Through The Triplet's Eye: A Gravity Falls Fanfiction

Switching, Switching and More Switching

Time Skip
After helping the twins with their chores purely out of pity, I follow Dipper into the formerly secret room. I flop down on the couch, too exhausted to do anything else.

"All these chores will be worth it when I get this room. Shag carpeting? Come on!" Dipper takes his shoes off and rubs his socks against the carpet, generating electrostatic charges.

"Dipper, you might not want to do that, you're generating electrostatic charges," I warn him beforehand, the charges already surging through his body, though if he was hurting, he was doing a second to none job of hiding it.

Dipper waves my concerns away casually. "Don't worry about it."

Mabel enters the room abruptly, gloating about what she had done for Stan earlier, "Hey brother. Don't get too comfortable. I just made Stan an omelette shaped like his own face." The twins step onto the carpet and prowl around the carpet aggressively, looking ready to deliver fatal blows to each other just for their own benefit.

"Face it. I'm like a suck-up ninja. This room's as good as mine. You might as well give up now. What do you say?" Mabel taunts. At this point, I remember what had happened in the show.

"I say I'm gonna win this room somehow, and when I do I'll finally have my own space..." Dipper pauses briefly.

"Dipper, don't touch her hand!" I shout, instantly getting up and rushing to them in horror but it was too little too late as, within seconds, Dipper managed to close the space in between him and Mabel. "And we'll never have to share anything ever again!" Dipper backhands Mabel's hand with his. I stand in between them, pushing Dipper away from Mabel the instant his hand meets Mabel's, feeling a strange sensation pulsating through me.

A great flash of white light later, we all regain consciousness. I rub my bleary eyes and shoot a hasty glance downwards, surprised to glimpse a flurry of pink.

'Why does my mouth taste like toothpaste? And why do I feel so happy?' It was then that I realised that I was in Mabel's body.

The twins themselves were beginning to stir as well, rising up and inspecting their new appearances.

"Ugh...what happened?" I trace the question back to my body, the voice emanating from it having an awkward and anxious consistency to it. 'Dipper.'

"We switched bodies due to the large number of electrostatic charges that built up on both your bodies while you guys were walking on the carpet," I expound.

The familiar high-pitched voice I expected myself to hear sooner or later finally announces itself to us, emerging from Dipper's body. "Magnus, are you in my body?!"

I heave a sigh. "Yes, unfortunately."

"Wait!" Dipper shrieked, shooting a cursory glance at my shirt, feeling my body and breathing heavily as if to pantomime a panic attack. "Am I in your body, Magnus?"

"Yes, you are. You better take good care of it," I warn, telling him sternly.

"Wait, that means," she gasps in horror, her hands travelling to her head to confirm her suspicions and the unease she was feeling earlier had now fully uncoiled within, using her as a vessel to express itself. "I'm in Dipper's body!"

Dipper and Mabel both scream in unison after they finally come to terms with what has happened. They run around like headless chickens, creating a state of disarray and havoc in the room.

"Calm down, both of you!" I shout at them firmly. Thankfully, both of them come to a standstill, their bodies and eyes now facing me.

"Right, first of all, both of you need to calm down. Take deep breaths," I demonstrate, gesturing for them to follow and giving them a few seconds to cool off.
