Excited about heading to themainframe

[pigdazzler]

See I knew you'd come around, I just knew you would! I had this little feeling you'd say "Hey, Mabel's a fun girl! She's a real chip off the ol' block! Let's let her go have some fun in some of those games everybody else keeps going to!" Plus I guess you know letting Dipper be in a game but not me just wouldn't be fair.

C'mon, you're the eldest twin in your family, we can relate! We've got something special going, riiight?

[She snickers, grinning from ear to ear.]

I'm just excited to see who my partner's gonna be! Whoever they are I bet they're gonna be adorable!

[sweater_star]

Aww, you get to be in a game! So lucky!

[hot_dawg]

I know, right? I'm hopin' I get that little tadpole guy, he looks *SO RAD*. But all of them do! I don't care if my partner is adorable or awesome, it's gonna be cool no matter what!

You're a twin? Can you two read minds!?

[robotfightclub]

[...What is wrong with every child ever?]

You know that adorable partner is gonna have to fight with other not-as-adorable monsters, right?

[pigdazzler]

Hi other me! Yeah I know, isn't it great? I was getting tired of seeing Dips have all the fun.

[pigdazzler]

Same here! I really hope I get that one that looks like a little pig though....I just can't help it!

[Cause, yaknow, PIGS.

Suddenly she GAASPS.]

People ask us that ALL the time! Like, if there's a twin telepathy thing or something. A lot of people think it's fake, but I think it's real. It's like a sixth sense or something.

[pigdazzler]

[Hiccup's a fifteen year old teenage boy, while Mabel's a 12 year old girl. Their brains work in vastly different ways, Arcee. Might wanna keep an eye on this one.]

Pssshh, I'm not worried about that! It's gonna be great! It's not like I haven't fought monsters before.

[Technically you haven't REALLY, Mabel, but at least the experience is there.]

[hot_dawg]

Aw man, I love pigs! They're so cute! I even got to be one, once! But that was.. not so fun.

Oooh! What kinda things can you do with your ~*twin powers*~?

[robotfightclub]

[Hiccup wasn't really the one she was thinking of. She's not really a stranger to this line of thinking when it comes to, erm...young women.]

...

Except you're not the one doing the fighting. What are you gonna do if your partner gets hurt?

[pigdazzler]

[ANOTHER GASP.]

You do?! ....I think this is gonna be the start of a beautiful friendship~

[Slow down Milo, you're gonna give the girl a heart attack at this rate.]

...W-wait, you got to BE a pig? Dude, you've gotta tell me what happened!

Well I can't exactly read Dipper's mind or anything, but it's reeeally not that hard to figure out what he's thinking about. Plus I can kinda tell when something's up, even if I'm not around.

[pigdazzler]

Well I'll just have to patch them up! No self respecting person goes around not knowing a little first aid.

[hot_dawg]

Heck yeah it is! Fin bump- I mean, fist bump! [He holds out his fist. DONT LEAVE HIM HANGING, GIRL.]

[Ooh, he seems to considerably lose steam at that. He putters out a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck.] I dunno, are you sure you wanna hear that? S'kind of a long story!

Oh yeah, I get that! I mean, with figuring 'em out, n' stuff. I can kinda do that with my bro Oscar! We're together ALL the time though, so that probs has something to do with it.

[robotfightclub]

[What? Do you think this is some kind of worldwide pillow fight--don't answer that.]

You know all the band-aids and happy thoughts in the world aren't gonna stop it from dying, right?

[pigdazzler]

[She grins and readily bumps his fist in return.]

Course I am! I mean you got to be a PIG for goodness sake! That's the most awesome thing I've ever heard!

Uh-huh, that's exactly how it is with me and Dips! We're almost never apart. ...Are you sure you and your bro Oscar aren't twins too?

[pigdazzler]

[Yes, actually. She'd much prefer it be EXACTLY THAT the second she shows up.

Mabel's expression falls at that for a split second, before she huffs, putting her hands on her hips.]

Well I'm not gonna have a sour attitude about it! I doubt something that bad will even happen anyway.

[robotfightclub]

[Oh to be young and happy again.]

Well I'm sure you can tell that to the other people who've had their partners die on them.

[pigdazzler]

[That causes her to falter a bit more, her frown deepening.]

Well I didn't....know they've actually....died...

....b-but I'll make sure mine doesn't! I'll keep my partner safe and protected, no matter what I have to do!

[hot_dawg]

Hoo, ok then! Well, lessee... so, first off, I'm actually a fish! I live in a fishtank and all. Anyways, this one time, I wake up and I'm a people- weird, right? But I didn't realize it at first! I thought I was SUPPOSED to be like this! And then I figured out I wasn't- and it was really, really scary ok,I had no idea how I was supposed to get back home!

Some of my friends tried to help me out, but they just zapped my brain with a thingy and it sent me to a place where I was a pig- boy, they were way off! But it was kind of a good thing, because when I got sent to the pig world I met this talking apple, and he told me I had to find my true self, which was inside of a fishtank! So I found the fishtank and I woke up and everything was cool.

EXCEPT, it's not cool, because now I'm this again and it's really lame because I did all of that for nothing! It's just not fair!

[He sighs.] But I dunno, at least I'll get to have a cool monster friend.

Uh, y'know! That's a good question.. I'm pretty sure we're not! [Hrm. He taps his chin.] Maybe Oscar knows! I'll have to ask...

[robotfightclub]

[Well that's...better. Reality hurts a hell of a lot, but the sooner kids figure that out, the sooner they can avoid disasters.

Even if you do try everything to keep your partner safe and they die anyway--NO ARCEE STOP THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR THAT.]

...Good. Just keep that in mind and you should be good to go, kiddo.

[pigdazzler]

[...Anyone else in the world who heard that story might have thought Milo was absolutely nuts, but not Mabel. In fact, it looks like she believes every word of his tale. She hangs on to those words earnestly until his story is finished, and gasps loudly with awe.]

WOOW, so you're actually a FISH! That's so awesome! But not so awesome about all that other stuff. I'd figure being a pig would be really cool, but at least that pig world helped you get back to normal, right?

[As normal as Milo's normal might be, anyway.]

Don't worry though, being a person isn't all bad! I'll teach you everything I know about people!

And yeah, you should! I bet you guys totally are twins and just don't know it yet.

[pigdazzler]

[Mabel nods, folding her hands behind her back.]

...I'm guessing you're in this place too if you know so much about what has happened to people's partners there. ...What's yours like?

[robotfightclub]

[Right. People's partners...]

He's... different. Definitely not what I'm used to.

[And adorable, but she'd never admit that out loud.]

Despite everything, we actually make a pretty good team. Honestly, I haven't seen a partner combo that hasn't worked out yet. These things have been waiting their whole lives for us, apparently.

[pigdazzler]

Wow, really? ...Can't say I'm surprised. Me and my pig Waddles are soul-mates, so I guess these partners kinda work the same way.

[She'd prefer Waddles as her partner in all honesty, but.....she probably wouldn't get very far with a pig.

Like, a literal pig.]

[robotfightclub]

Your... pig?

[Can...can pigs be soulmates? Don't humans eat those?]

[hot_dawg]

[He grins. Ohh, he knew he liked you for a reason, Mabel! It's such a relief to not have to explain himself all the time!]

Yeah! It probably would've been a whole lot cooler if it wasn't so frustrating.

[He gasps.] Aww! Really, you'd do that for me? Because that would be SO helpful! I forgot a lot of my people stuff when I remembered I was a fish.

Yeah, we totally could be! It'd be kinda hard to find out for sure, tho.

[pigdazzler]

Uh huh! Waddles is one of my best friends in the whole wide world!

[Bear with her, Arcee. She's...different.]
