Summer with the Pine Twins: Summer's Coming to an End

Escape From Reality: Part 4

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

"No! Of course not, that's my brother and his girlfriend guys. There's gotta be another way," Mabel intervenes and her guard agrees. "Very well. If these two wish to stay, they must plead their case in the ultimate trial of fantasy vs. reality."

We're both dragged to a courthouse made entirely of yarn and Dipper, Mabel, and I are led to a table standing in front of a cat play stand as the rest of the courthouse fills up with Mabeland's residences. "Seriously Mabel? You're letting them take our argument to court?" Dipper asks and his sister shrugs. "Hey, I didn't make the rules of Mabeland," I deadpan at her as I correct her and point up at a tapestry. "Yes, you did. There's a tapestry of you making the rules," Our attention turns to the front of the room as Officer Giraffe speaks up.

"All rise for the honorably Judge Kitty Meow Wow Face Forshtien," A cat in a judge's wig comes out of the house area of the play stand and climbs to the top, slamming the squeaky gavel. "Order, order! This trial begins right meow," He starts playing with some string. "Ahem judge."

 "Sorry. We are here to try Dipper Pines and (y/n) (l/n) in the case of fantasy vs. Reality. If these two win Mabel will return with them to the real world but if they lose, both will be banished forever and be replaced with town darling Dippy Fresh:" The judge gestures to Dippy Fresh who was posing for everyone and the two of us grimace at him, he was so annoying. "I hate him. Sooo much..." Dipper says through grit teeth as he slams his fists on the table and I squeeze his hand lightly to calm him down. "The final decision will be made by your peers," Mabel claps and six other Mabel appear in the jury stand and Dipper turns to his sister.

"Look Mabel, this whole thing is ridiculous but if winning a trial is what it takes to get you to come home with us then so be it." "I'm sorry Dipper but I can only speak through my legal team now," She gestures towards Xyler and Crais who had just walked in wearing suits with the sleeves ripped off.

"We have a doctorate degree in hunkiness. Also in criminal and international law." "Let's hear opening statements." "Your honor, townsfolk, lovely ladies of the jury our case is simple. These very unrighteous dudes say that reality is better than fantasy. But reality is bogus, lame, and whack!"

I stand up and yell "OBJECTION! Your honor that is conjecture!" "Overruled," I slump back into my chair with a look of disbelief as Crais speaks up. "I'd like to show you this reality that Dipper and (y/n) love so much and show you how it has wronged our client, her brother, and (y/n) their entire lives. Exhibit A: Mabel's memories!" He pulls out a pink book labeled Mabel's memories and the world around us changes to the memory Crais says. "Second grade, October tenth." "Photo Day..." I hear Dipper mutter in unease and whisper "Dipper...?" He gestures behind us and I see Eggbert Elementary School, kids lined up to take their photos.

Two kids at the front of the line instantly grabbed my attention: Dipper and Mabel. Mabel was in a purple sequenced skirt, a pink shirt with a rainbow on it, pink sneakers, her hair in pigtails and she was currently putting a bunch of slap bracelets on her arms. Dipper sat next to her in jeans, sneakers, a green coat, and a blue hat as he sniffled mumbling about his allergies.

"Boom! A million slap bracelets, I'm gonna have the best photo ever! And how do you like my new pigtails?!" The girl who just got done taking her photo walked past Mabel and stuck a wad of gum in her hair laughing out "Have fun brat!" Everyone started laughing at her as Mabel tried to pull the gum out, tears pricking her eyes as she cried out "Gum?! You ruined my hair!" She then turned to Dipper. "Dipper what do I do?"
