Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.

In Subcon Forest, Dolly lead Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Rain, Wendy, Vivian, and Alcor to a large chasm not too far from the village. The group jumped down into the chasm and found themselves in a arena-like area with small pool of green water, with an ordinary looking outhouse in the center. Everyone exchanged looks as they slowly approached the outhouse. The contract said to destroy the outhouse and they were prepared to do just that. The team were a few feet from the outhouse, when the door suddenly flew open and the Outhouse roared!

"What the heck?!" Cried Mabel in alarm.

Wendy let out a wild yell as she leaped forward and swung her axe at the Outhouse, only to have the living toilet teleport away and appear a few yards away. The Outhouse fired three large spheres of water at Wendy, but Alcor stepped in and took them out with some fireballs. The others tried to rush the Outhouse, but it leaped into the air and landed on the ground sending a shockwave that knocked everyone down. Dipper scrambled to his feet and fired a magic blast at the Outhouse, but it telepoerted away and appeared a few yards away and fired more balls of water at the group forcing everyone to dodge about.

"How are we supposed to fight this thing?" Asked Wendy.

"Will fight water with water." Said Pacifica as she pulled out Aquarius's key.

One of the water balls flew by and Pacifica stuck the key into it and twisted it.

"Open Aquarius!" Said Pacifica.

There was a flash of light and Aquarius appeared floating in the air. Aquarius sniffed the air and a deep angry scowl appeared on her face as she glanced at the water ball she had been summoned through and the Outhouse. She turned her attention to Pacifica.

"Did you just summon me through water from an OUTHOUSE?!" Yelled Aquarius.

"Yes..." Squeaked Pacifica.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa! You are all in for it NOW!" Yelled Aquarius as she lifted her urn up and and unleashed a massive tidal wave of water.

The tidal wave slammed into the heroes knocking them around and soaking them. The Outhouse managed to teleport away, appeared a few yards away, and tried to attack. Aquarius let out another angry yell and and unleashed tidal waves all over the place. Dipper and his group yelled and screamed as they were thrown about by the wild waves. The Outhouse desperately telepoerted around trying to avoid the attacks and find a safe place, but the waves were too wild and unpredictable. Eventually one good size wave found and hit the Outhouse shattering it to bits. With the enemy destroyed Aquarius calmed down and the waves stopped and vanished.

"Now let this be a lesson to you all. If you dare summon me using toilet water or something equally disgusting you will suffer greatly. Is that UNDERSTOOD?" Said Aquarius looking at Pacifica.

"Yes Aquarius!" Said Pacifica bowing her head.

"Good." Said Aquarius with a smile before vanishing in a flash of light.

"Well at least we got the final job done." Said Mabel.

"But we got soaked." Complained Wendy.

"I can fix that." Said Alcor as he snapped his fingers and some towels and blow dryers appeared.

In a matter of minutes everyone was dry. Now they just had to find Snatcher and get Dipper's soul back. As if sensing the job was complete Snatcher emerged from the pool of green water and faced the group.

"Congratulations! You completed all the jobs on your contract. I'm honestly impressed. I thought for sure you would have failed and died, but you did it. Now let me see your contract and the item you got from the manor's attic and our business will be concluded." Said Snatcher.

Dipper took out the contract and the story book and handed them to Snatcher. A frown appeared on Snatcher's face as he saw the book.

"This item doesn't count. You'll have to go back to the manor and get another item." Said Snatcher.

"WHAT?!" Cried Pacifica.

"We're not going back to that madhouse!" Yelled Dipper.

"Well you're not going to get your soul back, unless you have a item from the manor's attic." Said Snatcher.

"But the book was in the attic!" Cried Dolly trying to trick Snatcher.

"That's a lie. I know exactly what room that book came from. Now if you excuse me, I got other matters to attend to." Said Snatcher as he prepared to leave.

"Not so fast!" Yelled Alcor before he delivered a punch to Snatcher's face knocking him to the ground.

"Alcor!" Gasped Wendy in amazement.

"One way or another you are going to return Dipper's soul to him." Said Alcor glaring at Snatcher.

"Not going to happen pal!" Yelled Snatcher as he shot back up to fight.

Snatcher conjured up dozens of glass flasks full of blue liquid and sent them flying everywhere. Most of the flasks hit the ground and exploded loudly. Alcor dodged a couple of them, but one struck him and knocked him to the ground. The ground beneath Alcor lite up with a white circle and he quickly rolled away as a column of energy shot up barely missing Alcor. More white circles appeared on the ground beneath Alcor forcing him to continue rolling to avoid being hit, until he finally managed to leap to his feet and fly towards Snatcher. Snatcher conjured up more flasks and hurled them at Alcor, who destroyed them with some fireballs. Alcor reached Snatcher and struck him with his cane knocking the monster. Snatcher recovered and hit Alcor with his own fist knocking him back.

"You can't beat me!" Declared Snatcher as more white circles appeared on the ground and shot energy up at Alcor forcing him to dodge about to avoid getting hit.

Mabel saw that things were escalating and she needed to put a stop to the fight, before someone got seriously hurt. Her eyes landed on the storybook and she grabbed it and ran towards Snatcher.

"Is the reason you won't accept this object is because it reminds you were an unfaithful boyfriend to Queen Vanessa?" Called Mabel.

Snatcher stopped fighting to face Mabel and a deep scowl appeared on his face before he spoke.

"I was very faithful to Vanessa."

"Then why were you giving another girl flowers?" Asked Mabel opening the book and showing the pictures of Snatcher's past self with flowers and giving them to what appeared to be another girl.

"There's more to the story then what you know." Said Snatcher as he reached behind himself and produced a couple pieces of paper and handed them to Mabel.

Mabel gasped as she took them. It was the missing pages of the storybook! The others gathered around to look at the pages. The new pages showed the prince wasn't giving a girl flowers, but was actually buying flowers from a girl that sold flowers. The prince was faithful to Vanessa and had been buying flowers to give to her. Mabel and the others were stunned by this revaluation.

"If this is true, why did you rip the pages out?" Asked Dipper.

"I'm not the one who ripped the pages out. It was Vanessa." Said Snatcher.

"Why would she do that?" Asked Mabel.

"Because she refuses to face the reality that she sabotaged her and mines happiness. I tried to tell her I was faithful, but she wouldn't listen and accept the truth. For Vanessa it's much easier to live a happy life based on a lie, then to face a sad truth." Said Snatcher.

"That's not fair! You did nothing wrong!" Said Mabel feeling sympathy for Snatcher.

"Life isn't fair. You just have to deal with the hand, you've been given." Said Snatcher.

"So what now? Are you going to give us Dipper's soul back or are we going to go back to fighting?" Asked Alcor.

"Eh fighting you all is too much of a hassle. I'll take the book and you can have the soul." Said Snatcher snapping his fingers.

Dipper's soul appeared and entered his body. Dipper was happy to be reunited with his soul. Snatcher took the storybook and vanished.

"Now that's all done, allow me to lead you out of Subcon Forest." Said Dolly.

"It's been fun, but I think I need to get going. It's been nice meeting all of you." Said Vivian.

"It was nice meeting you and thanks for the help." Said Dipper.

Vivian waved goodbye and flew off. She wanted to spend more time with Dipper and the others, but she was afraid of what they would think of her once they learned she was a Shadow Siren. Dipper and his group had a Crystal Star and they would do everything in their power to protect it. Vivian was torn between her loyalty to her sisters and her loyalty to her new friends. She didn't know who to side with.

It was then Mr. Dark stepped out from behind a tree with Dark Corvo and Doopliss by his side. Vivian stopped at the sight of Mr. Dark.

"Mr. Dark!" Exclaimed Vivian.

"Hello Vivian. Nice to see you, but I'm sad to say I'm very disappointed in you." Said Mr. Dark.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Vivian nervously.

"Oh we saw you hanging around those humans and other creatures and we know they have a Crystal Star on them, yet you didn't take it from them. I'm sure Spirit and your sisters will be very displeased by this." Said Mr. Dark.

"Please don't tell them! Just give me a chance to get the Crystal Star!" Begged Vivian.

"Alright, will give you a chance, will even help you out. All we have to do now is watch and wait for the right opportunity to strike." Said Mr. Dark.

"Yes..." Said Vivian bowing her head.

It looked like she was going up against her friends.

Elsewhere Dolly lead Dipper and his friends to the edge of Subcon Forest.

"Well here you go. I wish you the best of luck with your journey." Said Dolly.

"Thanks for the help Dolly, we really appreciated it." Said Dipper.

Dolly waved goodbye and walked off.

"I'm afraid this is where we part ways as well." Said Alcor.

"Why?" Asked Wendy.

"I came to get you out of the Subcon Forest, you're out now and are safe. Now I must return to my friends and help them with their quest, but I promise to come back to you, when it's done." Said Alcor before he leaned forward and kissed Wendy on the lips.

Alcor pulled back from a smiling Wendy and flew off. Dipper and his friends headed into Snowdin to find the rest of their group and continue on with their quest to find Horror's Hand.

To be continued.
