Twinstones
Chapter 2
It was all because of that stupid stone that Dipper was gone. Why had she brought it back in the first place? Because it was pretty, her girly-self said. Oh, your not helping, she told it. I have to get Dipper back. But how. Hmmm. Maybe Ford would know what to do. She got out of the tangled sheets that made her bed and noticed Dippers empty one. Once again she wished desperately that he was home. She went to the vending machine and typed in the password. When it opened she walked down the steps to find Ford. He was bent over the stone, and jumped when he heard Mabels footsteps.
"Ah, Mabel. I was about to come and find you," Mabel walked over to him, "this is a very rare artifact called a Twinstone. All are different, and have different abilities. Depending on the stone, you can teleport or fly, have magic or talent. They all have two things in common. The first is that it can only be activated when both twins that the stone chose are holding theirs. The second is that whatever the ability may be, it can only be reversed by the same or another twinstone."
"But what about Dipper?" Mabel asked.
"After closely examining this twinstone, I have found that this ones abilities lie in traveling through different realms, parallel universes and alternate dimensions. So unless we can get you and the stone to him, he's doomed."
Dipper walked out of the building he now called the Reverse Mystery Shack with a large wad of money in his pocket. He decided to walk around and get familiar with this place in case anything was different. He had walked through the forest for a bit when cold hands clamped around his mouth and dragged him into the shadows. His vision went dark for a sec, then returned to show him two figures that appeared to be him and Mabel, but taller and in different clothes. The Dipper in front of him wore a blue suit top with a glowing amulet where the tie should be, and black jeans. His brown hair was slicked back to reveal his big dipper birthmark. The Mabel wore an equally blue suit top and a black mini-skirt with thick black leggings underneath. She wore a headband with her own glowing stone on it. They looked like the stone Mabel had brought home. Studing these older versions of them, he realized that these must be this dimensions Dipper and Mabel. And if Gideon and Pacifica were in Dippers and Mabels positions, then these must be the bad guys. Suddenly worried, he backed up until he hit a tree. Then the other Dipper stuck out his hand.
"Dipper and Mabel Gleeful. And who might you be?" Scared they would be offended if he refused, Dipper cautiously shook his hand.
"Dipper Pines." He replied.
"Pleasure to meet you. So you're from an alternate dimension are you?"
Dipper frowned. Why were they listening to his conversation with Pacifica and Gideon? The other Dipper leaned in close, still clasping his hand.
"You know, we don't appreciate show-offs. So why don't you scamper off to wherever you came from, huh?" He straighted and opened his palm. A blue flame winked into existence.
"Mabel." He said when Dipper didn't move. Mabel slipped something from behind her back and threw it at Dipper. It landed with a thunk in the tree next to his head.
"Ha! You missed." He said.
As she straightened she answered, "I don't miss." Taking the hint this time, Dipper ran back the way he came.
Mabel couldn't move.
"Wha-what do you mean doomed?" She stammered.
"Exactly how it sounds. Which is why we have to get you and the Twinstone into whatever dimension Dipper in in now and get him back before anything happens to him. And for that I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I know how.
"And the bad news...?" Prompted Mabel.
"And the bad news is that I lack the resources needed."
"So lets go get them!"
