Hey guys, I am really sorry I have kept you all waiting for a few days. My grandfather actually died suddenly and so I have been dealing with that. Just a fair warning the ending to this fanfiction is going to seem abrupt and bittersweet (not really the type of plot that can have a super happy ending you know?), but I have had it planned out for a while and honestly don't know a better way to end it. I hope you guys enjoy, and as always be sure to like, favorite, and review!

"Mabel! Come back!" Ford and Dipper called after her as she blindly ran past her drama teacher and the other students. She didn't know where she was going or what she would do when she got there, she just wanted to run forever.

She eventually got outside of the school and into the cool night air. It may be sunny California, but nights around this time of year were still brutally cold. She got to an old tree stump by the duck pond outside the school and began to wail into the night. Trying to out scream the howling wind, hoping somewhere, wherever her Grunkle might be that he could hear her pleas of remorse.

"It's….it's all my fault….I killed him! I….I made him cross his heart….and….and hope to die! And he did! He must hate me forever!" she cried out, her shoulders shaking wildly, until she felt a familiar six finger hand.

"Mabel, dear he was sick for months….he didn't want to worry you or your brother. He died knowing that you both loved him very dearly, just like he loved both of you dearly. There was nothing any of us could have done, however there are things that we can do now. You can take a few deep breaths and go back out there and shine like the star he knew that you were. You and Dipper can continue to live your lives fully. He and I both see so much promise for both of you, and in continuing to live your lives it will be like Stanley isn't gone, because you can tell his story." Ford said rubbing Mabel's back as he talked.

Mabel took a big deep breath, gave her surviving Grunkle a tight hug, and without any emotion entered back into the school. She knew exactly what she had to do.

As she entered Dipper and her drama teacher rushed over to make sure she was alright, but Mabel walked right past them. She was a girl on a mission, and it was almost Eliza's next cue.

Her first song in the second act was one of the hardest to get through, because of its upbeat nature, but Mabel went out there and acted like a pro. Getting a huge laugh out of the audience as she attempted to beatbox during young Phillip Hamilton's poem. Ford and Dipper watched from the wings of the theatre, amazed and so proud of her poise.

After that song Mabel got a long break, while on stage Alexander was cheating on her and insuring that he would "never be president now". During this time Dipper and Ford tried talking to her, but she just had this blank stare on her face. When she entered to sing the song "burn" in which she discovers Alexanders affair she started the song with this very controlled voice, but as the song wore on she brought her own pain and heartbreak center stage, as she practically melted before the audiences eyes. Of course the audience simply thought that the young girl was a wonderful actress, and when the song finished she was able to quickly wipe her very real tears and continue the show with this grace that awed Ford and Dipper. She kept that graceful posture during the song "blow us all away" in which the boy playing Alexander explained to Phillip that his mother "couldn't take another heartbreak". In the next song, however Phillip did indeed break his mother's heart as he struggles and succumbed to gunshot wounds he obtained during a violent duel. Right before the lights went down Mabel let out this painful wail that while part of the play was coming from a very real place.

There were points that Dipper and Ford didn't think Mabel would be able to make it until the end of the play, but before either of them knew it the final song was upon them. Alexander Hamilton had died, and George Washington was singing to him about legacy (Ford was impressed with the historical accuracy….but it certainly isn't conventional). They sang about when we die our story is left in the hands of those who knew and loved us. Ford and Dipper truly felt the full weight of that message, and they already had tears in their eyes before the light shown on a beautiful, radiant, Mabel.

As she stepped towards center stage she felt as though her beloved Grunkle was taking each step with her. She sang about how she was given the beautiful gift of time, and how she stopped wasting time on tears, and spent every minute of that time furthering the legacy of Alexander Hamilton. Mabel sang the words just as they had been practice, but in her mind she was not singing about Alexander. She was singing about a man who may have drawn his face on a few pretend dollar bills, but had no monuments, or statues, or renown, but who deserved all of those things and so much more. Right then and there on that stage Mabel vowed that she would tell his story. She and Dipper both would, people may think they are crazy, or making it all up, but they would devote their lives to proving how true it was. They would make sure that everyone they came across would know of that gruff, funny smelling, lovable old man who only wanted to be remembered. As the final notes were sung and Eliza reunites with Alexander once again, Mabel knew that one day just like in the play she would hold her Grunkle's hand again. Alexander then lead Eliza down to the very front of the stage, and as she looked out in the audience and saw Ford and Dipper looking on with so much pride she let out a gasp and fell on her knees in tears. The lights went down, and the audience went wild.
