Summer with the Pine Twins

The Time Traveler's Pig: Part 5

Dipper's p.o.v.

I continue to mutter to myself as I continue my calculations on the popcorn stand with a marker. "Face it Dipper, you're obviously fated to have a bad day at the fair. Just like I'm fated to be with Waddles," My sister tells me and I respond with "It's like there's one missing variable..." I draw an equal sign and Mabel's head pops above it asking "What's a variable?" My eyes widen as an idea pops into my head. "That's it! I figured out how to win the toss, not hit Wendy, and stop Robbie and Wendy from going out!"

(y/n) sighs as she gets up and starts to walk away. "Where are you going? I need your help!" I say and she gives me a look before stating. "No, I'm not helping, I'm tired of all this time travel over something trivial, it's not that big of a deal if those two are together and I'm not gonna help you mess with time more than you already have!" She storms off and I blink in confusion, what's gotten into her? "I'm gonna go win my pig again."

Mabel says as she starts to walk off and I grab her arm. "Woah, woah, woah, woah! You can't leave I need you for my plan since (y/n) won't help." "But what about Waddles?" "It'll just take a few minutes, let's go!" I drag her off and explain the plan. Back at the stand with Wendy, I blow on the ball before licking my finger and pointing up to find which way the wind was going. I look up to see a flag is flying to the left when Wendy asks:

"You gonna go, man?" I count to three and fling the ball up. "Aw dude, you missed," She says and I point at the ball asking "Did I?" We watch as it rolls down the tent, hits the sign for the pretzels as it flies toward the Mystery Shack before flying up and hitting the target to Dunkle the Grunkle and we dodge out of the way as it hits the three bottles and shoots upward.

"Your stuffed creature of indeterminate species miss," The carnie hands Wendy the stuffed animal and she hugs it as I take off my cap, and the baseball lands in it. "Oh, there you are Wendy," Robbie walks up. "Oh hey, Robbie." "So I was wondering if you uh would like uh-" He starts to say before Wendy cuts him off, showing off the stuffed animal. "Look what Dipper got for me!" He glares at me before lifting his hood up. "Psh, whatever, you can't even tell what species it is...It's stupid..."

He trails off before walking off Wendy soon asking "What's his deal? Psh looks like I came to the fair with the right guy," I throw my fists in the air in victory a bell sound ringing off as I give Mabel a thumbs-up and she walks off to go get her pig. "Anytime brosiff," Wendy points at the Tunnel of Love and Corndog ride and we get on and ride it twice before Wendy runs off for funnel cake when I hear someone...Screaming?

Mabel's p.o.v.

"Now to win my pig," I turn around and walk to the Win a Pig stand when I stop in my tracks and my jaw drops as I watch the old guy give Waddles to Pacifica. Pacifica! I gasp when I hear him say "It's all yours, no one else's. Old fifteen poundy, your's forever." This can't be happening I start to scream as I race to find Dipper.

(y/n)'s p.o.v.

I was walking through the fair grumbling about how the twins were being unfair, they were obsessed with Waddles and Wendy without taking into consideration how those two felt or how they were making me feel.

I know that might sound a bit selfish but they did promise to hang out with me today and then it all became about time travel to win Waddles or win Wendy's heart. Suddenly I hear Mabel screaming and I turn around to see her running somewhere screaming and I follow her in worry, what happened? We run to the Tunnel of Love and Corndogs where we find Dipper looking around for the source of the screaming. We run up and she starts screaming in her brother's face. "What's wro-" She screams some more.

"Mabel what's-" Another scream. "I'll just wait until you're done." "I'm done," Nodding Dipper finally asks what we were both wondering. "Ok, what is wrong?" "We messed up the timeline! Pacifica saw the flyer and won Waddles before I did! She took Waddles you two!" I wince, oh boy even if it was just a couple hours Mabel had fallen in love with Waddles, (same but with birds) I look at Dipper wondering what he was gonna do. "Oh, Mabel I'm sorry." "It's ok we just need to go back and do things different."

She grabs the time machine and I sigh, not more time travel...He grabs the time machine back. "Mabel wait! I did the math, in any other timeline Wendy ends up going with Robbie, I can't mess this day up again!"

"But if we don't go then I'll lose Waddles forever!" She jumps at Dipper and I step back as the two starts to fight over the time machine. Suddenly they both fall to the floor and the time machine flips into one of the corndogs as the measurer stretches out. Oh no. "Let it go!" I shout as I grab the twins when the tape measurer comes back and we disappear with a flash, landing on solid ground. Ow. We get up and dust ourselves off as Dipper asks "When are we?" "The real question is when are we? Oh, wait you already..." "Yeah, I already." "That's all fine and dandy but I still wanna know when and where we are," I cut the two off bringing them back to the situation at hand.

"Do you hear that?" Dipper asks and we turn around to see a stam peed of bull coming straight for us. Screaming we start to run in the opposite direction when we fell off a cliff and through cloth, landing in a carriage. "Be on the lookout for mountain lions travelers!" "Dysentery! Who wants dysentery!" "Forge ahead mighty oxen for a new life awaits us on this Oregon Trail!" We hear the travelers say, Dipper and I realized when and where we were. "Where are we? The 70s?" Mabel aks in fright. "Mabel! You sent us back a hundred and fifteen years genius! It's pioneer times!"

"We're on the Oregon Trail which was full of trying times, it's not really a good place for us to be," I chime in, remembering the history lesson in school about how bad it would get. "By Trembley! Furtilia! It seems you've given birth to three more children," We hear the carriage driver say and we turn around to face the mother and her six kids.

"It appears I have, more little hands to Rendall the tallow." "Tallow? What?" Mabel asks with a nervous smile when one of the kids points at her. "Her mouth is filled with silver mother." "These are called braces," She informs him and I jab Dipper to do something and he whispers to her "Mabel we can't start messing with the past!" "Oh says the guy who messed with the past all day and cost me my pig? I'll mess with whatever I want," She pulls out a calculator, where did she even get that? "Check it out a magic button machine, shoes that blink," She turns the light on her shoes on sd I grab the calculator away from the boy and hand it to Dipper.

"Hey sister, guess who gets to vote in the future? Ladies! Up top!" She high-fives the settler. "That's called a high-five, teach it to your friends," I pull Mabel away and Dipper grabs the time machine. "Give me that! I'm gonna set the timeline right!" "No!" She shouts as we grab hold of Dipper and once again disappear. We open our eyes to see a T-Rex and scream ad it lunges down to eat us.

I grab the time machine and send us forward. We let out a sigh of relief when the ground next to us was shot at. We look around to see the future, it looked like World War III was happening when a giant floating baby head came and started shooting everything. "This future seems neat," Mabel exclaims when Dipper grabs the machine and we go back to fishing season.

Author: For being patient with me about no chapter almost every day here is a photo of Birdman (His name is Comet for those who haven't "met" him,) eating some papaya on my working chair:

For those who are curious, he's nicknamed Birdman because one he likes to hang upside down like a bat, and two whenever he can he looks for what we like to call Birdman caves to hide in.
