Mabel's Reality

Just a Daydream

Mabel always had an overactive imagination. But little did she know that her mind was more powerful than she realized. It contained an immense strength that was just waiting to be harnessed by lurking evils...

"Ahhhh! Someone help!" Mabel yelled in a high pitched voice as she pushed a wooden pencil with a face drawn on it into an electric sharpener. "Don't worry Madame, McLead is on the way!" In her left hand she held another pencil as she pretended to make it talk. "Along with his faithful sidekick, Pinkie!" She exclaimed introducing a pink eraser with smiley face carved into it. "Ba da dum dum dum!" The two office supplies galloped over to the sharpener on invisible horses. "We're here to save the day!" Pinkie said reassuringly. "Not so fast, McLead!" Mabel said in a wicked voice. "You have to get past me first!" They gasped, surprise unshown on their scribbled faces. "Long legs Lucie!" They both exclaimed when Mabel pulled out a pair of glitter stained scissors. A fierce battle broke out between the beloved heroes and the villainous Lucy. Right as she was about to cut McLead in half, Dipper walked through the doorway noticing what his sister was doing.

"Awww, c'mon Mabel! I told you that I need those pencils, I didn't bring anymore and Grunkle Stan charges five dollars for the ones in the gift shop." Dipper complained snatching the pencils from his sister's hand. He twiddled the smallest in his hand grumbling to himself, "So that's how they keep getting so short so fast."

"But Dipper! I need fun!" Mabel whined laying down on the floor with her arms outstretched. "I'm so bored that I have become one with the floor." She then commenced to make dust angels on the ground while repeating the word "bored."

Dipper nudged the girl with his foot to get her off the papers he needed. "Mabel...you're laying on my theories and I need those," Dipper whined trying to get her to budge, but to no avail. "Come on Mabel, move!" He succeeded in rolling her over, but she scooted back on top of his work. Her hair covered her face and he couldn't quite hear what she mumbled. It sounded something along the lines of, "Can't move. I'm a floor." He groaned at her stubborness, "So you're a floor now and can't move at all." She nodded, resilient to stay in that one spot. He let out a huge sigh and was about to give up when he came up with a sly idea. " Well that's too bad," he said coyly, "I guess I can't take you with me then to check out this super awesome thing I found in the woods!" Her ears perked up at the sound of his comment. Faster than a flash of lightning, Mabel quickly dashed into the closet and came out sporting two backpacks.

"Ready to go when you are Sir Dip Dop!" She exclaimed saluting him. Dipper chuckled grabing the backpack from his sister. Together they ventured into the forest searching for the super awesome mystery item. As they neared the object of their journey, Dipper recognized the familiar surroundings and suddenly took off running.

"It's over here!" He exclaimed towing his sister along as he narrowly avoided tree branches and large rocks. He stopped in front of a large muddy area, gesturing to the imprint within it. "See!" his voice slightly cracking with excitement.

"Mud?" Mabel asked confused while looking down at the wet dirt. "Or is it magic or something?"

Out of frustration, Dipper pinched the bridge of his nose. "No, no. Mabel look. There's a footprint!" Puzzlement crossed her face, clueless to the significance of the print. "And it's super large..." Dipper said slowly trying to get her to understand.

Mabel let out a gasp, "Do you think it could be Bigfoot?!" She squished her face while gazing down at the print in wonder.

Dipper kneeled down next to the mud in observation. "Technically, there is a race of creatures with large feet called sasquatches, so there is no singular Bigfoot." He spotted more tracks leading deeper into the forest and followed them out of curiosity.

"So there are more? What if we find a whole city of them? Would they have leader? I wonder if they call their leaders mayors like we do? Does that mean I could run for Mayor?" Mabel babbled on while following behind her brother.

"I don't think so Mabel. I think if they did have mayors, you'd have to be a sasquatch to run," Dipper said humoring his sister. However she didn't hear him as she was off in her own little fantasy world.

Standing upon a wooden stump, Mabel was behind a makeshift podium in the middle of the forest with two sasquatches wearing matching ties by her side. "My fellow citizens!" Mabel addressed a group of large, hairy beasts, "Today I am announcing my candidacy for Sasquatchal Mayor! If elected mayor, I will make it rain sprinkles and give out gold sandwiches! Also, I will rename Monday 'Mabelday' and no one will have to go to school or work! The future is here, and her name is Mabel!" Loud roars filled the forest in applause as she was handed a crown and a sash that read "Ms Mayor". She beamed as they all chanted her name, "Mabel! Mabel! Mabel! Mabel!"

"Mabel, Mabel..." Dipper was snapping his fingers in front of his sister's face trying to get her attention. She looked at him with a dazed expression, before coming back to reality. "You need to pay more attention, you almost fell into that hole," he said worridly.

Mabel gave him a small smile, "Sorry Dip, I was just thinking." Although she had quite the lively personality, Mabel tended to spend half of her time fantasizing. Sometimes the two got into trouble due to her being so distracted, but recently Dipper had begun to notice that Mabel was becoming more and more so.

"Sometimes I worry about you," Dipper said concerned. Often he wondered what was going on in her head, but knowing Mabel's personality he didn't really want to learn what she was thinking. Once he made the mistake of asking her and she replied, "Since feet have soles, does that mean they go to heaven?" Over the years, he learned that one should not question her strange reasoning, yet he still remained curious. "But I'm afraid to learn what goes on in that head of yours," he said continuing his thought.

Mabel gave a befuddled look in response to his previous comment. "What do you mean?" She asked innocently.

He was about to comment further but decided it was best not to press the issue. For all he knew, she could secretly be smart and just playing dumb so she could plot without anyone ever knowing and take over the world! He quickly shook away the thought and turned away from his sister to return to following the tracks. "Nevermind," he muttered mostly to himself.

Mabel caught up to him and gave him a nudge in the side while laughing, "Dipper you're too paranoid." She walked alongside him smiling, "Afterall, it was just a day dream."
