Tale of two Half-Sisters ch. 6
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...
And so Emily went on to explain how after weirdmagedon- "Are either of you ever going to explain what that is?" "Later!" -was averted...their was still after affects...nothing as dramatic as Emily's timeline...just a slight tweak in the molecular composition in the universe, rendering all forms of power- except steam -useless or impractical to power the world...oh, and a seemingly endless amount of floating inter-dimensional whales began to appear in the skies...
"Yeah, it took a couple of years before that change in molecular composition kicked in, but Dad, Mcgucket, and Ford- "WHO?" "LATER!" -saw it coming, so Dad slowly began to switch Northwest industries toward Steam-punk.
They also learned that the whales could be harvested- "DIPPER! HOW COULD YOU!? WHALES ARE OUR FRIENDS!" "Mable, I haven't even done this yet!" -for a WAY more potent and useful energy source, and immediately got to producing whale oil before anyone else... so when all the other companies were floundering, my family ended up on top!...well, for awhile anyway."
"What happened?" Asked Mable enthralled.
"Well, although magic isn't saturating everything like in Tulip's world...their was SOME magic spillage. Plus, thanks to Dad exposing the supernatural to the world, their was still a lot of buzz...and soon secret societies began to crop up...
why, humanity sees the need to do that, I don't know, so don't ask...
anyway, they were mostly harmless charlatans that didn't know a wand from a spoon...their was one group...that was a problem; The Brigmore Witches...more importantly their leader Delilah Copperspoon.
Her powers as a witch were so great that she somehow nearly rewrote the fabric of reality to conform to her painting. Thankfully, Dad and Mom managed to pervert her final ritual and trap her in a painting-
"Go Dipifica!" Shouted Mable.
"Uh...okay, thanks...unfortunately, some of her followers survived the raid and spirited away the painting before my parents could do anything else with it...and then they beat up Ford- "let me guess, you'll explain who that is, later?" "Look, this takes priority!" -and stole his time-tape and get to this time-period.
I was the only one nearby when it happened, so I was the only one to grab Blendin's spare, Mom cast a spell to send me a download of her memories- don't ask me why she had that handy, mom could be weird sometimes- and use it before...before my home started to implode through paradoxes...
She began to tear up...Dipper put a hand on her shoulder to comfort on her...
"Wow, both futures have Dipper and everyone sounding badass!" Shouted Mable, the undertones of panic and despair going completely over her head...
Conveniently, enough that was when Wendy had finished with the 'process'.
Time Baby turned to them. "Their is no easy way to say this...but although impregnating both your mothers prevented a time-break...I was forced to delete both your time-lines...I'm sorry. If there'd been another way...but it was literally either that or allow time to shatter..."
Both Tulip and Emily broke down in sobs...their 'parents' were quick to comfort them.
Dipper looked up to the time-titan. "What of, Delilah and the Styx?"
Time-baby sighed, "Again, I must apologize...but in order to properly delete those time-lines I had to register ALL people who had come to the past as belonging to this time-period...which puts them out of our jurisdiction."
"So there's nothing you can do?" Asked Wendy in disbelief.
"We can arrest them if they time-travel again...but I can sense they've already smashed their time-machines to prevent us from finding them."
With that...he had them sent away...Wendy, Dipper and a still frazzled Pacifica helped Tulip and Emily toward Blendin as he takes them home.
"Well...best of luck guys." Said Blendin awkwardly. Then flustered as both future girls hugged him in thanks...
And with that...he was gone...it wouldn't be until that night that he realized they'd swiped BOTH of his spare Time-tapes...
...…...
TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
Love me, flame me, review me
