Chapter Thirty: Little Matthew
Wendy had been in many relationships over the years. But no guy had ever felt more…right then Matthew. It was if she had known him forever, like the feeling of a mother or riding a bike, you never forgot and when you needed it the most the feeling came back.
As an extra bonus, he was hands down the best kisser ever. She could still remember the Guy with the Tattoos, kissing him was like taking a ride in a water slide. His lousy kissing was part of the reason she couldn't even remember his name and why their relationship ended in only a week. But she could remember it all when it came to Matt.
His soft lips, his sweet breath, the scent of pine needles coming off him, his warm chest pressing and rubbing against hers, his strong arms around her waist, the taste of his mouth…it was a night to remember.
That night, Wendy had the strangest thing happen to her, as she slept, images flashed through her brain at top speed, filling her up with memories she didn't even know existed…some girl named, Clara?
She saw her holding hands with what looked vaguely like a triangle with a top hat. It then switched to Clara sitting on a piano bench while Bill played a song in a grey world, it then switched to Bill in a humanoid form, promising that they'd be together forever once he left the…Mindscape?
Clara and him kissing.
Wendy woke up from the barrage of dreams, blinking twice to get the sleep from her eyes as she looked out the window. "Clara," she mumbled.
She was one of Matthew's clients when he was Bill Cipher, wasn't she?
I'll ask him in the morning. She decided.
…C-I-P-H-E-R…
That same night, Matthew walked in to the gift shop, and he seriously couldn't stop grinning like a dumb idiot.
"MATTIE!" came the loud voice of Mabel.
The teen screamed in surprise as the Matthew-Seeking Missile barreled into him and hugged his stomach.
"How was it?! Did you hold hands? Did you talk?" Mabel gasped and rose on her toes, stars in her eyes. "Did you kiss?"
Matthew didn't answer, though he felt his cheeks heating up again. God, he felt like a girl.
Mabel shrieked. "YOU DID!"
"Hey, quite down, kid! I'm watching TV!" Stan barked from the living room.
"Sorry, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel called back, before turning to her brother, singing, "Matthew, had his first kiss, Matthew had his first kiss, Matthew had his first kiss!"
"Well…technically, no. In my previous life, I had a few girlfriends and boyfriends," Matthew said. "In this life, yeah, I guess."
"You had other girlfriends and boyfriends? You have to tell me about them!" Mabel said.
"Sure, just…" Matthew crouched next to Mabel. "Promise me you won't tell Dipper about the kiss?"
"My lips our sealed!" Mabel said cheerfully.
"Thanks, so, off to bed, I'll tell you my love lives tomorrow."
"Aww, Matt!"
"I have stuff to do."
"Secret stuff? Portal stuff?" Mabel asked with her hands on her hips and her eyes narrowed.
"Portal—what are you talking about?" Matthew demanded.
Mabel squinted some more before smiling. "G'night, bro-bro!" She jumped up the stairs while humming.
Matthew narrowed his eye suspiciously before walking in the living room to find Stan. "You got the waste?"
"Yup!" Stan said. "Shouldn't be long n—." The phone than rang.
"Oh no, no, no, no!" Stan moaned.
"Hey handsome! It's me, Susan! Call me!" Susan said once it went on the answering machine.
"How do I get out of this kid?! You gotta help me!" Stan cried desperately.
"Why don't you just talk to her?" Matthew suggested.
"What?! I can't do that!" Stan said.
"Why not? You're old, no offense but not many ladies are going to be looking at you," Matthew said with a shrug.
Stan frowned in thought as the phone rang once more.
"Trust me, you may just spark something," Matthew said with a smile.
Stan hesitated, before picking the phone up. "Uh…hey, Susan. How are you?" There was a pause. "Oh, I was just…uh, busy."
There was another pause. "Friday? Yeah, I guess I can do that—uh, huh, sure, 'bye." Stan sighed and hung the phone up.
"What did she say?" Matthew asked.
"Well…I'm going on a date on Friday, that's something."
"Well, to work?"
"Yup."
"Also, uh, Stan?" Matthew went up to Stan and whispered, "The twins are getting suspicious, I think, might want to talk in more secluded areas."
"Right."
…C-I-P-H-E-R…
The next morning Matthew sat down on the counter when Soos and Wendy came in.
"'Morning, guys," Matthew said.
"Morning," Soos replied. Wendy gave him an awkward smile which Matthew returned. He was sure it'd be weird between them for a while, they couldn't be just friends after that kiss. But neither were sure if they wanted to take the next step.
"Hey, Matt," Wendy said as she sat behind the cash register.
"Sup?"
"About…Clara," Wendy said.
"Yeah, what about her?" Matthew asked slowly.
"I had a dream about her…her and, your past self. You two were in a relationship?"
Matthew was silent for a few seconds. "Yeah…she's the reason I stopped loving."
"Whoa, dude, are you about to tell a tragic love story?" Soos asked. "Man, they have lots of anime like that!"
Matthew chuckled darkly. "You can say that…"
They then heard Stan scream.
"Be right back," Matthew said getting up and walking into the living room to find Stan throwing a painting over and grabbing a bag of money.
"Where's the secret entrance?!" He demanded.
"Mr. Pines," an unfamiliar man said walking forward. "I'm from the winning house coupon savers contest and YOU are our BIG WINNER!"
A camera man, and two women with balloons and a large cheque walked in, one of them throwing confetti on Stan.
"My one dream…which is to possess money, has come true!" Stan said with a grin.
"We're rich! I'm going to buy a butler!" Dipper said.
"I'm getting a talking horse!" Mabel said.
"Where, are you getting that from?" Matthew asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm going to pay a scientist to make one," Mabel explained.
"Fair enough," Matthew shrugged. "But seriously, I'm not rich enough for you guys?"
"Always," Dipper chuckled.
"Sign here for the money!" The man said.
"You bet!" Stan said cheerfully. He wrote his name down.
Then, Gideon came in, splitting the check in half.
"Stanford, you fool!" He laughed. "You just signed the Shack over to Little old Gideon!" Gideon then proceeded to do a stupid little dance.
Dipper and Mabel gasped in horror and Matthew cracked his knuckles. "Well, if you're dead and hung from a tree with your eyes gouged—."
"Might want to take another look at that," Stan said with a smirk.
Gideon looked at the sheet with smugness before his eyes widened. "'Suck a lemon little man?!'"
the Pines burst into laughter.
"How dare you?! I am not a threat to be taken lightly!" Gideon said, gesturing for the man to pick him up.
"I'll get you, Stanford Pines! I'll get you all!" Gideon called as he "walked" backwards, just as the mailman came delivering newspapers.
"Um, thanks," Matthew said taking the newspaper.
"My pleasure, ladies' man," The mailman winked and walked off. As Matthew closed the door behind him and the twins and Stan went to go back to watching TV, he looked at the front page and almost choked on his own spit.
There was a photo of Wendy and he kissing. The Furious Fire Boy's Girlfriend?! (See story on pg. 3).
Matthew's jaw dropped. "Who…?!"
"Matt?" Dipper said. "Are you okay? You look pale."
"Ah, um…" Matthew quickly burnt the paper in his hand. "Totally fine."
"What was that?" Dipper asked.
"Morning newspaper, it was just some more gossip about me…stupid," Matthew forced a light laugh and rolled his eye.
"Um…okay," Dipper said walking off. Matthew sighing in relief.
He walked back to the gift shop were Soos was putting jars on display and Wendy was reading one of the magazines. Dipper and Mabel, meanwhile were playing chess.
"So, were you going to continue your soap story?" Wendy teased lightly.
"Yeah…" Matthew nodded and cleared his throat. "Well…"
"Oooh! Sob stories?! I love those!" Mabel said cheerfully.
"Check mate!" Dipper said knocking over her king and whooping. Mabel groaned.
"If only could play that well with me," Matthew snickered.
"Oh, shut up," Dipper mumbled as Mabel laughed at her twin teasingly.
"Hey, Matthew, can you pass that jar?" Soos asked, pointing at said item.
"Yeah sure," Matthew tried using his telekinesis again, smiling, when the jar floated, though he frowned when it fell and shattered.
"Okay…" Matthew muttered, embarrassed.
"I'll do it," Dipper said.
"Maybe Mabel should do it," Soos suggested.
"Huh? Why?" Dipper asked with a frown.
"She's a millimetre taller."
"What? No, we've always been the same height!" Dipper objected.
"Lemme see," Matthew said making a measuring tape appear out of nowhere. The twins went back to back, Dipper taking off his hat and Matthew measured them. "Um…yup, Mabel's a millimetre taller."
"What?!" Dipper demanded.
"Don't you see? I'm the superior twin! Bigger, stronger! This extra millimetre is only the beginning!" Mabel said with a grin.
"Like some sort of alpha twin," Wendy said from behind the counter.
"Alpha twin! Alpha twin!" Mabel chanted.
"Nobody even uses millimeters! You're only taller than me in Canada!" Dipper said.
"People use millimeters for science all over the world," Matthew said. "So, she'd be taller than you anywhere."
Mabel cheered and Dipper scowled. "Traitor."
"Sorry," Matthew chuckled. "Couldn't help it."
"I always wanted a little brother! Turns out I already had one! HA!" Mabel laughed.
"Well, Dipper has a short fuse judging by his face," Matthew said and the duo laughed. Soos and Wendy exchanging a look.
"I was awoken by the sound of mockery!" Stan said walking in. "Who is the victim of ridicule?"
"I'm taller than Dipper!" Mabel boasted.
"By one millimeter!" Dipper said.
"Hey, hey, don't get short with your sister!" Him and the two other Pines laughed.
"Maybe, you guys should lay off a tiny bit," Soos suggested.
"Yeah, aren't you guys being a tad mean?" Wendy said.
"Ha! Tiny and tad! Wendy and Soos are in on it!" Stan laughed.
"What? No, that's not what I—." Soos began, though was cut off by laughter. Dipper scowled and walked into the attic.
"Don't worry, he'll forget," Mabel said. "Dipper has, three, two one…"
"Short term memory!" Stan, Mabel, and Matthew laughed.
"We are on fire! BOOM!" Mabel high-fived both Matthew and Stan at the same time. "Ow!" Stan said.
"I high-five hard," Mabel said apologetically.
"Don't you guys think that was a bit intense?" Wendy asked.
"Maybe a bit, he'll get over it," Matthew shrugged.
"You would kill Robbie if he did something like that to Dipper…and you never teased him before, Matt, what's going on?" Wendy asked with a frown.
"Are you comparing me to Robbie?" Matthew demanded.
Mabel and Stan exchanged a look, both awkwardly exiting the room.
"What? No! It's just…you're acting a bit different, that's all," Wendy replied. "No need to get all sensitive."
Matthew scoffed and walked off. Though she was right…a month ago, he'd never have teased Dipper that harshly. What was seriously wrong with him?
It was something his past self did a lot…
That's crazy, you're crazy, you're not turning into him.
Matthew shook his head and sat on the porch, feeling the wind on his face and barely noticed Dipper walking out with his nose buried in journal 3.
…C-I-P-H-E-R…
A Hundred Something Years Back.
Clara pulled the bowstring back, one eye closed and her tongue sticking out, aiming her arrow at a deer. She released the string and the deer fell limp as the arrow hit its target.
"I'm sorry, friend," Clara said as she walked towards the dead creature, hiking her long dress up a bit so she could step easily through the underbrush.
Mother would disapprove. She thought, smiling mischievously as she hoisted the deer over her shoulder and walked back to the mansion, her dress was getting covered in blood but she didn't care much.
Clara wanted to get this done quickly, hoping she could take a nap and chat with her beloved. Bill…She sighed dreamily, she loved him dearly, he was the reason she was banished and disowned but she didn't care, she wanted him more than anything else and she'd help him with her goals if it meant she could stay with him.
Bill hovered in the Mindscape, watching Clara with a look of fondness that he barely used anymore for anyone.
"Ah, my little goddess…"
…C-I-P-H-E-R…
Present
Matthew didn't know how long he sat there staring at the clouds, but Dipper came back, looking smug.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Notice anything…different?" Dipper asked with a smirk.
"Nope," Matthew said, and Dipper scowled before walking in. What exactly was he referring to?
Matthew followed Dipper in and he crossed his arms. "Notice anything?" He asked again.
"You grew an extra millimetre!" Soos exclaimed.
"What?" Mabel and Matthew said in unison. Matthew made a measuring tape appeared and measured the two.
"He's right," Matthew said in surprise.
"How?" Mabel cried.
"Growth spurt," Dipper said smugly.
Matthew gave Dipper a suspicious look, causing him to blush lightly and look away.
"Ah well, I'm still the alpha twin!" Mabel said,
"What?!" Dipper clenched his fists. "Well, I'm feeling another growth spurt, right about now!"
"That's not how growth spurts work, Dipper," Matthew said. "Meaning, you have something else up your sleeve."
"Uh…no I don't…" Dipper mumbled.
"I knew it!" Mabel said. "You have a wizard!"
"Huh? No!" Dipper said.
"So, if I go in the attic right now. I will not see a wizard?!" Mabel demanded.
"No," Dipper said rolling his eyes.
Mabel ran up the steps to the attic to check for the wizard while Matthew took Journal 3 from Dipper's vest.
"Hey!" Dipper cried indignantly as Matthew went to the bookmarked page at the same time, keeping the book out of reach form Dipper's grasp.
"Height altering crystals, aye?" Matthew smirked.
"Oh, come on! You guys were teasing me!" Dipper said.
Then they heard Mabel scream. The two brothers looked up to see Mabel staggering down the steps with a large hand.
"Whoa," Wendy said.
"Ha, ha! You really are and alpha twin!" Soos said.
"Dipper's creepy flashlight ruined my hand!" Mabel cried.
"It's okay," Dipper said grabbing the flashlight and shrinking Mabel's hand. "It can shrink stuff too."
Mabel sighed in relief before snatching the flashlight back and running outside, laughing loudly.
"Hey!" Dipper called running after his sister.
Matthew sighed and decided to follow before things got too messy.
He walked out only for the flashlight to fly over his head and pump into Gideon.
"What is this…?" He asked.
Mabel and Dipper ran up to their brother and gasped.
"It's okay, maybe he doesn't know this is a flashlight that can grow—." Matthew slapped a hand on Mabel's mouth.
Gideon scowled slightly before pointing the flashlight at himself, growing until he passed the trees.
"Ah, ha, ha, ha!" Gideon boomed in a loud voice.
"This, is why you don't play with magical flashlights!" Matthew barked angrily at his siblings who blushed.
Gideon reached down and plucked Matthew from the ground, the twins calling out his name in panic as he squirmed.
"Well, well, well! Not so tough now, are you, Pretty Boy?" Gideon boomed. Matthew's hands lit with flames, though Gideon pressed his large finger against his throat, causing him to choke and the flames disappear. "Learned the night you came between me and Mabel that you couldn't use your fancy powers with lack of oxygen!" Gideon laughed.
"Let him go!" Mabel called from far below.
"Ha! Certainly!" Gideon let Matthew go and he screamed from surprise.
"NO!" Dipper screamed and Gideon grabbed Matthew's jean jacket, Matthew realizing just how far up he was.
"This is interesting! Wonder what else I can do with this?" Gideon flicked the crystal and glowed the blue light on Matthew, causing him to shrink to the point where he could slip from Gideon's grasp…though the ground was much, much farther down.
Matthew screamed before he was once more caught by Gideon in the palm of his hand. "Ah! This is fun!" Gideon took a jar and slammed it over the teen, flipping it over quickly, Matthew tumbled to the bottom of the glass and cried out in pain. Gideon then screwed the lid shut and grinned, giggling like a little girl, before shrinking himself again, only to immediately be tackled by both twins.
Gideon cried out, the jar slipping from his hands. Matthew "oomph-ed!" and "ARGH-ED!" as the jar tumbled down in the lawn at top speed, Mathew gaining multiple bruises.
Finally, the jar crashed against a tree and everything went black.
…C-I-P-H-E-R…
