Weirdness and Wendip (Book 2)

Spill your Secrets

Chapter dedicated to my dog. She's so lovable. Mabel's point of view.

Beaky was looking marvellous. His plumage groomed and washed and we'd put him in a little     t-shirt. Oh, he was so cute. I squealed internally. Currently he was by Stan's side leading a tour group round the shack, Stan seemed to be loving the company as well though this was probably because Beaky was like another employee but one which he didn't have to pay. I sat next to Wendy behind the register, she was flicking through a magazine absentmindedly. My attention was driven back to Wendy and something that didn't add up in her story.

"Hey Wendy." 

"What's up Mabel, pace of life too slow for you already?" She replied.

"Well, Ford told me about the entire bubble universe kind of inverting. I can't really understand that. I was just wondering why you didn't mention it?" I saw Wendy's eyes flash in alarm though she quickly regained her composure.

"Oh yeah, that, with all the craziness that happened I guess I just skipped it out." I narrowed my eyes, something didn't add up. Something must have happened. Something with Dipper probably. You could say I put on my suspecticles. Ha! I nearly rolled off the up turned barrel laughing at my joke. Wendy snorted with laughter as I nearly lost my balance.

"Come on Wendy, spill the beans I want to hear what happened from you?" She rolled her eyes at me. 

"Well alright Mabel, but it'll be the same story Ford told you. So right after this flock of flying cutlery attacked us. I can't believe I just said that normally. Well after that, the ground shook beneath our feet. So we jumped back onto our .... comflenee. Whatever it was called. As the ground split Ford and Bill went one way while me and Dipper went the other." I giggled.

"Ha! Something did happen, between you and you know who?" Yes, my matchmaking was back on the cards. I scooped up Waddles and waited or Wendy to continue her story. Wendy waved her hand dismissively and turned to the next page in her magazine.

"Yes Mabel, you're right. Something did happen." She said sarcastically. "Dipper figured out what was happening immediately, told me we were going to be fine and then we just waited it out." I sighed and put Waddles back on the ground. She wasn't going to play ball and she'd survived my interrogation. 

Crash.

A kid, had just knocked over a "real" cornicorn (a unicorn comprised of ears of corn). Wendy jumped to her feet and bounded over to the boy. Just as she passed me I noticed a slight red mark her cheeks. I placed my suspecticles back on.

Wendy's point of view.

My god, Mabel is so intense with her questioning. At least this dumb tourist has given me the chance to get out of her firing line. The kid started to sob thinking he'd done something wrong. 

"Hey kid, it's cool. There's loads of..." I glanced at the exhibits name. "... cornicorns running around still." Jesus Stan is so terrible at naming these things. I looked down at the corn spread all over the floor. Well I guess this means snacks for movie night are already sorted.
