Mabel's POV
"Hmmm… Mabel?" The voice of Wendy woke me up and I looked at her but her face looked weird.
"Hum… Yeah Wendy?!"
"Hmmm I think you said something about Dipper."
"Don't tell me… Did I say it out loud?! I didn't pay attention! What should I do?!" I was stressed, I couldn't think. I was so afraid to look like a freak that I tried to find a solution.
"Are you sure? Eh eh. Maybe you misheard something no?" I tried to smile but even I knew that it wasn't credible.
"You said something like you loved him or something like that."
"No, no. It's just huh… you know… He's my brother and… It's not like I loved him… but yeah, of course I love him but not in a weird way!" "No, no, I'm too anxious. They'll find out!"
"Hey, hey, calm down! Take a breath and just tell us what is happening to you." Wendy tried to relax me as she could but it didn't change the fact that I had to tell her the truth. I knew her and I knew that she wouldn't let me go without explaining the truth. Plus, I was really bad to lie.
Once I calmed myself, Wendy took me outside and we sat on one of the bench. In the stress and fear, I cried a bit and have red eyes.
"So, girl. What's the deal? Why were you so panicked earlier?" Wendy asked me with a gentle tone to make me comfortable but I didn't know if I really should tell her the truth.
"I… I don't know if I should tell you something like this…"
"Hey girl, you and your brother always helped me in the past in these weird adventures. And we both know that I'll never judge you no matter what you will tell me."
"Even if it's really weird?" I wanted to be sure before to tell her everything. I know she was a really good and cool person but it's for that reason too that I didn't want her to avoid me because of what I felt.
"You know, we fought a monster which can transform in anything, some others from another dimension and this triangular demon. So, I think our norm of weirdness must be different now and what you're hiding can't be worst that what we met. Unless if you married with one of these creepy goblins in the forest. Brrr…" I laughed at her joke and maybe she was right. I took a big breath to prepare myself and told her.
"So… the point is that… yeah. I love Dipper but not just as a sibling but I'm in love with him." A silence showed during a short time before Wendy began to make a strange face and stare at me. She looked like she was trying to focus or something like that.
"When?" She asked.
"When what?" I replied.
"When did you fall in love with him? Why? Will you tell him? Does he love you too? Oh no! Don't tell me you're already dating?" She was smiling and excited while she was bombarding me with her question. It surprised me but, in the same time, I was relieved.
"No, no, we're not! He doesn't even know about what I feel. And for when I fell in love, I don't really know… I think it's when he saved me from this "Perfect world bubble". When he decided to stay with me and not become our Grunkle Ford apprentice I felt happy. But it wasn't a usual happiness because I was so afraid to be separated from him that I couldn't support it if I had to." It was true. First, I didn't want to be away from my friends but if Dipper would not be with me anymore I would be alone. That's why I was so sad when I heard his conversation with Grunkle Ford.
"At the beginning, I thought it was just a normal sibling's love but with the time I understood it was more than that. I tried to hide it form everyone and especially from him. Lately, I thought I was able to move on but since yesterday's accident my feeling became stronger."
"Why? Did something happen between you?" I told everything that happened, the conversation I had with him before I fell, the fake kiss a.k.a. the CPR and what happened this morning. When I came to the end, she laughed at me.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked her.
"Why? You're funny, girl. You did all that and you're troubled by telling him what you feel? Your poor brother must be even more troubled than you right now. But seriously, I think you should tell him."
"Are you sure? Because even if we exclude the weird part of it, don't you think that loving his sibling is wrong?" I wanted to know what she thought about it.
"To be honest, maybe it's not a right thing to fall in love with your sibling." It was her opinion. When I listened to her, I just looked at the ground and thought "Yeah… I knew it. If even her think that then…" she suddenly continued.
"But it's just the majority opinion. I don't think it's wrong in this case because you really love him and I don't think it makes you a sick person or anything. Your feelings are sincere and that's why I think you should tell him." Her speech cheered me up, I was happy to have this conversation with her.
"Thanks Wendy… I understand why my brother had a crush on you. You're really cool." I smiled to her and she hugged me.
"Anyway, you don't have to shout your love to everyone. Just share it with the person you trust. If they really cared about you they'll understand and for the rest… just don't pay too much attention."
"Yeah, you're right."
"So, what are you going to do now?" She asked me that but it was evident for me.
"I have to find Dipper and tell him everything! It must be somewhere around!" I was motivated to confess my love to him as soon as I could.
"I saw him going outside earlier after he finished eating, maybe he's close?"
"Oh, thanks. I'll try to find it!"
"I'm going to help you. If I find him I'll call you."
I nodded to her and started to look around. I searched for around ten minutes but no signs of him. I kept going and heard Pacifica's voice in the garden so I decided to go there and ask her if she had seen him.
"Pacifica! Did you see…Dipper…?" But what I saw wasn't what I expected. She was with him, her head on his shoulder. They looked so closed that I just hide near them right in the middle of their discussion.
"Do you, Dipper, really care about me?" That's what Pacifica asked to him. I wasn't really surprised because I kind of suspected that she had something toward my brother. I was curious to hear what Dipper will answer so I stayed even if I knew it wasn't good.
"Hmm… Yeah… I care about you Pacifica. But you know it's just that…"
"You silly, eh eh. For once, a girl is like that with you just lost your word? You've always been like that. Eh eh." I was gently making fun of him while he tried to talk with Pacifica. Just after, she totally cut him.
"Dipper, I love you and I want you to be with me. Thanks to you I changed and you have always supported me when I needed. So, I'm asking you. Would you like to date me?"
When she confessed to him, I was happy for him but also sad because I didn't have the right to invite myself between them. "It would be selfish from me". Then I just made a little smile and left them. In my way, I bumped into Wendy.
"Did you find Dipper? Because I searched inside the other and nothing."
"Yeah. I found him but he was in the middle of something so I left." I didn't tell her about him and Pacifica. I just say it to not worry her.
"Oh… hmmm okay. So, where are you going now?" Maybe she saw that I wasn't really well and asked me that.
"I'm kinda tired so I'm going home. Could you tell the others?"
"Yeah okay but… what about Dipper? Didn't you both come with the car?"
"It's all right, I'll walk. I know the way." I just wanted to go home, lay down on my bed and accept the reality.
Wendy's POV
I just saw Mabel leaving but I realized that something happened. I didn't try to force her to talk but I wanted to know so I went to the direction that she came from. When I reached the garden, I saw Dipper with Pacifica together on a bench.
"That must be it… She saw them…" It couldn't be anything else. She was so cheerful and in a few minutes, she became like she was earlier. I didn't want to interrupt them but I was worried about Mabel because it was almost night and she was alone. I just decided to wait before to talk to Dipper but I was close enough to hear them.
Dipper's POV
I didn't believe it but it was real. Pacifica just confessed to me and asked me if I wanted to date her. It took me by surprise so I didn't reply but she asked me again.
"So, what is your answer Dipper? Will you date me?"
"I don't know… I like you Pacifica but… I don't know if I can accept just like that. You're a nice girl and pretty but my feelings are kinda messed up right now." She was really a great girl and liked her but not really in a romantic way.
"Do you already love someone?"
"Not really… but…" She suddenly interrupted me.
"Someone you really care about and ready to do anything to help her? A person for whom you could sacrifice anything? Someone you really love?" She kept going with her questions and I kept thinking.
"Someone I really care about… A person for whom I could sacrifice anything… Someone I love…"
The more I was focusing the more this person was in my mind. Her cute face, her laugh, her lips on mines, the dream I made this morning. All at once was passing through my mind.
"The one I love is…"
"…Mabel." I told it with a low voice but just enough to let Pacifica heard it.
"So, you sister huh? She's the one you really love?" She sighed and made a little smile to me. I didn't know why but she looked satisfied by what I said as if she predicted it.
"But… she's my sister. I can't. It must be anything else. I can't fall in love with my own sister."
"Don't worry, I won't judge you. We saw worst in our life. Then the only person you could think of and who could be the answer at my questions was her no?" She was right but…
"Other persons could fit at your description, you know?" I tried to replied but she proposed me something.
"Okay then… I'll take one of your friends randomly like… this lumberjack girl?"
"Wendy? I used to have a crush on her but not anymore."
"And… your sister's friends?"
"Grenda and Candy? They're nice but they're just friends."
"And the big guy?"
"Soos? But what are you thinking?!"
"Ahahaha! Your face!"
"Be serious…" I didn't know if she was just missing but she kept going with her little game.
"Okay, a last one… Your sister?"
"I… I…" No words wanted to come out from my mouth but like earlier just some memories of Mabel came in my mind and at the same time my heart was just speeding up.
"Okay, time out, smart guy. I saw what I want and just proved yourself that I were right. You should look yourself, you're blushing like nothing else."
"But it's not…" She didn't let me finish my sentence and yelled.
"Oh, come on! Stop to find a reason to everything especially for love. Just think with your heart and not your brain for once. Yeah, you love your sister. Okay, it can be wrong for some people but who cares? I don't and if even I don't then you should just accept it and tell her."
I didn't know if she was angry but maybe she was right. I cleared my mind, reorganized it.
"You're finally accept it?"
"Yeah. I'll tell her no matter what it costs. Thanks to you, Pacifica."
"Don't worry, we're friends, remember?"
I could see some tears on her face. She helped me to realize that I loved Mabel but I couldn't answer her feelings toward me. I just put my hand on her face, wiped her tears and try to comfort her.
"I'm sorry… I know that my apologies won't help you but I really want to thank you for everything."
She just hugged me but unfortunately, I couldn't do anything as a friend because she loved me.
Comment from me :
Hey guys ! So I told you earlier something about the fact that I planned something in the Chapter 4 but it will may be in the next chapter or else this chapter could be too long compare to the others ^^'.
It was, too, the first chapter with another character's POV because I had to find something to link between Mabel and Dipper's one and I wanted to have the Wendy spy so I that's why I made it that way.
So I hope you liked it and unfortunately, I think that the Dipcifica moment is over ^^'. It wasn't even planned but it's also a ship I really like so when I saw the opportunity I put it in . :D
Then see ya in the next chapter ! :D
