(AN: Sorry about the delay, I had family issues, then surgery then school started. It's been crazy) (I do want to say that Mabel will not be choosing her family. This isn't her being OOC. This is her being a demon. She doesn't have the capability of feeling love.)

(Anyways hope you enjoy. Please review!)


Mabel kept working on making the bubble when she heard screaming, "Dipper!" She jumped up and ran into the room, Dipper was holding the memory gun to Ford, "Pine Tree, is that what you were going to call me?"

"I was going to say please." Ford glanced at Mabel, "he thinks I'm with Bill, Mabel. Help him."

Mabel nodded and flew beside Dipper, "Dipper, it's okay. I'm here." She placed a hand on his arm, "Grunkle Ford doesn't work with Bill. Not anymore anyway."

"W-what do you mean?" Dipper said slowly lowering the gun.

"I know things remember Dipper. Let Grunkle Ford explain." She hugged him, "you can trust him."

"Alright." He said sitting down, taking her hand, "I'll listen."

"Tell him everything." She said, "He can handle it."

Ford sighed, "your sister is right, I used to work with Bill, he was my partner." Ford explained everything, "I made a mistake Dipper, I thought I could trust him. But now I need to stop him, not only to save the world but to keep my family safe."

"Speaking of stopping Bill, I think I've made exactly what we need to keep the rift safe from Bill." Mabel said, "Can I see the rift?" She asked holding out her hands.

Ford nodded and handed it to her. Mabel encased it in a bubble and let it go, "There, now it can't be touched. That bubble is near impenetrable. It won't break." Until I want it to.

"That's perfect Mabel!" Ford said beaming, prodding the bubble, "Thank you."

Mabel grinned, "I'm glad to help." she glanced at the bubble once more before looking at the pair, "So we can't stop him from coming into the house because of me. But maybe he's done. He can't touch me, and nobody else will take a deal. If he knows that he'll leave us alone right?

"I'm not sure about that Mabel. Bill enjoys his games, getting under our skin. He's going to want to unhinge us."

She frowned, "But the rift is safe, he has nothing to hold over us."

"He'll try," Ford replied.

"Then we need to figure out a way to permanently destroy him."

Both Dipper and Ford blinked, "Wow...Uh, Mabel you feeling okay?" Dipper asked rubbing the back of his neck, "That seemed kind of...intense."

Mabel crossed her arms, "After what he did to me, what he's done to our family he deserves to be destroyed, besides if we don't he could destroy our world."

"Your sister's right Dipper, and there is a way to defeat him," Ford said.

"I know we need to defeat him...You just didn't sound like yourself, Mabel." Dipper said.

Mabel rubbed her arms, "Look after everything that happened, including becoming a demon I was bound to change a little. I'm sorry if I worried you, little brother."

"Did you just call me little?"

"Well yeah, I'm older and taller than you." She smirked.

Dipper walked over and bat her hair over her face, "Doesn't mean much" He said with an amused look.

I need to keep him distracted...I pushed too much. I can't have him suspecting. "Puh." She said and pulled her hair aside, "You win this round"

Ford smiled sadly at the pair, "Alright, how about we go and get some lunch."

"Alright!" The pair said grinning, Dipper grabbing his sister's arm and walking with her to the shop. He was going to make an effort to spend time with her. Bill had struck a chord with him. Had Mabel been that lonely? She certainly had hidden it well.


Ford walked the two up to the kitchen, "What'll it be?"

Mabel shrugged, "You guys can have anything, I don't need food."

Dipper frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I don't get hungry." Mabel said, "I'll eat, mainly to keep my body functioning. I sleep for the same reason, but I myself don't need it." She paused, "I'm just possessing myself so I can enter this world."

"Interesting." Ford mused, "I was under the impression that you had fully connected with your body."

"Nope."Mabel rubbed her arms, "But it's the only way I can be in this world. It's weird talking about it."

"What else is different?"

Mabel frowned, she needed to tread carefully, "not much, I can glimpse into the future, briefly to see small things, I wonder how he did this to me, if it's his own power he transferred, or if it's an ability demon have."

"Let's not experiment." Dipper said, "and can we change the topic?"

"Sorry Dipper." Mabel rubbed the back of her neck, "Let's just eat, then get back to work." She glanced at her Grunkle, "If I have the Journals I can keep them safe too. We know Bill wants them."

"That is true." Ford said, "And using the protective spell you used on the rift…" He rubbed his chin, "I see no problem in this. Dipper?"

"If we can keep Bill away from the journals, it's just one more step to stop him from getting into our world," Dipper replied

"Stop him before he can start." Ford smiled, "Thanks, Mabel."

"I'm glad to help." Mabel stood, "While you guys are cooking I'm going to practice a bit more."


She hugged her brother quickly before heading upstairs.

"Shooting Star, you're moving a lot faster than expected." Bill said hovering in front of her, laughing, "At the rate you're moving we could have Weirdmagedon by tomorrow."

"That's the plan. If I can get them...The fun will start."

"Yes, it will. But what about your family?"

"What about them?" Mabel replied, "Are you trying to gauge my feelings?"

"Yes. I don't want any weak links."

Mabel's eyes narrowed, "You took away my capability to feel anything towards them when you turned me into a demon."

He crossed his arms, "I did, but this is also the first time I've ever given power like this to a human." He moved closer, "I don't know what will happen."

She exhaled slowly, "I. Feel. Nothing."

He laughed, "You say that. We'll see how that holds up when you have to fight them."

"I don't see why this is coming up now Bill." Mabel glared at him, "Have I not shown that I'm willing to do this."

"Geez Shooting Star. Relax, you don't want to bring the shack down. Clearly, you're dedicated."

"I'll get the journals put away then bring the Rift out to the woods." Mabel said, "Then we'll have fun."

Footsteps echoed up the stairs, "Mabel? Are you alright?"

She blinked, "I'm fine." She said, "Don't worry bro bro."

"Well, lunch is ready, then we can go back to work." Dipper smiled, "I really am glad we're working together on this. Just like before."

"Yeah, just like before." She took her brother's hand, "Let's go eat."


Back in the lab, Ford took out the journals, "These hold the key to defeating Bill for good." He handed them to Mabel, "These are our fall back in case something happens to the rift."

Mabel took them, "So lock them up like I did with the rift?"

"Essentially, then we're done for the day and can relax knowing we've defeated Bill."

Mabel smiled, "We have." She formed the bubble around them, leaving the Journals floating next to the rift, "Good?"

"Good." Ford said, "Now that's everything's settled we can relax for a bit, maybe explore and find more mysteries. The two of you could very well make more journals."

Dipper glanced at his sister with a grin, "Wouldn't that be fun Mabel?"

"Definitely." she grinned at him, "with us working together we'll find as many mysteries as you did Grunkle Ford."

Ford smiled, "I don't doubt it."

"You're still down here?" Stan said walking into the room, "you're going to run Mabel into the ground if you don't give her a break."

"We had a break, Stanley." Ford said rubbing his eyes, "I'm not going to let her get hurt."

"I'm alright Grunkle Stan." Mabel said, "But I do think I think I should give my body a chance to rest, using my powers like that is strenuous."

"You go upstairs then Mabel, we'll finish off down here." Ford clasped her shoulder, "Thank you for helping us, Mabel."

"Anytime Grunkle Ford" She smiled.


Walking up the stairs she grinned, "Ready?"

"Take the lead Shooting Star," Bill replied excitement in his voice.

She snapped her fingers, transporting herself and the rift to the woods, the area eerily quiet. Snapping her fingers once more the bubble bursting.

And the Rift fell.

As it crashed his laugh filled the air.

"Finally!" He started to form in front of Mabel who was grinning ear to ear, "Shooting Star, I didn't know if you'd pull through but you managed just 's have some fun."
