The dinner table that night was quiet except for Soos and Gideon trying to make small talk to diffuse the tension. Mabel sat next to Bill and Dipper. Stan sitting next to Dipper on the end was staring across the table glaring at Stanley's empty spot at the other end. Mabel looked to Bill's left and saw Robbie's empty seat. Across from Mabel Pacifica's seat was without a person. Dipper went to open his mouth and shut it deciding against whatever he was going to say. Bill wouldn't even look her in the eye. The only thing he said to her during the meal was pass the salt. The end of the meal was nearing since Wendy and Dipper started picking at their food. Longing to get away from the okwardness of the situation. Stan finally broke the silence by shouting out, "Ok everybody! I am NOT going to go through another silent dinner ever. We are going to play a game before we all leave the room. Nobody leaves until all matters are solved! I will explain. We are all going to say one thing. That thing will be a problem we have with each other. It can be about anyone. If you have more than one say so but we are a team we have to work together and silence isn't solving our problems. Got it we start with Gideon."
Everyone was clearly either shocked or completely unfazed by the outburst. Yet Gideon still spoke. "I only have one problem." All eyes were on him in fear of the wrath of Grunkle Stan. "My problem is that everybody besides Soos is treating me like I'm nothing." Everybody stared at Stan. "What happens now." Gideon said quietly.
"Ohh yeah everybody has to say one thing about what the problem is." Stan said. "Gideon I'm sorry you feel that way. Some of us are busy and your past attitudes reflect badly. I'll try to do better." Charlotta and Dipper said about the same thing in different words. Soos said. "I'm glad I make you feel comfortable Gideon." Wendy and Bill both said. "Look Gideon we don't think your useless your moment of use just hasn't come yet."
The whole table looked at me for my sentence. I began, "Look Gideon. I don't have anything against you. I agree with everything that's already been said. I'm just trying to figure out how to save the world still." Everybody looked pleased with my answer and Gideon thanked everybody for their answers. Soos started up, "I don't have a big problem I just want everybody safe and to stop arguing dudes." Everybody agreed with Soos so we moved on to Wendy.
"Ok everybody. I only have one problem. The secrets everybody's keeping. I know everybody them. Why don't you all tell one secret you're keeping from the group and I'll be happy." Everyone either looked at Wendy and gave her a look that said, 'I'm not sharing my secrets with them!' But with one of Wendy's I'm gonna go all lumber jack on you if you don't do it now everyone reluctantly said something. Gideon started, "Ok you want a secret. I don't really have one that applies to the group. But I'll tell one anyway. I want to go back to my family and girlfriend. I miss them and they mean a lot to me." Mabel thought about this. "Well Gideon took his turn so I will now." She began, "I just don't want to go back in there. I want to make up my own plan. Also I plan to reveal the rest with my turn."
Soos and Charlotta both said they didn't have important secrets. Everything they had to say already was said. Stan said, "Look everyone Wendy made me realize I do have one thing I've kept from you. My brother and I had a plan for that night we didn't get to. Mabel when you go back the last time we may kill Bill and trap all monsters in the portal for all eternity. Just be prepared for that." That drew a shocked look to Bill and Mabel's faces. But Mabel didn't have time to say anything because Bill jumped in. "All I want is the truth as well but I want to share my secret with my turn." Everybody murmured an okay and Dipper began his secret. "I know what it is what you want Wendy. You want to know why I brainwashed you. To be honest it's because I care about you Wendy. I couldn't live with the fact you would witness all those deaths. I love you Wendy and I couldn't leave you to go crazy and mad." Wendy was tearing up. In fact all the girls were tearing up.
"Okay not to interrupt this sweet moment but that secret that I'm keeping now that I'm thinking about it I can't stop." Bill interrupted. "I don't want you to save Stanley." Grunkle Stan looked like he was about to explode. Saving his twin brother was the only thing on his mind. "But why don't you want us to save Stanley, Bill?" Mabel asked.
"It's just that I don't think it will work." He said. "Stanley May be trapped and he might be stuck there forever."
