Chapter 1: Close Call in Wyoming
Mabel's POV
Hi, my name...is Mabel Pines. I have a, younger twin, Dipper. God I love having a little sibling to look after. Ok, I'm only older by 5 minutes, but still. I'm older than him! Alright, enough about me. We're in the middle of moving right now, on the road in-fact. Our family used to live in California for a while, but now we're moving to Wyoming after Mom was "let go" from her job. Dad had a great job too, but had to kiss it goodbye as well. We're not rich, but we're together and doing great as a family. That's all that matters to me.
"Don't worry kids, we'll be fine. We're still together and on our feet right?" Mom said
"Yeah." Me and Dipper said at once
I looked out the window admiring the night sky, and what looked like mountains in the distance. Bro-bro, he was between listening to his iPod and trying to fall asleep amidst the many bumps in the road.
"Broseph?" I said shaking him
"Leave your brother sleeping sweetie. He's had a long day." Mom said with a hint of heaviness in her eyes
He did indeed. Had to say goodbye to the few friends he had, but worse, set the love of his life free. I can still see the tears in his eyes. Her name was Emily. Sweetest thing for him too, I could easily picture them getting married one day. She had long brown hair, blue eyes, and tons of interests similar to his. It was a match literally made in Heaven. I wasn't with him when he told her he was moving, but I overheard them in the hallway of our high school. The short conversation still rings in my ears.
"Hi Emily."
"Hey Dipper."
I heard her soft lips peck his cheek.
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it? You can tell me anything."
She had pearly white teeth, I could tell she was showing them.
"I'm-we're moving to Wyoming. We can't live here anymore."
She gasped.
"Why?"
"My Mom got let go."
"Dipper, I'm so sorry! That's such a shame!"
"Yeah."
"Doesn't your Dad have a really good job too?"
"He does, but he didn't really like it there for a bit, yada yada yada. But, he loves us so much he stuck with it. Actually enjoyed it after a while."
"Will you come visit?"
I heard a sniffle from her.
"I don't know. Emily, the time we had was amazing. I love you, and I wish you the best."
"I love you too Dipper. I will always love you! I don't care where you go, I know we're destined to be one day! When that day comes, we'll be happy forever."
"That's sweet. I have the greatest hunch that'll happen."
"But for now, keep being your fun-loving self. Ok?"
I heard oo's from the students as I peered my head around the corner, she grabbed him by his collar and kissed him with all the passion in her heart.
"Till we meet again Dipper."
"Same."
He unlatched a blue jeweled necklace she gave him, and handed it to her. In return, she gave him a similar aqua jeweled necklace with a music note on it. Without another word, they went their separate ways.
I ducked back as he approached me, as he walked by, I sped up to him.
"You know, that music note necklace she gave me 3 years ago was rather odd, but I still loved it."
"I know you did Broseph. She seems like The One."
"Yes, one day."
We just got off another freeway, and pulled into a rest stop. I finally was able to wake him up, as we were all getting out.
A short time later, we were back on the road, it was now pitch black, and it started drizzling.
Mom was driving now, and Dad fell asleep rather quickly.
I took this moment and leaned over.
"How you holding up?"
"I've been better."
"Don't worry, I know you two will meet again."
"I'm worried though, what if I marry someone else?"
"If something happens, it happens."
He tensed up.
Great Mabel, you got him stressed out now.
"I'm sorry Dip." I said hugging him
"Why are you sorry doofus? I'm the one who asked that."
"Still, I worry about you."
"That's sweet, thanks."
"I'm serious, if you need to vent, or talk to someone who aren't our folks, I'm here. You know you can talk to me about anything right?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now, let your sister lay on your shoulder, I've grown to like this."
He chuckled.
"Whatever, weirdo."
"Slacker."
He elbowed me.
"Goodnight sis."
We both fell asleep, with the sound of cars in the opposite lane zooming by us.
Truth be told, this isn't our first time moving. We did a lot in the past before settling in California, but we were so little, we don't remember. Our parents never told us why we moved so much. They said it wasn't because of anything illegal, so we never asked anything since.
I heard the tires crunch against some gravel as we finally stopped. My eyes opened and saw an average looking house. It was white, and had a nice front porch with a few rocking chairs.
"Welcome to your new home kids." Mom said
"I like it already!" I said thrilled
"Wha'd you think Dip?" She asked
"It's nice." He said
"Well, you don't hate it so that's good."
"Mom, come on, you know I'd never say that."
"I know. A Mom's always gotta push her son's buttons."
We chuckled and unpacked our 08 Dodge Caravan.
With our big van, we didn't really have much in the back. Just our suitcases, among other things. Bro-bro's guitars were in there too, no way was he leaving without them. He's been playing them for about a year now, and he's amazing! Too bad he never lets me hear him practice, only lets me come to his recitals.
Suitcases in hand, we walked up the wooden steps, and took our first steps into our new home. Instantly, we fell in love. The wood flooring was nice, we had a spacious kitchen, which was recently remodeled. Our living room was big too, we already got a flat screen, just gotta mount it to the wall.
In front of us was a staircase, which we assumed led to our separate rooms.
"We're gonna head upstairs." We called out as our parents went down the hallway by the living room
"Alright." Dad called back
"Race you to the top!" I said hoisting my bag over my shoulder
"Come'ere you!" He said doing the same
I ended up beating him, it was futile of him to try.
"I told you, I'm the-"
"Don't! Say it." He said plopping his bag at his feet
I set mine down and leaned down to his ear.
"Alpha.......twin."
I could feel his face getting hotter.
"What did I just say?" He asked
"I know, and I ignored you."
"Say it."
"What? That I'm clearly the ALPHA TWIN?"
He put me in a headlock and gave me a noogie.
"That's what you get."
"Ok, ok! We're even."
Our rooms were, almost next to each other. Well, we were all the way on opposite ends, with one bathroom in-between us. Guess some things never change.
"I'll let you have dibs on the bathroom." He said
"No, you get em this time." I said winking
"Thanks." He said opening the door to his room
My room was, empty for one thing, and the walls are a light green. I had a queen size mattress, and wooden dressers, with matching green blinds.
"I'm gonna bezazzle this room in no time." I said
But for now, I'll unpack my stuff.
I put all my stuff in their respective drawers, and took a look around. Nice to know I have a walk in closet too. Those green blinds are driving me crazy though, they just feel "off." I pulled them to the top and locked them.
'If I put a bunch of sequins on them, they'll look less off.'
Dipper's door creaked open, and I quickly changed into my pajamas. Just some lounge pants and a shirt with an acoustic guitar on it that says "Brother's biggest fan" below it. It's one of a kind, literally.
"Hey, still wearing that shirt I see."
"Is that an issue?"
"Nope."
He looked from the stairway out the window above the front door.
"I know you miss her, and it hurts. For now though, live your life. Have fun."
"....I will, thanks sis."
"Anytime."
"Come'ere, you need a hug." I said outstretching my arms
The rain was still pouring down, hitting the roof intensely, I could see the drops gliding down the glass behind him. He opened his arms as we wrapped each other up. I walked us over to the wall, sliding down it. We remained like this for a while, keeping close.
"For those who say we're too close sometimes, they don't understand us. Sure, we've been in various relationships, and suffered their ends, but we always have each other to fall back on."
"Yep."
He stroked my hair from my neck, down to my back.
"Hmmmm"
"Alright, thanks. I needed that."
"Yes you did bro-bro."
"Mind if I check out your room?"
"Be my guest."
We were still wrapped around each other as we stood up.
"You can let go of me now sis." He said smiling
"Awww, ok."
My arms released themselves, already rushing my way to his room. I stopped in my tracks in the doorway.
His room was huge! Complete with a desk, TV on the wall, dresser by the window, and a king size mattress!
"How come you get the bigger bed!?" I asked
"I guess this used to be the master bedroom." He said slyly
I turned around and poked his nose.
"Next place we move into, I'm getting the bigger room. Then let's see how you like sleeping in a room so small you can't even get dressed in."
"You're over exaggerating. Even for you that's a bit much."
"Zip it."
"You first."
We smirked at each other. I loved our little games we shared.
The halls were filled with our laughter as we walked out and headed downstairs.
"Well, seems like you two settled in nicely." Dad noticed from the kitchen
"Yep. Sure did." We said at the same time
I noticed Dad was cooking something, then flames engulfed the pan. He immediately threw baking soda on the fire, and it went out.
"Grease fire." Dad said
"Close call." Mom said rushing in after all the commotion
I looked over at Dipper, and his shirt sleeve had some singes on it. I ripped it off him and stomped on it.
"And another one." He said
"Alright kids, it's been a long day and night for both of you. Head up to your rooms and get some rest for tomorrow." Mom said
I looked back at Dipper in his muscle shirt, making sure it wasn't singed either. He was good.
"Alright, night Mom, Dad." I said
We walked back up the steps and stopped halfway.
"Good night Dipper."
"Good night Mabel."
We hugged and went into our separate rooms.
So yeah, finally glad I finished the first chapter of this! I've put a lot of thought into this story, and I hope you all will like it! And surprise surprise, this is my first NON Pinecest fic. XD Seriously though, I hope you all enjoy it.
