drive by IF THIS ISN'T OK TELL ME

[gettinglaid]

Okay but the important part is when did you call dibs.

totally fine c:

[starry_forehead]

Um, when I decided I didn't mind being called it?

So age five. Probably five. Which is long before she picked that things name!

[gettinglaid]

Okay but - this is important, little dude - was she physically there to hear you say dibs on the name. There's protocol and shit for this you have to follow.

[starry_forehead]

What are you, the name police?

And yeah she was there when I said I was going to be called Dipper, no matter what my name really was. She's the one who helped me argue with our teachers.

[gettinglaid]

An ambassador, keep up.

Then she's got no leg to stand on, it's all you, kid.

[starry_forehead]

Pretty sure that's not a real thing.

[Then again he's seen a lot of stuff. So who knows.]

Yeah, I know. Look this is between me and my sister....so...

[gettinglaid]

It is, trust me. A ton of bullshit red tape.

I know, just looked like you could use an official in your corner if you wanted to use it.

[starry_forehead]

[Long pause.]



.....Can I get that in writing?

[This being the Pines family there is a 98% chance that official anything won't matter but he can try.]

[gettinglaid]

I'm an ambassador, not a notary. Shit's too much work.

[starry_forehead]

Ugh fine.

I'll deal with it myself.

[This is why adults aren't helpful.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

He can't call dibs on a name our parents gave him!

[starry_forehead]

YES I CAN!

[maybeitsmabelline]

NO YOU CAN'T. Plus! Your name is Dipper! Minior's name is Little Dipper! It's different!

[starry_forehead]

It's the same! It's like Gideon and Little Gideon, he uses both.

And ...and you're just going to shorten it and call him Dipper anyway!

[maybeitsmabelline]

Do you use Little Dipper? Is that what you want me to start calling you, Little Dipper?

[Do you really want to start having the height argument again?]

So? It's just a name, Dipper! Why are you getting so angry about it! He's a star and you have a star mark on your forehead! I named him after you because I missed you!

1/2

[starry_forehead]

Wait no...I don't!

[HE REALLY DOESN'T.]

2/2

[starry_forehead]

[Wait......oh. Oh! Dipper suddenly gets quieter.]

.....I thought you were just ...making fun of me.

[maybeitsmabelline]

Why would I be making fun of you? I woke up here and I was all by myself and I didn't know where you were and all I had was Little Dipper!

[She frowns, hugging her Minior to her chest.]

I named him after you because it made things a little less lonely.

[starry_forehead]

[He sighs and rubs his forehead.]

....I'm sorry Mabel.

You can name him that if you want. I just.... I woke up alone with a tree ghost and I didn't know where you were and I guess I kinda just ....got scared.

[And when he gets scared he can be nervous and paranoid.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

[Mabel's quiet for a moment as she just hugs her Minior close, the Pokemon seeming to understand that it was a serious moment and just huddling as close to her as he could.]

...I'm sorry too, Dipper. I really wasn't trying to make fun of you.

[She looks back at the 'gear and smiles a weak thing compared to her normal ones.]

So, how about we meet up and then we can keep exploring together, okay?

[starry_forehead]

Yeah....I know you wouldn't do that.

[Like not seriously. But it being the first thing he saw when he was in a paranoid nervous state, didn't help his gut reaction. He offers a small smile in return. A little more determined.]

Okay, let's find each other. We can explore and solve mysteries.

[gettinglaid]

Oho, then I guess that means your parents called dibs and you're both fucked.

[TUCKER DON'T JUST. SAY THOSE WORDS AROUND KIDS.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

[Mabel gasps, quickly covering what might be Minior's ears???]

You can't say words like that in front of--Miniors!

[gettinglaid]

Why. They're just words.

[This man is in the military. This man helps facilitate alien-human relations. This man has a child and is a father.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

[Mabel frowns--no that's more like a frowny pout.]

Because it's inappropriate! Little Dipper has never heard that sort of language before! What if he starts using it in front of all the other little Pokemon on the playground? Then they'll all start saying it and then all of them will be using inappropriate words!
