Chapter 5: Versus Mabel Part II
'Mabel has made herself a sister and couldn't be happier about it. However, unbenoticed to her, Catherine is concealing a dark side. Will Mabel find out before it's too late?'
Previously
"Yes, it is good to have you as a sister too." Catherine begins. "But clearly, there can only be one Mabel Pines and that one will be me!"
With a devious grin appearing, Catherine now turns to Waddles. Noticing the evil expression on the girl's face, Waddles begins backing away from Catherine.
With Waddles continuing to back away from Catherine, the replica now grabs the pig forcefully and drags him out of the room. Reaching the blue chest at the end of the hall, Catherine opens it with one hand while holding the pig tightly with the other. Despite the pig's squirming and squealing to get away from the girl, Catherine forcefully places Waddles inside the chest.
"Bye bye piggy." Catherine hatefully says to the pig.
Mabel's 'sister' Catherine is evil and is planning to do away with Mabel when she gets the chance to. However, when Dipper made clones of himself, none of them turned out to be evil. So how did it happen to Catherine?
The previous afternoon
Stanford Pines was in his office counting the money he earned from his tours from that morning. After four successful tours that morning starting at 8am, Stanford accumulated a pretty good amount of revenue and the wad he is currently counting consists of nothing but fifty and one hundred dollar bills.
"Yet another successful day!" Stanford cheers, continuing to count his money. "Who can run a successful business and make a lot of money? This guy!"
Continuing to count his wad, Stanford now comes to the end of the roll and places his money down. Grabbing his tour register book, Stanford notices that the last sheet in the book is full, having written in his last tour takes from three days ago.
"It appears that I forgot to add more sheets after writing in my last tour's take." Stanford says rather nonchalantly. "I should have remembered to do that when the sheet became full. Well, time to get more sheets."
Getting to his feet, the old man makes his way over to the printer and grabs a hand full of printer paper that is sitting atop the printer. Before walking back to his desk, Stanford suddenly remembers that the printer tray needs to be re-filled.
"Just in case those kids need to use the printer." Stanford shrugs.
Placing the paper in his hands back down, Stanford now grabs another stack of paper, parchment paper. Thanks to his cataracts and having taken off his glasses, the old man couldn't exactly see what he was grabbing and assumed he was grabbing the same paper he had his hands on previously. With the parchment paper in hand, Stanford now opens the printer tray and chucks a load of the paper into the tray. Shutting it closed, he grabs a hand full of the parchment paper and makes his way back to his desk where he proceeds to add pages to his tour register book.
With the parchment paper in the printer, the paper now glows a bright green.
Having filled the register book with the amount of paper he needed, Stanford writes in the day's tours' revenue. Now placing the money in a safe deposit box under the desk, Stanford makes his way out of the office leaving the office door wide open. That is when Mabel runs into the office with Waddles, anxious to make a copy of herself so she can have a sister.
"Great, he's not here." Mabel cheers. "Now's my chance!"
With Mabel in the office with Waddles, Stanford obviously forgot something and returned to his office to find that his niece was about to use the printer.
"Now's your chance what?" Stanford's voice speaks to the right of the girl.
Having heard her great uncle speak to her, Mabel now turns to the older man and notices him entering the office. A nervous smile finds its way onto her face.
"Um, now's my chance to make a copy of my Candy Land game instructions." Mabel says, holding the instruction pamphlet up in front of her. "I need to make a copy so that Dipper will have a set for when we play the game later."
"Is that all?" Stanford asks, cocking an eyebrow. "Just refill the paper tray when you're done. I think there are three sheets left in there."
"You got it gruncle Stan." Mabel smiles.
When her great uncle left the office, obliviously forgetting that he just refilled the printer tray, Mabel had more than an ample opportunity to make a copy of herself. The copy resulted in the creation of Catherine.
Present Time
"I'm out." Mabel calls, now placing her cards on the floor. "The game goes to you once again Catherine."
"That's six in a row." Catherine replies as she lays her cards out. "Are you sure you're just not letting me win?"
"Of course not." Mabel laughs. "Ok, do you want to go again? I may even beat you this time."
"No, let's do something else." Catherine suggests. "Oh I know, let's make cookies!"
"You read my mind!" Mabel cheers, now picking up their playing cards and placing them on Dipper's bed. "What should we make? Buttermilk cookies? Sugar? Or what about chocolate chip?"
3..2..1..
"Sugar cookies!" Both Mabel and Catherine shout. "I just love sugar cookies!"
"Then that's what we'll make." Catherine nods.
"I just love my new sister!" Mabel squeals, now darting out of the room ahead of Catherine.
With Mabel out of sight, Catherine's body glows a light green aura with her evil grin reappearing. Taking a step out of the room, Catherine now looks to her right to the chest Waddles is in and chuckles evilly.
"One down, one left to go." Catherine says as she turns her vision back to the front of her.
Forest
Dipper is still face to face with the giant eyeball and with every muscle in his body still frozen from fear, his mind is shouting at him to RUN! Despite his mind screaming at him to flee, Dipper can't bring himself to move.
"So here's a little bit about me." Dipper begins. "My name is Dipper Pines and I have a twin sister named Mabel. She is just the cheeriest girl you could ever hope to meet and sometimes get annoyed by. There are times where I just want a day of quiet and she will just burst out saying the most random things! But that's Mabel for you."
Breaking into a laugh and hoping to relax the tense situation, Dipper halts his laughing noticing the eyeball is still glaring at him.
"So do you have any siblings?" Dipper asks, still hoping to lighten the mood. "I know I'm not the only one who has a sister."
Continuing to exchange looks with the eyeball, Dipper now notices the eyeball sprout five limbs from the eyelid. The limbs now open on the ends to reveal smaller eyeballs.
"If you don't run now, you will regret it!" Dipper's mind screams to him.
"Ok, so nice talking to you and I'll catch you around!" Dipper says, now turning his right foot out to run. He has regained his ability to move!
From there, Dipper's body is suddenly hit with a burst of energy resulting in him breaking out into a run at break neck speed back towards the shack.
Mystery Shack (Kitchen)
Mabel and Catherine have laid out the ingredients they need to begin making their sugar cookies. Mabel is currently at the table rolling the cookie dough while Catherine is standing next to the stove having turned it on so it can heat up.
"So I say we add some sprinkles and maybe a few decorations to our cookies." Mabel says as she continues rolling her dough. "You know, something to make them really 'pop'!"
With Mabel's back turned to Catherine, she doesn't notice Catherine's evil smile appear.
"So I'm thinking red sprinkles or even green." Mabel continues as she gently molds the dough. "No, pink sprinkles! Pink makes a statement so we'll go with pink for sure!"
Continuing to listen to Mabel ramble on about her color sprinkles, Catherine now eyes a rolling pin that is sitting on the counter next to the stove. Quickly grabbing it, Catherine grips it tightly in her left hand.
"I've listened to you long enough!" Catherine mentally says to herself as she begins approaching the girl. "Lights out Mabel!"
Now standing just inches from Mabel, Catherine raises the rolling pin high above her head. Knowing exactly where she is going to hit Mabel, Catherine is about to bring the utensil down with force on the girl for when the Mabel suddenly turns around to Catherine. Seeing the rolling pin in her hands, Mabel eyes Catherine suspiciously with a wide smile appearing on Catherine's face.
"How did you know I needed that?" Mabel asks in her normally cheery voice.
"Well we are sisters with that sister's intuition." Catherine smiles as she hands Mabel the rolling pin.
"So pink sprinkles then?" Mabel asks.
"Sure." Catherine agrees continuing to smile.
Hugging Catherine once more, Mabel turns her back to her once again to continue working with the dough.
"Also, what do you think about the cookies having our initials on them?" Mabel asks, now flattening the dough with the rolling pin. "I would put our initials in different color frosting on the cookies. Like mine would be a pink 'M', Dipper's would be a blue 'D', and yours would be a red 'C'. I really can't wait for you to meet Dipper and I just realized that I'm not mad at him anymore. "
"The colored initial frosting is a really great idea Mabel." Catherine replies, trying to sound happy about Mabel's idea.
"You'd think I'd put your initial in pink like mine since we are technically the same person." Mabel continues. "But we can do something different, but don't expect that too much, ha-ha-ha!"
Folding her arms, Catherine rolls her eyes, furious that her first idea to knock Mabel off was foiled.
Mystery Shack (Forest Entrance)
Dipper has run from the deep of the forest back to the mystery shack at break neck speed. Now collapsing at the front door of the shack, Dipper begins catching his breath which is extremely thin at the moment. Turning to look behind him, Dipper notices that the giant eyeball hasn't followed him back to the shack.
"Good, I lost him." Dipper says through his heavy pants. "But at least I have a picture to remember this adventure!"
Having caught his breath enough, Dipper now enters the house and immediately makes his way to the attic, not bothering to look for Mabel right away. Entering the room, the younger pines notices the candy land game board spread out on Mabel's bed with a few of the game pieces scattered about on the floor.
"Ok." Is all Dipper could say.
Now placing his backpack on his bed, the deck of cards that Mabel and Catherine were using slides off the bed and drops onto his left foot. Feeling something hit him on the toes, Dipper looks down to spot the cards spilled all over his left foot.
"What was she doing up here while I was gone?" Dipper asks himself as he scoops the cards up and places them on the night stand.
Opening the third drawer on his side of the nightstand, Dipper grabs a pair of clean shorts and quickly makes his way to the bathroom. Within a minute, Dipper comes out of the bathroom with a smile on his face.
"That is much better." The pines exclaims.
Now making his way back to the room, the sound of small whimpers catches his ears.
"What the?" Dipper says to himself, continuing to listen to the whimpers.
Picking up the location of the whimpers, Dipper can hear that they are coming from the chest down the hall from he and Mabel's room. Walking to the chest, he can hear the whimpers more clearly. Removing the box from the top of the chest, Dipper opens the lid and spots Waddles.
"Waddles, what were you doing in there?" Dipper questions as he helps the pig out of the chest. "How did you get in there?"
Waddles clings tightly to Dipper while Dipper is trying to place him on the floor.
"Does Mabel know you were in there?" Dipper inquires to the animal as if he could understand him. "Come on, let's go find her. She might be wondering where you were."
Kitchen
Mabel and Catherine are placing the nicely cut and decorated cookies on the greased cookie sheets. Mabel now places the last cookie on the sheet and stands back to observe her and Catherine's handiwork.
"We did a pretty good job." Mabel nods with a smile.
"Yes we did and the pink sprinkles do make the cookies pop." Catherine agrees.
Smiling to her 'sister', Mabel grabs the cookie sheets and takes them to the stove to be placed in the oven. Her back is once again turned.
Seeing this as another opportunity to do away with Mabel classic, Catherine quickly grabs the nearest 'weapon' from the utensils that were used to make the cookies, which is a meat tenderizing mallet. Quietly approaching Mabel, Catherine grips the handle of the utensil tightly in both hands as she raises the mallet above her head. Knowing exactly where she plans to hit the girl, Catherine's evil smile reappears.
"I will be true Mabel Pines!" Catherine mentally says to herself now stopping an inch from Mabel's back. "Good-bye Mabel classic!"
Just as Catherine is about to bring the mallet down on Mabel, Dipper's voice suddenly yells out: MABEL WATCH OUT!
Now we know why Catherine is corrupt, but what is going to be done to stop her exactly? Being made out of paper, she can be dissolved by water! Will Dipper be the one to destroy Mabel's 'sister' now witnessing Catherine's attempt to knock off his sister? Keep reading to find out in installment three!
