A/N: There will be an f-bomb, just so you guys know.

The next morning, Ford cam into the twins' bedroom to wake them up. It was easy waking Dipper up, but Mabel was more of a problem.

"Five more minutes." She grumbled, holding a pillow on top of her head.

"Come on, Mabel. Rise and shine." Said Ford, trying his best. He was shaking her, but she wouldn't budge.

"Let me try." Said Dipper. He had hoped this moment would come. He went into his bag and pulled out an air horn. "Probably a good idea to plug your ears, Great Uncle Ford." Ford did as he was told, and Dipper quietly inched toward Mabel's bed. "This usually works. Here we go." He raised his air horn and pushed the trigger, delivering a loud honk, piercing the silence of the morning.

"Aaauuugh!" Screamed Mabel as she sat up in her bed, now fully awake. She turned over to Dipper, still clutching the air horn. "You son of a-" she paused when she saw Ford standing there, giggling. She looked at her alarm clock. 5:03. "Already?"

"Mabel, did you stay up late?" Asked Ford.

"What? Me? Of course not." Said Mabel.

"Uh-oh. Sir, I'm picking up some serious bullshit over here." Said Dipper, pretending to be holding a walkie talkie. Ford should have scolded him, but that was funny, so he let it slide. He looked over to Mabel again.

"How late, Mabel?"

"It was only till 10:30!" She protested. Ford sighed.

"What were you doing?" He asked.

"Reading Wolfman Bare Chest Five." She said. Ford and Dipper groaned. They both loathed that series.

"Mabel, get up. We've got another long day ahead of us." Said Ford. "Stanley's already making breakfast, so get changed."

Mabel grunted with effort as she tried to get out of her bed. She wasn't a morning person.

They got changed, and headed downstairs for breakfast. The feature was good old Stancakes with bacon. Ford asked the two if they had any nightmares. Dipper didn't have any, and Mabel had a very similar dream to the time she got ahold of the Smile Dip. (She secretly had a stash in the Shack)

Ford looked relieved that no one else had nightmares last night. He was the only one. It was mainly Ford and Bill playing chess, and for every pawn or knight that Ford lost, he received pain. This was a rather gentle nightmare, compared to his other nightmares.

After breakfast, Ford reminded the twins that the Cipher statue is the priority, then McGucket. Then they set off again, Stan and Ford in one direction, and Dipper and Mabel in the other direction.

Dipper and Mabel were unsuccessful in the first five hours of the search. They kept searching, keeping an eye out for the statue and McGucket. They ate lunch at noon, and continued. They arrived to the spot where they had first saw it.

"Mabel, before we continue, we need a plan. We don't want to have it seen and see it slip away. We can't afford that mistake again."

"You're right. You got a plan?"

"As a matter of fact, I do. If we see the statue, we have to bring it back. No ifs, ands, or buts." Mabel giggled. Dipper ignored this. "If any of us get possessed, we have to get the statue and bring it back."

"What? I can't just leave you if you get possessed!"

"You have to. Besides, I've been in these woods forever. I know all around. Eventually Bill will get tired of possessing me, eventually."

"What if you get hurt?"

"I won't get hurt."

"What about your Swiss Army knife?"

Dipper thought for a second. "It's in my right pocket." He said tapping the pocket it's in. "The second I go whacko, take it out, get the statue, and run."

"Why are you so sure you're gonna be the one possessed?"

"I'm not."

"What if I get possessed?"

"I'll take the statue and run. Do you have anything that could possibly hurt you?"

"I only have my grappling hook." She said, patting the grappling hook, attached to her waist.

"Alright." Said Dipper, satisfied with the plan. He always felt better when he's prepared.

The twins continued on their trek. It was two when they found the statue again. There was one problem: it was suspended twenty feet in the air.

"How the hell are we gonna get that down?" Asked Dipper.

"I'm pretty good at climbing trees." Said Mabel.

"Alright, be careful." Said Dipper. He didn't like it. They were so close to the statue and no one's been possessed yet. Something's wrong. "Please hurry up, Mabel. I'm not liking this one bit."

"Why?" Grunted Mabel as she kept climbing.

"No one's been possessed yet, and we're so close to the statue. Something's wrong, so hurry up."

"Okay, Dipstick." Said Mabel as she picked up the pace. Sure enough, in no time she was at the statue. She grabbed the statue, which was pretty heavy for being so small. She then used her grappling hook to lower the statue towards Dipper, with Mabel still twenty feet in the air. The statue got down to five feet above Dipper's head. "Quick get it, bro. I don't feel too good."

This alarmed Dipper. It's happening again. He thought as he got the statue. "Quick, throw down the grappling hook!"

She did as she was told. "Now let's get outta here!" Said Dipper. He rushed out, but stopped and looked at Mabel, struggling to climb down the tall pine tree. "Mabel?"

"I'm fine! Just go!" Said Mabel right before she screamed in agony. Dipper took her advice and sprinted towards the Mystery Shack.

Dipper wheezed as he kept going. Holy hell, this thing's heavy. He thought as he kept sprinting, passing where they had lunch.

Mabel still kept climbing down the tree, fighting Bill off in her mind. "Kindly fuck off, Bill." She said sarcastically.

Why would I want to do that? Said Bill in her head. Stop struggling, or you'll fall.

Mabel fought hard against Bill, but eventually the demon overtook her mind. Her eyes flashed the pale yellow with the black slits as pupils. "This is what you get for being such a pain to control." Said Mabill as she let go of the tree, falling five feet before hitting a large branch and another ten feet before landing on the ground with a great thump. Her body lays there, motionless in pain. Blood flowed from the fresh gash in her head. Mabel's body was unconscious, as Bill came out of her, satisfied with his work. He went back into her body, and she walked in the other direction that Dipper walked.

"This is just the thing I need." Said Bill as he kept forcing Mabel to keep walking. "The girl is just what I need to do the ritual."

Bill cackled as Mabel's body kept walking deeper into the forest.
