Twins of light and dark

Some not-so-friendly faces

A few nights later, Mabel and Dipper had mustered up the courage to explore the forest around the town, seeing where they might end up.
To find where the cave was, Mabel put a spell on it to make it stand out for their eyes only but to others would just make it seem like a dark cave standing alone in the woods.

The twins roamed and explored the forest, staying close by each other so if anything were to happen they would fight it together, the leaves crunching as they walked.

"So what can you do, Dipping Dots?" asked Mabel, her wings fluttering and propelling her in the air.

"I can do this!" Dipper said triumphantly, levitating in the air at the same height as Mabel.

Her facial expression filled with glee and she clapped her hands, giggling. 

She used her light again so they could see, trying not to make it too bright to hurt Dipper or alert any animals or humans.

"Well, well, well! if it isn't Lame and Braces, only more supernaturally annoying!" a high, feminine voice whined.

A chuckle was heard.
"My, my! so it is!" spoke a voice with a Southern drawl.

Dipper and Mabel went down to the ground and turned around to see who had spoken.

No magic could conceal what they were now; they'd already been seen.

"So much for people not seeing us" Dipper murmured angrily, his red eyes glared.
Mabel looked equally angered, which was rather unsettling to see, for nobody had seen her look so mad before.

Sure enough, the voices belonged to Dipper and Mabel's enemies; Gideon Gleeful and Pacifica Northwest, each enemy having a certain attraction to their rival's twin, much to Dipper and Mabel's dismay.

"What do you two want?" the twins growled in perfect unison.

This made the pair before them laugh again.

"Duh! it's simple, stupid! we wanna say we found two monsters, and you two fit the bill!" Pacifica sassed, a hand on her hip.

"Who knows? maybe we can get you carted off to a lab or a museum?" Gideon added, giving the blonde a sickening smirk.
Pacifica did the same back.

Out of anger, Dipper let out a hiss, baring his sharp white fangs.

"You're not gonna do that to me or Mabel!" he growled.
"And why not?" the couple asked together.

"Because they won't believe you!" Mabel chimed in, fluttering her wings.

"Oh really?" Gideon asked, Pacifica letting out a chilling laugh.

Mabel then whispered to Dipper and he chuckled softly, diverting his attention back to Gideon, Mabel doing the same to Pacifica.

"Obliviate" Mabel whispered, pointing a finger at Pacifica out of which shot a white and blue beam of light, sending her flying backwards onto the floor with a shriek. (Yes, I used a HP spell/reference...)

Meanwhile, Dipper stared into Gideon's eyes, his own eyes swirling with a bright vermilion colour.
"W-What are ya doin, pines?" Gideon asked shakily, trying his best to look away.

"Oh, nothing" Dipper said in a singing tone, his expression stern.
"You will not remember this night, thinking you'd gotten lost and blacked out for a while. You did not see what we are, we are not monsters, just regular twins. Understand?" his tone was as stern as his facial expression, but also soothing.

Gideon's face went blank and he nodded slowly. 

"Good" Dipper said, snapping his fingers to snap them both out of it, his eyes their 'regular' emerald green, Mabel's eyes were the same shade.

Gideon shook his head.

"Oh, hello again, pines" he sneered. "Fancy seeing you out here."

"What weird costumes" Pacifica asked. "What happened to us, anyways?"

"You're welcome. Both of you fainted after being chased by wolves" Mabel lied. "Why, I thought you'd hurt yourself badly, look" she pointed to a bruise which Mabel had made with her magic which would fade after about a couple of nights.

Pacifica held up her mirror and saw the bruise.

"Gosh! well....uh...thank you?" she said unsurely.

"I think you should get home, don't want your parents to worry" Dipper told them.

With that, both Gideon Gleeful and Pacifica Northwest left the twins in the forest.

Mabel ran a hand across her forehead with a sigh of relief, Dipper mirroring the action.
"That was SUPER close!" Mabel exclaimed.

"Yeah. We need to be a bit more careful from now on. C'mon, let's go back" Dipper said to his twin, who nodded.

Both of them walked hand in hand back to the cave, huddling together to keep warm as the night went on, until the first rays of sunlight shone over Gravity Falls
