"A sighting of a demon was reported in China. Civilian Ching Way states, 'It had red eyes, huge bat wings, and the body of a golem.' Another sighting was reported in-"

Ford turned off the T.V., "How is that possible? The barrier should keep these things from happening." These news reports have been appearing since Dipper died.

Mabel walked downstairs, it had been two days since Alcor had left, "Grunkle Ford?"

"Yes, honey?" Ford replied.

"D-do you think I could summon Alcor? Please don't get mad, it's just...I had so much fun with him. But now he's gone, and I feel worse than I did before you summoned him in the first place." Mabel looked down with guilt, she knew she shouldn't have asked that but maybe, just maybe, he would say yes.

Ford was stunned, She wants to summon him? But why? He's a demon, a thing of pure evil, a creature of chaos, a-. Ford remembered that Mabel was still staring at him, "M-Mabel, well, no, just no. There is no way I am letting that being under my roof again, he almost killed you!"

"But Grunkle Ford!" Mabel cried, "He tried to save me! He did save me! I told you I remember everything! It was my fault that I ended up in that room! Why won't you believe that! You never trust anyone!" Mabel screamed.

"I don't trust him because he's a demon, and not just any demon, a Cipher! Do you know how much I went through with Bill! I don't want that to happen to you!" He hadn't realized it but he had stood up and now has his six-fingered hands-on Mabel's shoulders, "Do you understand me?"

Mabel hesitated, "No I don't! All Alcor wanted was to be loved! I could tell, " she looked down at her feet, "And after I lost Dipper...He filled the hole in my heart. He was kind, and maybe it was just an act," She stared Ford right in the eyes, "But I want to give him the benefit of the doubt!"

Ford just stared into her determined eyes, mesmerized by how much you can grow up by losing someone you loved.

"And plus," she says quietly, "We never got our information on Dipper." She gave Ford a small smile.

Ford sighed, "Fine. But," he added putting his index finger in the air, "I have to be there with you."

Mabel hugged and thanked Ford for a million times and ran to the kitchen to get the candles.
