Mabel was obsessed.

She didn't know how this had happened, but her room was cluttered.

With slash fanart.

It started out with that boy band Sev'ral Times. She thought two guys on there would be perfect together. Over time, she started pairing up boys more and more, until eventually the space under her bed was stuffed with fanart and fanfictions.

It was even worse now. Just yesterday she began to ship her brother and his "worst enemy" (or formerly worst enemy). And she realized how AMAZING they would be as a couple. It made perfect sense, really. Dipper had long gotten over that futile crush on Wendy. And Robbie was around the Mystery Shack more than ever, certainly not to flirt with the redhead, because she was taking one of her "breaks" on the roof. Robbie would go in the living room.

And watch TV.

On the couch.

RIGHT where Dipper was.

They would talk and playfully "argue" about things. To Mabel, it seemed as if they were flirting. Sometimes, Robbie would play a song for Dipper. The song was usually something that involved screaming, but even though Dipper hated this kind of music, he listened anyway.

When Mabel questioned Dipper about this, he denied it, and swore they have 'hated eachother forever'. Now they were 'sort-of-kind-of' friends. Still, Mabel had to wonder why her brother was STILL WEARING the shirt Robbie gave him at the teen's band's concert 3 days ago. Mabel didn't actually go to the concert, but Dipper talked about it nonstop for a day. That was enough to make her REALLY glad she missed it.

"So there I was, in the front row of Robbie's concert. And he signed this t-shirt and gave it to me- oh, and there was this one song I maybe liked-" he rambled on, his eyes shimmering with delight.

Wendy could verify this, of course, because she was the stage manager, and one of the only 3 people at the concert. The third person wasn't even there for the show, it was just a nearby old person complaining about the noise. Since Wendy was manager, she could recall all of the conversation at Robbie's house after they were finished.


"Hey, Robbie, your biggest fan was here again tonight," the drummer snickered, pulling out a soda from the minifridge. Giggling followed from the rest of the band. Robbie rolled his eyes and sat down on the worn couch, leaning back into the faded blue cushions.

"He's not my 'biggest fan'" he said, knowing they were referring to none other than Dipper Pines. "Anyways, we hate eachother. He probably just showed up to tease me about my music."

"You sure about that?" the other guitarist laughed. "The kid's more like a puppy dog. Following you around, waiting for your approval, wanting to lick you if he got the chance-"

"Shut up!" Robbie yelled. "Don't talk bad about Dipper, alright?"

"Ohhh, somebody's defensive!" the keyboard player singsonged.

"Wouldn't want anybody to hurt your BOYFRIEND!" the drummer mocked him, twirling her hair and batting her eyelashes jokingly.

Robbie crossed his arms, annoyed at his bandmates. What was so hard about understanding he and Dipper were... well, actually, he didn't really know himself. The younger teen was kind of a pest, a cute pest... Ok not so much a pest...

Whatever. He didn't want to admit any of that stuff.

"Guys, leave him alone," Wendy stepped in. "They're just kinda close-"

"Oh, they're WAY more than 'kinda close'. Why, just the other day, I saw them at them at the movies. Robbie's arm was around Dipper, and Dipper was falling asleep-"

"How would you even know this?" Robbie interrogated her. "Are you some kind of stalker?"

The drummer laughed, "It was a PUBLIC MOVIE THEATER. Besides, I was working the theater playing the animated movie you guys went to."

"Shows what you know. It wasn't an animated movie, it was a romantic drama!"

When he realized what he had confessed, his face turned red from embarrassment. Even WENDY was snickering now.

"Not that we were... actually on a date or anything..."


Wendy hesitantly told the story to Mabel for the seventh time. Mabel, listening intently, and making sure she got every detail correct, documented everything into a purple sparkly notebook that had the words "Operation Muffin" written on it in Sharpie. "Operation Muffin" is what she had nicknamed the task of getting Dipper and Robbie to be officially boyfriends, named after none other than their first words to eachother.

So far, Mabel had collected enough evidence to fill over half the book, but they STILL weren't together. She pondered over this for a while until coming to the perfect conclusion.

They were too proud to admit they liked eachother. They just needed that little push- and abracadabra- they would be making out in no time!

Hopefully Mabel would be the push they needed. Only, a little part of herself told her that maybe she should let them fall in love naturally.

But she would probably go CRAZY before that happened.

So I wrote about three chapters of this story while I was gone... it was a lot of fun to write!

Please read and review! I love your feedback on my stories :)

Update: I have no idea how old they are let's just say they're older than canon
