One of the chapters I've been waiting to write. So I hope you guys enjoy it.
This is a year after the last chapter.
Dipper & Mabel age 22
Steven age 9
{Old Wounds}
Dipper and Mabel drove along the road seeing a sign 'Welcome to Beach City' with a little seagull underneath that was smiling.
"Funny little seagull huh Dipper." Mabel said with a smile.
Dipper smiled at his sister even at age 22 his sister was still childish a ever. They both had learned a lot under their uncle Ford. Dipper was happy that he had gotten to learn so much about the weird stuff in the world.
His sister had been happy to avoid high school after what Wendy had told her. They both were here with lots of equipment to stop Bill's new plan. Whatever that happened to be.
They didn't know much about what had happened to Bill besides the fact he had reincarnated. They would have to find out who Bill was now. Dipper didn't think he'd still be a triangle. He wouldn't blend in very well.
There was also the new aliens to study and find out more information about them. Dipper looked at the small town as they drove around.
"Dip you're being the creepy quiet guy again." Mabel said with a small frown.
"Sorry Mabel. I'm just lost in thought. This whole Bill thing.." Dipper said with a frown.
"I know Dip." Mabel said looking at him.
"We couldn't even beat him last time. We almost lost Grunkle Stan." Dipper said with sorrow.
"Dip, I know but this time we know where he is. We can find him. Ford gave us stuff to trap him. We got this bro-bro." Mabel said with a slight smile putting her hand up for a high five.
"Yeah we got this." Dipper said with a smile as he gave his sister a high five.
"Oh awesome car wash! We gotta go there sometime car washes are awesome." Mabel said as they passed a car wash called 'It's A Wash.'
Dipper laughed as he drove them to their temporary apartment.
"How about we go there tomorrow my car could use a wash." Dipper said with a grin his sister was insane, well he couldn't say he didn't enjoy it.
Steven played his ukulele as he sat in his father's car wash 'It's A Wash'.
"You're doing really well with that bud. Want me to teach you the next set of chords?" Greg asked Steven.
"Yeah Dad." Steven smiled showing a missing tooth.
Greg smiled grabbing his guitar from the ground, but stopped a dark blue car with a pine tree emblem on the front pulled up to his car wash.
He frowned at Steven who glared at it before looking back at his ukulele practicing the song he was going to play for the Gems. He'd ignore his anger at the pine tree. He could control himself and his powers.
Steven smiled as he was getting the notes right ignoring the car and the people his dad was helping with their car.
"Hello there." A older female voice said.
"Steven turned around and stared at a young woman with long brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a red sweater with a shooting star. Steven's heart beat increased his eyes replaced the older woman with a kid older then him with braces and the same sweater.
"Hi." Steven said pushing the image and anger away.
"My name's Mabel Pines, I love your shirt." The woman said pointing at his shirt.
Steven wanted to get away now this girl was from his nightmares. He had them for a long time. He was never a nice person in these dreams. One of the kids in his dream was a Mabel Pines, though his nightmare self usually called her Shooting Star.
Steven closed his eyes as he felt his other powers come out as he became afraid. He played a few chords on his ukulele. He opened his eyes as he got them under control.
"I'm Steven, Steven Universe." Steven said with a smile showing his missing tooth.
His Dad had been happy he lost his first tooth, Pearl had freaked out a lot when she saw it.
"Awesome name. You got a nice ukulele." Mabel said looking at it.
"My Dad gave it to me. He's been teaching me how to use it." Steven said happy to take his mind off the girl of his nightmares.
"Oh I play the flute myself, my brother plays the trumpet. Stay here I'm go grab him. He watching his car get washed." Mabel said walking away.
Steven was not looking forward to this at all it was making his other powers, called his yellow powers by Amethyst, go crazy he could barely keep his eyes from going 'cat-eyed'.
Mabel returned with a tall brown haired male with a blue jacket over a white shirt, he was wearing an old weathered hat with a pine tree on it.
Steven smiled a little slow at the new arrival.
"Steven this is my bro-bro Dipper, bro-bro this is Steven." Mabel said with a smile.
"You work here?" Dipper asked looking at him.
"This is my Dad's car wash. I love coming here." Steven said with a huge grin glad to have the distraction.
Then he had an even better one who was walking over to them.
"Amethyst!" Steven said running over to her.
"Hey dude who's your friends?" Amethyst asked him frowning a bit at how he was hiding slightly behind her.
Dipper's mouth was wide open staring at Amethyst. Mabel had stars in her eyes at her as well.
"Your um.. purple." Mabel said looking at her.
"Yeah.." Amethyst looked weirded out.
"Why are you here? What does your kin.. ouf.."Dipper asked before his sister elbowed him in the gut.
"Umm okay I'm gunna take Steven home now." Amethyst said turning around Steven following her.
"your human friends are nuts." Dipper heard her say before they were to far away.
Dipper glared at Mabel as the alien walked away with the kid they were talking to.
"MABEL that was an alien, one of the aliens! Why'd you do that?" Dipper asked rubbing his side.
"Dipper you go straight into investigation mode. You remember what Ford said they on our side. That and you were making her uncomfortable." Mabel said with a glare.
Dipper sighed rubbing his side Greg came back over.
"Ah you guys met Amethyst." Greg said looking at the distant pair.
"What is she?" Dipper muttered dodging another elbow from his sister.
"Oh you guys are new in town huh? Amethyst is one of the Crystal Gems. There are also two others Garnet and Pearl." Greg said with a slight smile.
"We thought there was four." Mabel said with a slight frown.
Dipper saw that Greg had frowned and looked sad.
"Rose.. She was umm my wife. She's ... no longer with us." Greg said with a sad look on his face.
Dipper looked fascinated Mabel started to drag him to the car before he could ask all kinds of hurtful questions.
"So sorry for bringing it up. We'll be going now, we might bring our car back some time." Mabel said before dragging her brother to car.
Dipper looked a bit disappointed but allowed his sister to drag him to the car. He was looking forward to finding out more about these Crystal Gems.
Amethyst hugged Steven as they got inside he was shaking in fear. Garnet appeared in the door taking him into her arms as he started to cry.
"I don't know what's wrong just that the people at Greg's place upset him for some reason." Amethyst said with a frown.
"It's time. Their here." Garnet said with her normal expression.
Amethyst frowned and walked into the house.
"I'll get Pearl." Amethyst said frowning at the door.
"We'll protect him. It's okay Steven." Garnet said rubbing Steven's back.
Amethyst nodded going into the Temple.
There we go it was fun to write.
