Gideon POV

It was finally morning and the next day and we were eating breakfast. "Are you alright Paz?" I asked her at the table. Pacifica looks up from her cereal, "Yeah."

"I'm sorry what happened last night. I didn't know that they were such jerks."

"They aren't jerks Gideon. It was just the cards and they were reading them."

"But their magic isn't real. It all was of an illusion. They were picking on you."

"They don't even know me."

I sigh, "I don't know Pacifica. I still think they are jerks. I mean, I bet those things aren't even real. They were just being mean to you."

"Whose being mean to you?" Dad asked as he came in.

"Uh...just some jerks that we met on the streets." I lied. If I told Dad that we went to the Gleeful Twin's place than I'll be cleaning out the gutters for the rest of my life.

"Who?"

"Don't know." I replied.

Dad scoffed, "I hope it isn't the three mean girls."

"Three mean girls?" Pacifica asked.

"Yeah. Brenda, Grandy, and Marble? I think?"

"I think you got the names wrong, Dad." I replied.

Dad shrugged, "Doesn't matter. They pick on people and make a fool of them over the internet. Cruel people they are. Were they the ones?"

"No." Pacifica replied.

"Who then? I want to crush those jerks like a grape for picking on my niece."

Then the doorbell rang. "NOT IT!" Pacifica shouted before I could. I sigh, "Fine." I then headed to the door and opened it. To my greatest surprise...it was Mabel Gleeful on my door step.

She smiles brightly at the sight of me opening the door. She was wearing black shoes, tights, a skirt, and shirt with a blue vest and ribbon around her neck. Her headband was black with a blue stone. it was just basically what she wore at the performance last night. She flipped some of her hair back and over her shoulder as She smiled, "Hi there!"

I felt very uncomfortable about this and had a really bad feeling about this also, "Uh...hi. What are you doing here?"

She smiled, "Oh, well I saw you last night at the show and you caught my eye. I'm very interested."

"Interested? Me?" I questioned.

She nod her head, "Huh uh. You are different and I like you." Then she stretches out her hand, "I didn't get to properly introduce myself. I'm Mabel Gleeful."

I shook her hand, "Gideon Pines."

"What a wonderful and beautiful name!" She smiled.

"Uh...Sure...uh...thanks I guess..."

She tilted her head, "What's wrong?"

"ummm...."

She pulled some of her hair behind her ear, her hand brushing against her little gem on her headband, "Does it have to deal with that Pacifica girl?"

"How-"

"I'm a mind reader remember." She smirks.

"Well yeah...I guess..."

"I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. It was just the cards. I was Just doing the job. It shouldn't mess with our friendship."

"Friendship?"

"Well yeah. I want to be your friend."

I was surprise about this, "Really? You want to be my friend? Me?" She giggled, "Why not. You are just adorable! After the show, I couldn't get your cute face out of my mind. Couldn't stop talking how adorable you were. You can even ask my brother how long I talked about you."

I blush a little, never been given this much flattery before, "R-Really?"

She nods her head, "Mhm!"

Then Dad called out, "Gideon! Who is it?"

"Uh...Nobody Dad!"

Mabel gave a small smile, "You are Bud Pines' son. I heard that he doesn't like me or my brother."

I rub my arm, "Yeah...sorry about that..."

"Don't worry about that. That's fine. There are people who don't like us and that is fine. Are you going to let that ruin our friendship?"

"I don't think so."

Mabel smiled, "Oh thank you so much! So do you want to hang out later today?"

I thought about it, "I don't see why not but..."

"Ah, Pacifica. She's still down. I would love to apologize but I don't think I can go in to do so."

"I'll tell her that you didn't mean to hurt her. She will be happy to hear that. Maybe she can hang out with us-"

"Not today. I just want us to hang out. I hope that doesn't sound mean." Mabel interrupted me.

"Oh...okay." I replied, "I'll be right back. I'll tell Pacifica and tell my Dad I'm leaving."

"Sounds good to me." Mabel smiled.

I then headed back to the kitchen. "Hey Pacifica can I talk to you for a sec? Alone?"

"Sure, Gideon." She replied. Then we went into another room, which was just the hallway closet because that was the closest room where we could talk alone. 

"Pacifica, Mabel is outside." I explained.

"Mabel Gleeful?" Pacifica asked me.

I nod my head, "Yep and she feels bad that you got hurt from what she said. She didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"Really? Did she really say that?"

"Yeah. She really does feel bad about it."

Pacifica gave a small smile, "So what the cards say was just a trick?"

"I don't know. What she said was the cards didn't lie but she didn't mean to hurt you. Isn't it the real reason?"

Pacifica slowly nods her head, "Yeah, I guess."

I rubbed her shoulder, "Don't worry about it Pacifica. I'm sure your parents aren't getting in a divorce and that you aren't going to die during the summer. I'm sure it was just a show, you know? Words she just thought at the top of her head."

"But some of the things were right and she didn't even know me."

I shrug, "I don't know, Paz. But.-"

"It's fine Gideon. At lease she is sorry. That is the main thing...Tell her I do accept her apology."

I smile widely, "That's great! Now I'm going to go and hang out with her. Cover for me?"

"Sure thing Mystery Cuz." Then Pacifica pulled out her fist and I fist bump her, "Mystery Cuz!" Then I headed out, "Bye Dad! Going to hang out with a friend!" Then I left with mabel.

Mabel and I hanged out around town, exploring the place. I learned she was really fun. I couldn't believe that people will actually think she is mean and a huge jerk. She is really sweet and funny. We spent the whole day going around town and ended up in her family ware-house. We were up on the roof to look over at the view.

"Dipper and I used to come up here when we were younger." Mabel smiled, "I would sometimes try to push him off."

"But you won't let him fall would you? It was just a joke, right?"

Mabel laughs, "Of course! I would never let him fall...at this height."

"What?"

"Oh nothing."

Then she lean back and looks down at the town, "You know...when I'm up here and I look down at those little people...I feel like I'm the queen." Then she looks up at me, "And you can be my king. We can rule this town...together for the rest of our lives."

I look at her, confused on what she was really meaning. She looked at me and smile, "But it is a silly dream."

"It isn't that silly. Everyone wants glory and power."

Mabel chuckled, "Oh You have no idea." Then she smiled softly, "Thank you for spending the day with me Gideon Pines. I had fun. It was one of the best days of my life. I was right about you. You are so cute." She then pinches my cheek, "You are an amazing person Gideon. Don't ever change."

I smiled, giggling slightly, "I won't."

She smiled, "That's good." Then she got up and ran her fingers through her long hair, "We should get going. I hate to say goodbye but your father would be worrying about you." I got up and brush off the dirt of my clothes, "I guess so. I had fun Mabel."

She smiled too, "Me too."

Then we headed down from the building and Mabel walked me home. I got home and it was about dinner time.

"Who were you hanging out son?" Dad asked me.

"A friend. Didn't Pacifica tell you?"

"Yeah but-"

"Just a new friend. It's fine Dad. Maybe you will meet them later."

"Okay, son."

Then after dinner, I went up to Pacifica room, where she was reading the journal. "Hey Paz!" I smiled.

"So how was your date?" Pacifica smiled.

"It wasn't a date, Pacifica. Just a hang out." I replied as I sat on her bed.

"A hang out? Really Gideon. I heard that she thinks you are adorable. She is going to fall in love with you."

"I'm not that cute." I replied.

Pacifica came and pinch my cheek and shook it gently, "Oh yes you are, cutie pie!" She mocked me. I slap her hand away, "Stop! She isn't going to fall in love with me. That's crazy! We are just friends who are hanging out. She is really nice and funny."

"Oh please, I know girls Gideon. If we like a boy and they give us a bone...we will go for it and once we get a grip...Then we don't stop. You are sure digging yourself in a hole."

"We are just friends!"

"For now."

"Why do you doubt me?"

"Because I've been reading through the journal Gideon. There is even a page about mermaids and how they are sirens. Girls are sirens!"

"Mabel isn't a mermaid."

"I know that...maybe..."

"Pacifica."

"Just kidding! But seriously Gideon, be careful of Mabel. She might just fall in love and you can't do anything about it."

"I will, I will, don't worry about it."

"Okay. I trust you."

Dipper POV

"Oh he is so cute!" Mabel continues her long...very long...talk about her new toy. I wasn't really paying any attention if I am being honest. Only reading journal 1 this time and made small comments like, "uh huh" "Sure" "I agree" "Cool". She soon caught on I wasn't listening and she smacked at the back of my head, "Ow!"

"Are you even listening?!" She hisses.

"Why would you care? I don't care how cute he is or how amazing he is or anything about him! I really don't care for him!" I shouted as I rubbed the back of my head.

Mabel rolled her eyes, "You are such a di-"

"Watch your tongue sister," I snapped.

Mabel cried out in frustration, "You are such a nuisance! I hate you! I can't believe that I get stuck with you for the rest of my life! Gideon is better than you! I would take Gideon as my brother any day!"

"Then you can't date him." I smirked.

Mabel growled.

I snickered, "Got you there. Now would you stop talking about that twerp!"

Mabel then wraps her arms around me and pulled me close to make me even more irritated, "That twerp is going to be your brother in law, Dipper, so be nice." I tried jerking away from her but she held me, "And you are going to be stuck with us for all of your miserable life." I then grab my amulet and made her get off of me. She hit the wall and feel to the ground.

"I don't care! Now leave me alone you she devil!" I shouted. Mabel got up and straightens her skirt with a smirk, "Typical."

"Why don't you plan something for you toy." I growled as I pulled up the journal, "And leave me alone."

Mabel snickered, "Oh already got some plans to make sure he is mine."
