A lone figure floated in the desolated monochrome mindscape.

Her name being Mabel Cipher, a dream demon, well-known in the multiverse for being powerful, dangerous, and destructive.

Anyone who recognized her knew never to cross her if you valued your life. She was wanted in hundreds of universes that she hadn't liberated yet.

Dozens of what appeared to be bubbles floated around her, each displaying a different scene in them. One bubble displayed a scene where a man was abusing of his wife alongside her kids. Another was of a scene of a whole village living in poverty striving to find a way to make ends meet, one by one she looked at the bubbles staring at the humans with disgust. Their world was too corrupt and she wonders if it's too late to save them.

Turning her head, she teleported away from the bubbles and into another part of the mindscape, where it was filled with nothing but colorless fields of daisies. Mabel allowed herself to fall back on them feeling the daisies tickle her human skin, she liked to come here whenever she was overwhelmed with reality and wanted to think or whenever she needed to escape the eye of her demon posse.

Mabel stared up at the stars that hung in the sky, contemplating whether or not to count them or make them into constellations. In the end she chose neither and started to reminisce over the past twelve years since both choices required her to do work she was not in the mood for.

What she could remember before being trapped in her stone prison was the older Pine twins tricking her, her of all people! The master of chaos! The humiliation she felt when it happened had not yet settled down on her. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a powerful being and had a long history of crazy partying, her posse would have left her a long time ago.

She still remembers the look of disbelief on their faces when she showed up to them as they were partying in the mindscape. They weren't expecting her to come back and labeled her as dead. 'Some good friends they all turned out to be' she snarled. In the end she took back her place as their leader and forgave them for their misunderstanding, they were all still willing to help her create a perfect world and that's all she needed from them.

It was amazing how all it took was one poor, unsuspecting tourist to touch her statue and wham! Freedom at last. She took the tourist soul and in return had gained a new human form and the ability to come and go from Gravity Falls as she pleases. Who would have guessed all she needed was a single human soul, but her power was limited outside of Gravity Falls and try as she may she could not spread her weirdness until the barrier was destroyed.

After some debating she decided she needed a long overdue vacation. She waited a trillion years for Weirdmageddon what's a few more extra years until some of the humans in her zodiac wheel died off. So she spent her time regaining her powers and growing stronger by taking deals outside of Gravity Falls, hoping that the day would come where she would take everyone by surprise. Sadly her power was not strong enough to open the rift, she would first need to destroy the barrier. Because of this her Henchmaniacs could not get out of the mindscape unless they were summoned by a human which was rare, but even then their time was limited in the physical world. She could see the envy in their demonic eyes. They wanted out of the mindscape, but could not until she opened the rift again, and so she promised them she would - they would just have to be patient.

Before she knew it twelve years had passed as she was taking her vacation. Time held no meaning to her - she was not surprised that time went by so quick. However, what did shock her were the Pines twins. Over the course of those years they had grown. The Uncles did not surprise her as they were already old as farts, but Pine Tree and Corn Chip had exceeded her expectation. They both had grown into stunning young adults.

She learned by observing Pine Tree, that he and Llama have been traveling around the world in search of mysteries, and it also didn't take a fool to notice the two were utterly in love with one another. It disgusted her seeing them act all lovey-dovey with one another, because of this she spent less time watching them.

Corn Chip on the other hand she had learned, lived a quiet life even though he moved to Gravity Falls, which should have been the opposite. Occasionally she would observe him flirting and asking girls out who were slightly older than him, his relationships never lasted long before they deemed him too childish or just didn't like him and left. It reminded her of the old habit of chasing after boys throughout the multiverse before she was banished to the nightmare realm. She's had more than her share of relationships over the years and just like Corn Chip's, hers never lasted long before she got bored at them pretending they liked her or figuring out she didn't connect with the guy who she thought was the 'one'. It was always the same plain cycle, she would date them, she would break up with them, (or they would break up with her) she would end up liberating their dimension and then lastly she would move on. Repeat.

Mabel found herself watching him for the longest time figuring out his hobbies, his likes and dislikes, what he did as a job, which was a children's writer in the day and a part-time bartender at night.

It didn't take her long to figure out what she was doing and by the end of it she was disgusted with herself. Blaming her stupid human form before retreating to the mindscape; only coming out to make deals. Her friends never questioned why she spent her time locked up in the mindscape when she had total access to the physical world, they knew better than to question her when she didn't want to talk about it. Not even her close friend Pyronica dare bring it up.

She only lasted two months before she started to crave his presence again.

By that time she could hardly control the sudden desire to have him belong to her. She wanted him as her toy, her pet, her slave, anything if it meant she got to keep him. And oh how she hated to admit it.

She was a demon - it was natural to want someone that you could bend to your will.

Her friends use to have playthings of their own until they got bored and ate them. She didn't like the idea of killing him, but for all she knew this was just another innocent little crush. She would get bored of him eventually and throw him away just like the rest of her old lovers she had. Maybe she just missed the feeling of having someone wrapped around her finger? It's been awhile since she had someone to call her own after all. Her obsession with him would come and go just like the rest, but she wanted to at least test it out.

With that in mind she finally swallowed her pride and went back to his dimension to check on the twins.

That's when she discovered Pine Tree had fallen in a deep coma because of an accident involving him and Llama searching for sasquatches or something. She knew that his curiosity was going to get him hurt or killed eventually, if it wasn't for the interest she had on him when he was young she would have done it herself already.

She gave Pine Tree no mind and went to search for Corn Chip - easily finding him since he never moved.

But he seemed different and not the different she liked.

He no longer smiled, well truly smiled - the one he always wore was too tight it was obvious that he was faking it.

His dreams once filled with life and colors just up and vanished. They were now plain as the grey mindscape. His usual dreams of him and Pine Tree going on adventures soon turned into nightmares causing him to rarely sleep at all. She would see Corn Chip call the hospital weekly to check on Pine Tree's status, sometimes hear him say that 'this would be the day'. He lacked any color in his skin, almost looking sickly, and eyes always bloodshot with dark circles around them. He looked like a vampire and not the hot kind. It had an effect on his writing too, his books no longer held the same creativity they once had and so kids stopped reading them and he stopped writing them.

She was a fool to believe that Corn Chip wouldn't be affected by Pine Tree's state, they were siblings after all (even if she didn't understand the connection between being blood related, afterall weren't they all humans?).

It would be a matter of time before he finally broke. She hated it. For someone who wears tons of yellow he acted and looked so grey.

What's the fun of having an already broken toy? She wanted the old Corn Chip back yet she wanted the rest of the Pines family to suffer for the humiliation she felt.

How could she get both things at once?

She stared at the picture frame next to him as he slept; it showed both him and Pine Tree. Corn Chip would give up anything for his brother's safety and his family would do the same too...

Her lips curled into a sinister smile. For a being who says that she's all knowing she could be an idiot at times. This could be the chance she was looking for!

She would be able to have him and would finally get her revenge. And if she indeed gets bored of him she would just throw him away and make the Pines family suffer even more.

It would be like the phrase she heard humans always say, like killing two birds with one stone.

In the end everything played into her hands, she had successfully made a deal with him and was able to add Pine Tree in it as insurance in case she needed to threaten him.

So Pine Tree did come in handy after all.

Though it was a shame she didn't cause his accident (she's forgotten how fragile humans actually were) or even thought of doing it – it would have meant one less hindrance trying to foil her plans. Don't get her wrong she didn't hate Pine Tree (the twin Grunkles though were on the top of her shitlist) she admired his spirit for adventure. He reminded her of herself a bit when she decided to leave her own home dimension – how just the thought of discovering new things would make her jump with joy and dive into a new dimension.

But in her many travel through dimensions she learned not everything was perfect as she thought it was. This led her wanting to help other dimensions. To help her dimension. Unfortunately her dimension did not agree with her ideals of change.

They did not want to change for the better. This was why she hated her dimension. Flat Minds in a flat world with flat dreams, all of which she did not want to be a part of. So she liberated them from their ignorance by destroying them.

She continued to do this to other dimensions that did not want to change – meeting her posse along the way, together they were an unstoppable force.

It was all fun and games until she and her friends were banished into the nightmare realm.

By that time, it was too late, she had left her name on every dimension being nicknamed 'The God Of Destruction'. She didn't know how it happened, but somehow word had gotten out about her in the human infested dimension, humans began seeking her out for power. She thought that maybe their dimension would be different. That maybe they would be more open to her ideals, and so her sights were set on them. Thousands of years of planning later some humans had caught on to her plan and tried to stop her. Their whole existence were erased, but not before they figured out her weakness, her zodiac wheel. Drawing it on cave walls; hoping that one day someone would find all the symbols and bring them together to vanquish her. Luckily it didn't go as plan seeing as the Pines were only able to lock her in her own body for a few months before she was freed again.

She honestly didn't know where she went wrong with these ungrateful fleshbags - was she not acting generous and forgiving? 'More than enough' she thought bitterly.

"Will I ever find a place where I'll be appreciated for the things I'm trying to do?!" She growled in anger making the mindscape shift; not caring that her blue flames began burning the fields of daisies.

A sudden snort broke her out of her trance, she looked down and her anger immediately vanished into thin air. Mabel smiled, it was her pet pig Waddles.

"Aww has mommy been neglecting her baby Waddles? Come over here" The demoness cooed as she picked up the small pig; placing it on her lap.

During her time with Sixer when she wasn't planning for Weirdmageddon she would spent her free time observing earth's creatures. The one that captured her attention the most were pigs she had come across as Sixer was exploring a farm nearby. She instantly fell in love with them. Small legs, round body, and short snout they were absolutely cute! And she was a sucker for cute things.

She wanted one, and she always got what she wanted. She was willing to take one with her to the mindscape, but turned that idea down seeing as all the pigs and piglets ran away as she approached them seeming to be afraid of her. So instead she decided to make one using her magic. It took her a few tries but she managed to make an exact replica of a pig which she now calls Waddles because of the way he waddles.

Waddles oinked as Mabel ran her hands through its smooth skin; rubbing certain areas to please it.

"Don't worry right after I get my toy you won't be alone anymore when I go out making deals." Her pig lifted its head and gave her a blank stare. "And I'm going to need you to keep an eye on him when I'm not around, okay?" It gave no indication that it understood her and just continued to stare; tilting its head sideways as if he was trying to understand her.

Mabel pulled a pocket watch from her tailcoat and looked at it – moments later she let out a sigh. "I guess it's time to wake up that sleepy head." She shook her head and grinned "And collect my new toy." She laid Waddles down and disappeared from the mindscape and appeared next to a hospital bed with a familiar brunette laying on it. "Wakey-wakey Pine Tree~"
