In the last Chapter, Dipper was kidnapped by his own sister Mabel! But this is not the Mabel we all know and love, something is going on with her. Something sinister. What exactly is going on? Where was Dipper taken? What kind of sticky situation is Dipper in now?
Dipper started to awaken. He had been unconscious and asleep for an unknown amount of time. His eyes slowly opened, but it remained dark whether his eyes be opened or closed. He was stuck against a wall and some really sticky stuff.
"Oooh... what happened." Dipper said. "Wait... where am I exactly?" There was not a whole lot was going on for a while. For the next 20 minutes or so, all that happened was that Dipper's eyes slowly adjusted to the near pitch black environment, making things somewhat visible. Dipper started to see his surroundings. The room was some kind of large underground dirt filled hole. Mabel stood in the middle of the room, motionless, and entangled in a bunch of tree roots.
"Psssh, Mabel." Dipper whispered out as to try to get Mabel's attention, but she didn't budge.
"Mabel. Mabel. Mabel! MABEEEl!" Dipper shouted. The moment he shouted, Mabel's eyes lit up a bright, solid, and eerie blue glow, with no pupils. The intense glow completely blinded Dipper.
"Aaaahh, you're awake now, excellent." a high pitched girl's voice called out. A voice that did not sound like Mabel's. Mabel's neck turned and cracked in unnatural positions as she spoke.
"Who are you?" Dipper called out. "Let us go!"
After Dipper shouted, Mabel began to budge. Her body was being grasped by a giant tree root that moved like a giant tentacle. The big arm lifted her and maneuvered Mabel's body, as if she were a puppet. The arm positioned Mabel close in front of Dipper who was against the wall.
"You really shouldn't fight it any longer. If you just give up and do as I say it can all be over." said the mysterious voice, whose voice was coming from Mabel's lips.
"Shame you had to make things difficult." possessed Mabel voice said. "You could have kissed me at the fair and have avoided all of this."
"My answer was 'no' then, and just cause you plastered me to a wall using icky substances, this isn't going to change my mind!" Dipper exclaimed. "Now tell me who you are and what you've done with Mabel!" Dipper demanded.
"Are you sure you want to know? You sure you want me to ruin the suspense? The mystery? The excitement of not knowing? Really want me to spoil the answer?
"I want answers now!" Dipper demanded.
"Well... if you insist, I suppose it is the generous thing to do. After all, you are the guest of honor." possessed Mabel said.
"Oh ho, am I now?" Dipper asked flattered. Though not really there was nothing flattering about the situation.
"Mmm, hmm, yes you are, and since you are my victim and my plan is to have sex with you and maybe kill you afterwards, I suppose it's only courteous to explain myself before you possibly die." the voice explained.
"Wait you want to do what?!" exclaimed Dipper. "I thought you just wanted a kiss."
"See that was the original plan, but I went through all this trouble kidnapping you, and plastering you to the wall with tree sap. It only seemed to make sense to go all out. Or, all in more accurately *giggle*." said the voice.
"Well you can forget about that too!" yelled Dipper. "Now explain yourself!"
"As you desire." said the voice. "First thing's first, in case you couldn't tell, I'm not actually your sister."
"No. Really? What gave it away?" Dipper said sarcastically.
"Do you want answers? Or do you want to keep acting like a jackass?" the voice asked.
"Never mind, never mind, go on." said Dipper.
"So anyway, like I said earlier, I am not a shapeshifter. This is actually your sister's body" the voice said. "I am a ghost! I am the spirit of a little twelve year old girl. A girl less fortunate than either you or your sister. I was murdered at the young age of twelve! My body is gone, but my soul remains restless, so I thought I'd inhabit Mabel's body and experience life in a way I was never able to!"
"Well..." said Dipper. "I'm very sorry to hear that. But that's no excuse for being a jerk to me and my sister!"
"When I was human like you two, they called me 'Felicity', because that's the name I was given. And unlike a Mr. Grumpy Pants who's ashamed of his own birth name, I accepted it and didn't complain."
Dipper grunted slightly as he felt that the comment about names was directed at him.
"So you're Felicity inside of Mabel's body... hmm" Dipper pondered. "So then I guess that makes you 'Fabel'?"
"Huh... I suppose it does. I would have preferred Melicity, but you are the guest of honor after all." said Felicity. "Call me Fabel, or just call me Felicity to keep things simple.
Anyway, my name was the least of my concerns. Our family lived in poverty, and in constant stress and angst. That was then, but now I am dead. I was only twelve when it happened. Can you imagine losing your life at the age of twelve? Before you even had a chance to live a long and meaningful life?"
Dipper thought for a second. He and Mabel were also twelve, and the thought of losing their lives right here and right now, and just before high school did not sit easy with him.
"Any other questions?" asked Felicity.
"Yeah so I was wondering... what's with the whole tree motif going on?" asked Dipper.
"What do you mean? Please clarify." Felicity requested.
"I mean, plastering me with tree sap, you seem to be able to manipulate tree roots and branches with your mind, tell me about it. Why trees?" asked Dipper.
"It just so happens that part of my ghostly powers since arriving in Gravity Falls includes manipulating trees by my own will. I an make them do whatever I want." Felicity explained.
"Huh... neat." said Dipper.
"Trees are fantastic organisms. They are as alive as humans, they don't commit crimes, they don't murder, they don't destroy the envionment, they don't discrimate, they just grow, consume, and contribute to the planet. Why can't humans learn from trees instead of exterminating them? Tis a shame really." Felicty rambled.
"Yeah I suppose that is a shame and all." said Dipper.
"So that's that." Felicity said. "Any more questions or are you ready?
"I got one more question for you! Why did you choose Mabel? And why are you making her do all this to me?" Dipper asked. "What do you have against our family?"
"That's more than one question, want me to answer all or just one?" Felicity pointed out.
"Answer them all!" Dipper demanded.
"Not that it matters, I have one answer that satisfies all your questions." Felicity said. "And that answer is 'No reason in particular' for me kidnapping Mabel. I just met you two, I have no prior tension with you Pines. You two were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Mabel is just the first in a long line of young tween girls I have inhabited." she explained. "But your sister Mabel stood out to me the moment I went inside her body! I've been inside girls who may look pretty on the outside, but inside they are as rotten as a dead tree stump. Your sister... was the complete opposite however. You know what stood out the most the moment I entered your sister Dipper? Felicity asked.
Dipper gave the question some serious thought. Mabel was special and he knew a lot about her, but guessing which of Mabel's qualities stood out to Felicity felt like a shot in the dark. "No, I don't." Dipper answered. "What?"he asked.
"Her heart." Felicity answered. "A heart, while pure, untainted, innocent, sweet... yet broken! Broken by the selfishness of her own family, who all had better things to do than take poor old Mabel to the Gravity Falls carnival. You should have seen the look on her face as her head drooped walking down the street." Dipper felt bad realizing just the extent of how Mabel handled his delayed departure.
"Oh but that's just one example of you disappointing your sister." Felicity said. "What about the time you almost made Mabel give up Waddles just so you could hang with Wendy!? Or the you had the audacity to grow yourself by an extra half inch taller than your sister the same day you beat her at Chess for the umpteenth time in a row!? Talk about showing off! Or how about-" Felicity would have kept naming examples but was interrupted by Dipper.
"Hey!" Dipper exclaimed. "How do you know about those things?" he asked. "Have you been spying on us all summer?!"
"Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot to mention it earlier." Felicity said.
"Mention what?" asked Dipper.
"Mention my absolute favorite part about body snatching!" Felicity said.
"And what might that be?" Dipper dreaded to ask.
"I get full unlimited access to Mabel's memories" said Felicity.
This realization came to a shock to Dipper. Mabel's inner mind and memories were private, but Felicity had invaded them and used that knowledge as a weapon against Dipper.
"So that's how..." Dipper said, but trailed off.
"Yup, I learned a lot about you two from just Mabel's perspective. I learned of your real name Mason. And wow you guys had a rough childhood, but also had some sweet moments together." Felicity went on. "You two are such close friends, and yet neither of you have decided to take your relationship to the next step! That's what I'm here for."
"But any intercourse between Mabel and I is bad and could have lasting effects!" Dipper exclaimed.
"Hmm hmm hmm, that's not my problem. It's not my body after all." said Felicity. "My bodies been a pile of ashes for years. But let's not get too into that."
"No, do tell what happened to you." requested Dipper. "You've already explained the gist, you're a ghost, but what else? How did you die?
"I'd hate to bore you with my sad and untimely demise." said Felicity. "Just know I died young, via a gunshot to the head, at the hands of someone close to me. My parents died in the same incident. That is all."
"But what was the motive?" Dipper asked trying to get a better understanding of the situation. "Who shot the gun?"
"I told you I wasn't going to bore you with details!" exclaimed Felicity. "Actually I'd mostly be boring myself, I've thought about that night for far too long, and it'd be nice to move forward!"
"So enough small talk, let's sex already!" yelled Felicity. When she yelled, tree roots emerged from the ground and wrapped around Dipper, they grabbed and flung him around, ultimately pinning him flat on the ground. Dipper continued to struggle. Some thinner roots reached over and tried to pull his clothes off, readying for the intercourse.
"You can't do this!" Dipper pleaded. "We're only twelve, and we're siblings. This is inhumane!"
"Oh boo hoo, the little boy thinks I'm being inhumane." Felicity said mockingly. "What's the matter, not old enough or mature enough to go through with it?"
"No! I mean... you can't do this!" Dipper exclaimed.
"Watch me." she said sinisterly. Felicity lowered Mabel's body on top of Dipper. Smaller roots from behind reached around and pulled off Dipper's shirt, and others pulled down his pants. Felicity prepared too by removing Mabel's sweater, and removing her socks.
"Noooooo!" Dipper screamed. All he could do was scream.
Meanwhile back at the fair, Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford were still on the search inside the stupid tunnel of love. The two sat in a boat, making the moment terrifying and uncomfortable to even describe.
"It should be illegal in at least every state for two old men to ride one of these stinkin' rides." Stan said.
"Since when do you care about obeying the law?" Ford said back.
Stan just grumbled as he didn't have a good response.
The two sat in grumpy silence for a bit, until Ford noticed Dipper's hat on the side. The two got out and investigated. Ford picked up the hat.
"Hmm, it appears to be a sign of a struggle, but from what?" Ford wondered.
"Oh so that's the first question you've asked all night, but you've yet to answer my question of 'Why were the kids allowed to wander off unsupervised at night'"? Stan said angerly.
"So this is all my fault? Where were you the entire night? What happened to the "you stay away from the kids; I don't want them in danger." that you said?"
"Your recklessness has put the kids in danger!" Stan exclaimed.
"Okay fine I admit letting the kids wander unsupervised at night is not smart." Ford admitted.
"Good, now say 'thank you' to me for releasing you from the portal." Stan demanded.
"So now this is about you, what about the kids? Who are you really doing this for Stanley, huh?" Ford asked gesturing his hand towards Dipper's hat.
Stan didn't answer, he just got real mad and tacked Ford into the water.
*SPLASH* they went. But answers they did not have.
So back to Dipper and Mabel, how exactly do they get out of this one? Does Felicity succeed in her evil plan to make Dipper and Mabel... you know. Or does Dipper prevail and rescue them both? Or does he not? What is Felicity's complete back story? Do Stan and Ford ever get along? Some of these questions will be answered, in Chapter 5!
