Previously...
She frowned, "Would teaching me magic do anything to help?"
"... Maybe. They don't have their mystical amulets, so... they don't have any of their own magic... so, maybe..." He admitted, "We can start tomorrow. Near noon. You can bring Dipper along, too... and Ford. Ford probably knows a bit, from him, but... I'm not sure."
She nodded, getting up, "Okay..."
...
"Bill, I made a mistake... and now I'm close to paying for it, so... I have to do something, and... I'm warning you about it now," Alex admitted.
He sighed, "What is it, Alex?"
"Everything will crumble if I don't have someone to make chaos. Someone will have to take your place for that. So... this might be one of the last times I contact you," Alex sighed.
He frowned, "Who?"
"Will."
He screamed, waking up.
He frowned, calling out, "Dipper?! Mabel?! Blue?! Anyone up?!"
Five people ran into the room, tackling him onto the floor. He yelped in shock, looking at the array of brown hair, spotting only one head of blonde hair. He sighed, realizing who all of them were.
"Darn it Goldie, can't you stay out of chaos for one minute?!" Dipper shouted, once everyone had stopped hugging him.
He laughed, "Can't help it, Pinetree. The chaos loves me~"
"Yeah, well... I love you more than the stupid chaos does!" Dipper's face went red after saying that.
Mabel grinned, "Anyway... since you've gone, this girl had a date, that actually went amazing! We kissed and everything!"
"Who?" He asked, smirking.
Mabel sighed, "Well, that was-" "-You already know, don't you?" Dipper interrupted his twin.
He laughed, "Sharp as always, Pinetree. Yes, I know that you went on a date with Will. I know he kissed you. Honestly, I'm kinda proud of him. He actually asked a girl on a date. What are the odds? Besides, you got the ring, so... he doesn't have to do it ever again."
"The ring?" Dipper questioned in confusion, "What's that?"
He sighed, "It's a special ring. There's only four in existence. It ties people together, and their pretty much soulmates for all of eternity. It also allows one of them to have many more lives, and... every time, the other will know immediately when the first has come back to life. It feels like a pull. It's from the back of your head. It pulls you and your soulmate together, and eventually you will meet... and then the other will know when they've found them."
"Woah! That's so cool! Who was them?!" Mabel asked, excitedly.
He grinned, "Dipper got one many generations ago in a past life, you got one yesterday, and... both Will and I have had one since forever. We used to have both of them, before giving them to both of you."
"Wait... so, why don't I remember you giving the ring to me?" Dipper asked, confused.
He sighed, "Because remembering anything from a past life, especially since it was many past lives, is hard for anyone to do. So... you don't remember."
"What creature was Dipper and what was his name when you gave it to him?!" Mabel asked, always the sucker for romance.
He laughed, "A young girl named Maria."
"A girl?" Dipper gulped.
He smiled, "Yes, you were a girl."
"... did... you and her have any kids?" Mabel asked.
He shook his head, "No, she died before I could do anything..."
"How'd she die? What was she like?" Mabel asked.
He sighed, "Burning, because she talked to me so much, that... the other townsfolk thought that I was a demon, so... I had to make them think that she was the demon, not me. She was wonderful. Always kind, compassionate, and caring about everything."
"Sounds like you really liked her, err... Dipper, or whatever," Mabel smiled.
He nodded, "I still do. Amusingly, you remind me of her, Mabel. Yet, you're not her. That's Dipper's honor, not yours."
"Wow. Can we stop talking about romance for a moment? Please?" Dipper asked.
Mabel giggled, "Fine."
Mason and Star scowled, walking over to Stanford.
Mason sighed, "They've escaped."
"This isn't what we needed. Well, at least we still have some test subjects... hopefully soon, anyway," Stanford grumbled.
A voice called out from the darkness, "You're not hurting anyone."
That's the last thing they could hear, before pieces of styrofoam covered their mouths, knocking them out.
The next thing they saw was darkness. They soon realized that they were all tired to metal chairs, with metal chains. They could hear the swooshing as fire, as they realized the metal was getting hotter... someone had set the metal on fire. The fire was yellow. They could hear music playing, and they could make out the lyrics:
Long, long time ago
I had my own little show
Was a beautiful, loveable angel
But he took the spotlight, shining so bright
Left me to fade away
But honey, now the turn is mine
A devil made from heaven, Sent from above
Looks like Henry's got a little date, let's have some fun
We've got lots to do little errand boy
Come to me at cloud nine
To be the perfect Angel, some sin must be done
You told me what to do and what to say, I couldn't escape
You got to choose the ending of my fate, you put me astray
But not anymore
I'm in control
I have the stage
You can't turn the page
Now all eyes on me
All eyes on me
Ba-da bap bap
Bap bap ba-doo ba duh
So many experiments, so many mistakes
But I'll go all the way till I'm in perfect shape
(First the worst, maybe thirds the charm)
So close, oh, I cannot wait
The demon won't taint me now, 'cause you're the sacrifice he'll slay
You said I wasn't good enough to stay, you put me away
You took away my future and my fame, but now that will change
Focus on me
I'll be all that they see
I'll make them sway
No, can't run away
Now all eyes on me
You don't know what it's like to drown away in a puddle of shame
You, yes you, made me insane
But not anymore
I'm in control
I have the stage
You can't turn the page
Now do as you're told
Focus on me
I'll be all that they see
I'll make them sway
No, can't run away
Now all eyes on me
Now all eyes on
All eyes on me
Someone was in the room with them, they realized, as they noticed light blue eyes in front of them, the only source of light. They heard the door lock, and then mumbling, "You're not hurting them again."
