Chapter Thirty-Two: Give Your Heart a Break

"Yeesh, what happened to you kids?" Stan demanded as the trio walked in.

"Gideon," they all groaned.

"Gideon," Stan growled. "I hope that kid gets what's coming to him."

Oh, he will…Matthew thought with a sinister smirk.

They all sighed as they sat on the floor, turning on the TV.

Then, the doorbell rang. Stan sighed. "Better get that."

Matthew got up too, just in case it was another Gideon scheme and he needed to burn his sorry butt to get him out of the way.

Stan opened the door and a cheerful looking man opened the door. "Congrats! You won MONEY FOR LIFE! Just sign here and you'll get it!"

Stan scoffed. "Like I'm falling for that—."

"Wait," Matthew said shoving past Stan. "You're serious dude?"

"Um…yes?" The man said.

"He's telling the truth," Matthew said.

"Really?" Stan asked in surprise.

Matthew nodded.

"My one and only dream—!"

"Yeah, yeah, we know," Matthew said.

"Now just, sign here," The man repeated.

"Ha! You bet!" Stan said gleefully signing his name.

"We're rich!" Dipper said from behind them.

"FOR REAL THIS TIME!" Mabel added happily.

"We're having celebrating tonight!" Stan said.

"Party! Party! Party!" Dipper and Mabel chanted, Matthew putting them on his shoulder and chanting with them.

"Best day of my life!" Stan cheered.

…C-I-P-H-E-R…

"C'mon dudes, p-p-party!" Soos said as he played an upbeat techno song.

"Dipper Pines?" A girl said.

Dipper choked on his drink. "What? Oh, yeah! Dipper he's my friend I-I mean—!"

The girl blinked twice and walked off, giving him a weird look.

Dipper moaned.

"Heyyyyy Dipper!" Mabel said cheerfully, walking with Candy and Grenda. "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing, just embarrassing myself," Dipper sighed.

"You just need practice!" Candy said cheerfully.

"Yeah, like your totally hot brother!" Grenda said. "Yo, Matthew! Do you wanna like, take your shirt off for me?!"

"Not happening!" Matthew called back from the snack table.

"Next time them!" Grenda said, undeterred.

"Still not happening!"

"Ah, cutie, anyway, I'm off to go talk to that other hot guy over there!" Grenda said pointing at a boy.

"Ah! Wait up!" Mabel exclaimed, as the three girls giggled hysterically.

Dipper sighed and blinked in surprise when he saw that his brother was no longer at the snackable and instead talking with a bunch of fawning girls, telling an exaggerated tale of the Ice Dragon.

"…so, my ribs were broken, and it was like, hard to move," Matthew said. "But I had to move, since my siblings were in danger, and, nobody touches my little siblings."

The girls awed.

"So, what'd you do?" A girl with blue hair asked.

"I shot it down with a mini gun that I made appear out of nowhere…oh, that was before I threw my shirt off and showed off my abs. I've been working out quite a bit. Care for a demonstration?" Matthew smirked.

The girls squealed in response.

"I take that as a yes," Matthew said in a sing-song voice.

Dipper scoffed and rolled his eyes as the girls quickly pulled out their phones in unison.

"Yo, Matthew!" Stan said walking towards the blonde. "There's a reporter here and she wants to talk to you!"

"Later ladies," Matthew said with a wink, following Stan.

Dipper huffed when one of the girls blushed furiously and fanned herself with her hand.

"Wow, you're brother sure has a way with the ladies," a familiar voice said.

Dipper turned and blinked twice in surprise. "Pacifica! And—your parents?"

"We make it our business to chat with people who have joined us in the light," Preston Northwest said.

"The light?" Dipper repeated.

"Yes the—ah! Stanford Pines!"

Stan stopped devouring nachos to look up at the Northwests. "Eh?"

"Come for a chat, will you?" Pricilla Northwest suggested.

"Um…sure?" Stan said as the Northwests led him away.

Dipper looked back at Matthew who was talking to Sandra Hermenez, then at his fangirls who were whispering about the best ways to have the teen's heart.

"What's his secret?" Dipper demanded. "Why is he so charming and—and hot around girls when I can barely say a proper sentence?"

"Hey, I'm a girl, you talk fine around me," Pacifica pointed out.

"To be honest…for some reason you're the only one other than Mabel," Dipper mused.

Pacifica smiled and gasped. "Oh! I almost forgot." She took out what looked like a creature from her purse and held it out, the creature uncurled itself and yawned.

"Is that…is that a baby dragon?" Dipper asked in wonder.

"I don't know," Pacifica shrugged. "I just found it, figured you'd know so I brought it."

"This is amazing! Come on!" Dipper grabbed Pacifica's arm and pulled her towards the attic, the boy's touch making Pacifica smile for an odd reason.

…C-I-P-H-E-R…

"Matthew Pines, you were once feared by the whole town, how did that make you feel?" Sandra asked Matthew.

"To be honest, it didn't affect me much, I had my siblings so…" Matthew shrugged.

"And how does it feel now to be a local hero and the nephew of a now rich uncle?"

"To be honest? Awesome! I have all these fans now!"

"We love you Matthew!" a girl from the party screamed.

"I love you too!" Matthew called back, grinning at the squeals and soaking it up.

"Would you mind telling us the story of how you bravely defeated the dragon?" Sandra asked.

Matthew told the exaggerated version of the story once more, gaining a crowd of people.

"Woo! Go Matthew!" Mabel cheered along with the rest of the crowd.

"Hey, Mabel," Wendy said as she pushed through the crowd next to the brunette.

"Hey, Wendy!" Mabel replied.

"Wow, somebody's popular," Wendy chuckled.

"Yeah, totally!" Lee laughed from nearby. "I'd die to be in his shoes."

"…but to be honest I couldn't've done any of this, without my amazing siblings, Dipper and Mabel. It's because of them I do all these awesome things."

Mabel looked up and smiled, stars in her eyes, just as Dipper came down with Pacifica, just in time to hear those words, he too smiled.

"Come here," Matthew smiled and kneeled, opening his arms. Mabel grinned and barrelled into her brother's arms, Dipper a bit slower. Matthew hugged them tight to his chest and smiled, barely noticing the "awe-s!" that went around the room.

He then pulled away and stood up with a smile. "They mean more to me than anything or anyone else in the world."

Mabel grinned and wiped away tears while Dipper blushed furiously as there were more awes.

Wendy smiled. He'd be and awesome Dad. Her eyes then widened. What the hack did I just think?!

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Penelope shove past her, in front of the cameras were the twins and Matthew were standing.

"What are you…?" Wendy began to ask. Penelope just sneered at her before wrapping and arm around Matthew's waist.

Matthew frowned. "Penelope?" He murmured as the girl's grey eyes glittered with mischief.

"W-what are—?"

Before he could say another word, Penelope pressed her lips against Matthew's. The blonde's eyes widened, and after a second of surprise, he felt himself kissing back, closing his eye and hugging her close to his chest.

Dipper smiled at his brother finally having a kiss (and that it wasn't with Wendy). He quickly found himself whooping and clapping with the rest of the crowd.

"Ah ha! Go, Matthew, you ladies' man!" Stan laughed.

Dipper turned to Mabel who was not smiling, but frowning.

When Dipper turned from the camera men and Matthew who was still smooching, he saw Wendy. Dipper had never seen her look so sad and heartbroken. Before he could say anything the red-head has pushed through the crowd and left.

"Wendy!" Dipper called, running after the teen. "Wendy? Wendy!"

He saw her climb the ladder to the roof, and the boy followed.

"Wendy?" Dipper frowned when he saw Wendy hugging her knees and weeping softly.

"Wendy, hey, you okay?" Dipper sat beside his friend.

"No," Wendy sniffed and turned to Dipper with an angry look, her eyes red and puffy. "No, no, I'm not okay!"

Dipper flinched and Wendy's shoulders slumped. "I'm sorry. I…"

"Was it Penelope?" Dipper asked quietly.

"Partly, she's such an—ugh!" Wendy clenched her fists. "But it's more Matthew…"

"Yeah, you're in love with him, right?" Dipper asked quietly.

"On our date…" Wendy whispered. "When we kissed—I thought—I thought we could maybe move past just being friends," Wendy wiped a tear from her eye. "Guess I was wrong."

"Wait, wait, wait WHAT?! You kissed?!" Dipper demanded hysterically.

"Um, yeah."

"And he never told me?!"

"This is probably why," Wendy stated.

"Yeah, but, but, but…"

"I can't really blame him for choosing Penelope," Wendy continued. "She's a total beauty queen."

"There is no way in hell Penelope Evergreen is prettier than you!" Dipper said. "Matthew's crazy for not choosing you; I'd do almost anything to be your guy!"

Wendy smiled up at Dipper just as he clamped a hand over his mouth. "I-I didn't mean…"

"It's cool, I kind of knew," Wendy shrugged.

"What?"

"You think I couldn't hear your mumbling?"

Dipper face palmed. Matthew had told him that would happen.

Matthew. Dipper clenched his fists. He was going to have a word with his dear brother.

"I'm flattered but…I'm too old for you, Dipper, you knew that, right?" Wendy rose an eyebrow.

"Kind of," Dipper mumbled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure a lucky girl is just waiting to be yours."

"I don't think I can drop my crush that easily though…" Dipper mumbled slowly.

"It'll fade, and you don't have to worry about your brother and me…that doesn't seem like it's going to happen" Wendy sighed, just as the trap door opened and Matthew climbed up, followed by Penelope.

"Well this is charming!" Penelope said with a smile.

"Yeah," Matthew said. "Charming." Dipper could have sworn he saw his brother's eye flicker with a pink heart, but it was probably his imagination.

The two then turned to Wendy and Dipper.

"Oops," Matthew said. "Looks like this is occupied. How about a dance instead?" Penelope giggled and the two of them went down the ladder.

Dipper turned back to Wendy whose face was a perfect portrayal of heartbreak.

He could almost hear her heart shatter into a million pieces.

…C-I-P-H-E-R…

Dipper left Wendy alone on the roof at her request, before rejoining the party.

"Hey, where'd you go?" Pacifica asked him.

"Oh, on the roof," Dipper replied casually.

"Guys!" Mabel exclaimed, running towards the two.

"Oh, hey Mabel," Pacifica said with a tiny smile.

"Hey, Pacifica," Mabel said quickly. "Something's wrong with Matt!"

"What do you mean?" Dipper asked, Mabel now having his full attention.

"I think he's under some sort of love curse!" Mabel explained.

"Love curse?" Pacifica asked.

"Yeah—what's that?" Mabel asked as a creature crawled around Pacifica's neck.

"It's a baby dragon, I checked," Dipper said cheerfully.

"I named her Rose, apparently, she's female," Pacifica added.

"Anyway, love curse, what makes you think he's on a love curse?" Dipper said, getting back to business.

"Because Matthew loves Wendy! They shared their first kiss together and everything! Don't you see the way he looks at her?" Mabel said.

"But…feelings change, Mabel," Dipper said.

"But that's not all the proof, Dipper. His eye, did you see his eye?"

Dipper turned to his brother who was busy feeding Penelope brownies. Mabel was right, his eye had a far away look in it.

There was something not right here.

"So, if he's under a love curse…his Penelope Evergreen responsible?" Pacifica asked.

"She has to be, she's been after Matthew for a long time now," Mabel said.

"So…maybe she's a witch?" Dipper guessed.

"Or a sorceress?" Mabel said.

"A succubus?" Pacifica said.

"Wait, what'd you say?" Dipper turned to Pacifica.

"A succubus?"

Dipper took his journal from his vest and flipped through the pages. "'A Succubus, like many supernatural creatures, can shapeshift into beautiful woman at will,'" Dipper read out loud. "'They're a race of demons who specialize in seduction and the only known species of races to be able to…procreate without a mate?'"

"Ew," Mabel and Pacifica said as Dipper shuddered. "Did not need to know that," he said.

"How would we know she's a succubus though?" Pacifica asked.

"'Most demons show their true nature when they show strong emotions, love, anger, annoyance, etc.'" Dipper said flipping the pages more as he continued to read.

"So, we just annoy her enough and she'll show her true form?" Pacifica asked.

"My time has come," Mabel said in mock seriousness.

…C-I-P-H-E-R…

"You girls really need to hear the story again?" Matthew asked.

"Um, yes?" A girl said.

"C'mon, Mattie Sweetie!" Penelope said with a smile, sitting on Matthew's lap.

"Okay!" Matthew said with a smirk. "So, there I was—."

"Hey guys!" Mabel said loudly.

Penelope yelped, almost falling off Matthew's lap, though he caught her. "Whoops," he said with a grin.

His personalities the same but he really isn't here…I can see it in his eye. Mabel thought with a frown.

"Anyway!" Mabel continued loudly. "Do you want to hear the story of how I got this wound?!" Mabel lifted her leg up and pointed at her Band-Aid.

The girls groaned in disgust.

"Um, Mabes, not now—."

"Doo, doo, doo, DOW!" Mabel said pulling the band-aid back and showing off the half-dried scab.

"Could you maybe…leave?" Penelope asked with a forced smile.

"Nope!"

"Mabel, please—."

Penelope's eye twitched. She obviously had a short fuse, that was good.

Mabel made a weird signal with her hands and Pacifica came forward.

"Heyyyyy, enjoying the party?" Pacifica asked with a smile.

"I would enjoy it much more if you two would leave."

"Just so you know, my dragon is lost, so if you see her…oh! There she is!" Pacifica pointed at Rose who was crawling up Penelope's leg.

The fan-girls and Penelope shrieked. The raven-haired girl getting up and shaking her leg.

"Get it off, get it off, get it off, GET IF OFF!" Penelope screamed, crashing into Wendy who had come down the ladder, causing her to stagger into the snack table.

She screamed as nachos and punch fell all over her dress, Matthew going to help her while everyone else laughed.

"Nice work ladies," Dipper said.

"Thanks, dip-dop!" Mabel chirped.

"That was better than I hoped, I had fun," Pacifica said with light laugh. Dipper thought her laughter was quite cute.

And he couldn't believe he just thought that.

"Penelope? Are you—?" Mathew began.

"You, insipid little brats!" Penelope screeched, her eyes glowing red. Everybody gasped and backed up as she grew bat wings and horns, a tail appearing from behind her back.

"Yup," Dipper said. "She's a succubus."

…C-I-P-H-E-R…
