You and Dipper's Age: 12

~•~Your POV~•~

I was laying down on my bed, reading a book when my phone rang. I placed down my book and answered the call.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey, it's me." A familiar voice said.

"Oh hey Dipper. What's up?" I asked.

"A lot. Mabel's having one of her crazy sleepovers again." Dipper sighed.

"Oh, I remember the last time I went to her sleepover. I had glitter stuck in my teeth for a week." I said, starting to pick at my teeth.

I heard Dipper chuckle.

"Yeah well, now I am forced to sleep outside for the night." Dipper said.

"Why don't you come over my house for the night?" I asked.

"Really? Would your parents allow it on such short notice?" Dipper asked.

"Yeah! I'm sure they wouldn't mind my best friend sleeping over for the night." I said, "Oh, by the way, don't bother to bring your sleeping bag."

"...Why?" He asked.

"...Because we can just share my king sized bed, duh." I said.

The other end went quiet.

"Dipper? You still there?" I asked.

"What? Oh, yeah, I-I'm still here." He said, trailing off at the end.

"I mean, if you want to just bring your sleeping bag-"

"No!" He cleared his throat,"I mean, I-it's fine." He said, his voice cracking a little, causing me to giggle.

"Ok then. See you in a little bit." I said.

"Ok, bye." He said.

"Bye~" I hung up the phone.

I dashed over to my dresser and pulled out of pjs to slip on. I ended up grabbing a neon (F/c) T-shirt, grey sweat pants, and (F/c) socks. I brushed out my hair and brushed my teeth quickly. Once I was all ready, the doorbell rang downstairs.

"I'll get it!" I yelled, running out of my room towards the door.

I swung the door open and smiled at Dipper.

"Hey! That was quick." I said.

"Well, I do live right around the corner." He laughed.

He brought his tan bag with him. I let him step inside my house as I closed the door.

"Who's at the door, hun?" My mom called out to me.

"It's just my friend, mom!" I called back.

We both walked to my room.

"So, what do ya wanna do first?" I asked.

"I don't know." Dipper shrugged, "I'm just glad that I don't have to sleep in the cold outdoors."

"Yeah. I bet if you did you'd get attacked by a wolf or somethin'." I laughed.

"Yeah, or an owl would try to eat my tongue." Dipper laughed.

We ended up in a fit of laughter.

:::::TIMESKIP:::::

It started to get late so we decided to go to bed. Even though we were both under the covers, it still was cold. Stupid cheap parents for only getting one blanket. But I doubt Dipper minds, cause I heard quiet snores from him. As I was about to fall asleep, I felt him shift over and wrap an arm around me, feeling my face heat up. I didn't push away though.

I like Dipper, so I was fangirling in my head.

I shifted over facing Dipper. His mouth was slightly open, a small trail of salvia coming out of his mouth. I giggled to myself quietly. I pulled the blanket up, using it as a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. He fidgeted a little when I did this, making me giggle quietly to myself more. I let go of the blanket and stared at him. He looked so cute while he slept. Eventually I rested my head on his chest, feeling his chin rest on my head. I sighed as closed my eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

:::::TIMESKIP:::::

"(Y/n)?" I heard someone mumble.

I blinked my eyes open, slowly sitting up from the bed. Dipper was sitting up in the bed, his face was all red. I remembered about last night and I smiled a little. I yawned and stretched my arms out.

"Morin' Dip." I yawned.

It took him a little while to get comfortable again, but eventually he gave me a small smile and rolled his eyes at my laziness. But then he started to laugh and point at me.

"Uh, what's so funny?" I asked.

"You should see your hair." Dipper laughed.

I gave him a confused look and got out of the bed slowly. I walked over to the mirror that was by my desk and looked at my reflection. I literally almost screamed at the sight of my hair. On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans, sneakers, and all that-

But if could you could see my hair right now, it'll put any messy hair styles to shame.

It was almost like a giant birds nest.

My eyes widened and I covered my mouth with my hand, as Dipper started to hysterically laugh.

"Dipper! This isn't funny!" I yelled.

I turned around to face him.

"Did you do this?!" I asked.

"What... No..." He said, obviously trying to hide his smile.

"You totally did this!" I said as I walked over to my dresser where my hairbrush is, "Just wait until I get my revenge. Or better yet, let's see how long it will take before your karma strikes."

"I told you, I didn't do it." He said.

I rolled my eyes and continued to brush my hair.

:::::TIMESKIP:::::

I eventually fixed my hair (which took about a half an hour) and we had breakfast. Right after breakfast, Dipper got his stuff and we both went to the shack. Once we got to the shack, we went to his room, and found a complete mess. When I saw some glitter pizza on the floor, I shivered.

"That week still haunts me." I said, walking into the room.

"Mabel?! The room is a complete mess!" Dipper yelled.

"It's fine. Hey, do want some of the leftover pizza?" Mabel asked, picking up a piece of pizza and waving it in the air, "It's got glitter on it!"

"Mabel, last night you kicked me out of my own home because of your sleepover so I had to sleepover with (Y/n), no offense (Y/n)." Dipper said.

"None taken." I said.

"That's great!" Mabel said.

"No! It's not great! This- is impossible to live with!" Dipper yelled.

"What? I'm delightful to live with! Get ready to be poked by the fun stick!" Mabel said, picking up a stick out of nowhere and poking Dipper's cheek, "Boop!"

"Ah!" Dipper yelled, smacking the stick out of her hand, "Mabel, I've had it with fun stick! You've totally wrecked our room! And-"

Dipper gasped.

"Our mini golf course!" Dipper yelled.

"Hehehe yeah. Grenda sure loves breaking things." Mabel said.

"Mabel, we're going to have to lead down some ground rules if were going to be living in this room together. First of all, NO sleepovers."

"What?! Well if I can't have sleepovers, then you can't keep me up with your summer reading!" Mabel said.

"How does reading keep you up?!" Dipper asked.

"Actually Dipper, Mabel's right. When you read, you talk to yourself and click your pen that you're chewing on over and over again." I said.

"Well at least my braces don't whistle when I breath!" Dipper said.

"At least I wash my clothes once in a while." Mabel said.

What?! Ew! And I just let Dipper sleep in my bed?!

"Washing clothes is a waste of time! I'm a busy guy!" Dipper said.

Things are starting to get bad. Maybe I should stop them.

"Guys, I think you should-"

"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!" Mabel said.

"Alright, if you meow one more time-"

"Meow meow meow!" Mabel yelled, interrupting Dipper.

"Ok, that's it! That's the final straw! Maybe we shouldn't share a room anymore!" Dipper yelled.

"Wha-ah... Well maybe we shouldn't!" Mabel yelled, a hint of sadness.

"Fine by me!" Dipper said.

"Double fine by me!" Mabel said.

"Then we need to talk to Grunkle Stan about moving rooms." Dipper said.

"Yeah, he's a reasonable guy." Mabel said.

Once they started to head out the room, I stopped Dipper.

"Look, I'm just going to head home now since you and Mabel are having a sibling fight. I don't wanna get involved in it." I said.

"Oh, ok. Sorry that you had to hear all of that." Dipper sighed.

"Yeah. Is it true that you don't wash your clothes?" I asked.

Dippers face went all red.

"Uh- don't listen to what Mabel said." He said.

"Fine. I'm going anyway. Bye Dipper." I said, walking out of the room.

~•~Dipper POV~•~

"Bye." I said from behind her.

Once she was gone, I sighed. Man, last night when she invited me over for a sleepover, I was going to tell her that I like her. It was the perfect chance to, but no. I had to chicken out, as usual. I better go see what Mabel's telling Grunkle Stan now.

:::::TIMESKIP:::::

I can't believe I'm stuck in Mabel's body! It feels so weird! And her braces are hurting my teeth really badly.

"Mabel?!" I called out.

At the moment, I was searching around the house for Mabel. I escaped the sleepover that was happening now with Grenda and Candy, but who knows for how long. I wish (Y/n) was here. She would know what to do. Maybe I should call her. She would get freaked out that I'm in Mabel's body-

Wait a minute?! I'm in Mabel's body! This is actually great!

"Dipper?!" I heard Mabel call out.

I need to go to (Y/n)'s house. This is a once in a life time opportunity for me. Quickly, ran towards the door and stepped outside.

I really hope this idea works.

~•~Your POV~•~

I was in my room playing on my phone when someone knocks on the door. I heard my mom walk to the door and open it. A minute later, she called my name.

"Yeah mom!?" I called back.

"Your friend is here!" She yelled.

My friend? Who else besides Dipper and Mabel would be here? I jumped off my bed I was sitting on and walked out of my room, towards the door. The door was still open, and Mabel was standing there.

"Uh, hey Mabel." I said.

"Yup, that's me," Mabel said, then tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear," Mabel."

Something seems odd about Mabel.

"I thought you were having a fight with Dipper?" I asked.

"Oh, uh- we are, so I just left the shack to get away from him." Mabel said, "Is it ok if I hangout with you?"

"Um, sure Mabel." I said.

Mabel walked inside as we walked towards my room.

"You know Mabel, next time you throw a sleepover, you should tell Dipper before hand." I said.

"Yes, I should, shouldn't I." Mabel said.

"You seem a little bit different, Mabel. Are you ok?" I asked.

"What do you mean different?" Mabel asked.

"You're not your cheerful self. You seem- serious. You're never serious. It's almost like your Dipper or something." I said.

"Yeah, funny right?" Mabel said, nervously laughing.

I raised my eyebrow at her, but then shook my head and laughed.

~•~Dipper POV~•~

Ok, so far she still thinks I'm Mabel.

"What do you wanna do?" (Y/n) asked.

Ok, if I was Mabel, what would I say? Oh, I know.

"Let's play truth or dare." I said, the best impression of Mabel.

(Y/n) smiled and nodded.

"Ok, you first then." (Y/n) said.

Ok, I can't say my question right away, so I gotta say different questions first.

"Ok, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Um, dare." She said.

"Um, I dare you to call Grunkle Stan and tell him he's a butt face!" I said.

What? That's something Mabel would say, right?

(Y/n) laughed as she picked up her phone.

"You're- on!" She laughed.

She started to dial the number. She put the phone on speaker and it rang a little bit.

"Hello?" A voice like Grunkle Stan's said.

"Hello," (Y/n) said in a deep voice," I just called to say that you're a butt face."

We both started to laugh hysterically.

"What?! Who is this?!" Stan yelled.

Instead of answering, (Y/n) hung up the phone.

"That was great!" I laughed.

"I know right?!" (Y/n) laughed, "Ok ok, it's my turn. Mabel, truth or dare?"

What would Mabel say?

"Truth?" I said, more of a question.

"Ok, Mabel, do you- like someone?" (Y/n) smirked.

Who did Mabel like? I don't think she liked anyone at the moment.

"No one at the moment." I said, giving a fake smile.

~•~Your POV~•~

Ok, something is definitely wrong with Mabel. She told me she was in love with that new kid Jacob. Now she's telling me she doesn't like anyone at the moment? I shrugged off the thought and nodded my head.

"Your turn." I said.

"Truth or dare?" She asked.

"Truth." I said.

She gave me a small smirk.

"Ok, (Y/n), who's your crush?" Mabel asked.

My face went red but I laughed.

"Mabel, I already told you who my crush was." I said.

"Could you remind me again?" She asked.

"I told you that it's Dipper." I said.

~•~Dipper POV~•~

Yes! She likes me back! This is the greatest moment of my life!

As I was about to respond, my phone went off. I pulled it out of the sweater and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Dipper?! Where are you?!" Someone shouted.

Oh geez. It's Mabel.

"Sh! Be quiet!" I whispered/yelled, covering the phone.

I looked at (Y/n) who was giving me a puzzled look.

"Excuse me for a sec." I said, stepping outside of the room and closing the door.

"Dipper, where did you go? Why are you telling me to be quiet? That's very rude!" Mabel shouted.

"Look Mabel, I'm busy at the moment." I said.

"Where. Are. You?!" Mabel asked.

I sighed.

"I'm at (Y/n)'s house, it's a long story." I mumbled.

"Well I've got time. Plus, um, Stan gave you the room." Mabel mumbled.

"Really?! Alright yes!" I yelled, not realizing that one of my legs was now in the air. I fake coughed and pushed it back down.

"Yeah well... Now tell me why your at (Y/n)'s house?!" Mabel asked.

"Fine fine." I said.

~•~Your POV~•~

Why did Mabel need to talk on the phone outside of the room?

Letting my curiosity take over me, I slowly walked over to the door and pressed my ear against it.

"Look Mabel, I'm busy at the moment...I'm at (Y/n)'s house, it's a long story." I heard Mabel say.

Wait, why would she say 'Mabel'? She's Mabel. Unless-

"Really?! Alright yes!.. *sighs* fine fine." I heard Mabel say.

I couldn't really hear the rest. But when I pushed my ear closer to the door, the door swung open and I fell face first. I shot my head up and Mabel was starring down at me, wide eyes.

"Dipper?! What's going on?! What happened?!" I heard someone say on the phone.

"I-I gotta go!" She said, hanging up the phone call.

It was quiet after that, Mabel getting more and more nervous by the minute. But then it hit me; Hard.

"Dipper?" I asked.

Mabel didn't answer, only looking paler. But she sighed.

"Yeah... It's Dipper." She, erm, he mumbled.

"Wha- How?!" I asked, standing up.

"I-it's a long story..." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I've got time, now explain!" I said.

:::::TIMESKIP:::::

After hearing the long explaintion, I was in complete shock.

"So... You're trapped inside of your sister's body because of a rug?" I asked.

He nodded. My face burnt red as I looked down.

"So, that means I confessed my love for you too, right?" I asked, looking up slightly.

He chuckled a bit and nodded.

"Don't worry, I like you too." He smiled.

"Really?" I asked.

He nodded again. I smiled at him.

"I could kiss you right now! But since your trapped in Mabel's body now..." I said.

He nodded again. I started to giggle, then turning to hysterical laughter. He gave me a confused look.

"What?" He asked.

"Karmas a bitch, isn't it?" I smirked, leaving the room dramatically.

"I told you I didn't do it! I didn't mess up your hair!" He laughed from behind me.

"Lies, lies, lies." I smirked.

Thank you, ugly rug, for this adorable, amazing, new boyfriend.
