Unbelievable Love

Chapter 4

*Note: Still in the same episode from the last two chapters.*

Why was she so annoyed with me? Did I do something wrong?' I followed her regardless.

'What is with the sudden change of attitude towards me? Did I do something wrong? Was it because I like her? My crush on her is going away but I thought we were going to push past the whole ordeal. We made it clear that she was too old for me and I understand and respect her but what happened?'

I guess I was so lost in thought that I bumped straight into Wendy. I quickly mumbled an apology and noticed where we were at. Wendy took us to Gideon's father's car dealership warehouse. The place seems abandoned, hopefully, it is. My main concern was the attention of us driving might cause but I didn't voice out my concerns. I am afraid of annoying her more. I turned on autopilot and just followed Wendy around. She found a car for us and was about to break into it when a spotlight turned on us.

"Well, well, well. It looks like we got ourselves a ground walking around walker. Ain't got no wheels" That is a voice I don't recognize. Shit. Who did we stumble upon?

"Auto warriors, we just want to make it that bubble out east," Wendy reasoned.

"We have no quarrel with you," I tried to pitch in to appear friendly.

"Oh, that is where you are wrong," Oh no. Who did we piss off?

"Hands in the air." Another unfamiliar voice.

"Ya, fellers ain't going nowhere."

"Fellers?" Wendy wondered. There is only one person that ways "fellers."

"Wait, Gideon?" Behind that spotlight was Gideon and some bikers. Gideon is wearing a blue cowboy suit. 'How fitting.' One of the bikers had no pupils. It was incredible. I would have been questioning him on how he could see if it weren't for the fact that he was loyal to Gideon.

"That is right! " Gideon says as he removes the microphone, "Under the authority of Bill, I place you under arrest!" His voice them turned sweet, "Hi Wendy, have we formally met?"

Some bakers started to surround us and then proceeded to push us towards Gideon. With the spears that they had, they push us towards the ground. Gideon then cheered in a cowboy way.

"Look what the apocalypse dragged in. Y'all are at a twelve-piece bucket of deep-fried trouble now! Ghosteyes. Platoon," with that he snapped his fingers and Ghoteyes brought a vase for Gideon to spit out some gum. Gross.

I make a sound of disgust and said, "it's Gideon."

"Ew. Gideon got even folksier." 'Not a word but okay.'

Gideon ignored our remarks and started to say, "My old pal Bill figured that you might try to rescue Mabel." 'Of course, he is working for Bill.' "so he appointed me as master of these wastelands," Gideon turned to Mabel's bubble, "and keeper of the bubble! My sweet, precious Mabel is trapped inside and I have the only key," 'Thank you for being stupid enough to tell us that you have the key to my sister's bubble.' "wrapped around my-," Gideon paused a bit to think, "Well, I wouldn't call it a neck exactly. Wrap around a pocket of fat under my head." That kid. Who does he think he is. Does he really think he can own Mabel? She is a free spirit!

"Gideon! You have no right to keep her in there!" I scream.

"Bill explained it to me nice and simple," of course he did, "she was always destined to be mine," 'really? It is obvious that he is manipulating you,' "and now that I have her in a cage, she will learn to love me. I have an eternity to wait." Okay. That just pissed me off. "Ghosteyes," he snapped his fingers again, "ready to escort our friend to Bill's dungeon?'

Ghosteyes picked us both up and I begin to struggle. Wendy, on the other hand, did not resist and looked at me annoyed and then look at Gideon with the same expression.

"That isn't going to work. Gideon."

"Oh, and why is that?" Gideon said in a smug tone.

"Cause I am going to break Ghosteyes's arm and steal the key from your neck. I'm going to were your butt like a rhinestone slipper. More than what Dipper could do." 'In a way, I guess that is true.' My whole body slumped in defeat. I hear laughter all around me. Were they making fun of me? Or are they laughing because they believed that Wendy won't be able to do all that?

"I guess that is true but what makes you think that you can do all that?" I guess I am pretty useless. Why do I even bother?

"Cause I am a fucking Courdory!" Wendy did all that she said she would and I just followed her. Autopilot back on again. Wendy was threatening them to kick him or something. I did not care at the moment. I just followed her. She was right after all. I can't do anything cool like her. Next thing you know I was in a car that she hijack and going through weirdness bubbles. I guess we were being chased. I muffled everything out once I knew that Wendy was insulting me on how I could never do anything useful. That I am only useful when I have the journals to guide me. Even when the weirdness bubbles showed us terrifying things, no reaction came out of me. Until Ghosteyes and Gideon were ramming their truck against our car did I wake back up to reality.

"Wendy, we are almost there," I said while pointing the front of us, "We just have to make that jump."

"Have you seen around us, we have no chance of making it," Wendy scolded me like I was crazy, "But guess we have to do it. It is our only choice."

Wendy pulled the accelerator and speed even faster, making us fly off the cliff that was in front of us and crash land to safety. I started to crawl out of the car. We were so close. Then a man in a torn, black hooded cloth came rushing straight pass me. Straight to Wendy. Of course. No one cares about me. The guy turned out to be Soos. He apologized for not noticing me but I don't think he meant it. I noticed that we were surrounded and I tried to warn Soos and Wendy. But Wendy kept on yelling at me to stop ruining their moment. For once I was glad that Gideon spoke out

"We got you surrounded. There is no escaping now," Gideon pulls our a horn and blows on it, "Bill's hell bats will be here any minute now to retrieve y'all. Mabel is mine now!"

"But is she?" I said.

"Well yeah. I have her trapped therefore Mabel is mine!"

"Gideon listen to me. If I have learned anything this summer is that you can't force someone to love you." I looked at Wendy for a bit but she and Soos seem like they are in their own world. "The best you can do," I continued to say in a sad tone, "is strive to be someone worthy of loving."

"Oh I am worthy of loving," Gideon is now offended but he was starting to doubt himself, "these prisoners love me." His buddies cheered for him.

"But Mabel doesn't. Because you are selfish," like h-, "but you can change. If you fight back against Bill, you could be her hero. Let us save her."

"That is crazy. You know what Bill will do to me if that happens."

"What are you scared of Bill?" Ghosteye pitches in.

"No. I just," Gideon stumbled out his words, "It is a complicated situation."

"Look inside Gideon," I said with more confidence, "if all this is for Mabel, then ask yourself what Mabel would want you to do."

"Dipper, will you tell her what I did?"

"Of course."

"I hope you are right about this."

Gideon seemed to agree to fight back. Gideon and his gang were quick to go away to be Mabel's hero. I am glad that that was dealt with. Now back to my friends.

"Finally you did something useful." That was the first thing Wendy said. So much of obtaining confidence.

"Okay remember guys, this is a prison bubble designed by Bill. We've got to prepare ourselves to what we find in here."

"Yeah, whatever. Let's just go inside. For Mabel" Soos said as he started to go in with Wendy behind him.

"For Mabel." She said.
