Bill laughed, the date between Pine Tree and Gideon had gone great! For him, anyway. A breakup! It was perfect. Now, he had Pine Tree all to himself. No more li'l Gideon getting in the way. He would cherish the moment of their breakup for years to come.

. . . At least he would if Dipper wasn't down in the dumps like he had been since the two broke up. Why? Why? Dipper had Bill. Bill was great (at least Bill thought so)! But nooooo! Dipper had to be upset about it! To make things worse Gideon was actually to get along with him. It was driving Bill insane! He had started to avoid the kid. Bill, a literal demon, was avoiding a human. Worse, the human was making him crazy. Again, he was a literal demon. He did the crazy, not the other way around.

Dipper sighed, pulling Bill from his internal monologue, "I don't know, Bill, I don't think I should've just broken up with him."

Bill frowned, "Of course it was good, kid! You got one less person to be bothered by."

"Unfortunately, it was the less annoying one," Dipper muttered, hoping Bill couldn't hear him.

Bill scowled, he was getting annoyed, "Pine Tree, don't be like that. I'm better then that selfish meat sack any day."

Dipper turned to look at him, "That's what I mean! You think he's awful, he thinks your awful! You two are constantly at each other's throats. I hate it! I'm not asking you to have to actually like each other, just get along!" Dipper sighed, again, "I just want to go on a date with both of you, instead of having only one of you. I- why am I even telling you this? It's not like you actually care!" Dipper yelled.

"Woah, there, Pine Tree. I care about you," Bill quickly said, surprised by the sudden shouting.

Dipper scoffed, "Yeah, right. You even said you hated him!"

"I didn't say I hated him," Bill said, realizing it was a rather sorry defense.

"Whatever, just go," Dipper said.

"Wait, Dipper, we can work this out," Bill said. Calling him Dipper instead of Pine Tree would get his attention, Bill hardly called him that. At least he hoped it would.

"I am sick of hearing your excuses! Get out and don't come back," Dipper yelled, pointing to the door.

"Wait, wait, are you. . . breaking up with me?" Bill asked, distressed.

"Yeah, I guess I am," Dipper turned towards the window, he noted the hole from when he and Mabel had played golf was still there. He should probably tell her about all this.

Bill, frowning, and already scheming, flashed out of the room and into the mindscape, away from the confusing human emotions running around the old attic.

Almost immediately afterwards, Mabel entered, "What's up, Dipper? I heard yelling," she said, softly.

"It's nothing Mabel," Dipper replied, turning around and flopping on the bed.

Mabel went over and sat by him, "Really, you seem, sad. You wanna go out hunting for magicky stuff like usual?"

Dipper curled on the bed facing the wall, "I just want to be left alone for a while."

Mabel frowned, her fears had come true. There was a breakup. A bad one, too, from the looks of it. She had decided, she would fix it, or her reputation as a matchmaker was wrong. Nah, it wasn't wrong, she just needed to help them work this rough patch. They'll get back together and live happily ever after. Probably.

After leaving Dipper to his sulking, she made a plan. It was foolproof.

Step 1: Get Bill and Gideon to meet.

Step 2: Get them to be friends.

Step 3: Get them to see Dipper.

Mabel smiled, yep, it was foolproof. Time for the first step. She called Gideon, although she really didn't want to. He still gave her the creeps sometimes, despite his old crush on her being gone. Summoning Bill from the mindscape was more complicated, but nothing she couldn't handle. She had done it many times before (Dipper blamed that weird demon romance phase she had). Sure, it would be a little awkward considering all their shared history (read: Dipper) but she could do it, no problem.

The two entered the Mystery Shack's living room, if it could be called that, at almost the same time.

"Shooting Star, we've gone over this, demons don't fall in love the way you meat sacks do," Bill sighed, not bothering to ask why she had summoned him.

"Is it true? Does my sweet candy drop really want me back?" Gideon said, slamming open the door and rushing to Mabel, "Is it Mabel? And may I say, you look lovely today," he winked.

Mabel fought the shivers down her spine, yep, still a little creepy, "I'm gonna teach you to share Dipper!"

Gideon then realized Bill was in the room, earning a resounding "what?!" from him and Bill both, followed by the pair glaring at each other.

"I'm leaving," Gideon said, storming out.

"Me too," Bill said, flashing out.

Mabel frowned, ok, this may be a little harder than she thought. Next time, she'd force them to talk it out. For Dipper's sake. Not because she wanted to torture the pair for hurting her best friend/twin brother.

Q: miracle of miracles, I've updated on the same day for two weeks instead of some random time. Maybe it'll happen again. Who knows. Also, a very ambiguous time skip happened towards the beginning. Personally, I like the thought of a slightly protective Mabel not wanting her brother to get hurt (and vice versa) so that's a thing.
