Tender Surrender

In your dreams

[Dipper's POV]
It was 2 in the morning, as usual, I could not sleep. I was so close to retrieving the journal, if only I had another minute, I've been worrying about it for days, and I think I have a way to get the journal back.

"Will, I need you."

"Yes master Dipper?"

"Get me in Gideon Gleefuls' mind, I need to control him to get me the journal."

"Your wish is my command."

I arrived at his mind, so dark, so messy. I opened a few doors, let me see...Memories of Bud Gleeful, nope, memories of Mabel Pines, nope, memories of Pacifica Northwest...might as well take a look.

[Gideons' POV in his memory]

"Hey cuz, no need to worry, I'm fine."

"No you're not, how dare he tie you up like that, I can't believe I fell in love with a guy like him!"

The whole room fell silent, Mabel and I were looking at her, we were actually surprised, to be honest, she looked more surprise than we did.

''Nothing to see here I guess, let me continue my search.*

[Pacifica' POV]
I was brushing my teeth when Mabel suddenly shouted.

"PACIFICA, I need you to come, QUICK!''

"What happened Mabel?"

"It's Gideon, someone entered his mind!"
"How do you know?"
"You want me to explain magic to you?"

I don't know what to do, until I remembered--the journal! I'm sure there's something in it that can help us! Let me check his 'do not touch' box, ew, it's...ugh I need to wash my eyes later. Let me look deeper under his bed, there! The journal! I took it out and handed the book to Mabel to look for help.

"Here! We can use this spell to enter his mind as well so we can stop whoever is in there!"

"Let's go then! What are we waiting for?"

Mabel chanted the spell and soon after we were in Gideons' mind.

[Dipper's POV]

I felt a slight disturbance in the mindscape, someone else has entered his mind, I need to move quick.

"Will, help me slow down the uninvited guests."

"As you wish"

There it is, the 'control room', I'm going to have fun playing with this body.

[Mabel's POV]
Hey, there's a door with my name written on it, let's see what's inside. Oh...wow...Gideon does like me...a lot, well it is quite sweet.

"Mabel! We gotta move quick!"

"Right, right, sorry."

We've walked for so long yet we were still unable to find the person in Gideon's mind, luckily our mind cannot feel tired in the mindscape so walking for another few hours won'r matter.

[Pacifica's POV]

"Mabel! Do you know what is that?"

A blue triangle appeared in front of us.

"Greetings ma'am, I am Will Cipher, slave of the Pines Family."

"Will, get out of our way."

"I'm sorry but I'm.afraid I cannot do that Mistress Mabel."

Mabel started to get mad at Will and she started to attack him, which was a great distraction and gave me enough time to run past them and go inside and find the culprit. I bust the door open just to see Dipper sitting down and enjoying a cup of tea, he was grinning, whatever he's up to, it's definetly pure evil.

"Hello sweetheart, care for some tea?"

"Dipper, let Gideon go."

"I'm afraid I won't. Not until I'm done with it."

"You just wamt the journal, right?I'll give it to you. Just let Gideon go."

"That's why I took the liberty of controlling Gideon and letting him take the journal for me."

"Hey, what's that on your face?"

"What?"

"IT WAS PAIN."

I punched Dipper really hard on the face, but nothing happened. I saw a fire burn in his eye, but it soon vanished as he became emotionless again. Suddenly, the door opened and Will brought in an injured Mabel, Mabel stood up looked Dipper in the eye, then the whole room was filled with dead air, the twins looked at each other dead in the eye until suddenly, Mabel turned to me and said

"Sorry."

She chanted a spell and I was banished from Gideon's mindscape. She betrayed me!

[Dipper's POV]

"Clever choice sister. Or else Gideon now would've been dead trying to fly like a Herring Gulljumping off a cliff."

"You sick, demented as-"

"Language sister. And I have unfinished business with you as well. You chose those commoners over family?"

"Well at least they cared for me brother. They were real family."

"They were strangers whom you'you've just met and you say they are your...that's it."

I snapped my fingers and I caged my sister inside Gideon's mind, no one would ever find out where she is, all I have to do is hide her physical body, I'll just let her body lie in the Shack, maybe the townsfolk will think that the Pines killed her, killing two birds with one stone. Another thing that really bothers me is that whether my great uncle was really that important for me to threaten, hurt and even kill the people I love most to save him? This is why I hate my feelings, useless and a plain nuisance. All I've learnt from this cruel, cold world is that "Morality is subjective", so hurting Pacifica to save my great uncle isn't a bad option.

[Gideon's POV]
Where am I? Why am I in the forest suddenly? This is weird.

"Gideon!"

I heard Pacifica shouting my name in the distance.

"Over here cuz!"

"Thank god you're alright! Are you hurt?"

"Not at all, say, why am I in the forest?"

"It's a long story."

Then suddenly, there was a white light flashing before my eyes, but I was back to normal again a second later, I thought I heard Mabel. I wonder what just happened? Maybe I'm just tired.

[Pacifica's POV]
Why did Mabel betray us? I thought she loved Gideon? This doesn't make sense at all! I guess all Pines are just crooked, no good thieves who steal from us and break our...hearts. I realized no matter what Dipper did, he still had a place in my heart, and I hate myself for that, how could you love someone who hurts your family? Are you crazy Pacifica? Am I going insane?

"Uh....cuz, are you ok?"

I suddenly realized tears were coming out of my eyes, damn feelings, why can't the world be nice to me just for once? Why can't I have normal, pure love.

"I'm alright Gideon, just some dust in my eyes."

Wait a second....what if the Pines twins were still in Gideon's mind!? I remembered the journal has said "In Reverse Falls, trust no one!", maybe that's what the author meant! I looked at Gideon's injured body, after all we've been through, I know that even though I couldn't trust anyone, I know that he still has my back.
