(Mabel's P.O.V.)

Today was a busy day at the Mystery Shack! I sat on the counter in the gift shop, waiting for someone to come in. I had to take over for Grunkle Stan since he was in the back, still getting the party ready. I looked at the clock, ticking slowly. "It's only 2 o'clock.." I laid back on the counter, still thinking who would come tonight. Hopefully Pacifica wouldn't. Then, Wendy entered the room.

"Oh hey Mabel, you seem upset. What's wrong?" She asked leaning against the counter.

"Wendy, I'm really nervous about tonight, and I want a lot of people to come, but I don't at the same time." I said sitting up.

"Hey it'll be alright Mabel, we'll get through. And don't be that nervous, I'm sure you can invite some friends of yours" She said walking back to the kitchen.

That was thing. We had just been sent away to Gravity Falls for the summer, but I didn't really have any friends other than Autumn. And then there was Dipper. But he was my brother. Was this party going to go well? I thought about it as Soos walked in the room.

"Oh hey dude! Anybody come in yet?" He asked putting a dollar in the vending machine. "Soos, no one has come and it's already 2 in the afternoon. Maybe this party wasn't a good idea."

"Mabel, you can't give up on yourself like that" I heard him shove some chips in his mouth. "Your'e a cool dude and everything, but don't give up." He was gone in an instant too.

Wendy and Soos were right. Don't give up on yourself. It was 5 now, and lots of people started showing up. I got dressed in my outfit, and danced on the dance floor. It was actually pretty fun, but thinking that no one was there to do it with me, made me a little upset. But today was a big day, and the negatives weren't going to get to me.

Dipper walked down the stairs with a little bow on his shirt. "Is that all you got?" I asked him walking up to him. He gave just stared with a smile across his face. "Hey, kid?" Grunkle Stan asked Dipper.

"I need someone to help with the ticket booth. Do you think you could help?" Grunkle Stan held a roll of tickets.

"oh, of course Grunkle Stan! I promise I won't let you down!" Dipper cheered. His smile became wider. "You promise me Dipper?" He asked.

"I promise." He replied. Grunkle Stan shook his head pleased, and threw the ticket roll at him. Dipper looked at me, still having that smile.

"Well good for you Dip. looks like you'll be outside all night giving tickets to everyone." I said sarcastically. His smile faded into a frown.

"Mabel, come on, I'm not going to be out there all night." Dipper then walked away.

Some people think that the Mystery Shack was creepy. Grunkle Stan had always said, that he made fake merchandise, but people thought it was real. Like the other day, I saw him spray paint gold onto some rocks. The price for it was $40 dollars a piece. That same night, they were gone. I wondered why Grunkle Stan was like this. Ever since Dipper had shown me the journal, things have changed. He's been so caught up in it, and he seemed to never have fun. No, that was a lie. He always has fun, especially with me.

(Dipper's P.O.V.)

I walked into our room, lying down on the bed. As I looked out the window, I thought. Would I be sitting out there all night? What about Autumn? Or Wendy? The two girls I hang out with, other then Mabel, but~

Autumn walked into the room holding the same type of tickets Grunkle Stan gave me. She noticed and looked shocked. "D..did you ask to do it too?" She asked.

"Uh, yeah." I could feel my stomach forming knots again.

"Well, that'll be cool! I mean, we get to stay at the stand together. I'm hoping we're not out there all night." She rubbed her arm before walking out. Then the knots in my stomach faded. Oh-no. I would be out there with her all night. What if I make a fool out of myself? Questions whirled around my head, and then, everything went grey, again.

A huge orb of light formed in the room, and once it faded, he was here. Bill Cipher.

"Well well well, look at you. Ladies boy, huh?" He laughed. "Hey kid? Whatever happened to our little deal?"

"Leave me alone Bill! What I think is none of your business! And, I'm not making any deals with you okay? You tried to trick me into summoning you, well guess what?-'

"What pine tree? Are you going to cheat out of your journal so you could get rid of me? If you try summoning me then maybe I would give you another chance. Maybe I will tell you the secrets of Gravity Falls. Maybe I'll even leave you alone for good."

What could Bill possibly do to me? What could he do that's so bad. He's just a one eyed triangle. He is a dream demon! He can't possibly do anything to me.

BeforeIknew it, everything was colored again. Mabel sat at the end of my bed, staring confused. "You alright bro bro? You've been asleep for over 2 hours!"

"What?!" I was in complete shock. This couldn't be true. "Mabel, are you lying to me?" I asked sitting up, rubbing my eyes. It only felt like 5 minutes.

She stared at me giving me an evil look. "Dipper! I would never lie to you!" Now I could tell she was being serious. I sighed. "I'm sorry Mabel, it's just, I dreamed of Bill again."

"It's alright bro, he's just a triangle. He won't do anything to you." And she skipped down the stairs, leaving me to think out loud.
