in wich unicorn horns mostly have no use

Dipper watched his sister with a growing sense of worry.

Not for the safety of his sibling (though slightly that too), but for the wellbeing of the frog she held in her hands.

"Alakazam!" She yelled at the most likely very distressed amphibian, shaking it back and forth vigorously.

"Um, Mabel?" He started, pushing away a branch that was about to hit his face. "What are you doing, exactly?"

She stopped with the frog shaking to give her twin a sheepish look.

"Weeell, there are so many frogs here," Mabel began, referring to the suprising amount of frogs in and around the pond in the clearing the twins were currently exploring. "I have to be able to turn at-least one of them into a handsome prince!" she not-quite squeled out, dropping the poor frog onto the ground.

"Aaand, how are you planning on doing that?" Dipper had now completely abandoned his exploration of the pond and it's surroundings in favor of his sisters weird anctics, though a strange small plant near his hooves caught his attention.

"With magic of-course silly." Mabel responded in a tone that heavily implied he wad dumb to assume anything else.

Of course.

"Magic-? Seriously Mabel?" He groaned. Mabel being Mabel had once again gotten an ridiculous idea from who knows where and it now explained why she had taken to picking up any small creature she could get her hands on, starting at them intently for a while before letting them go back on their merry way.

"It's true! I read it in a book." She insisted. "According to Ladymcelizabethrayshinesparkledazzle's book of totally accurate magic, unicorn horns contain enough magic to perform simple spells. And it doesn't get any simpler than turning frogs into to total hotties."

Dipper rolled his eyes, only mentally though, and flipped through a few pages of the journal, trying to see if he could identify the small eggplant looking flowers.

"Mabel, we've been over this." Still flipping through pages, he contemplated wether or not to grab a few of the odd looking flowers when he couldn't find anything about them in the book. Perhaps they were just regular flowers?

"Our horns can only glow, play stupid 90's pop music and point to the nearest rainbow." He demonstrated the latter, his horn glowed dimly and a sparkly deep blue mist trailed from it, dissappearing behind the tree lines.

"Oh i know that." She admitted, a bit miffed that Dipper was ruining her fun.

"But it never hurts to try, right?" Mabel had kinda hoped that if she tried hard enough she'd actually be able to make it happen. It was extremely unlikely, but it had still been a possibility to her.

Dipper didn't answer, instead he assessed his twin.
She look upset, not extremely so, but upset non-theless.

The male twin knew that in this mood Mabel wouldn't really be up for anything. She'd probably mope around for a bit, kiking small rocks for a while until something caught her interest.

It really wasn't a big deal. However-

Seeing his sister upset made Dipper less enthusiastic about the clearing and the pond they were supposed to explore. It was as if his sisterd bad mood was rubbing off on him.

Maybe it was a twin thing?

"So, you wanna go look for that nearest rainbow?"

Mabels face immediately lit up. She abandoned the small patch of dirt she had been digging up with her hoof and pranced up to her brother.

"Really?" She asked, a bit skeptical but unable to hide her excitement. They hadn't gone rainbow hunting in such a long time.

"Really." Dipper confirmed, tucking the journal into his vest and giving Mabel a light nudge with his elbow.

She let out loud squel and rushed past her brother in the direction the blue sparkly mist was leading.

Mabel stopped to pose dramatically on a medium-sized rock, one hand on her hip and the other pointing straight ahead. "To the nearest rainbow!"

"To the nearest rainbow." Dipper echoed, though not as enthusiastically as his twin.

And so the pair of young unicorns were off, out of the clearing with the most likely normal flowers and the pond filled with yellow orange frogs, and venturing deeper into the forest in search of the rainbow
