ACTION LIKE A REBEL

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper comes into their room, looking a little shellshocked. He has just been having a ...interesting conversation, after all.]

You'll never guess who I was just talking to. [A beat. He looks over at her.] ...no, you really won't.

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel is laying upside down on her bed, balancing a stuffed animal on her feet.] ....Santa Claus? The Easter Bunny? [she kicks the stuffed animal up into the air, sits up quickly, and tries to catch it, only to have it land on her head instead.] Waugh! Um... Oh I know! Your future self! From the future!

[krmvgivv]

Good guesses. But not quite. [He sits on his bed, looking across the room at her. Then he checks the cover they've got over the mirror. Just to be safe, he presses play on the cd player they've got, sending the upbeat sound of BABBA throughout the room.

He doesn't trust mirror Mabel not to be listening in now. Or someone worse.]

Your Mirror. She wrote a message to me in code. [A beat.] Atbash, in case you were wondering, which is kind of appropriate for a mirror.

backdated to right after shattered sight

[krmvgivv]

[When the glass clears from Dipper's eyes, he sort of wants to hide from the entire world and never speak to anyone ever again as he slowly dies from embarrassment.

Unfortunately, that's sort of hard to do when you share your bedroom with your sister. Yeah, he could technically go find another room or keep hanging out in the caves like he was doing towards the end of the event, but that would feel even weirder. And now that the glass is out of his eyes, the anger that was keeping him from talking to her seems dumb and fighting with Mabel always makes him feel awful.

So he heads back to their room, but not before stopping at a closet to grab a peace offering. He knocks on the door, hoping she's in there. He lost track of her during the event, so he's not sure anymore.]

Hey, Mabel?

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel's presently sitting in the middle of her bed hiding inside her sweater. there's about ten sweaters strewn around her, all of them snagged and unpleasant looking with angry designs, like someone was knitting out of fury and didn't care about quality.

She feels so icky, and hearing Dipper's voice just makes it worse.]

There's no Mabel here.

[krmvgivv]

Oh, no.

[He pushes open the door, walking over to sit next to her on the bed. This is his fault, at least partially, and he feels terrible about it. He sets down his peace offering in front of her.]

Well, there's a tub of rainbow sprinkles the size of your head waiting for you if you want to come out of Sweatertown.

[krmvgivv]

Hey, Mabel? [Dipper is sitting with a book in his lap, though he hasn't turned the page in a while.] Valentine's Day probably doesn't exist in Westeros, right? Do you think I have to do something for it?

[She's a girl. She knows these things.]

1/2

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel's in the corner, aggressively knitting more scarves, despite the event being over. it's possible that she believes Henry must require a great deal of scarves and that's her Valentine's plan.]

Of course not, bro-bro.

2/2

[powerofmabel]

[she then grabs one of her throwpillows and throws it at him.] Uh yeah. You don't want her to feel left out, do you? She's gonna figure out what it is when there's all that amore in the air.

[she pronounces it a-moray, but that's besides the point.]

[krmvgivv]

[The pillow bounces off his head and he sighs and puts it behind his head.] Okay, what do I do, then? Girls are hard.

Left outside her door on V-DAY because HE'S NERVOUS

[henrydaniel]

[So, Henry has this pink scrapbook with all kinds of pretty pastel like spring pages and also a huge amount of Valentine's Day stickers. He also has a box of chocolate, but not heart shaped because that seemed like toomuch? Yes. definitely too much. But it's a box full of chocolate, and a note that reads:

Dear Mabel,

I know I haven't really said anything, but I think you're pretty perfect, and really nice, and I think this is probably the time of year that's great for saying all of that. Because hey, no matter what, there's chocolate.

Anyway, I think it'd be pretty great if you'd be my Valentine. But only if you want to. I hope you really like everything!

- Henry

And then he knocks and leaves because if she doesn't like it all, he's not really sure how to deal with that after the whole Violet thing. HE'S NOT LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH REJECTION other than by crying, and he'd be mortified if he did that in front of her so instead he kind of...just...hopes for the best back in his room.]

[text]

[powerofmabel]

[what Henry doesn't see is the shrieking and bouncing on the bed and the general mayhem that comes from the gifts, and that's before Mabel even imbibes any of the sugar.

It's not long after receiving them however that he gets this text.]

YES.

DEFINITELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

2/23

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper's been acting strange. Between the fact that he's holding about eight text conversations at once and how he's been flipping through the Journal with a certain vigor he hasn't needed since it became clear there was nothing in it to help with Wonderland. Finally, he takes one of Mabel's golf clubs, swinging it thoughtfully, and brings it over to his side of the room. Just in case.]

Mabel, we have to talk about Chara.

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel, as tends to be the case, has been oblivious to things going wrong in Wonderland, though she does seem to be scrapbooking more aggressively than usual. she's in the middle of sealing down some of the candy wrappers from her Valentine's Day candy from Henry when Dipper speaks.]

About Chara? Why? [she raises an eyebrow]

6/1

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper walks into their room and throws himself backwards onto his bed.]

Sansa's gone. I hate Wonderland even more.

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel's flipping through her scrapbook on her own bed, looking pretty depressed herself.]

Yeah, I figured that out when I kept getting stupid stupid pingbacks when I tried to text her earlier.

note slid under her door, thanksgiving day

[determinedest]

[They found a stack of cards written a long time ago. A month ago, they think. There's a post-it note stuck to the top, cheerfully proclaiming - "for Thanksgiving!"

They suppose they should hand them out. There's a...a twinge of something when they look at the topmost one. The one that should go to the bed beside them. The empty bed. Their SOUL starts to...ache.

They swallow. They swallow very, very hard. Screw their eyes shut, blink rapidly. Something's off. Something's different.

They feel...empty. Not empty like they have before.

Worse empty.

They have to make it go away. So they make it go away the only way they can think of. They hand the notes out. Maybe if they do that, it'll go away, and they can feel nothing again. Go back to feeling nothing at all.

So soon Dipper and Mabel will discover two cards slid beneath the door to their room. One is labeled "DIPPER" and the other "MABEL."

On the outside of Mabel's:]



[And within:]

"Dear Mabel,

I hope you don't mind it if I think you guys are family. I've never had a family like this before! It's really big, and I'm glad I met you guys. You're really nice, and you've helped me and Chara so much.

I hope you know that we'll always be there if you need it.

Thanks for everything!

- Frisk! ♥"

12/25; gift left outside her door

[determinedest]

[Mabel, Mabel had been easy. They made her a sweater, and done their best to get her size right. There's no note to indicate who might have left the gift at all, unlike there was on Thanksgiving. But that's for the best. Frisk needs to disappear, and it won't matter if she never figures it out.

The sweater itself is made from a sparkling, tinsel-like yarn. Mabel likes sparkling things, and the yarn had reminded Frisk of a star-studded night sky.

In the center is stitched a green heart. Green for kindness.

Thank you, Mabel.

Good night.]

backdated to the 26th!

[chocolatepudding]

[ Merry Christmas! Or late Christmas, because Dustin pretty much slept through it. After a rather jarringly loud fist-pounding knock on Mabel’s door, she’ll find a stocking left on the ground. If she's quick enough to answer he can probably recognize curls and a favourite hat turning the corner. The stocking is jammed full of things, including:

1. Air Heads (assorted flavours, but more watermelon because those are the best)
2. A small container with only banana flavoured runts
3. Gummy bears (sour and regular)
4. Bubble tape
5. Caramello
6. Nilla wafers
7. Chupa chups
8. Cow tales
9. Gummy cola
10. Nerds
11. Skittles
12. Sour patch kids
13. Fun Dip
14. Pop Rocks

And lastly, just for her:
15. An entire drum of rocky road candy with gummy worms in it. Don’t ask how he got it up the stairs, please.

Propped up is a Christmas card, homemade with probably the worst handwriting known to man: 'Merry Christmas. -Dustin' ]

mirror writing

[wrkkbuivhs]

HEY SIS! WAZZUP?

[powerofmabel]

[oh no.

it can't be.

hesitantly, Mabel picks up one of her dry erase markers that she uses specifically for mirror writing and scribbles:]

...Town darling Dippy Fresh?

text of apology lol

[henrydaniel]

[ Now that he remembers Wonderland, there's something he has to do. ]

Hey, Mabel. I wanted to let you know I remember, now. And I know this really sucks that I grew up. But we can still hang out and you're definitely always going to be awesome.

I'm sorry Wonderland sent me home for so long I got old.

[powerofmabel]

It's not your fault. It's kinda how my love life goes- at least you didn't turn out to be a guy who makes out with puppets or get married to a manatee queen.

Christmas Presents 2017!

[henrydaniel]

[ Henry may or may not feel really guilty even now about the whole...age thing. So, he decides to try and ease the guilt by giving her a ton of Christmas presents which includes:

A box of 180 gel pens, including 40 with glitter.

A stamp and colored pencil set

Heated unicorn slippers

Lisa Frank stickers

A cute sweater

Hey, Mabel,

May the next year be as full of scrapbooks and memories as ever.

Sincerely,

Henry

(backdated to the beginning of Hanukkah)

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Left outside Dipper and Mabel's door, wrapped with a note:

]

Mabel--

Happy Hanukkah.
