Carpet Diem

3, C, and Sunset watched as Dipper and Mabel played with the fake eye balls in a game of attic Mini-golf

"Hwaah! Total domination! I am the master of Attic Stuff Mini-golf! From the mighty Swiss Alps! To the badlands of Dipper's old laundry where man fears to tread!" Mabel crowed as she got a hole in one.

"Alright let a pro on the field. Or floor, whatever." Dipper said, going up to the tee. False, you need to be certified by a golfing agent and invited to events to be a "pro", C scoffed. 3 glared at C. Lay off C, they're just having an old fashion taunting match. You should know about old fashion.

Dipper hits the eyeball very hard. The eyeball bounces around the room and crashes through a window. It then hits Grunkle Stan in the head. They could hear him shout from here.

"Ah, my head! It hit me right in the head!"

"Yes! Stan shot. Is that legal?"

Mabel and Dipper look at the judge, Waddles, and see him eating the score card.

"The judges say it's out of bounds." Oh if you got a Stan shot would it be out of bounds! 3 muttered infuriated. Calm down 3, Sunset begged, Mabel will hear you. Sunset is quite right, stop acting like a jealous ex and simmer down, C agreed.

Jealous!? I'm not jealous, it's not like I want to hang out with Dipper without him carrying me and those 2 girls treat that as a given right. No sir, I'm not jealous! 3 shouted at C who was giving off an aura of superiority.

"You're out of bounds!" Dipper said lightly jabbing Mabel in the stomach with his golf club, completely unaware of the debate behind him.

"Hey! Stop it!" She laughed jabbing him back. They continued jabbing each other for a few seconds until Mabel's "Meow o'clock" clock starts ringing. That clock is annoying as hell! 3 huffed, still a little ruffled from C's jealousy taunt.

"Hey, Dipper, I gotta go hang out with Candy and Grenda tonight."

"Aw, again? You can't leave mid-game." He complained 3 on the other hand was thrilled to have Mabel away for the night, which meant another in-depth talk with Dipper with no interruptions.

"Don't be silly, I'm not leaving. My friends are coming to me!" She announced to both Dipper's and 3's shock.

"Wait, what? Oh no. No no no. Sleeping bags? Rom-coms? Calling All Boys: Preteen Edition?! You're not having a-" Oh dear lord please no, was the thought shared between the books.

The door suddenly opens and shows Candy and Grenda grinning in the shadows. They walk in and interrupt Dipper and finish his sentence.

"Sleepover!"

Dipper, 3, C, and Sunset screamed in terror.

Mabel, Grenda, Candy, and Waddles are sitting on Mabel's bed and talking about boys.

"Okay, so how much do you like boys?" Mabel asked Grenda.

"So much!"

"Boys make me think about kissing!" Candy confessed giggling.

"Candy! Oh my gosh!" Grenda then throws a pillow at Candy and it hits her in the head.

"We are so crazy tonight!" Mabel exclaimed and the girls started screaming loudly.

Dipper meanwhile was on the bed with a pillow over his ears; the books however didn't have that luxury. Dear god shut them up, C grounded out. Sunset whimpered pitifully as it tried to fall behind the shelf. 3 was going over various tortures repeating the mantra, "I must not violently rip out their vocal cords" over and over again.

"Who wants to smear makeup on my face?" Grenda yelled, which caused the boy and books to grit their 'teeth' in fury or pain.

"Ugh, you're already so beautiful, Grenda. What would be the point?" Mabel asked, wide eyed.

Grenda started to punch the floor chanting, "Beautiful! Beautiful!" If books could cry, Sunset would be bawling by now in fear or anger.

Dipper finally lost it and yelled at the girls, "Arrrrgh! Mabel! Do you think you can do this somewhere else?! You're laughing at frequencies only dogs should hear!" Here, here! The books agreed.

"Come on, it's not that bad." Not that bad!? Poor Waddles is deaf by now, that lucky swine. If we were in a suburban setting, an angry mob would be standing outside with pitchforks and torches demanding you three to shut up! 3 yelled mentally as the other two agreed.

"You know what your brother needs?"

Mabel gasped and said in barely contained excitement, "A makeover?"

Candy then conjured up random beauty products as Dipper screamed; he quickly grabbed a pillow, blanket, and 3 and ran downstairs. Wait! Take us with you! C and Sunset yelled after them.

Downstairs he walked up to Soos, and asked tiredly, "Hey Soos, can I sleep in your break room tonight?"

"Of course, dude."

Soos opens the door to reveal a very cramped room with hazardous pipes and steam.

"We might have to go somewhere else for the night." 3 whispered.

"You just gotta make your body go like a video game puzzle block. Beebity boop boop beep beepity boop bop boop boop. The trick is to hold perfectly still." He said as he rests his hand on a pipe and his arm gets scorched, "Ow, wait wait. Ow, wait wait. Ow, wait wait." He repeated the action a couple of times.

"I think I'll sleep somewhere else..."

Dipper walks away while Soos continues doing the same thing over and over again, while they walked away, 3 heard Soos said "Oh, actually felt good that time".

Dipper finally decides to campout next to the totem pole.

"Ah...sleeping under the stars...not bad."

"Yeah, and we don't have to listen to high pitched squeal's" 3 agreed, a little miffed they've been kicked out of their room but still happy to be alone with Dipper until they heard growling right next to them. They turned to see a rabid wolf biting his leg.

"Where the hell did that come from!?"

"Aah! Get off! Aah! Get away!" He glanced up and sees Mabel's sleepover from the window. Mabel, Grenda, and Candy are jumping up and down, singing.

He and said looks at the wolf, "This is still better." He lay down again; the wolf continues to gnaw on his leg.

"I agree…" 3 said sadly, its chance to be alone with Dipper ruined, "Well goodnight Dipper, rabid wolf."

"Goodnight, 3."

The wolf just growled.

Dipper and 3 drowsily walked back to the room, Dipper with a limp. Up the way, they pasted by Candy covered in duct tape and Grenda covered in lipstick. He paused and 3 said, "I don't want to know."

"Hey brother! Want any of this leftover pizza? It's got glitter on it!" Mabel greeted the cranky duo shaking the tarnished food in Dipper's face. Ughh…how was your night 3? Sunset asked tiredly in a scratchy voice, it seemed to have spent all night in 'tears'. I hope it was better than ours, C said, too tired to be snarky or irritated. Wildlife tried to eat Dipper, was all 3 said.

"Mabel, last night an owl tried to eat my tongue."

"Ha ha! That's great!" She said, thinking he was joking,

"No it's not great! This." He points to their dirty and wrecked room. "Is impossible to live with!"

"What? I'm delightful to live with! Get ready to be poked by the fun stick! Boop!" She said offended then got out a stick and pokes Dipper with it. We beg to differ! The books yelled.

He slaps it out of Mabel's hand, "Mabel, I've had it with the fun stick! You've totally wrecked our room. And-oh no! Our mini-golf course!" He said, anguished at he looked at the destroyed course.

"Heh heh heh, yeah. Grenda sure loves breaking things."

"Mabel we need to lay down some ground rules if we're gonna be living in this room together. First of all, no sleepovers." Dipper said, yeah!

"What?! Well if I can't have sleepovers, than you can't keep me up every night with your summer reading." What's wrong with me!? C asked affronted.

"How does reading keep you up?"

"You keep clicking the pen!" I find it soothing, C muttered.

"Well, at least my braces don't whistle when I breathe."

"At least I wash my clothes once in a while."

"Washing clothes is a waste of time, I'm a busy guy!"

Mabel stared meowing

"Alright if you meow one more time-"

"Meow meow meow!"

"Okay that's it! That's the final straw! Maybe we shouldn't share a room anymore!" Take us with you!

Mabel seemed unsure the firmed, "Wha...uh...well maybe we shouldn't!"

"Fine by me!"

"Double fine by me!"

"Then we need to talk to Grunkle Stan about moving rooms."

"Yeah. He's a reasonable guy." You've had too much glitter pizza.

Dipper, Mabel, and 3 walked over to Stan who was watching TV and said, "Grunkle Stan, we want different rooms."

Stan scoffed and said, "Ha! And I want a pair of magic money pants. It's not gonna happen."

"Magic money pants...?" Mabel asked, confused.

"Come on, Grunkle Stan. Can't we work something out?" Dipper pleaded.

"Look kid, there's my room and the attic. That's it. What do you think, there's some kind of "secret hidden room" in the Shack?" Well it certainly has room for it.

A very loud crash is heard and Soos called out, "Dudes! I found some kind of secret hidden room in the Shack!" Well, that was awfully convenient.

Dipper and Mabel grin at each other and ran towards Soos who was in front of a fancy door.

"Okay, so I was cleaning up behind this bookcase when boom! Mystery door! This ole' Shack is full of weird secrets." He opened the door and they all look into it. Dipper, 3, and Mabel walked into it and looked around.

"Whoa-hoh!" Dipper said, looking around in amazement.

"Classy..."

Dipper looked at a calendar that said July, 4th 1982 as Mabel coughed from the dust.

Dipper knelt down and looked at the tag poking from the carpet, "Experiment 78? Grunkle Stan, what is this place?"

Stan frowned, "I don't know. Just another room I gotta clean up now." He takes a pair of glasses off a table and puts it in his shirt and walks in further. Mabel was making snow angels in the carpet.

"This carpet is amazing!"

"Yeah, if you're into things that are terrible." Stan groused, passing by.

Dipper saw a key on the wall and grabs it, "Problem solved, I'll move in here!" Dipper announced while 3 silently cheered.

"What? Why do you automatically get the room? We both saw it at the same time."

"Wait a second." He takes the key from Dipper, "So you both want this room, huh? I guess I'll give it to whichever one of you I like more." He unties his own shoe and said in a fake way, "Uh oh. Looks like my shoes untied." Great parenting.

Dipper and Mabel look at each other for a second before attacking each other trying, to tie Stan's shoe as Stan cheered them on.

"Muah ha ha. To the kitchen! Fight, fight, fight!"

Stan runs to the kitchen and Dipper and Mabel let go of his shoe. They get up to follow him out the exit, but Soos blocks the door, "Whoa! I don't know dudes; this room gives me major, creep-o vibes. You know, the attic is a pretty good space. Maybe you two should appreciate what you got." We can handle it, 3 said annoyed.

Dipper and Mabel look at each other before running past Soos. Soon Dipper, 3, and Mabel are in the kitchen, elbowing each other and stood in front of Stan. He held up a key and announced, "Okay, here's how it's gonna go down. Whoever sucks-up the hardest gets the key to the new room." Once again, great parenting.

"Grunkle Stan, we're not gonna suck-up to you just to get the new room." Dipper said, stubbornly.

"Yeah we are!" Mabel said happily.

"Ten suck-up points for Mabel!"

"I mean-uh-yeah we are!" Dipper said hurried.

"Trying too hard. Minus 15 suck-up points." Negative scores!?

"What?"

"Good decision Grunkle Stan!" Mabel said smugly.

"Trying way too hard! Plus 50 suck-up points!" I'm starting to think Stan is way too biased towards Mabel.

Dipper's expression darkened. Stan then held up a bucket, "Now, who wants to re-tile the roof in searing 105 degree heat?"

Dipper and Mabel both called, "Me me! I'll do it!"

Dipper took the bucket and ran outside, with Mabel on his heels.

"Gimme it!"

"No!" Dipper called

"It's mine!"

"Mine!"

"I'll kill you!" Mabel cried.

"You're a selfish brat!" 3 yelled, distracting Mabel, allowing Dipper to grab the bucket.

Later Dipper and Mabel are mowing the lawn while Stan watches them. Dipper stops for a second to take a break.

"Dipper, you're phoning it in!" Stan called and Dipper returned to work.

"Man, that's refreshing. 10 suck-up points for this lemonade!" He gave the lemonade a voice, "Thank you, Stan!"

"Oh-ho! 10 more for politeness. Oh, and so sweet"!

Dipper opened the door to the twin's room and took a break, "All these chores will be worth it when I get this room."

"Just a little more; we could always sabotage Mabel." We'll help if you take us with you, C and Sunset offered.

"Are you still mad about the Waddles thing?"

"No, it's just that she always gets her way; she has to understand that it'll never go her way all the time. Besides, I can't take anymore slumber parties." Same here.

Mabel then came into the room and said, "Hey brother. You'd better get comfortable. I just made Stan an omelet shaped like his own face."

Dipper growled at his smug sister and started to seriously consider 3's suggestion of sabotage. Mabel continued with a smirk, "Face it. I'm like a suck-up ninja. The room's as good as mine. You might as well give up now. What do you say?" She stretched out a hand.

"I say I'm gonna win the room somehow, and when I do I'll finally have my own space...and we'll never have to share anything ever again!" He slapped away Mabel's hand and turned away to sit on his bed. He pulled out 3 to look for something to get more suck-up points.

Mabel narrowed her eyes and looked at 3 and snatched it out of his hands.

"Hey!?" Dipper and 3 yelped.

"Give it back, Mabel!" Dipper said angrily, hold out his hands while 3 was so enraged, it was speechless.

"I will…if you give up!"

"Never!"

"Then I guess you won't see your nerdy book until you do!" She ran out the door, slamming it in his face. She raced down the stairs and into the room giggling.

"Now, where to hide this dumb book…" By this point, 3 was taking every inch of its patience not to start cursing the girl out. Mabel spotted a high shelf and shuffled over the shag carpet, making static to spark up from her shoes.

She stumbled a bit and dropped 3 on the carpet, making electricity spark on it. Ow…static!

Mabel leaned down and touched 3, making a spark connect between them, with a flash both 3 and Mabel screamed in terror.

"Urgh…What happened?" 3 groaned out holding its head in its hand. Wait, head? Hand? 3's eyes snapped open and stared down at the hands. "Wh-what the Hell?" 3's voice pitch has changed and it now sounded like, Mabel?!

It looked around and saw Journal 3 lying next to it. Oh, what happened? Why can't I move? 3 jerked back and realized that it could still hear books. 3 shakily stood up and stumbled to the mirror. Wait! That's my body! Mabel cried from the book.

3 stared at the mirror and made movements. It was in Mabel's body…her body…3 turned back to its old…body? And picked up Mabel. What's going on!? They both screamed in their heads.

"Okay…" 3 said, testing its new vocal cords, "Okay, obviously, the carpet switched our consciousness around." 3 looked at the dumbfounded Mabel and decided to introduce itself to Mabel. "Hello, Mabel. I'm Journal 3, the consciousness that resided in the book you stole from your brother." Wait what?! Does Dipper know you're a body stealing jerk!

3 frowned at Mabel and said, "You're really not in the position to start throwing names around, girl. Besides, you switched bodies all on your own. When you created static on the carpet, you switched our consciousness around. And as for if Dipper knows, well he's known for a long time." 3 could feel Mabel's confusion and betrayal. "Don't be like that, he just wanted a little harmless secret. Besides, I asked him not to." 3 scolded.

Why didn't you want to tell me? Mabel asked, despite herself. "I wasn't sure if we could trust you with my secret that you wouldn't tell the first boy you met about me. I didn't want to be taken away. I see…can I have my body back now? 3 chuckled and said, "I don't plan on staying in your body any longer than I have to. All I have to do is to generate static and we'll switch back." 3 stood up and walked towards the carpet when it heard Dipper banging on the locked door.

"Mabel! Give me back Journal 3!" He screamed outside the door.

3 took a step back, eyes widening. It realized, finally it had a body…it could spend time with Dipper, granted it was in his sister's body, but it'll take what it can get. It should probably do the mature and responsible thing and change back quickly but when will 3 ever get this chance again?

3 smiled winningly down at Mabel, "Change of plans, you'll have to wait until tonight until we switch back. I'm gonna go hang out with Dipper and you…well, do whatever it is, Mabel's do."

With that 3 stuffed Mabel under the 'L' couch and unlocked the door to see a red faced and angry Dipper on the other side. "Mabel! Give it back!"

'Mabel' smiled, "I would, if you do a little something for me." 3 said, laying it on a little thick. Dipper snarled and said, "I won't give up, Mabel!"

3 smiled, "Ah…I don't care about some dirty old room anymore! I realized that it was tearing our bond apart." 'Mabel' said, closing the door and leading Dipper to the den. "I decided to quit the contest, you deserve it more."

Dipper looked at his sister stunned, "Y-you really mean it?"

"Mmhm."

"W-wow, thank you Mabel. To tell you the truth, I really hate fighting with you, but can you please give 3 back?"

"Why so desperate to get it back? Is it alive or something?" 3 laughed at Dipper's terrified expression. "I'm joking, no need to be so serious. But that's the favor I want. The fighting has slightly torn our bond and we should mend it by going out…like brother and sister."

"Where would we go anyway?" Dipper asked happy to have made up with his 'sister.'

'Hey you! Yeah you! Just had a fight with family or significant other, well come down town to the one day only carnival? It has corn dogs, cotton candy and rides, Admission is FREEEEE!'

"Well that was convenient." 'Mabel' said, it turned to Dipper and said, "I'll go tell Grunkle Stan I'm withdrawing and I'll go get ready. See ya!" 'Mabel' waved and ran off.

3 knew it'll get a lot of grief for this later, but it'll make sure it was worth it.

Mabel meanwhile, was having a crisis. A book has possessed her body and is now using it to cozy up to her brother. The door opened and her body walked in, the book retrieved her from under the couch and carried her upstairs and laid her on Dipper's bed.

"Oh C, Sunset guess what happened!" 3 said in a sing-song voice. Mabel and 3 could feel the confusion coming from her and Dipper's books.

D-did 3 reveal us?! Sunset asked shocked. 3 knelt next to Sunset, "Sort of, well it turns out the new room has a magic carpet that can switch consciousness around. It's really me Sunset and you old-fashion stick in the mud."

If you're in Mabel, then that means…C trailed off in shock. "That's right; I'm in Mabel's in my….container? Well, regardless, I'm gonna go spend some time with Dipper in her body. Please take care of Mabel." 3 said with a wink and turned around, to figure out how to change clothes. It chose to wear a numbered shirt with a dark fuchsia background.

Don't worry 3; C said with a dark air, we'll take good care of her. 3 smiled and left the room. C and Sunset then turned their attention towards Mabel. Now, let's talk about being considerate about other people and keeping to an appropriate volume.

Dipper was waiting outside when 'Mabel' came back. "You took forever." Dipper laughed.

"What can I say? Perfection takes time." They laughed and Gompers the goat walked over to inspect the twins.

'Mabel' screamed and hid behind Dipper. "Whoa, what's gotten into you?"

"Oh…Ah…the goat just startled me!" 3 cursed the goat in its mind. Dipper looked at 'Mabel' suspiciously, "Forget about that, we don't have all day!" 3 yelled, pushing him towards town, trying to get away from the evil goat.

"Wow! The whole town is here." 3 gushed looking around the carnival.

"Well, there is really nothing to do in this town anyway." Dipper said nervous that he thought 3 wasn't with him, it the first time they've been 'separated.'

"Why are you so nervous, let's have fun!" 3 screamed Mabel-like in his ear, pushing him towards the attractions.

Dipper couldn't help but notice that something was off about Mabel. For one thing, she was terrible at shooter games which she was great at, thanks to her grabbling hook. She bulked at going to the petting zoo and muttered something about farm animals. She was scared to go on the Roller Coaster, which was weird because she loved them. She also liked clowns when Mabel thought they were creepy

The weirdest thing is when they ran into Pacifica and her groupies.

"Well, well if it isn't the Pines Twins. Shouldn't you 2 be working at the freak show? It started 20 minutes ago. Also Mabel," She started at 3's sweater in disgust, "Gold numbers on fuchsia? How gaudy." She laughed obnoxiously with her groupies.

Dipper growled, but 'Mabel' beat him to the punch. "Oh Pacifica, once again you couldn't coordinate your clothes unless they were different shades of the same color. Also, did you shower in makeup and perfume?"

Pacifica stopped dead and gaped at 'Mabel' who was smirking loftily. "Would you please leave? I rather not make you look more pathetic then you're already are by not bullying me. Yes, poop-shoveler?" Pacifica snarled and turned away with her entourage. Dipper was looking at 'Mabel' in bewilderment.

They later rested on a fence, eating cotton candy and Dipper had to stop her from drinking soda to prevent a repeat of the other time she did that.

"Hey Mabel, are you feeling okay?" He asked her, looking from the corner of his eye.

"I'm fine Dippe. Why do you ask?" 'Mabel' said, savoring the sweetness of the spun sugar on 'her' taste buds.

"Well…you've been acting weird." Dipper began, "You suddenly lost your skill at shooting games, you like clowns, and you suddenly hate roller coasters. You also stand upped to Pacifica, brutally and you suddenly hate farm animals!" 3 shuttered at that word. "Not to mention the prank you pulled Blubs and Durland."

Flashback

Dipper looked at his 'sister' wide eyed. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" He was looking down at the cops reading a newspaper.

"No, that why it's fun!" Dipper shrugged as 'Mabel' pour powdered glue and glitter into the car and he poured the water and feathers.

The cops screamed and started to run around. "We've became shiny chickens! My horoscope came true!" Durland screamed.

End Flashback

"Though it was pretty funny." Dipper continued, "Anyway, it's like you're entire personality has flipped. In fact…you started to sound like…" He was cut off when Old Man McGucket ran by them, chasing a familiar pig.

"Oh no! McGucket is going to eat Waddles!" Dipper cried, shooting to his feet.

"So." 3 asked still savoring the sweetness. Dipper looked at her shocked; she moped for a month when she lost him, now she didn't care!? Then his words caught up with it and shot to its feet. "Did you say Waddles!? Oh no, if anything happens to him, Mabel will kill me!"

3 chased after McGucket who had cornered Waddles, 3 dropped kick McGucket into the wall and grabbed Waddles, with Dipper glaring suspiciously at 3.

"Oh thanks, dude." Waddles said. 3 and Dipper froze then 3 realized, "Soos!?"

Soos in Waddles body nodded. "Yeah, wished I was a pig, it didn't work out. If you don't mind, I'm gonna pass out now."

"Okay Mabel!" Dipper turned accusingly at 3, "Or whoever you are, who are you and what have you done with Mabel.

The jig was up. 3 smiled sadly at Dipper and said, "I'll give you a hint, I use to be a book."

His eyes widened and said shocked, "3!? How are you in Mabel's body!?"

Mabel nervously twirled its hair and said, "Turns out the shag carpet can switch bodies with electricity. And, well, I and Mabel switched bodies…"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Dipper asked hurt.

"Well…I'm a book okay; I spent close to 30 years in a dark hole with spiders for my only company. Even when I was outside then, my Father was a secretive sort, so I didn't get a chance to explore." 3 sighed and sat Soos down to its side, it then smiled at Dipper, "Then you came along and you started taking me everywhere and I got to experience life; you even gave me a voice. But I wanted more, I didn't want to relay on you all the time, I wanted to experience it as a human, I wanted to walk, touch, and taste. Then it literary dropped into my lap, I knew I should've told you, but I wanted the experience."

Dipper put a hand on 3's back and said, "It's alright 3, I would've done the same thing." He then gave 3 a weak grin, "You know this isn't how I imagined how we'd tell Mabel."

3 laughed, "Yeah me neither. Do you think she'll be mad?"

"Nah, let's get some industrial sprinkles and she'll forgive you."

3, Dipper, and an unconscious Soos soon returned and found Mabel on his bed, "Hey Dipper! I'm a book!" Mabel said cheerfully.

3 walked over a picked up Mabel and they went back to the room to find a mad house. They saw the shiny, feathered cops, Soos's body, Candy, and Grenda switching bodies all over the place. After some confusion, the twin's managed to get them in the right bodies. 3 and Mabel then returned to normal.

3 then spoke up, "Umm…Mabel…I'm sorry for kidnapping your body. I just wanted to experience being a human." 3 said shamefully.

Mabel grinned and hugged 3 to her chest, "That's okay, I understand! I had a lot of fun when they finished the riot act." Mabel turned to Dipper and said, "Sorry for all the trouble I put you through, it turns out my slumber parties were a little annoying. Besides, I really didn't want the room anyway."

Dipper smiled, "I didn't want the room either, I was just jealous that you've been spending a lot of time with Candy and Grenda. It was just puberty."

"Awkward sibling hug?" Dipper asked, holding out his arms.

"Awkward sibling hug, pat, pat." Mabel then laughed, "Though next time you have a talking book, tell me okay." Keeping the fact that other books can talk a secret for a little revenge.

"I promise."

"You, know, we got a container of industrial sprinkles as an apology." 3 said, Dipper then gave 3 to Mabel to grab the container. Mabel looked at the book and said.

"I forgive you for the body run, but now I know that secret you have."

"Secret? What secret?" 3 said quickly, maybe leaving her with C wasn't its best idea.

"Oh nothing, just that you have a crush on my brother."

"N-no I don't!"

Mabel laughed as 3 spluttered. She wasn't mad, but she wasn't above teasing.
