Bound for all Eternity (Sock Opera AU)

Mabel's New Crush of the Week

It was a cloudy day in Gravity Falls, the sun was still rising giving a red light shining in the town's library windows. People were either reading, checking out books or taking part of an event in the library today.

In the far back area in the library, two kids sat over by the table windows these kids were Dipper and Mabel Pines. They've been in Gravity Falls for about a month this summer with their Great Uncle Stan Pines, owner of the Mystery Shack, during their stay, Dipper found a Journal that explains the mystical weirdness in Gravity Falls and almost everyday he and his twin sister go on these amazing and strange adventures in the town and undiscovering the mysteries in the journal and the town itself. But the one mystery remains in Dipper's mind, who wrote the journal? and who's the author of it? 

After finding a hidden secret bunker in the woods, where Dipper found the journal, one of the twins friends Soos, who works in the Mystery Shack as a handyman, found a very old laptop and got it fixed, and that's the reason why Dipper and Mabel are at the library.

"Alright Mabel, today's the big day." said Dipper, "Big day!" Mabel cheered, Dipper pulled the laptop out of his backpack and got it set up, "Soos finally fixed the laptop. If this thing works, we could learn the identity of The Author and unravel the greatest mysteries of Gravity Falls. You ready?" said Dipper.

Mabel replied seriously "Oh, I'm ready, baby. " and by 'serious' she holds up a pop-up book and opens and closes a page of an actual baby while saying "Ma-ma." in a baby voice. Dipper did his best to ignore his sister's antics of being goofy while everything around them is a very serious matter. He turned on the laptop and all of his hope had started to rise, "This is it. This is it." the words 'Welcome.' displayed itself onto the screen. The laptop is working. "Aha! It worked." Dipper cheered in excitement as he and Mabel did their secret twin handshake "Blip, blap, bloobity bloop, twins."

But that excitement had died when a alarm buzzer went off and the screen changes with the words 'UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FORBIDDEN' and changes again to 'Enter Password' Dipper felt like he should hit his head for being stupid, "Ugh! Of course, a password." although, Mabel didn't see anything wrong about it so she reassures Dipper by saying, "Don't you worry, bro bro. With your brains and my laser focus, there is literally nothing that can distract us from..." Only to get distracted by music playing not to far from them. "Did you hear that?"

Over by the toddler baby books section in the library, is a young looking boy about thirteen years old preforming a little puppet show musical for little kids. "All my life I've been dreamin' of a love that's right for me. And now I finally know her name and it's..." the boy pause his singing and spoke to his audience "sing it with me kids." the kids and the boy said it in sync "Literacy!"

The puppet bee spoke, "I finally understand what all the buzz is about. Reading!" then the book puppet said, "Give me some of that honey!" the puppets kiss passionately as the boy laugh with joy in his heart.

But he wasn't the only one who's heart is filled with emotions, strong emotion feelings. Mabel brought up the pop-up book again only this time the page was a heart. "Ba bump. Ba bump." She was in love again. Badly in love. And Dipper can only summon up two words that describe this terrible moment, "Oh boy."

"Haha. Thank you, thank you." Said the boy, as Mabel watches from afar with puppy love in her eyes, "Just when I was getting over Mermando, of course, you show up at my doorstep." Dipper didn't bother to feel anything for his sister's last crush, sense she practically ruined his chances for a summer job and spending sometime with Wendy, a employee at the Mystery Shake and was Dipper's secret admire, and not to mention that she tricked him into giving revers CPR and use it as Blackmail on him for kissing a guy.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about Mermando. Did not care for Mermando." Hopefully he will find where she hid her blackmail stash and destroys them, after he crack the code for the laptops password. Taking a book off from a shelf, Dipper walk back to where they were sitting. "Okay, this cryptology book says that there's 7.2 million 8-letter words. I'll type, you read. Okay, Mabel?" she didn't answer back, "Mabel?" She wasn't at her chair. "Figures." 

The puppet boy continues to sing to the kids "That's why we don't stick our hands in-" the kids chimed in, "Other people's mouths." "Hey, I'm Gabe Benson, ya'll. Good night!" The puppet boy, Gabe, called out as the kids left the library with their parents, leaving Gabe to talk to his puppets A.K.A. himself "Hey, good job today, you guys." Bee puppet, "You were late on your cue!" Book puppet, "WHAT?" Gabe interviene "Hey hey, be good to each other. We're all stars."

And at that moment, Mabel rolls into the scene. Literally, on a book cart "Hey! Guess who's Mabel! I am. Care to learn more? I bet you do. You like to learn- WAA" she falls off the cart after trying to pose cute and flirty to Gabe, "And I'm up!" and gets back up again. "Oh, hey, I'm Gabe. Master of puppets. Nice to meet you." Gabe greets her with a puppet handshake.

Soon they were in a conversation about puppets "You're amazing with those puppets." said Mabel, as she crawl under the stage curtain "Really?" said Gabe as his voice became sad,"A lot of people think puppets are dumb, or, just for kids or something." Mabel then lied to her new found crush hoping that he'll like her, "Are you kidding me? I'm puppet-CRAZY! People call me Puppet-Crazy-Mabel!" "Really?" and it seem to work.

"People used to call me Puppet-Crazy-Gabe! So when's your next puppet show?" sort of, " My huh?" Gabe explains "I mean, you can't truly love puppets if you're not throwing puppet shows, right?" Mabel felt like she was a deer caught in headlights, but she didn't show her nervousness as she tried to keep lying "Ha, yeah, I mean I'm TOTALLY working on a puppet show." Gabe bought Mabel's lie "Oh, what are the details?" she did not expect him to say this, "There are soooo many details..." Mabel did the only thing she could think of.

Meanwhile, Dipper was working hard on finding the password only to get a buzzing getting a little frustrated at his luck, and no sooner or later, Mabel returns looking somewhat guilty. Not even turning around to face her, Dipper ask "So, how'd it go?" Mabel then ask her brother a question "Dipper, how hard do you think it'd be to write and compose a sock puppet rock opera with lights, original music and live pyrotechnics by Friday?"

The laptop let out another fail access buzzing beep, "What?" Dipper couldn't believe his sister, he turns around and grabs her and said "Mabel, are you serious?" 'What the hell were you thinking!?' he thought, Mabel spilled everything to him "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I got lost in his eyes and his ponytails and I'm gonna be so embarrassed on Friday if I don't have ANYTHING."

'Ugh! Why can't Mabel cut back on her boy craziness already?' Dipper thought irritatedly but said "What about cracking this password? You know, mystery twins?" he tries to fist bump, but nothing. Mabel got down on her knees and cup her hands together beggingly and says "If you help me with this for JUST a couple of days I promise I'll help with the password! Please, pretty please!" She then whispers "It's for love, Dipper."

Dipper hated how Mabel gets like this, and he hates himself for going along with it. With a heavy heart, Dipper answers "All right, okay-" but he never got the chance to finish his sentence because Mabel jump hugged him screaming with excitment "YES! THANK YOU!! THIS GUY! HE'S NUMBER ONE!!!"

Mabel's shouts had every head turning towards their direction, most of them with looks of 'what's going on over there?' and 'do you mind?' Dipper tries to calm her down, "Okay, okay, okay, shhhh..." but with her exciting mood, it's best to leave the library and get to work. "I can't wait to get to the bottom of this laptop. We're close to something big here; I can feel it..."

Little did he and Mabel know that a certain triangle dream demon was fallowing them in the shadows.
