Dipper's POV:
"Mabel?" I called her name for the second time. Still no response. That's when I saw Mabel's door wide open.
I was really confused. She NEVER left it open. Ever. I knocked on the door. "Mabel, you in here?" I asked, even though I knew she wouldn't answer.
Even though the room was dark, I could still see her lying in her bed, facing the other way. I walked over to the side of her bed, no hesitation this time.
"Mabel?" No answer. I came to the conclusion she was asleep and was about to leave when something caught my eye.
Her fingers were moving under the covers. I smiled. She's faking. I knew it! I turned back towards her and shook her, but not too hard.
She slowly moved up. "Dipper!" She groaned. "Why did you wake me up?"
"Because you were already awake."
She turned to me and smiled. "How'd you know?"
I smiled back. "I'm your twin. You can't put anything past me." My smile faded. "So... why did steal Wendy's truck."
Her smiled faded as well and she let out a sigh. "I-I don't know." She began to twirl her hair again. Wow, she's done that a lot lately. "It's just- when I saw you two kissing, I guess I was, kind of, you know..." She took a deep breath. "Jealous." She looked away from me as she finished.

She was obviously surprised. "Huh?"
I tried my best to explain. "Listen, I have no clue why I kissed Pacifica. I dunno, it just happened. And you saved me from that, Mabel."
"Oh, wait a minute. You don't like Pacifica?" Now she was intrigued.
I shook my head. "I mean, she's a lot more fun that she used to be, and I think I actually like her as a friend, but I don't LOVE her." I looked down. "Besides, I'm in love with someone else."
I never meant to say that last sentence. Suddenly I saw that goofy grin that I knew so well forming on her face.
"Really? Who?" Yep, that was Mabel for you. Always wanted to know.
I didn't answer. I was trying to come up with another person, but my mind went blank. Dammit, brain! Now is NOT the time.
Mabel grabbed my shirt and shook me violently. "Tell me! I gotta know." She whined.
And that's when I decided. No more lying. I HAVE to get this off my chest now!
I took a deep breath. I tried sp
