Mabel dropped the metal shovel. She was speechless; Mabel didn't know what to say. Wasn't he supposed to be in jail? How did he get out? Mabel blinked.

"What? Did I frighten you Mabel? That's not a good way to treat a lil old friend." Gideon said smugly walking up to her.

Mabel rolled her eyes, "We aren't friends and we will never be friends!" Mabel squinted, "But how did you escape from prison?"

Gideon giggled, "Oh, Mabel! I have my ways," he stared to observe his finger nails, "Plus, I wouldn't want to tell ya all my secrets."

Mabel turned her head, "Well how did you manage to get past the government people?"

"Once I escaped there were about a million government agents and cops around. So I did my best not to get seen. Then the gravity stopped and I saw a light comin' from where the shack was. I was curious and once the gravity came back on I decided to come here."

Mabel leaned over to pick up the shovel. Gideon smiled and said, "By the way, what did cause the gravity anomalies?"

Mabel squinted, "I don't have to tell you!"

"Aw, Mabel my Marshmalla', why not," Gideon pouted. He looked at the shovel in Mabel's hands, "Hmm, what are ya doin' anyway?" he looked at the pitch black sky, "And in the middle of the night?"

Mabel wondered if she should tell him about what happened. She really didn't want this little midget to ruin her awesome plan. In the middle of Mable's thought the ground started to shake again, the Mystery Shack light up with a red light.

Gideon lifted his brows at Mabel. Mabel slapped her face, she felt like she was making a very big mistake. Mabel whispered, "Maybe we should talk inside about this."

Gideon followed Mabel inside the shack. Mabel opened the door and shouted, "Soos, I'm back!"

"Did you find the shovel Hambone?"

Mabel walked into the kitchen, "Yup!" Mabel said holding up the shovel. Gideon strolled in behind her.

"Ahh! Intruder, kill it with fire and lasers, dude!" Soos screamed, throwing the empty pudding cup at Gideon.

Gideon dodged the pudding cup and shouted, "Watch it, you over grown jelly bean!"

Mabel stepped in between them, "Stop! Soos," she said calmly, "Gideon's on our side…I think," she said looking at Gideon.

Soos put his hands in his lap and said, "You may enter the room."

Gideon wiped his forehead as Mabel pulled out a chair for herself and Gideon, they both sat down. In the light of the room Mabel could see that Gideon looked really tired. He was wearing an orange prison suit. His hair wasn't in its usual poof, instead it was messed up and it was covered in twigs. Gideon had some dirt on his face too.

Mabel sighed, "Ok, Gideon. We have a really weird history, but if I am going to tell you this stuff you have to listen to me and not be weird."

Gideon responded, "Yes I know, but I can't resist ya. You're just so perfect."

Mabel stuck her finger in her mouth and gagged, "Ew! Gideon just, you, you need to stop!"

Gideon sighed, "Oh fine, now continue."

"Ok, so before you to get in on this, please promise me that you won't do any funny business. Like you know, creating an evil scheme or turning ourselves against each other."

Gideon nodded, "I promise," he said crossing his heart.

Mabel said, "Ok, the government agents are here because of Stan. He stole some radioactive waste and they arrested him. Then he escaped," Mabel blinked, "Gideon the main point of this is that the end of the world is in about five in half hours."

Gideon's eye twitched, "What?"

Mabel explained to Gideon what happened and what was going to come out of the portal. Mabel left out the tiny detail that Stan had a twin brother and that he wrote the journals. She wanted to see the reaction on Gideon's face when Stanley came back. Throughout it Gideon just listened, at the end he squinted at Mabel, "So the portal under the shack is going to release the dream demon, Bill Cipher?"

Mabel nodded, "Yes."

"Where's your brother and Stanford?" Gideon asked looking around.

Mabel replied, "Dipper ran away so Wendy is going to find him and Stan is going to get McGucket. It's all part of my plan to get rid of the agent, they are looking for Stan."

Gideon nodded, "See, I told ya that you would need me."

Mabel nodded, "Ya, I guess you did." Mabel looked Gideon in the eyes, "Can I tell you something?"

Gideon smiled, "Anything, Mabel my dearest."

Mabel leaned over and whispered something in Gideon's ear. Gideon nodded and smiled, "Mabel, you are clever!"

Soos leaned in to listen, "Dude, what are you saying?"

Mabel stopped talking and said, "Sorry Soos, but this is Gideon's part of the plan, no listening!"

Soos shrugged. Mabel continued to whisper, "You got it Gideon?"

"Yes, but how it glitter going to do that?" Gideon asked.

Mabel smirked, "Oh, Gideon! I have my ways," she stared to observe her finger nails, "Plus, I wouldn't want to tell you all my secrets."

Gideon smiled, "Mabel, you know you really are perfect."

"Ew," Mabel frowned and stood up, "I told you no funny business!" She walked to the refrigerator.

Gideon stood up, "Sorry, that probably got kind of weird for ya I suppose."

Mabel opened the refrigerator and looked around, "You think? Hey, do you want anything? Because we are going to need all the food we can get before the apocalypse."

Before Gideon could answer the door slammed open, "Mabel, Soos, I found Dipper!"

Mabel slammed the refrigerator door closed and turned around. In the door way was Wendy and Dipper. Dipper slowly stepped in the kitchen. Mabel stared at him.

"Dipper?" Mabel whispered. He stepped in front of her.

"Mabel," he said slowly, "I-" Mabel ran up and hugged her brother.

"Ugh!" Dipper grunted.

Mabel whimpered, "Bro, I'm so sorry!"

"No," he said rubbing her back, "It's my fault. You did the right thing for trusting Stan."

Mabel looked up, "Really? And you're not mad?"

Dipper looked down, "Not really."

"I'm sorry Dipper."

"Me too…"
