Chapter 18: Vows between Women

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" yelled Wendy

"You girls are still going to try and steal Dipper away from me after everything that's happened to him! Do you have no respect for his decisions?!"

"Well no offense Wendy but look where his decisions have gotten him." Pacifica said harshly.

All three girls flinched at the statement. Even Pacifica knew she took it too far.

"Well let me make this clear! You two-"

"OH MY GOD JUST STOP IT ALREADY! DIPPER IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND YOU GIRLS ARE BICKERING LIKE THE SCHOOL GIRLS YOU ARE!" Mabel shouted.

The three girls didn't even notice Mabel had showed up. It must have been hard to leave Dipper but to show up to nothing but fighting? This isn't what Pacifica planned for Mabel.

"Mabel?! H-How's Dipper?" asked Pacifica.

"The doctors said he's going to be fine… He has a cracked skull and a few broken ribs but he should be able to make a full recovery in time."

All the girls gave a sigh of relief.

"The doctor also said that he was lucky not to suffer any brain damage and that it was a miracle that he stayed awake as long as he did with his concussion. Staying awake long enough to get treatment before he passed out was what made all the difference."

Wendy had tears again. She was so happy that Dipper was alive and that she did everything she could to keep him awake."

What about my father? We still haven't heard from him?" asked Pacifica.

"He was too busy helping my brother with his medical insurance and contacting my parents and Grunkle Stan. He decided it would be best for me to take a break and come tell you guys myself."

But Mabel was going to change the subject. It's about time the girls knew where they stood and everything was out in the open. Dipper had gone through too much as it is. And Mabel wanted this resolved before he recovered.

"Is it really that hard to accept that you all love Dipper the same as each other! Yes, it's true that Dipper chose Wendy but not because there was anything wrong with Tambry or Pacifica. All three of you had an equal chance to date Dipper and Dipper just made the most 'logical' choice. Wendy was his first crush. He completely knew how he felt about her the most so he chose her. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love Tambry or Pacifica! I mean god! Is this what you're going to welcome him back to when he recovers! The stress of having to choose to be with only one of the girls he cares for and to drop the other two out of his life, just because you will never be able to trust each other when he dedicates himself to one girl!"

"If being in a relationship with you girls are going to cause him even more problems than this! I..I'd rather you not date my brother at all!"

Wendy, Tambry, and Pacifica were hurt by Mabels words. With everything that's happened to Dipper, her sisterly love has pushed her over the edge trying to think of what's best for him.

"Well what exactly do you want us to do Mabel! Dipper has to choose one of us!"

"WHO SAYS HE HAS TO CHOOSE ONE OF YOU!" Mabel yelled.

"God you girls are so closed minded…" Mabel mumbled to herself as she rubbed her temple.

"What are you talking about Mabel?" asked Wendy confused.

"Has it ever occurred to you to try and share Dipper?" Mabel asked.

The girls stared at her blankly.

"Have you ever thought that Dipper could possibly have a relationship with all three of you?"

"Mabel that's craz-"

"OH COME ON! It's not totally outrageous! It's a part of other cultures overseas. It's not as crazy has having a planned wedding for two people who have never met before."

Pacifica knew what Mabel was talking about. There were many different cultures and Pacifica got to experience them first hand with her parents' parties. She once met a man who said he had 10 wives at home because his religion allowed it. And planned marriages between Asian cultures were no stranger to these kinds of practices. She thinks it's called…a harem?

"Are you really thinking about this?!" Wendy said looking at Pacifica.

Pacifica gave a deep sigh.

"It's not uncommon as Mabel said in other cultures but how she thinks it will work between us is a mystery to me. I don't see how we can share Dipper." Pacifica stated.

"And why is that? Do you doubt Dipper? Do you think he'd love you less?" Mabel argued.

"No…" admitted Pacifica. She knew if anybody could pull this off it would be Dipper. He was always good at the complicated stuff.

"But isn't that for men who think of women as objects or trophies?" commented Tambry.

"Do you believe Dipper is that kind of person? Do you think he sees you as just trophies to be collected?" Mabel argued.

"Of course not..."

"Then what's the problem!"

"How can you just expect us to share Dipper! I mean… we've never even thought of having a relationship like that. When I imagine myself getting married, I don't imagine two other girls walking down the aisle with me to marry the same dude! I don't imagine sharing Dipper and taking turns on our honeymoon!" argued Wendy

The other two girls agreed. The thought never crossed their mind. It wasn't how they were raised. It wasn't in their culture. It was kind of scary not knowing what a relationship like that would bring or cost.

"So the only reason you girls are not going to share Dipper and make him suffer more is because you all are too selfish to share him, and scared because you were raised closed minded to other ways of living? Because either way I see it, this is your only option to make things easy on Dipper and not have each other's hearts broken." Said Mabel.

The three girls were deep in thought. Not able to believe that they were actually thinking of this and taking Mabels option seriously.

"If you say it like that, it makes us look like the bad guy…"

Mabel sighed.

"Think of it this way… you know each of you love Dipper and would be willing to do anything for his happiness. And you can't trust that kind of love when you push it away. But if you accept it and welcome it, you can trust each other, that the others would never do anything to hurt Dipper and to always put his happiness first."

"In a way, you look out for Dipper together. And I'll admit…An idea like this would make Dippers head explode. Deep down he probably thinks he doesn't deserve any of you. But we all know the kind of person Dipper is. He deserves so much more. He's had it rough most of his life and I'll admit I never make it easier on him. And in his twin sisters opinion, I think it's about time for the person he is to get recognized in the way he deserves. Not like how he ended up in the hospital in the first place."

Mabel's words were gentle, understanding and spoken from the heart. How could the girls disagree with her?

Wendy suddenly mumbled something into her hands as she covered her face which caught the others by surprise.

"What?" asked Pacifica

"I SAID OK!... I'm willing to try this if you girls are. I just want to be able to peacefully be with Dipper and I'm willing to do anything to not have to worry about him getting stolen from me. At least in this situation, there's no way Dipper could be taken from me. I'm willing to…share Dipper… in any form as long as we can be together." Wendy announced with a blush on her face as red as her flaming hair.

Mabel was surprised Wendy was the first to agree. Dipper chose her fair and square the first round. She thought Wendy would cling to that fact to deny the idea. But her openness and longing for a secure relationship with Dipper surpassed her own jealousy and selfishness.

The two girls looked at Wendy surprised. They never expected Wendy, the one who was already in the relationship with their lover to accept them into such a crazy relationship.

"W-What do you think Tambry?" Pacifica asked nervously as she fidgeted in place.

"I'm surprised Wendy accepted such a relationship… I do feel a little guilty though for some reason for forcing such a decision having to be made… Wendy…You're my best friend… We've grown up together in Gravity Falls. We've known each other for literally like forever. I think we've lost sight of that when we admitted our feelings for Dipper… If I had to do this kind of relationship with anybody. If I have to share the love of my life with anyone… it would be you. Because I trust you."

"Tambry…" Wendy said shocked.

"And Pacifica… I haven't known you as long. And for a long time I thought you were a rich spoiled snobbish-"

"Ok I get it!" Pacifica interrupted.

"But in this short amount of time, I've seen how strong and independent you are. How much weight has been placed on your shoulders because of just having the last name Northwest. You are younger than me and yet I don't think I could ever do some of the things you can. I've seen your kindness and caring for others even if you do it from the sidelines or in the shadows. It's why you make such a great cheerleader. I've also seen how much you love Dipper just as much as we do. I know I can trust you to make Dipper happy too. And if things get tough I know you're the kind of person who will keep us on track in this kind of relationship." Tambry said sweetly.

Pacifica looked over to Wendy who silently agreed and nodded to Pacifica in her agreement.

Pacifica was quietly overjoyed that the older women thought of her and respected her so much. She always felt like she was competing with them. From their curvier figures to their dating experience. Pacifica always thought they thought lowly of her which was why she tried to hold herself up high as a Northwest in front of them.

"I know I can be snobbish. And bossy. But I always felt like I was competing with you girls. You are older than me and have so much more experience with this kind of stuff. I've never dated anyone so I'm clueless when it comes to love except for the fact that I truly love Dipper. I've always had to figure out and do things on my own. And I know the way I was raised is different from you girls but I truly am jealous of your friendship with each other… friends name came easily for me. They were either bought by my parents or looking for something in return. That's why I fell in love with Dipper. He doesn't see me for how rich my family is. He looks at me for who I am. And now I know that you girls do too…If you're willing, I'd gladly be in a relationship with Dipper and you. Because I've found out I not only trust you…but look up to you as well."

Wendy grabbed Pacifica and Tambry on each side of her and pulled them in for a hug which made a peaceful moment of bliss as everyone's true feelings were now out and a giant weight was lifted from their shoulders.

Unfortunately, the silence was broken.

"Oh My God! It sounded as if you three were giving each other wedding vows! This is kinda super romantic!" Mabel squealed.

"W-Well I think it was more of an a-agreement or p-promise between each other." Pacifica stuttered embarrassed.

"And tell me what exactly is the difference between that and vows? Huh?" Mabel teased.

"It might as well be wedding vows. I think we can all agree that we plan on marrying that lucky dipstick sometime in the future." Tambry chuckled.

"Well I'm just glad things are finally settled and for some reason I've been more relaxed around you girls than I ever have?" questioned Wendy.

"We are making a commitment to each other. There's no reason to hide our true selves. We are no longer putting on a façade since we are now tied together which makes us feel more relaxed." commented Tambry.

"Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to explain this to my parents…" Pacifica spoke out loud to herself.

This got the other girls thinking too. They never thought about how their family and friends would react.

"I think I'm safe…" commented Tambry.

"I mean… my parents are actually two moms."

"What?!" yelled Mabel and Pacifica.

"Dude that totally slipped my mind!" Wendy chuckled.

"Yeah…I mean, if they are ok being open lesbians, then they are probably ok with me sharing my future husband. Besides they'd probably be ecstatic for me being in a relationship with not only a guy but two other girls." Tambry chuckled at the thought.

"Hmmm… I wonder if I should learn some of their techniques?" Tambry spoke out to herself.

"TECNIQUES OF WHAT!?" Screamed Mabel and Pacifica with hot flush faces.

"TAMBRY!" Wendy screamed a scarlet red.

"What?! It's something we need to think about."

"This is not the time or the place!" Pacifica stated blushing.

Tambry was busting out laughing now with Pacifica's innocent behavior. It was cute if Tambry dared say. And Wendy was acting even more childish on the subject so she couldn't even speak as she used her red hair dangling in her face to hide her scarlet red complexion.

"Anyways…" Wendy tried to change the subject.

"How do you think my dad and brothers are going to take the news?" Wendy asked.

"Well of course they are going to be protective! You are your fathers only daughter and you've been like a mother to your brothers since forever. But I wouldn't say there wouldn't be slight hatred of Dipper." Said Tambry

"What makes you say that?" Wendy asked a little worried.

"Come on Wendy. They are guys! If anything, they'd be jealous of Dipper dating three beauties. But also since your one of them, that might not sit well since you are a precious irreplaceable part of their family. When the subject comes up, unless you want Dipper to end up in the hospital again after he recovers, you have to make it clear to them that this was your decision and for your own happiness." Tambry explained.

"Family is one thing. But what about school? I'm sure they are going to have the exact same problem?" Mabel brought up.

"Uuuuugh…" All three girls groaned out.

"School…we had problems with us just confessing to Dipper. What's going to happen when word gets out that he's actually dating all three of us!"

"It's not a pretty thought." Deadpanned Tambry

"Can't we just keep it a secret?" asked Wendy

"You know that will never work out… I mean we are already acting normal around each other. How is that going to look when we are all with Dipper in public. If we aren't at each other's throats or me and Tambry are getting close to Dipper in front of Wendy, they will figure somethings up anyways." Pacifica said.

"I think the best strategy would be to come out with it." Mabel said.

"Out of the frying pan and into the fire huh?" questioned Tambry nonchalantly.

"It's going to take a lot of work. People might look at you differently because of it too. But if a relationship and maybe even a life with Dipper is the end game…"

"Pffft…Worth it!" Tambry exclaimed.

"One of us will have to be at his side every moment of the day. But that shouldn't be too hard with the three of us." Wendy said.

"Besides it's not like the school is 100% going to be against it, right? I mean, we have people who can support us right?" Pacifica said questioningly.

"We'll figure out who's supportive later…I think we are getting way ahead of ourselves. We haven't even talked to Dipper about this whole situation and what we've decided." Tambry explained.

"I mean…we don't even know how Dipper will feel about this. Or if he's up for it."

"Take it from me when I say he has enough of a hard time saying no to the three of you…Besides… are you really going to give him a choice?" Mabel said as she gave an evil knowing grin.

The three other girls grinned too at the thought. Even if he did try to say no, they were sure each of their unique… 'feminine charms' would convince him otherwise. The girls have put too many of their feelings into him anyways. Dipper was a Mamby Lamby, who in his innocence had strolled into a wolf packs den… and there was no escape from heated wolves who already have been eyeing the innocent Lamby for a taste.

But unfortunately, their troubles had just begun, since a certain soon to be convict had escaped with nothing but revenge on the mind.

WAZ UP! Wow! Girls can be scary! But as long as you keep an open mind I guess things can work out right?Unfortunately, even though they agreed to share Dipper, will things get any easier for him? It might not if a certain someone is on the loose ;)
