Fallen Pine Trees
Chapter 3: Truth be Told "Reactions"
In their confrontation with the Societ of the Blind Eye, Dipper revealed to his friends, (including his sister), that he'd been secretly dating her arch enemy, Pacifica Northwest. On their way back to the Mystery Shack, (with a stop at Yumberjacks for a bight to eat), Dipper began to tell Mabel, Soos, and Wendy how he and Pacifica got together. Now we find the preteen finishing this story, and awaiting the reactions of not only Mabel's, (who'd felt betrayed upon first hearing of this secret), but also Soos's and Wendy's, (who were only shocked at the discovery).
"So after our kiss, Pacifica and I agreed to date in secret till we could figure out a way to get you "Mabel", and her parents to accept our relationship," explained Dipper. "Or at least not tear it, (and us) to pieces. Now I know you guys are probably not happy about me keeping this from you, but I hope you may at least be able to consider forgiving me since I did find love out of this, and I wasn't' trying to hurt any of you."
After a minute of silence, Wendy was the first one to speak, "ah, I've had to keep all my past relationships a secret from my family till I could determine whether or not it was going to be serious, "which in Wendy's case, were all of them were since she broke up with each of her boyfriends after dating them for only a few weeks". So I'll forgive you since I understand what you're going through. But I'm not happy that you chose to date your sister's arch enemy. That was totally not cool.'
'I understand," replied Dipper.
"Yeah, I'm with Wendy dude," Soos added in. "Dating you sister's arch enemy, especially after all the things she's said to us isn't' cool. But if she has a soft spot that makes you happy, then I say go for it, dude.'
'Thanks, Soos," thanked Dipper, as he turned his head towards his sister, (who hadn't said a word since ordering her meal at Yumberjacks). "And what about you Mabel?"
Even after hearing her twin's explanation, Mabel still felt completely betrayed, after hearing a particular part of the story. "She called me immature, you didn't defend me, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST BE HAPPY FOR YOU?!'
'No I said I hoped you would forgive me," Dipper corrected.
"Basically the same thing," Mabel said. "My point is that I don't approve of this relationship. It's not what I see as true love in my head.'
'That's not a surprise," said Dipper. "If you're not on the planning committee then you don't like it one bit."
That last comment made Mabel furious. "What's that supposed to mean?'
'It means that throughout my life, you've tried to plan out every detail of my love life.'
'No I haven't," defended Mabel.
"Seriously? In third grade, you planned out an entire wedding for me and some girl named Addison, (who I had a crush on at the time). The results were not only my complete humiliation in front of the entire class, but Addison moved to Australia. She even wrote a letter to me saying that the reason for her moving was because of the wedding. When we were ten, you thought I needed a new girlfriend so you posted a banner outside the ice cream shop advertising me as the perfect boyfriend. Once again, I got humiliated and was banned from the shop since they thought I'd put it there. And those were just two, out of a long list of times you've intervened with my life in relation to finding love for me when I never asked for your help. My point being is that you always wanted to plan out my future love life, and since you can't, you act like a whiny baby who's not getting what she wants.'
'WHAT!?" Mabel screamed, (tears coming from her eyes).
"Ouch," said Wendy. "That might've been a little too far Dipper.'
'Yeah, dude. That was a bit over the edge," agreed Soos.
"Look I," Dipper attempted to say but was cut off by Mabel.
"Figures you'd say that. What with you dating Mrs. Demon and all.'
'DON'T CALL HER A DEMON," Dipper shouted back. "She's not the reason why I'm saying this. It's the truth. And I should've said this a long ago, and saved myself from all the humiliation you put me through in the past.'
'You're one to talk. Mr. Paranoid" combated Mabel.
Neither Soos nor Wendy could believe what was happening: Dipper and Mabel had always been so close. True they'd had a few fights in the past, but those were just minor things that didn't last long. Now, however, they were screaming at each other, calling one another names, and what was being said hinted that this fight wasn't going to end anytime soon.
"If you like her so much, then why don't you just go hang out with her," said Mabel. "See if she'll enjoy your spooky activities.'
'Maybe I will," said Dipper. "I need to tell her about how you guys know about our relationship anyway.'
'Uh Dipper," Soos cut in. At this time Soos's truck had reached the Mystery Shack, where he noticed something unexpected outside said location. Something he knew he had to warn Dipper about.
"Yeah, Soos?" Responded to Dipper. Not paying attention to what was going on outside the truck.
"Uh, you may want to take a look outside Dipper," said Wendy in an awkward, (sort of), sounding voice; having also taken notice of the "surprise" outside.
"Okay," Dipper said in response. Not understanding what was going on with his friends. Though once he looked out the window on his left, he then understood.
A huge, black, Limousin was parked right beside the Mystery Shack, (one that Dipper was quite familiar with). Standing on the Shack's porch stood Preston and Priscilla Northwest, Pacifica's parents, "who did not look happy when they noticed Dipper inside the truck", along with Pacifica, and Stanford Pines.
Figuring out what was going on, Dipper got out of the truck and began to walk towards his girlfriend, and her parents. But before Dipper could reach the porch, Preston spoke in an "obviously" fake happy tone. "Why if it isn't Mason "Dipper" Pines. Also known as my daughter's boyfriend."
