!!Finished!! Dipper has always been protective of Mabel. Its how siblings are, looking out for each other. However, recently Dipper has started acting way more protective, overprotective over her. Its starts to effect Mabel who is once again trying...
Life had pretty much returned to normal in Gravity Falls. Ford was showing off all the other cool stuff he got from the convention, Stan was marking prices through the roof in the gift shop to try and pay back all those credit card bills Ford had stocked up and Dipper and Mabel were making the most of the summer weather. Today however they decided to stay in and catch up on some TV shows. "So how's that new phone of yours working" said Dipper. "Uhh I'm still trying to get used to it. Also for the record I'm still keeping my Several Timez ringtone as its not overrated at all" said Mabel. "Okay then" said Dipper totally confused. "So what have you got planned then bro bro" said Mabel. "Oh your gonna love this new show. It's about this princess and this magic wand and this book of spells, and-"
Dipper could not finish before there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it" said Mabel. "If it's the pizza guy the money is in the flower pot" said Dipper. Mabel opened the door. To her surprise it's not the pizza guy. It was Brad. The boyfriend she had before Henry. "Brad. What are you doing here" says Mabel a bit shocked. "Hey Mabel. Look, I was thinking and, I heard about what happened to you and I wanted to make sure you were alright and all" he said. "I'm fine. It was nothing really. Anyways if that's all, i'll just be going now" says Mabel slowly closing the door. "No wait Mabel that's not what I came to ask you" he says. Mabel looks up.
"You see I was thinking and, I was a jerk to you back when I left you. And all because your brother was spying on us. I did not want to hurt your feelings or anything. I just thought he was being too nosy" said Brad. "Okay so what's your point" says Mabel. "My point is, after I heard you went missing, I realized why Dipper was spying on us. He was just keeping you safe and I left you over that" he said. "Let me guess, you want to get back together with me" says Mabel. "What no, why would I wanna. Okay fine you got me. I wanted to ask if, maybe, I don't know. You wanted to talk about it, maybe over a milkshake or something" he said. "Right now" says Mabel. "If it's okay with you and all" Brad said.
Mabel looked back at Dipper who was getting all eager to watch the show. All the snacks the two were planning to eat while watching it sat nearby. She thought for a moment and then looked back to Brad. "Look Brad. We had our time together and it did not work out. I know you forgive me and I forgive you too, but it just won't work" says Mabel. "But I thought you wanted a boyfriend. You even told me how boy crazy you were last year" said Brad.
"Well, over the last few days I learned something. I think I'm not ready to have a boyfriend yet. I thought I was, and I wanted to, but I realized I just am not. I also realized how much my own wants risked my life and Dipper's. He nearly died on several occasions because I was not careful. And also, times running out for us" said Mabel. Brad looked at her. "I thought it was Dipper who was growing up too fast but I think I was too. Who knows what the future will bring for us. High school is around the corner, all that work, expectations and junk and after all that, me and him are basically adults. I can have a boyfriend then when I'm older and more mature. But for now, I need to make time for my brother. He did for me. Now I have to repay the favour. I'm never gonna get this chance again. If I miss it and not use it, it will never come back to me. Just like my childhood will never come back if I loose it. I appreciate you coming Brad, but the answer is no" she says finishing her sentence.
Mabel looked at him. "Oh my gosh Brad are you crying" she says looking at Brad who looks like he's fighting back tears. "What no, I just have dust in my eyes that's all" he says. Mabel chuckles a bit. "Well I can't get in your way Mabel, also that was quite mature if I do say so myself" says Brad. "And anyways that's okay, I thought maybe you would say no coming here. Maybe even throw a custard pie in my face to prove it". The two laugh. "Well, I gotta get back. Dipper's waiting for me and all" Mabel says. "Ya. Well, bye Mabel". "Bye Brad". Mabel watches as Brad gets on his bike and rides off. After that she closes the door and heads back inside.
"Who was at the door" asks Dipper. "Oh, it was. It was, uhh, Grenda, ya she just wanted to know when I was free for a sleepover later this week" said Mabel. "Uhh, okay" says Dipper. Mabel sits down as Dipper changes the channels. "Oh and by the way Mabel, thanks for choosing to hang out with me instead of Brad" he says. "Wait you knew" Mabel says in shock. "Mabel, I'm your brother of course I knew. Also you had the door wide open. I won't be surprised if Grunkle Stan even heard you" says Dipper. "huh, once overprotective, always overprotective. I'm not even gonna complain. Distracts you from being all nerdy and stuff" says Mabel. "Well what am I gonna do now that you won't be all boy crazy" says Dipper. "Well we still got an entire summer ahead of us. Who knows. Now come on the shows about to start" says Mabel. Dipper changes the channel. "It's good to have you back Mabel" he says. "It's good to be back" she replies. The two sit back and spend the rest of the day watching the TV marathon.
And with that, valuable lessons have been learned. Cherish your childhood while it lasts. Don't try to grow up too fast. Make each moment last. Something else that maybe rhymes. And remember to always be safe out there. Be on the lookout because you never know who out there you meet could be another Henry Hewden. But with that, this story about two of the greatest cartoon twins that have ever existed has reached...
