[She watches, a little confused at first but laughing as he runs off.]
Alright but you better hurry ya' butt!!
[Mabel pads off to the living room, plopping down on the floor by the tree (which by now has lots of little presents from friends underneath it as well as her gifts to Dipper) and waiting like she was told. She is so excited though it's easy to tell when Dipper comes back in. Almost bouncing in her seat...]
[It takes practically no time at all for Dipper to return, with a small, thin box in hand and a big grin on his face. He plops next to Mabel on the floor, and hands his neatly wrapped gift to her.]
It's not much but I think you'll really like it anyway. [And after she takes the gift, he looks around at the presents and gets more comfortable, sitting with his hands between his legs quite casually.]
So.. who's gonna open their presents first? [It's a little weird without their mom and dad around but.. they'll manage somehow.]
Awww I'm sure I'll love it! [She easily accepts it, sitting it in her lap before leaning over to get a really...really large box and passes it to Dipper. It feels pretty heavy too...wonder what's inside! She also doesn't comment on it at all, instead focusing on his question instead.]
Hmm...that's a good question...well, I got to go first last year, so how about you?
[Usually their parents would encourage one of them to go first, their mom cooing about taking pictures of them for the family scrapbook, but with it just the two of them...]
Oh wait!!
[Carefully setting her gift aside, Mabel gets up.]
[It is such a big box it's at least half the size of Dipper if he were standing. But she's pretty quick! She comes dashing back in, a CERES-roid camera in hand.]
I can't believe I almost forgot to take pictures...
[She sounds downright ashamed of herself, but soon she's plopping back down.]
Exactly! [She grins, lifting the camera to take a picture as he starts pulling off the paper. Under the paper is a cardboard box! She's laughing at the Waddles comment.]
Of course not. Waddles is enjoying the gift I gave him right now!
[It's a ball that you roll, and as it rolls a treat will fall out of one of the holes. It's like a puzzle!]
Hey, as long as he likes it. Running around like that'll probably help out, too. [He'll open and find.. the smaller box. Okay. He looks a bit curious but he'll move onto unwrapping that one now.]
No that's a lie. As he works, she takes pictures, and he finds there are only two more boxes to go through! And when he gets to his present, it's a medium sized clear plastic box full of disposable cameras He's probably got about twenty five of them in there.
[He'll get to his feet and follow after, plopping down beside her with a grumpy frown as he takes the camera from her.
But then he remembers what was in his present and a smile creeps it's way back on his face.]
Heh, okay Mabel. I'm ready when you are. [Pointing the ready camera at her. Unlike her, his present is only one box and when she opens it, she'll find a coupon for one pound of free candy from his shop. When she.. already gets free candy from him anyway.]

Oh no, Mabel, Christmas is today? [He hops out of bed, stumbling a little but catching himself before he falls.]
Go wait for me in the livingroom, okay? I gotta get your present! [And off he goes, running who knows where.]

I'll be right back, I gotta get something!
[And back she runs into their room...]

Okay! You go first Dipper! I'm ready now!
no subject
This is pretty heavy, Mabel.. did you wrap Waddles up and give him to me or something?
no subject
Of course not. Waddles is enjoying the gift I gave him right now!
[It's a ball that you roll, and as it rolls a treat will fall out of one of the holes. It's like a puzzle!]
no subject
Anyway, Don't mind him tearing into that box now.]
Right, the treat ball.. thing. [As Waddles totes by the two of them, nudging the ball along.]
Oh, looks like he's really enjoying it! [He's probably going to get fatter but oh well it's cute..]
ARE YOU QUITE DONE
He loves it! And I got some healthy treats for him too, so hopefully it won't ruin his diet any.
[Alright back to Dipper. Gotta take a picture of his face when he opens the box to find...a slightly smaller wrapped box!]
NEVER
GOD.
[Again underneath the wrapping paper is a cardboard box.
And...again...inside this box is a smaller wrapped box...]
no subject
Anyway opening to find.. the... smaller box..
Just giving her a Look before opening this one...]
no subject
Taking a picture of that Look with a grin.
Bet he can guess what he's going to find in this next box.]

Picture and a grin.]

And leaves.]
I'm going back to bed.
[That is how done he is with you right now, Mabel.]
no subject
Noooo you can't go back to bed!! You won't get to open your real gifts if you do! And trust me, you definitely want to open those!
no subject
Fiiiine. [Dangit Mabel you're so easy at persuading him..]

My turn then!
