Made Me Realize
Chapter 1: Back to Gravity Falls
Hi! My name is bellachristina1812 (as you can see in my profile:D) This is my first Gravity Falls story so please don't be mean when reviewing ｡◕‿‿◕｡Please note that I will reply any review except for Guess (We can't reply to guess, sorry...:'( ) So...R&R please :D
Dipper's POV
Back at Gravity Falls again, as thirteen years old this time. Last year at Gravity Falls was full of memories and adventures and I can't wait to do it again. Mabel seems to be that way too. She kept asking me what Gravity Falls will look like when we return. Of course, I don't know, but I always told her it will look the same way as ever be. We just can't wait to see Grunkle Stan, Wendy, Soos, and our friends there.
I'm now the same height as Mabel, but she still believes that she'll still going to be taller than me eventually since she thinks that she's the Alpha twin or whatever it is. She still loves knitting and cuddly things. She's slightly mature now, but she gave up finding boys. Guess she got traumatized after realizing that her boyfriend was a bunch of gnomes and the other one was a nine-year-old jerk. I felt sorry for her. I mean, it's not her fault that her relationship was messed up. I always keep her away from boys and girls involving stuffs so she wouldn't be upset. Once, we were invited by Mabel's best friend to a Valentine's Day celebration, and Mabel couldn't say no to her own best friend. We're supposed to dance with someone whom we like, but she stood in the corner while sadly watching the others dance. Few boys asked her out, but she refused. I haven't got a pair yet, so I asked her to dance with me. At first, she refused, but then again, she knew that I didn't get a pair and felt sorry for me. She finally agreed, but I know she wasn't feeling any better.
You might be thinking why in the world are we here again. We have no idea. When we came back from Gravity Falls last year, Mabel told our parents everything, yes, EVERYTHING. Of course, like every normal parents, they didn't believe her. They thought she was daydreaming too much in Gravity Falls, because Mabel has never told a single lie to our parents. They always believe her, but this time it was way too far for our parents to believe. Of course, I know she was telling the truth because I experienced the same thing, but it was still useless if I told them that. If my parents didn't believe Mabel, it's a miracle that they believe me if I told them the same thing. So, I kept my mouth shut. No matter how hard she asked me to tell my parents she wasn't lying or daydreaming about our adventures in Gravity Falls, I didn't gave her any response. Our parents thought Gravity Falls were messing her mind or something like that, but they still send us here like there's no other place we could go in our holiday.
And here we are, back at Gravity Falls, again. Mabel can't wait to see her friends and especially Waddles. Our parents didn't allow Mabel to bring Waddles, so we left him here at the Mystery Shack. I secretly asked Wendy to take care of him, since I know Grunkle Stan wasn't to be trusted if it's about pet sitting. He once almost "cooked" Waddles in the fireplace. Mabel stopped him at the right time before he could push Waddles into the fire and turn him into cooked pork. It was hard for Mabel to give Waddles goodbye, literally. She spent an hour to say goodbye to him, excluding the crying, making goodbye cards, and such. Our parents must drag her into the car and she cried in the car like a desperate maniac. Just hope for the best that this year she would forgot to do her goodbye "ritual" this year.
Mable's POV
We're going back to Gravity Falls again! Yay! I totally can't wait to see Grunkle Stan, Soos, Wendy, Grenda, Candy, and…WADDLES! Mom and Dad didn't want to keep Waddles as a pet, so I need to leave him behind. But today, I'm going to see him again, WOO-HOO! This is going to be best vacation ever!
An hour later…
Dipper's POV
"Are we there yet?" Mabel moaned. I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, sis. We're almost there."
"I can't take it anymore…" she whined.
"So much for being mature", I thought. I read the mysterious book that I foundlast year at Gravity Falls. I haven't read it much after I left Gravity Falls since I got less time to read it. After like another thirty minutes, the bus finally stopped. It's only an hour and a half trip, but it's the most torturous hour of my life. She kept asking while poking me, "Are we there yet? How much longer?" She even asked the bus driver and the other passengers. Really embarrassing, but I'm used to it now. But at last I need to tie her on the chair and taped her mouth to keep her from doing that again. We unloaded our things from the bus (after I untied her and released the tape on her mouth) and start heading to the Mystery Shack.
"Do you still remember the way to Mystery Shack?" Mabel asked me while I was studying the map.
"Don't worry", I told her. To tell the truth, I didn't remember exactly the way, but at least I could read a map and according to my analysis, we'll be there in no time.
"Dipper, I think we're lost", Mabel shook my arm to get my attention.
"Don't bother me; the reason why we are lost is because of you asking me all the time", I told her.
"It's not my fault! It's yours!" she protested.
I didn't want to admit it but it is my fault that we were lost. I pretended not to listen by studying the map. She kept talking and talking, though.
"Dipper!" she said, annoyed. "Are you even listening to me?"
"What is it?" I asked, also annoyed.
"Let's ask for directions", she suggested.
"Who should we ask? There's no one in the forest, Mabel", I told her.
Just then, someone appeared from the bushes.
"Like perhaps, that one?" Mabel said, grinning.
I sighed and walked to the person. I realized that person was Robbie. He looked startled seeing us.
"Dipper? What are you doing here?" he asked, confused. "I thought you left Gravity Falls."
"Well, I came back, duh", I rolled my eyes.
"Oh, uh, that's great", Robbie said. I could tell he wasn't happy or expecting to see me.
"Do you mind if you could show us the way to the Mystery Shack?" Mabel asked him.
He looked at us doubtfully. I'm pretty sure he was trying to decide whether to help us or not.
"Alright, come with me", he said at last, slightly annoyed.
"Thanks", I said, though I really didn't mean it.
After ten minutes, we saw the Mystery Shack just about fifteen meters away.
"Okay, there you are kid", Robbie pushed us forward.
"Wait, you're not going inside the Mystery Shack? You do want to see Wendy, right?" I asked him, confused. He had always been looking for Wendy ever since I know him.
"Yeah, right. She's not even worth it", he said, walking back to the forest.
"Wait!" I ran after him, but he disappeared.
"Okay, your problem", I shrugged. I didn't have any idea what's going on with his relationship with Wendy, but I know that it's not going on well.
"Hey, Dipper! Are we going to Mystery Shack or what?" Mabel catches up.
"Oh, yeah, let's go", I came back to reality. We went to the Mystery Shack and realized that Wendy and Soos were waiting for us.
"Hey, dudes, where were you?" Soos asked.
"Yeah, you're really late. You said you're going to be here at three", Wendy said. I looked at my watch. "Yikes! Is four past thirty already!" I thought.
"Waddles!" Mabel shrieked with delight. She hugged him like she never hugged anything before. Waddles seemed happy to see Mabel as well, although I'm pretty sure he's going to be suffocating any sooner or later.
"Thanks", I smiled to Wendy.
"No prob'", she said, smiling back.
"Hey, where's Grunkle?" Mabel asked while carrying Waddles.
"He got tired of waiting for you guys, so he went back in", Wendy said. I felt sorry for Grunkle; I guess we were kind of late. Okay, very late.
"He's watching the TV, dudes", Soos told us.
We went inside with Soos and Wendy and saw Grunkle Stan sitting on the sofa, watching the TV. Mabel ran and hugged him, almost toppling him off the sofa.
"Grunkle Stan!" she said, putting her arms around him.
"Whoa, you nearly gave me a heart attack, girl!" Grunkle said, steadying himself.
"Sorry we're late, Grunkle", I apologized to him.
"Well, look who's here! How are you, Dipper?" he turned to me.
"Just fine", I said, putting my duffle bag and suitcase on the floor and hugged him.
"Good to see you, Grunkle", I said while hugging him.
"Good to see you too", he patted my back. "So, why were you late?"
"We got lost on our way", I told him.
"Oh, so how did you make your way here?" Wendy asked while reading a magazine
"Robbie guides us here", Mabel said.
Wendy didn't response for a while.
"Robbie?" she asked again while putting down the magazine.
"Yeah, Robbie", Mabel said.
"He said he didn't want to see you", I told Wendy.
"And you're not worth it", Mabel added.
"Yeah, what is that all about?" I asked her.
"Oh, I'd just dumped him a while ago", Wendy said, picking up the magazine she had been reading before.
"Why?" I asked. I still didn't get the situation. Did they break up when we left?
Unfortunately, I need to stop here, sorry :( I've got another story to continue so it will take a while for me to update the next chapter. I apologize for any spelling and grammar errors. Please R&R
