A/N: Here we are once again. Thank you to the reviews from Williebadger618 and Discovering the Universe! You two rock!

Dipper and Mabel's ages: 5

Dipper stared up, his feet frozen in place, and a look of horror glued to his face. Parents and children walked past him, kids either clinging onto their parents with tears flowing down their cheeks or kids shouting with excitement and joy.

"It won't be that bad, Dipper. It's just kindergarten." His mother's voice floated into his ears as he stared fixedly at the school.

"I don't wanna go…" Dipper mumbled, needing something to hug onto for support, but Mabel was busy gathering flowers at a nearby bush, and Dipper couldn't move near her or raise his voice to call her.

"Dipper, this won't be like pre-school…you'll be okay here." His mother said, ruffling his brown hair with her left hand. "Mabel, dear, come here!"

Mabel came skipping up to their mother, handing her a small bouquet of pink flowers. "Here, Mommy, I picked these for you!"

"Thank you, dear, these are lovely! Now, are you and Dipper going to school now?" Mabel's smile faded only slightly, glancing at Dipper to see his eyes still wide in fear.

"Okay…" Mabel said slowly, and Dipper grabbed her hand for comfort, and it did calm him ever so slightly.

"You'll be together all day. You two will be all right. If anyone teases you, just tell a teacher, now go ahead!" Their mother said quickly, giving them a little push, but it did Dipper no good.

"I'm not going to go." Dipper mumbled, and his mom sighed once again, and the twins could tell that she was growing irritated, and none of them enjoyed seeing her in that state.

"Come on, Dipper, it'll be okay! I won't let meanies be mean to you again!" Mabel promised, referring to only the last year, where Dipper was teased endlessly for the birthmark on his forehead. She attempted to pull Dipper by the hand she was holding, and Dipper reluctantly began to follow, much to their mother's relief.

"Be good, both of you! I'll see you after school!"

"Bye, Mom!" Mabel called after her, but Dipper remained silent and did not respond.

"Everyone sit around the circle!" Dipper and Mabel both sat on the circular, purple rug near the whiteboard. Dipper had a firm grasp on Mabel's right hand, and she didn't seem to mind, smiling at everyone while Dipper hid behind her.

"We're going to go around the circle, and you're going to introduce yourselves! Does that sound like fun?" The teacher asked with a broad smile on her face, brown eyes full of happiness, and everyone around the room nodded.

"Let's start with you!" She nodded towards a black haired boy with large glasses and a big smile on his face, excited to be the starting student. They moved around the circle, each kid introducing themselves to the rest of the class, until finally it was Dipper turn.

"What's your name, sweetheart?" The teacher asked, and Dipper only stared back for a while.

"My name's Dipper…" He mumbled, and the teacher's face looked puzzled for a split second.

"Sorry, dear, what was that?" She asked, and Dipper shrunk back in fear.

"His name's Dipper! He's my twin brother!" Mabel spoke up suddenly, and Dipper smiled slightly at her.

"Oh! And what's your name, dear?"

"My name is Mabel!" Mabel said happily, grinning at the rest of the students, some smiling back.

"What nice names! Your turn, what's your name?" The teacher turned to the next student.

"Do you wanna play, Dipper?" Mabel asked, the two walking around the playground. She was pointing towards the game near the edge of the playground, where the rest of the kids were playing tag and running around, giggling and screaming with joy.

"No thanks…" Dipper said slowly, frowning slightly. Though he had had a small conversation with another boy earlier that day, he still wasn't ready to play with the other kids.

"Oh, okay. Can I go play?" Mabel asked, quickly adding, "Just for a little bit!" Dipper nodded, and watched her run off, joining the game.

At the time, it didn't seem like a big deal … at the time, but now as Dipper sat a small bench, watching his twin sister play with the rest of the kids; it began to get a little lonely.

"Hey, why do you have that ugly mark on your forehead?" Dipper looked up suddenly, to see two boys looking at him with confusion.

"I…uh…" Dipper started, and one of the boys snickered.

"It looks weird. Why don't you talk to anyone? Are you some weirdo?" The other asked, and Dipper felt himself shrinking, wishing to melt into the ground.

"No…I-I'm not a weirdo…" Dipper stated, trying to seem more confident than he was.

"No, you look super weird. You must be a freak!" One boy yelled, laughing and pointing at Dipper. "Freaky boy, freaky mark, freaky-"

"Hey! My brother's not freaky!" Before Dipper could even realize how hard it was to hold back tears, he looked up to see Mabel marching away from the game which was still being played in the background.

"Ha! He's your brother? Are you a freak too?" The boy yelled, and Mabel glared hard at him.

"Of course not; you're the freaky one! Now go away, meanies!" Mabel yelled, and grabbed Dipper's hand, pulling him away from the two boys. "Come on, Dipper!"

The two walked halfway across the playground before either spoke again. "I wish I was like you, Mabel…"

"You will be! Just don't let the stupid-heads get to you." Mabel said simply, and Dipper grinned slowly.

"Okay…" He said slowly, and Mabel beamed at him.

And with that, the two twins walked away, hand in hand.

"Thank you, Mabel."

"You're welcome, Dipper."
