Caught (Monster Falls AU)

Dipper sighed as he pulled the wagon with his half fish sister in it. "I don't see why you need to swim I'm the lake. Grunkle Stan bought, like, a bazillion kiddie pools for you."

Mabel shrugged. "I need more room to swim around in. And who knows, I might meet a hot merman while I'm down there."

Dipper rolled his eyes at him with a small smirk. "Okay, just hurry up." He grabbed the edge of the wagon and tipped her into the lake. "Hey!" She yelled with a laugh. I laughed along with her. She resurfaced and spit water at Dipper. "Hey!" He said, shaking himself dry. "You don't have to deal with wet fur."

Mabel smiled and swam farther out to the middle of the lake. She waved to fish and the sea monster that lived at the bottom of the lake. They'd become pretty good friends, at least, that is, after he tried to eat her.

Dipper settled himself on the dock, folding his deer legs under himself. He was still trying to get used to the feeling of having to do this. He reached into his vest pocket and brought out a handful of grass to munch on. This also took some getting used to, but he hated to eat in front of everyone else, because they all laughed at how "adorable" he looked.

Something on the far side of the lake caught his eye. He squinted and held up his hand to shield his eyes. It was a boat. It wouldn't be that weird, except that it was the only one, it was the size of a yacht, and the rest of the townspeople wouldn't be out on the boat, because it was outlawed because of a good number of townspeople now living in the lake.

Dipper skimmed the water for Mabel. She didn't seem to notice the boat coming near her. Dipper's heart leapt when he noticed it was a fishing boat. "Mabel!" He yelled with a bleat. She was too far away to hear him. Dipper lept to his feet, forgetting about his deer hooves. They wobbled under him abe he crashed into the water.

Gasping for breath, Dipper grabbed the edge of the dock and tried to heave himself up, his deer half seeming even heavier than usual.

As for Mabel, she was still swimming happily. Dipper's faint bleat had made it's way too late to her fine tuned ears. She resurfaced and saw her brother who had fallen into the lake. She rolled her eyes at him. "Always the hero." She started to swim over to help him when her tail was suddenly jerked back and something wrapped up her torso. "Hey, what the... help!" She screamed, seeing a hook in her delicate mermaid tail. The water was turning red from the blood coming out of the wound.

Dipper heard his sister's scream and tried even harder to pull himself up, his deer legs not making it any easier. Someone suddenly grabbed him by the arms and pulled him up. "Hey, man, are you okay?"

Dipper was still coughing up water when he pointed towards the lake and looked up at Wendy. "Mabel..." he got between his coughs.

The werewolf nodded. "Stay here," she said. Then with that, she dived in the water to find her mermaid friend.

Mabel was yanked onto the ship and came face to face with a man with a blond hair and an eyepatch. He smiled coldly at her. "Hey there, Shooting Star. Everything going swimmingly?" He crackled with insane laughter.

Mabel tried to free her arms from the net that was wrapped them to her torso. "Bill," Mabel says through gritted teeth. "Let me go!"

Bill laughed again. "Sorry, kid, but I've got other plans for you."

"W-what do you mean?" Mabel asked, her voice shaking.

"You and your brother have been getting I'm my way too much. It's time I fixed that."

"Not if I can help it!" Said a voice from behind.

Mabel's face broke into a smile, then in a grimace as she moved her impaled tail.
