A/n: Hey guys sorry I took a couple of days to update. I've been busy and happy Fourth of July for those who live in America! Anyways I own nothing.
Dipper was flipping through the journal rapidly. He had to find a way to bring Mabel back. He needed her. Since they were twins and had very polar opposite personalities they were like two halves of the same whole and when put together nothing could stop them.
He stopped slipping when he got to the page about the mysterious rock that grants any wish and had conflict fairies guarding it.
"That's it! I can use the rock to undo my last wish!"
Dipper felt his pockets for the rock only to realize it wasn't there.
Dipper's eyes widened.
"Alright Dipper just calm down. Maybe shining a black light down on it will reveal something," Dipper stated hoping he was right.
He was. When he shined the black light on it some more text appeared.
"Yes! Okay let's see…."
"The Golden Rock is a mysterious object that grants wishes. Once a wish is granted the rock disappears to a random location in Gravity Falls."
Dipper stopped reading right there. He could feel tears prick his eyes.
'That rock could be anywhere. How am I going to find it? Will I ever see Mabel again? '
Dipper quickly shook his head dismissing those thoughts.
'No! I have to find it. It's the only way to get Mabel back.'
Dipper looked at the clock. It read 3pm.
"I've 4 hours until I need to get back here. I better start searching now!"
Dipper ran out of the Mystery shack and into the summer air. Time to find that rock.

"Finally I made it to the pharmacy," A young girl panted out.
She was out of breath because she had been running from home to here and it wasn't exactly close by.
She walked inside got the band-aids she needed and brought them up to the counter. The cashier gave her a weird look. The child was in there not even a week ago buys gauss. None the less the cashier rang the product up the girl paid for it and walked out.
Once she was out of the building she ran behind it. She made sure no one was looking before taking off her sweater revealing her under shirt and a lot of cuts and bruises. She quickly put band aids on all of them to try and prevent an infection. After she was done her stomach started to growl. She didn't have much money left over. Only 50 cents.
'There has to be a vending machine in this town or something,'
She thought looking around.

*4 hours later*
Dipper walked into the Shack with a look of utter failure on his face. He had been searching for hours but had no leads on the rock.
He had asked everyone he ran into, asked people to be on the lookout for a gold colored rock and even paid some guy who told he'd tell him where the rock was only for him to run off with the 5 bucks Dipper gave him and still nothing.
Dipper slid the ground.
"I can't find that rock. Without it I can't reverse my wish and I'll never see Mabel ever again….I just hope she's alright."
Just them someone entered the Mystery shack.
"Excuse me are you okay?"
Dippers head shot up. He knew that voice anywhere. He looked and his suspicions on whom the voice belonged to where correct.
"Mabel!"
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Mabel was starting to get weak from hunger. She had been searching all day but couldn't find one vending machine that accepted only 50 cents.
"Maybe next time I should bring more money…"
While walking she noticed a place she had never been in before.
"Mystery shack? Sounds like fun," She said walking in forgetting about her hunger.
Once she walked in however Mabel noticed a boy sitting on the floor.
'That's weird why does he look so familiar?'
She noticed his head was in his knees.
"Excuse me are you okay?" She asked.
The boys head shot up.
"Mabel!" He exclaimed trapping her in a hug.
Mabel would have pushed him away if it had been anyone else but something about this kid made her feel safe. Something she feels like she hadn't felt in a long time.
Dipper held her tight like she was a lifeline. He was so happy to see her. To see that she was at least still in the same town as him. With her by his side maybe he could get everything to go back to the way things used to be.
Dipper pulled away after a couple of minutes.
"Mabel I was so worried about you. Are you okay? Are you hurt? How is-"
Mabel cut him off.
"How do you know my name?"
Dipper looked at her in shock then confusion.
"What do you mean? We've known each other since we were born,"
"I think you have me mistaken for someone else," Mabel replied.
'Maybe we do know each other and I just don't remember. He does look familiar,'
Dipper was astonished.
'How can she not remember me? She was right there when I made that stupid wish. Wait a minute the wish! Maybe only the one who made the wish remembers the way things were before. I have to check this out in the journal," Dipper thought.
He snapped out of it however when he heard the Mabel grunt in frustration. He turned and saw that she was now at the vending machine.
"What's wrong?" Dipper asked.
"I inserted 2 quarters but it won't give me my food," Mabel replied with a whine.
Dipper looked at the machine and saw that the machine was asking for 50 cents. That was a lie.
'Didn't Gruncle Stan change the cost of snacks from 50 cents to a dollar?' Dipper thought to himself.
"I think I know what the problem is," Dipper said walking up to the machine and inserting 2 more quarters and punching in 'B3' which was the number for Gummy Koalas which were Mabel's favorite.
He handed her the package. Mabel gave him a skeptical look.
"Trust me you'll like them," Dipper replied.
Mabel opened the package and took one out. Look at it carefully as if making sure it wasn't poisoned. She put the gummy in her mouth and once she tasted it she ate another and another until the whole package was gone and a smile appeared on her face.
"See I told you, you would like it."
"Thank you…"Mabel stopped herself waiting for a name.
"Dipper."
"Thank you Dipper,"
"No problem."
Dipper then remembered the rock. Wouldn't hurt to ask right?
"Hey did you-"
"Uh-oh!" Mabel exclaimed.
Dippers face turned into concern.
"What's wrong?"
"It's 7:30! I have to go!" She said turning to run out.
"Wait I need to ask you something!" Dipper yelled after her.
"I'll come back tomorrow!" Mabel yelled back not sure herself if she was lying or not.
After 10 minutes of running she got home. She opened the front door a crack and barely dodged a barely dodged a beer bottle that was thrown her way. She looked inside and saw her parents fighting again.
'Good they won't notice me,' Mabel thought as she slipped upstairs and into her room leaving her alone with her thoughts.
"That boy named Dipper. He was so nice and so caring. I felt safe around him for some reason," Mabel said to herself.
"Maybe I'm just imagining things but I felt like I did know him from somewhere. I just can't put my find on it."
Mabel yawned suddenly feeling very tired.
'I'll figure this out tomorrow,' she thought climbing into bed.
She closed her eyes and almost instantly fell asleep. That night she had a dream about getting a boyfriend that turned out to be a bunch of gnomes who wanted her to be there queen and Dipper had rescued her.
