Bright lights emitted from the Mystery Shack in the middle of the night. Mabel pushed the lever forward being careful not to look directly at the source of the bright flashing light.

" Come on, come on. Almost there. Please just be enough to finish the job. What do you think Grunkle Stan? " Mabel asked looking at her Grunkle who was behind her watching the red lights above the tubes that held the toxic waste.

The red lights began to flash and beep. Stan was reading an old book that was laying on the desk. He said, " Warnings : blah blah blah - extreme usage can cause gravitational anomalies. Can it pointdexter! Mabel and I have gotten this far there is no stopping us now! Right sweetie? "

Mabel nodded and opened a panel to a red button in the desk. She slammed her hand onto it without hesitation.

" Yes this it. " Mabel breathed out not exactly noticing her hair suddenly floating up in the air. Or Stan's hat starting to rise up from his head.

A countdown began on the screen above the desk Mabel was at. Mabel and Stan both put digital watches onto their wrists and the countdown appeared on the watch's screen.

" Just eighteen more hours. " Stan said sitting back into his chair.

Mabel smiled and looked sadly at the brown hat with a star on it's front sitting on the desk. " Finally everything changes today. " A breeze blew and the old book on the desk closed revealing a golden Big Dipper on the front with a number one on it.

It has been months into summer and Wendy was no closer to finding out the identity of the Author. Of all her encounters with Bill, the very thought of the dream demon made her shudder, or anything supernatural none of them brought her closer to finding out who the Author was.

Wendy was at the Mystery Shack with her best friend Soos. It was Saturday and Mabel invited them to come over and to have fun. Wendy still saw a few zombie parts here and there from that night that Wendy had accidentally raised the dead. Stan had oddly quickly agreed to Mabel's idea and even had dragged out some fireworks that were sitting in a closet.

Stan light up a firework for Mabel saying, " Here we go sweetheart, blow something up for your Grunkle Stan! "

Mabel let the firework fly shouting, " I am the goddess of fire! " Wendy pumped her fist in the air rooting Mabel to go on. Soos didn't say anything he was too busy eating popsicles to make a sound.

" Hey you got a permit for that? " Sheriff Blubbs called down from below. The sheriff looked up at them suspiciously with a brow raised.

" Hey do you have a permit for being totally lame? " Stan called down at them.

" Well I can't argue with that. Carry on. " Sheriff Blubbs chuckled and walked away.

Mabel looked around seeing all the fires that they had started with the fireworks. " Huh. Guess we will have to put these out. " She suddenly got a wide grin on her face, " With water balloons! "

Wendy laughed as she was hit with a blue water balloon. She threw one at Soos who pathetically tried to throw one back.

" Ha Ha! Got ya! " Wendy announced before getting hit by a dozen of water balloons by Mabel.

" Ah man dude! I wasn't ready yet. " Soos whined wiping water out of his eyes.

" Hey Mabel thanks for letting us do this. You're a great friend, heck one of the best I've had since Soos. " Wendy smiled brightly at Mabel. The older of the two smiled and her brown hair waved in the air.

Mabel suddenly stopped and sighed sadly, looking older than before. She raised a hand to awkwardly scratch the back of her head. Wendy frowned in concern lowering her arm that was raised to throw a water balloon.

" Something wrong? Mabel? " Wendy walked towards her older friend.

" Look kids there's something I've got to uh, you know tell you. " Mabel began to say but she paused nervously. Stan stood up and put a hand on her shoulder. " See, uh, I.. I.. I'm going to get more to drink. " Mabel hurried off before anyone could say anything.

" Enjoy it while you can Mabel. Everything changes today. " Mabel looked at her forehead and noticed a red dot. She swatted at it but nothing happened to it. Several red dots appeared on her torso.

" What the-?! Oh no! " Mabel was suddenly tackled by a man in a black combat suit. Several more government agents come out of their hiding places and began to secure everything.

" Hey! Hey! " Stan's yell sounded behind Mabel as he too was tackled. Wendy and Soos were soon surrounded by several government agents.

" I don't understand. What did I do that warrants this much arresting? What's with arresting my great niece? She hasn't done anything wrong. " Stan asked as an agent handcuffed him. Mabel soon joined him by being roughly shoved next to her Grunkle. She heard Waddles Jr. squeal from the Shack.

" Hey be careful with my pig! " Mabel shouted at the agent who was handling Waddles Jr.

" What's going here? " Wendy demanded as an agent took Soos's popsicle. " Not cool dude! " Soos yelled at the agent.

Two familiar figures walked into Wendy's view. It was Agent Powers and Agent Trigger.

" The government dudes? I thought you dudes got eaten by zombies. " Soos said in confusion looking at the two agents.

" I used Trigger here as a human shield. He cried like a baby. " Agent Powers answered effectively embarrassing Agent Trigger.

" Toxic waste was stolen last night at midnight. " Agent Powers took out a tablet and showed Mabel and Stan the footage of two figures wheeling away barrels of toxic waste.

" Wait you think that's us? Are you crazy? Those zombies must've eaten your brain! " Mabel glared at Agent Powers finding the urge to punch something.

" Don't play dumb Pines. Take them away. " Agent Powers ordered ignoring Wendy and Soos's protests.

(Hours later.)

Wendy was about to slam her hand down on the shut down button when she heard, " Don't press that button! " Mabel was out of breathe as she ran into the room just as Wendy's hand hovered above the red button.

" Alright Wendy just step away. You can trust me, " Mabel began to walk cautiously towards the preteen.

" Why should I? I don't even know who you are! I saw all those fake Id's Mabel! Or is that even you name? " Wendy shouted back angrily her hand threatening to push the button.

" I know that you feel betrayed and hurt but you gotta trust me. " Mabel's watch beeped, " Uh no, brace yourselves! " Mabel warned as a gravitational anomaly began. Everyone screamed in panic and surprise.

Soos called Wendy and Wendy glanced over to see that Soos's foot had caught onto a wire. He was the closest to the shutdown button.

" Quick Soos shut it down! " Wendy called while trying to regain her balance. Mabel heard Wendy's words and started to heads towards Soos.

" Wait Soos, wait! I- " Mabel started her arms moving as if she was swimming not floating around because of a gravitational anomaly.

Wendy quickly tackled Mable, sending the older women off her course. Mabel began to protest, " Wendy please! Guys will you listen to me? Soos trust me I'm doing this for the good of the whole family! Soos, Do you really think I would destroy the world? "

Soos grabbed the wire his foot got caught on and dragged himself towards the shutdown button. He raised his hand to slam it down on the button until Mabel said, " Please Soos. Do you really think I'm a bad guy? "

" Don't listen to her Soos. She's lying listen to your head, shut it down now! " Wendy struggled against Mabel. Mabel and Wendy were suddenly slammed into the wall by a sudden force from the huge triangular device.

" Look into my eyes Soos. " Soos looked up and stared at Mabel's eyes and saw no evilness or bad intent in them. Just pure determination, sadness and love.

" I-I trust Mabel. " Soos removed his hands and started to float up.

" Soos are you insane we are all gonna-! " Wendy was cut off by a sudden brilliant white light blinding her. Everyone screamed as the light got stronger.

Suddenly everyone fell to the ground. The universe wasn't destroyed. No one was dead.

Wendy rubbed her head in a grimace and looked up to see a figure starting to walk out of the hole in the triangular decide. As the figure got closer she saw that the figure was wearing a coat that went slightly above his knees and had black pants and a black shirt on. Strips of cloth were wrapped around the figure's elbow and he had on black boots. The figure wore a hood, goggles and a scarf that covered the lower part of his face.

The figure stopped and spotted the Journal on the ground. The Journal had a number two on it and the figure slipped the book into a pocket inside of the coat.

" Who is that dude? " Soos asked staring at the strange man that stood in front of them.

" The Author of the Journals. My brother. " The figure took off his hood, goggles and scarf revealing a face that looked similar to Mabel's.

" Is this the part when one of us faints? " Wendy absentmindedly asked too shocked to think of anything else to say.

" Oh I'm so on that dude. " Soos announced before falling backwards in a faint.
