Reverse-arch-enemies

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"GAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"BLARGGGGGGGG!" Dipper turned and glanced at his sister who giggled and continued her strange screaming. He rolled his eyes, then resumed screaming.

"AHHHH," Except this time, his screams were stopped halfway through, when instead of floating through the air he hit something. Hard. "Ouch!" He complained pulling himself up into a sitting position while Mabel grumbled and rubbed her shoulder. Stupid Will, Dipper growled in his head. Note to self: dye all of Will's cloths pink.

"Muh…" She groaned to herself. "Where are some puffy stickers when you need them?" Dipper didn't pay attention to her, pulling himself to his feet to see what he had hit. It looked like they had fallen in any random place in the forest. At least he hoped they had. He never knew with portals. Come on Will, there was a reason they didn't like to use portals! They were evil! Even time travel was a worried area for them.

Considering how familiar the forest looked, he thought the portal hadn't worked. Okay, it had transported them outside, so he gave him credit for that, but that's about it. There was still the grass that looked like no one bothered to cut it. The trees all grew the same height and were the same kind that he remembered. Even the pair of squirrels that Mabel had tried to force to get married were trying to kill each other in the trees. Actually, were they trying to kill each other? He could never really tell. Maybe they were just trying to kill Mabel.

"Ugh, where are we? Isn't this just the forest out behind the shack?"

"I think so," Dipper answered, taking a few steps out into the forest to be safe. Nothing blew up. "Will must have got the wrong mirror or something."

"Ha!" Mabel fist bumped the air in triumph. "I win! I wonder what hat I should make Will wear. Ooh, I should make him wear one of your hats for the summer!"

Dipper raised an eyebrow at her questioningly. "My hat?" He reached up and touched the rim. "What's wrong with my hat?"

Mabel refused to meet his eyes. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong with your hat." She pursed her lips as he kept staring at her. "….Nothing…."

"Whatever. Let's just get back to the shack before Soos assumes that we fell into the bottomless pit and goes searching for us. Again." The last time that he had done that, Stan had made both of them wait next to it until he came back. In the middle of the night. Mabel nodded and jumped up gleefully as she went to follow her brother.

As the two of them headed on their way to the shack, Dipper noticed something pink in the bushes. "What the?" He reached down and picked it up. To their surprise it turned out to be a pink scrunchy. "Mabel, you didn't tell me that you lost a scrunchy in the forest." But when he turned to give it back to her, she raised her hands in defense.

"Uh-uh Dipper. That's not mine. I have all my hair pieces organized, named and accounted for." Reaching into the pocket on her skirt she pulled out a blue head band. "I always keep Edmond here in case of emergencies. Besides, I don't wear scrunches anymore! My headbands have taken over this head." Vaguely Dipper remembered his sister saying something like that. It was a different hair piece every summer.

"Huh. I didn't think anyone else hung out in these woods other than us." Checking the hair piece he noticed a few things. "Hey, it's pretty clean. It was probably dropped recently." Mabel came over to examine it, her footsteps overshadowing the shuffling of feet in the background.

"Then we should bring it back!" Dipper just laughed.

"What? Other than you, who would go searching for a hair piece in the middle of the forest?" Just as he said that, he heard the sound of feet shuffling. Close by.

"Sounds like someone does." Both of the twins yelped, and jumped behind a nearby tree. Breathing heavily they both glanced out nervously to try and find the source of the sound. it could have easily been a squirrel! Or a dear! Or a gnome. They could deal with gnomes. "What should we do?"

"I…we need to face it. Come on Mabel, on the count of three, we jump out and corner it." Mabel looked absolutely terrified, but with a courage that should have been impossible for a 12 year old to have (Seriously, these kids face dinosaurs and don't even get a nightmare? Come one!) Nodded and prepared to jump. "Okay, ready? One. Two."

"THREE!" They both yelled, jumping out in unison to find their attacker. The ones who stood on the other side of the tree recoiled and jumped away in shock. And once they saw them, so did they.

"Gideon?" Dipper asked. Mabel screamed and pointed to the second one.

"Ah! It's my arch enemy, Pacifica!" getting into what looked like a fighting position, she narrowed her eyes at her and hissed. "Don't worry. I have been training. Throw all the insults that you want at me Pacifica! I'm ready!" Pacifica starred at her. Then, instead of an insult, she just screamed.

"AHHHHH!"

Mabel paused. "Okay, I got nothing."

"Please don't hurt us," Pacifica screamed, falling on his back in fear. "We didn't mean to bother you! Honest!"

"Y-yeah! We were just wandering around, we promise not to tell anyone that you were here!" Gideon agreed, taking a few cautious steps back. The twins both turned to each other in complete confusion. Did they just hear what they think they heard?

"Wait, did you two just say you were scared of us?"

"C-course we are! I swear, we just want to get my scrunchy back! That's all." Mabel's mouth dropped open as Pacifica snatched the scrunchy out of Dipper's hands.

"You own something that is not made of diamonds?" This time Pacifica and Gideon looked at them like they were crazy.

"Uh, yeah!" She blew off the bits of dirt from it, brushed it off and then pulled her hair into a ponytail. Both Dipper and Mabel watched in awe. Pacifica raised her eyebrow at them in a mutual confusion. "Hey, what are you wearing?" Dipper blinked at them.

"Us? What are you wearing?" Pacifica's super expensive clothes were gone, as well as Gideon's baby blue suit. Instead, Pacifica wore a brightly coloured pink and turquoise jacket with a t-shirt that had a smile on the front, big funky earrings, no makeup, red and orange stripped tights under her blue shorts and big red rubber boots. Gideon had on some white cargo pants, an orange shirt and a blue vest that looked a lot like Dippers. It freaked him out a bit. Was he copying him?

Pacifica and Gideon both looked down at themselves, not seeing anything different. "We're wearing what we always wear! This is the same thing we always wear!" Gideon waved his hand at their cloths. "If anyone is weird it's you! What kind of a hat is that? A pine tree? A shooting star?"

"Shooting stars are nature's gifts to the world!" Mabel yelled at him as realization dawned on Dipper. "And my clothes are way better than yours! At least, the ones that you usually wear. Actually, you've got some pretty cool cloths today. I like the jacket," She pondered, pointing to Pacifica's jacket.

To their surprise, Pacifica actually thanked her. "Hey, thanks! I dyed it myself," She told her as she stretched out the edges. Gideon though quickly hushed her into silence.

"Pacifica, she's just making fun of you!" Pacifica covered her mouth in horror.

"What? No I wasn't! What are you even doing here, you should be in jail?" Gideon looked absolutely flabbergasted.

"Me? What did I do? You two are the ones who should be in jail by the way that you treat people!"

"No way! You tried to destroy us and throw us off a cliff!" But Gideon didn't show any recognition to her words. "What, do the words, 'giant robot,' not mean anything to you?"

Shaken and confused, he shook his head. "No. No, not really." Mabel made a face.

"Wait, way what now?" But Dipper interrupted her, turning her so that she could face him.

"Whoa Mabel, I think Will's plan really worked. I think we are in an alternate universe!"

"Whaaat? No way! Just from jumping through a mirror?" But Dipper looked very convinced. Gideon on the other side pondered his words quizzically.

"Hm. an alternate universe?" Thinking carefully, he reached into his vest, mumbling. "I think I read something like that in me,"

"Journal!" Dipper and him both said at the same time. They looked up, and were shocked to see that they were both carrying the same journals in their hands. The only difference was that Gideon's had only four fingers while Dippers still held his grunkle's brothers six fingered symbol. The two girls gasped when they saw it.

Pacifica pointed to Dipper's in shock. "Hey, you have the same number as Gideon's! B-but…I thought your journal was number 1 and 2?" that was all the confirmation that Dipper needed. The world that they were in wasn't the one that they knew.

Shaking his head he held the book up in proof. "Well that's not the one that we have. And you guys aren't supposed to have number three. At least," He reversed his attention to his sister. "The versions of you that WE know don't have that one." Mabel's face lit up in surprise when she finally understood what he was saying.

"Holy guacamole! We actually made it to another world!" At first it looked like she was going to be very excited and start doing a happy dance. But then as her thoughts trailed off she realized what it meant. "Aw, dang it! That means Will might win the bet!" she grumbled and stomped at the floor in frustration.

Gideon and Pacifica looked at each other. "Um…Would you care to explain what the heck is going on?"

"Allow me," Dipper began with authority in his voice. "See, we come from a different universe! Our friend made a bet that he could find a scary version of us, so he found this mirror that he called, 'the looking glass.' And if my assumptions are correct, when he pushed us through it he sent us to a world where all the people in this world are completely different! Which is why you aren't wearing your stupid blue suit and you actual have affordable clothes. And you should believe this because…um…" Dipper's voice started faltering. "Well we look probably nothing like what the other one looks like, and…um…we're acting weird?" He finished a question. The two across from them glanced at each other, absorbing his words. Quietly he whispered to Mabel, "Do you think they bought it?" Mabel shook her head.

"Yeah, I can buy that story."

"What? Really?" Dipper asked skeptically. Pacifica just shrugged carelessly.

"Trust me. We've seen WAY weirder things than this."

"And it's the only explanation for you to have such amazing style," Pacifica added, gesturing to Mabel's triangle earrings. Mabel blushed and posed so she could show off her earrings.

"Ooh, merci mon ami!" The two of them laughed. Once they had established that they weren't enemies the group all moved closer so they could talk to each other easier. Mable and Pacifica went on to complement each other's cloths and style while Gideon and Dipper examined the differences in each other.

"Wow, your hair is not gelled up. It looks…well, it's a lot shorter than I thought. And hey, you lost the accent!"

"Gosh, it's strange to hear you talking so normal. By the way, what does your book say? I wonder if it would apply to the same things in our world."

"Oh yeah man! If it does, maybe it will help me get even closer to the big secret in gravity falls!" Both of them beamed at each other. Never before did Dipper ever believe that he would be smiling at his arch enemy. If anyone had told him that, he would have laughed sarcastically, than called soos to get the broom and make them go away.

To the side though, the girls came up with a different plan. "It's like, SO awesome that we have the same cloths style! Wow, we should do something about this!" Mabel took a moment to think about it. Than her face beamed.

"Girl, you know what this means!" Mabel said gleefully. When Dipper heard that, his blood ran cold.

"No."

Pacifica grinned widely, getting just as pumped up as Mabel was. "I think I've got the same idea."

Gideon shivered a little. "Pacifica, no."

"Let's,"

"No,"

"Go,"

"NO,"

"SHOPPING!" The two new friends screamed in unison to the mall. Gideon face slapped himself while Dipper groaned. The two of them had only blinked, and the next thing they knew they were dragged into a mall. At least Will's magic seemed to still be working. All of the store's words were written in the right way. It would have been confusing if he had to call everyone by their backwards names. Labem? That would have been confusing.

Dipper wasn't as excited as his sister. "Mabel, are you serious? We come to a completely opposite world that we could explore, and you want to go shopping?" Both of the girls turned back to him with big grins on their faces.

"Heck yeah!" Pacifica boomed. Even her style of speaking was different, Dipper noted. "When you've got a friend with such obvious style, what else are you supposed to do?"

"Other than compare the mysteries that could possible save or destroy the world you mean?" Gideon grumbled, uncomfortable with all of the people around them. Pacific decided not to pay any attention to him.

"Come on, let's go to my favourite store! It's called Cold Subject!" Mabel grinned as she led the group over to the room. As they walked, Dipper decided to take the chance to ask some of his own questions.

"Hey, so, what is gravity falls like? Is it still a small town with a lot of mysteries?" Gideon gave Dipper a surprised look.

"That's what your world is like? How interesting. Well, we do have a lot of mysteries, but this is not a small town! Just look around at the mall!" Dipper hadn't paid attention to it before, but once he got the chance, he realized that it was huge! The falls had a new layer of white paint, with a fancy carpet and really cool stores.

"Huh. That's pretty cool." He saw that one of the stores was selling nothing but plastic straws. "Weird, but cool."

"Blarg. That's boring stuff. But I want to the most important part!" Dipper frowned, trying to figure out what his sister was talking about. Than it occurred to him what she was saying.

"The other us!"

"Is Waddles a puppy in this world!" Mabel yelled at the same time. "Oh, actually, that's pretty cool to, let's go with that one."

"Um," Pacifica hesitated, "I ah, don't know if you really want to know." Dipper's eyes narrowed, remembering how afraid they had been when they had first seen them. They shouted things like, don't hurt me, and acted like they were going to kill them. That wasn't encouraging. Especially since the reason Will had sent them to that world was because he was trying to find a scary version of them.

"So, what are they like?" Pacifica and Gideon glanced at each other nervously. But Mabel, luckily for them, just laughed it off.

"Aw come on Dipper, who cares? They are probably creeps, considering how awesome we are!" She laughed, posing like a bird in the middle of the hallway. Dipper thought that that was debatable. But now distracted, Mabel changed course. "Pacifica, these guys are a bore. I'll race you to the store with the twinkliest lights!" The Pacifica that they knew would have called her a weirdo with stupid hair. But that pacifica grinned just as excited.

The two of them, without any warning, burst from their spots and started running through the store, competing for the best light up one. "Mabel, wait!" Dipper called to his sister, and he and Gideon ran to try and catch up to them.

Just as they left the entrance, a big black limousine came to the front doors. The window opened, and two pairs of glowing blue eyes shone through them. The boy in the limo slammed his book shut, while the girl grinned to show her braces off to the world. Lazily the boy turned back to the girl.

"We are here. If you get lost, I'm not coming after you." The girl laughed, stepping out as the chauffer opened the door for her.

"Do not worry brother. You'll be able to find me easily. Just follow the sound of people screaming," She suggested, walking away and into the story. The boy slipped out of the vehicle and rolled his eyes.

"Just like last time."

Ugh. I don't like how this chapter turned out. Oh well. I hope you guys liked it! thanks for reading!
