I sat on my bed playing on my computer humming the Doctor Who theme song, I can't wait to see the new episode that airs today, it's gonna be extra special because it's a Christmas Special! Oh right, I didn't tell you, today is Christmas!
Yeah yeah, I know, awesome! And yes, I am in Gravity Falls. Ya see when summer ended and Dipper and Mabel went home I went back to traveling, (I have a private tutor so no school for me!) but here I am, back for Christmas, because, again, I missed my family, and you can't not spend Christmas with your family. Whenever I was traveling for a year my family just planned to visit me where I was, I can't remember where though…
I'd just spent Christmas morning with my family, opening presents, spreading cheer. I had come up to my room to one, to check out all the loot I got. And two, to get Jack's present. We were going to give each other our presents, then send Dipper and Mabel their's because we couldn't teleport into their house (their parents didn't know what we were, and didn't believe in all that magic stuff) and it would be a while before we could see them in person to give them their presents.
I crouched down to get my present which was under my bed, and just as I pulled it out I felt someone tap my shoulder, "Lill—"
I jumped up and stood, I then saw the face of my cousin himself, who apparently had teleported into my room. I frowned, "Oh no! If you think you can come in and spy on what present I got you you got another thing coming!" I said. Jack shook his head.
"No Lill-"
"Don't you 'no Lill' me—"
"Lill."
"I know what you were trying to do—"
"Lill!"
"Don't you even try to defend yourself 'cause you've tried the same thing on your birthday—"
"LILL!"
"WHAT?!"
Jack glared at me and I did the same, we just both stayed like that until Jack was sure I wouldn't interrupt and he started to speak, "Dipper and Mabel, are coming here for Christmas."
"WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" I demanded. Jack scowled. "Never mind, don't answer that question, let's just go." I ran downstairs.
"Hey mom I'm gonna go give Jack his present!" I said.
"Ok honey just be back in time for dinner!" my mom replied. I grinned and ran back into my room where Jack was waiting. I grabbed his present, then Dipper and Mabel's and we both teleported out of my room and outside.
"C'mon dear cousin!" I said, grinning. "Let's go reunite you with your girlfriend!"
We started to walk to the bus stop where Jack told me the twins would be arriving in shortly. "So, how did you find out that Dipper and Mabel are coming here?" I asked.
"Well," Jack answered. "Mabel called me rambling on and on about buses and Christmas until I was finally able to figure out that her and Dipper where coming here for Christmas on a bus!"
I tilted my head, "What if you're wrong?" I asked smirking slightly. Jack held his head high.
"I am never wrong," he said. I raised an eyebrow. "I am rarely wrong!" he said. I smiled and he smiled back, man, we were one weird family, but family none the less. Oh god, now I was getting all sentimental! Dang you Christmas! I grinned at a man as we walked.
"Merry Christmas!" I said cheerfully.
"I'm Jewish," the man said coldly not turning to acknowledge me. He walked away. I scowled as Jack snickered.
"Well I'm part dream demon buddy," I grumbled so low that only Jack could hear. He laughed and I playfully punched him in the arm. Finally we reached the bus stop and sat on a bench.
I frowned noticing his absence of presents, "Hey Jack where's your presents?" I asked. Jack shot up.
"Oh shoot!" he disappeared and reappeared a minute later holding his gifts to others.
After a little while the bus arrived, I had been trying to get Jack to tell me what he had got me, and he had been trying to get me to tell him what I got him. "C'mon, just one more hint—JACK THE BUS IS HERE!" I exclaimed.
Me and my cousin shot up, and the bus was indeed stopping right in front of us, its' door opened. Few people came off but finally we saw Dipper and Mabel, Mabel was singing a song that seemed to be annoying the crap out of Dipper.
"Dipper the red nosed monster hunter!
Had a very weird birthmark!
And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows!" Mabel sang, she actually had a very good singing voice, just a bit pitchy.
"MABEL!" Dipper groaned his face red.
"All of the other monster hunters!
Used to laugh and call him names!
They never let poor Dipper, join in any hunter games!" Mabel sang completely oblivious of the fact that me and Jack were standing only a little bit away. Jack stifled a laugh.
"MABEL LISTEN—"
"Then one foggy Christmas Eve! Stanta came to say!
Dipper with your birthmark so bright, won't you be my attraction tonight?" Mabel continued. Dipper shook her.
"MABEL! LILL AND JACK ARE STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!" he said. Mabel stopped and looked, I smiled and waved and so did Jack.
"JACK!" Mabel cried and tackled her boyfriend with a hug. I giggled and Jack struggled to breathe, and hug her back at the same time.
"Hey, Mabel….good to see you too….can't….BREATHE!" Jack managed. Mabel quickly let go. Jack got up, brushed himself off, and hugged her as hard as her could. Mabel laughed, and then started to gasp for breath.
Jack let go and both shuffled awkwardly for a second. Dipper and I laughed at how cute the two were, Mabel then tackled me in a hug, I tried to hug back but she caught me off guard, and she was STRONG!
I laughed once we were all done with the hugging, "You guys are back," I pointed out.
"Yes, yes we are," Dipper said. I smirked, Dipper liked Disney and especially the cartoons on it, of course, I did too, we all did, even though some people said we were 'too old' for it. What I said was that was complete nonsense!
Anyways, we started to help them with their bags and walked to the Shack, I breathed in the air, I liked the smell of December, to me it was uh, burned out fire, with a hint of ice, and cold, yes cold had a smell, like mint without the flavor.
I love Winter, and Fall, they're my favorite seasons, of course I like Summer (Summer break!) and Spring too but Summer is all hot and sweaty and I often got sunburns, Winter is cold, and sometimes warm when I'm by a fire.
We reached the Shack, Stan was having Soos work there because apparently, 'The holidays bring in a LOT of money' and he can't miss that, I think it was because he was lonely. Mabel pushed open the door and burst in, "STAN ME AND DIPPER ARE STAYING FOR CHRISTMAS!" she cried.
"WHAT?!" We heard Stan scream from the den, he came running out, he looked down at Mabel and Dipper, he then ran out into the Gift Shop, "SOOS GO HOME!" We heard him scream. Then he shooed everyone out of the store, grabbed the tree in the Gift Shop, and brought it into the den.
He panted, then went and brought out two nicely wrapped presents and set them under the tree, "Merry Christmas," he panted. We just stared.
"Geez Stan I never thought you'd close the Shack on the holiday that brings in the most money!" Dipper marveled. Stan snorted and rolled his eyes.
"It wasn't because of YOU!" he said, though it obviously was. "I uh…have a cold…" he started to fake cough. "Uh yeah, yeah that works…"
He walked away grumbling something about kids and respect. Mabel grinned, "He loves us," she said. We laughed and then I frowned.
"Where's Faye?" I asked. Dipper frowned.
"I dunno, go get her!"
I sighed, "Ok I'll go to her parents house, you were a big help," I said rolling my eyes. I disappeared and reappeared a few minutes later holding Faye who held her presents. "Let's get our HOLIDAY ON!" Faye said grinning.
And then the festivities began, after a few minutes of hugging and all that fluff we opened presents. Mabel's from Jack was a crudely knitted sweater, it was pink (which was Mabel's favorite color) saying, "You're the best thing ever to happen to me!"
Mabel grinned at Jack, "Jack I…" she trailed off just grinning like a dope at Jack who blushed intensely and looked down at the floor.
"Yeah I remembered when you tried teaching us how to knit and…I remembered how and…made you that…" he shuffled nervously until Mabel tackled him with another hug.
"OHMIGOSH JACK THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER I LOVE IT SO MUCH!" she cried.
"Y-You do?"
"YES! YES YES YES YES!"
Mabel immediately took off her sweater which was covered in Christmas lights and slipped Jack's on, she grinned at Jack blushing. The two just grinned at each other for a moment before Mabel handed Jack his.
He ripped it open and pulled out a tie made of yarn, "TA DA!" Mabel beamed. Jack grinned.
"Mabel this is awesome!" he beamed and hugged her. Mabel grinned. They looked really cute in their whole, yarn get-up.
Mabel then gave me my present, "OPEN IT LILL!" she said. Hu, now that I think about it, when has any of my friends actually used my whole name? 'S been a while…I tore open my present to see a silver and blue sweater, on the middle was a black bow tie and in glitter along the bottom was some random letters.
I immediately knew this was a code me and Mabel had learned a while ago. Ya see it was a letter, but instead of the real one you put the letter that was three letters back behind the real one in the alphabet.
That's the best I can explain it, "When decoded it says 'Half-Demons rule!'" Mabel beamed. I grinned and unzipped my jacket and slipped on the sweater instead. Still loosely fitting like all of Mabel's sweaters were but warm and comfortable.
Besides pretty much all of my cloths are slightly ill fitting, well my jackets and all.
I smiled at Mabel, "This is great!" I said cheerfully. I then handed Mabel her present. She tore into it so fast I didn't even have time to blink before she was holding up a pink, glittery, kawaii doll that literally almost made my eyes bleed when I found it.
"OHMIGOSH LILL HOW DID YOU FIND THIS?! IT'S SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE!" Mabel asked jumping up and down. I smiled and shielded my eyes from the dolls' extreme pink and glittery-ness.
"Well, I knew you really wanted it so I did some extreme online internet shopping and made some calls and finally got the last one in America!" I beamed spreading my arms. Mabel grinned and jumped up and down.
She started to play with the doll until Dipper handed Mabel her present from him and so did Faye. "Hurry up we don't have all day!" Faye said. Mabel tore into Dippers' first.
It was a pink picture frame decorated in glitter with a cut out picture of Mabel pointing at herself saying, "#1 Sister!" Mabel hugged him.
"DIPPER THIS IS AWESO—"
"OPEN FAYE'S NOW I FEEL LIKE WE ALL HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOU!" I ordered. Mabel tore into Faye's and found a statue of a guy with his hand over his chest in a Roman toga, there was a button on the bottom and when she pushed it, the statue started to blare the voices of men chanting, "Toga…toga…toga! Toga! Toga! Toga! TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!"
"Just seemed like something you would like," Faye explained shrugging. Mabel did like it.
"This is so cool!" she said. It was funny the first few times she played it over and over. Then we all just wanted to break it…
Then I was handed mine, from Jack I got a mug that said #1 Cousin, when I stared at him like, Really? he said, "There's a button on the bottom, push it." Indeed there was one and when I did push it the mug lit up in all different kinds of colors and started to blare music until I quickly turned it off and said.
"Ya know what, a regular mug is fine…"
From Dipper I got a picture frame with a picture that was at least two years old. It was of me Dipper and Mabel smiling at the camera, Mabel was giving me bunny ears and I was laughing, Dipper was shielding his eyes because of the flash but grinning none the less. I remember this, it was when we first met, me and Mabel had just become friends and after them admitting about the journal after a LOT of investigation we went on a monster hunt.
Yeah, that was fun, and life threatening…
I grinned at Dipper, "Hey I remember this!" I exclaimed. Dipper smiled.
"Yeah well, couldn't think of much so I decided to get you that," he said a bit sheepishly. I smiled.
"Well it's awesome!" I said.
And from Faye I got a bunch of books. I grinned at them, "Wow Faye these looks cool! Thanks!" I said. Faye shrugged.
"They just seemed like the stuff you'd like," she beamed. Then we gave Jack our presents. I gave him a book he had been excited about, a book called Alone, it was about this girl named Anna who lost her brother then her favorite beloved pet, and she goes through a story about her changing and trying to get over it. It's pretty good from what I've heard.
From Dipper he got two books, Fall and The Ten, they were really interesting, I've read 'em.
I got him a tie that looked like a fish, heh heh…fish tie…
And Faye got him a book called Jump into My Racing Car, which was really good and cute, I also read that.
Yeah pretty much all Jack asked for were books, and ties. Go figure.
Faye grinned, "Ok. Where are my presents?" she asked. Dipper handed her a present and she opened it, inside were headphones.
"Cool! Just what I wanted!" Faye beamed. I smiled.
"Me, Jack, and Mabel have a group present for you, we'll give it to you later when it's ready!" I said. We came up with the perfect present for Faye, I've seen the way she looks at Dipper (being around Jack and Mabel helped) and we devised the perfect plan to get her a kiss from her crush!
Then we just had to set it up…
"Dipper, I need you to do something for me, meet me by the doorway in about three minutes," I said to Dipper. He narrowed his eyes.
"Uh…ok," he walked away. As he did Mabel planted one of those stick on bow things when he wasn't looking, Jack passed Dipper slapping a to and from sticker with the words: To: Faye, From: Jack, Lill, and Mabel.
Dipper just seemed to think Jack slapped him or something, he gave the boy a weird look and continued to walk. Jack and Mabel walked up to me, "Do ya really think this is gonna work?" Jack whispered.
I grinned, "Of course, we came up with it!" I said pointing at me, Jack, and Mabel.
"Yeah! We're supper smartsy!" Mabel beamed. Jack nodded.
"Yeah, you're right, ok Lill, go set up the mistletoe!" he told me. I pulled out some mistletoe I had stuffed in my pocket and ran to the doorway. I passed Faye.
"Faye meet me at the doorway in a minute!" I said. Faye gave me a puzzled look but shrugged and said:
"Ok."
I grinned and reached the doorway, where I flew up, and attached the mistletoe. I then ran away. Me, Mabel, and Jack met up again hidden and watched Dipper and Faye walk up to the doorway, under the mistletoe.
Faye noticed Dipper's weird attire and looked up, she caught sight of the mistletoe and her face grew red. Dipper looked up and gasped, "Oh! Mistletoe." he exclaimed. Faye nodded.
"Y-Yeah…" she muttered. Dipper sighed.
"Well, if you're just gonna stand there…" he leaned in and kissed the girl. Her eyes widened. But she kissed back, after a few seconds they broke apart and Dipper's face was red, but not of the I-have-a-crush-on-you blush, but the, oh-gosh-that-was-embarrassing redness.
"So…how was your Christmas?" he asked trying to change the subject.
"I got exactly what I wanted…"
Mabel and Jack started to walk out the door, Mabel suddenly stopped when they reached the doorway, "Jack, we forgot to take down the mistletoe," she said grinning slightly. Jack looked up.
"It appears we did," he said smiling as well.
"Well, what a situation we're in."
"Indeed."
That last part wasn't Lillian's POV, just so ya know. And the Faye and Dipper thing WAS NOT A SHIP! Ok? It was just a request from GravityFallsChick. Also I did not misspell Santa, I combined Stan and Santa. And guys, consider this my late Christmas present, even though it's technically an early present. Oh and HAPPY FREAKIN' NEW YEAR! Next chapter, the epilogue, man, this sure was fun to write. See ya next time, until then.
Review please!
