Hey fanfic friends! I was really touched by how many of you have already followed/favorited/reviewed my latest story. I think it could be something really special by the time it's finished. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you guys know what you can expect out of these next few chapters. I want to briefly create my own account of the events of weirdmagedon, however because I am going through this from mainly Mabel's account several parts will be skipped and glossed over, and other parts will be rewritten entirely. I am assuming you have all seen the actual episode, so this is me taking some creative liberty with it. That's what fan fiction is all about after all. Thanks so much you guys, and please enjoy!
"Mabel! Pumpkin, come back!" Stan called as he watched helplessly as the young girl ran into the woods as fast as her legs would carry her. Stan wanted to help her, but he also knew he needed more information on what had happened before he could properly comfort her.
"You guys know what's eatin Mabel? She seems pretty upset," Stan said looking towards Soos and Wendy for answers.
"Not sure, last Soos and I saw her she was heading down to that weird basement/layer place to talk with your brother," Wendy said plainly. She did not have much knowledge of Ford and his goings on in the basement outside of what Soos tried to explain to her, and to be honest that just made things more confusing then they were.
Stan buried his head in his hands. He could only imagine what Ford had said to get his poor niece so upset, but he knew that whatever he said it had to be pretty bad for Mabel to be this broken up. "I'm gonna go down there to give him a piece of my mind," Stan said as he marched towards the lab like a man on a mission.
Meanwhile, Mabel was running so fast with tears clouding her vision that she had absolutely no idea where she was going. She didn't even know why she was running, she was just determined to get away. Away from her brother, away from Ford, and most of all away from the future. She finally settled under a large pine tree after all the energy had been drained right out of her. She sat down and immediately pulled her sweater up over her head to enter "sweater town" where things could be simple if only for a moment. She sat there for a long moment until she heard a familiar voice coming towards her.
"Well if it isn't my dear friend Mabel Pines," said the kindly voice of Blendin Blandin. Mabel looked up from her sweater with tears still streaming down her face. It took her a moment to recognize him through the tears.
"Oh Blendin! It's been awhile, how've you been?" Mabel asked innocently, voice still shaking wildly.
Blendin smiled as he knelt down next to her, "forget about me dear, what's troubling you? Where is that sweet smile I know?" he said sympathetically.
"Time trouble ironically, I don't know if I want to turn back time, or keep time still. I just know I don't want time to keep going like this," Mabel said wiping her tears on the sleeves of her sweater.
Blendin smiled at her, "well dear, you are in luck. Time happens to be the one thing I can control, and after all you and your brother have done for me I feel it would only be fair to help you out,".
"Really? Do you mean it?" Mabel said, her eyes suddenly brightening up significantly. "That would be amazing!" She said hugging Blendin.
Blendin gave her a tender pat on the back, "of course, dear. Of course, I do have one favor. Would you mind opening that backpack? There is something in there I want, and I think a little tradsie would only be fair. After all, time is a valuable thing, and I am putting a lot at risk here," he said with a grin.
"Of course! You can take whatever you like!" Mabel said. She wasn't thinking logically, only with her heart, and her poor heart was already broken, so this seemed to be the only way to mend things up again. She began taking out objects one by one until she found the rift.
"That! I want that!" Blendin said, trying not to sound too eager. Mabel looked at him for a moment, and then at the rift.
"Sure, I don't even know what this is, but take it. It looks like a lava lamp to me," she said tossing it over to him.
Suddenly Blendin let out a horrifying and familiar laugh, as wind began to howl in the trees. It was in that instant Mabel realized she had made a grave mistake. She lunged for the rift back only to be stopped mid-air in time for Blendin to reveal his true identity, "NOOOOOOO" she screamed, but before she another thought or make another move her world went dark.
"YOU TOLD HER WHAT?" Stan shouted at Ford in the basement. Stan had never been more angry at his brother than he was now. "I didn't even want you involved with either of the kids! That was our deal Ford, and now not only are you tryin to separate em' but you have the nerve to call a child stupid? Ford these are kids we are talkin about! Do you have any idea how sensitive Mabel is about this stuff? And now you've gone and upset her!" Stan said fuming.
Ford looked ashamed and concerned, "Stanley, look I know what I said was wrong, but in a way I'm right. Neither of you know how to think logically and that has put us all in very real danger," Ford said. It was true that he was ashamed of what he said to Mabel, but he was also trying to look out for everyone's safety.
"You know genius, your real bright when it comes to books and stuff, but when it comes to caring about people as people as opposed to means to an end your a real idiot," Stan said. He had to admit when he found out what Ford had said it felt more like he had spoken those words to him. He knew he wasn't as book smart as Ford, just like Mabel wasn't as book smart as Dipper, but Stan had been around long enough to know that it takes all kinds of smarts to make the world go around.
Ford was just about to respond when a horrific noise from outside interrupted his thoughts. His mind raced, something within him told him this was it. Bill was here. His eyes got small and his facial expression changed from one of genuine emotions to one of cold seriousness. It was a look Stan knew all too well. "What's that sound Ford..."
"I must find Dipper right away," Ford called as he began to run off. Stan called after him, "What about Mabel? She's out there!" Stan cried. "I haven't the time Stanley, you go find her and bring her back to safety now!" Ford called as the elevator shut on him.
A hundred thoughts crossed Stan's mind as he rushed out of the lab towards the ever darkening outside world. What was going on? How did Bill get through? Was Mabel in danger? Was Ford putting Dipper in danger by involving him? Stan didn't know where to begin with his fears, but he did know he had to act fast for the sake of Dipper and Mabel's safety.
When the elevator finally made it up to the ground floor Stan looked around frantically for Soos and Wendy only to find them already gone. He was concerned for their safety, but right now he had to find Mabel. She was out there alone and probably frightened beyond measure. The thought made Stan sick to his stomach, but he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind as he rushed out the door and began calling frantically into the suddenly dark and terrifying world for Mabel.
