Dipper POV

I spend the couple of hours just cleaning up the bar. Boy these fried people sure know how to make a mess of things. Then finally the bar opened in the afternoon. I sat at the bar, taking a break.

"How are you doing dude?" I turn around and saw Soos. He is around to fix things; luckily I don't have to do the job. "Nothing much." I reply. Soos was a fella who works here to fix things around. He used to be a fighter but then he got into this accident and was able to fight any more so he work at a job here.

"What's eating you Dipper?" Soos asks. I sigh, "The usual." Soos sat next to me. "Cake sniffers that are after Mabel? You tried to be the big shot and everything just fell apart." "Yep." I agreed. Soos grab my shoulder, "Don't worry. Things will work out. Hey maybe I can teach you a few moves to throw a few hits so you don't get those bruises." Soos touches my temple and I wince.

You don't need those lessons. I can teach you.

Well Soos can teach me. He was a fighter before.

Well that has been years since he fight. I'm a big shot mobster. When I was born the first thing that my father taught me was how to fight. Trust me on this partner.

I-I don't know.

Just trust me on this partner. Let the mobster teach you how to fight like a mobster.

I shook my head, "Thanks Soos but I got a lot of things to do." Soos shook his head, "I'm sure that we can do something."

"There's people around." I pointed out.

"We can do it in the back." Soos reply.

Get rid of him. He is getting too pushy.

Well maybe I can learn a few things from him, when you aren't around to be put in.

I will always be there for you partner. You don't need him.

Well I think I can learn a few things.

"Alright Soos," I smiled. Soos gave a smile.

Like I said before I could teach you.

Will I remember everything that you do to my body?

Nothing.

I don't think so.

Then me and Soos headed to the back. "Alright youngster, so what do you already know?" Soos asks. I shrug, "A hit." Soos took off his cap, "Alright, hit my cap. I just want to see how you hit, doesn't matter how hard I just want to see your form."

Soos held up his cap in front of him and held it tight. "Don't hit hard just show me your form." I nod. I then threw a hit to the cap. "No you are thinking too much about power Dipper. It isn't all about the power. If you have a good form then it is strong then with the power the whole hit is extra powerful. For a first time though is pretty good but you are thinking why too much about power."

I nod. Then Soos hand me his cap. "Hold it in front of you, and I'll show you." I nod and I did what Soos did and I held it in front of me. Then Soos threw a punch which hit me hard on the chest, knocking the breath out of me. "Oh I'm sorry dude!" Soos said, "Like I said it is all how you hit and I wasn't really trying." I saw that Soos was rubbing his wrist as I was gasping for breath.

He's hurt. No wonder he left. My guess be broken both of his wrists and never gotten them fix properly. It happens when you are poor. That is why you want to be a mobster so you can be rich with dough and all the dolls.

"Are you alright Soos?" I clear my throat when I finally gain my breath back. Soos nods and stops rubbing his wrists, "Yeah I'm fine, just old injuries still got to me. Doesn't matter, did you see how I did it?" I nod, "Yes."

Then Soos grab the cap, "Do it again and this time better." I nod then I threw a hit to the cap, trying to copy how Soos did it. "Better but still the form is still a little shaky."

"Soos!" A voiced called out, it sounded like Ford. Soos put back his cap on his head, "Sorry duty calls. We can continue latter, deal?" "Deal." I reply. Then Soos left. I sigh.

"Told you. He isn't going to teach you anything. There is no time!" Bill said out loud and this time not in my head.

I turn my head and I could see Bill in the mirror, where my reflection is supposed to be.

"I don't care. He is my friend and I wanted to be nice." I reply.

"Rule one about being a mobster, don't be nice. They will think that you are soft. You must stand your ground. If you are soft they will walk all over you and joy rides will come more often. You wouldn't last a week if you are a soft Big Cheese." Bill snaps.

I sigh. Then Mabel came around the corner, "Dipper it is time. Candy and Grenda are here for our song." I nod, "Alright, I'll be right there." I reply. Mabel nod and headed to the stage. I face the mirror and there was Bill. "Are you really going to keep doing this? Being a baby vamp's piano boy."

"I'm not just her piano boy, Bill. I'm also her brother. She respects me for that." I reply.

"Nobody else will care! Tell that to Sweeney they will say, Scram piano boy, and so on! They wouldn't care about you. You will just be treated as dirt. You will never be a big shot as long as you keep doing what you are doing. You need to follow me to be a big shot." Bill reply folding his arms.

I sigh, "Your right Bill."

"I'm always right. I'm the Big Cheese."

"What?"

"Dipper!" Mabel called out, "Are you coming?" I turn around, "Yes sure." Mabel looks around, "Who were you talking to?" I look back at the mirror and I could see myself. "Uh nobody just talking to myself. Don't worry about it." I then came up to her and grab her arm, "let's just go." Then I started to shove her up the stage. Mabel shook me off, "Dipper are you sure you are alright?" I nod, "Of course! What makes you think not?" Mabel just shrugs, "Gut feeling."

I roll my eyes with a smile, "Oh you and your gut feeling. Nothing is up. Now are you ready to shine, my shooting star?" Mabel smiles, "Alright if you say that everything is alright then everything is alright." Then she kisses me on the cheek.

Then we went on the stage. I played the piano for Mabel, Candy, and Grenda. They were singing a song about how boys are like; I really didn't pay much attention about the lyrics. I mostly focus about the notes.

Then the song was over and the people that were there applaud. There were a lot of people for such early in the evening.

The girls sang about a few more songs with me playing the piano and the last few songs where with the band with me at the piano. That dealt with the late afternoon.

I was hanging around the bar when Mabel was on stage with Candy and Grenda, saying their goodbyes. Then I watch as Candy and Grenda left and Mabel on the stage taking a small brake. Then the door open and usually I wouldn't matter but this one caught my eye with the white hair. Gideon. I look at him and he looks at me. I got up and I was going to walk toward him but then I heard a cry from my sister, "No, stay away!"

I turn my head and I could see three men shoving her to a corner.

Your sister is in trouble and you can't fight. Let me in.

I face back at the door and Gideon had disappeared.

Don't worry about him. Let me in and I'll teach those nitwits to not mess with the future big shot's sister.

Deal.

I close my eyes and I relax my mind and in moment I didn't feel a thing.

Mabel POV

I was saying my goodbyes to Candy and Grenda. I then headed down the stage then this man came up to me, "Hey there pretty doll." I could tell that he was rummy on how he dresses. He wasn't dolled up like most men. He was wearing clothes that were dirty and torn. "Dry up." I hiss a bit nervously.

Then two more men came up, they were more dolled up then the rummy but I could tell they were friends. "Now that isn't a nice thing to say to a fella like Mark, Baby." The one with the fedora. "But we can forgive you baby." The one with the cap reply. They started to get close to me, "No, stay away!" I pleaded.

The one with the cap licks his lips, "This is going to be a blast." I backed into a corner. "Please stay away." I pleaded. Then the guy with the cap reaches his hand out to me.

Then with quick speed a hand grab his. "It isn't nice to touch a doll when she only wants one man." It was Dipper. "You aren't that lucky man." Then Dipper threw a punch at the man and he stubble to the wall. Then the man with the fedora wrap his arms around Dipper, pinning his arms to his said, "Why you little sap!" Dipper slams his head to the guy's face. The man backed away then he threw a couple of fists but each time Dipper dough them pro like. Then Dipper threw a hard hit to the gut of the man then threw him to the cap man who was getting up. They both fell to the ground.

Mark grab an empty bottle and raise it above Dipper's head, "Dip..." I tried to warn him but Dipper seem to already know. Dipper turns sharply and grabs the wrist with the bottle then he grip Mark's throat then slams him to the wall. "What a dew-dropper rummy you are?" Dipper hiss. Then he threw Mark to a table, which tumble to the ground. Then the man with the cap and fedora got up to their feet.

"If it is a fight you want then a real fight you'll get!" The man with the fedora hiss. Then the man with the fedora lung and started to throw down some hard swings. Dipper dough each one of them. Then at one swing Dipper grab the arm and flip him over. Then the other man tackled Dipper.

They rolled on the floor, each battling to figure out who will be on top. Dipper mange to be on top and bang the cap man to the floor and threw down hard punches down at him. Mark got up and grabs Dipper and yanks him off of his fella friend. Dipper walked backward and ram Mark into the wall a couple of times and mark finally let go of him. Then Dipper grabs the bottle and slams it on Mark, and Mark sank to the ground. Then the fedora guy came at Dipper but Dipper just grab his collar of his shirt and bang him to the wall then he threw him across the bar table, knocking glasses everywhere.

Then the cap man staggers to his feet, unsure if he wants to try again but he did. Dipper just grabs his wrist when he threw a punch and then flips him to the ground. Then Dipper slams his foot to the guy's shoulder and yank the arm up and twisting the wrist. The man cried out in pain.

"Let this be a lesson to you and your nitwit palls. Don't ever touch this doll again or I'll break your arm off and that will be my first warning then I'll bop you and your palls." Dipper hiss.

"Alright! Alright! We are sorry! Please don't hurt me!" The man pleaded.

I looked at Dipper. I never seen him like this, it was scaring me a bit.

"D-Dipper?" I questioned. Dipper pauses for a moment, but didn't look at me, and then Dipper releases the man, "Let his be your only warning. Scram! All of you." Mark and his two buddies stagger to their feet and they ran off scared. "Let that be a warning to all of you!" Dipper hisses to the whole bar, "If anyone tries to hurt or touch my sister again, I'll give you a joy ride that you will never forget!"

During the fight the bar was quiet but then once Dipper threatens them they got even quieter. Then they slowly got back to what they were doing.

For me I was shaken up how three men tried to hurt be but mainly on how Dipper was. I never seen him like this. He couldn't fight before, how could he fight now? I'm grateful but something seems to be a little off.

Dipper came up to me and hug me, "Alright you alright sis?" He said gently. I nod, "I'm fine." Then I gently push him away, "Dipper what was that? How could you do all of that? And those threats? What's gotten into you?" I ask. Dipper just looks at me, "I just want to protect you doll. I got some lessons from...."

"Soos?"

Dipper snaps his fingers, "Yes Soos." Then Dipper gently grab me by the shoulder, "Now why don't you just relax a bit before your perform again. I'll be up there soon; I just got to do something real quick." I looked at Dipper, "What are you going to do?"

"Mind your own potatoes! I mean....I just got to talk with a friend. Don't worry I'm not going to bop anyone...not yet anyways." Then Dipper left.

Something was wrong but I could just be over dramatic about the whole thing. Maybe there isn't anything wrong and Soos have been teaching Dipper how to fight, but things just don't add up. But I guess I can't do anything, but nothing is wrong...or is it?
