Chapter 6: Kissing Dipper

AN: Sorry this took so long life got in the way. You'll have to thank Maydaygirl-save-our-ships for basically forcing me to write. This chapter was fun.

The man woke up his hand reaching for his head. He looked around at them, his eyes widening in fear as he saw Stacy. He finally got up and quickly ran away. They all stayed silent for a moment until Pacifica couldn't hold it in any longer,"A Succubus? As in a demon who enchants married men into having sex with them?" Pacifica accused.

"No, well yes, but...the lores not completely correct..." Stacy explained.

"Well, I don't care what you are, Stacy, I love you. I can help you, protect you," Dipper offered.

"No, Dipper," Stacy's voice quivered through her tears. "You don't love me."

"Yes I do! I can prove it. I'll do anything for you, anything you want," Dipper said.

"Stacy, stop it! Stop controlling, Dipper! He'll help you even if you don't enchant him. So stop!" Pacifica yelled.

"You can do whatever you want to me, Stacy. I don't mind," Dipper assured her.

"I don't know how to stop it. Dipper, I'm so sorry, I- I don't know-" She couldn't continue through her tears.

Dipper wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace, placing a hand on the back of her head, stroking her hair, as she cried into his shoulder. "Shh, it's going to be okay, Stacy. We'll figure it out. Please don't cry. It hurts my heart to see you this way."

"Dipper, snap out of it!" Mabel exclaimed. "You can't help if you're under Stacy's influence. Stacy, maybe you should back away from my brother seeing as how the last few people you influenced are in a coma."

Stacy's breath hitched. "You-you're right, Mabel." She instantly put a distance between herself and Dipper.

"Stacy, I don't care if I go into a coma. Just let me hold you, please. I want to comfort you. I need to," Dipper begged reaching out for her.

"No, Dipper," Stacy commanded.

Dipper hands immediately went to his sides.

"Okay, actually can you teach me how to do that?" Mabel asked.

"Mabel, focus. She's enchanting your brother and the longer he's under the more likely he'll be put into a coma. She's Dangerous," Pacifica warned.

"Right!" Mabel turned to the terrified Stacy. "Can you please stop it?"

"I...I told you. I don't know how." She shook her head.

"What do you mean you don't know how! Stop it before he's in the coma or worse." Pacifica demanded.

"You don't understand."

"Then explain it to us." Mabel looked at her kindly hoping a friendly face would get her to talk.

"I...it's only by touch that I can feed off the life source and even then it only happens sometime. I don't know what triggers either the life force sucking or the enchanting. I… I don't think him being enchanted can hurt him…"

"That's not exactly reassuring," Mabel said.

"My dad...he was under the influence for a year and he was fine."

"Ew! You made your dad fall in love with you?" Pacifica cringed.

"What?! No! My mother did...she was or is a Succubus."

"Well, why isn't she helping you control this thing?" Pacifica asked.

"She left when I was born...I didn't show any signs of being a Succubus...she didn't want anything to do with me because of that. My dad, he raised me to be normal child because that' what he thought I was. When my powers first started coming in on my 17th Birthday about a week ago he told me what was going on. I didn't believe him at first. Succubuses can't be real...but then Mr. Riegner...I couldn't deny it any longer."

"What happened with Mr. Riegner?" Mabel asked knowing that if Dipper were in his right mind he would have done so himself.

"I...I'm not...I failed Chemistry last year and I wanted to talk to him after class...I just wanted to ask for tips on how to study I swear...but I don't know my powers enchanted him and he...well he declared his love."

"He doesn't love you like I do!" Dipper exclaimed.

"Shh, Dipper, no talk, talk." Mabel put a finger to her lips as she wagged her index finger with the other hand. "The people in their right minds are talking."

"When he tried to kiss me I panicked-"

"That Bastard! I'll defend your honor!" Dipper said.

"Dipper, what did we just talk about? Why don't you go over there and make a flower crown for Stacy." Mabel said pointing to a flower bush in someone's yard.

"If that's what you want?" Dipper asked Stacy.

"I… yeah sure," Stacy answered.

"Your wish is my command." Dipper bowed with a flourish before bounding off towards the flowers.

"Okay, we seriously need to find out how to break this because this is getting ridiculous and not to mention gross," Pacifica said with arms crossed.

"We will," Mabel assured her. "Now, Stacy, please continue."

She looked at Dipper worriedly before turning back to the girls. "Well, he tried to kiss me...and I panicked. I just wanted to push him off of me, I swear." Tears fell down her cheeks once more. "He seemed… he seemed to like me touching him at first… my dad says the first minute is like having the most intense orgasm of your life… gross I know. But after that...well he tried to pry me off...but I couldn't-" Stacy covered her mouth with her hands as her tear overtook her once more.

"It's okay, Stacy, we won't judge you," Mabel reassured her. Pacifica snorted causing Mabel to glare at her.

"I couldn't stop. I tried but it was like drinking water after being stranded in the desert for forty days. I didn't even hear him asking me to stop until it was too late… when I finally heard his pleas he'd already almost doubled in age. I pried myself off of him but the damage was already done. He fell to the ground and he wasn't responsive. I didn't know what to do so I ran."

"You just left him there?" Pacifica asked scathingly.

"Pacifica!" Mabel hissed.

"I know I should have called 911 or something, but I was so scared," Stacy explained.

"You were scared when that guy," Mabel asked gesturing to where he ran off too, " harassed you right?" Stacy nodded. "How about when you were with Kevin?"

Stacy flinched at his name. "He… he found me. I was so happy to see him but then he began to become enchanted as well. His hands were so tight." She hugged herself tightly. " Kevin's so big… I didn't… he's my best friend… I… I tired to stop it but I couldn't." She blinked back tears. "And now he's in a coma and it's all my fault. I can't even go to see him because I don't want to make it worse."

"I think...I mean unless there is something we're missing, I think your sucking thing is triggered by fear." Mabel explained.

"What?" Stacy asked confused.

"The whole sucking thing, I mean, you didn't hurt Dipper when he touched you because you're not afraid of him."

"No one's afraid of that pipsqueak." Pacifica rolled her eyes.

"Of course she's not afraid of me," Dipper said making each girl jump at his sudden appearance. "She knows how much I love her."

"No you don't!" Pacifica stamped her foot.

"Of course I do, I even made her this crown." He grinned broadly at Stacy offering a terrible rendering of what was supposed to be a flower crown.

Stacy gave a watery smile. "Thank you, Dipper. That's so sweet of you."

"It'll look beautiful in your hair...well, I mean anything would look beautiful on you, you're amazing," Dipper said.
"Okay," Pacifica interrupted loudly, "can we get to the whole breaking the enchantment thing?"

"She's right. We really need the old Dipper back. Is there anyway except the sucking of his life force that you can think of to break this?"

Stacy shook her head. "I asked my father, but he doesn't know either...it's not like he and my mother actually talked. I mean he was enchanted their entire relationship."

"There has to be something all of the enchantments have in common. Just like with the putting people in a coma when you're scared," Pacifica reasoned.

"I don't think so-"

"Then think harder, Stacy!" Pacifica urged.

Stacy's eyes lightened in comprehension. "I… I wanted something."

"What do you want? I can get it for you." Dipper smiled at her.

"She wants you to hell shut up," Pacifica murmured.

"Do you-"

Mabel interrupted Dipper. "What do you mean you wanted something?"

"With Mr. Riegner I wanted his help and Kevin too… I wanted his comfort."

"What about creepy guy and Dipper though?" Pacifica asked.

"I wanted Dipper to believe me. He said that he could help me and I wanted that to be true so badly. He's such a sweet kid, really." Stacy smiled softly.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. What did you want from creepy guy?" Pacifica asked arms crossed.

Stacy thought about it for a while. "I think he was just influenced by my want of Dipper."

"I knew you loved me too. We could run away together, Stacy. You wouldn't have to be afraid anymore." Dipper smiled taking her hand in his.

"No, no, none of that." Mabel took Dipper's hand back. "We're still not sure my theory is correct and I'd rather not test it out on you."

"Stacy would never hurt me. We're in love, Mabel. Why can't you just be happy for us?"

"You're not in love, Stupid. You're magically, obsessively, infatuated with her. Get with the program." She rolled her eyes at Dipper before turning back to Stacy. "Look can you just stop wanting him? We'd all really appreciate it."

"Why aren't we influenced?" Mabel asked.

"People who have found their soulmates and admitted to themselves that they have feelings for them, even if it isn't out loud, aren't affected." Stacy explained.

Mabel looked at Pacifica. "Well, then, who do you like Pacifica?"

"What? No one."

"You're not influenced by Stacy," Mabel coaxed.

"That's because she doesn't want anything from me."

"Yeah, but she wants something from Dipping Sauce and that was enough to influence the creeper, so it should be enough to be influencing you too." Mabel grinned.

"Well, what about you, Mabel? You're always flitting from guy to guy. Who exactly is your soulmate?" Pacifica countered.

"Jonathan," she said simply.

Pacifica's mouth dropped. "You just met him like a week ago?"

"Yeah, he's amazing. When you know, you know, you know?" Mabel said.

"Last summer you were talking about Andrew being your soulmate, then Justin, then Martin, and then Jose, and I swear one time you said your pig!" Pacifica accused.

"I can have more than one soulmate," Mabel sniffed. "Obviously not Andrew, Justin, Martin, or Jose, but Waddles and Jonathan are definitely the one and only for me."

"They can't be your one and only if there are two," Pacifica said exasperatedly.

"Mabel! What have I told you about code 24?" Dipper grimaced at his sister.

"Dipper! You're back!" Mabel exclaimed engulfing him in a hug. "How're you feeling?"

"My head hurts...and did I make a flower crown."

"Honestly, I don't think you could call what you made a flower crown but…" Mabel shrugged.

"Are you sane again?" Pacifica asked.

"I think so." He glanced at Stacy. "How did you stop it?"

"I got so distracted by Mabel and Pacifica I completely forgot I wanted your help," Stacy answered. "And I'm trying really hard to not want that."

"Well, you don't have to because you've got it, Stacy."

"Oh no, not again!" Mabel cried.

Dipper rolled his eyes, "I meant that as in a friend way."
"Just checkin' bro-bro." Mabel grinned.

"Can someone please fill me in? I wasn't exactly myself earlier."

Stacy repeated her story to him.

"Is there anyway to get in contact with your mom? Maybe she could help you control your powers, or is this normal?" Dipper asked.

"No, it's not normal. Succubuses should be able to choose their targets and not influence people in the near vicinity or on accident. Also, usually they make people turn to dust when they suck their life force, not a coma. Although, some do just enchant humans for a while and feed on the regularly like my mother did with my father. And I wouldn't hold my breath for her help. That bitch left when I was born just because I didn't show signs of being a Succubus. My dad is all I need"

"Obviously not if you're going on a coma spree," Pacifica said. Mabel elbowed her. "Ow! What was that for?" She hissed.

"You know what it's for, missey." Mabel glared.

"Look, I have to go home. My dad's waiting for me and after all that has happened I don't want to worry him," Stacy said.

"Okay." Dipper nodded. "But we should talk tomorrow. Okay?" he asked her.

"Yeah, sure, where should we meet?"

"Do you know the Mystery Shack?" he asked. Stacy nodded. "Okay, meet us there tomorrow at noon."

"Okay. Thank you, all of you, for believing me and helping me find my triggers. You don't know how much that means to me."

"Of course. It's what we do." Dipper grinned at her.

Stacy smiled before leaning down to place a kiss to his cheek, leaving Dipper star struck. "See you tomorrow." Stacy turned and walked away with a small wave.

"Who does she think she's kidding? Kissing Dipper like that. You'd think she wanted him under her control. That's just disgusting." Pacifica ranted.

"I think she was just grateful." Mabel answered at Dipper was still stunned.

"We're the ones who figured everything out! Dipper was completely useless."

Dipper shook his head as if he had water in his ears. "Hey! I wasn't completely useless!"

"Hate to break it to you bro, but she's totally right on this one. Completely useless." Mabel conferred. "Like waxing Grunkle Stan, it's only going to grow back an hour later."

"Why do I even associate with you two?" Pacifica groaned.
