~Ch. 5 Lost Time~
Mabel was left alone in her room due to the girls having something they needed to do. Mabel tried to think of a way to find her brother while looking through ton's of her brothers papers. she suddenly found a drawing book that she hadn't seen before when she opened it there were very well drawn pictures of dipper and bill along with grunkel stan! she looked through them until she found a pick of bill and dipper but it had a heart around the 2. she guessed dipper had a crush on bill or something and what confirmed it were the ton's off small doodles in the back of bill all over in different angles and in the bottom right it said 'love can be blinding, love can be pure, but for bill i don't think i want a cure.' it said and she bushed. he was apparently poetic to. "jeez dipper had it bad." she said and found a picture of bill in dippers arm's sitting next to grunkle stan but there was someone else there to, a girl off in a corner of the shot who seemed to shy to come into it any farther. "who are you?" she said confused and looked closer. "Mabel hey girl i finished my shift, what are you looking at?" wendy asked and mabel turned the picture to her. "so bill, your brother and grunkel stan were buddy's okay..." she said confused. "NO look at the corner that's what i was looking at!" she said and wendy looked. "whoa who's that?" she asked and mabel shrugged. "i think i saw a picture of her somewhere to!" she said and looked through the drawing book. "found it!" she said and show'd the girl fully.
the picture had a girl with brown hair down to her knees and had a purple hoodie on (unzipped) and the shirt underneath said eyes of the broken with a bloody spot on it, her pant's were a worn out skull pattern and she had her hair in her face only showing off one side of her face, she had crystal blue eyes that seemed to shimmer with innocence but also knowledge, she had a sketch book in her arms and a mechanical pencil with a dragon on the side curling around it. she had a shadowy figure of herself floating beside her but it didn't have a shadow like her in fact it looked like a demonic version of her hair floating around her lean form and her hair covering her one eye floated as well the ghost figure was missing an eye and smirking at the younger version who seemed to look at her with admiration or hope of some sort, her demonic version was holding out a lighter to her and she seemed to be saying something. there was an actual picture attached and show'd the girl in the position but only an orb floated next to her.
"whoa!" wendy said. the picture caught all the emotion going through the girl and it seemed dipper felt that and drew it in. "dipper..." mabel said and then got an idea. "do you think we could find this girl!" she said and wendy thought about it. "i know everyone in gravity falls but i have never met her before!" she said but then got an idea. "what if she lives out side of gravity falls." she said and mabel nodded excitedly. "well, time to search for old gravity falls residence!" she said and they went to the library where there was a old dusty book full of names of people who use to live there. it was updated every time someone left. "did the drawing or picture have a name?" wendy asked searching and mabel looked. "no, but maybe there are pictures somewhere in this book." they flipped to a section that had pictures and it show'd a lot of them like a old man with a fish in his arms laughing or a kid smiling a broken grin, they searched until they found a picture of a scared little girl who was curled up in the picture holding the same sketch book. "so this must be her!" they looked at the bottom. "hmm... her name is shades..." wendy said and mabel blinked in surprise. "she was 15 in the picture but she look's like she's 5!" she said surprised and wendy nodded. "i hope we can find her with this address it gives." she said and they nodded looking at each-other.
~after a drive~
they turned into a town called Heartless Annie. they drove until they saw a little girl like the one from the pictures getting the mail. mabel rolled down her window. "hey!" she called and the girl jumped turning eyes full of fear. "do you have a mother we could talk to?" she asked and the girl nodded and they drove into the drive way. once they stopped and exited they followed the little girl to the door. "M...mother..." the girl quietly said and a women with blonde hair turned she had grayish purple eyes. "yes how may i help you?" she asked and walked over, mabel noticed the small girl hide behind her mother. she then noticed her mothers stomach. "oh sorry i'm wendy and this is mabel we're looking for a women or girl named shades rosemary!" she said and the women noticed mabel. "is there a reason your looking for my daughter?" she asked and they both blinked. "shades!" she said and the small girl behind her peeked out. "y...yes mother?" she said eye twitching as if she had a tic problem. "do you know them?" she asked and looked worried. the girl looked at them her hair covering her eye again and her eyes landed on mabel. "i...i r...remember them." she said walking slowly forward scared. "y...your m...mabel a...and w...wendy from t...the drawings..." she said and grabbed her sketch book opening it to show dipper drawing. "he was fond of y...you t...two..." she said head flinching to the side before regaining it's position. "you know dipper?" mabel asked and the 2 other girls nodded. "dipper was a friend of shades when we lived in gravity falls."
the mother stated sitting down carefully. "i'm sorry to ask but, are you pregnant?" wendy dead panned and the other nodded smiling sadly. "i have been for 13 years." she said and the 2 froze on the spot. "whoa!" mabel said scared and shades jumped onto the chair's arm as her mother brushed her hair. ""our neighbors here hate us because we cannot grow older. my baby as well." she said and sighed. "shades is still 15 no matter how much time passes and i'm still 30 with a baby only a month away from birth. but will never come." she said and shades swung her feet lightly scratching at the achene scattered on her face her mother swatted her hand away and she continued the petting. "but how old were you when you had shades?" wendy asked confused. "i was 30!" she said and they looked confused. "time stopped for me at 30 years shades years continued until 15 then i had another child but it's still not born yet." she said and the girls looked worried now. "why is this happening?" mabel asked and the 2 shook their heads. "we don't know that is why we went to gravity falls to find out." she said and mabel looked excited. "shades met a friend finally like her." she said and sighed. "dipper was having a slow aging problem as well so he and shades got along nicely we were examined for years by the pines family, but no cure was available for this infection." she said and shades frowned. "no matter if we tried to kill ourselves, we won't die either." she said and held shades head under her chin. "we cannot die, we won't age. we just wanted to be normal."
she said and shades hugged her. "dipper, made shades feel normal, and your uncles helped me feel normal to~" she smiled Mabel smiled back eyes sparkling but then she grew curious. "do you know bill?" she asked and shades mother looked confused but shades slowly nodded. "bill... he... let's just say he was scared of me for some reason." she said tilting her head and mabel bit her finger. "are you guy's planning on coming back?" she asked and the 2 froze in their steps. "go... back..." shades said solemnly. "i'm sorry but i don't think right now is a good time to ask u..." her mother said but shades stopped her. "no, i want to go back!" she said staring at them and her mother looked shocked. "you do?" she asked and shades nodded. "if it means i can repay bill and dipper for making me feel happy, i'll do it!" she said and her mother smiled. "i think she can stay with you." she said to mabel who smiled and they 2 cheered.
~mystery shack~
shades stepped into the shack and looked around. "well stan sure changed the place!" she said and hopped onto the couch. "what do you mean?" mabel asked and wendy listened. "well, before this place was a lot... well... more dangerous!" she said and laughed a little. "it was?" wendy asked and the girl nodded sighing. "i thought i'd never see this blood stain again!" she laughed pointing at the rug. "that's blood?" mabel said un-nerved now. "yeah, when i started my growing default i threw up blood like you wouldn't believe!" she said and sighed. "so, i'll go tell g..." the 2 men entered and froze seeing the new arrival. "s...shades?" the 2 asked and shades slowly stood up nodding. the 2 walked over and hugged her she smiled hugging back. "we have so much to talk about, i can't believe it's you!" ford said and she giggled. "you both look so old and worn out!" she laughed teary eyed. "i thought i would look bad!" she laughed and stan sighed. "hey whats this shades i think i see a bug." he yelled chasing her. she laughed running and dodging before sliding behind mabel who laughed as they all began to laugh.
