You open your eyes. At first everything's blurry, but as things come into focus you realize you're staring at the ceiling of the secret room, which is coated in cobwebs. You also realize that you're holding the key in your hand.
"Yes! We won! We won!" you call out excitedly, jumping to your feet and holding the key up high.
"Not so fast, Dipper." you turn to see Grunkle Stan standing in the doorway. He walks over to you and plucks the key out of your hand. "I think I'm gonna hold on to this, and maybe i'll reward it to whoever sucks up to me the hardest. Yeah, I like the sound of that." he laughs, strolling out of the room.
Wait, lets rewind a bit. Did he just call you Dipper? How is that possible? You don't exactly look alike.
"Ugggh. What happened? Wait, why am I - ahhhhhhhh!"
You look up to see Mabel looking down at herself and screaming. You had almost forgotten that she and Dipper were still here.
"Mabel, relax, what's wrong?" you ask, putting a hand on her shoulder.
She looks up at you, and just starts screaming again.
"Woa, what was that? It was like a mega shock!"
You turn around to see another person sitting on the floor. It takes a couple seconds for you to register that the person is you.
"What the . . ." you mutter. You look over at Mabel. "Dipper? Is that you?" you ask. "This is y/n. I think we somehow switched bodies. I'm in yours, Mabel is in mine, and you're in Mabel's."
"Yeah, it's me. Jeez, braces hurt. It feels like my mouth hates me." Dipper/Mabel says, poking at his teeth.
You run over to Mabel/you, and explain to her your theory.
When you've finished, Mabel sighs. "This is crazy."
"Yeah." you smile. "Just look at me and Dipper."
Mabel/you looks up to see Dipper/Mabel trying to figure out how to keep all his hair out of his face, and you both laugh.
You then explain how Stan took the key and said he would only give it to who sucked up the hardest. "Can you believe that?" you finish. "Who would care that much to be willing to be Stan's servant for a -" you're cut of by Mabel/you and Dipper/Mabel jumping up and running towards the door at the same time. They go sprinting down the stairs, arguing about all the stuff they're going to do for Stan. You roll your eyes and start walking in the direction they went.
Once you reach the bottom of the stairs, you walk into the kitchen to find Stan lounging in a chair like a king while the two siblings fuss over him.
"You gonna get in on this, Dipper?" Stan asks.
"Nah, I'm good, thanks." you say smugly, crossing your - well technically Dipper's - arms and leaning against the wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About an hour later, you're sitting on the porch swing watching Mabel/you and Dipper/Mabel mow the lawn. You think that it's pretty dumb how they're both buying into Stan's game.
"So, Stan." you start, turning to look at the man sitting next to you. "What's your opinion on y/n?"
He raises his eyebrows. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason in particular. Just wondering what you thought of her."
Grunkle Stan gives you a weird look, then turns to look at the Mabel/you that's mowing the lawn. "Well, she's strong, independent, and stubborn - but in a good way, I guess. She seems like the kind of kid who's not afraid to stand up for herself and friends."
You smile at that. "Thank - I mean, cool."
Stan looks at you. "Why are you smiling?"
You stop, and put on a straight face. ". . . you have food stuck in your teeth." you lie.
"As if I care," Stan chuckles, taking another sip of the lemonade Mabel/you made for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the two siblings finished mowing the lawn, you all went inside to rest for a while.
"Man, being Mabel is like I'm on a sugar high, but all the time." Dipper/Mabel says. "It's like all I want to do is jump up and down for hours and hours and hours."
Mabel/you laughs. "Yeah, y/n's body is much more calm than my real one."
Just then the doorbell rings, and Mabel's/your eyes go wide. Dipper/Mabel gets up to answer it.
"Oh no, Dipper. I forgot about the -"
Dipper/Mabel flings open the door, only realizing his mistake after it's too late.
"Sleepover!" Candy and Grenda yell, finishing Mabel's/your sentence for her.
"You're not getting out of it this time!" Grenda exclaims, grabbing who she thought were Mabel and you, but were really Dipper and Mabel. She started dragging them upstairs at a pretty fast rate. You run after them, trying to catch up.
You're so close to grabbing Dipper/Mabel's hand and pulling him to freedom, but Candy slams the door in your face before you can, yelling "No boys allowed!" and laughing.
You slump against the door and slide down until you're sitting on the ground. For the first time in your life, you're glad you aren't you.
