Complicated

Chapter 2: Sleepover!

Mabel's POV

The last few days have been nothing but catching up with everyone. Grunkle Stan said that the Mystery Shack has gotten a lot more business since Dipper and I came back. He calls us his little money makers. It's pretty funny because Dipper and I aren't little anymore.

Anyway, I was bored. Dipper was out solving some mystery, or whatever, but I didn't want to go. I guess I'm not the same mystery hunter I was four years ago, but Dipper still is. If anything, he's gotten more into it.

So, Dipper was out, Ford was in the basement, Stan and Soos are working, and Pacifica was at the mall. It was nice to have Pacifica live here, but she wasn't always around. What could I do? That's when it hit me.

A SLEEPOVER!!!

I called Candy, Grenada, Wendy and Pacifica to come over around seven. That left me a few hours to get everything set up.

Time really flew by and everyone started to show up.

"Hey Wendy! I greeted the last of my guests.

"Hey Mabes! Where should I put all this stuff?" She asked motioning to her bag and sleeping bag.

"You can just bring it up to the attic. That's where everyone else is." So we headed up stairs and the first thing on my list was to gossip. So ya know, we just talked.

"Hey Mabel, where um... where's D-Dipper?" Pacifica asked slowly.

"Ooooooo! Does somebody have a CRUSH!?!?" I joked.

"SHUT UP! I DO NOT!!!" She yelled, blushing madly. We all started laughing but Wendy didn't seem amused for some reason.

"Seriously though," Candy started, "every girl in town has a crush on him."

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"Well...yeah. He got pretty hot over the past for years," she continued.

"Do you have a crush on him?" I questioned, not knowing if I really wanted the answer to it.

"Duh! Who doesn't?" She said matter of factly. I turned to Wendy and then Pacifica. They both had their heads down and cherry red faces.

Their was a really long awkward silence. That's when we all heard the door open and close downstairs. Then, footsteps coming up to the door.

Dipper opened the door and shock came across his face.

"Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting something?" He apologized.

"No we were just...talking," I said finally. "What happened to you?" His hair was all messed up with leaves and dirt in it. His shirt was all ripped and I guess he lost his sweatshirt at some point. And to top it all off, he had cuts and bruises all over his body.

"Huh? Oh I was just in the woods being chased by some monsters. Just a typical Tuesday," he said like it was nothing, because to him it was nothing. "Well, I guess you girls are having a sleepover, so I'll just grab my things and get out of you hair."

I noticed Pacifica, Wendy, and Candy all looking at Dipper when he went to grab his things and leave. When that door closed and he was gone everyone just let out a loud sigh.

"So...are any of you gonna tell him?" I asked kind of annoyed that no one said anything when he was in here.

Nobody answered.

Eventually the tension wore off and we were back to having fun. Dipper never came back in and I'm glad about that because if he did, we would probably go right back to where we started.

After everyone fell asleep, I snuck downstairs to see Dipper. I felt bad for him, he fell asleep on the couch with a book on his chest.

"Hey Dip," I whispered while shaking him slightly.

"Hmm," he mumbled drowsily.

"I'm sorry we kind of kicked you out of our room. You can come sleep in your bed if you want," I reasoned.

"No no Mabel. Really I'm fine. It's a girls sleepover, you wouldn't want a dumb boy to wreck it."

"Yeah but I feel bad. How about you come hang out with us tomorrow. We'll probably go into town or something. Maybe you can show us something in the woods."

"Alright but don't be afraid to tell me if I'm getting in the way. I won't be offended," he said with a smile.

I smiled back. "Okay bro-bro, goodnight!"

"Goodnight," he said while lying back down.

I quietly made my way back upstairs only to hear rustling coming from inside. I open the door to find Wendy and Pacifica fighting over Dipper's bed.

"Seriously?" I asked, "Pacifica , you have your own bed in here. This is your room too! And Wendy, that's just weird. You're supposed to be the cool one! If anything, I would expect Candy to do this, not you two."

"She's right," Candy added.

"Can you guys please forget about Dipper for one night? He'll be hanging out with us all day tomorrow, so you can flirt with him then," I finished. "And keep it down because Dipper might think something's wrong and come up here to check on us."

After that, we all said our goodnights and fell asleep.

I honestly didn't care if they had a crush on my brother but it's getting kind of annoying. At least Grenda already had a boyfriend, so she didn't have a crush on my brother.

The rest of the night was peaceful, but we all shot up, around 3:30, when we heard a huge  BANG! from downstairs.

Dipper!
