OOH OOOH, OOH OOOH!

Llamanic "DIPPER" PINES. SIXTEEN. TWIN. SOPHOMORE. Oh, uh... hey! My name is Dipper Pines and the world you see and know isn't entirely what you think it is. And by that I mean the world is boring and mundane and not as exciting as I used to think it was. I live in Middletown with my twin sister Mabel (the girl who most likely has trails of glitter following her everywhere), and our Great Uncle Stan.

Daphne didn’t mean to worry the guy. The girl drew in a deep breath and sighed,”I’m sure she’ll be fine.” She scratched her head softly and smiled slightly,”I mean, I’m sure anyone would go frantic if someone they weren’t related to touched their stuff. A pig? Your sister has a pig?”

“We can change the subject, if it’s upsetting to you?” She suggested with a soft smile.

[mysteryshackdipper]

“Yeah, it’s a long story. His name is Waddles. Sadly, she can’t keep him here so he lives at our Great Uncle Stan’s place,” Dipper was really glad that his sister had her pet pig because even when she was upset with him, she almost never got upset with Waddles. Well, there was that one time he chewed on one of her favorite sweaters until there was a hole but it wasn’t too much of a hiccup to Mabel. He sort of admired that nothing got to him. 

“Nah, it’s fine. I mean, we can keep talking about the fact that my sister has a pig? Or, uh..” The teenager tried to think of a new topic. What was with pretty red heads and talking to them and it being really difficult? “Pets in general! Do you have any pets?” Clearly the master of conversation.

“You’re the one who interacted with people first saying I ate toothpaste!! I didn’t do anything wrong. You’re the one who made me sound like some freak first.” Mabel’s lower lip quivered as she stared at her twin brother. “I’m not going to die. I’ve been eating it for four years, Dipper. Four. Probably even longer.” she crossed her arms over her chest protectively for a moment. “See! You are embarrassed!! You want to be cool, and I just want to do the stuff we used to do.”

“How could you suddenly just stop believing!? Even Grunkle Stan knows something is here!”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“Sorry! Mabel we’ve been here for like two years now, this isn’t home. We just need to get used to it. All the stuff we used to do isn’t the same here because there is nothing in Maryland that is even remotely interesting.” Dipper licked his lip and then started to chew on it. A nervous habit. At least he had kicked the habit of chewing on his shirt. Though, he did start up doing it when he was studying too much.

“He’s wrong. We spent awhile looking and now it’s time to realize that everything we thought was weird was probably just up to our imagination. Mabel, please, just trust me on this. We could go to the movies or something. Normal teenage adventures, okay? Who says we can’t do this stuff instead.”

[bloodlincsrp-blog]

“No no, I told her a story… Well sort of.. About my older sister who once had to have her stomach pumped because she ate a whole tube of that stuff. So hopefully that helped a little bit.” She smiled softly at the male in front of her,”I think if she weren’t will us anymore then she’d be okay with you handling that kind of stuff. I mean, more than she would if someone else were to touch her things right?”

[mysteryshackdipper]

Dipper faked a smile at the red head’s story and nodded slowly. “I sure hope so. I don’t want her to get her stomach pumped or anything like that,” Dipper admitted, but Daphne had a point about the whole if Mabel was dead, she’d trust Dipper over anyone else to take care of her things. He actually smiled this time and laughed quietly, “I guess you’re right. Mabel would go frantic if someone tried to take her stuff that wasn’t me. Gosh, I don’t think she’d trust anyone with Waddles either. Not that.. I know anything about taking care of a pig, but I’d learn.” 

There was a pause before he looked back up and shook his head. “Quite melancholy to talk about my sister’s death. At least maybe you spooked her enough to stop.”

[dangerpronexdaph-deactivated201]

She gave him a smile and nodded. “A support group would be interesting, but at times possibly needed.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“Weeeee could always make one, huh? It’s be really interesting. Probably also helpful. Sometimes I don’t know how to deal with her and she’s my twin. But I guess that’s all apart of growing up. I think we definitely need to make that support group a thing, ASAP.” Dipper laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of his neck in thought. Who knew having a twin sister would be this complicated growing up? Things were definitely easier when they weren’t teenagers. “Clubs are a fun thing to busy time anyhow, right? We could completely petition it.”

[mccarthycommamadison]

Mabel’s eyes widened as she heard him say that he didn’t want to drink the juice or go on an adventure. She brushed some brown hair behind her ear before fixing her headband properly. “Why not? We used to go on adventures all the time, Dipper. There’s so much stuff to explore, we just have to look in the journal!” she reached into her bag to go and grab the book before his next words stopped her. 

“Are you really that embarrassed? I need toothpaste. I finally got my braces off and I need to keep my teeth clean; eating it or not.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“I’m not embarrassed, I just don’t want you dying! That’s important to me Mabel. And you’re right, we used to. But we’re in high school now and we’re far from home. There’s no more adventures using our overactive imaginations, you know? We gotta blend and be cool. I’m just saying, maybe you could stop eating the entire tube. I don’t want to have to tell Great Uncle Stan that my sister died thanks to toothpaste poisoning!” Dipper commented a bit more harshly than he had meant before adjusting his hat to be taken off so he could run his hands through his locks of hair. Part of him wanted to take the journal back from Mabel, mainly because she didn’t need to be focusing on that. Neither of them did. 

“You’re right, you don’t have braces anymore, Mabel. We should focus on blending in. We’re sixteen! And we’ve been sixteen for awhile now.”

[mccarthycommamadison]

“Do not be dissing my ‘Mabel Juice’ Dipdip. It’s the best invention ever and you should still drink some. Think of how many adventures we could go on if you just drink some with me!” Mabel gave him one of her big grins, gripping his arm with her two hands and bouncing a bit. “Please please please pleaaase.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“I am not ingesting anything that has plastic dinosaurs in it, Mabel Pines, and that is that,” Dipper warned his sister though he didn’t mean it as snappy as it might have come off, crossing his arms as his sister started going on about adventures. He wasn’t really sure what type of adventure she wanted to go on, but he figured that she meant crazy adventures if they were going to be tripping on the gallons of glitter Mabel put in her body daily. 

“I’m gonna pass. Adventures around here, even if laced with Mabel juice, sounds really...” Dipper searched for a word before he shrugged a bit awkwardly. “They don’t sound as fun.” As fun as what? The twin shook his head and laughed a bit. “Come on, we should probably go to your room to make sure that I take away all the sparkle crest toothpaste.”

[dangerpronexdaph-deactivated201]

“I agree. I don’t think I’d like to know what Anna thinks.” Of course, that was for other reasons. Things were better off as they were. 

[mysteryshackdipper]

“Sisters, am I right? ” Dipper joked, trying to make the other girl beside him smile. “But hey, she can do whatever she wants. So can my sister, even if we don’t like it and no matter how much we wish we could change it, we can’t.”

“There should be some sort of ‘sister support group’ on campus.”

[vaughn--nott]

“I don’t know, do they? It’s not like I read those things. But, if you’re like super worried about her then you should show her the things that say not to.”

“That makes sense, it wouldn’t be your puke so you shouldn’t have to clean it up.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“I mean, showing her and Mabel actually doing it? Totally two separate things, man. My sister has a mind of her own and honestly? I think she’s sort of under the whole ‘I’ll do whatever I want’ thing, as long as it doesn’t kill her.”

“My parents beg to differ with that.”

[mccarthycommamadison]

Mabel sighed dramatically at her younger brother and lifted up his hat to ruffle his hair a little bit. “You would absolutely feel bad for me! Why would you say that you wouldn’t? That’s just cruel. I won’t get sick, my stomach is probably so immune to it by now.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“Hey!” Dipper swatted his twin sister’s hand away before laughing at her. Mabel was great, he was so glad he had his sister, especially in this boring state. Snatching his hat back, he hid his mess of hair underneath it and ‘tsk’d at her. “You do drink ‘Mabel juice’ -- contents truly unknown to the outside world though I do suspect high amounts of glitter and potential plastic dinosaurs-- almost every day so I suppose if you haven’t died yet, you might be fine.”

[dangerpronexdaph-deactivated201]

Elsa nodded. “I understand how sisters can be. Sometimes I don’t know what goes on in Anna’s mind.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“But it’s like, do we really want to find out what happens in our sister’s minds? I think that’s better left untold. Who knows, right? There are so many things Mabel does that I don’t even want to question anymore.”

[imhollyhood]

[bloodlincsrp-blog]

“I tried to talk to her as well. I mean, some people just won’t listen. We’ll see though. I’m sorry for your concerns though. I hope she comes to her senses.” 

[mysteryshackdipper]

“I just don’t want a dead twin sister, then I’d have to take care of her belongings and I don’t think she’d trust me with her supplies of collectible stickers, honestly.”

“Dipping-sauce! I’ve been doing it for years and I’ve never had a single problem in my whole entire life. You need to have more faith in me, okay? I know what I’m doing.” A little glare was cast at her brother, but she still bumped her hip against his because she couldn’t be entirely annoyed with him.

[mysteryshackdipper]

His older sister had a point, that was for sure. She hadn’t died yet, but it still wasn’t healthy. Dipper knew that for a fact. “There’s probably things in that toothpaste that shouldn’t be eaten in a large quantity, Mabel! If you fall over and get sick, I’m not feeling bad for you in the slightest. No pity! At all, whatsoever,” the twin stated in a matter-of-fact way. He just didn’t want his sister dying due to the fact that she liked sparkley things!

[mccarthycommamadison]

Pouting at Dipper, Mabel let out a sigh. “Now I had to defend myself in front of everyone.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

Nudging his sister with his shoulder, Dipper attempted to make her smile. Okay maybe he had screwed up just a little bit. He couldn’t help it! “Maybe this could be the way you learn not to eat entire tubes of toothpaste-- because seriously Mabel. That doesn’t lengthen your life span.”

[dangerpronexdaph-deactivated201]

“She really does that?” Elsa questioned. “Why would someone eat toothpaste?”

[mysteryshackdipper]

Laughing a bit awkwardly, Dipper shrugged at the blonde nonchalantly trying to act like he just didn’t make Mabel sound like a freak. On complete accident, of course. “You should ask her. No one could ever get into Mabel’s mind to understand why she does the things she does. Sixteen years and I still don’t understand, but that’s one mystery I would never attempt to solve.”

[vaughn--nott]

“Well does the tube of toothpaste say not to eat it? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure that she should be totally fine. And anyway, people eat toothpaste all the time when they are brushing their teeth.”

[mysteryshackdipper]

“I mean... doesn’t all toothpaste say not to consume large quantities. She could get hurt, or worse, have unnaturally fresh breath for the rest of her life. It’ll just be really bad.”

“If she throws up randomly in a hall, though? Don’t blame me. And I won’t be cleaning it up either.”
