"Shooting Star, I need your help." Bill told him, "But I also need you to trust me. Do you trust me?"
"Yes I do trust you, Bill. Are you doubting about that? Because you sound like you are." Mabel answered, "It's not like we didn't spend, I don't know, one, two years together, right?
Bill sighed, "It's different this time, Star. Every passing second is a second erased in my supposed time and I don't know how to feel but my children are becoming non-existent because this past is not going the way it's supposed to."
"You're right, I'm sorry. But I still trust you, Bill. Nothing Dipper says will change my mind. And if what you're saying is true, then we really have to make this quick." Mabel responded, "What did you want me to do?"
"I want you to get Pine Tree's time machine and go as far away as possible from him. Hide it somewhere he won't find it and leave no clue. It can't be destroyed and don't try to. That'll only cause more problems. Make sure that he doesn't use it ever again and if he does, stop him. Then go back here to Gravity Falls. If that's what you want." Bill explained
"Of course that's what I would want. But won't Dipper find me if I go back? Why can't we just see each other somewhere in the world. We can go on a world tour and we can hide the time machine with us. It'll be fun." Mabel smiled at him
"But Gravity Falls is the only place that can cater the kids' abilities. I haven't told you this yet but Ember can manipulate fire and Travis can manipulate snow. Some days were destruction at home but," he remembered Mabel's giddy face as she wore winter clothing in their room because it started snowing and it was quite clear that it was not ending just as soon, "but it was fun. And I always hated kids."
Mabel watched the triangle demon's eye as it slowly made to a hal flid.
"So," she started, "I'll see you?"
Bill turned to her, "Star, you're okay with this, right? I mean, you're not gonna see your family anymore."
Mabel sighed, "It's a scary though." She bit her lip, "But I'm gonna pull through. Don't worry. I'm Mabel Pines."
"Anytime you're ready Star." He finished then popped out of Mabel's dreamscape
Mabel opened her eyes and saw that all the colors were back. She stood up a stretched a bit. If what Bill said was true then she did not have time anymore. So much time has been lost already and they could not afford lose more. What would her parents tell her? They would probably be so disappointed at her but she would not be around when they figured out that she ran away.
I can do this.
She exited her room and peeked downstairs, only to see her twin at the living room and watching the television. She entered his room and rummaged through his drawer. She spotted it at the bottom of the top drawer. Mabel pulled it out and held it tightly.
"So what are you doing here again?"
Her back straightened at his voice. She turned around, placing the time machine at her back.
"What? Oh I thought I'd find Waddles here." She lied
"Inside my drawer?" Dipper raised a brow
"Dipper I just don't know why you're doing this. I mean, why did you turn time back? I wanna stay in Gravity Falls!" Mabel exclaimed
"You wouldn't want me to answer that." He shook his head, "Bill has a plan, alright? Weirdmageddon, did you forget? And your children? A child that is half human and half demon will bring destruction to the world. He was starting to create the second Weirdmageddon and this time, he isn't just going to be confined in Gravity Falls."
"Mabel, after all these years I thought you'd understand that Bill's a threat to all of us. He isn't some supernatural guy for your lovelife. He's bound to kill us. All of us. And that starts with you." Dipper pointed at her, "Now if you really don't have enough faith on your own twin brother then fine. Go ahead and leave. I won't stop you."
Mabel stared at her brother, clutching the machine tightly. She looked down, eyes watering, then back up to her brother.
"Dipper you know that I can't choose just one." She whispered
"Well that's going to be the end of it." He told her, "You either give me that machine or you don't. Honestly, I thought I was doing you a favor. Lovestruck you was never rational and now it's going to cost you your life, my life, our parents, grunkles and everyone we know."
He glared at her, "You don't trust me, now don't you?"
Mabel's shoulders started shaking. She did not know what to do and who to pick. On one hand, Bill seemed right, on the other hand, her brother has been investigating the supernatural that he might possibly be saying the truth.
"What is it then Mabel?"
She dropped the machine and went over to her brother to hug him. He sighed and patted her back in an attempt to ease her pain.
"I promise that I'll protect you for as long as I could, Mabes. You're my twin for a reason." He kissed her forehead, "I promise you that I will never lie to you about this. You just have to believe me that I won't."
"I trust you Dipper." She sniffed, burying her face to his shirt
"Yeah, there, there." He patted her back, "Now how about we get a cup of hot chocolate. Would that be nice?"
Mabel nodded, "That would be nice, yeah."
"Well then," they pulled out of the hug, "last one down to the kitchen gets to clean the dishes for a week!"
He dashed off while his sister still processed the words.
"Hey!" She grinned wide, trying to catch up, "No fair!"
