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

We start pulling whatever materials we could find to invent whatever came to mind which was a jet pack which we later gave to Grenda who flew off to look at cute boys. We were working on another invention and I went to get a few tools in our room where I find Mabel doing her morning show. "Welcome to May May and The Hogg A.M. Top story today: Coping with crippling loneliness after losing my co-host," She presses a button on her keyboard for a sound effect.

I knock on the door and enter. "Mabel, you ok?" She gives me a frown before grabbing a picture frame of her and Waddles celebrating what she thought was his birthday. "What did that nasty goop do to him? He's not happier like this...Is he?" She asks me and I sit down next to her. "I can't answer that but I can see that you aren't happy with this. Mabel, I don't like seeing you sad and if you want Waddles back you're gonna need to speak up before it's too late," Before she could respond we feel the shack shake and I ask "What are they doing?"

Mabel's p.o.v.

We go downstairs  to find a huge machine outside and we walk over as I ask "What the heck is going on here?" "Mabel, (y/n), you are just in time to behold our greatest achievement: The Smarticle Exelarator," He drives into the huge helmet as Dipper explains. "Solving that brain puzzle was just the tip of the iceberg. With this, Waddles will be able to solve all the greatest puzzles of the universe!" "The origin of life, the meaning of existence, why dudes have nipples." "Soon your pig is gonna be world-famous. Meeting with scientists, presidents. I wonder if I can teach him to wear pants?" 

My heart shatters at the news as I walk up to Waddles and ask "The whole world? But when will you have time for us? I'm your best friend," I argue, falling to my knees and a robotic hand starts petting me in comfort as Waddles tells me "I'm still your friend Mabel but I'm helping people now." 

"But what about helping me? Do you really want to spend your whole life in meetings with dumb smart guys? This brain junk has made you forget who you are! Don't you remember us?" I pull out the photo of us celebrating his birthday and he falls silent as if he were thinking. "It all makes sens now. What good is helping the world if I can't help my favorite person in the world? It's a good thing I built in a dumb-dumb switch," He pulls a lever which starts to erase the intelligence he had, my brother trying to argue with him. "Waddles don't!" "I'm sorry Dipper, in my last eight seconds of consciousness I want you to know that science is a horizon to search for not a prize to hold in your hand also I miss getting my tummy tickled."

With that Waddles runs into my arms and the machine falls apart. "No! Our invention!" "I know what'll make you feel better. A simple hug from a simple pig," I say offering Waddles. "Yeah...Guess so," He hugs Waddles and (y/n) joins in, earning them kisses from the adorable pig.
