Wow, lots of people liked that last chapter. That's good news for me! Now onto the reviews!
Ivygreenstem: Great minds think alike! I think that it must have been at least a day or two since Weirdmageddon. Ford must have just switched the container to make sure no one suspected anything. At least, that's what he did in my story. Also, you might need to wait a bit for Dipper's reacting. It will be a long while before you actually see it. Thanks for suggesting updating days too!
iGogoTomago67: Yes! I was so happy for Bill to finally have more than two lines. Although he is difficult to write, he's also a lot of fun! You'll have to wait and see what he wants with Mabel!
NikiFarren: I think I might have a set date. I'm still decided but I'll let everyone know if I do get one. I'm glad you like the story!
bloodstone38: That's… great? I'm sorry! I don't really know how to respond to that.
Someone: I'm glad you love the story! And MaBill is an amazing ship! MaBill for the win! I'm still deciding on my updating schedule though.
Scale265: Yes, probably every single fangirl/boy would do that.
Daughter of bill cipher: Love your name by the way! I'm glad you like my story and I'm glad you like how I present Bill!
aerizel: I'm glad you like my theory! Also, I just simply thought that if someone played the memory, Bill would also be released. That's just what I think though. As for the Shadows of the Underworld, the leader won't be incredibly amazing but she will have a back story and personality. She does have a reason for doing what she does. It will take a little bit until I get to adding more depth to her character, but it will be there. I would have put it closer to the beginning, but Mabel and Bill are the main focus of my story so I try to focus more on them. Also, I'm glad you want me to keep going!
Guest: You'll have to read to find out what happens next.
Thanks all you amazing people for reviewing!
You aren't here for my rambling; you're here for the story! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the chapter.

"Mabel, are sure you don't want to come?"
Mabel looked up from her knitting. "I'll go next time. I just haven't gotten a lot of sleep the past few days. I'm still really tired." She shrugged and looked back down at the sweater she was knitting.
Dipper and Great Uncle Ford were about to go off and look for a monster that was causing what they called "strange and weird occurrences". Mabel would have usually gone, not missing a chance to add a picture to her scrapbook, but she was still uneasy from recent... events.
"Come on," Great Uncle Ford urged. "Who knows what could happen! We might even run into a herd of unicorns." He sent a wink in her direction. Mabel shuddered, remembering what happened the last time she had an encounter with unicorns.
"I think I'll be okay here." Dipper and Great Uncle Ford shared a glance. Mabel had started acting weird today and they didn't have the slightest clue why. She seemed like she was in her own world and wouldn't talk to anyone unless they spoke to her first. It was extreme unlike her.
Dipper decided that it wasn't worth bothering her about... yet. But for now, he decided to leave her be.
He turned and opened the door. Ford got the message and began to follow Dipper out. Ford called back, "We'll be back by five." Then he grabbed the handle and the door slammed shut.
A couple hours later, Mabel was still knitting sweaters (now onto her third one) and the living room was surrounded with more yarn than ever. To make the matters worse, she still wasn't talking. Soos and Wendy noticed this and decided to put matters into their own hands. Soos tried first.
He walked over to Mabel and put a hand on her back. "Hey Hambone?" Mabel glanced up to look at her friend. Soos cleared his throat. "Melody and I were just about to head to this new ice cream place they opened at the mall. It's supposed to be really good! Do you want to join us?"
Mabel's eyes went back down to her knitting. "No thanks," she mumbled, "not hungry."
Soos frowned and walked back over to Wendy, who was now leaning against the doorway. "She's all yours," Soos mumbled to the red head before he left the shack to meet Melody.
Wendy sighed and walked over to Mabel. Mabel never refused ice cream unless she was really troubled about something. However, Wendy already had an idea in her head about what to do.
Just like Soos, she placed a hand on Mabel's shoulder. "Hey Mabel, I can tell that there's a lot on your mind so why don't we do the one thing that always takes your mind off things." Mabel raised her eyebrow and Wendy continued. "Two words, water balloons."
Mabel sighed contently. There was no way she could say no to that. A smile broke through, the first that day. "Okay, I'll meet you up in the roof. I'll grab the balloons and the hose." She dropped her knitting needles and yarn then ran out of the room. Wendy smiled a bit. At least she seems happier she thought. Her smile quickly turned to a frown. I don't think it will last too long though. Whatever Mabel has on her mind is really troubling her, and it doesn't seem like it will be gone anytime soon. She put a hand to her chin in thought. She was like that for a moment until she gasped. She needed reinforcements, and she knew just who to ask.
"Off the roof, down the maple tree, and… right on to Grunkle Stan's car! Seventy-five points for me!" Mabel jumped into the air and let out a triumphant cheer. Wendy smiled at the girl's enthusiasm. Mabel hadn't been happy all day and seeing her so excited was like a breath of fresh air.
It wasn't too hot out on the roof thanks to the cool breeze that came by every minute or so. There were a couple of clouds floating out and about but besides that, the sky was clear. There were no tourists milling around since the shop was closed, but they still awarded themselves points when they hit Stan. He wasn't too happy about that however.
Let's just say they were glad that they locked the door to the roof.
Wendy's face broke out into a grin and she grabbed a green balloon out of the metal bucket. "Okay, off the umbrella, off of Stan's car, and into the red bucket down there." Mabel squinted to see what Wendy was pointing at. When she finally caught sight of it, she looked and Wendy's direction and smirked. "What?! There's no way you could get it in there. It's too small of a target!"
"Wanna bet?"
Mabel's smirk grew. "You're on!"
"Ten dollars goes to whoever's right?" Mabel nodded and Wendy held out her hand. "Deal?"
Mabel's smile faltered, her thoughts flashing back to the events the previous night in her Dreamscape.
Bill lifted his right hand up and blue fire, looking exactly like the one that was in the field minutes ago, engulfed his hand. Mabel gathered up all the courage she had and lifted her right hand towards his.
The grabbed each other's hands, the fire not hurting Mabel at all.
Bill's eye left their hands and he glanced up at Mabel. "Deal?" She grumbled at how happy he seemed about this.
"Deal."
They shook hands.
The deal was done.
Mabel shuddered at the memory but quickly put a smile back on her face so Wendy wouldn't get suspicious. "Deal." They shook hands.
When they let go, Mabel turned and kept her eyes on the bucket while Wendy glanced at Mabel. She saw that Mabel hesitated when making the bet and Wendy didn't have the slightest idea why. Something was off with Mabel and it wasn't something she liked.
Wendy shook it off and picked up a pink water balloon. She squinted at her target, aimed, and threw the water balloon as hard as she could.
It bounced off the umbrella, flew off of Stan's car and-
At that exact moment, a blue minivan pulled right in front of the Mystery Shack. More importantly, right in front of the bucket. The balloon splattered all over the top of the car.
Mabel did a victory dance while Wendy groaned. "What?! Boo! I didn't know that car was going to be there! I call for a rematch!"
"You didn't say anything about interferences!"
Wendy sighed. She knew Mabel was right. "Fine." She pulled the ten dollars out of her pocket and handed it to the seventeen year old. Mabel stuffed it in her pocket and grinned victoriously.
"It is three o'clock right?"
"Of course it is! Wendy said that Mabel would be out here."
Mabel gasped at the sound of her best friend's voices. "Girls!" Candy and Grenda looked up as they saw their best friend jumping off the roof and sliding down a tree.
When Mabel reached the bottom, they all ran over to each other and it became a hug fest.
"Candy, Grenda, you have no idea how muck I've missed you!"
"We could say the same for you Mabel." Candy grinned. "Gravity Falls seems very boring whenever you are not here."
"Yeah nothing exciting ever happens when you're gone!" Grenda released the two and Candy and Mabel soon followed. Grenda continued. "By the way, Pacifica would have been here, but she called and said that her parents were dragging her to some old rich dude's birthday party."
Mabel shrugged. "Well, the rich parents do what the rich parents want." The three shared a laugh. "By the way, how is Pacifica doing?"
"Very good," Candy answered. "She is actually one of the smartest kids in school. If I wasn't there, she probably would be the smartest!
Mabel grinned. "That's Pacifica for you, always full of surprises!"
Grenda changed the topic. "I heard that the diner is having a special today. Want to go grab a bite?"
Candy smiled. "Sure."
Mabel turned around and called out to Wendy. "Hey, I'm going to the diner, finish this later?"
Wendy gave her two thumbs up.
Mabel smiled and turned back to the two teens. "I'm all in! To the minivan!" Mabel pointed her forefinger forward dramatically and ran Superman style to the car.
Candy and Grenda mimicked her. "To the minivan!"
By the time they were in the car, they were laughing so hard that they couldn't even sit straight.
"Bye girls! See you on Tuesday!" Mabel waved goodbye to her friends. Candy and Grenda were leaning out the open window of the minivan waving goodbye as the car drove away.
Mabel sighed as she opened the door, closing it softly behind her. She and her best friends had just spent the last six hours doing anything they wanted to and it was awesome! They ate at the diner, saw a movie, and went to the mall. It turned out Soos was right! The ice cream place was really good! She felt a little guilty for going without him but she promised herself that the next time she went, she would bring him along and pay for everything. Her treat!
When she walked into the living room, Mabel looked surprised to see that her family was still awake. It was nine o'clock and she thought that they would be asleep by now.
Dipper and Great Uncle Ford looked up from their game of Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons when she walked in. Even though the wizard from the game almost killed them, it was still one of their favorite games.
Dipper smiled in Mabel's direction. "How was your day with Grenda and Candy?"
"It was good. We had so much fun! How was your day of monster hunting?"
Ford answered. "It was extremely riveting! I mean, it's not every day you get stuck inside a mantasaurguin now is it?"
Mabel cocked her head. "A manta-what now?"
"A mantasaurguin. It's a cross between a manatee, a dinosaur, and oddly enough, a penguin."
"Yeah," Dipper continued, "its mouth is so big, it actually ate Great Uncle Ford! I was lucky enough to get him out! You should really come next time Mabel."
"Maybe I will Dippingsauce." She glanced over to Grunkle Stan who was sitting on his chair watching TV.
Stan shrugged. "I didn't really do much once you left."
Ford lifted an eyebrow. "You had to be driven back here in handcuffs and I had to sign a form saying that I bailed you out of jail."
Stan shrugged again, leaning his chair back. "Like I said; nothing new." Mabel agreed with him. It would be a surprise if he didn't get in trouble that day.
She sat down on the floor and leaned against Grunkle Stan's chair. She stifled a yawn and began to watch whatever old movie Stan had on. She was interrupted when Ford crouched in front of her.
"No TV for you young lady. You've been out all day and you said it yourself that you haven't slept well the past few days. You need to get some rest."
Mabel bolted up. "But Great Uncle Ford," she whined, "I'm fine now! Really, I don't need to go to sleep!"
Ford stood up. "Yes you do. Now go up to your room and go to sleep." He put a hand on her back and gently nudged her in the direction of the attic. Mabel sighed. She knew there was no point in arguing. Her shoulders slumped forward and she trudged her way up to the attic.
Mabel was in bed, staring at her ceiling once again. She knew she wouldn't be caught awake for a while since whenever Dipper, her, or Ford discovered a new monster, they would spend hours in the lab writing stuff down about it. She would be helping right now if she had gone with the two of them, but she was stuck in bed and trying her best not to sleep.
Mabel sighed and began to play games with herself
"One, two, three four, I declare a thumb war!"
Mabel started to make her two thumbs wrestle. This lasted about five minutes until she finally realized that she could neither win nor lose.
"I spy with my little eye something... green!"
"Is it Dipper's nerd books?"
"Yes! How did you guess so quickly?"
"Because I'm you!"
"Oh, right."
Mabel threw her face in her pillow. You apparently could not play I Spy without a second person.
"Hey Waddles, are you awake?" Mabel gently nudged the pig. He looked up at her from his bed, and then turned his head and feel back to sleep. Mabel groaned in frustration.
Mabel felt her eyes begin to droop. No, she thought. I don't care if Bill said he would protect me, I still can't trust him. Besides, I do not want to know what he has planned!
Mabel began to rub her eyes over and over until a few minutes later, the sleepiness began to disappear. Ah, that's better.
"Great, you're here! I thought you'd never go to sleep!"
Mabel yelped and removed her hands from her eyes in the process. She looked around and groaned. She was back in the woods, where she was the very first night. Everything was still black, white, and gray and all she could see were trees. The only difference? There was an insane dorito floating right in front of her.
Putting all the clues together she came to one conclusion. She had fallen asleep.
Seconds later, Bill snapped his fingers and once again, a blue light surrounded Mabel and she was being levitated. "Now come on, times ticking here in your Dreamscape. We need to go to the Mindscape if we want to make any progress." Mabel was still processing the information when Bill snapped his fingers again and Mabel felt herself being flung forward. Everything passed them in a blur and before she even had time to scream, they stopped. She clutched her stomach, which was now hurting worse than ever.
When Bill put her down, she gasped for breath. "What... what was tha… that?"
Bill shrugged. "Teleportation. Most of you flesh bags, excuse me, humans feel sick the first time they teleport. Don't worry though, it will get easier after a while."
Mabel was in too much pain to argue, which Bill couldn't complain about. He loved to cause humans pain!
Mabel looked around and saw that they were in place that was entirely black; the ceiling, walls, the floor. She would have doubted if there was ground if she wasn't standing on it. Her attention turned back to Bill when she saw him… conjuring up a door?
The dream demon closed his eye and in seconds, a door was appearing out of nowhere. It was strange though. The door kind of looked like the rip the shadows created except it was yellow and black. The only way she could tell it was a door was due to the glowing handle attached to the thing.
Bill gestured to the door. "Like I said before Shooting Star, times ticking."
Mabel gulped and walked forward. She let go of her stomach, which felt fine now, and slowly opened "door". She peered around the doorway to see what was inside.
It was a hallway. A hallway with lots and lots of doors, all normal unlike the weird one she just saw. And everything, of course, was gray, black, or white.
While Mabel stood there confused, Bill pushed his way in. "Welcome to my Mindscape Shooting Star. You could say that it's also where I live, but whatever works best."
Where he lives? Mabel slowly stepped in and then heard the door slam shut behind her. When she turned around, the door was gone. She twisted her head and saw that Bill was already going down the hallway. He gestured for Mabel to follow him and she did.
After about two or three minutes of silently walking (or floating in Bill's case), the dream demon stopped at a blank wall. He snapped his fingers once again and a door formed on the wall. Mabel cocked her head at the sight of it. It looked like something she had seen before…
"This will be your room," Bill said, snapping Mabel out of her thoughts. "You'll need it if we want to stop the shadows."
Mabel narrowed her eyes at Bill. "Why?"
"If we want to stop them, we are going to need more time than just you sleeping. Although I can't stop time, I can slow it down or speed it up in my Mindscape. Then in any world we travel to, time will still be the same speed as it is here. I would go into more detail, but your small human brain wouldn't be able to comprehend it all." Mabel could barely understand what he was saying right now.
He put his hand on the door knob and threw the wood door open. Mabel gawked at what she saw, now realizing why she recognized the door.
It was her and Dipper's room from the Mystery Shack.
Almost everything was the same; the walls, her posters, her bed. The big difference was that anything that was Dipper's was gone. His nerd books, clothes, even the bed he slept on was gone! The other difference was that it was now black, white, and gray.
She glanced back up at Bill and he could clearly read the confusion on her face. He rolled his eye. "I figured you wouldn't want to sleep in anything I created Shooting Star. That wouldn't be good now would it? If you didn't get any sleep, how could you do well in a battle? And if you happened to die, how would I collect the favor you owe me?" He could tell he hit a nerve with mentioning the favor. She saw her grimace and he was delighted about it.
Bill turned and began to float farther down the hallway. "I'll be in my study. Meet me there once you get dress." He disappeared in a flash and left Mabel dumbfounded. How on earth was she going to find his study if he never told her where it was?!
When Mabel exited her room (if she could call it that), she was wearing her blue sweater with the music note on it. She had on a black skirt once again and also had on pink sneakers with white socks. Then the search for the study began.
Mabel grabbed the door knob of a wood door with a diamond in the middle. She swung it open.
She let out a quick scream as a black hole began to suck her in. Using all her strength, she slammed the door shut. She leaned against it, panting. No more doors with diamonds on them!
The next door didn't have a design on it. Mabel open it a crack. She heard a loud roar and she immediately shut the door with a bang. She did not want to know what was in there!
The next door had three circles on it. She opened it and felt heat. The whole room was encased in blue fire. She shut the door, not even questioning it.
Mabel kept doing this for a while until she came to a door with a triangle design. Okay, Bill is a triangle, so this has to be the study! She slowly opened the door an inch. When she didn't hear or feel anything, she opened it all the way.
Although it wasn't the study, what was in there surprised her.
The room was big, maybe around the size of a gym. The floor was made of wood but it was polished so well it could have been glass. The walls (like almost everything else) were gray and so was the ceiling. Even though there wasn't any source of light, the room seemed bright and dark at the same time. Yet it wasn't the room itself that surprised Mabel, it was what was in the room that did. It was the last thing Mabel ever expected to see.
A piano.
And it was probably the most beautiful piano she has ever seen.
It was big, black, and gleaming. The cover was placed down and not in the air like some pianos, however Mabel could tell the top could be lifted. There was a black velvet seat for the player to sit on and was placed right in front of the instrument. The keys were white and black and they also gleamed. It looked like they had ever been touched, yet if a whole room was dedicated to it, she guessed it was.
Mabel was about to take a closer look when her thoughts snapped back to the mission at hand. Stay focused Mabel! You need to find that study. Mabel took one last look at the piano before softly shutting the door.
She made her way down to the end of the hall. After a lot of failed attempts, this was one of the last doors left. The design on the wood door was an eye, more specifically, Bill's eye. Okay, Mabel thought, twenty seventh time's a charm. She hesitantly opened the door.
When Mabel looked inside, she sighed with relief. It was the study.
She looked around the room. This place, like all the rest, was void of color. There was a fireplace with blue flames inside it, a picture of Bill above the fire place (can someone say giant ego), the walls looked like bricks, and there was a couch made up of some material against the wall. And on that couch, Mabel saw Bill. He was looking at her funny and Mabel had a good idea why. She probably looked weird being so relieved to enter a room.
"Did it really take you that long to change?" Bill already deduced what happened, but didn't want to waste time by asking. He didn't tell her where the room was for a reason.
"Er, something like that."
He sighed. "Well then, let's get down to business." He snapped his fingers and a table appeared in the middle of the room. Mabel walked over to it and saw that there was a map placed on top. At least, she thought it was a map. It looked like one but it had places she had never heard about before on it.
"So," Bill began, "if we wants to stop the Shadows of the Underworld from killing you, we need to collect the five shadow shards. Again with the name. Can any of those things come up with a name that doesn't have the word shadow in it?"
Mabel looked at Bill confused. "What on earth is a shadow shard?"
"Shadow shards are five shards, obviously, that come together to create a crystal. For billions and billions of years, that was has kept the shadows inside the Underworld. However, it was recently broken by ways unknown and was scattered across many differently realms. They are now free to go wherever they wish, except the realm of the living, where you live. They would have to find another way to create a portal to get there. Anyways, if we can collect the five shards, we can put them back together so the crystal can be formed again. It will trap the shadows back in the Underworld and they won't be able to escape."
"The only problem is secrecy. We cannot let the shadows know we're trying to find the crystals. If they do, they could find one of the five shards before we do. If they keep us from getting even one, there is no way we can recreate the crystal and trap them in the Underworld." Bill glanced over at Mabel, who was still trying to process the information. "You got all that?"
"Shadow shards, need to find them all, don't let the shadows get even one of them… I think I got it."
"Good. Now, as for where the shards are located, I don't know the exact five realms yet, but I'll have them by tomorrow night." He paused for a second, the continued. "However, there is still one more problem."
Mabel tilted her head. "What's that? It seems like we've already got everything covered."
"I did a little digging, been talking to some old friends, and found out that the shadows have recently created a device that can take away magic."
Mabel's eyes widened. "I never knew that shadows could create things like that."
"I didn't think they could do that at all, Lily is very smart though."
"Lily?"
Bill shrugged. "It's the leader's name. But that's not the point!"
Mabel ran that in her head. Lily. It doesn't sound like the name of being that would want to kill me. It sounds… normal. I wonder who she was when she was alive. Was she mean like she is now, or was she nice? Was she happy or sad? Did she die recently or was it a long time ago? Was she famous or-
Mabel cried out in shock as a firework blew up in her face, causing a bunch of ash to get in her hair. She quickly shook it out then looked over to see Bill glaring at her.
"Are you focused now Shooting Star?"
Mabel didn't reply.
"Good. Now as I was saying, the shadows know who I am and what I can do. If they saw it was me who was helping you, they would take away my magic and not only would you lose your only chance of survival you have, it would hugely impact my reputation as an all mighty dream demon." Mabel rolled her eyes. Of course he was more worried about his reputation.
"So," she grumbled, "what do you have in mind?"
"I need a disguise." Bill's cane appeared and he put both his hands on it. He closed his eye and was deep into thought. He began to mumble to himself. "But what would it be? What would it…"
A thought came to him. His eye flashed open and he turned to face Mabel. He looked at her body until he seemed satisfied. "I guess that would work."
Mabel took a step back and crossed her arms. "Oh no. There is no way you're taking over my body!"
Bill rolled his eye. "I am not taking over your body nor would I want to. You have too many… things that happen to your body in your teenage years." He shuddered and Mabel felt her cheeks warm. "No Shooting Star, I mean I need a flesh bag of my own."
Bill snapped his fingers and a blue flame engulfed his body. Mabel stood back, not exactly sure what to do. She was still trying to process what he meant in her brain. Okay, so he doesn't want to take over my body, that's good. But he said he needed "a flesh bag of his own". What did he mean- Mabel's mind flickered back to the conversation earlier.
Everything passed them in a blur and before she even had time to scream, they stopped. She clutched her stomach, which was now hurting worse than before.
When Bill put her down, she gasped for breath. "What….. what was tha… that?"
Bill shrugged. "Teleportation. Most of you flesh bags, excuse me, humans feel sick the first time they teleport. Don't worry though, it will get easier after a while."
Mabel's eyes widened once again. He called humans flesh bags. That means… Mabel saw the blue fire disappear and gasped at what she saw.
In front of her was a young man, maybe in his late twenties. He had on a yellow brick tail coat with black pants that seemed to blend into his shoes. There was what looked like a white shirt with black buttons underneath the tail coat, but she couldn't see the bottom of the shirt so it might have just been part of the tail coat. He had black sleeves with black gloves on both of his hands. He also had on a black bow tie.
He had yellow hair on top of his head and black hair on the side. There was a top hat floating a little above his head too. And finally, while one of his cat like eyes was showing, his other was coverage by a triangle shaped black eye patch.
Mabel stumbled and put her hand against one of the walls to regain her balance. Her eyes flew back up to the dream demon floating in the air. After a moment, she finally managed to speak. "B-B-Bill?! H-how… How are y-you human?!"
Bill snapped his fingers and a black mirrored appeared in his hands. He began to examine his reflection. "You know," he concluded, "I actually don't look that bad." He made the mirror disappear and he glanced back down at the gawking girl. He couldn't help but grin at her confusion. "Come on Shooting Star, have you never seen a human before?" He flew down and grabbed her chin in his gloved hand. She was to shock to move, which caused Bill to grin even more.
Mabel eventually noticed that he was touching her and she pushed Bill away. Her eyes couldn't leave him however. "S-since," she choked out, "s-since when do you have a h-human form?"
He flew higher in the air. "Since now! I didn't even know I had a human form. Although," he put a hand to his chin in thought, "I never exactly had a reason to have one, or wanted one for that matter."
Mabel was about to question him further when she realized something. Her hands were staring to disappear. She was waking up.
Bill sighed. "Shame, I thought we had a bit longer to talk. Although, it did take you a while to actually fall asleep."
Mabel stopped looking at her hands and sent a glare Bill's way. "Huh. I wonder why?"
"I haven't the slightest idea!" Bill snapped and levitated Mabel again.
Wait, the last time Bill did this... She realized what he was doing and looked down, not wanting to see him, and clenched her fists. "Please don't do it again."
Bill placed his forefinger under her chin and lifted her head up so she was looking at him. If they were even a centimeter closer they would be touching. "I said it once Shooting Star and I'll say it again. I like hearing you scream in fright." His grin grew even more (if that was possible) and he snapped his fingers making a black void appear beneath Mabel.
She glanced down at the void and swallowed the lump in her throat. Why did she have to be afraid of heights!
Collecting herself, she looked back up at Bill, her glaring returning, fiercer than ever before. "Bill Cipher, I hate you. I will always hate you."
"I have the exact same feelings towards you Shooting Star. I hate you, and I always will." He pulled back and lifted his right hand. "See you tomorrow Shooting Star."
He snapped his fingers.
Mabel fell, screaming the name of the dream demon, her voice full of hate.
Once again, the last thing she heard was Bill's laughter.
Mabel awoke to something soft being smashed in her face and the smell of smoke.
Wait, smoke? Mabel bolted up right and saw Dipper with a pillow in hand. His face showed the urgency he was feeling.
"Mabel, we need your help down in the kitchen! Grunkle Stan practically set it on fire!"
"What!" Mabel and Dipper covered their ears as the fire alarm went off.
Dipper ran towards the door, hands still on his ears. He shouted to her before speeding out of the room. "Hurry!"
When Dipper exited, Mabel put her head in her hands, ignoring the horrid sound of the fire alarm.
This was going to be a long day.
I had so much fun writing that chapter! The only problem I really had was decided on which version of Bill as a human I wanted. I had to decide between two of them. Seriously, that's what took me so long.
Also, do guys remember when I said that I would be asking for suggestions in one of the earlier chapters? Well, I am now asking for suggestions. I do have some ideas in mind, but since you guys are so awesome for reading, reviewing, following, and favoriting my story, I want to give you a chance to contribute! I need you guys to contribute ideas to some of the realms Bill and Mabel are going to visit. For example, you could say that it is all underwater, or you could even say that the whole place is green. Anything your heart desires! The only rule that I have that it has to be T rating appropriate. And of course if I use your idea, you will be credited.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please R&R, follow, and favorite. If you have any criticism or things you think I could improve on, don't be shy! Tell me in a review. I would love to hear what you guys have to say. I hope enjoyed the chapter and you will read the next one! Until then…
Peace! GamerFan369
