Gravity Pines

Part 16: The Truth

(( So I have been absent a few weeks. I know I said every Sunday but this was my first holiday I went back to visit my mom's grave, no point hiding fact. XD No need to send messages of condolences, just letting you all know the measure of why I was gone. Two years since she passed and I had even been to the grave so... ya just took a lot out of me. Still I want to tell you all who have been reading and who will read, thank you from the bottom of my heart, this is a passion of mine and just seeing someone having read my work is amazing, anything else is a pleasant bonus, even if it's to tell me I did something wrong or you didn't agree, opinions and critique are what help lead a writer to a better grasp of telling their story. )) 

The next week was a bit fun to say the least, Gruncle Stan had once more taken up the mantle to draw up Summerween as Ford joined in with him to make up the Shack for the big event, a few of the mystery monsters were glad to be hired for a tour that would scare and delight people of all ages, maybe even create new posts this year about the "Fake" creatures used to draw in tourists.

" DIPPPERRRRR!!! We have to hurry or else we won't have matching costumes!!! " I was stirred awake by Mabel as she shook me violently on my bed, I was so use to growing up with her that I never got into the habit of sleeping in just boxers, or worst the buff, but still it was so unsettling how being in T-shirt and boxers would not bother her in the least still, but what the hell she was too good of a sis to mind anything she did. " Come on come on come on we gotta get into town! "

" Sheeesh ok ok ok. I still gotta shower and wake up. Shoo shoo. " I was sleepy enough to try and get her to leave like Waddles, but at least she just laughed it off and sped her way downstairs like a plane. No matter how old she gets I doubt she will lose that wonder about herself. Needless to say I woke up with a smile and made myself up, washing up and dressing up to get into town as Mabel almost dragged me along while heading towards the Summerween store so we could find costumes, or order them at least because she was so determined to get something fun.

" O.M.G. Look at this place! It's so much cooler! " Mabel had such a shine to her eyes as she looked around, trying not to pick up everything she wanted to use for her business, she soon wandered towards the back of the store to look at the adult outfits we could fit in now, passing a few other people along the way and giving a wave or quick hello since I knew Mabel would hunt me down if I was gone for a moment. Resting my hands in my pockets, I feel the material of my shirt roll up some and quickly push it back before placing my hands more carefully into my pockets, only to have my fore arms gripped as Mabel stood before me with that worried look. " You ok?  "

" Haha. Sheesh Mabel I can't fidget without you worrying. I am fine. Just not ready to... y'know, have them out. " Mabel looked at my arms while I pulled away gently to show I didn't want to be held. Reaching up I ruffle her hair a bit and smile wide. " Get any ideas for what we can go as? And before you suggest no we will not be the Super Twins... I don't do tights. "

" Aww.. and here I thought you would look smashing in them. " IK almost freeze before Mabel squeeled and lung hugged Pacifica in but a second. Each of them sharing a good hold before resting arms over shoulders and waist, side by side and best of friends as they always really had been deep down. " So What is the deal with no tights? "

" Pssshhhh Dipper thinks he will look goofy in them. Like every girl didn't secretly think he had a good bod in high school. "

" Maaaaabeelllll!!! " I groan out and cover my bright face, peeking out to see both giggling and clearly exposing their desire to make me this way, I lower my hand and reply to their taunting laughs. " Aha. Aha... sooo funny. So what's up Pacifica? What brings you here? " I fold my arms and suddenly get dunked with a bucket over my head, it was plastic but still had that impact surprise.
