Dipper's POV

"Dipper… Dipper… Wake up Dipper…" In the middle of my sleep someone was calling me. I could feel something on me so I opened my eyes and saw Mabel with only her underwear who was here on my bed.

"Mabel? What are you…"

"Shhhh…"

She put her finger on my mouth to stop to talk. I didn't what she was thinking but she came closer to me.

"Stay still Dip. I'll take care of you and thank you properly for yesterday. Just let me do." I couldn't get away or maybe I didn't want to even if I knew it was wrong. I just did as she said and closed my eyes. As the same time, something wet was touching my face. It was at this moment that I realized it.

"Hey hey! Stop, stop… Waddles…?" It was Waddles who was licking my face. I checked around me and no Mabel here.

"Was it a dream? But… why Mabel was here and like "that"? It's not like I…" I tried to understand this weird dream but someone interrupted me.

"You what? And like what was I?" Mabel appeared in front of the door and surprised me. I didn't notice her and she looked confused when she asked me that. The worst was that she heard me.

"Nothing! You hmmmm… you…." "Think! Think about something!". Nothing came, no matter how hard I focused it was empty in my head. The only thing left in my mind was the picture of Mabel that I saw in my dream.

"Don't mind, it… it was just a dream. Nothing important Mabel." I just avoided the topic and to look at her. I hoped that she will not insist but her curiosity was powerful as always and she didn't want to let it go.

"Oh, don't play that game with me Dipper. I know you're lying and why do you not look at me? What kind of…" She stopped for a few moments and when I finally looked at her she smirked.

"Why do you smile like this?"

"Maybe you had a naughty dream about your cute twin sister, right?" She said it with a great smile on her face. "I have to reply or who know what will she think!"

"What are you saying? Why would I have some dirty dreams about you, dum-dum?" I tried to counter her but I knew it was a weak answer. She sat on my bed next to me and put her face close to mine.

"Hey don't try to deny it, bro. But it's all right you know, I'll keep it for myself. Eh eh." She laughed but I really wanted to silence her. I pressed her on my bed and ended up on the top of her with my hands on her shoulders.

"What are you …" I immediately cut her to not let her reply. I look her right in the eyes during a brief time.

"I was dreaming of you and… you were really attractive. So cute that I didn't know what to do and what to think. You were right." "What am I saying? She'll think I'm weird!" I didn't know why I told her that. Maybe I just wished to stop her and but… "Why did I say that? I just said the first thing I thought." But just after this question, another came in my mind "Why is it the first and only thing that I could thought?". I stay focused trying to find an answer at my own question but Mabel began to talk.

"Hmm Dipper… I… Are you…serious?" She was lost of words and finally silent. I finally did it but I was not sure it was the better way. I smiled and answer her.

"Pffff you believed it huh? I finally shut you up dum-dum! It was just a prank to make you stop teasing me and it worked pretty well." I laughed to make it credible but I found it strange that she was quiet during a long time.

"Hey? You're okay? Was my prank too much? If so I'm sorry Mabe." I apologized because it was true that I overdid it so maybe she didn't like it.

"Huh?" She seemed to be unconscious but she quickly regained herself and smiled.

"No, you silly! Good play, you really got me this time, eh eh. But you shouldn't play with a girl's heart, it's really something delicate! Even if it's your sister's one." She laughed after that and I was reassured that she was back to normal. While a moment, I thought she was freaked out by what I said.

"Yeah I'll be careful and anyway I never really gifted with women. So, the chance that it happens are low." It was true, I never was at ease when I tried to discuss with someone I found attractive like Wendy when I had a crush on her.

"You're right. Anyway, just wake up! We have to prepare ourselves for the party." She became excited and pull me out of my bed. I checked the time.

"But it's only 10 a.m. When does the party begin?"

"Wendy said that we should be there at 7 p.m. But I know that you will take a long time just to hide your birthmark. Plus, I have to be awesome or else Pacifica will tease me."

"Okay, okay. Do what you have to do. I can take care of myself but I didn't take good clothes with me." Even if I wasn't really good for clothes and stuff, I had to do some efforts.

"Hmm I was sure that you didn't so I took a suit for you."

"Why did you bring one?"

"I wanted to ask to Pacifica to throw another party so I bring it for you in the case that she accepts. But I didn't have to ask to, she prepared it by herself." She can predict everything if a party is in game. Anyway, that was a good idea in this case because I never brought it by myself.

"Then I'm leaving you! I have a lot of stuff to take care!" She ran surely to took a long time to prepare herself for tonight.

Mabel's POV

"I have to choose a good dress to wear. I have to find something that will impress Pacifica." I was pretty excited for the party and I couldn't choose a good outfit to wear. I took care of pay attention at all the details to be perfect, hair, makeup, shoes, accessories but the only thing I couldn't was a good dress.

"Aaaaah! Which one should I wear? The red one? No, too shiny… Maybe the black one? Too dark…" I search the good one for many minutes and I decided to take a look at the time to check how much I had left.

"It's already 6 p.m.! Grrr… I can't find any which is… Good!" I finally found it, the perfect dress. A thigh cut dress, green but with the perfect hue. It was dark but just enough to glorify its color, the cut was not too high and even if it was simple I liked it. I wore it and looked at me in the mirror.

"I hope that Dipper will like it. Eh eh." It's at this instant, I remembered what happened to us this morning. When he pressed me on his bed, it was like my heart stopped. His face was so close to me that I could feel is breath on mine. I looked in his eyes, maybe it was only a few seconds but it seemed like a lifetime. And he said it.

"I was dreaming of you and… you were really attractive. So cute that I didn't know what to do and what to think."

When I looked again the mirror, I saw my face which was so red that I couldn't hide it. I was troubled by what he said especially when I was in love with him but "It was just a prank" he said. Honestly, I felt a bit disappointed but maybe it was better. No matter how much I loved him we couldn't be together because it's not "right" and I couldn't do anything to that. I had to move on and kept it to myself.

Shortly afterward, I went to check if Dipper was ready to go.

"Hey Dipper? Are you ready?"

"Not yet. I have can't get to put correctly this tie and it's really boring." I didn't have the choice but to help him or we would never leave this place.

"Don't worry, I'll do it for you, silly." While I was putting on his tie, he stayed quiet and kept staring at me.

"What's wrong? Did I make something bad?" I asked.

"… No, it's just that… I was thinking that… you look very good in this dress"

"Eh eh. Thanks. You're really handsome too, bro."

I was happy to hear these but in a way, it hurt me too but I knew it wasn't his fault. I just cleared my mind and focused to finish to put on his tie.

"Okay, I finished! We just have to go now, I don't want to be the last one to be there. I let you drive by the way"

"As if I'll let you drive my car."

Around fifteen minutes later, we were in front of Pacifica' mansion. We pass through the portal and went to the door. I knocked it and Pacifica welcomed us.

"Mabel and Dipper Pines! Happy to see you here. You both look really good tonight." She was really beautiful as usual. She wore a long purple dress with a little jacket, some earrings who looked really expansive and her usual makeup which make her look really pretty.

"Thanks Pacifica! You're beautiful tonight too. I'm happy to see you again. I really want to thank you for this party to celebrate our return in the town, it's really cool." I replied

"Yeah thank you. But are your parents okay with this?" Dipper, as usual, was worrying again.

"Don't worry, my parents are not here so I can do what I want. Come in, your friends are already here."

Once we came in, we could see the buffet on the table and all the people invited to the party. I was looking for Wendy and the others and heard a loud voice I could never forget. This voice belonged to one of my best friends Grenda and she was accompanied by Candy.

"Hi Grenda! Hi Candy! I'm so happy to see you here!"

"Us too! What's up since last summer?" She asked me.

Few minutes later, Wendy, Soos and Melody joined and we kept talking about everything and nothing.

Dipper's POV

It was almost two hours that we were at this party and I began to be hungry so I left Mabel and the others to eat something. The buffet was big and the choices for the food was bigger. I just pick some meat in a plate and began to it. After I filled my stomach, I looked through the window and saw Pacifica alone seated on a bench outside. I decided to talk to her so that she will have someone to be with. I went outside and sat next to her.

"Hi Pacifica. Your party is really nice, the food too by the way." It wasn't a good catchup line but it was just to begin the conversation.

"Hi Dipper. You're not with your friends?"

"No, I was hungry so I took something to eat and I saw you here, alone then I came here to see how you are. By the way, why don't you come with us?" I knew she wasn't at ease with everyone but she was our friend now and the "evil rich girl" we knew disappeared.

"I don't think I can be with all of you. You know, I may have changed but it doesn't change the fact that I was a bad person before. I have not totally paid yet for my faults." She really felt guilty about that. Since the day I helped her for this ghost story, she always did her best to be a better person but sometime she was too hard on herself.

"Hey, don't be like that. I know that you do your best right now. You don't have to be so hard with yourself it will not make the things better. In the worst case, it could just hurt you and hurt us."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe you don't notice it but we care about you because you're our friend. If anything would happen to you, we would all be sad. The others, Mabel and me of course." I said it to make her realize that she wasn't alone and that we were all here to help her if she needed. After my little speech, she sat closer to me and put her head on my shoulder. I didn't expect that, she was kind now but she never has been like this especially with me.

"Dipper… Do you really care about me?" I was disoriented, she was so closed that I could smell her perfume. I tried to calm myself to answer her.

"Yeah sure, we really care about you. Why would I lie to you?"

"That's not what I tried to say."

"What does she trying to say then" I thought.

"What I meant was: Do you, Dipper, really care about me?"

Mabel's POV

"Yeah, I know, it's really cool to have fun here with everyone!" I was with Grenda, Candy and Wendy. We were talking, laughing, in brief, we were just enjoying the time. We were here since some hours, eating snacks, drinking here and there. Soos went to eat something with Melody on the buffet. I really was missing to hang out with them.

"Hey Mabel? So, how was your walk after I left you yesterday?" When Wendy asked me that, I totally forgot to tell her about the little accident I had with Dipper so take this opportunity to do it.

"Oh yeah, I didn't tell you but I had a little accident after you left us. I fell in the lake from a cliff."

"What?! But are you okay? Why didn't you rest at the shack?" Candy looked worried about me but it was normal to worry about someone who would tell something like that.

"Rest and miss this party? No way! And I'm really okay, no injuries thanks to Dipper!"

"Dipper? He saved again huh?" Wendy smiled to me when she said that. She knew that Dipper would do anything to get me away from a dangerous situation and she was right.

"Yeah, he always was a good help to us. Especially when we punched everything when this triangular monster came! It was so cool to crush all these monsters" While she was talking, Grenda was imitating the Mystery Shack robot. It was amusing to watch her move like this.

I was listening to the girls talking about Dipper and all these mistakes, success and fun stuffs. The more they were talking and more I was thinking about him. His smile, his laugh, our adventures, all these times he sacrificed himself for me, all the trouble I caused to him. "I really tried Dipper. I tried to forget my love for you because I knew that wasn't a good thing but no matter how hard I'm trying I can't do it. Because… because…"

"I love you Dipper."

Comment from me :

Hi everyone ! I hope you liked this chapter because I kind of improvise a lot of things in the way of the writing ^^'. I had some ideas but I had to readapt to the situation I wrote to put the context. I wanted to conclude the party on this chapter but when I check the number of words I saw that I reached almost the 3,000 words so I just cut the next part to made it the first part of the next chapter ^^.

So this chapter has ended with a cliffhanger from Dip and Mabe's POV and there has been a bit of Dipcifica moments even if it wasn't planned like I thought ^^'.

By the way I wanted to ask you if you easily did the difference between dialogue and the thoughts of the character in italic? It's something I wanted to know because I think that sometimes it can be not clear so I wanted your opinion.

Anyway I hope you had a good time and see ya in the next chapter ! :D
