A/N: Okay, I couldn't wait for Wednesday, I had to post it today. I hope you enjoy but first you may want to grab some popcorn because this is a long one! :)

"Dipper, I-I can't move my legs," a soft voice says with tears in her eyes. I look to her feet and can see her two appendages merging together. She begins to wheeze, "Dip-per, help me."

I toss and turn in my bed, mumbling something unintelligent as my dream engulfs me.

She stares into my eyes, her big brown eyes, helpless and in pain. I try to move closer to her, but my legs feel thirty times heavier than they have ever felt before. I reach for her hand and now with tears in my eyes I muster out a, "Everything is going to be fine." I grip her hands tightly and rest my forehand on our clenched hands.

"Dipper, look out!" Mabel screams as she points behind me. Before I could turn around something covers my mouth. The look on Mabel's face petrified me more than the monster behind me.

A wicked voice cackles and whispers in my ear, "Pet.", as it drags me away from Mabel.

I wake up to an unhuman sound and a cold sweat covering my forehead. "M-Mabel?" I try to turn my body, but I am numb from my hips down only allowing me to turn my head.

She's gone. Fear engulfs my mind, where is Mabel?

All of a sudden, a loud thud echoes the room. As I cover my ears from the defining sound, something catches my attention. A soft, velvety material covers my ears, "What the-fur?" I move my hands along my ears, my never-ending ears. Shakily, I pull what I think is my ear into view. A goat ear? Shock covers my face, I can feel a cold chill go down my spine as my ears fall back. Maybe I am just hallucinating…I rub my eyes and flip my covers to the other side of my bed. I start to scratch my back but stop just as I began, the same material that is on my ears are covering half my back. In fear, I turn my focus on my legs, wishing I never did.

I cover my mouth as I make an unhuman sound. "Ahh!" I scream as I fall to the floor. Ow. I turn to view my legs once more with one eye tightly closed. What I see disturbs me and shakes me, I have four legs and hooves?! I inspect my lower body; white spots cover my back until my eyes come to a small tuff of hair sticking straight up. "I am part deer?!" I whisper in horror.

"Hello? Can anybody hear me?" My ears instantly perk up and twitch to the sound of a familiar voice; Mabel. Freaked out about how my ears automatically stick up, and how sensitive they are I nervously push them back down.

"Mabel?" I quietly shout. I look back down to my legs, disgusted at the site, Why a deer? Why a fawn deer?

"Dipper?! Is that you?!" Mabel happily shouts back in reply. I can hear a faint splashing outside the room, "Dipper, I am in the bathroom, I need to show you something AMAZING!"

If I can get up, I think to myself. "Okay, coming!" I reply, here we go. I lift my upper body off the floor and try to move my legs along with it. I bend my, uh, front legs as my, em, back legs shakily stand. I've got this, I mutter to myself. I outstretch my arms to gain balance as my legs cave in under the weight of my torso. SMACK! "Ouch!" I say rubbing my chin and jaw. I try again, this time leaning against my bed. Success! I make it to my feet, or I guess hooves. I grin wildly and step forward. Not bad. I step forward again, and again. I-I got it! I laugh at my accomplishment. A little too excited, I take another step, but my front hoof slips sending me back on the ground.

And just when I thought I was getting the hand of it…

After what felt like a lifetime, I am finally able to walk without falling on my face (most of the time). I am honestly pretty darn proud of myself. "Dipper?!" Mabel shouts through the walls again. "Any day now!" I would have been there already if I didn't have these! I hand motion to my lower half and roll my eyes. Carefully, I walking out the door, stepping lightly to avoid the defining sound of my hooves clicking on the wooden floors.

I stand outside the bathroom door biting my lip and pulling the bill of my hat down. I don't exactly feel comfortable with the way I look, and knowing Mabel she will make a big deal about it. I take a deep breath and turn the door knob. CLICK. I push the door open to see an empty bathroom. "Umm…Mabel?" I slowly walk in watching my step to make sure I don't slip on the slick tile.

"DIPPER, YOU'RE HERE!" Mabel's voice echoed through the room sending a wave of fear up my body. I slip in a water puddle landing on my belly with all four legs stretched out beside me. I make a random deer noise and cover my mouth immediately. Oh, please tell me she didn't hear that!

I see her head leaning on the edge of the tub with her mouth wide open, (I am assuming) gawking at my state. I can feel my face turn bright red, and the lowering of my ears. "OH, MY GAWD DIPPER…YOU'RE ADORABLE!" Mabel squeals and splashes her tail in the water... WAIT TAIL?

"Ma-Mabel, your half FISH?!" I exclaim at the sight of her pink, shimmering tail.

"I know, isn't it lovely?!" Mabel grabs her tail and caresses it against her scaly check, "Oh Dipster, guess what the best part is…I CAN GO VISIT MERMANDO!" She gives a small laugh. Ehh, Mermando. I was and still am not a big fan of Mermando. A short silence falls in the room as Mabel sits or lays in the tub mumbling something under her breath. "Oh, my gosh, and Dipper, you're some kind of centaur?"

I look down at my deer body and blush, "I guess so? Is that even a thing, a Deertaur?" I ask as I scratch behind my left ear.

Mabel shrugs, "Well it is now! But your so cute!" I blush, I am not cute. Mabel gives a high pitch squeal sending my ears pointing to the sky. Quit it ears! "And your ears! Can I pet them?!"

"No." Embarrassed, I try to shove my ears under my hat, but the pain halts my plans.

"Pa-lease?" She gives me her pleading puppy eyes, but those will not change my answer. "Aww, come on Deerper, please?"

"What did you just call me?" Mabel giggles and twirls her wet hair. "Don't call me that ever again." I cross my arms and look away.

I lay on the wet bathroom floor next to the tub reading the Journal 3 trying to figure out a way out of this mess. I know that Mabel is enjoying her new form, but I certainly am not having the best of time. I mean, it's not the reality of having an extra set of legs, and cleaved hooves that is upsetting me, it's the fact that I am a fawn. Why a fawn? Sure, I am not the 'manliest' person around, but I sure am not a baby.

I have reread the page on Fluvius Cantatis about five times, and there is nothing about a cure. I even grabbed my black light, and there still is nothing about a stupid (okay not stupid) cure. I sigh in defeat. What if…No, don't think about it. What if, we are stuck like this forever? Just the thought of being part deer the rest of my life terrifies me. I mean, I could be mistake for a normal deer by a wolf or something. What if I get eaten alive? I shake as I image myself being torn to pieces by a predator.

I close my book and sigh, "This is hopeless, I can't find anything about a way to reverse all this." I droop my ears and give another big sigh. "Mabel, what if we are…stuck like this forever?" I fumble with my thumbs awaiting an answer.

"Why are you so worried about this, this is amazing." Mabel replies as she pets my ear with her wet hand. I flick her hand away, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself. But, I am sure that there is a cure for all this. There has to be."

I lay my chest on the floor and rest my head on my folded hands. "Do you know if anyone else has changed? I mean, the whole town must have been affected by it, but do you think this happened to everyone?"

I can hear Mabel laughing at my question under water, "All I know is that Grunkle Stan has changed into stone or something like that." She flips her tail sending water my direction, "Oops, sorry about that bro bro, still getting used to the whole water thing, haha!"

"So, you're telling me that Grunkle Stan turned into stone?" I question Mabel as I wipe the dirty water off my face.

"Yup," Mabel gives a little giggle, "it sure does resemble his personality though!" I give a small laugh and reopen my Journal. "Ugg, now what are you looking up in your 'Nerd Book'?"

I flip through the pages, examining the pictures, "I am trying to find anything stone related,"

"Oh, so you mean like Gargoyles?" Mabel reaches over the tub and flips through the Journal stopping at a page about none the less; Gargoyles. "Do you think Grunkle Stan could be something like that?"

I dry off the page with my shirt trying not to smear any ink. I shrug, "I guess we will have to find out for ourselves." I give the page one last look, focusing on the yellow eyed monster sketched onto the corner. I can feel fear flood my mind, why does a simple sketch scare me? If I can't look at a drawing of a Gargoyle, how could I ever approach Grunkle Stan? I rub my shoulders and gulp.

A loud crash breaks the silence, I shoot up off the floor as my ears perk up. "What was that Dipper?" Mabel asks me as she slides down into the water.

"I-I don't know, it sounded like it came from the kitchen." I gulp as I slowly get up, placing my hand on the sink counter. "I will go investigate." I quietly open the bathroom door and peak out into the hall.

"Um, Dip, how are you going to get down the stairs?" Mabel gurgles under the water. I completely forgot about the stairs, stairs and four legs probably will not be the best of friends, if you know what I mean.

"I guess I am about to figure that out." I reply staring at my obstacle.

I creep out into the hall trying to avoid the loud stomping of my hooves. I start to hear a ruff voice echoing downstairs, Grunkle Stan. As I approach the stairs my legs begin to wobble, and I can feel sweat dripping down my forehead. I've got this, I-I got this.

I place my hands along the wall to hopefully keep myself from falling. I take my first step down the stairs without any problems. I start to move my front right leg down towards the second step but my hoof slips off the step sending my rolling down the stairs. THUD.

"Who's there?!" A booming voice calls from across the house. I quickly fumble around trying to get back up the stairs, "I said who's there?!" the voice calls again sending fear into my face. I hear footsteps coming closer to me. I slip around the floor trying to find the stairs as I see a large shadow cover the floors. I make loud bleat deer noise as I place my hands firmly on the walls. "Dipper?" A sharp toothed mouth asks.

My heart starts to beat faster, I turn my head side to side trying to find somewhere to run. The front door catches my attention, I quickly get up and run towards the door barely escaping the monster's claws.

"Dipper, it's me Grunkle Stan!" I hear the voice call as I run through the door. I can't register how that was Grunkle Stan, all I can see is a monster; a predator.

The wind flows through my tangled hair, I've never ran this fast before. I start to slow down to a stop as I come to a clearing. I breath heavily and fall to the ground trying to catch my breath. I can't believe I ran that fast! It felt amazing to be able to run that fast. But what I am shocked about most is how much fear came over me.

I've been laying on the grass for what feels like an hour, I want to go back to the Shack but something keeps me in the woods. It's so calming and peaceful out here, it feels like home. I close my eyes and breath in the sweet air.

My eyes twitch at the sound of rustling brush in front of me. I hear a familiar voice coming towards me, "Uhh, ugg, stupid branch!" A tall, slender man with blonde hair walks out of the brush. He catches sight of me and gives a large sinister grin, "Hey, hey, looky here; a lonely Pine Tree-or at least I think it's a Pine Tree! Haha!" The man cackles and starts to walk closer to me.

"B-Bill?" I mutter as he crutches down to my level.

A wild snicker appears on his face as he grabs my cheeks, "The one and only!"

A/N: I hope this chapter wasn't too long, I just couldn't stop the flow of ideas. This chapter in particular took me so long to write because I had to get it right! I think I rewrote the chapter about 2 times trying to figure out how exactly I wanted to express my ideas. Before you go I just want to let you know that I am planning on uploading every Wednesday from now on :D

That's it for now, have a great day/night!
