Chapter 6: Third Wheel

Today, Stan opened up the new Mystery Fair. He said he wants to have more money- I mean, people.

Minutes before the grand opening of the fair, Soos was fixing the dunk tank, Mabel and Dipper were talking to Stan about the whole fair permit being fake, and you were talking to Wendy.

"Hey, Y/N," Wendy said. "We should hang out when the fair opens. You know, rides and prizes."

You smiled. "Sure. But, wait-" you paused. "Didn't Dipper ask you out? Then you said, 'yeah, I guess so'?" You clarified.

"Oh, right. Bummer." She sighed. She then came up with an idea. "Then... you should come with us. We'll hang out together."

You groaned. "Fine."

The fair was now finished, and you and Dipper walked towards Wendy. Mabel was busy getting cotton candy for you.

Mabel didn't know about your crush for her brother, but you're planning on telling her today.

The three of you bought these 'Mystery Dogs'. Wendy and Dipper were talking and laughing as you just... stood there. Although from time to time, Wendy would nudge your shoulder to keep up, but in return, you would just smile.

As Wendy laughed, the mustard on the corndog fell on her sleeve. "Ah, boo. Gotta clean this up! Be right back!" Before she completely walked away, she nudged you again. "Y/N..." she said in a warning tone.

You glared. "Alright!" You whispered. You were about to speak to him, when his sister went first.

"Mabel!" Dipper exclaimed. "You won't believe it. I asked Wendy if she wants to hang out with me and she said, 'yeah i guess so'!"

Mabel laughed. "Woah! Now there's gonna be romance afoot! You and Wendy, getting all romance-y in the fair!" She teased, as you stood at the side.

You were wincing in pain. Ugh. Now you, Mabel?

In the middle of the conversation, you suddenly smell a familiar gallon of body spray that belongs to none other than your 'friend', Robbie.

He smirked at the three of you. "Hey, dorks. Y/N." Robbie spat your name.

"Robbie," you greeted back, crossing your arms. "Honestly thought you'd be in a cemetery, having a concert or something." The two of you glared at each other, before Robbie suddenly grabbed you for a playful noogie.

Dipper and Mabel stared shockingly.

"Hey, get off of me!" You pushed him away. "We're not even friends. I only speak to you because Wendy wanted me to." You rolled your eyes.

Robbie scoffed. "Whatever. Hey, have any of you seen Wendy? Thought she might check out my-" he flexed his legs. "Ah, super tight jeans." You stared in disgust.

Dipper smirked. "Y'know, I think I saw her in the Bottomless Pit. You should go jump in and look for her there." You and Mabel gasped at his boldness.

Robbie glared at him. "Maybe I will." He walked away, his legs nudging into Dipper very harshly on purpose.

After the whole Robbie incident, Wendy came back. You realized that you spent time talking to the jerk that you never had the chance to speak with Dipper, even telling Mabel your feelings for his brother.

She approached you. "Hey," she whispered. "Did you tell her? Did you talk to Dipper?" You shook your head. Wendy frowned. "Just tell Mabel already!"

The twins snapped their attention to the two of you. You facepalmed. Way to go, Wendy.

"Tell me what?" Mabel grinned. You started to panic.

You and Wendy just stood there awkwardly in a very long time, before you coughed. "Um... uh-"

"Uh!" Wendy said. "Y/N was asking the two of you if-"

"If you guys want to hang out with us!" You finished. "Yeah! Hang out with us! Nothing suspicious, really. Yeah."

Dipper narrowed his eyes. "O...'kay. Mabel, are you coming?"

"Of course!" Mabel said. "I'll always go with you, guys. Every step of the-- OH MY GOSH A PIG!" She ran so fast with her hands flailing, leaving you with Dipper and Wendy.

"So... what now?" Wendy asked.

"I'm up for anything." Dipper replied, as you nod.

The three of you were having fun- scratch that, just the two of them. You felt really left out, so you just left them and walked away, before you heard Wendy said, "I don't know if it's a duck or a panda, but I want one!"

You sighed as you put your hands in your pockets. You went to find Mabel. Eventually, you saw her with a pig in her hands. "Aw, it's so cute!" You gushed. "What's their name?"

"I named him Waddles, 'cause he waddles! Isn't that right, Waddles?" He oinked in delight, whereas Mabel screamed in joy. You laughed as well, because they are both adorable together.

After a while, Mabel looked at you. "Hey, weren't you with Dipper and Wendy? I thought you're all hanging out."

You scoffed. "More like third-wheeling them."

Mabel laughed as if it was a joke. She then sighed, glancing at the two of them. "Aren't they cute."

"They sure are." You faked being enthusiastic. You sighed. You can't deny it, it was really true.

You were talking with Mabel when suddenly, Dipper walked towards the two of you. You stared at him in confusion. "Where's Wendy...?"

He didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed at Robbie, who was taking Wendy for a ride in the Tunnel of Love and Corndogs.

You put out your tongue in disgust. "Ugh." You turned to Dipper and pat his back. "It's okay, Dipper. Robbie's a jerk."

"No, it's my fault," Dipper said. "If I haven't thrown so badly, then I wouldn't have hit Wendy in the eye. And-and I could've given her a bag of ice if it weren't for..." He saw the same bald guy he bumped into. "You!"

6 pm, just as the Mystery Fair closes, you took a deep breath when you saw Mabel playing with her pig.

You walked towards her, as you tried to be calm as possible. You sat beside her. "Hey, Mabel."

"Hi, Y/N! Say hi, Waddles!" He oinked in reply. Mabel screeched.

You smiled. "Mabel..." you put on a serious face. "I need to tell you sonething."

"Sure. What is it?"

"Um..." you stuttered. You weren't sure if you could do this. Wendy saw the whole thing and decided to help you.

She ran towards Mabel and yelled. "She likes Dipper!"

"Wendy!" You screamed.

"What? You were taking too long," she complained.

Mabel gasped. "Wait, you liked Dipper this whole time?! Oh my-" She screamed so loud, it made Waddles cower in fear and you had to cover your ears. After a while, she paused. "Wait," she turned towards you. "Didn't Dipper like Wendy?"

"I know." You sighed.

"But, Wendy," Mabel looked at her slowly. "Do you like him?"

"Yeah, I do."

Your heart almost snapped in two. You stare at her frantically and sadly.

Wendy, getting the gesture, suddenly flailed her hands. "No! Not that way. I like him as a friend!"

You sighed, feeling relieved and okay.

Mabel screamed again. "Oh, gosh! The two of you are perfect for each other, Y/N!" You blushed at her comment. Wendy agreed.

Oh, no. Two fangirls are shipping you with Dipper.

But you like it.

"Okay," Mabel rubbed her chin. "We gotta devise a plan for you to be with him." You rolled your eyes. They sure always have your back.
