Hi guys I'm evil. I CANT BELIEVE I HAVET POSTED IN OVER TWO MONTHS. I'm sorry I have just been so busy and this chapter is short and badly out together. I promise next chapter will be better and more exciting!

One, two, three. Twirl. One, two, three. Pose.

Mabel was dancing around the attic, her hair spinning, a breeze hitting her face.

First she did the only ballet she knew, then she just twirled and twirled until she fell, which she found very fun.

She was alone. Dipper was downstairs. Ford was in the basement. Stan was in the gift shop with Soos and Wendy. Well, she wasn't exactly alone. She still had Waddles the pig.

Waddles apparantely was chewing on a bunch of her skirts she had left out. She ran and jumped onto the bed, and Waddles jumped into her arms. Mabel laughed as Waddles licked her face. Then he started chewing on her sweater sleeve.

She saw the hand on the clock reached 1 o' clock.

"It's fun o'clock everyone!" Mabel laughed.

She picked up Waddles and twirled around with him.

"Today's weather calls for rainbows with a chance of dance parties!"

It might not have been a day for rainbows, but for dance parties it was. Mabel turned on the music and danced around.

The door swung open.

"Come on? You're having a dance party without me?" Dipper laughed.

He joined in and Mabel turned the music up to max volume. Dipper had gotten much better at walking, but he had strange moments sometimes when his legs would give out or he would cry out in pain. It had been happening more often each day. Mabel wondered what in the world Bill had done to him. It had been about three weeks since she saved him. What had Bill done that lasted this long?

The dance party was a success. But it as it was coming to an end, Dipper stopped then grabbed his shoulder.

"Dipper! Are you okay?" Mabel shouted, rushing over to him.

"Yeah I'm fine!" he replied, but he still looked in pain.

"Let me see," Mabel said, and she began to remove Dipper's hand from his shoulder.

"NOOO!" he shouted, "I mean, I'm fine."

He walked away.

...

The crash of the falls echoed. The spray hit her face. The cave was dark and damp. It was almost midnight. Someone should come soon. She looked at the drawing on the wall. The symbols seemed to shimmer, to SHINE. It seemed to call her, to control her.

Someone walked in. Why did it seem like everyone she knew was related to this wheel?

It was Grunkle Stan.

She had seen other people, friends and family, that had come in the strange state. But it was almost impossible to watch Grunkle Stan walk aimlessly with glassy eyes.

She bit her lip and held back tears as she watched him. She knew he couldn't see or hear her, but something about another person being there made her embarrassed to cry. His hand reached for the chalk, the lines forming on the stone.

She didn't know if it was a fish or something that he drew. But it was on his fez, for sure.

As Grunkle Stan left the cave, Mabel thought about all this.

She didn't know what to make of this whole mess. She didn't understand the wheel, the trance, anything.

But she did know someone who might.

She knew a supernatural genius who might have some idea of what this wheel was.

Tomorrow, she decided, she would bring Dipper to the falls.

...

Last night when she came back from the falls she dreamed of a perfect world.

Too many rainbows in the sky to count. Stuffed animals, puppies and a giant Waddles. It was a ridiculous, beautiful, amazing world. Endless summer where she'd never have to grow up.

When she woke up, she knew nothing like it could ever happen.

Dipper must have already woken up, because he was not in the room. She saw him on the couch reading some nerd mystery book.

"Good morning Dipper," said Mabel.

"Morning," said Dipper.

She sat next to Dipper and turned on the tv.

"Last night we had a strange weather occurance," said Shandra Jimenez, "It has been reported that acid rain disinigrated some of the woodland trees and strange red lightning burned down the old Gleeful factory..."

Mabel shut off the tv.

"What was that all about?" asked Dipper.

"I don't know," said Mabel.

She hoped Gideon was okay.

But there wasn't time to see him now. There was a carnival in town, and she couldn't wait to go.

...

When she, Dipper, Stan, and Soos got there, Mabel grabbed Dipper's hand, and they ran into the ground.

"Where to first?" Mabel asked.

"Wherever we want," said Dipper.

They ran around the entire place, eating cotton candy, playing games, going on rides. It felt good to finally be having some mindless fun with Dipper.

But it all ended too soon.

They were brought home. When they got in their beds, Mabel fell fast asleep.

...

"Oh no."

It was exactly 11:57 at night. How did she sleep so late?

Mabel jumped up, grabbed her amulet, and floated away. She hoped she would make it by midnight, or she'd miss the next symbol!

She flew at an unbelievable speed, almost crashing into trees on the way.

At last, she plopped down and slipped into the cave.

She had just made it. Soos was already inside.

"I'm starting to expect stuff like this," said Mabel.

Soos didn't respond.

"It's weird to talk while you're in that trance," she said, "It's like talking to a dead person."

"Yeah."

She spun around.

"Did you say something?!"

Soos didn't respond.

I must have imagined it, she thought.

At last he left, leaving a question mark symbol. As she flew back, she had a weird thought.

It was funny that Soos came the day before his birthday.

Again sorry that it was so bad. Next chapter will be better. Bye!
