Riot Rises (Gravity Rises + Fight Falls)

Defying Riot - Aftermath of "Gathering Gideon"

A snow rainy day in the small town of Gravity Rises, a day passed since the small problem with Gideon's other selves has been solved.

It didn't take him too long to see a familiar girl at a bridge, a familiar hooded girl, her brown hoodie did not hide her identity from him.

He knew that was Mabel Pleasure.

"Hey!" Gideon shouted at her.

She turned her eye to the side without moving her head, she recognised the boy in cyan and red clothing, she rolled her eyes and stared down the bridge again, glancing at the frozen lake.

"Don't ignore me!" Gideon ordered.

Mabel sighed, then glanced at him, their eyes met, his was filled with anger, hers was filled with annoyance.

"What do you want?" Mabel asked.

"I want answers from you." Gideon answered, walking closer to her.

"Such as?" Mabel asked.

He stood in front of her, basically face to face with her, she was a bit taller than him, causing him to raise his head a bit up to stare at her eyes.

"Who are you?" Gideon asked.

"You already know who I am." Mabel answered. "My brother revealed me that day, and we had our bonding thanks to your “clones”."

"That's not what I meant." Gideon stated.

"And what perhaps do you mean, then?" Mabel asked. "Do you want to know my intentions? Do you want to know my family? Do you want to know me?"

"Yes, I want to know the real you." Gideon stated.

Mabel chuckled a bit. "My my, I knew I could get people in love with me, but I wasn't aware it was that quick."

Gideon immediately turned red, closing his fist and raising his voice. "It's not like that you weird half head!"

Mabel leaned a bit down, to his ear. "Watch your tone when talking to me, Southeast." Mabel said, in a low voice. "I'm not someone you should make an enemy."

He shivered a bit and retreated back, Mabel stood back up and stretched her fingers, something she liked to do to relieve her stress.

"I don't trust you, especially knowing you're helping Dipper." Gideon said.

Mabel laughed, loudly, maliciously. "Trust? Oh, darling, trust is such a strong thing to do." she approached him, taking off her hood and revealing her black and white hair. "But if it helps you sleep at night..." she put her hands behind her back, her smile grew a bit, her eyes glowed red. "I wouldn't trust me either."

Gideon's eyes widened in shock, Mabel walked past him as her smile faded, putting her hood back on her head, touching her amulet firmly.

He glanced at her as she stepped away, groaning in a low tone as he ran after her, not giving up that easily. Mabel heard him coming, and even if she was annoyed by that, she also liked his persistence and curiosity, his stubbornness, it was familiar to her.

It reminded her of herself.

The End
