It was perfect! Bill Cipher planned for four years about taking Gravity Falls, and gaining back the glory he lost. He never even once though to take advantage of Mabel instead of those who seemed easier to manipulate. However he saw it now that Mabel even though innocent, and sweet was desperate, and vulnerable. Even after all this time she continued to pursue ridiculous love interests that Bill thought rather disgusting. It was only until recently he began to work out a plan, and he knew that Mabel would do anything for a 'cute' guy.

There was just one problem though, and as much as he hated to admit it, Bill Cipher didn't have a physical form. He crossed the thought of possessing someone, but Mabel although obnoxious was not stupid. She somehow knew everyone, and remembered everything about them. What Bill needed was a blank slate. Who did he know that could make him an empty shell that looked real enough to fool everyone?

Fiddleford. Bill remembered seeing the massive realistic swamp monster Mcgucket built long ago.

Bill cackled as he quickly shifted his focus to the crazed old man. It was all too perfect that this poor man named Fiddleford Mcgucket forgot everything, even Bill Cipher himself. All he needed was a way to get to him, and something he could offer up for the exchange. Bill observed the old man closer as he mumbled about across the town like an idiot. Perhaps Fiddleford's desire to be loved by his family was one he held in high esteem.

The scheme boiled in Bill's mind as he cackled with glee. Poor, poor old Fiddleford would probably do anything to get his memory back. Even though he knew what would happen if he gained it back, Bill could sense that he yearned to know more. Bill waited patiently for the old man to fall asleep, and then launched himself to invade Fiddleford's mind.

Bill stalked into Mcgucket's dream, and greeted him charmingly. "Hello there, Fiddleford Mcgucket!"

Fiddleford screamed, "Who are you? What you want with me?"

"Easy now I'm here because I've been watching you. It seems to me that you could use a little help!" Bill explained with a booming voice.

Old man Mcgucket questioned Bill, "What are you playing at ye' triangle?"

"Well it seems to me you're missing your memories! Don't you want them back Fiddleford? Don't you want to see everything you used to know?" Bill Cipher elaborated to the thoughtless Mcgucket.

Fiddleford mumbled in unease, "I dunno there I would like to know what happened, but I saw something horrifying to the point I made a gadget to make my brain go all wonky!"

Cipher spun his yellow cane, and persisted to persuade him. "Alright how about I sweeten the deal for you! You'll get all your memories back, all of them except the day you went insane. All I need in return is an organic vessel. It doesn't even have to be alive!"

"I don't know about this. All of my memories except that one?" Old man Mcgucket asked meekly.

Bill wrapped his arm around Mcgucket, and answered. "All of them pal! Just for one tiny favor!"

"Alright, I'll do it!" Fiddleford yelled.

Bill Cipher reached out his hand in blue flames with a charming call, "It's a deal!"

"I can't believe we're spending the whole year here Ford!" Dipper yelped in excitement, "We can do all sorts of mystery solving, and homework will be breeze with you around!"

Stanford smiled down at Dipper who was still a bit shorter than him. Mabel observed them on the opposite side of the living room as she watched T.V. with Waddles, and Stanley. For the longest while now Mabel noticed how Dipper was starting to drift away from her. He was growing up far faster than her, and all she wanted was for the good times to last forever. She knew though that now they were both sixteen, and they were beginning to find their own paths in life. Regardless though they still loved each other as twin siblings always would, and Mabel was grateful for that.

"What nerds huh Mabel?" Stan scoffed as he turned up the television.

Mabel giggled, "They're just excited to be spending the whole year together in Gravity Falls!"

Stanley rolled his eye, and probed Mabel. "I bet you're excited too? Spending time with your favorite Grunkle!"

"Yeah!" She laughed punching Stan in the arm.

Stanley rubbed his arm in recoil of Mabel's punch. Mabel guessed that maybe she was just getting stronger, and she pretended to flex her nonexistent muscles. After a little dance she plopped onto the carpet lying on her stomach. Even though she was excited to finally get the failures of romance past to work, she was also extremely nervous. She knew her friends would be there, but it wasn't enough for her to completely shake her anxiety.

Mabel gazed up at Grunkle Stan, and asked a question. "Do you think the other teens will like me?"

"Uh- whoa getting self conscious there?" Stanley coughed not wanted to address the question."I'm sure they'll like you kid."

"Yeah you're right. I'm irresistible!" She claimed flopping the sleeves of her sweater around.

Just as Mabel stopped flailing about her pig Waddles approached her with a small oink. Squeezing her own cheeks she squealed, and picked up Waddles for cuddles. It was times like this that she was truly happy to be alive.
