Misguided Adventures and Magical Attachments (Completed)

Chapter 48

~Chapter 48~

"I feel like a fairy princess from the land of Rainbowgallia!" Mabel yelled happily, gracefully tumbling in the air three-hundred feet above Gravity Falls, letting the strange kaleidoscopic clouds filter through her fingers. She kicked aimlessly, making exaggerated grunting noises. "Die, Shmadows! Die!"

Waddles floated into her, wiggling and surprisingly getting the hang of it.

Her brother floated beside Bill, focusing with his magic to keep them weightless, lips quirked joyfully even as he began to grow tired. She's referencing a movie we watched as little kids.

The demon rolled his eye. Of course. He noticed the younger male growing tired. Bill took his hand, both relaxing him and helping him with the magic.

Immediately, the sweet offering soothed him all the way through. It would have even without the added power.

The girl twirled around multiple times in exhilaration, screaming and laughing wildly along with her pet swine. "Dipper! This is terrific! I could do this all day! Totally beats roller-ice-skating! Whoo-hoo!"

Bill grinned. "We can't hold you up all day, but I'm glad you're having fun." He glanced at Dipper, getting an idea as he pulled the kid in the air with him, matching Mabel's enthusiasm.

The newly-turned teen blushed, smile growing. He attempted to raise them higher, relishing the effortless ease. "Ha! As if! Us Shmadows can do anything!" he declared in his most accurate impression of superiority. Mischief glimmered in his eyes. "You are no match for us, Princess!"

Mabel gasped, beaming. "A liar and an evil meanie! How dare you underestimate me and my alicorn army! You'll pay!"

Bill titled his head, confused by all the fabricating banter he didn't understand. Shmadows weren't in his arsenal of established creatures, the term unfamiliar to him. Not knowing what to say, the blond focused on keeping them aloft, awkwardly smiling.

Mabel barreled into them, air-tackling her twin and severing the boyfriends from each other. She congratulated herself with a triumphant holler, both her and Dipper falling a good ten feet away from Bill before they stabilized.

Dipper lightly struggled in the brunette's grip, reaching his now-lonely hand dramatically towards his love, grin playful and amused. "Noooo! Aid me, my Shmadow brethren!"

Bill laughed, snapping his fingers to teleport Dipper to his side, hugging him close. "Ya' see, Shooting Star, we have powers you don't."

"My name is Princess Mabel of Rainbowgallia, and I shall vanquish you with magical alicorns! That you don't have! That can turn invisible! And are more real than the unicorn fakers that I happened to meet at the Mystery Shack! Yeah!" she averred, sticking her tongue out in a friendly taunt. Waddles, who had been aimlessly flailing, decided just then to make his path towards the two. "Double yeah!"

The apocalypse prince gave a chuckle and a slight shake of his head, the hug spreading an appreciably pleasurable warmth through him. Waddles was getting close. "Oh, anything but that!" he pretended to scream just as Waddles prodded him with his snout. "Gah! Mercy us! Please, it's our biggest weakness!"

Mabel was beaming like a victorious maniac, cackling under her breath.

Bill erupted in sprightly cachinnation, but faltered in a quick heaving breath, having to concentrate on keeping everyone afloat. They had been flying for a while and his human form didn't conduct Weirdmageddon's power as much as his triangle form. "I'm afraid flying time is over, kids. Let's get back before we fall." Which might be enjoyable except that he wasn't fond of the idea of Dipper hitting the ground.
