Mabel tried to escape the cloudiness that had taken over her vision. She struggled and fought against it. But as she pushed herself back to the Earth, mind-numbing pain washed over her entire body. So she let go. Slowly loosing consciousness.

She remembered being in her brother's arms as he sang to her. She remembered hearing the rain roll in out of no where as she jumped in front of Dipper to protect him from Robbie. She remembered all the pain she felt...

Mabel's entire life flashed before her eyes, in an array of colors and beautiful sounds. And then it all faded to white...

. . . . .

She woke up in a meadow, surrounded by trees. Mabel toyed with the fabric of the long white dress she'd awoken in. It was so beautiful.

A humming bird fluttered by her, and Mabel's eyes widened. Something told her to stand up, so she did. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. There was a stream, not to far from where she was standing. A few stones created a pathway across the stream.

Mabel walked right across them with her bare feet admiring the crystal clear water that was flowing past her. She didn't know where she was or where she was going. But she kept walking. A beautiful white doe was romping around in the grass with her foal.

Besides the insects, plants, and animals Mabel was all alone. She tangled her toes in the grass and took a long, deep breath. She knew where she was...

Her heart sank just a bit as she realized it. A soft breeze blew her chocolate hair around. The leaves on the trees rustled quietly. A butterfly landed on her shoulder. She giggled because the small insect had startled her.

Mabel kept walking. She walked through a bright green wonderland for what seemed like hours before she stopped. She came to a large field of lush grass that stretched for miles in every direction. Mabel looked back to find that the forest had completely disappeared. There was not a tree in sight.

She closed her eyes and twirled around. There was no human being where she was. Including herself...

She ran through the grass as long as she wanted to. She never got tired or hungry or weak. Mabel just kept going. She kept running until she spotted a human shaped figure in the distance. "Hello?" she called out. But there was no response. So Mabel took off toward whatever it was she'd found. As she got closer she saw that it was a man. She ran right behind him and tapped his shoulder. "Hello? Mister?" Then he turned to face her.

He was light skinned, with jet black hair that crept down to his shoulders. He was wearing a loose fitting white shirt and a pair of faded blue jeans. "Mabel Pines," he said. Mabel stared up at him, as he was a good 8 inches taller than the twelve year old girl.

"How do you know my name?" she asked the man. He knelt down on one knee, reaching Mabel's eye level.

"I know everything about anything you've ever wanted to know." He put a hand on her shoulder.

"Can you tell me exactly where I am?" she asked, looking around the vast field.

"I think you already know that my dear," he replied. Mabel swallowed hard. She knew it...

But she didn't want to be here! She wanted to go home and see her parents one last time. She wanted to tell Dipper that she'd be alright. Mabel knew there was no going back. She was no longer human, but a soul wandering through this strange after-life.

"Well you know my name's Mabel, but what's yours?" she asked. The man chuckled and stood up once again.

"My name is not important. But you know what is?" The man held out his left hand. A little ball of light grew in his palm. "This little light, will give you the power to reach someone that is still alive. Maybe a relative or a friend." Mabel gasped. This was exactly what she needed. After some careful thought, she spoke.

"You see mister, I have er- had a twin brother. But you probably already knew that..." Her voice trailed off as he nodded. "We have a connection. A-and I don't want him to be in so much pain. I just know this will be hard on him." The light started to fade slowly, as the man focused his gaze upon it.

When it disappeared entirely, he pulled Mabel into a hug. "He's going to be alright Mabel. Dipper's a strong boy." He rubbed her back in a slow comforting way as he sensed the girl crying into his shoulder. He stepped out of the hug and looked at Mabel. She gazed into his warm brown eyes, and felt calmed in an instant. "Welcome home..."

The man's figure faded and Mabel was alone. She closed her eyes for a split second. When she re opened them, a large path of sand and dirt appeared at her feet. Her long white dress trailed behind her as she walked forward. She didn't know where she was going, or how long she'd be here. She smiled a bit, and she did know one thing...

This was a good place to be.

A/N: Yes, I did add a new character but you won't be seeing him again. Because of the feedback I've gotten recently, I decided to take this story a bit further. There will be at least ten chapters in total when this is done. I'm thinking of changing the title of this fic, because it doesn't fit the story anymore. If you have any ideas for a new title, feel free to PM them to me and I'll consider using one. And lastly, if this gets close to 75 reviews (give or take a few) I'll be writing a sequel of some sort. Thanks for reading!
