Alright here is the right one! Sorry for the weird missing chapter. I just saw that and I'm like...what? SO there and this the new one. Sorry for not updating for a while. School and WinterGaurd Practice has been really eating up my time. I still hope you like it.

What if Dipper wasn't Mabel's brother, but her imaginary friend that she thought was her brother. By: Lapi5_Lazuli

Mabel POV

When the summer started my parents sent me to my great uncle's place up in the woods. Dipper had to come anyways. He wouldn't leave me so he came anyways. Dipper Pines is my bestest friend and he is my brother. My twin brother to be exact. People keep saying that he isn't real and just an imaginary friend. I don't believe them. Sure he may be imaginary I know that but they need to show respect her. He may be imaginary in this world but to other he is a real person. He has brown hair, brown eyes, wears black and white tennis shoes with white socks, an orange/ridish shirt with a blue vest, and a pine tree hat on.

Anyways, my parents think it would be nice for me to go out to the outdoors to clear my mind what is real or not. You see I'm 12 and they think that I shouldn't imaginary friends or brothers at age 12. They said I should have stopped this 'phase' around 6 year ago. Anyways so I was sent up to Gravity Falls, Oregon. Grunkle Stan is his name and his house, part of it, is called the Mystery Shack. A tourist attraction and guess you has to work there...

I was sweeping the floors. "I don't understand why I have to do this." Dipper was sitting up on the counter, "Because Grunkle Stan say so. Come on Mabel, isn't this fun!"

"You aren't even doing anything. Mind helping?"

Dipper laugh, "I wasn't asked to."

"Blah Blah, Well I'm asking you now!"

Dipper chuckle, "Alright." Then he jumped off from the counter. "What do you want me to do?" I hand him the broom, "sweep." Dipper grabs the broom, "Of course. Then what are you going to do?" I gave a smile, "I'm going to clean off some merchandise."

I went around the corner and grab a spray bottle and a cloth. I started to clean off some merchandises. Then Grunkle Stan came, "Boy you clean up this room fast." I look over and Dipper was back sitting at the counter and the floor looks spotless. Dipper smiled, "Why thank you."

"Dipper says thank you." I reply. Grunkle Stan looks at me, "Who?"

"Dipper. Remember Grunkle Stan, my brother."

Grunkle Stan roll his eyes, "Oh, you imaginary brother."

"He doesn't like to be called that." I snap.

"It's fine Mabel." Dipper replies softly.

"Whatever rattles in your head kid." Grunkle Stan reply. Then he went over to the desk, "Kid can you hang up some signs out in the forest." Then he hands the signs in my hand. Dipper shiver, "I always get the chills when I go there."

"Do I have to?" I ask.

"Don't worry Mabel I'll come with you." Dipper reply jumping off the counter.

"Just do it kid." Grunkle Stan reply.

Then me and Dipper went outside. I started to hammer some signs while Dipper holds them from me. "Don't listen to Grunkle Stan Mabel." Dipper spoke. I shrug, "But you don't like being called imaginary and neither do I. It isn't fair. They should show some respect." Dipper handed me the last sign, "Don't worry about. There are people in this world that aren't going to treat you and me right. It doesn't matter."

I hit the tree to put the nail in but something strange was with the tree. It sounded metal and hallow when I hit it. "What was that?" Dipper questioned. "I don't know." I reply. I bang the tree again. I then reach around and felt and then open this secret compartment. "Cool!" Dipper gasps. "Creepy." I reply. There was an old radio in it. Dipper came around. He then reach and started to mess with the buttons. "Dipper!" I cried out. "What, nothing is going to..." Then at the last part of his sentence this secret trap door just opened next to this tree.

"Dipper this is getting even creepier. Let's just leave." I pleaded.

"Hold on." Dipper muttered.

Then he went over to the trap door. "Mabel check this out!" I then went next to him and down in this whole was this dusty old book. "It's a book." I grumble. Dipper picked it up and brushes off the dirt and dust. It was an older book with a golden 6 figure hand in the middle and a number 3 in the middle of the hand. "Creepy." I reply, "Dipper put it back."

Of course Dipper didn't put it back, he opened it. "Dipper!" I cried out. "What? There is nothing wrong about reading. You should try it." Dipper reply calmly. Then his eyes widen, "Just look at these things!" Dipper showed me the book, even though I didn't want to but he did anyways. On the pages were these creatures. "What?" I muttered. I started to go through them with Dipper. "Look a journal entry." Dipper pointed out, "My concussions are clear, I'm being watch. I must hide the book before he finds it. In this town there is no one you should trust. Trust no one."

I look at Dipper and he looks at me, "This is a creepy book Dipper."

"It isn't that bad." Dipper reply, "This could explain the feeling I have been having."

"Feeling?"

"It is this gut feeling that something is off. In this town...that happens a lot."

I was starting to get worried, "Dipper put the book back."

"Mabel we can't...."

"Kid!" A voice called out, "Kid are you done yet?" It was Grunkle Stan.

"Go Mabel." Dipper reply.

"Only if you put the book back."

"I will."

I smile, "great!" Then I got to my feet, "Coming Grunkle Stan." I then took off back to the Shack. After doing a bit more things around the house I was in the store. Dipper had come back. "Did you put the book away?" I questioned. "Of course." Dipper reply. Then this boy came through the door. My eyes widen. He was a nice tall boy, wearing a dark hoody and jeans, and I could see that he has brown hair. I smile. Dipper groan, "Oh no, not again."

Then the boy came up, "Hi."

I blushed, "Hi."

"Mabel let him get into your head! I don't trust him." Dipper growled.

"My name's Mabel." I continue, ignoring Dipper at the moment.

"Are you even listening to me?" Dipper questioned.

"I'm...Normal...man." The boy reply.

"Do you mean Norman?" I questioned.

The boy pause. "Yes."

I smiled, "Nice to meet you Norman."

"Mabel!" Dipper snaps. Then he jumps off the counter and came in front of me, "Mabel listen to me....I don't trust him."

I gave his dark eyes. Then I looked up at Norman, "Do you want to hang out?" Norman smiled, "yes."

"Mabel!" Dipper cried out. Then Norman's hand went through Dipper and grabs mine. Then I went through Dipper as we headed out the door. "Mabel! Did you just went through me?" Dipper gasps. Dipper turns around, "Mabel!" I close the door.

For that whole day, me and Norman, we went to the park and around the forest. It was amazing. Then I came home right in time for dinner. I sat at the table, "Hey kid where have you been all day?" Grunkle Stan questioned.

"Just out." I smiled.

Dipper was in the room and he scoffed.

I glare at him as I sat at the table.

"What is that look for?" Grunkle Stan questioned.

"Not to you Grunkle Stan. It's Dipper. He's being a butt face because I went out with a guy." I reply.

Grunkle Stan pause for a moment, then he shook his head remembering who Dipper was.

"I'm not being a butt face! I don't like him. My gut feeling is kicking in every time I see him." Dipper cried out.

I roll my eyes. I started to eat my dinner. "Oh Grunkle Stan I'm going out again tomorrow."

"Not with that boy." Dipper growled.

"Alright kid. You done alright in this place so sure take that day off." Grunkle Stan reply.

I smiled, "Thanks Grunkle Stan." I then stuck out my tough at Dipper. He did it back also. I finish my dinner and headed off to my room. It was a one bed but I manage to find some more blankets and pillows for Dipper to sleep.

"Mabel you can't go out with that boy anymore." Dipper started.

"Dipper if you are going to be like this all night then I'm going to kick you out of my room. It was my room in the first place." I snap, "I just let you sleep here!"

"But Mabel..."

"I don't want to hear it Dipper!"

I then jumped in my bed, "I'm going to go out with Norman tomorrow Dipper if you like it or not."

"He's not normal!"

"Nobody's normal! Why do you have to judge him?"

"It's my gut feeling."

"Oh your gut feeling is telling you to not trust him. How rude you are Dipper!"

"Mabel listen to me. Remember my gut feeling is always right."

"Blah, Blah, for I don't care. Norman is a sweet guy and I'm going out with him tomorrow and that's final!"

"But in the journal..." Then Dipper brought out the creepy book.

"Wait...you mean that creepy book? Dipper!"

"Mabel I'm sorry, but I had to. This town isn't right and this is the answer why."

"Dipper I can't believe you. I told you to put that journal back and you didn't!"

"I had to."

"No you didn't!"

I took a deep breath, "Dipper, you brought the book here, you are chewing out my boyfriend, and you are just being a butt face. I can't believe that you just did that."

"Mabel..."

"No Dipper, listen to me. I don't want to hear it any more if you can't shut your mouth then scram."

Dipper was startle on what I just said. "Mabel." "You know what I mean...scram Dipper! Leave!" I shouted. I could see that Dipper was hurt, "If that is what you want." Then Dipper just fade out and the book that he had in his hands just drop to the ground. I then went to bed.

In the morning Dipper wasn't around, I didn't expect to see him. Then after breakfast I then head out with Norman. It was a wonderful day, spending the time with Norman and no Dipper to make a mess of things. Then by the end of the day both me and Norman were out in the forest.

"Mabel...since we got to know each other and alone. I want to tell you something." Norman reply.

I smile, "You can tell me anything."

"Alright...just don't freak out alright."

I nod my head. Then Norman reaches for his zipper and then unzips his jacket and I couldn't believe what just happened. Norman was just a bunch of gnomes. "Holy sparkle." I muttered. "It this too weird? Do you need to sit down?" The top gnome questioned. "I...um..." I stuttered I didn't know what to say. "Alright let me explain..."

So Jeff, the top of the gnomes, explains how they've been looking for a new queen and they wanted me to be their queen. So I had to marry all of them to become their queen.

I shook my head, "Um...guys...this...isn't going to work out. You are nice and all....but you are gnomes...and I'm a girl....it wouldn't work out."

Jeff nods his head, "We understand Mabel. We will never forget you."

I smiled, "Thanks."

"Because we are going to kidnap you." They continue.

"What!" I gasp. Then they jumped at me. Then they took me away. I struggle with them, "Let me go! Help! Someone help! Dipper! Get away you butt faces!" I kicked a few. "Don't need to make this so difficult honey!" Jeff cried out. "I'm not your honey!" I shouted as I kicked another gnome.

"Dipper! Dipper I'm sorry what I said before! You were right and I was wrong...as always. Dipper please come back!" I shouted.

"Nobody can hear you form town sweety." Jeff reply.

"Luckily I'm not from town." A voice reply.

I turn my head and saw Dipper. I smiled, "Dipper!" Jerry even turns around and saw nobody. "Dipper what do I do?" Dipper looks around, "Well I can't do anything! I'm just a ghost like figure. Can't grab anyone." Then a thought came into my head, "But you can grab anything."

Dipper then had a wide smile. Then he just grabs a few rocks and started to throw them at the gnomes. I did my part of course, kicking the gnomes. Then there was an opening and I took it. I jumped over the gnomes. "Run Mabel, I'll try to hold them off." Dipper called out. I nod my head as I took off running through the forest.

As I ran I saw that Shack. Then as I was running the earth shook. I stop running. "Mabel!" Dipper called out. I turn around and I could see this huge gnome made up of other gnomes. "Run! Mabel! Run!" I heard Dipper scream out. I didn't know where he was but I could hear him. I then started to sprit to the Shack. Then as I was about to reach to the Shack this large hand grab me. It lifted me up in the air and to the top of the gnome made gnome. "You will be our queen!" Jeff shouted.

"Dipper something!" I shouted.

"What am I? A dragon? I don't think so." Dipper shouted back. I looked down and I could see Dipper down at ground level. A thought came into my head, "You are my...my imaginary friend." I couldn't believe that I just said that. I hate hearing imaginary friend or brother when it comes to Dipper. Dipper widens his eyes as I continue, "So I can imagine anything! So...Be a dragon to get me out of here!" I then looked up at Jerry who was looking at me weirdly, "It's a good thing your pretty." "Being pretty isn't the only thing that I can do. Imagining things is also my thing and you are going to regret it." I snap back.

Then suddenly this tree just came out of nowhere hitting the top, hitting Jeff. The gnomes started to fall apart. I was about to fall to the ground but the tree came back and I landed on the branches. I looked up and there was this huge blue dragon. I smile, it worked. Then Dipper lowered the tree and set it on the ground gently as he gets back to his four legs.

The gnomes were just confused. "What's going on? What do we do? We give out the orders now?" They questioned. I climb out of the tree. "Listen to me! You will never come back for me or I'll have my imaginary brother to go after you. He is my over protective brother that could use any objects to destroy you!" I shouted. "W....We...We won't!" They gasp then they started to take off in the forest.

I gave a proud smile. Then Dipper came in front, in his human form, jumping up and down, "Mabel that was so cool! I didn't know that could happened!" I smiled as I reach for a hug but I just went through him. I gave a soft chuckle and Dipper gave a very small smile. "Awkward hand shake?" Dipper smiled as he raises his hand. I gave a smile and raise my hand. It is a hand shake with a twist since I go through Dipper. We go back of the hand to each other, going through, then palms in and going through, and then we put our fists together and again going through then separating with open hands and wiggling our fingers. We did it together. Then we started to walk back to the Shack.

I smiled, "Thank you for coming back Dipper. I didn't mean what I said before."

"Don't worry, I forgive you." Dipper reply, "Can't stay upset with you forever."

I shook my head, "Go ahead."

"What?"

"I told you so."

Dipper chuckle, "yes, I did told you about how you shouldn't trust Norman."

"I should have listen to you."

"It doesn't matter Mabel. You are human and human makes mistakes."

"Just promise me that you wouldn't leave again alright. I'll work on that too, not sending you away."

"Mystery Twins is what we are. One real and one imaginary. You know...thinking about being called imaginary...it isn't as bad any more, since now I can change to a dragon and who knows what!"

After that moment, things change. Me and Dipper stay together. We've been through many things. Like this haunted store that I went with Wendy and Dipper of course came. Then Gideon, he had a huge crush on me and I just wanted to be friends and luckily Dipper came and helped out. He would have told Gideon off for me but Gideon can't see him but his advice helped. I actually read the journal a few times. Then of course other things...like Bill Cipher was another problem.

He came working with Gideon to get the code to the Mystery Shack. Me and Soos had to get into Stan's mind. Dipper couldn't come, it would mess up Grunkle Stan's mind even more. That is how we first meet him. He would have won something but then Dipper's voice came...he couldn't be in Stan's mind but be a voice. He told me that in the mindscape you can create anything like how Dipper came to be in my mindscape.

We then stop Bill. Then we have been through even more adventures with Wendy and Soos. Dipper started to gain a crush on Wendy but it could never happen. He was imaginary and she was real. I notice how this started to change him. He was starting to be depress and moping around. I tried to talk to him but he claims that nothing is wrong. I didn't believe it. Then latter he claims that he knows that he isn't real and that he could never have a real life. To get married and have a family. He would be whatever I create him and it isn't the same as just creating a girlfriend for him. I wanted to help but I couldn't...but it doesn't mean that someone would try and in not a good way.

One day while I was busy with sock puppets for a show that I was doing, Dipper was up in the attic watching me had fun. He's been doing that lately. Then Bill came to him. Dipper was of course startle because nobody could see him but me. Not anymore. Bill came and wanted to make a deal with Dipper. The deal was basically, "I'll give you are real body, soul, everything you need to be real as in return you do something for me." Dipper was interested but knows to not trust Bill but after a few pushes...Dipper accepted Bill's deal. Dipper did gain a body but the trick was that it was Bill's body also. They had to share it....in a way...more as Bill's body.

At first I didn't know how to stop Bill without hurting Dipper. I knew he wanted a body, a real body but Bill has it also. Then latter I learn that the only reason why Dipper has a real body at this point because Bill was inside of Dipper. I had to get Bill out and then Dipper would be back to his imagination self. I couldn't use anything to help...so I did something that was terrible...but it worked but still terrible. Me and Bipper, a name I made up for Bill Dipper, were up in the catwalk. Bill was after the journal.

As we were up there Bill was going to win but both Dipper and I were fighting him but we were still losing. Then Dipper told me to push him off so both he and Bill will go down. I thought that was crazy but it was the only way. So...I push Bipper off the catwalk. The body went down and gone. Bill couldn't use the body anymore and Dipper either. He went back to his imagination self again but couldn't gain a body again. I really did felt bad for Dipper. All he wanted was a body and a life but Bill just came and manipulated it and him.

After that day, Dipper has been a bit happier but sad at the same time. I've tried cheering him up which sometimes it works but I could see it in his eyes. Then after a few weeks...we discover about the author. Dipper was star struck and I was interested...mainly that he was my Grunkle Ford also. Sadly Dipper couldn't talk to him so I did talking. After a bit...I started to work with Ford. It was starting to turn out great...for me. Dipper started to get even more depress and jealous and angry. I just dig even deeper. There was this rift that if Bill gets his hands on then the world would basically end.

Dipper, after a fight that we had Dipper went off into the forest upset grabbing this bag of his. What he didn't know is that where I put the rift because my bag broke so I was using Dipper's bag of inters. It is basically a bag that he carried things that he likes. I forgot to tell him about that.

Bill at this point came up to him and of course Bill still hates him of course but Bill took advantage of Dipper's depression. Bill promised Dipper if he give him this rift that is inside his bag then Bill will make all of Dipper's problems go away. Dipper with his mind not being clear took that deal. Bill took the rift, took Dipper, and started the end of the world.

Later during the apocalypse, Ford was taken by Bill, Stan went missing, Dipper was gone, and I was alone. Then I teamed up with Wendy and Soos. Then I learn about this Pine Tree bubble. I then remember when Bill gave Dipper a body he kept calling Dipper Pine Tree. Then at that point I told Wendy and Soos about Dipper. At first they didn't believe me but after a bit...they learn to believe and they came and helped me. We went to the bubble.

It was a strange place. It was like it was personalize for Dipper. There was this sunny place with buildings for science and logic things. He always loves things like that. I even saw some of the people around that Dipper enjoys reading. Then when we finally found Dipper and for the first time in a while. Dipper was happy. He had a body, life, and happiness. Dipper at first didn't want to leave. He said that he was happy in this place. I then learn about this place, how much of a trap it is. I then convince Dipper, to leave when we all got out of the bubble trap. Then when we got out Dipper...was different. He was still a bit upset but Wendy and Soos could see him...in a way. He was like this ghost figure. We can't explain and there isn't time.

After we quickly left we headed to the Mystery Shack and there we found Stan and many of our friends. It was a medical how they are still alive. We all then teamed up to fight against Bill. The battle was blurry to me...like my memories have been messed with or I don't want to remember but there was one thing I do remember. The sacrifice was the only thing I really remember in detail.

We were losing bitterly. Then Dipper came up to me and yanks me down. "Mabel, I want you to know something. I know how I've been acting like a total butt face for the past few weeks but I learn something here. Mabel all I really want is you to be happy and I thought having my own body and living life with you will make you happy but I was wrong. I'm just your imaginary brother that you created in your head. I could never be real but that doesn't matter. You are still happy with friends around you. I don't want to hold you back any more. My goal as an imaginary friend is complete. You are happy and you have found your place in the real world. I'm so proud of you Mabel and I don't want you to think that I'm just a sad and depress friend. There was a reason Bill came to me, not just because I had the rift, but what I can do. I knew it had to come to this but it doesn't matter what happens I just want you to be happy. When you are happy I'm happy."

At first I didn't know what the heck he was talking about. He just leans in and kissed me on the cheek. He didn't go through this time because he was a ghost like figure at this point, trap of being imaginary and real. Then he just went off. At that point Dipper then did a sacrifice, his existents for Bill's existents. I'm not sure what he did but whatever he did....Bill was gone and the world was safe...and Dipper was gone.

At this point I am 28 years old. Got married at age 20, had my first kid at 23 and my second kid at 26. Throughout my years I never saw or heard Dipper but I didn't forget him. He helped saved the world and was my best friend. I do get this sense that someone or something has been watching...guarding...caring....and loving me and my whole family. Watching me being happy and when that someone watches me be happy...they are also happy too.

Alright there it is. Sorry again for updating so slowly. School has been kicking me in the butt. Anyways...please leave me another What If and I will try my best to update it with school and Wintergaurd going on. Thanks!
