Unnoticed

Punishment

Dipper POV:

She really did it. Mabel Pines, my sister, actually told Gruncle Stan the entire story. I was speechless, and upset that she had used my old bullies. I sat there in shock as Grunvle Stan and I processed the whole thing. She sat there, her fear and nervousness obvious in her eyes and her fidgetting.

"S-So, now that you know the whole truth, I want to deeply apologize-" She stood up and bowed deeply, her hair almost touching the ground, "to both you Gruncle Stan, and to you Dipper. I want to make everything up to you for all these years."

Gruncle Stan turned to me and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Look, Kid." He took a deep breath. "I-I wanna apologize to you for not getting yur side or even thinking of how you felt. I want to-"

"It's okay Gruncle Stan." I held up a hand. He seriously looked like he was gonna have a stroke from all the emotions.

"Oh thank God." He let out a sigh. "Anyway, you know what I'm getting at." He ruffled my hair and clapped. "Welp! Time to open the Shack. We'll talk about Mabel's punishment later."

I felt a ping of Joy that Mabel would get punished for her lies. She walked up to me and held my hand in hers.

"Dipper, please, I want to be your sister, for real."

I opened my arms for an awkward sibling hug and we did.

"Pat Pat."

We seperated and went to work. Wendy was here and Mabel told her the truth as well. Wend apologized over and over aboit how she should have confirmed things with me and how she shouldn't have judged.

I told her it was alright, but honestly, I couldn't wait for the time I would spend with Bill. When lunch rolled around I walked outside after saying goodbye to Mabel and headed to the clearing.

"Hey Bill."

Pinetree~! He hugged me with his usual smile.

"Can you tell me your plan?"

He stopped and looked in thought.

Well, I am gonna gain enough power to set my fellow demons free and spread weirdness everywhere!

"How are you gonna gain that power?"

I need old Sixer to come back from the multiverse and when that happens, the universe will tear and let me slip through.

"Sixer?"

He is the actual Gruncle Stanford, your Gruncle is his twin brother Stanly. Stanford has a birth defect that gives him six fingers on each hand.

"Cool."

Really? You have a demon boyfriens and you think six fingers is cool?

I chuckled, "Well, you're obviously cooler Bill."

He struck a ridiculous pose that made me laugh.

Any more questions?

I thought for a bit. Soon, we had laid out a detailed plan about how to do this. I even suggested we name it 'Weirdmageddon' and Bill happily agreed.

Wow Pinetree, you really helped me cover all angles on this plan.

"Why thank you Bill, keep in mind thay if you don't follow this plan, they could defeat us."

He laughed, that crazy maniac laugh that I loved. Why Pinetree, with you and me together, no one could defeat us.

I pulled him down by his collar and kissed his nose, "Remember, stick to the plan." I smiled, and I felt that insane smile to the core of my heart.

Pinetree, when you smile like that it makes my heart flutter.

I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"I've got to go now Bill." As I was about to step out of the clearing I stopped. "Oh, and Bill?"

Hm~?

"Thanks for Mabel." I heard a chuckle as I stepped out.

Bill POV:

"Thanks for Mabel."

I chuckled, No problem... I waited until he stepped out ..My Pinetree~.

And then, I left the clearing in complete silence.

Mabel POV:

I felt like a guilty weight that I had never realized was there was slowly getting lighter every time I told the truth to someone that I had lied to. It would not fully dissapear until I told Mom and Dad, and even then I knew it would still haunt me.

Dipper got back from lunch looking happy. I wonder where he goes? None of my business though. We got back to work and finished the day.

Gruncle Stan POV:

I have been trying to think of a good punishment for Mabel, but I was stuck. This is why I never had kids, that and commitment. I shivered. Maybe I should ask Dipper? No, he would probably want some kind of revenge.

I stood in thought for a moment. Then, an idea hit me, litterally, someome was messing around and had flung a sign that said idea my way. I made them pay for damages.

Maybe, Mabel could....

Dipper POV:

I was tired by the end of the day and really just wanted to rest. I had just sat down with Mabel beside me when Gruncle Stan walked back to us.

"I have decided!"

We both sat straight and looked at him with anticipation.

"Dipper, I am giving you permission to go and take breaks as long as you want whenever you want."

I was really happy, that would let me continue my work on plants and potions.

"And Mabel, whenever he is gone, you must not only do your work, but his as well."

She sighed, "Well, at least it's not as bad as what Mom and Dad will do."

She smiled at me. "Take as many breaks as you need Dip-Dop!"

I smiled back and squeezed her hand. Gruncle Stan seemed satisfied and we all headed off to bed.

"Mabel?"

"Yeah Dipper?"

"Thanks for saying that, and for keeping your word."

She smiled and patted my back. "No problem Bro Bro."

We brushed our teeth and got ready for bed.

"Goodnight Dipper."

"Goodnight Mabel."

We both drifted off into a peaceful sleep, where I would be met with Bill. And Mabel with whatever she dreamed about. I smiled and slipped into sleep.
