Previously...

Mabel's heart broke. She knew that voice. She knew that voice from anywhere, "Will...? Why... are you...?"

The two boys both looked at her, and realizing his mistake, Will frowned, "Mabel..."

"Don't talk to me! If you want to be with him, I don't care! Just... leave me alone!" She shouted, running out of the mansion crying.

Will glared at Gold, "This is your fault."

"So? It won't matter. You know this. Don't get too attached to them. You know what'll happen eventually..."

The next day, everyone was noticing how Mabel was ignoring both boys, but nobody knew why.

"Mabel...?" Luna speaks up.

Mabel looks down at the three worried children, "Yes?"

"Why aren't our parents talking to each other? Did something bad happen?" River asked.

Mabel bit her lip, "I don't know, sweetheart."

Mabel noticed that Cosmo clutched his fists, and he looked pretty mad. Another thing that surprised her was that... his eyes were now red. She didn't know what to say about that, as Cosmo walked over to Dipper and tried to kick him, screaming at him, "Why aren't you talking to Father?! Why?! What'd he do?!"

River and Luna both frowned, "Cosmo... it's not their fault..."

"Yes, it is! Why won't they talk to each other?" Cosmo frowned.

Dipper sighed, "Well... it's complicated."

"I know... but still. Why aren't you talking to Father?" Cosmo asked.

He sighed, "It doesn't matter, Cosmo... It's none of your business... Don't worry about it."

"... Okay..." Cosmo mumbled, walking over to his sisters, his eyes going back to blue.

Luna spoke up, changing the subject, "Are we ever going to go to school?"

"Dipper? What do you think?" He asked, looking over at him.

Dipper sighed, "They should. Just... no telling anyone what you are."

"Why?" River asked, confused.

He bit his lip, "Not everyone in town is... forgiving... after what happened 9 or so years ago."

"Oh... We understand," The triplets smiled.

Cosmo grinned, "Could we go into town with you?"

"Sure. I'm sure the rest of you are alright by yourselves," Dipper spoke up, glaring at his fiancé and great uncle mostly.

He laughed, "Don't worry. We'll be fine."

"Yeah... and I'll be down in the lab," Ford admitted, before walking to the vending machine.

Dipper looked up at Aurora, Mabel, and Will, "Do you want to come too?"

"... No... I'm fine..." Will shifted uncomfortably from under his seat, biting his lip.

Mabel frowned, "I'll stay here."

"I'll go with you," Aurora smiled.

Dipper smiled, "Thanks. Alright you three, let's go."

A small chorus of cheers started between the triplets, before they left.

Dipper walked by Aurora as they walked into the clothes store, the triplets holding each other's hands, eager to get things.

Aurora looked down at Dipper, "Okay... how much money do we have?"

"Hmm? Oh. Uh... about $50... why?" Dipper asked.

Aurora nodded, "Just... wondering what the budget is, that's all."

"Okay..." Dipper looked down at the three, "Is there anything specifically you want?"

Luna and River smiled, "A special dress!"

"I'm sure Father and Will can make you two dresses," Aurora giggled.

Cosmo pouted, "I don't want a dress... I just want some sneakers... and a cool galaxy backpack..."

"Alright... why do you want a special dress?" Aurora asked.

Luna grinned, "For parties and maybe church!"

"Pretty sure none of us need to, or should, go into a church..." Dipper mumbled.

Aurora laughed, "Probably not..."

"Oh... okay..." Luna looked down.

River grinned, "Are there going to be any parties soon?"

"I don't know... We literally had a party a few days ago," Dipper sighed.

Luna and River both did puppy eyes, "Pleeasssse?"

"Fine... We can host a party at home, if you want..." Dipper grumbled.

The two younger girls cheered happy, "Yay!"

"Goodness, you two sound like Shooting Star..." Aurora sighed.

Dipper bit his lip, not saying a word about her choice of names.

Aurora bit her lip, "Sorry... I've spent a long time with Father..."

"No, it's fine..." Dipper sighed.

Aurora nodded, "Alright... I didn't mean to let that slip."

"It's fine. I'm used to him calling us that..." Dipper sighed.

Aurora frowned, "I'm still sorry... I'm not going to do that again, Dipper."

"... thanks..." Dipper mumbled.

The two didn't talk for the rest of the trip, and they left once all three triplets got a backpack. A galaxy one for Cosmo, a moon covered backpack for Luna, and a waterfall backpack for River.

The five got back to the house.

River ran into the house, "Dad said we can have another party! He said we can have it here!"

"For what?" He grumbled.

Luna smiled, "... Christmas?"

"Ew. No," He scowled.

Dipper snickered, "It's not for Christmas. Besides... those two already suggested going into a church."

"Uh... no thanks," Both he and Will paled.

Mabel frowned, "What's so bad about church?"

"Aren't you guys Jewish?" He asked, attempting to avoid the question.

Dipper shrugged, "Not really..."

"Alright you three, you have school tomorrow... so go to bed," He glared at the triplets.

The triplets nodded, quietly going to their room.

Luna was the first one to wake, and she was quite happy. She got dressed into a blue shirt and jeans, before rushing over to River and Cosmo's beds, shaking them awake. Both of them were kind of upset with her, but they also didn't care.

The three ran down the stairs, all ready, to see everyone staring at them. They noticed that there were four backpacks in a corner by the door. The triplets went over there, and placed their backpacks there as well. They frowned at everyone in the table, before sitting down on the couch. They just stared at the black tv screen in boredom and disappointment.

Mabel got an idea, before she smiled, walking over to them, "Hey, do you want to watch a cartoon that we liked to watch?"

"What's it called?" Cosmo asked, "... It... won't matter, anyway... I won't be able to see it."

Mabel smiled, "It's called Ducktective! I can describe what's happen to you, if you want."

"Sure..." Cosmo agreed, looking at his sisters.

He tried to hold back his laughter, but he failed, startling everyone, "You're going to watch that dumb kid show? I mean... there's literally only two seasons and... Well, you literally watched it 10-11 years ago, Shooting Star."

"How did you know that...?" Mabel asked, confused.

He grinned, "I told you that I'd be watching you, remember?"

"... Yeah, okay..." Mabel shrugged off the disturbing meaning of his words, as she looked over at the kids. Did this mean he watched her in the bathroom? Because... that's terrifying.

Will snickered, "I'm not surprised."

"Shut it, Blue!" He scowled, glaring at Will.

Will smiled, "Nope."
