In the dark,

I walk and run,

Can't feel your love,

Waiting for the Sun.

The Sun comes up,

Apon me,

But now I took notice,

Of you hanging from a Tree.

Mabel didn't feel right.

She didn't know why.

She would go up to Dipper and feel right.

She would go up to Grunkle Stan and feel right.

So why is it that she felt wrong going up to Grunkle Ford?

"Hey Dip-Dop?" Mabel asked. Maybe he knew.

"Yeah?"

I wonder If he knew about it.

"Do you feel strange around Grunkle Ford?" Mabel winced on her words-of course he didn't. Dipper idolized the author. Maybe it was just her. But to her surprise, Dipper responded with "Yes," which Mabel wasn't expecting.

"Sometimes I feel as if Great Uncle Ford doesn't trust me. Like he's lying."

Ah, so he didn't understand.

"Not like that... Like..." Mabel trailed off. "Like I get a wierd stomach ache. Like I'm..."

"Scared of him?" Dipper finished Mabels thoughts.

"Yeah, I guess like that." Mabel said with a laugh. "How'd you know?"

"Eh, I can feel it." "Twin telepathy." Dipper smiled. As if like that, Stan came.

"Oi! It's 30 minutes past your bedtime! Get up! Now!"

"Okay, okay, we're coming," Dipper said with a grin forming on his face.

The twins ran up the porch and up the wooden stairs. Mabel hops into bed, and Dipper follows.

"Hey." "Dipper." "Do you think Grunkle Ford likes me?" Mabel asked, unable to see Dippers face.

"He does! But if you need confirmation, I'll ask him tomorrow." With that conformation, Mabel felt a lot better. And with that, Mabel began to nod off, into a peaceful sleep.

Mabel walked in to the basement, with a pit in her stomach. "Hey, Grunkle Ford?" "I need your help with-" Grunkle Ford jumped at the sudden appearance, and almost dropped the rift. "MABEL!" He said, screaming with anger. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU COULD'VE DONE?!" Mabel started to shake, and cry harder and harder. "STOP! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO CRY! STOP CRYING!" And with that he grabbed her by the back of the neck with a gentle, but hard grip. Mabel starts to scream and cry ten times harder than before. Ford snaps out of his anger and then realizes what he did. "Mabel-kid-I-I'm sorry!" "I just-" But Mabel wasn't having it. She got free of his grip and ran. "Dipper?!" "Hello?!" Mabel said with worry. Ford walked into the room, and said something with a ominous tone. "You spoiled brat."

Mabel woke up In a cold sweat.

She looked at the clock. "3:25..." Mabel grumbled. She knew It was gonna be hard getting back to sleep.

But as for the nightmare...

She was still haunted by what her Grunkle had done a month ago.

But she brushed it off, and felt the time taking it's effect on her. She was going to Grendas camp tomorrow, and she needed all the sleep she could get.

So she closed her eyes, and after what felt like an infinity, she finally went into a hot, dream less sleep.

A/N: Hi! I just wanted to clear up some things. i'm not saying that Ford would do that, it's something that my dad is done to me. I decided to take Ford as my dad since they kind of have the same aura to them. Thanks for reading this chapter!
