Thank you all for the reviews.


If someone told Mabel a month ago that she would be sitting in her room crying about a breakup followed soon by a dream demon looking to make a deal with her, she would have laughed in their faces and called them nuts. That's what was happening right now though. She was sitting on her bed with tear stained cheeks with a dream demon trying to get her to make a deal.

"What on earth makes you think I am crazy enough to make a deal with you?" she asked while crossing her arms and glaring up at him. "The first time we met you were trying to invade Grunkle Stan mind to help steal the shack."

Bill chuckled darkly. "True. That's not a good enough reason to keep you from making a little deal with me though." He paused, letting his words soak in a bit. "Especially if it means you'd get to be happy again." The demon then turned around and floated to the other side of the room, lazily looking over the things the twins had lying in the room.

He had her right where he wanted her, and she knew it. She craved happiness, and his promise of it was more than enough to have her debate on whether to make a deal or not. She sat still on her bed for a bit, concentrating hard on the ground in front of her as she tried desperately to organize her thoughts.

She tried to think of the last time she was happy, all smiles and no worries. The only thought that could come to mind was when Paul had taken her out on a date down at the diner. He was sharing stories and telling jokes, making funny faces to match. That whole day Mabel was happy and blissful, not a moment of sadness or pain, she was smiling the whole time and it never let up. Mabel wanted something like that again, someone to make her happy, someone to give her pure bliss again. She knew then what she wanted to ask for.

"What about a boyfriend?" Mabel had asked looking at the floor. It was a weird question and she did not want to see the demons reaction to it. She only sat there hoping the laughter would be brief.

The demon turned away from the book he was examining and flipped back around to face her. "You want a boyfriend? Perfect." He said in a sickeningly sweet voice. "I just need a few drops of your blood before we can call this a deal."

What could be the down side to this she wondered? Did Dipper ever say anything about giving a demon blood? She didn't think so, from what she remembered the journals had little info on demons. Was this safe? What if he cut off one of her arms to take the blood? Questions and concerns buzzed through her mind, making her dizzy with fear and worry.

"You'll be fine Shooting Star." Bill interrupted her thoughts. "Look all I'm going to do is take some blood from your finger with a little pinprick. Nothing to worry about, it's not like I'm chopping your arm off." He finished with a knowing chuckle.

Nervous beyond control, Mabel nodded and held out a shaky finger. Every muscle in her body was telling her to stop and run away, it was not worth it. She would have listened to them if the demon had not taken hold of her wrist. Bracing herself for the worst, she shut her eyes tight and waited for a large flood of pain, instead she simply heard the demon say he was done.

She examined her finger, finding that a small wound was indeed there. "What if I don't like the guy or if I'm unhappy? I can still break off the deal right?" She asked the demon suddenly, mentally yelling at herself for not thinking to ask the question earlier.

"Sure you can," The demon started, "I just get to have your conscious mind if you do!" The demon stated with a bubbly voice.

"What! You never did that when Gideon broke his deal!" Mabel shouted at the demon. This wasn't fair. He should have told her ahead of time, before the deal. She should have asked.

Bills eye crinkled merrily at her reaction to the news. "Gideon is the reason I made this new policy shooting star. I can't have everyone walk away from a deal without some consequence."

Mabel almost screamed she was so frustrated right now, "You decided that to prevent people from breaking off deals, you'd make it to where they'd be turned into vegetables!"

Bill just replied with a happy, "Yep."

Mabel slumped down onto her bed and held her head in her hands. She had gotten herself into quite a mess, with no way out to make matters worse. Her mind wandered away from her and she was left wondering what kinda person Bill would set her up with. Would he be a jerk and set her up with the gnomes, or even worse, with Gideon. The thought made her shutter, whatever happened she would have to deal with it if she didn't want to become a vegetable for the rest of her life.

While Bill enjoyed listening to the girl's thoughts spiral downwards, he had things he needed to do. "Shooting Star I need you to listen."

Mabel's thought where screeched to a halt at the sound of his voice. She had completely forgotten Bill was still in the room with her. Shaking her head she tried to clear her thoughts before listening to what the demon had to say. She hopped it wouldn't be more devastating news.

"Listen carefully Shooting star this is important." He began. "Tomorrow morning you will be downstairs in the gift shop around the time it opens. Someone will walk into the store and greet you with, 'Can you help me with this snow globe?' That individual will be the person you will be dating, understand?

Mabel nodded almost hypnotically, still trying to take in all the info she was given.

"Great. Well, bye." That was the last thing the demon said before disappearing and leaving Mabel alone to wallow in her thoughts.
