I'm so sorry for all the awful puns made in this chapter, blame the comments on the last chapter. I mean, they're not that bad but shhh

Mabel Pines shut her mouth, instantly regretting the words that had just come out of her mouth. She watched Pacifica raise an eyebrow and stare at the shorter girl with sudden curiosity. Mabel avoided eye contact, shoving a small piece of homemade muffin into her mouth and started slowly chewing.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Pacifica scooted closer.

Mabel started to sweat. She swallowed the food and turned away. Taking a deep breath, she shut her eyes, ready to let out all her feelings. Why was she acting like this? This wasn't Mabel. Maybe she could confess her love through terrible puns?

"Soo... I think its time I should" she paused and took another breath. Her heart was beating fast in her chest. Her hands were clammy. "Confess my Undyne-ing love for you???"

"Mabel..." Pacifica held a hand up to her mouth and chuckled.

"Uhh..." Mabel shuffled awkwardly.

"Mabel" pacifica repeated, grinning as she shuffled closer, wrapping an arm around the brunette.

"I love you a skele-ton!" Mabel turned bright red as pacifica planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Dork"

"Shut up" Mabel buried her face in the others shoulder, breathing in her scent.

"You do know I didn't understand that first pun, right?" Pacifica asked.

Mabel nodded "you'll understand it when I show you where its from".

"There's no way you're getting me into a dorky video game"

Mabel laughed "just you wait and see"

They sat in silence for what felt like hours but was probably just minutes, huddled up against one another, enjoying the others company. It was Pacifica who broke the silence with an awkward cough.

"So are we like, dating now or what?" Pacifica pulled away from Mabel and stared down at her.

"Do you wanna date?"

Pacifica started to nod but stopped. Her smile fell. "Yes I do, but my parents..." she ran a hand through her hair and bit her lip.

Mabel grabbed onto Pacifica's hands, ignoring how sweaty hers were. The blonde didn't seem to mind. "We can keep it a secret from them"

"But they've been trying to hook me up with a guy for years" pacifica sighed "I can't tell them I'm not interested, they'd flip out!"

"Okay, here's the plan" Mabel squeezed her hands "we don't tell them. If they keep getting you to date a guy, then keep rejecting them" Mabel paused before grinning mischievously "and if that fails, just fake date Dipper".

Pacifica let out a wheezing sound "no way! Your brother meets none of my standards"

"And I do?"

Pacifica did a half nod, half shrug before saying " yeah. I mean, he's so awkward and sweaty" she shuddered.

Mabel laughed, adding "and I can cook without almost setting the house on fire".

"He did that?"

"Yup! Our parents grounded him for like, a month and banned him from the kitchen" Mabel burst out laughing "it was hilarious"

"I wish I was there" both girls laughed, holding onto each other for support.

"Well, I guess we should pack up?" Mabel said, standing up.

She stretched before picking up the half eaten food and shoving it into a plastic bag. She then placed the bag into her backpack and proceeded to roll up the blanket.

"Need any help?" Pacifica asked, packing her her containers.

Mabel shook her head "nah, I got it Paz"

"At least let me walk you home?"

"Okay, fine"

Pacifica grabbed Mabel's hand and pulled her into the woods. They walked back to the shack slowly, making little conversation. Once the got to the worn out shack, pacifica turned Mabel around. She leant in and kissed the brunette on the lips. Both girls turned bright red but neither pulled away.

It lasted a couple of minutes before Mabel pulled away, out of breath. She gave Pacifica a toothy grin before letting her go and turning back towards the shack.

"Thanks a metta-ton!" Mabel winked.

"Oh my god Mabel please stop" pacifica ran a hand down her face, trying to hide her laughter.

"You're laughing"

"I know! And I hate it!"

Mabel burst out a laughing, holding onto her sides, bent double "you just made a reference without knowing it! I'm so proud"

"Dammit"

They kissed again and then went their separate ways.

Mabel burst into the gift shop, beaming. Bill was by the window, he had mostly likely watched the whole thing. He watched her with curious eyes as she made her way towards the kitchen. The demon followed closely behind, making the older twin slightly uncomfortable. Mabel put all the containers back before turning around to head up to her room. Bill was standing in the doorway, hands on hips.

"What was that?" He asked. He didn't seems angry, just curious.

"It was love! Wait.. Or did you mean the pun???"

"What's a pun?"

"Okay, never mind"

"So" Bill leant on the doorframe, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm dating pacifica now I guess?" Mabel didn't know the answer he wanted, but this was a good start.

"Dating..." He said the word slowly, somehow managing to slightly miss pronounce it. "I've heard of this human dating".

"Really?"

Bill nodded "I've done my research."

"Then why don't you know what a pun is?" Mabel smirked as bills smug grin faded.

"They seem insignificant"

Mabel laughed and pushed Bill out the way. Bill yelped and shouted curses at her as she made her way to her room. She shut the door and lay on her bed, thinking about her day with Pacifica and how her life couldn't get any better than this.

Sorry for the long break, I recently moved up a set at school and I'm still getting used to it. Also, I started (and finished lmao) watching Steven Universe and omg peridot is adorable.
