Twinstones
Chapter 5
That alternate dimension Dipper was becoming a nuisance. Dipper Gleeful delicately sipped his tea and made a face at it. It was bitter.
"Bill! What have I said about giving me bitter tea!" He scolded. The reverse Bill was blue and a wimp. When he heard Dippers angry tone, he very nearly spilt the tea he was pouring for Mabel. Unlike Dipper, she liked the bitter taste.
"Uh, yes my lord Dipper. Apologies, I'll make you a sweeter one my lord." He stammered. He was terrified out of his wits. A blue, glowing chain attached his leg to Mabels wrist. Bill was practically a slave.
"Better." He resumed his plotting. That alternate dimension Dipper was becoming a nuisance, always poking his nose where it shouldn't be. Something would have to be done about him if they were to become all-powerful with their Twinstones like they planned. He accepted a new cup of tea from Bill and smiled. Dipper always loved it when someone had to be eliminated.
After logging the Twinstone into his journal, Dipper Pines' head was so full of theories and possibilities that his mind was close to bursting. He decided that a walk in the woods would hlp him clear his mind of unnecessary clutter. Tucking the journal into his vest, he strolled out of the Reverse Mystery Shack once again. He took a new, un-beaten path. He listened to the sounds of the forest and watched the wildlife. Little by little he felt his brain relax. Dipper took a deep breath and sighed.
He had been walking for an hour when he fell into unconsciousness. One of the Gleeful twins had knocked him out with their magic. Imeadiately the reverse Dipper grabbed the boys head and explored his mind with his own. Sometimes their magic did unpredictable things when they did mind-affecting spells. He was alive. A pity. He would have to do it the old fashioned way as he and Mabel possessed no death-magic. Unfortunately he left his tools at home. He might as well get information while he was at it. Dipper sighed, picked him up and hoisted him over his shoulder, heaving with the effort. It would be better if Mabel was there, but she was occupied spying on Gideon and Pacifica in case they suspect somethings up. He was just about to set off when something dropped out of Dippers vest. It was journal number 3.
"Odd. I thought Gideon had the third journal." He remarked, flipping through the pages. "Ah, that's right. Gideon is the reverse of this Dipper. It would only make sense for him to have a copy." Curious, he dug around in Dippers pockets and drew out a stone like their own, only white instead of blue. It was also whole. Reverse Dipper and Mabels Twinstone was split in two after a powerful magical working. Of course, both of them had to touch it at the same time, so to make them work Dippers amulet had no back to block the connection, and Mabels headband had a hole behind where her half was attached. They both were always constantly touching theirs. Suddenly he heard a sound. Dipper G looked around, but nothing was there. He contemplated exploring with his magic, but decided against it, instead saving it for later. It must have been a mouse, he thought to himself. Satisfied with what had found, he continued on his way, loaded Dipper into his truck, got into the front seat and drove off.
Mabel watched as Dipper left the shack through the attic window. Briefly she thought Bill had possessed Dipper to make her give him the Twinstone. As quickly as she had thought of it she cast it aside. If he was possessed, then his eyes would be different or glowing or something like that. Besides, he was telling the truth. He did in fact log the stone in his precious journal. She saw it with her own eyes. But why is he going out now? Curious, wary, and a little bit frightened, she made her way downstairs. Looking around, she was fascinated by the familiarity of the Shack. Ever since she got here she had been constantly forgetting that she was in another dimension. She felt a pang of sadness and homesickness at the thought of home as she reached the front door. Mabel opened the door and a cool gust of wind caressed her face, blowing away all thoughts of unhappiness. Taking a deep breath, knowing that she probably wasn't going to like what she will see, Mabel chased after Dipper at a trot.
Dipper was in sight after half an hour when he suddenly collapsed with a thud. She stiffled a gasp and hid in a bush as an older version of Dipper came into veiw and grasped her brothers head. This must be the reverse Dipper from this dimension, thought Mabel, remembering her now unconsious brothers explaination of roles in this universe. The reverse Dipper sighed and lifted the boy up onto his shoulders. He's kidnapping Dipper, thought Mabel, horrified, I gotta do something! But her body refused to co-operate. She just stood there, staring like an idiot. Just at that moment, an object fell out of Dippers vest. Uh, oh. The journal. Reverse Dipper picked it up and started leafing through the pages.
"Odd. I thought Gideon had the third journal. Ah, that's right. Gideon is the reverse of this Dipper. It would only make sense for him to have a copy." He started to dig around in Dippers pockets until he drew out something round that gleamed pale in the moonlight. Mabel gasped, loud enough for Dipper G to hear. He looked around, then looked thoughtful for a moment, before leaving. Mabel wanted to go after him, but fear locked her in place. She just got him back. She couldn't lose him again. Finally recovered from her trance, she sprinted as fast as she could back to the Mystery Shack.
"Hold on Dipper, we're comming. I'm not going to lose you again. You just need to hang on." She wispered, more as comfort to her than a promise to him, but a promise all the same.
"Just hang on."
