Reverse Falls: Triangle switch

The Dinner

(POV Mable Pines)

Dipper, Will and I, all sat awkwardly together in silence in a booth. Will gleefully looking at the menu sitting next to my brother, scooted very close to him, trapping him in the booth. We had gone to the dinner on a wim I had. And lucky us, there weren't many people here at the moment. Lazy Susan had told us when we walked in that we just missed the lunch rush. There were only about 2 other people in the dinner, and they were sitting on the other side of the room, so we were free to talk how we wanted. Though we weren't doing much of that.

And earlier, I HAD to interrupt the discussion, I couldn't take it. Will looked so scared.. Remembering what told us, why wouldn't he. How could my brother do that to someone... I- I have to remember its not my brother that did it...

"Oooo, can I get this Dipper?" Will said in excitement interrupting my thoughts, pointing at some waffles loaded with strawberries and whipped cream. I couldn't help but smile at that. I was happy he was enjoying himself. And my brothers discomfort was hilarious.

"Yea man, get whatever you want." Dipper said with a awkward smile. Then looking at me nervously, in a cry for help. When we had gotten here Will insisted Dipper sit with him in the booth. And my brother didn't really have a choice.

"We could share." He says, looking at Dipper with the most innocent smile. Before looking down at his menu again, "I mean.. If you would like."

"Uhh.. Sure. But um I have to go to the bathroom." Dipper says excusing himself from the table. Will lets him out of the booth before returning to his seat. He watches my brother walk away, only looking away when he's out of view. Then returning to look at the menu.

"Will, you do know that's not your Dipper right?" I say hesitantly

"Yea." Will says nonchalant with the same smile, you can here the creak of the old wooded booth as his feet swing back and forth under the table. His eye still focused on the menu, "Do you think dipper wants bacon or sausage with his waffles?"

"He's not your Dipper, meaning, he doesn't have feelings for you like your Dipper does.. Even if I don't agree with how your Dipper treated you, he's the one who has feelings for you, not this one." I plea.

"My Dipper liked sausage, meaning this one likes bacon right?" He ignores me, still not looking up from his menu.

"Are you even listening to me? This Dipper doesn't love you!." I raise my voice.. Oops. Will looks at me with a slightly shocked expression, with a hint of fear and disgust. He then gentle refolds his menu before putting it down and closing his eye and resting his hands on top of it, before releasing a breath and opening his eye. Then making eye contact with me for the first time since we sat down. He had been to busy watching my brothers every move.

"I know that.. But, he's kind to me. Please don't ruin this for me.. This is the closes I've gotten to having a meal with Dipper since.. Our date. Anyway, please don't ruin this."

"I don't think you understand, if your Dipper loved you, then this world's Dipper has the opposite emotion for you. Meaning..."

"He hates me.." He says to himself looking into the void of air, bringing himself into his own thoughts. He looked as though he was in great pain again, his hands turned into knuckles as if he was trying to clench something, some idea or thought. His pupil was as small as a needle tip. His body slowly recoiling.  Then out of no where he closes his eye and shakes his head with a small smile and a release of tiny laugh from his mouth as he loosens his grip of his hands revealing marks where his nails had dug in. "No.. No.. He doesn't hate me, he hates Bill. Who is the opposite of me. But now Bills gone. He took my place, and now I get to live here. Now Dipper can live happily without him. He can live happily with me."

"What happen to, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Hmm?"

"Well.. Dipper said Bill was evil and a bad guy.. So, its all good. Right?"

"But.."

"Mable!" He clenches his fists again looking at me with a stern expresion, before releasing and looking at me with wanting in his eye "please.." He begs. When he said please, he gave a very weak smile. It hurt my heart. There are obviously holes in his way of thinking. But I don't have it in me to push him any further. I brought him here to give him a break, not ingratiate him more.  I open my menu and look at it, before returning my view towards him.

"Dipper likes bacon by the way." I say looking up at him with a grin.

"Thank you." Will says.

"Your welcome." I say, reassuring him. I feel as though I've gained his trust with this small action. I hope I can help him more.

Not before long I hear the bathroom door open, and just as fast I gained it, if not faster, Will's view turns toward it in preparation for my brothers reveal. When met with it the  xhilaration on his face was of that of a dog seeing its owner after a long time. He looked as thought he could die from excitement. He preemptively gets out of his seat so Dipper can get back in. Offering his hand to help.

"Thanks.." Dipper said as he took his hand and stepped back into the booth.  Will following behind anxiously as if time is being so slow and he can't wait any longer to sit next to him.

"So I was thinking we could have the waffles with bacon." Will says pointing at the menu and then returning his look towards Dipper waiting patiently for his response.

"Yea, that sounds great actually."

"Sweet, I knew you would like that."

I notice Dipper give a smile, this one seemed genuine.

"Are we all ready to order?" I asked.

"Yep!" Will says in response.

I wave down Lazy Susan so she can take are order. She notices me and makes her way towards us.

"So what can I get started for yea?"

"I'll have a order of pancakes with a lot of whipped cream and sprinkles. With a hot coco with the same. And don't go cheating me with those marshmallows Susan." I ordered, using my tough guy voice.

"Okay!" She says in response, "and for you two?"

"We'll have the order of waffles with whipped cream and strawberries please. With bacon and hash browns." Will orders, each word he says has more enthusiasm than the last.

"And we'll share a triple chocolate ice cream Sunday smoothy with wip and strawberries and bacon bits." Dipper adds. What was he doing, I thought it was weirded out by this whole thing. On the other hand Will couldn't look happier.

"Is that with one or two straws?"

"Two! Yes indeed two. Heheh" Dipper adds quickly with a nervous laugh.

"Okay I'll have it out shortly love birds."

"Uh no, you uh, have it all wrong! Were not love.. Birds.. And Shes gone."

"If were not love birds than why did you want to share a smoothy? Hm?" Will says with a smirk.. That cocky little..

"Well um. You know, because I wanted you to try it. But its huge so I thought we could split it. You know?"

"Right.." He says with the same witty smirk.

"Heh, you guys are cute." I laugh.

"Maablee." Dipper groans at me.

Then the bell of the dinner door rings, interrupting this happy moment.

If you enjoyed. Leave a star. It helps a lot.
