It was a slow day at the Mystery Shack. Wendy was slacking, Soos was doing something, Dipper and Stan had gone to town to 'discover' materials for new attractions. That left 3 and Mabel alone in the twin's room. Mabel was knitting and 3 was chatting with Sunset and C to past the time.

"3!" Mabel yelled, jumping onto Dipper's bed, next to 3. "Look what I made!" She held up a tube of yarn that was a deep fuchsia with gold question marks.

"Um…thanks…what is it?"

"Silly! It's your sweater!" She said brightly and forced 3 into its sweater, despite its protests.

"It's a little tight, Mabel. Though I appreciate the thought, I really don't need it considering I don't have a body."

"Then it'll be a fashion statement! You'll be the best dressed book ever, Trine"

"T-Trine!?"

"Well it's annoying calling you 3, all the time so I'll call you Trine!"

"Do-Do not rename people's names without their permission!"

"You don't like it?"

"No!"

"How about, Baba? Tigo? Teyr?" Mabel asked.

"I prefer 3" It said, irritated.

"So 3, got any weird things in your pages?" She asked after a while.

3 perked up and said, "Of course! I have entries of the creatures in Gravity Falls."

"Does it include vampires?"

3 growled, "Mabel, I've told you fifty times already. Vampires aren't sparkly, love sick, bleeding hearts who are misunderstood. They are merciless killers who will kiss you, then kill you."

"Oh you don't know that!"

"Yes I do, I told you this seventy times!"

"Do you have anything about mermaids? How about elves! Fairies? Or…" She gasped, "Unicorns?"

"Yes."

Mabel began shaking 3, yelling, "Unicorns! Take me to the Unicorn's!"

"I don't know, Mabel. Nothing is ever what it seems…"

"If you don't take me to the unicorns, then I'll tell Dipper that you like him." 3 spluttered denials, but Mabel kept on smiling until, "Fine! I'll take you to your dumb horses!"

Mabel squealed and ran out of room as 3 let out a string of curses out loud that would make a sailor blush. Mabel then ran back into the room with a knap sack and she had a knitted hat that looked like Dipper's only it was pink, had a shooting star on it, and it was made of yarn.

"Let's go find the Unicorn's!" She screeched excitedly and ran off with 3.

Mabel was later reading a reluctant 3 in the middle of the forest, "Okay, we should find a river and there will be a gigantic x nearby and we will follow huge slashes to the herd of Unicorn's."

"Mabel, maps don't work that way. You should know, remember Pioneer Day!"

"Don't be silly, Dipper reads the map."

"Sigh…Okay, I'll say this slowly, there are no x's or slashes, the x is where you stand, and the slashes represent yards. So you walk in that path and distance."

"Maps are so complicated."

3 groaned and wished Dipper had taken it with him. Soon Mabel got lost, got pelted with nuts by angry squirrel's, chased by an ogre, nearly killed by singing trees, and nearly mad a deal with the fay. All in all, 3's temper was worn out to the point; it couldn't muster up the temper to scream at Mabel.

"Wow, adventuring is hard. Does Dipper always have these types of problems?" Mabel asked, to 3's surprise, she was as energetic as she was when they started.

"No. He is careful and at least reads ahead about creatures he may encounter." 3 said shortly and exhausted.

"Oh My Gosh! There they are!" Mabel called out suddenly, pointing at silvery white blobs grazing nearby.

"Finally." 3 muttered as Mabel raced through the trees towards the blobs, laughing.

She stopped in the middle of the herd who snorted at her sudden appearance. 3 would've shifted uncomfortably if it could, it didn't like the gleam in their eyes. It reminded 3 of Gompers when it started at 3.

"H-hey Mabel, I don't think this is a good idea anymore. I remember Dipper saying something about Unicorn's that didn't quite fit the stories about them." 3 told Mabel as she approached one. "L-let me check."

"Gravity Falls Unicorn's: White horses with a single horn. They can glow in the dark and are considered to be good fortune. However, like everything in Gravity Falls, there's a dark side. Unicorn's that reside here has a taste for female children…" Mabel froze and the Unicorn's started to advance on her, opening their muzzles to reveal razor sharp teeth with glowing eyes.

"Mabel, RUN!"

She didn't need to be told twice, she punched the closest one in the face and began running through the forest. They could hear the stampede of Unicorn's bearing down in them. Mabel began reaching into her bag and started throwing things at them. Things such as glitter, Smile Dip, some Pitt soda, and a tennis racket.

"What do we do?!" Mabel screamed as one got close enough to take a bite out of her sweater.

"I don't know! It's like the gnome's, weaknesses are unknown! My Father never went near these things! It just proves that most farm animals are evil!"

"My Waddles isn't evil!"

"I said most!" 3 screamed back, but then noticed something, the Unicorn that ate Mabel's sweater began choking then it keeled over, foaming at the mouth; the Unicorn's stopped and looked at their fallen comrade in alarm.

3 glanced at Mabel's sweater and realized, "Mabel! Yarn and wool are their weakness, it makes them sick!" Mabel then grinned darkly, holding up a ball of yarn and her hat threateningly. The Unicorn's backed up a bit in fear, and then snorted angrily.

The Unicorn's started pursuit again, now Mabel was slowing down a bit and shoving yarn down the Unicorn's throat, slowly picking them off until they were gone.

"Woo! We did it we defeated the Uni-Jerk's!"

"Yeah-we-" Their celebrating was called off when the ground started to shake; a Unicorn about the size of the Multi-bear came lumbering in. It glared at them and let out an ear splitting roar that chased all the animal's away and charged them.

They ran once again and realized that they had used up all the yarn with the others; it chased them past the fay, the ogre and the trees, crushing anything in its wake. Finally, Mabel tripped and it leered over her and it opened its mouth to snatch her up.

Mabel screamed, "3, I'm sorry I got us into this mess!"

"I'm sorry for not remembering in time!"

"I'm sorry that my sweater for you was too tight!"

"Wait the sweater! Feed it to the Leader unicorn!"

Mabel took off 3's sweater and shoved it down the unicorn's throat. The unicorn began to groan and swell up then it burst into flames, leaving nothing but its horn and white sparkle's. 3 and Mabel were thrown clear to the Mystery Shack and landed with an "oomph."

Just as Dipper and Stan returned from their track into town.

"Yesh, what happened to you kid?" Stan asked, carrying fake eyes and fur.

"Nothing Grunkle Stan, just playing with glitter and explosives!"

"As long as you don't do it in the Shack, continue." He said walking in; Dipper walked up and asked, "What the heck happened?"

"Oh you know we fought evil unicorns with my sweaters."

Later that night, Dipper was adding to 3 while, Mabel reknitted 3's sweater, it was now wine colored with gold hands and the Big Dipper's decorating it. If 3 had eyes, it would be glaring daggers at Mabel. As though she sensed it, she started giggling uncontrollably.

"What a day." She sighed happily. Dipper looked at her and said, "You're telling me, you 2 were nearly eaten alive by unicorns. I hope you learned this as a lesson, Mabel."

"Yeah, yeah, never go on monster hunts without you. So how about we go hunting for mermaids next week!"

"She didn't learn anything!"

A/N: Well, here's some Mabel and 3 bonding time. Next chapter, the poll will close to decide 3's gender.
