Memories-Be-Gone: An Alternate Ending For 'The Last Mabelcorn'

Epilogue

Dipper could feel an intense power coursing through his brain, and could hear voices inside his head, speaking the past and what he could remember.

It's not like I lay awake at night thinking about her.

Oh, what? Are you saying I'm not a male man?

Disco Girl, coming through, that girl is you!

Sir Dippingsauce!

Aww, you sneeze like a kitten!

Alpha Twin! Alpha Twin!

Get this on tape in case I die, or whatever.

I will call you...Number Two!

Tyrone!

Wendy! Wendy! Wendy! Wendy!

Oh... Heh heh, interesting! But who stole the caperssss...?

Dipper awoke from his dream-like state, gasping for much needed air to fill his empty lungs. He looked up to see Ford, Mabel, Candy, and Grenda staring at him with astounded gazes.

"Dipper!" Mabel barreled into him, knocking him over onto the wood floor. Dipper heaved a loud oof from the crash, and smiled at his sister.

"Did it work? What do you remember?" Ford questioned him while tinkering with the gun's antenna.

Dipper thought for a moment. His brain suddenly uncovered the memory of his fight with Ford, and the twin held in a gasp. "I remember... Everything!" He winked at his Gruncle, who nodded in return.

Candy triumphantly raised a fist, "Awesome! But my parents will probably be expecting me home soon, so can we go back to the Shack?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they started on their way.

Dipper and Mabel were celebrating the return of his memories with some Mabel Juice!

"I added some extra glitter for the occasion!" Mabel cheered gleefully. She offered the pitcher to Dipper, who hesitantly poured some in his glass.

"I suppose I could help you put it out of it's misery," Dipper replied while picking out a plastic dinosaur. He sat down at the table, and looked around the room. "Where's Great Uncle Ford?"

Mabel chuckled. "Back in the basement, probably."

Dipper took a swig of the juice. I should probably go see him at some point, he thought, He's got a lot of explaining to do. The preteen remembered the quarrel, and shuddered as he recalled the fear he had experienced during it.

They heard the kitchen door creak, and Gruncle Stan strolled in. He had a large bag with money poking out the zipper in his right hand, and a smug grin on his wrinkly face. "Heya Kiddos," he said.

"Uh, what's with the giant money bag?" Dipper asked.

Stan laughed. "Oh, just some money I borrowed from the cashiers..." He leaned close to the twins, and cupped a hand around his mouth. "....If the cops come by our house, tell them I don't live here." With the mention of that, the mystery man left the room to go stash his money in who-knows-where.

"Uh, does he know about my memories?" Dipper felt sort of left out, for some reason.

Mabel shrugged. "Give him time, he'll figure it out." She chugged down her Mabel juice all in one go, somehow withstanding the giant clump of glitter that once rested at the bottom of her cup.

Wendy in Soos came in through the door. "Hey doods!" Soos greeted them, and took his ski mask off of his face, replacing it with his casual handyman cap.

"Oh, um, Soos! W-Wendy!" Dipper exclaimed, and Mabel came up to her brother.

"Play it cool. Do you remember the time with the bunker?"

Dipper sulked. "Oh... Yeah.." He wished it wasn't as true as it sounded. He still felt uncomfortable the fact that he couldn't seem to let go of Wendy.

"'Sup." Wendy said cooly.

Mabel greeted them all with a hug, and shouted, "Dipper's got his memories back!!!!"

There was a long silence, and everyone seemed to be soaking it in for a moment. I guess I'm still surprised too. Dipper thought to himself, shuffling his feet.

"Whoa! That's awesome!" Soos exclaimed, and patted Dipper's cap. "Welcome back."

Wendy grinned. "Cool! It's nice to see you not giving everything confused looks."

Dipper chuckled to himself as they left the room, and Mabel smiled at him.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too, Mabel."

They gave each other a hard hug, and Dipper felt a warm feeling rush through him. It really does feel good to be back.

Sorry for the short, kind of boring chapter. But remember we're reaching the end of the story, and not much action happens around then.
