Gideon would really like it." She then pointed to a blue dress with an elegant skirt. "But this one is more fitting with meeting the royal family. I need to make a good impression to get England's help." Candy and Grenda looked shocked. "What?"

"It's just we've hardly seen you think so carefully about something before." Candy answered.

"I learned the hard way not to be too impulsive." Mabel looked at Grenda. "Do you still love wrestling?"

"Of course!" Grenda said.

"Then you would have loved this misadventure. I still get sore thinking about it." Pacifica said.

Mabel began the story. "It started with a cargo run to a planetoid called Vobus. Simple stuff that we handled hundreds of time before. After we got Pacifica back Gideon really applied himself and just graduated early from Ixcia's lessons so I figured staying the night and going to good place to eat to celebrate wouldn't be a big deal…"

Ten years ago,

"Congratulations Gideon!" Dipper, Mabel, and Pacifica cheered. They were in a restaurant with lots of monitors and a large platter of tasty food on their table.

"Thanks guys." Gideon said. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the free time I now have."

Ixcia spoke through the Scantrix. "It has been enjoyable seeing to your education Gideon, just as it was for Dipper and Mabel's. I am going miss teaching you all."

"There's still plenty you can teach us Ixcia." Dipper said.

"Yeah." Gideon added. "You just gave us what's a basic education out here." Gideon thought for a moment. "I just realized that in two years I'll legally be an adult. We may find a way home but the kids that were taken from Earth are now long gone. At least we're all in better shape to find our way home."

All the screens showed an ad. Four aliens were in a hexagonal ring in an open-air stadium. "Come to Belladix Stadium tomorrow for the Super Nova Slamfest brought to you by the Galactic Wrestling Association! You can join in this tag team tournament and fight for the chance to face our reigning champion Lady Fisterella for the grand prize of five hundred Kiloquan!" The four alien wrestlers rushed a woman with silver skin and yellow stripes. She wore a pink leotard and had four arms. Her brown hair was in a pixie cut. Fisterella grabbed each of the other wrestlers in one hand and threw them out of the ring.

"Come and face me! That's if you have the guts!" the champ said pointing at the camera.

"That looks like fun to watch." Mabel said.

Pacifica just groaned. "My dad told me that stuff is fake. There's something familiar about her though."

"It may be fake back home but who knows here." Gideon looked at the screen. "I've been working out since I got here. I think I could take her."

Dipper sighed. "I wish you could Gideon, we could use the money. But we can't stick around, the Imperium is closing in on this system and lots of ships are already leaving. We're heading out first thing in the morning."

"I know. Still this has been great, thanks for arranging this Mabel."

Mabel gave a big smile. "I was happy to."

The next morning the Ixica was ready to depart. "Vobus control 43, this is the Ixcia, we're ready to depart. Please release the docking clamps." Dipper signaled.

"Negative." The controller said. "According to the Space Traffic Bureau you owe one hundred kiloquan in docking fees."

"That's impossible! We've only been docked here since yesterday! No one would come here if they had to pay that much!"

"According to their records you've been docked in that spot for a year."

An hour later the crew was in the common area. Ixcia had news. "I have found the reason for the discrepancy in the STB records, one year ago a private passenger ship named the Ixcio was docked at this location. It exploded in an accident six hours after landing."

"So, this is a fine for another ship that no longer exists!?" Shouted Gideon.

"We can fix this little mix up easy." Mabel said. "It's just a mistake of one little syllable."

"That may not be so simple." Ixcia said. "The Vobus bureaucracy has been said to be…challenging. Some reports have said that it can take weeks to process a ship's registration."

Pacifica crossed her arms. "We can't wait weeks. The Imps could be here in days." She then went to the console. "We may just have to grit our teeth and pay the fee with our whole emergency fund."

"It was a smart idea of yours to set that up Pacifica." Dipper said blush. "Odysseus Enterprises has really improved since you started handling our finances."

Pacifica smiled. "My parents had been grooming me to take over Northwest Industries my whole life. I'm just glad the lessons they taught me are doing…some…good." Pacifica looked worried. "We're short! Where did that money go?"

Mabel looked embarrassed. "That's my fault. When I found out about Gideon's graduation I just went ahead and paid the restaurant in advance so we could get a reservation. It's an emergency fund and we had a party emergency."

"That dinner cost THAT much!?" Pacifica's eye twitched. She had become much more frugal since being made responsible for the budget.

"If I'd known it was that expensive, I would have savored it more." Gideon said.

"Mabel you always do this." Dipper said.

Mabel defended herself. "I was doing something nice!"

"I'm not talking about your old self-centeredness, you got over that a long time ago. I'm talking about your impulse control! You do things without thinking them through! Even when you're doing it for someone else you never think of the consequences your ideas could have. Mabel, we love you, but you're nineteen! It's time you learned that you shouldn't always do the first thing that pops into your head!"

Mable was silent. "What do we do now?" Gideon asked. "We can't do a cargo job if Ixcia is stuck here and nothing we have will sell for enough to pay the fee."

"We go with plan A. I'll try to push through the STB as fast as I can and hope that it isn't as bad as the rumors say." Dipper downloaded the information onto his tablet and left.

"I want to believe in Dipper, but we better come up with a plan B." Pacifica said.

"Already got one!" Mabel pulled up an image of the wrestling tournament they saw an ad for last night. "I registered you two as Mr. Mangle and Princess Pain."

"Uh, Mable. Didn't you hear anything Dipper was saying about making impulsive decisions?" Gideon asked.

"I did think this through! You're strong and had army hand to hand training and Pacifica is like a real ninja! The two of you can win this easy and not only will we pay the fee, but we'll get back the quan I spent from the emergency fund plus more for a tidy profit."

"That's only if things go our way!" Pacifica said. "Mabel this tournament is going to be on the cosmo-net! Everyone will recognize us as fugitives! Every bounty hunter on the planet will be on us! The Imperium might even step up their conquest of this sector just to kill us all!"

"That could happen…" Mabel then got another idea. "…unless… disguises!"

"That could work." Gideon said. "They do wear costumes. And Mabel is great at crafts."

Pacifica could tell that Gideon was still in love with Mabel and was trying to be supportive. "No! I don't care if there's a small chance this could work! You are not going to talk me into this! You hear me? You are not going to talk me into this!"

Twenty minutes later in the STB Dipper was sitting down in the crowded lobby. He looked up an electronic sign that said "Now serving number" with the number 4 on it. He looked at the stub of paper he had with the number four on it, followed by the number 27. "This must be what the DMV back home is like." Dipper moaned. "I just hope Mabel doesn't do anything rash while I'm here. No, she'll be fine. The others are with her."

At Belladix Stadium the rest of the Ixcia crew could hear the roar of the crowd. "I can't believe you two talked me into this!" Pacifica yelled. Her skin was painted green and instead of her visor she now wore a pair of fake antennae. "No one is going to buy this lame disguise! It itches so much!"

Mabel waved Pacifica off. "It's going to work. Now remember just stick to your stage names and everything will be fine. Right Mr. Mangle?"

Gideon's disguise was a black mask that covered his head and had a skull on the forehead and red around the mouth. "I just hope Dipper won't be mad at us for this." They stepped to the arena with several tough looking opponents.

"With your skills and me as your coach there is nothing to worry about."

The MC a man with four tube like ears stood in the center of the ring. "Lifeforms of all ages! Welcome to the GWA Super Nova Slamfest! In this tournament these amateur fighters will face off in a series of tag team bouts until one team faces our undefeated champion Lady Fisterella for five hundred kiloquan!" The crowd cheered. An image of the champ was shown on the jumbotron.

"There is something about her species but with so many drilled into me in the training I can't remember what it is!" Pacifica wracked her brain on what she was forgetting.

"Now a quick overview of the rules. No weapons, cybernetics, or psychic powers allowed! You win if you pin your opponent for a ten count, force them to give up, throw them out of the ring or knock them out. You can tag in your partner if you can make physical contact, but the starting fighter must change with each match. Finally, any injury during the match that accidently results in your opponent's death is grounds for immediate disqualification and for investigation by the local authorities! We're here for good brutal fun! Now for our first match we have the Oggro brothers vs. Mr. Mangle and Princess Pain!"

"Good luck guys! Not that you need it!" Mabel said as Gideon climbed into the ring with a lizard man like Draga was.

Up in the stands Vax was watching the match. "Sometimes you just got to take a break from bounty hunting and treat yourself to some fun." He told the fan next to him. "Let's see what these guys can do."

The match began. The first of Oggro brothers lunged at Gideon mouth open wide. Gideon dodged causing the lizard to try to swipe Gideon off his feet with his tail. But Gideon stepped on it and push his opponent down with one arm pinning his shoulders while the other held his mouth closed. The floating robot referee counted to ten Gideon had won the match. "Next." Gideon said smugly as the crowd cheered.

Meanwhile Dipper's number was finally called, and he entered a room with a very long line. "What was the point of having me wait in the lobby just to have me wait in line?"

"It keeps people from pushing for a place in line sonny." The leafy old man in front of him said.

"Stick to it Dipper, patience is a virtue."

Sometime back at the stadium it was Pacifica's turn to fight. "Next Princess Pain is first against a pair of former space pirates. Now that they paid their debt to society their here for that treasure of five hundred kiloquan! Let's give a yo ho ho for Wokdo!" The MC pointed to a familiar looking yellow muscular alien.

"Wait isn't that the guy that put those shock collars on us?" Mabel asked.

Pacifica gritted her teeth. "It's time for some payback, for all of us!" she made a come at me taunt with her hand.

Wokdo threw a mighty punch but Pacifica wasn't the helpless girl she was five years ago. She grabbed his wrist and swung his arm around to his back where she stood on the pirate's shoulders pulling on the arm. "Hey quit that!" Wokdo demanded in pain as he reach for Pacifica with his other hand.

Pacifica grabbed the other hand and pulled on them both. "I can keep this up all day, but I have other matches so do yourself a favor and give up."

"No way!" Wokdo said and them he groaned in pain.

"You must be wondering if this is as painful as the harm you've inflicted on others. How many have pleaded, no begged you to stop? I can make it worse." Pacifica pressed her knees on the sides of Wokdo's head and squeezed. "Now yield!"

The pain was too much. "Okay! I give! I give!"

Pacifica jumped off her the man who hurt her and her friends. "If I find out you have gone back to your old ways, I'll do much worse." Wokdo ran out of the stadium screaming.

"I forget how scary you can be somtimes." Gideon said as Pacifica stepped out of the ring.

"What I did might not have been right, but I had to do it. I'll never let anyone make you guys suffer again if I can help it." Pacifica didn't look at her friends. She couldn't let them see the tears in her eyes.

Dipper finally made it to the end of the line. "How can I help you?" The receptionist asked.

Dipper held up his tablet. "I'm from the cargo ship Ixcia and there's been a mistake. We're being charged a fee for the ship Ixcio which was destroyed. So, can you just cancel that fee, my ship can pay our actual fee and we'll be on our way?"

"I'm sorry sir, but that isn't my job. I must direct you to Mr. Forgu, he can set things straight. His office is number 365 you'll find it somewhere past that door." She pointed to a door at the side of the room.

"Fine, at least I'm making progress." Dipper opened the door and found that the numbers on the offices didn't go in order. As he took a turn looking for the right office the hall split into several directions like a labyrinth. "Oh, come on!" He yelled which echoed down the halls.

Meanwhile Gideon's punches were having no effect on an alien that was the same species as the bartender Mabel and Pacifica met last year. "Go ahead and tag your partner in! She won't be able to do anything either! That money is mine!" it wobbled. Instead Gideon grabbed his opponent and began lifting him even as it slid through his fingers. "Wait what are you doing?" Gideon grunted as he threw the slime ball out of the ring with a splat.

After it pulled itself back together the ref pointed to Gideon. "Winner."

"Way to go Mangle!" Mabel cheered.

"This is getting kinda fun!" Gideon said.

"Just two more matches and we can face the champ! This plan might actually work Mable!" Pacifica jumped with excitement.

Up in the stands Vax ate a snack. "Mr. Mangle and Princess Pain might actually be able to take on the champ! The last match is a two on one!" the fan next to him said.

Vax swallowed. "They're good I'll give them that but without weapons they don't stand a chance. I'm not just saying that as a fan, with my experience as a bounty hunter I faced her kind before, and no one can beat them in hand to hand."

Back at the beastly blackhole of bureaucracy called the STB Dipper was still wandering the halls. "Really wish I had a Manotaur with me. They could be good with mazes or at least help me break down walls until I find this office! How does anyone find anything here?"

"That's the point sonny, to make guys like you give up. These guys hate dealing with people especially those that say the system made a mistake." The same leafy old man was mopping the floors.

"You? You work here and you have to go through all that?"

"It's not that bad. I get to meet interesting people."

"I don't suppose you know where office 365 is. I need to get this fixed fast, my friends and I can't stay here."

"You seem like a good young man. I just passed by it. Keep going down this hall until you reach the second intersection and turn right, it's the fifth door on the left. But I wouldn't get your hopes up. That Frogu is a real stickler."

"Thanks. I just hope he's not out for lunch or something." Dipper hoped he would be finished with this mess soon.

It was the final round of the tournament and Pacifica was pinning her three-horned opponent. "Tag in!" he shouted to his partner at the far side of the ring who stretched out a long purple tentacle.

"Hey that's not fair!" Mable shouted. The new opponent came in and unleashed a flurry of lashes on Pacifica. "You can do it Princess!"

Pacifica did a sliding kick followed by an uppercut knocking the tentacled fighter out. The MC then got in the ring. "There you have it, folks! Princess Pain and Mr. Mangle will go on to face Lady Fisterella in the final round! They will have thirty minutes to tend to their injuries before going on to the final bout! Get those refills quick because you don't want to miss this!"

"You guys have done great!" Mabel said rubbing a salve on Pacifica's bruises that healed them. "Just one more fight and our problems are over."

Pacifica smiled and tapped her fake antenna causing it to bounce back and forth. "I hate to admit it Mabel, but I think I was wrong. This was a good plan."

"I almost feel sorry for Fisterella. Against the both us what can she do?" Gideon said with a chuckle.

Back at the Space Travel Bureau Dipper entered the office he was looking for. "Mr. Forgu, right?"

"Yes, how can help you?" Mr. Forgu was a small blue man with five eyes. His voice was monotone, practically emotionless.

"I'm Dipper Pines of the Ixcia. My ship is being charged a fee for another ship."

"You're saying that we've made a mistake?"

"A simple one that could happen to anyone. Last year at where we're docked a ship called the Ixcio was destroyed. Same spot with a ship with practically the same name, this all happened by coincidence."

Mr. Forgu thought for a second. "Yes, that meteor shower, that caused a backlog for weeks. Well, I guess I have no choice but to bring up the forms to correct this…error. First you need fill out form GX-8725 in triplicate, then there's form DDC-9 countersigned by my supervisor, it should only take twenty-six hours for him to get back to us. After that is HV-784…"

"Sorry to interrupt but how many forms do I need to go through for this?"

"No more than four hundred not counting duplicates. The process should take no more than three or four days if we get approved at each step."

"And if we don't?"

"Then we have to start all over."

"And your higher ups can say no just because they wouldn't want to admit that this happened. From the look of things, you just have to tap that icon on your computer and we're done." Dipper point to the screen on Mr. Forgu's desk.

Mr. Forgu had a tiny frown. "If I start making exceptions then this whole place would fall apart."

A fantasy flashed through Dipper's head. He was at the controls of Ixcia that had more weapons then in reality. Dipper laughed like a super villain as he blasted the STB into a crater. "I'll give you fall apart." Dipper muttered under his breath.

At that time at Belladix Stadium Fisterella climbed into the ring. "Lifeforms of all ages! Your champion!" The MC said as the crowd cheered.

"Yeah she's going down." Mabel said.

Then two girders were lowered into the ring. "What's with those?" Gideon asked.

The MC pointed to the girders. "Please note that these are solid steel." Fisterella then twisted them into an interlinked pretzel.

"Now I remember!" Pacifica said as her eyes sunk. The Felggur strategy on killing her kind was always to attack at long range and to avoid close quarters at all costs! Her species is the strongest in this galaxy!"

Gideon broke into a cold sweat. "And you're just remembering this now?!"

"This is the first time I fought one!" Pacifica then said. "If you give me a boost, I can jump over her. Maybe if attack from both sides she can't handle us."

The bell rang and they executed the plan but Fisterella grabbed Pacifica in midair with her upper arms while punching Gideon in the gut. "You two really didn't think that would work, did you?"

"She not just strong, she's fast." Pacifica murmured.

Fisterella laughed. "You're the strongest two in the tournament? I told the association that this would be a waste of my time, I'm the strongest of my people so no one will beat me! I'll be champ until the day I die!" She grabbed Gideon's leg and lifted him up too.

The MC talked from Fisterella's side of the ring. "It the champs tag team move! The Clobber Clapper!" She began to beat the Pacifica and Gideon together. She then threw them on the ground. "I better take my time. Don't want the fun to end too quickly."

Mabel was panicking. "No, no! Dipper was right! I should've looked her up, now my friends are getting hurt and it's my fault!" Mabel threw a towel into the ring.

"What was that about?" Fisterella asked.

"You know! I'm their coach so I'm throwing in the towel to say we give up!"

The MC thought for a moment. "That is a great idea! A way to surrender if the fighter is too disoriented to so. We'll add that to the GWA rules for next season, until then only the fighter can forfeit."

"I don't think they can, I broke their jaws." Fisterella laughed as she gave more punches knocking the fake antenna off Pacifica.

"No! Stop please!" Mabel cried.

Vax saw the what happened to Pacifica on the jumbotron. "Wait a minute…"

That moment Dipper was still going over forms. "These are starting to blur together." Dipper said.

"Dipper, there is an emergency." Ixcia was on Dippers comm. "The rest of the crew are at the tournament and Pacifica's identity may have just been exposed and according to ticket data Vax is there as well. She and Gideon are in no condition to fight him when he decides to attack."

"Meet me here and get the sick bay ready, I'll have those clamps unlocked in a minute." Dipper said.

Mr. Forgu looked annoyed. "Mr. Pines we can't just rush through procedure…"

Dipper used his power gauntlet to smash his chair. "Listen here you little pencil neck! I wasted enough time on your procedures!"

"And people wonder why we make things difficult!" Forgu looked nervous. "It's to keep the crazies like you out!"

"Keep them out? This whole system you love makes people crazy! Now you listen to me, my family is in danger! You are going to unlock my ship and then you are going to take me to the nearest exit and if you don't then I'm going to break your face! Do you understand me?!" The little bureaucrat wordlessly tapped the controls of his computer and then walked to the door. "That's what I thought." Dipper was satisfied.

A few minutes later Fisterella reached for Gideon's mask. "I'm getting bored, time for me to finish humiliating you and go home."

She pulled his mask off for all to see. "I should have known! How could I have been fooled like this!" Vax said as he used the jet in his leg to fly down to the ring.

"What, you think you can get the five hundred if you beat me instead of them?" Fisterella asked ready for a new fight.

"No, those two are worth way more than that." Vax said. "And I must say I'm sorry, I really am a big fan of yours, but I must get my rep back." Vax then shot Fisterella with a stun blast from his gun.

"Vax!" Mabel shouted while she shot her gun into the air. She then climbed in the ring and stood between Vax and her friends. "My family was hurt by my mistake; I won't let them get killed for it too!"

"You really think you can protect them both by yourself?" Vax asked.

"This is not how I saw this match going folks!" The MC said. "Who will win? The coach or the bounty hunter?"

"Mabel!" Mabel looked up hearing her name and the familiar roar of Ixcia's engines. Dipper flew down pointing his gauntlet at Vax. "I got Pacifica. Grab Gideon and let's get out of here!"

"Right!" Mabel wrapped her arm around Gideon fired her grappling hook to Ixcia while Dipper took Pacifica into his arms and flew up. Dipper made it up first with Mabel not far behind.

"No, you don't!" Vax fired his grappling claw arm. Things seemed to go into slow motion as his claw made a deep cut in Mabel's back and through her hair making her let go of her gun. She and Gideon began to fall as she bled heavily.

"Mabel!" Dipper shot Vax's claw that had hooked onto the ship. He then leapt off and rocketed down. He then wrapped his arms around Mabel and Gideon and flew back up at maximum speed. Once he landed, he said. "Ixcia time to go!"

"Pines!" Dipper turned to see Vax flying almost at the cargo bay door. "You're not going to escape me this time!" He didn't see that Mabel's gun had made it back to the ship and was in Gideon's reach. He took it and shot Vax's cybernetic leg and the bounty hunter plummeted.

As the door closed Dipper yelled. "Soostron! Help me get them to sickbay!"

The next thing Mabel knew she woke up on her stomach in sickbay with Dipper pacing nearby. "Dipper?" she said weakly.

"Mabel thank goodness! If that cut was any deeper, you could have been paralyzed or worse!"

"Are Pacifica and Gideon okay?"

"They were beaten badly but they'll recover in a couple of days."

Ixcia's avatar appeared. "Dipper, Mabel. There is a news report on what happened."

Ixcia made screen showing the news. "This is Soothsayer version 506.73 with the latest update on the attack on Belladix Stadium. Wanted heretics infiltrated a GWA tournament and shot the champion."

"That was Vax!" Mabel yelled trying to get up but stopped due to the pain.

"Easy Mabel! You still need to rest for at least a couple more days!" Dipper said.

"The heroic bounty hunter who chased the fugitives off is in recovery after receiving a cybernetic replacement for his shattered spine. The heretics remain at large." The Soothsayer said.

"Ixcia turn it off. Imp propaganda at its finest."

"Dipper you were right. I made a rash decision and it almost got us killed!"

"You're right it did, and I wish it didn't take something like this to get you to learn to slow down and think now and then. But thinking too much on things isn't going help you either. Making clones to get Wendy to fall for me taught me that."

"How bad is it really?"

"Mabel there's no way this wound isn't going to leave some big scars. You'll have them for the rest of your life."

"At least they won't let me ever forget this lesson."

Ten years later,

"And I never did." Mabel said. "That's also why I don't wear anything backless."

"Is that when started wearing your hair shorter too? Candy asked.

"Yes, and it's a good look for her." Pacifica said.

Grenda looked like she was on the verge of tears. "Wow Mabel, we had close calls before but there was never any permanent damage."

"I'm not ashamed of my scars anymore. When Gideon caresses my back, he doesn't feel my scars he feels his wife, who he loves and loves him back. So, I made my choice, I'll take the black dress."

Pacifica however had other ideas. "That's sweet of you Mabel but my mom is paying for these so you can have both. Take the blue one to the palace and save the black dress for your next date night. I got a fancy dress for the party too and a little red number that will drive Mason wild."

Mabel smiled. "Best of both worlds! I don't have to think twice about that!"
