Part 5: Things work out (final part)
This Is more of an aftermath. The ending of the story was that the timeline can go any way. Mabel could end up doing all this over again, maybe in a different way, Bill could win, Bill could loose like in the actual series, anything. However, this epilogue or aftermath focuses on only if things go canon. However, Time baby is the only one who remembers what happened. This will be a short part, but it wraps up this part of the story.
Part 1: Bill Succeeds.
Mabel was tricked by Blendin. She was captured in a bubble. Weirdmageddon had begun. From his crib in 207̃012, Time Baby is awoken by the arrival of a very panicked time agent. "What do you want" says Time Baby. "Time Baby, something terrible has happened" the agent says. "Bill Cipher has created a rift in space time, the nightmare realm is leaking into the year 2012 as we speak. "hmmm, very concerning" says Time baby. "Round up the agents, were going to 2012". "right away sir" the agent says. As the agent runs off to alert the other agents, Time baby realizes something. "Hold up" he yells. "Yes Time Baby" the agent says. "Its too risky to send real agents, I don't want to lose them again" he yells. "Prepare the holograms". "uh, sure thing Time Baby" the agent says. "Uhh Time baby. We've never lost any agents to Bill. Did we?" As Time Baby has the memory of being killed by Bill in another timeline, he decided to not send himself to the past. But now an agent may know. "Right, my bad" says Time baby trying to dodge a bullet. "O-kay" the agent says as he runs off to get the other agent's holograms. Time Baby looks out his window. "You won't get away with this Cipher" he says. "not this time. The faith of the universe now rests on her. I hope she chooses wisely". Time Baby looks down at a photo of Dipper and Mabel. A photo Mabel let him keep after she won the trial, in the other timeline.
Part 2: Wound or Scar
The sun rose over the horizon. It was cool summers day. September had begun. The day had been filled with emotional goodbyes. Dipper and Mabel were now on a bus heading back home after one incredible summer. Memories of all the fun things they had done filled pages upon pages in Mabel's scrapbook. The breeze blew with a chill as Dipper and Mabel looked out the window as they past the you are now leaving Gravity Falls sign. It was a bitter sweet moment. The future, the good and the bad lay ahead.
It was now a while since they had left. "Got any 5s" asks Dipper. The two of them were playing goldfish. "No, goldfish" says Mabel. "got any 8s". "Ahh you got me" says Dipper. "Yes, finally outplayed" says Mabel as she celebrates. As she raises her hands in the air, the sleeve on her sweater falls back a bit. At that moment Dipper notices, something. "Hey Mabel, what's that on your arm" he says. Mabel looks down at her left arm and sees a small scar. The two of them had gotten a lot of scars over the summer from all their adventure (especially from Weirdmageddon) and they never really were worried about them. Everyone got scars, cuts and bruises. But this one was different. It looked just like the emblem on Blendin's time machine. "That's odd" says Mabel. "Its probably from Weirdmageddon. I mean we all got pretty roughed up right". "Ya but it just looks odd right Mabel" says Dipper. "It was Weirdmageddon Dipper, weirdpocalypse, weird scars" says Mabel. "I can't argue with you there" he says. The two return to their card game.
In time the odd scar, like all the other scars Mabel got healed. And she and Dipper never really thought about it after that. All that remained was a faded mark. Kind of like the big Dipper birthmark on Dipper's forehead. In reality, it was not a scar from Weirdmageddon, nor was it from any of Dipper and Mabel's adventures. In reality, it was something much bigger. Mabel had a time scar. A scar that appears on anyone who changed the timeline of history. Call it a side effect to altering time. Dipper had gotten several of them during the mystery fair, but as his altering had a very little effect on time, it was not as severe. Mabel had completely changed the time line for her and so many others, for her, the scar lasted much longer. In time, it did heal, like all scars do. Mabel no longer had a clue of what had happened. But Time Baby did. Every now and then he would look back and remember those times. He would take a moment to see how Mabel was, if she was safe. She did not remember, but he did. And in the end, it was for the better. Mabel did not need to live with the memory of what she had almost done. Of how in an alternate timeline, she became a pineless shooting star, and changed the world. For better, or for worse? Well that's a question, only you can finish the answer to.
THE END
