"Oh my God, a new Nom Nom video!" The brunette girl continued to gush as she stared at the notification. Mabel nearly tripped over herself as she rushed out of the room to get snacks, ignoring the deep sigh she heard from her twin. Shaking his head, Dipper began to make his way throughout their home. He made extra sure to keep his ears alert in case Mabel were to rush through a doorway he happened to go through. The expression on his face turned sour as he remembered all the other times those incidents occurred. However, this morning's small mix up replayed in his head for a brief moment. The brunette boy pulled the hat off of his head for a moment to stare at it for a moment.
Although the hat itself held some good memories, he couldn't help associate it with one particular regret. "The past is the past, Dip-stick, get over it..."
"Guh, my name's Dipper, I like to talk to myself when I think Mabel's not around~" Upon hearing his sister's mocking words, the brunette boy smiled slightly. He knew his twin never meant anything bad from it. In fact, he appreciated Mabel's different views. They allowed a more practical solution when his mind would go through mental gymnastics trying to solve a problem.
"Don't you have a video of a sassy but cute Koala to watch?" In response to the question, Mabel pulled up her phone to reveal the thumbnail of the video. The contents of it set off many red flags in Dipper's head, most notably that the title of it was for a public apology. However, with the Koala's streak, it would obviously be a pathetic attempt at damage control.
"My condolences," Dipper simply replied as he continued on his way to his study. Before he could even take another step he could feel Mabel following close behind. "Mabel, you do know I'm going to our Studies, right?"
"I do." The brunette girl replied warmly, a large, yet genuine smile spreading across her face. More red flags went up in Dipper's head as he tried to deduce a reason why Mabel would follow him there of all places. Shrugging it off for the moment, the brunette boy continued on his way. Upon pulling out a single thick book from a vast collection, he could see in the corner of his eyes that his sister sat herself down on the couch, waiting patiently.
As Dipper began to flip through the pages, trying to find the information he wanted, he couldn't help but feel Mabel's intense gaze on him. Needing a small distraction for himself, the young man pulled out a pen and immediately began to chew on it. However, even with the idle action he couldn't put the feeling of being stared at out of his mind.
"Mabel... Why are you even here?" The brunette girl pulled her hair over her shoulder to idly play with it as she came clean.
"I'm just waiting for you to get called by that cute boy~" Dipper only shook his head, even though he already anticipated this, it still disappointed him to find out Mabel was still holding fruitless crushes.
The reason that this chapter is short is because that it is part of a "shorts" that I prepared to show that some stories are still alive. Although, they will most indefinitely be on Hiatus while I focus on a series that I absolutely love to write for and wish to complete to its fullest extent before starting or continuing anymore stories. I hope you all understand, and Merry Christmas.
