Stan looked up to the sky and gasped. Now he might not be smart, but he knew that there wasn't supposed a giant multi-colored rift in the sky. Quickly he put down the money he was counting and rushed outside of the shack to get a better look. Probably not the smartest idea, considering that when something supernatural was going on it was the smarter option to run away from it. But for some reason, he knew that he had to go outside to see what was going on.

When the cool evening air blew through his hair, he knew he was right to come outside. Dipper and Ford already were outside, looking at the sky.

"What is that?" Dipper yelled.

"We're too late," Ford replied. "It's the end of the world."

A shadow swept across the ground, a triangle with a hat on it. Stan grimaced, recognizing that shape. When he took Fords journal away from Dipper, he studied it, particularly this demon. Bill Sassifrass of something of that nature. That shape was nothing but a high school nightmare until he came to Gravity Falls.

"Oh my gosh Mabel!" Dipper yelled.

"We can't do anything for her now. She should have known better than to try and trust Bill."

"But she might not have meant to do it. She couldn't have. She knows that Bill is evil. Mabel wouldn't do that on purpose." Dipper retorted.

"Wait up there Dipper. What do you mean Mabel's in there?" Stan stepped into the conversation, much to the dismay of Ford.

"Mabel went into the forest and somehow is the reason for why Bill got a hold of the rift, which created that thing to rip through the sky." Dipper explained. Stan looked furiously in Fords direction.

"YOU!" Stan pointed his finger at Ford. "You let Mabel walk around with the rift that had the potential to bring this upon us. She's just a kid Ford!"

"I didn't give it to Mabel!" Ford defended himself. "I had given it to Dipper and she must have taken his bag."

"Oh like that makes things any better! No you didn't trust Mabel to hold it, but Dipper was a far better choice. They shouldn't have been involved in the matter in the first place. We had an agreement Ford! You'd keep the kids away from stuff like this. And look what you have done! Mabel is now in the middle of the forest, probably scared out of her mind or worse, trying to stop this thing without thinking things through first."

"Stanley, I know what you think of me, but I promise that I didn't intend any of this to happen."

"Like hell you didn't! You saw this coming! And now Mabel is in the woods RIGHT were Bill Chartreuse is."

"Bill Cipher, and he is the one responsible for all of this, not Mabel." Dipper corrected.

"Of course it isn't Mabel's fault. Whoever thinks is stupid. But it's your fault Ford. These two may be smarter and more mature than some of the other kids their age, but they are still KIDS! You can't keep acting like they are the same age as you. It's because of you and your stupid journals that has but my grandniece in danger by a TRIANGLE of all things." Stan turns to Dipper and gets down on one knee. His once angry expression had melted away to a concerned look. "Where is she Dipper?" He asked. It surprised Dipper how much this calmed him.

"She went into the forest, probably towards the totem pole." Dipper replied. Stan nodded and stood, walking in that general direction, until Ford grabbed onto his shoulder.

"You can't go out there! Not with Bill around. You don't know what he is capable of. Listen to me Stanley, you have to stay here. It's too dangerous!" Ford said. Before Ford could register what was happening, Stan left hooked him and made him fall onto the ground.

"No, you listen to me! If you think it's too dangerous for ME to go out there, how to you expect Mabel to be out there. I was supposed to take care of her this summer, and so far I've been doing a pretty crappy job of it. But understand that I'll die before anything happens to her. SHE'S MY FAMILY FORD!"

With that, Ford stood up, yet avoided Stan's hateful glare.

"I understand that Stanley, but you also need to remember that you're my family too." For a brief moment a look of shock rippled through Stan's face, but it was gone in an instant.

"Look, I'm finding Mabel. You two seem to know about this triangle more than anyone. I'll try and do what I can in relation to that, but Mabel is my mission." Stan once again kneeled down to Dipper and outstretched his arms. Dipper obliged and hugged him. "Don't worry kid, I'll find her."

When he stood, he walked over to Ford. "You protect him. Don't let him go around alone, and if he is hurt in any sort of way I swear I will find a way to keep these kids as far away from you as possible.

Ford seemed startled for a moment, but then nodded. He realized for once his brother was right while he was wrong, While Dipper and Mabel could be trusted, he need to act as if they were their own ages.

"Grunkle Stan!" Dipper yelled. "Let me come with you! I have to find Mabel." For a moment, Ford felt a pang of betrayal, but then remembered that normal siblings went out of their way to protect each other.

Just as Stan did for him.

"No kid, I need you to stay safe and as far away from Bill as possible. Stay with your great uncle Ford. He'll know what to do."

"Can't I do anything to help?"

"Well, helping your uncle will be great, but what might help me find Mabel is if you talk through the walkie talkie so I can try and find where she is." Dipper nodded and removed the walkie talkie from his bag and started talking into it.

"Mr. Pines! Mr. Pines clone!" A deep voice rumbled. As he turned, he saw four familiar faces. It was Candy, Grenda, and Wendy. They were all carrying some form of weapon. Wendy was with an ax, Grenda was with a couch, and Candy was holding a rake. But next to them was an unexpected sight. Pacifica Northwest was standing arm in arm with Candy and Grenda, and she was holding a golf putter.

"Kids what are you doing here!"

"We came to check on Mabel. Besides, you are like the only parental unit we really know that actually preforms their duties." Wendy replied.

"Why is she here then?" Stan said, referring to Pacifica.

"Look Big Nose, Mabel and I are just started to get on better terms. Besides, all of my friends have traveled to Europe for the summer." Pacifica replied.

"Girls, I'm going to find Mabel. If you see her, bring her to the shack. But right now I need you to help the townspeople. Literally we are the only remotely smart people in this town. Get them inside and underground if you can. Just help people. When I find Mabel I'll have her join you guys." Stan explained. The girls all nodded, seeing that this was a logical plan.

"We'll report back here at nine o'clock at the shack." Wendy replied.

With that, the girls ran for town, Dipper and Ford went into the Shack, and Stan marched into the forest.
