Dipper stared ahead with steely resolve as Soos parked the truck behind the Mystery Shack.

"Dipper, dude? Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, I know you got the cure and everything, but there's no coming back from this kind of thing."

Dipper opened the door and got out. "I have to, Soos. I can't ask anybody else to do this. Not with how the cure has to be administered."

Thankfully Dipper found his clones and the Pacificas right where he left them. Although something seemed to be a little off. Three of his clones sitting down on the ground next to each other looking altogether displeased.

Walking over to them he made sure to adjust the cure to one arm. "Hey! What's going on here?"

"Affection caught us." explained one of them.

"So?"

"So watch what happens when one of us tries to leave..." another clone said. He got up and walked exactly three steps away from the others before getting tackled to the ground by Affection.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY PUT!!! I...Oh! Hi Dipper. Or should I say 'Dipper Supreme'?"

"Sigh. Affection, what are you doing?"

"Rounding up all the Dippers of course!! I got the one on the left playing paddycake with Happy, the one in the middle was trying to cheer Remorse up and the one on the left..."

"Okay!! Let me rephrase! WHY are you doing this?!" Dipper interrupted.

"Oh come on, FIVE Dippers? Well four and a half technically considering Paper Jam Dipper. I've been trying to catch them one at a time, more fun that way, and when I have them all I'm just going to dive in and..."

"ENOUGH!!" Dipper shouted. "You won't be doing anything because I got the cure!!"

This seemed to catch the attention of everyone around him. "Yes, everyone gather around...Fear, are you chewing gum?"

Instead of actually saying anything she blew a bubble until it popped.

"I'm going to need help. Guys," his clones stood in attention. "Go inside and get Mabel for me?"

"Sure thing, man."

As the clones ran off inside, Dipper was left alone with the Pacificas, staring at him.

"So? How's this cure work, Dipper?" Anger asked crossing her arms.

"Yeah, about that. I think it would be better explained by Mabel, I do it and...you might think differently of me."

"I'm sorry, but what has that got to do with anything?" asked Remorse.

"Well..."

"Unless..." Affection got close to Dipper and started to twirl her finger in his shirt. "You actually care what we think about you..."

"Um..." was the only word Dipper could get out. He pulled on the collar of his shirt to relieve some of the heat she was causing him to create.

"Dipper!!" Mabel called.

"Saved by the sis!" Dipper muttered. He ducked away quickly accidentally causing Affection to fall forward.

"Dipper, what's going on? Your Not-So-Mini-Mes are saying you need my help to explain the antidotey type cure?"

"Yeah, Mabel, it's how that cure needs to be administered that's problem. Doing it is going to be embarrassing enough, but explaining it...I think they might buy it better coming from someone else."

"Well what is it?"

Blushing Dipper whispered what needed to be done in to her ear. After a moment, Mabel bit the bottom of her lip and brought her hands up to her cheeks.

"Oh My Gummibears!! You actually have experience with this method, AND..." she took out her camera. "It'll bright up a lot of scrapbook-ortunities!"

"NO!!" Dipper shouted. "That is ENOUGH with the camera!!" He slapped the camera out of her hands causing it break on the ground. "We are DONE with the camera!!"

Just when Dipper was about to feel guilty about his actions, Mabel lifted up his hat and pulled out a disposable camera.

"What?! But how did you..."

"We got a gift shop, a doy, I sort of developed a habit of taping disposable cameras to the roof your hat."

"Where was this passion when we were hunting the Gobblewonker?"

"That's not important right now. I'll go explain to the girls."

Mabel found the Dipper clones had become recaptured by Affection, who was currently trying to hug them all in one go. However, she didn't seem to be having a lot of luck as there seemed to be just too many for her to hold all at once. "Ehe he he heh ha ha! All your Dippers are belong to me!"

"Affection, you know those Dippers were made from a photo copier right?" asked Dipper.

Affection's eyes seemed to glass over. "Wh-What?"

"Yeah, magic photo copier from the Shack. Weird, I know; but those Dipper's are essentially made of paper. They won't last."

"Which brings us to the cure." Mabel added. "The only way it can be given and have it work is if it is mixed with the saliva of someone the person already feels an emotional connection with. Who is, of course, Dipper!!"

"Then wait...how is he supposed to give it to us?" asked Happy.

"He's just going to use reverse CPR on you girls with the antidote, he's a licensed life guard you know."

"ASSISTANT Life Guard!" Dipper corrected.

"Wait...'reverse' CPR? Then does that mean..." Fear gripped her cattle prodder.

"Yep. He's going to poor in to his mouth, then in to yours one at a time."

Affection smirked at Dipper. "You sly dog..."

Dipper blushed but hung his head in shame, rubbing his arm.

"Hey now! The very reason Dipper wanted ME to tell you this was just because he wanted to avoid looking like what you're thinking."

The Pacificas looked at him only to have Dipper tip his hat over his eyes to avoid looking at them.

"Hey," Happy placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay Dipper, we understand."

"MAYBE YOU UNDERSTAND!!" Fear shouted. "BUT I'M NOT GOING THROUGH THAT!!" Fear had her cattle prodder pointed at Dipper at arms length.

Happy turned back to the group. "Say what now? We can't have different opinions, we're all parts of the same Pacifica, right Dipper?"

"Actually I've been noticing this for a while now, you've all been becoming more increasingly independent from one another. I think that if we don't get you back to one Pacifica, you might all become separate individuals and never have the chance of becoming whole again."

Happy smiled at Dipper, but unlike her other smiles in the past this time it seemed to be sad smile. "Then get to work, Dipper."

Dipper smiled back and then adjusted his hat. "Alright then. We should probably get the hardest out of the way first. Fear, I'm looking at you!"

Fear remained frozen where she stood, cattle prodder still in hand...right before she ran off screaming like a maniac, dropping the cattle prodder on the ground and out of her mind.

Dipper face palmed yet again. "Oh for the love of..." he turned to his clones. "Can I get a little help here?"

Without another word the Dipper clones chased after Fear. Even with four pursuing one, somehow Fear managed to stay ahead of them.

"How can she be so fast?" Dipper asked turning to Happy.

"What can I say? I like to stay fit. Mabel? Ideas?"

"Four legs are faster than two!!" Mabel stuck two fingers in to her mouth and blew. The loud whistle noise echoed through the forest and the Mystery Shack. After a moment Waddles came running out of the gift shop running towards Mabel. Mabel quickly hopped on to Waddles back who reered back his front hooves like a horse.

"HI HO WADDLES!!! AWAY!!!"

Dipper and the other Pacificas had their jaws drop as Mabel rode after fear singing the Lone Ranger tune. "Dadaladadala dadalalala dada!"

"I'm sorry, but is this normal for Mabel?" asked Remorse.

"With Mabel, there's no such thing as normal." explained Dipper.

"Looks like fun though." added Happy.

"OOF!!!" grunted Fear.

"Sounds like she caught her. Time to get to work." Dipper sighed.

Walking over to Fear, Dipper found her pinned on the ground by Waddles laying on her torso. Dipper took a mouthful of potion and swished it around in his mouth. Fear was starting to panic but she couldn't move since Mabel was making sure that Waddles stayed put. Dipper puckered his lips and placed them around Fear's, she kicked in panic as the liquid poored in to her mouth.

In a blinding grey flash Fear disappeared and changed in to a grey ball of light.

Normally, Dipper would be fascinated by such a thing, but right now he was a man on a mission. He wiped some saliva away with the back of his hand.

"Dipper!!" Mabel cheered. "That could be considered your first kiss with a real actual girl!! What do you have to say about that?!"

Dipper, said nothing, for instead of using actual words he blew a bubble of bubblegum instead and spat it out.

"One down," He turned to Remorse. "Four to go."

Remorse shook her head frantically as Dipper got closer. "I'm sorry, Dipper!! But I don't think this is HOW or WHY I want my first kiss!!"

"No Remorse," Dipper grabbed her by the shoulder. "I'm the who's sorry this time."

Taking another swig with his free hand, Dipper once again swished it around in his mouth. From where Mabel was, she could only see Dipper's back but if she had to hazard a guess she would say it must have been something, considering Remorse's arms and legs were flailing all over the place.

Just like Fear she turned in to a ball of light too, but a blue one. It dashed off to the grey ball of light and collided with it. In bright flash the two balls of light were replaced with one Pacifica. Her outfit was a mesh of grey and blue, what her old self would call a 'fashion disaster', she seemed to be having a hard time staying on her feet.

"Alright." Dipper shook the bottle and saw there was still more than half left inside. "Who's next?"

"That would be me." Happy stepped forward.

"What?! No, Happy..." Mabel sniffled. "I thought you'd want to go last. I mean, we've had a lot of fun just palling around and..."

"I know Mabel, but from the looks of that Pacifica, happiness is must to keep them balanced...literally. It has to be me...but hey, I had fun with you..." she smiled at Dipper. "Both of you, and that means there's a part of Pacifica that wants to enjoy herself with you two too. You just have to help her let it out, that's all."

Dipper smiled. "Who would have thought that you'd be the most mature out of all of them?"

Happy took off her bow and handed it to Mabel. "Mabel, when I'm one Pacifica again I want you to give me back this bow. Even if I try to tell you I don't want it back, give it to me anyways. It means a lot to me, because you made it for me..." Happy leaned in and whispered to her. "And your brother thinks it's a good look for me. Teehee."

Mabel said nothing but gave her a supporting wink.

Dipper took a smaller dose of the cure and swished it around in his mouth. Before he could make the first move though, Happy cupped his chin and brought her lips to his. Dipper wasn't even fully aware it happened as the liquid poured in to her mouth.

In flash of yellow light, Happy was turned in to a ball of light just like the others. As this yellow ball of light joined with the wobbling Pacifica, a streak of yellow was added to her outfit. She suddenly regained her balance by planting her feet firmly on the ground, but she held her head like she was having some kind of headache.

"Next up..." Dipper turned to see Anger glaring at him. This would normally be nothing out of the the unusual except for the fact she had a strong blush on her face. "Anger."

"Oh no you don't!!" Anger snapped. She started hopping in place with her fist outstretched while her other fist wound up for a hay-maker. She reminded Dipper of that famous angry Disney duck, what his name? Donavin? Donald? It didn't matter. "Just TRY it, DipLips!!"

"Oh boy, I'm going to need some help on this one. Fellas?"

As if on command his clones circled around Anger. "Don't any of you even think about..."

"GET HER BOYS!!!" Dipper ordered.

The clones swarmed on Anger pinning her to the ground. Each clone taking a limb to hold her down.

"Better hurry up man, she's a real fighter!" said one of the Dipper clones.

In a hurried panic he chugged most of the remaining contents of the bottle in to his mouth. He swished it around in his mouth rather hurriedly before planting his lips on a writhing anger and shooting the contents of his mouth in to her's.

There was a bright red flash which knocked Dipper and his clones off of their feet. The red ball of light seemed to float in place for a moment before rocketing towards Pacifica like it was shot out of a cannon. Joining Pacifica, her outfit was now to be considered by one...rainbowed. She stopped holding her head but stood up straight with a very serious expression on her face.

Shaking the bottle lightly, Dipper could hear that there was only just barely enough left inside for one last Pacifica.

"That just leaves..." Dipper turned around to see Affection applying lipstick to herself. "Affection...I was wondering why you weren't at the front of the line."

"Dipper, please..." Affection rolled her eyes as she put away her compact. "A girl HAS to get ready, ya'know."

Taking a breath spritzer she gave her mouth a quick spray. "I'm ready for you now, big boy!"

"HA! She called you a big boy." Mabel laughed.

"Mabel, you're not helping!!" snapped Dipper.

Affection rested her arm on her forehead in a mock faint. "Do it quickly, Dipper."

Dipper rolled his eyes in response.

"No seriously, before I change my mind!"

Dipper loaded up with the last of the potion.

"Hold me!" Affection ordered.

Dipper grunted annoyingly but did as she said.

"Now dip me, Dipper! Live up to your name!"

Dipper lowered his eyelids half way commencing the act while Mabel let out a high pitched shriek of excitement.

Staring up at Dipper with glassed over eyes she said "I'm ready for you now."

Deciding to just get it over with Dipper placed his lips on her's. That was when she took over. Almost immediately she switched positions with Dipper, dipping him instead. Gravity made it very difficult to get the potion in to Affection's mouth.

"MMMMMMmmmm!!" were the only noises of protest Dipper could make.

He tried to break the kiss but Affection quickly grabbed the back of his head making escape impossible.

When Affection changed the position to even footing the potion finally sloshed in to her mouth.

With a loud *POP!* she broke the kiss and Dipper fell to the floor.

"And now I rejoin the others in peace."

Turning in to a bright ball of hot pink light and shot towards the waiting Pacifica. It rejoined her in a bright flash revealing Pacifica in her original outfit. Pacifica stretched out her arms in front of her and flexed her fingers, then she smiled. However, her smiled disappeared when she saw Dipper.

Her eyes watered, a frown etched itself in, and a rather large blush formed on her face. "I..." she closed her eyes tight before running off. "I need to go!!"

"Pacifica wait!!" Dipper called.

He was about to chase after her when one of his clones grabbed him by the shoulder. "Whoa dude! Let her go. She has got a lot to think about now."

Dipper sighed. "I know. You guys are right. Wait, what am I going to do with you guys?"

"Don't worry about it, Dipper."

"Yeah, we're ready to be disintegrated."

"No...really? Why?" asked Dipper.

"In case you haven't noticed man, the dating pool around here just got a lot smaller."

"Can't split a girl four ways, we all remember the last time you tried cloning."

The Dipper clones nodded in agreement having Dipper's memories.

"Wait..." Dipper interrupted. "Don't you mean five? I mean I know the copier exploded after Paper Jam Dipper, but shouldn't he still count?""

The clones grumbled in agreement muttering things like "Yeah." and "I guess."

"Wait..." Dipper looked around at his surroundings "Where IS Paper Jam Dipper?"

Meanwhile a train was traveling across a bridge when the doors to one of it's box cars opens up. Sitting down with his legs dangling out of the car was Paper Jam Dipper.

"NEM NEM NEM NEM NEM NEM NEM NEM NEM*!!"

As he looked up in to the starry sky, he saw rainclouds starting to form and shrank visibly. "Nem nem nem nem nem*."
