The wrath of Catherine

Chapter 13: Breaking News!

Catherine has finally been defeated with Mabel seeing to it that she gets her last word and now Stan is on the run from the law. What's going on with everyone now?'

"Mabel." Dipper sadly begins. "I know why you felt you had to have the final word with Catherine, but in the end, we both lost! Don't you see?! We lost! I lost my twin, the other half of me and you sacrificed your life to save everyone! That was very brave of you, but just know one thing…."

The tears in the corners of his eyes now form into full blown waterfalls that are streaming heavily down his cheeks.

"I'll never forget you." Dipper begins bellowing. "You were not only my sister, but the greatest person in the world! You knew what it took to make others laugh, you always brought a smile to my face even when I didn't appreciate it, and you…you…were just so wonderful! Gravity Falls will never be the same without you! I'm really going to miss you!"

Leaning over her unconscious body, the younger pines begins crying heavier. Wendy, Gideon, and Pacifica are now overcome with sadness as they witness the scene unfolding in front of them.

"I guess we really didn't win." Gideon mumbles to himself.

With the amulet still in her hand, her grip tightens around it as Mabel's eyes now flutter open. Despite how painful it is to move, the older pines now turns her head to see her brother weeping next to her.

"Hey, what's with the tears?" Mabel weakly asks. "Did someone die?"

Dipper now perks up and turns to Mabel, seeing that her eyes are open and that she is smiling weakly at him.

"Mabel!" Dipper screams with happiness. "You're alive! I didn't lose you after all! Oh thank goodness! I have my twin sister back!"

"It's going to take more than a malfunctioning clone to get rid of me." Mabel replies, now attempting to sit up. Seeing her struggles, Dipper helps her into seating position and engulfs her in a bear hug.

"I thought I would never see your smile or her your laughter again!" Dipper continues cheering. "I can never imagine life without you!"

"Same here Dip." Mabel replies, now bringing the amulet into her view. "But now we can say that we finally got the last word."

Giving the amulet one more glance, Mabel now tosses it over the side of the ledge as she returns the hug to her twin. As the two continue hugging, the once darkened city of Gravity Falls now regains it light.

"This is no ordinary mystery, duck-tective." The constable explains. "I believe it could be—"

"Murder!" Duck-tective quacks, finishing the constable's thought.

"You said it!" Mabel cheers with a laugh, now taking another bite of her waffles from her hospital breakfast tray.

Since the defeat of Catherine, Mabel was immediately taken the hospital to get treated for the scars left behind from the fight. The areas of her skin that were fried from being electrocuted when Catherine attacked her and when for when she jumped on the clone's back during her defeat are healing up nicely thanks to the doctor that was assigned to her case, looking as if she never got into a fight with Catherine. The same can't be said about her sweater however, as that was destroyed in the battle. But it can easily be re-done, becoming a new and improved sweater according to Mabel.

Now finishing her waffles, Mabel places the knife and fork back onto the tray and moves her table to the side. Laying back down, Mabel closes her eyes and relaxes into the bed as the feeling of sleep washes over her. Just as the sweater wearer is drifting off into a sound sleep, the door to her room opens with Dipper and Wendy stepping through, instantly waking the girl.
