Gravity Falls REBORN

Macie VS Dipper and Mabel's Future

You guys are good! Yes, last chapter's title is a nod to the soundtrack Spider Dance by Toby Fox for Undertale. Muffet is one of my favorite characters from the game!

I couldn't sleep last night. How could I? After what happened with Bill, who could fall asleep after that? So I lay awake all night (I might have fallen asleep for a minute or two here and there) and when it's finally morning, I get up before the twins. Of course, I should have known Mabel was awake at this time, too.

I wince when I hop off the last step of the ladder and see her after it's too late. She gasps and jumps up. "Macie! What're you doin' up? Wanna help me wake up Dippn' Dots?" She's gluing  googly eyes to her chin. 'What the...oh...'

"Uh, Mabel, won't gluing those on be hard to take off later?" I point to the poor craftsmanship on her face.

"What?" her eyes strain to look down, "Nah! I'm fine! Hey, you remember Mr. Upside-Downington, right?"

"Uh, I know him from the show, but if you're asking from our supposed childhood...then no, sorry."

The girl's face droops in disappointment, but brightens soon after. "That's okay! Now help me wake Dipper!" She jumps up in bed, craft stuff going everywhere, and hops over to Dipper's, climbing up and positioning herself over his resting body.

"What do you want me to do?" I gesture my hands in a questioning manner. 'Seriously, what would she possibly want me to do?!'

"Uhhh." She looks around indecisively. "Just stay there!" I roll my eyes and lean on half my weight, but stay where she said to.

The male twin's eyes slowly open and blink awake. He screams since Mabel is right on top of him. "Mornin' Dipper! Guess who!" Mabel says in a different voice than her usual.

Said boy rubs his bleary eyes and then rolls them, sitting up and tilting his head. "Oh, what joy. If it isn't Mr. Upside-Downington. How long's it been? Third grade, maybe?"

"That's right. And I'm here to deliver you an upside-downington-tastic message!" The googly eyes wobble about when Mabel moves.

Dipper eyes me, "Is it the message that we're getting too old for this sort of thing?" he asks joking with a slight smile

Mabel quits speaking weirdly and tilts her hand, sitting correctly now on Dipper's bed. "Um, kinda, actually. It's that we are exactly one week away from our 13th birthday!"

We all look to the calendar Mabel has pinned up on the wall beside her bed. In a big red circle is the date for August 31st with three adult figures cut out from a magazine and our three faces taped on top, making us look older.

"Why are you guys making such a big deal about turning teenagers? You become real adults at eighteen, but able to drive at sixteen...there's literally every other number that you should be making a big deal about." The twins look at me like I'm some kind of Dream Demon with a top hat.

Both of their jaws hang open as they continue to stare blankly at me.

"Macie...Macie, Macie, Macie..." Dipper tsks while shaking his head. I raise my hand in a 'what?!' manner. The boy sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, "Turning the big one-three is a milestone! When you become a teenager, you can do all sorts of things! First, you're not a kid anymore...you're a teen!" 

"Second!" Mabel happily raises her finger with excitement, "you can finally watch PG-thirteen movies!"

"Third!" Dipper starts up again, "you can finally hang out with the cool kids...the teens! Like Wendy!" 

*Couch* "Obsessed much?" *Cough* I 'hack' into my fist.

Pine Tree stops his daydreaming and glares at me.
