Hi guys! I'm just letting you know that one of the nightmares has something to do with The Last Mabelcorn but The Last Mabelcorn never happened in this story. Roadside Attraction didn't either. Now to the story!

Each step she took felt like another weight had been shackled onto her ankles. How long had she been traveling now? 3 hours? No, 4. That meant that including the time it took her to get to the portal, it had been 5 hours. That meant she had 19 hours left.

19 hours. That didn't seem like a lot of time to overcome who knows how many nightmares and to face off with Bill.

The black dot hadn't gotten any bigger. How long would it take for her next nightmare to appear?

Suddenly, her vision began to blur. All she could see were smudges of color.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, the blurs of color formed into... Gravity Falls?

Everything looked normal. Stores, houses, sidewalks and trees, but no people. Everything was dead silent.

Until, she heard footsteps.

Whispers.

And breathing.

People began to emerge from the shadows. They held pitchforks and torches with blazing flames that illuminated their sneering faces. Mabel didn't recall having a nightmare or fear about pitchforks. What was this?

The people began to line up on sidewalks. A few people with the biggest pitchforks and torches came towards her.

"That's her!" they shouted, "That's the girl!"

Before Mabel could respond to the mayhem, they grabbed her arms and pulled them behind ger back. The man held her arms tightly so she couldn't move, and Mabel could feel her blood flow slowing and the grip of his hands squeezing on her.

She was forced to walk down the streets, surronded by shouting mobs of people.

"Lock her up!" they screamed. "Bad girl!"

"Throw her in the pit!"

Mabel felt hurt and intimidated. She looked around and the angry croud, wondering what in the world was going on.

She was brought to a ladder, with a big platform on top. She was forced to climb, higher and higher, until she reached the top. All of the people were far below her, but close enough to see their faces.

But still pretty high.

Her knees shaked and she shakily climbed the last few rungs. She was terribly afraid of heights. Maybe this was a heights nightmare.

No. It can't be. If it was a heights nightmare, why the torches and scary strangers?

Someone took her by the sweater collar and picked her up. She was held and brought above the ground beneath her, and...a pit of snakes?

Maybe she was afraid of snakes.

Unlikely. She loved animals, even deadly ones.

Except when she was put in their path.

The crowd began shouting again.

"Criminal!" she heard. "Bad." "EVIL!"

Then they began an ongoing chant, "THROW HER IN THE PIT!" "THROW HER IN THE PIT!"

Then she knew what the nightmare was. It wasn't heights. It wasn't snakes.

It was being thought of as a bad person.

"I'm not!" she screamed, "I'm not a bad person! I'm good!"

But they kept continuing with their shouts.

"THROW HER IN THE PIT!"

"NOOOOO!" she screamed.

He held her over the pit.

"Five."

"Nooooo!"

What could she do?

"Four."

"Nooooo!"

"Three."

Maybe she was a bad person.

"Two."

No. Conquer the fear.

"One."

It didn't matter what they thought. She knew she was a good person on the inside. She didn't care about them. Only Dipper.

"Zero."

She closed her eyes as she was dropped, to be bitten by the millions of snakes below.

And she landed on the hard ground.

"Huh?"

The town was gone. She had conquered the fear.

She wiped tears from her eyes that she didn't even notice was there before. She looked ahead. She notices that the black dot had gotten closer.

And it wasn't a black dot.

Now the dot looked more like a cave, with two statues that looked like some sort of strange demon-creature in the front.

It was time to keep moving.

...

The cave seemed to be getting clearer but not closer. There must be only one nightmare left. What could it be?

Probably the worst one.

But what was her worst nightmare?

She pondered on the thought as she walked for another two hours.

17 hours left.

She was tired. She was hungry. She was close to crying.

Her arm was bleeding, her leg was in pain, and her heart was cracked in two.

Suddenly, she felt the wind blowing west. It blew so hard that she had to move her head to the left.

As soon as she did the wind stopped. And she was one million percent sure she was super happy that she did. Standing there, was...

Her heart swelled.

"DIPPER!"

She laughed and screamed and ran to jump on him and hug him...

And she went right through him.

"Huh?"

She noticed that Dipper didn't seem to hear her. Also that he was a bit transparent. Then she noticed that all the people in her previous nightmares looked that way.

This had to be her last nightmare.

She saw Bill, who was also transparent and just a part of the nightmare, came into view.

"Please let me go." Dipper pleaded.

"NEVER!" Bill laughed maniacally, "Unless you want me to destroy your sister."

"Never mind." said Dipper.

"Good choice." Bill said.

"Now, "he began, "your first lesson. You rebel, and you get punished."

As soon as he said that, his hands began glowing red. Electricty surronded his hands. Suddenly, he shot out the electricity, and hit Dipper!

She heard his torturous screams echo in the nothingness.

"DIPPER!"

She cried. She cried as he screamed and Bill laughed.

"No...DIPPER!" she screamed between choked sobs.

That's it. Her life was over.

No. Conquer the fear.

But how would she conquer the fear of losing Dipper?

Never. She would never.

No, she could.

Dipper wouldn't die. She would save him. She could save him.

"I'll save you Dipper!" she shouted, "No matter what!"

Then the nightmare disappeared. She had conquered all her biggest fears. She had made it through the nightmare realm. How did she know?

The cave was right in front of her.

Yeah! Finally time for interesting things to happen! This is where the rest of the objects comes into play. Yeah. Yeah. I'm tired but ate a lot of candy so yeah. See ya.
