Through The Triplet's Eye: A Gravity Falls Fanfiction

Boyz Crazy

I was sitting beside the counter of the gift shop, reading today's edition of the Gravity Falls Gossiper. Meanwhile, Dipper and Wendy were voicing over the Mystery Shack's security tapes, with Dipper roleplaying the credulous and innocent tourist in the footage. "Do you have this T-shirt in my size?" 

Wendy, in a jocular mood, pantomimes Stan. "I have something even better! Behold: My butt!"

Both of them guffaw uproariously at her remark and I look up from my newspaper, flashing them a look of irritation, though they disregarded my look completely.  

"I could play this game forever," Dipper whispers 'softly', it definitely wasn't loud. I struggle to stifle the snigger rising up within me, eventually letting it surface and raising an eyebrow at his comment. Dipper notices the pleasure I was deriving at his expense, flushing and turning away from me in embarrassment. 'Thank goodness he can't scold me. If he did, he'd be attracting Wendy's attention. Oh, there she goes now.' 

Wendy stares at Dipper innocently. "What'd you say?"

"Coughing! I was coughing! Those weren't words!" Dipper splitters, coughing into his fist. 

I snort loudly, not even bothering to try to hide what I was feeling. Don't ask me how but I could already sense Dipper's searing glare from where I was, not even needing to spare so much as a glance at him.

I see a whirl and flurry of brown hair shoot up beside me, almost giving me a heart attack in the process. "This is fun, what you two have."

I place the newspaper on the counter, crossing my legs on the chair while I lurch forward, trying to ease my breathing back to its usual rate. "Mabel, when did you come here?" 

"Right as they were voicing over. You didn't notice me because you were reading an article on the person that got eaten by an antelope," Mabel shrugs nonchalantly.  

"Yeah, reading that article was painful and disgusting," I shudder unconsciously and involuntarily. 'I got goosebumps just thinking about how that event transpired.'

"Don't worry about that. Let's talk about why I'm doing this dance! Do-do-do-do-do..." Mabel starts dancing jubilantly, pattering the floor with the lightweight soles of her shoes.

Dipper throws his hand in front of both Wendy and me. "Oh, no! She got into the Smile Dip again!" 

"Wrong one-thousand! It's because today is the greatest day of my life!" Mabel flings a calendar at Dipper's face, the same calendar also happening to miss my face by mere inches.

"Ow!" Dipper yelps, glowering at his female twin with the calendar ironically still stuck on his face.

"Sev'ral Timez is playing at the Gravity Falls Civic Centre!" Mabel announces.

Dipper peels the calendar off his face, his eyes roving over the calendar intently, his eyes finally landing on today's date. "Ugh. Sev'ral Timez? Aren't they that boy band that came a decade too late?" 

Mabel spaces out mid-dance, imagining watching her favourite boy band perform live and posing for us with her arms crossed, making for quite a hilarious scene. She snaps back to attention, resuming her cavorting to our amusement. 

Dipper decides to burst Mabel's bubble. "Mabel, you know all those boy bands are fake, right?" 

Wendy nods in agreement. "Dipper's right. They're just a manufactured product of the bloated corporate music industry." 

"You're making my dance sad..." Mabel stops frisking around entirely, her smile turning upside down.

Dipper snorts. "There's probably a machine that mass-produces them."

"Oh ho, or maybe the boys are grown from pods," Wendy added, both of them chuckling loudly.

"I may not like boy bands," I cut in firmly, raising my voice to cease their laughter. "but I do respect your opinion on boy bands and will not judge you for liking them." 

"Both of you should respect her opinion too," I glare at both of them, who look away from me guiltily, their laughter as expected, ceasing completely as well.

"Thanks Magnus, but both of them can't ruin this for me. Mabel's got back up!" Mabel points at the door expectingly. Not even a second had wound and already, Grenda and Candy announced their appearance, flinging the door open to the gift shop with their Sev'ral Timez merchandise.

The three friends greet each other, chanting Sev'ral Timez several times 'See what I did there?' They eventually make their move, running away from us to a more isolated place. 

"Ugh. Girls," Dipper sighs.
