"And here we are. A cabin!" The wasp named Bumble Head brought the three to a log cabin standing in a clearing with no hill or craters around.
"Where'd you get all the wood for this?" Dipper asked.
"Information not found." the Wasp only replied. "Beep Beep." The robot turned around to greet someone coming. "Welcome home, Madame Organic Being."
"For the last time, I have a name." The elder woman spoke. She (Go ahead and give a description, CC.) "Anywho, who might you three be?"
Dipper as the first to speak up. "My name is Dipper Pines. Paranormal Enthusiast." He turned to the others. "This is my twin sister, Mabel Pines. And our time traveling friend, Blendin Blandin."
"Don't tell Time Baby I'm here!" Blendin yelped.
"Hello to all three of you." She walked up and looked at Mabel. "I love your sweater."
"And you have great fashion sense." Mabel smiled. "So what's your name you lovely lady living in the middle of nowhere?"
The old woman chuckled. "What a delightful girl." She held her neck and cleared her throat. "Well it's not Madame Organic Being. My real name is … Lady on the Rock."
The three just stood there and gave each other a glance. "Lady on the Rock?" Dipper asked.
"Yes…." the woman respond. "A very popular name around these parts."
Dipper looked around for any other sign of life, and there was none. "Believable."
Lady on the Rock unlocked the front door. "Come on, you all must be famished." The three walked in and smelled the pinecone scented living room … all rock themed.
"Logged cabin with no trees around and everything else is what I should have expected." He turned to Bumble Head. "And I'm guessing that asking you way is-"
"Information not found."
"Of course."
Mabel sniffed the air. "Ooooh, it smells so nice …. Are those cookies." Mabel pointed at the small stand as her mouth drooled.
With Lady's blessings, Mabel took a cookie and tasted the mix of white chocolate chip and prunes. "Delicioso!"
As the three chow down, the robot gave them all a good scan. "From my readings …. I am no personal healthcare companion."
Lady of the Rock shook her head. "I'll handle this." She walked up to them to check for any bruises. "Your arms and faces look alright, but are you feeling-"
"My body's a temple!" Blendin randomly spoke.
"...weak?"
"Don't worry too much, we're tough." Mabel said. "So Dipper, are you feeling weak?"
"I'm fine, Mabel." Dipper said as he stands, but then stumbled. "Ow."
Mabel was the first to take action. "Was that your ankle? Or your leg!?"
"Mabel, I'm OW!" Dipper shouted as Mabel poked his ankle.
Feeling something was off, Lady on the Rock stepped in. "I'll handle this, mind getting use lemonade?"
Mabel felt her arm and nodded. "O.K." When she left, Lady asked Dipper if anything is going on.
"She feels guilty, that's all." Dipper answered. "After I nearly gotten hurt the other day, she started feeling like she'd put me through too much with all her crazy shenanigans last summer. I tried to tell her it was O.K. and I did a few stupid things too, but she just doesn't understand."
"And then she wrestled me to grab my Time Tape which got us into this mess." Blendin said as he rests on the couch.
"Perhaps once we're relaxed, you can all make up." Bumble Head suggested.
"Good idea." Lady on the Rock said as Mabel walked in with a pitcher and some cups. "Alright, let's all settle down and chat a bit."
As they sip the lemonade, Dipper and Mabel explained to the woman about Gravity Falls and all the weird stuff that's found there, such as the Gnomes, Manitaurs, and Ducks with their bills on their chests. They even went into a bit about their Grunkles and Bill Cipher.
"Amazing." Lady said as she turned to Bumble Head. "Are you familiar to this Gravity Falls?"
Bumble Head shook his head no. "Negative, Madame Organic Being. All I saw was my test chamber and then the disposal bin."
"Disposal bin?!" Mabel gasped. "Who disowned you!?"
As he think, Bumble Head turned his head around and started blinking. "Howdy Ho, welcome to Madame Organic Being's log cabin."
"Huh?" Mabel turned her head.
"He was like that when I found him floating around here." Lady on the Rock said. "I'm no mechanic, but I believe he was a weapon whose memory was erased so he wouldn't be tracked back to whoever built him." She rubbed Bumble Head on his head. "I tried to figure out who, but all I got was something 'for kids'. Don't know what that means, but I'm sure the people responsible are all gone. Just a feeling."
"Wow, a caregiving death machine." Mabel grinned.
"And he's been so helpful to me." She then started scratching the robot's chin like a dog. " How's a good robot, who's a good robot?"
"Please place political joke here." Bumble Head responded.
"So, Lady. Must be pretty crazy hanging out with a machine that can vaporize you in a second." Blendin brought up, who was then received quiet stares. "It's just … you know … kind of dangerous."
Lady of the Rock rubbed her head. "It's true, we had some problems, but he always shuts down when he get hit in the head." She turned to Bumble Head and smiled. "Guess that was the reason he was abandoned."
"Wait." Mabel spoke up. "Even after that, you're both still buddy buddy?"
The woman nodded. "It was actually a blessing he found his way here." She looked around her living room. "It's lonely living here on this asteroid. Cheap rent though."
"Rent? Who sets up a vacant house here?" asked Dipper, who will receive no answer.
"We have unique conversations and he's been a dear helping me around the house."
Bumble Head flapped his wings. "She's no threat to human lifeforms!"
"Like I said, unique conversations." Lady on the Rock said.
"Wow….." Mabel held her hands as she looks to the ground. "Even they don't have a care in the world." The girls said in her mind.
Lady on the Rock noticed this and decided it was time. "Mabel, do you feel fine with yourself?"
Dipper eyes' widen as Mabel looked up. "Huh?"
"Are you feeling fine? No worries?"
Feeling that she was speaking with Dipper, Mabel decided to open up. "I was never some killer robot, but …. Lately I just figured out how much of a selfish jerk I was to Dipper." She started rubbing her hair. "All because I wanted some boy of the week or something stupid. Who know's, maybe you could have gotten together with Wendy, Dipper."
"W-What?!" Dipper turned red. "C-Calm down, Mabel. Don't want to push it."
"Wendy?" Lady on the Rock snickered. "Is she cute?"
"Gorgeous, funny, a great person and friend, adventurous, and then that one time a feather landed on her nose and she tried to blow it away but it kept floating back on I mean I could stare at that for-for, I MEAN YES! I mean …. Ugh!" Dipper sigh from embarrassment. "Bottom line. She's 16, I'm thirteen. Had a huge crush on her last year. She let me down gently and I continued my search for the author a.k.a. My other Grunkle. End of story."
Despite her gloom state, even Mabel couldn't help but slightly giggle.
Despite still feeling embarrassed, even Dipper was lightened up by his sister's laugh. "Heh …. As if that was going anywhere, I mean I was still twelve and … well I smell like baby wipes and have noodle arms. Why am I saying these embarrassing things right now?"
"Maybe it's because you don't have free will?" Bumble Head suggested.
"And I remember when having a normal life was … well normal."
"And I remember this too." Blendin said. "Mabel said something about free will when we were time traveling …. For something …" he turned to Mabel. "Actually I don't really remember now. Did we have some time travel adventure? I think we were pirating some multi-genre movies."
Mabel only shrugged.
"Well that's weird … and I feel nervous now."
"Alright, let's get back on track." Lady on the Rock said as she spoke to Dipper. "So, she's older than you?"
"Yeah, she is." Dipper rubbed his neck. "But this was last year..."
"Also I want to hook him up with Pacifica." Mabel interrupted with a laughed, which of course didn't help Dipper much.
"To be that young again." Lady on the Rock softly spoke.
"Congratulations!" Bumble Head spoke. "That was your 100th cliche old person line!"
"Wait until you're old and rusty." She shook her head. "Well I'm not saying it's impossible for you to be together with her someday, but don't think you'll end up being alone forever." She looked over to Mabel. "You know you'll have help."
Mabel softly smiled.
"So ….. Are you two calm enough?"
Mabel and Dipper looked at each other. This was her plan the entire time. Mabel showed signs of nervousness, but noticed Bumble Head holding a fan.
"This is the only clue I can give about 'breathing deeply'."
Mabel laughed and took a deep breath. "Dipper. … I'm sorry." She glanced away for a second. "I guess when I just jump into my crazy schemes … I also jump right into doing the right thing ….. Without my brain."
Dipper laughed. "And Mabel, I had some selfish moments too …. But you're right. You did have a lot …. But I was still happy to help you." Dipper smiled. "Like when you won Waddles and I didn't get with Wendy. That was never going to go anywhere-"
"Not until you're both adults."
"I'll only give it a shot if we're both single at the time." Dipper added. "I would be left with a 'feeling good and bad at the same time' thing, but you won't have a pig that annoys Grunkle Stan."
The warmth in Mabel's heart made the girl giggle. "And I almost dated a puppet kissing freak if it wasn't for you. Awkward Sibling Hug?" Mabel stood up and held her arms up.
"Awkward Sibling Hug." The two embraced one another and patted each other's back. "Pat pat."
"That ….. That was beautiful!" Blendin started to shed tears of joy as the tears landed on Bumble Head's eyes.
"Just wait till the hormones kick in. Then they'll just have a competition on who can mess up the most in a month. Bzzzzzz Non-kid friendly. Must cut out all good stuff from this teenage-targeted pirate show." Then two windshield wipers sprout out to clear Bumble Head's vision.
"Not this again." Lady of the Rock patted the robot on the head, fixing his mind. "I'm glad to see you all came back to your senses."
"Thanks to you, lady." Mabel hugged the woman.
"And you too, Bumble Head." Dipper said as he smiles at the robot.
"Pleasure to assist."
Blendin wiped away the last of his tears. "I learned something today too … it's that we're probably stuck here forever!" shouted the Time Traveler with his broken time machine. "Even if I fixed it, there's no way I can make that crazy dimension-traveling jump the shark thing happen again! We're never leaving!"
"Don't worry, I got this." Lady on the Rock then took out a pair of scissors and somehow cut open a portal in midair. "You can find a shop with something to fix that, and I believe we can bring you back to Gravity Falls."
Dipper and Mabel's eyes widened. "How'd you get those scissors?!"
"Long story." Lady on the Rock answered. "Now let's go."
After a trip through the store Lady mentioned, they eventually found their way back to Gravity Falls, right before the crack of dawn.
"I am not going to stay awake well tonight." Dipper said as he sees the bit of sunlight through the mountains.
"I will!" Mabel smiled as she turned to Lady on the Rock and Bumble Head. "You two are welcome here anytime! Also my Grunkles might try and hit on you and fail miserably at it!"
"I ….. I'll just say I'm taken." She gave a fake smile. "But don't be strangers too. Come back if you're able."
"Goodbye, Dipper and Mabel." Bumble Head's eyes lite up. "Until we meet again …. Also you can have this!" He then threw out what looks like a white marshmallow man with some red armor on him. "If you think I'm vicious, than don't turn him on."
"That sounds interesting." Then some random person in a black coat showed up. "I'm taking this." He picked up the thing and vanished in a portal of darkness.
"O.K. Nevermind. Byyyyye!"
The portal closed and the three waved goodbye.
"They were so nice." Mabel said as she holds her hands. "Well Dipper, it's time for me to be extra generous today. I say I make you my special Cotton Candy Stew."
"And I'll do something stupid and crazy for once." Dipper proudly said. "I'm going to give a random girl twice my age my MMO blog site."
"And I'm going to feel very concerned about that guy in the black coat." Blendin said. "Are you two worred too …. No? O.K. … it's probably something too complicated anyway."
...
And so end our tale. Mabel learned that she cannot just stop her old ways alone, and accept responsibility to support her brother, like he does with her.
Dipper mentally stopped himself about the MMO blog thing, which for an instant he felt he really wanted to do.
And an owl devoured a mouse alive.
The End
